CHICAGO, July 12.-Empty is the cradle
birdys flown. This has been comparatively
speaking. a dull Sunday In Chicago. A
good many Of the convention visitors re-
mained over today and divided their time
between the churches and the ball game
but tonight the trains have carried most
OF them away and Chicago is again normal
even the gambling exposition rooms which
entertained me last Sunday have been
closed today, 1t being useless and unneces-
sary to expose gambling to resident people
The only entertainment l have found was
in street band of the Salvation Army, and
even that became unnteresting when stall
wart red shirt passed around the tamborine
for a collection. I have visited all the hotels
and find every campaign sign has vanished
but two. One Is that of the Cook county
Democratic sound money headquarters on
Michigan avenue, where sound money DEM
ocrats are invited to come In and register,
but the doors are locked and there is no
register on the outside. The other is the
Nebraska headquarters at the Clifton which
still remains a tribute to the nominee.
Mr.. Bryan and his wife are still guests of
the Clifton, but spending the day with
friends on the South side to secure little
rest from the multitude of callers. A few of
about plans for the campaign. talked with
one today, and while they knew that many
Democratic papers would repudiate the ticket
and platform now that they are face to face
with the reality they are perpleXed as to
the best course to pursue. He said that
there was no trouble about having plenty
of small papers, but they needed a great
central organ in Chicago and that costs
money. He complained bitterly of the treat
ment the silver movement receives from
the papers, not so much in what they print
as in refusing to let the silver argument
reach the public. The establishing of a
great silver paper in Chicago is one of the
chief topics now under consideration and
will probably be decided upon as soon as
the next st. Louis convention is over.
Silver men express the utmost confidence in
securing the Endorsement of the Populist con-
ventioa next week and are planning to be-
gin an aggressive campaign as that
Is secured. The remarkable result of Bry-
ans oratory In securing him the nomina-
ton makes a presidential stumping tour
probable some enthusiastic silver men want
ing Bryan to challenge Mckinley for a Joint
debate. If this should be done the famous
Lincoln-Douglas debate would be entirely
eclipsed All these things are matters Of
consultation and now that the excitement
is over they realize that there is wide diff
ference between a hurrah nomination and
an election.
All Of the Minnesota delegation has gone
except Lawler. Remer was the only other
one who remained over Sunday and he left
tonight. As usual on such occasions the
lobe was the only st. Paul paper sup
piled at Minnesota headquarters and 1t pre-
vented homesickness. l am looking for the
one and when I get it If l can exchange it
for the sixteen 1 may return myself.
