NOT FAVO RABLE TO DEWEY.
Leading Kentucky Democrat Pins
His Faith Entirely to
Bryan.

LOUISVILLE. Ky, April 1.-Mr, w. H..
Haldeman, OF the Courier-Journal. who in
1856 was ono Of the most prominent lead
ers OF the National Democratic movement,
and represented Kentucky on the national
committee. today said of the announce
ment OF the candidacy OF Dewey for the
presidency;
In my opinion the Dewey candidacy is
an overnight affair and | do not be-
iieve at this late day the admiral, con-
spicuous though his naval achievements
be, will be abe to figure prominently in
the race for the presidency ! feel quite
sure that the Democrats will not take him
up. Mr.. Bryan is as good as nominated.
The party is soidly for him In my belief
porting him this fall. Mr.. Bryan Is more
than an able politician. He IL an honest
politician. His hold upon the Democracy
Of the country is secure. do not see
how Admiral Dewey or any other man
can hope to compete with him for the
Democratic nomination"

The EXPOSITION has made its entry and IN a
very large proportion OF them are Ameri-

sees cabs flying about the boulevards
loaded with Saratoga trunks. while the
familiar American accent is heard in res
taurants and other places Of popular re-
sort.
Rents Are Doubled.
The hotels are already filling up and
the prices of everything are rising In
fact, these FIRST arrivals form a sort of a
toriorn hope on whom the hotel and shop
keepers are experimenting with Increased
charges. Not only the visitors, but per-
manert residents are beginning 10 feel
the burden of the advanced rates. which
most of the hotels have so raised that the
regular guests are obliged either to leave
or accept other accommodations. Those
who are unfortunate enough 10 have only
monthly leases on their apartments have
been notified that their rents will be
doubled for six months after the opening
of the exposition. The cab drivers have
an eye on greater wealth and are trying
TO arrange with the government for In
BustIe and Confusion.
At the exposition itself everything Is
hustle and confusion. Heavy draft teams
line the streets adjoining the exposition
buildings waiting to deposit their loads
of exhibits The American exhibitors are
finding themselves seriously handicapped
in preparing for the installation, owing
TO the unexpected congestion on the rail-
ways between Havre and Paris and also
on the tracks within the exposition
grounds. There is a continual struggle be-
tween representatives OF every nation 10
get cars In the grounds, but the French
people hold the key to the situation and
take good care that their own cars are
taken to their exhibit space and unload,
other nations Russia and Belgium are
the only countries favored.

Fiddle-Pops to Demand that Demo-

atDoor Of Democracy

AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 2s.-The Pop
ullsts Of Texas publicly announce that
w. j. Bryan will accept the nomlna-
tion of that party for President II It ID
rendered him. The following circular
letter, outlining the plan of action foE
the coming campaign, was to-day Is
sued by Chairman j. H. Foster. who
claims to secure his information and
the propositions outlined direct from
the national headquarters. The circu-
lar letter IS addressed to oil county
chalrmen, and reads as follows:
Dear slc-You are no doubt aware
Of the fact that IL the Bryan DemOc-
racy. when they meet in naticral con-
vention, reamrm the Chicago platform
OF 1895. with direct legislation plank
as an issue, and 1t seems probable that
they will, and nominate W. ]. Bryan
and some irreproachable southern man,
that such action will be the death OF
our party. Should the Democracy do
this It will be only a repetition Of their
policy and plans. and like the advocacy
OF IS to /. be short-lived. In view Of
such action on the part of this new
born Democracy, 1t is the duty Of every
Popullst who loves the principles he adj
vocates to lend his aid to thwart the
destruction of'his party.
"A plan has been suggested and Is
being discussed all over the nation. The
details Of this plan are In part:
THAT when our national convention
assemblies that 1t reaffirm the Omaha
platform, with direct legislation as the
paramount issue. nominate W. j.
Bryan (and the assurance has been
given by MIR. Bryan's friends that he
Will accept the nomination., and some
southern Populist-thst the free sill
yer Republicans will lndorse the plDt-
form and its candldates-that Mr.
Bryan's friends will go before the ma
tlonal Democratic convention with a
demand for the endorsement of the ac-
tIon OF the Popullst convention, and 1t
is argued that they wiz not refuse, In
the event that they do 50, Air. Bryan
may refuse the nomination Of the
hands OF the Democracy. This action
of itself win, by the Democrats signal
ize their utter defeat, and also that of
the Popullsts. but defeat will lay at
the door OF the Democrats"
