QUINCY IN LINE FOR BRYAN.
Boston's Ex-Mayor to Take Part In
the Campaign.

BOSTON, Aug 3.-Close friends OF Jo-
siah Quincy say that he will be home in
season for the political campaign and that
he will support the candidacy of William
j. Bryan in such a manner that there can
be no misunderstanding his position. II
the eImayor ues out fat-footed FOR the
cause of free silver 1t will not only sur
prise his Democratic friends who lean to-
ward the gold standard. but will create
some little CONSERVATION in the rank and
file where George Fred Williams has con-
trolled matters for The past four years.
Heretofore Mr.. Quincy has kept his lips
sealed on the question OF free silver. At
the State convention in Worcester in Sep
TENDER 1895. he made firm stand for gold.
He went to Chicago in July. 1896, as an
avowed opponent of free silver and the
entire programme. He and his friends
were overthrow and from the date of
the overthrowing he was silent.
Mr. Quincy's friends declare that he ac-
cepts the candidacy OF Mr. Bryan without
any reservation and that he will do what
he can to aid him in Massachusetts,. They
say that nobody more than Mr.. Quincy
realizes that Mr.. Williams strength in
this Commonwealth with the very people
who gave him control of the State ma
chine is at a low ebb. II the ex-mayor
jumps into the political arena 1t will be
the hottest fight N years for the control
Of the machine.
Naturally Quincy's political subalterns
in Boston are tickled with his attitude.
With him giving orders they will fall over
each other to proclaim their adherence to
the Kansas City platform.

refer to failure to take the stump as sulk-

1t is. in fact, difficult to understand why.
in view of Mr.. Reeds record, the Repub-

take the stump in this campaign. He
would be so Handicapped with his previously
expressed hostility to his party's present

form and the plans of the Administration
n practical qualification. True, he might
avoid mention of subjects upon which he
differed from the Administration and its
platform, but such evasions would merely
emphasize the points of difference and
prove a detriment rather than help.
Perhaps the less Mr. Reed has to do with
this campaign the better it will be for his
party as well as for his reputation for
consistency

The Democratic Union Abnndons II.
Cuban Programme.

HAVANA. Aug. 3.-The Democrats In
ion has decided to abandon its original
idea of working for the election of a Gu
ban advisory board to counsel the inter-
vening Government while interv-r c.n.

the programme of the party owing to the
conviction that American intervention
would last for some years, but the recent
action III the American Government has
shown there Will be no occasion Tor an
advisory board.
This action is also due to the desire of
the party to pave the way for joining the
Republican party. General Wood has de-
cided TO allow minority representation in
the coming elections and the electoral law
wilt be changed accordingly. Possibly some
other small notifications may be made.
The cry increases for a larger number Of
