800 ' ST. PAUL, Nov. q, 1899.
All reports from the Chicago meet ng
of the executive committee of the
National Democratic committee, agree
that the outlook is encouraging for an
efficient national campaign and conse-
quent success next year. .:,.I4
| Mr.. T. D. O. Brien, the Minnesota
member, gave an interesting summary
for our daily press. Senator James K.
Jones, national chairman, was present
at the meeting. and his friends through
out the country rejoice at his recovery.
The business in the senator's absen CO
abroad has been in able hands those of
Hon. J. G. Johnson of Kansas and Hon.
Sam B. Cook of Missouri. These have
proceeded on lines agreeable to
Senator Jones and the party's
other great advisers, and en-
cQuraging results are being &C.
complished, both as to raising means
and as to acttfal work in the field. All
factions have, Mr.. OBrien says, disa2-
peared, which is specially pleasing. con-
sidering the friction that has existed in
Illinois. The party will enter on the
campaign of 1900 very much better
equipped than it was in 1896. Mr..
O'Brien emphasized the attention
turned towards the Central. Westtrl
and Northwestern states, and that Min
nesota is looked to for important re-
suits next year. In ether words the
electoral vote of Minnesota is to be
called for for our great leader, w. J..
Sc 30 e.
that our friends will not be disap-
pointed.
From Mr.. O'Brien. and from State
Chairman -~Rosing, who accompanied
him, every encouragement was received
as to the outlook. Our forces of 1896
are practically as solid as they were
when lined up at the polls. We have
powerful allies for the newer issues, on
which the attitude of Democracy will
be nothing uncertain. There is nowhere
serious suggestion of any candidate
but Bryan, and in all parts of the coun-
try. the South especially, the party is
unified or fast unifying. This also in
cludes New York, with the assurance
that it will be in the Democratic
column.
Senator Jones, national chairman,
has been in Arkansas since his return
from abroad, until the committee meet
Ing, and has now gone to Washington
for the session and to give attention to
the committee work accumulated there.
The principal work, for the time being
at least, will be in the hands Of Messrs.
johnson. and Cook at Chicago.
Speaking of allies, the American
Anti-lmperialist league, is progressing
we'll at the Chicago national headquar-
tiers, which is in change of Chairman
Edwin Burnett Smith and Secretary NJ.
J. Mize.
From Hon. r. w. clearinghouse, sec.
rotary of the Antitrust National
League, Chicago, we learn that prelim-
inaries for the coming conference are
progressing favorably. The call will
soon issue, and is signed by several hun
dred prominent men of all parts of the
country. Minnesota will be represented
on the call by several prominent citi-
zens. ''Toledo" Jones. Anti-Hanna Nc.

"break" in placing Mr.. Bryan in the
