alr Bryan began by reading letter
t0m John l1uus Brown, which had been
banded 90 Inn on his arrival in the city.
Ih. letter cited the statements concern
o. which they were TO combine their
forces for the purpose Of securing the
organization of the Louisville convention,
4-I asked whether, after over 800 men
were placed iu the convention, Instead Of

party. He also asked whether such q
contract was not fraudulent
Governor Brown further asked whether
q chairman had the right 10 deny an ap-
peal. whether armed police in the con-
yeluon We're not "a menace 20 free gov
Cument; whether Bryan was n favor Of
tho Goebel election law. and, lastly. whe-
ther Bryan had amy plea save that of
political cxpeolency 20 justify submission.

'"'- --. only reathrmed the declara-
