LEADERS OF THREE PARTIES
HOLD IMPORTANT CONFERENCE

Kansas City. July "A conference of
the three political parties was held at
the Kansas City club today. There was
Jones of Arkansas, TillmaU of South
Carolina. Croker of New York, Johnson
of Kansas; from the Populists there
were Edmiston of Nebraska, Weaver of
Iowa, Pettigrew of South Dakota, AL
len of Nebraska and Heitfeld of Idaho.
and of the silver Republicans there
were Teller of Colorado. Dubois of Ida
no. Newlands of Nevada. There were
other representatives of the different
parties present
The object of the meeting was to
form the basis Of an agreement between
the three allied parties as to a vice
presidential candidate.
The conference settled, as definitely
as II is possible for a few representa-
tive men to settle anything in advance.
that the platform should contain q
positive and specific declaration for
free coinage at Is to ], but there was
no equally positive development in the
settlement of the vice presidential sit
uation. The meeting lasted from II
o'clock to las and was marked by great
earnestnesS. The entire exchange of
views was upon the two questions of
the financial plank of the platform and
the selection of a man for second place
oil the ticket, the latter question re-
ceiving the greatest share of attention.
The silver Republicans and Populists
were quite agreed in pressing the can
didacy of Mr.. TOwne and also in urg-
ing the necessity for a positive declara-
he 6
Gratis placed themselves in the attitude
of men whom it was necessary to win
oyer. All proved S0Od listeners.
On the question of platform Mr. John
son (Dem) Of Kansas made the only
notable declaration He said that he
was willing to accept positive deClara-
ton for the historic ratio if il was in
sisted upon. bat that he thought it
would be good politics to leave it out.
He thought that with this omission
more of the Germans would vote the
ticket. Others. including Mr.. Croker.
said they were also willing that the de-
claration should be made specific.
Richard Cookers Views.
Mr.. Croker expressed the opinion that
the New York Democrats would vote
for Bryan, regardless of the platform
declaration. Asked if he cor sidered
that there was any chance of carry
ing New York with any platform, he
replied that there was no certainty:
that the probabilities We're in the oppo-
ste direction, but that it was impossi-
ble to say at this date what effect the
injection Of the new issues of the past
few years would have upon the result.
There was really TO dissenting opin-
ion that the IS to 1 declaration should
be made Delegates finally expressed
the opinion that a month ago the de-
ciaratiOn was not necessary. but they
assented TO the demand that the pop
ular clamOT now makes it necessary.
All agreed after the conference in say

Kansas City, Mo, July 3.-On the
evening before the national Democratic
convention the ce-presidential nomi-
nation is still unsettled. 1t is a usual
expression in a contest like this, when
there are many candidates and no one
has majority. to say that it is ''any-
bodys plum" But it more appro-
prlately expresses the situation to say
that IL Is nobody's plum.
The chief development of the day
was the paralysis to a certain extent
OF several booms The morning opened
with great confidence on the part of
the friends of Mr.. TOwne. The fore
gone conclusion that sixteen to one
was TO be specifically mentioned in the
platform and the disappointment of
those who advocated a different course,
made It look for a time as If Bryan.
sixteen to one, and Towne were to be
the three distinct features of the Kan
sas City convention. The manner in
which the TOwne boom seemed to grow
aroused those delegates who want a
straightOut Democrat for second place,
and who object to being accused of
swallowing the Populist ticket and
platform
1t was this feeling that turned at
tentiOn to Elliott DanfOrth of New
York. and for a time il seemed that
the east and south combined might
name the New Yorker. And while the
action of the New York delegation in
defeating Danforth and putting VI
Keilar seemed to make Danforth's Sc
lection improbable. the tide that set
toward DanfOrth during the day served
to show that the mass of delegates
was not for Towne Another thing
that New York has indicated pretty
surely is that the state does not want a
ce-presidential candidate. at least
the declaration of the majority. under
the control of Croker, for Kellar is
not considered in a serious light at all
In this same connection it may be said
that the Sulzer candidacy also Suf-
fered somewhat, as Sulzer supported
the nomination Of Kellar, a peculiar po-
sition for an avowed candidate OF
course this act is an evidence o. the
discipline of Tammany hall, but i
also confirms the suppression among
outside delegates that Suffers candi.
dacy is not serious.
ILLINOIS FOR STEVENSON.
Late in the evening. after the actor
OF the New York delegation became
known, the announcement was Eaadt
that Illinois was to place Adiaf +
Stevenson in nomination, ard cute {
little boom was started for him BY
some OF the delegates. Among those
who talked earnestly for Stevenson was
Henry d. Clayton of Alabama, who
made the principal speech ci;Dosins

He said Stevenson had once beer

against a specific sixteen to one decla-
ration, which is supposed to be Mr..
Bryan's sine qua non. The movement
took form early in the day among
some of the most influential men of
the party. not through any spirit of
opposition to Mr.. Bryan. but because
they believed the overwhelming sense
of the delegates was favorable TO a.

COL. BRYAN'S FOURTH
OF JULY SENTIMENT

Mr.. Bryan this evening gave out the
following as a political sentiment for the
Fourth of July:
The campaign of 1896 brought out the
greatest discussion of an economic sub
ject this country had seen for a genera
ton The campaign of 1900 will invoke
not only economic questions. bat political
questions reaching down to the funda-
mental principles OF government. In
1896 We were discussing the wrongs on
man; this year we shall biscuit not only
the wrongs. but the rights OF men.

sion. It is their purpose 10 have the

and II possible report and have the con-
Vention act upon the reports before ad-
JouTning in the afternoon. Failing to
secure action in the afternoon, they
hope to get the committee reports dis
posed of early in the evening and still
accomplish Mr.. Bryan's nomination be-
fore the adjournment CT the night ses-
sion.
The managers appreciate that there
may be many obstacles in the way of
carrying out this program, but they are
quite determined to find a way to do it,
and they express confidence that the
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1900-07-04

members of the convention will all
lend a helping hand to this end
The discussion also developed the
fact that Mr.. Bryan is expected 10 be
present at the convention on Thursday,
the day after his nomination, and in
dictate TO the convention his acceptance
of the honor conferred. An intimation
of the committees purpose to secure
action tomorrow has beer conveyed 70
the prospective candidate and an inVi-
tatiOn extended 20 him TO visit the con-
ventiOn on Thursday and it is stated
upon excellent authority that ne has
indicated that he viii accept.
The members OF the committee ex-
press themselves generally as of the
opinion that the programme can be car
ried out, and those who know Of the
invitation to Mr.. Bryan do not hesitate
to say that he will certainly accept.

for the purpose of comforting with the
Democrats on the subject of the vice

One member of the committee SAID
Towne would be kept in the field if he
was not nominated by the Democrats
but another member declared that
Towne would not ambaTass the cardi-
dacy of Bryan by doubl9tailt'l ticket.

was a man for whom the god Dom

probably vote for again.
It was also said that MASSACHUSETTS,
would vote for George Fred Wil;ams
on the early ballot, S,nd tEat there was
a prospect of general "faVorit" son
movement until the convention would
settle on some one acceptable TO ma
jority.
MIR. Croker told the three-party con-
ference that he had a candidate and
that ne would bring him out during the
| day. 1t was soon known that he re-
ferred to Louis Nixon of New York,
who was at one time a constructor in
the navy and is now largely interested
in ship building. 1t was supposed that
Nixon would b. presented during the
meeting of the New York delegation,

field, and his friends say that as each

Far more interesting than the formal
business of the day has been the grow

form and the vice-presidential candi-

the situation is the sudden shift of
