ARE THEY FOR BRYAN?
From the Philadelphia Tiues Of yesterday.

Fromthe Philadelphia Times Of yesterday
Since the adoption of Bryan and
Bryanism by the Democracy in 1896
Maryland and New York have elected
Democratic State tickets, but they did it
only by openly rejecting the Chicago
platform and separating the party entire
ly from the issues presented by the
Chicago-Bryan convention.
In Delaware, New Jersey and Con-
necticut the Democrats have not yet
learned that Democracy must be honest
to be successful, and the Democrats are
today in no better position than they
were in the disaster of 1896. The wise
political leader looks facts and figures
squarely in the face, and the intelligent
aud dispassioDate Democrat OF today sees
nothing but Democratic desc alton in the
North from eastern to western sea, with
Democracy voiceless in the Gubernatorial
chairs and in the Senate of the United
States as the result of Organism. An
other Democratic national battle with
the Democratic flag over Bryan and
Organism means nothing less than
Democratic annihilatiun. Are the Demo-
Gratis for Bryal?

to. tho Snisa Republican committee q
.eeunteF-prcposition, enbod , ing the basis
ON which the Regular Republicans will
treat With the Unionists for harmonious
action.
One Regular Republican leader states
that the rules of the party stand between
the State committee and harmony under
the Union plan. The proposition pro-
vides for rpnresentation in the State
convention different from that now al.
leted the Regular Republicans by the
party rules. The Regulars say rules can.
not be altered or amended except in Q

BRYAN COMING AGAIN.

Should William Jennings Bryan be
nominated for President, he will prob
bly, visit Delaware in the fall campaign.
He was greatly pleased with his recep-
tion last Friday, both from members Of
the Democratic party and people in Sc i
e al, He is particularly anxious to Vi it
Ie Democra 8 of lower Kent and Sus
counties, and if he should be his
p ty's nominee for President, there is
@ ,ud reason to anticipate that he will
visit Delaware during the campaign and
sperk in all three counties.
In the event of lis visit one of the
points where he will surely speak is
Milford. While here, he was fully in
formed by L Irving Handy OF the desire
OF the Milford people to have him, and

M'KINLEY'S RUNNING MATE.
From the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.

From the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.
Uulted States Senator Stephen B.
Elkins, of West Virginia, is the latest
sugges ed candidate for Vice President
en- the Republican National tick,t 1t is
due to Philadelphia Influence that this
candidacy has been brought about.
The visit of the members of the com
mittee ON Nava! Affairs of Congress to
Philadelphia has resulted in somewhat
lively boom for Mr.. Elkins. Senator
Elkins' name has been more or less dis
cussed in Washington and in his own
State in this Connection, but judging
from opinions expressed by the visiting
Congressman there is something m, re
substantial back OF this gossip than are
merely complimentary illusions.
There WAS no hesitation on the part Of
several Of the Naval Committeeman in
boosting" Senator Elkins, and Phila-
delphians to whom they talked were i'm
pressed shat there was business. like
spirit in the Elkins candidacy. The del
egstion OF Philadelphisns who went
down TO Washington TO bring the Con-
gressmen to this city were surprised at
the extent of the Elkins talk, and were
assured by Congressman Dayton that he
would come to Philadelphia this week
and learn the sentiment in Pennsylvania
and turn ID, il possible, in the direction
ef the West Virginia Senator.
The general result is that Elkins'
name is widely discussed by the local
Republicans ss Vice Presidential cam
didate today, aud the idea has been
thrown out that his nomination would
be acceptable TO Mckinley. Al the Five
O'clock Club dinner on Saturday even
ing one of the CIngressionsl guests was
asked il the fact that Mckinley and Elk
ins came from adjoining States would
not initiate: against the latters
chances.
"Not bit of it," he replied. "Geo.
graphical considerations are not by any
means tie essentials they once were. If
the President wants Senator Elkins ae
his running mate, geographical location
will not count for much. Besides, there
could hardly be any more objection to
OHIO and West Virginia than to Ohio
and New York or New Jersey in dis
tributing the ticket"
It is stated that Senator Elkins and
his friends are much encouraged by rea-
son OF the differences in New York
through the clashing interests OF Vice
Presidential candidates in that State. 1,
10 believed here that determined effort
will be made to give the boom a firm
foothold in Pennsylvania.
