No Speeches for Bryan-Ashbel p. Fitch

II became known yesterday that Bourke

day. would not return to this country in time TO
take any active part In the Presidential cam
paign He may even extend his trip to Europe
10 such length that he will not be In this coun-
try to vote. This news will be a great dsap-
pointment TO the friends Of Col Bryan.
for they had expected that MIR. Cock
ran would take an active part In the
campaign and would assist them by
speaking against the Administration. Mr..
Cochran was one Of the most active Gold Demo-
Gratis in 1895 and spoke at the big anti Bryan
massmeeting which was held IN Madison Square
Garden 10 Offset the effect OF the Bryan notif-
cation meeting, Mr., Cochran was active in the
campaign which followed Last spring. how
ever, he announced that his opposition to i'm
perialism" was so strong that he would support
Bryan rather than Mckinley, The Bryanites
were much delig hted and fully expected that no
would make one or more speeches during the
campaign Mr.. Cockran's friends said yester-
day that he would take no part in the cam
paign even If he did return in time. Mr.. Cock
rams attitude Is said to be due 10 the reafflrma-
ton of the 10 to ! threat In the Demo cratic
platform.

comforting themselves by saying TO each OF her
that ex-Comptroller Ashbe p Fitch, the Presi-
dent OF the Trust Company Of America. who
was Comptroller in Mayor Strong's administra-
ton, was going 10 be with them this year. Mr..
Fitch set these stories at rest yesterday. lie
