The story could not. however be traced

sULZER is RUNNING,
Mr.. sulzer of New York, one Of the
few ayowed candidates, staunchly
backed by strong friends, is making

TOWNE MEN CONFIDENT.
The Towne managers say very EN-
today that their man win
win the vice presidential sweepstakes.
They have reached a point where they
offer the Democrats certain terms and
insist upon being heard, Their program
Is this:
The men authorized to speak for the
populsts and Silver Republicans viii
agree with Democratic managers that
both conventions shall go ahead and
nominate Bryan on the first day, July
4 but that no effort shall be made to
nominate a vice presidential candidate.
Committees Of conference shall be APP

Democrats and Populists. Some Of the
Democratic leaders have agreed that
his is fair proposition and have as
iured the Towne managers that they
Will do what they can to carry II out.
NO DOUBLE-TAILED TICKET.
Another card the Towne men are
playing Is that Bryan is for the Min
nesota man. The position said 20 be
taken by Mr.. Bryan Is that the Demo-
Gratis are in honor bound TO treat the
allies Of 1896 fairly and with due con-
iideration. He thinks that the Popu-
lists and Silver Republicans hold the
balance Of power In several States and
when united with the Democrats make
hose States sure for the allied forceS
Bryan does not want a double-tailed
ticket in this campaign, and many Of
he leaders share his wishes. There is
/ possibility that the Populists and
Silver Republicans may object to with |
lrawing the man they have nominated. !
So the Towne men think they are In |
very good position Another thing !
which makes the Towne men so conf |
