NEW YORK, July 22.-SpeciaL-Ihe
Tammany men are much crestfallen since
the meeting OF the National Democratic
Committee in Chicago, and have pretty
wen made up their minds, so it IS SAID
that they will not be able to deieat
Rrvan for the nomination. Tammany
attitude is thus summed up by one Oh
the local papers:
Brvan's denomination IS regarded as
probable, but Tammany Will do eFclS-
thing in its power to prevent it.
Failing I'm that Tammany viii endeaVor
N keep 16 10 l out Of the platform and
get the platform and Bryan's views ton
cd down TO suit Eastern Democrats
whatever happens, Tammany VIII not
holt Tammany has not bolted conNeh-
tions since tho days OF the late Johh
Kelly. and 70 had such n bitter lesson
then that It is not likely 20 try the eN-
pertinent again during this generation,
unless By boiling it sees a chance 10 lead
such formidable revolt as VIII enaole u
10 elect an independent Democratic can
didate President.
SUCH prospect is not held out now even
by the most radical anti-Bryan Demo
ticket and 2 third party.
Even should Tammany be confronted
with Bryan on the old Chicago platform
with a few more radical planks added
sucn as anti-expansion. II will sit quietly
by and take the bitter dose and theh
come home and do about as much Tor
tthe election OF the ticket as it did IN $50
and no moro.
