Milwaukee, June 23-Col. William
Jennings Bryan while en- route to Chi
cago from his outing trip 10 Wisconsin
stated today that all stories to the
effect that mere had been any differ
ences between himself and Chairman
Jones of the democratic national COM
mittee were absolutely without foun-
dation. He said:
''The Philadelphia platform is the
best evidence, thus far given of the
deception attempted by the republi-
can party. Taken in connection with
the speeches made at the convention,
it shows that the republican party 5
patform of 1896 was a deliberate
fraud as far as promises of interna-
tional bimetallism were concerned.
That party's attitude on the trust lues-
tion is insincere and the party is not
willing to state it's attitude on the
Philippine question and Invite the
judgment of the people. Nothing was
more manifest in the convention than
the military spirit, yet the conventien
did not dare to endorse the demand of
the president in 1898 for a standing
army of 100000 men,"
