There's one good thing about Mr..

The Bryan campaign has alread y

goes through the country trying to con-
vince "the common people" that they are
being ruined by "syndicates'' and
TRUSTS, and that those who stand for
honesty are trying to enslave "the

of the Democrats in 1850 resulted in a
majority for Lincoln in every Northern

in the contest over the second place.
He did not hesitate to say, however,
that so far as his individual preference
was concerned it inclined to Mr.. Hobart
of New Jersey.
1t was openly stated this evening that
Mr. Platt was in receipt of a dispatch
from Governor Morton which states in
effect that so far as the Vice-Presl-
dency was concerned he was in the
hands of his friends, but in which he
failed to declare in SO many words
what action he would take if the con-
ve-ntion should nominate him.
Information reached the United Press
this evening that some of Mr.. Morton
friends who have been working up an
interest in his behalf to-day cabled Mrs.
Morton, who is in Europe, to use her
influence with the Governor to accept
the second place. Her reply received at
a late hour this afternoon contained
an emphatic~negative, the substance of
the dispatch being that she wishes him
TO have the first place or none.
The New York Mckinley men, with
view to forestalling any favorable
action that the convention might take
respecting Mr.. Morton and the Vice
Presidency, drew up a paper which was
circulated tonight for signatures. 1t
does not mention Governor Morton by
name, but it protests against the fac
tiCnal quarrels of New York being car
ried into the convention, and condemns
the unwisdom of selecting the Vice
President from New York
But an apparent quietude was put
upon all this gossip tonight by Mr.. De-
pew, who, as Governor Morton's spon-
sor, would have been placed in a most
embarrassing positicU if he had been
called upon to waste his eloquent ora
tory in placing Mr.. Morton in nomina-
ton for one high Office, while the Gov
ernor's alleged friends were actively
pushing him for another office of lesser
dignity. Mr.. Depew telegraphed Gov
elnor Morton stating it had been as
serted that he had rescinded his tele-
gram of declination, and was now will
ing to accept second place, and ask
ing him If this was so. To this Mr.. De-
pew received the following explicit re-

AS commentary upon this dispatch.
Mr.Depew repeated the remark he made
TO United Press reporter this morn
ing, when the rumors about Morton's s
Nsce-Presidential aspirations were
brought to his attention. How often
must man say thing before he is
TO be believed? Must he say it every
cay, and keep on saying it indefinite
ly?"
The record-union., 1896-06-17

To these inquiries an equally frank
reply was made They had no assur-
once from Governor Morton that ne
would accept, but they were so satislieo =
