from New York City, and one Of the
most prominent in the body. said this
evening that Mr.. Sovereign. beyond a
doubt. would be a candidate for the
nomination for president in 1900. IT
he said, Nj Bryan insists on making
a. fight for the nomination. Mr.. Sow
ereign will not oppose him for the two
are warm friends. IN that event, Mr.
Sovereign will become a candidate for
the nomination for vice president. II
was natural for Mr.. Sovereign to deny
the report as he did rot care for the
capitalists to interfere this early in hiS
canvass and thus greatly injure him
before the fight was fairly on
