There were present yesterday Messrs.
Robert Davis, W. D. Daily, w. B. Gourley,
James J. Murphy and Geo. Pfeiffer, of
Camden, who has been making the rail-
road arrangemnt for transportation OF
the delegates.
Mr.. Robert Davis was requested to be
chairman of the delegation, but he de-
clined and Congressman William D. Daily
will be the man. Mr.. William B. Gourley,
chairman of the State Democratic Com
mittee is a strong candidate for National
Committeeman, and it looks as if he
would secure that honor. Senator john

Committeeman, yet his friends meal to

Mayor Hoos, one of the delegates from

interesting trip.
congressman W. Il. lay tliO uhoJ VI
colleague, is enthusiastic about the ap-
preaching convention. He is as positive
that Bryan is going to be nominated and
subsequently elected as he is the sun will
rise and set tomorrow. He is very quiet
about his own aspiration and laughs
heartily at the gossip of some of his
friends that in the event of Brayn's cleo
tion he will be Attorney General in the
new cabinet.
"Strong candidate, strong man." re-
marked Mr. Daily talking of Bryan and
you are going to Sc how rapidly all our
friends who deserted US last time will
stick to us this Wherever go I find
harmony. There is no need to split on the
metallic question for it is generally con-
ceded that that is not the issue. There
are other more pregnant matters to set
tie with our Republican friends. Victory
to US is assured"
Police Justice j. J. Murphy will go with
the party as alternate.
