to Jump both ways
It was learned yesterday that the short visit
William j. Bryan paid to Mr.. Sheehan at the
~latter's Office on Saturday was not their first
meeting on that day. They met earlier with w.
r. Hearst, and the last call was merely a formal
one.
At the first conference Mr.. Bryan was in.
formed. 1t is said, that the New York organize
tion is friendly to him and is faithful in spirit
to the principles of the Chicago platform. He
was told that an effort was being made to make
free silver and other national issues the issues
in the coming municipal contest, and that, al.
though Mr.. sheehan is q good Bryan man and
a true believer in all the doctrines promulgated
at Chicago. he is fearful that a campaign made
on those issues might prove disastrous to Tam
many Hall.
Mr.. Bryan was adjured not to do or say any
thing publicly which might interfere with the
policy of a local campaign on so-callod local
issues, which Mr.. Sheehan had planned. This
promise, a gentleman who was cognizant Of the
conference and its result says. was given, and
Mr.. Bryan agreed to shunt every reference to
the local situation with = declaration of his be-
lief in local self-government as a cardinal DEM
ocratic principle. He made this declaration q
