CONGRESSMAN BAILEY.

The New York World, of the 18th, pub fishes the following statement rom Hon. Joseph W. Bailey, of Texas, in re- gard to the differences that are said to exist between the leader of the minority in the house and MT. Bryan:
 During the contest over the democratic nomination for the speakership l refused to discuss my relations with MT. Bryan because felt that an explanation at that time might be construed as an eftort 10 influence the result of the caucus, and l preferred to be defeated rather than place myself In the position of explaining my attitude towards any man. But now that the contest is over and my nomlna- ton has been SO extensively advertised as an evidence of a division in our party I am entirely willing to answer your question.
 In the letter which I wrote declining renomina ton for congress, I said; MT. Bryan is not only one of the most bril- liant men in this or any other country, but he is a man of exalted character and sincerely devoted to the welfare of the people," That was my opinion of him, and that is my opinion of him now.
 It is very true that differed with hira upon certain questions, and I frankly said so to my constituents. I have not changed my opinion on those questions, and 1 do not expect to, nor have l ever regretted for a single moment the course which I pursued a the Chicago conven- tion and afterwards.
 But the story that my nomination by the democratic caucus was an anti-Bry- an victory hardly deserves to be digni- fled by a denial The truth is, that many of my warmest friends are ardent sup porters of MT. Bryan and as matters now stand I am certainly cordially in favor of his nomination in 1900.
