BRYAN TO ATTEND CONVENTION
The Programme to Nominate Him To
day-He is to be Present Tomorrow.

Kansas City, July 3.-Unless plans
perfected tonight are upset. Mr.. Bryan
will attend the democratic national
convention after his nomination if he
is put in the field early enough to rem
der it practicable for him to do so. A
formal invitation has been extended to
him and he has said that he would ac-
Cept.
This fact was brought out IN the af-
ternoOn meeting of the national lem
ocratic committee to W the nomlna-
ton for the presidency made tomorrow
if possible. The desire on the part of
the members to accomplish this end
was developed at the close Of the seS-
sion and il was brought TO the sur
face by an invitation to the commit
tee from the citizens of Kansas Clty
to take a tally-ho ride tomorrow even
ing. This invitation was axte lded by
Stone. of Missouri. When
it was presented Mr.. Clayton took the
floor in opposition to its acceptance,
saying that there was a we'll define ana
general wish that Mr.. Bryan should De
placed in nomination On the 4 of July,
making a fitting democratic celebration
of the national anniversary
Senator Kenney Spoke in the same
strain and Senator Jones descended
from the platform to add his voice in
support o fthe proposition. All agreed
tina such a would aQO
spirit to the occasion and give h ticket
a send off as it would not otherwise
receive. The members of the commit
tee generally supported the PROPOSE
ton and as a consequence the invita-
tion of the Kansas City people was de-
clined.
PROGRAMME OF THE CONVEN-
TION.
The discussion developed some points
of the programme of h committee.
They will have a day and night ses-
sion. Tt is their purpose to have the
usual committees appointed as early

vening of the convention n to then
have them get together immediately

Bryan's nomination before the ad1ourh
ment of the night session.

the prospective candidate and an invi-
tation extended to him to visit the con-
vention on Thursday and it is stated
upon excellent authority that he has
indicated that ne will accept.
DELEGATION GOSSIP.
I'm our opinion" said J. J. Spalding
of Georgia, on the arrival OF the dele
cation from that state today, the pro-
per thing for the convention TO do Is
to reaffrm the silver plank Of the Chi
cago platform. There are a great many
good democrats in the east who viii not
give the ticket full support IL the silver
plank is made too strong and there
should be some concession made to
them to win out in November. What
ever Mr.. Bryan wants will suit US,
but we are willing that the matter
should be administered mildly,
FLORIDA.
The Florida delegation held a caucus
today. 1t was decided to instruct it's
committee to work for the re-afdrma-
ton Of the Chicago platform n
against the insertion Of a specific plank
calling for the ratio Of 16 to 1.
ARKANSAS.
The Arkansas delegation shows over
whelming sentiment for a specific dec
laration in favor Of free coinage. Sem
ator Jones favored this course The
question Of vice presidency was not
discussed. Many of the members ir
formally, however expressed prefer
ence for David B. Hill.
ALABAMA.
The state of Alabama held it's caucus
this afternoon and after a lively fight
yer the candidates for the committee
on resolutions, elected John w. Tom
linsOn, who represents the Bryan fol-
lowing which is anxious for a specific
plank to the platform calling for 16 to

OHIO.
The Ohio delegation spent two hours
today in debate over the resolutions &c
be adopted in regard to the national
platform, the line between the advo-
Gates of a 16 to 1 plank and those IA
vOring the simple re-affirmation of the
Chicago platform being sharply defin-
ed. A contest took place over the cleo
ton of national committeeman, John r
Mclean being finally chosen v

THE FOE.

And defies us to send him away
He's a foe to the church
He's a foe to the home
For he works against both all he
can
His work it destroys
The sweetest of joys
Belonging to woman or man.
He is on the highway
To look for his prey
Like the spider that seeks for the
fly
He leads to his den
Both boys and men
That driak of his drugs till they
die.
He leads to his place
The boy on whose face
The kiss of a mother doth dwell
They lead him to think
No harm in a drink
Thus starting him downward to
hell.
His altars are built
And on them are split
The life blood by poor drunkards
shed .
Sixty thousand each year
On these affairs appear
Then take their place with the
dead.
But it is his rule
To look to the school
For sixty thousand recruits.
Sixty thousand bright boys
Each year he decoys
And sinks them lower than
brutes.
Oh boys stop now,
Enter into this VOW
| I'll never GO in a saloon
Though you 60 by the door
Go in never more
You cannot resolve this toe
These altars erected
By law are protected
The people permit them to stand
For some men who pray
Will stand up and say
That they are a help in the land
They say this because
That high license laws
Brings blood money into the till
They think it so funny
To rake in the money
Paid for a license to kill.
They may yet see the day
When their heads have turned
gray
That licenses will bring them no
joy
When down in disgrace
A dead drunkard's place
Is filled by their own dear boy,
Oh! christian, dear christian,
How can you pray
For Gods precious kingdom to
come
When in the election
You vote for protection
Given by license to rum.
Please vote as you pray
And vote the right way
Oh vote not to license a crime
Your vote may help save
Or help dig a grave
Oh, which shall it be the next
time?
Let us talk, vote and pray
Along the right way,
Then victory will follow, | know,
Let this century pass out
With a glad, happy shout

Yellowstone Park Fire.

Helena, Mont, Aug. THE big fire
that is raging in Yellowstone national
park is being fought by every soldier in
the park and all the men engaged in
road construction work. Deputy United
States Marshal Jackson, who has return
ed from there and who reported the fire,
said that when he left it was reported
that the fire had extended for distarce
of ten miles and was still spreading.
Men who have been in the park for years
said it was the worst they had ever seen.
Deer and elk have been driven out Of
the fire area by the flames. Buildings
in the upper geyser basin are in danger.
In the dense timber region everything is
unusually dry and winds are carrying
the flames with great rapidity. In
Marshal Sam Jackson's opinion it will
be impossible for the force engaged to
make any headway against the fire. The
forest fire started in the park Friday is
now under control of the soldiers, A
heavy rain and hailstorm stayed the
progress Of the fire, which is now con-
fined to the Shoshone lake region.
