Lincoln. Neb., July S.-If William
Jennings Bryan intends going to Kan
sas City to make a speech to the dele
gates to the national convention, either
before or after it concludes. he will
not say so. Mr.. Bryan was asked what
would be his answer if, just before ad-
Journment, the convention should ask
him to visit Kansas City and address
the crowds. He said he did not wish
10 discuss the subject, that it would be
manifestly improper for him to antici-
pate Tonight, when notified that the
national committee had invited him to
Kansas City and that he would accept,
Mr.. Bryan replied promptly and en-
phatically:
Il don't know a thing about it, He
said it was inexplicable how such a re-
port had started. Il certainly have re-
ceived no invitation from the national
committee, and 1 know l have not &C
cepted one" he said.
Mr.. Bryan added that ne had talked
with many gentlemen in Kansas City
during the day and tonight over the
long-diStance telephone, and not ore of
them had mentioned the fact that he
had been invited to speak to the con-
vention. Nevertheless, il is believed in
Lincoln that Mr.. Bryan viii be pre-
vailed upon to go, but it win be III the

Is WON BY CLARK

Kansas City, July 3.-The national
Democratic committee today disposed
of the business before it with alacrity.
The contests were first decided. and of
these the Montana case was the first
to be taken up. The report of the sub
committee was favorable to Clark and
this report was adopted without delay.
The temporary craftsmanship was de-
cide7 in favor of Governor Thomas of
Co do.
II report of the subcommittee in
the Montana case was not entirely
harmonious. one of its members stand
ing out against Clark. This position
was occupied by Mr. Williams. chair
man of the subcommittee. He yielded
gracefully, however, and then Joined
his colleagues in recommending that
the names of the Clark men be placed
upon the temporary roll. This decision
was based upon the belief on the part
of the members that the convention
which selected the Clark delegates con-
tanned a majority of the uncontested
delegates.
The DAILY men announced their de-
termination to make a vigorous fight
before the committee on credentials.
The Oklahoma contest was settled in
ldNOL VI II6 OdCODO ldEltOU III ODDOSl-
ton to the Sipes faction. The Jacobs
people were considered by the COM
mittee to have been most regular in
their proceedings.
In the case of the Indian territory
the decision was favorable to the Mar
cum faction. also on the ground of reg
ularity. Mr.. Marcum is the present
member of the national committee and
the fight was principally upon him.
The battle over the temporary chair
manship was short but sharp. The
only two candidates for the Office We're
Governor c. S. Thomas Of Colorado
and Mayor D. s. Rose of Milwaukee
Both were placed in nomination with
eulogistic speeches. Senator Kenney
of Delaware and Committeeman Clan
cey of Wisconsin spoke for Mr. Rose,
and Committeeman Wilson of ColOra-
do and Clayton of Alabama for Mr.
Thomas. The vote proceeded very
evenly until toward the close. when
Mr.. Thomas made a Slight gain which
he held to the end, coming out with a
majority of two. The total vote was
forty-six, of which Thomas received
twenty-fsour and Rose twenty-five.

| ing that the specific declaration would
be made
There was a very spirited talk over
the vice presidency. in which all par
! ticipated more or less. Mr.. CLAYTON of
Alabama held out strenuously for a
Democrat, "a man who had the Dem
ocratic brand upon him" He said that
Mr.. Bryan himself represented suffi-
GENTLY a PopUlistic or northwestern
idea, and he thought no concession
should be made in the vice presiden-
tlal nomination. He added that he
meant no reflection upon Mr.. Bryan
but only intended to say that the tick
ct should not require to be strength
ened in that direction.
TONNES Friends Speak.
Senator Pettigrew and others of the
conference.-the cOnferees replied tart
ly to this speech. Former Senator Du-
bois asserted sarcastically that the
Democrats were raiding the earth 10
find man to beat Bryan.
IF that speech was made in Dako-
TIA" said Mr.. Pettigrew, referring to
Mr.. Clayton's remarks. 'it would mean
loss of 5000 votes to the ticket" He
proceeded to say that if the Populists
had not unselfishly aided the Demo-
Gratis in 1896. the latter would have
been overwhelmed, and he added that
If their aid was not secured in 1900
there would be a still greater disaster.
Senator Tiliman of South Carolina.
also made a speech in favor of Towne.
saying that he would add strength to
the ticket where votes were needed
and that it was time TO have done with
the nonsense that a man had to be
branded before he could be accepted.
He said the silver Republicans had
left the feast of their own party when
the table was spread. and added that
he believed that the Democrats owed
them every consideration.
Any Man Suits Croker.
Mr.. Croker said he had no candidate
for the vice presidency-Jhat he did
not consider that. the concession of this
position to New York would insure the
state. Il have in mind a good man
for the place" he said. ''but l do not
see that it is necessary to name him.
Almost any man will do for the vice
presidency" He thought it might he
better if the west would yield on this
point but if it did not do so he would
still q satisfied.
Senator Jones cOntented himself with
stating the objections he had heard
urged to going outside of the party
for nominee. but did not express any
opposition to Mr. Bryan.
Mr.. SeWall of Maine, Mr.. Bryan S
former running mate, expressed him
self as favorable TO Mr.. Towne's nom
ination-
1t was generally agreed that the
trend of opinion among Democrats as
developed in the conference was an
tagonistic to Mr.. Towne. but no senti-
ment was developed in favor of any
individual Democrat for the place. An
other conference was agreed uDon for
Thursday morning. after the first ses-
sion of the convention. All parties are
expected 10 appoint committees for
this meeting, thus making il official.

4 think that there was some friction
between the leaders Of the party over the
matter of the vice presidency at hrst,
said he. There is no doubt that Senator
Hanna was against the nomination of
Governor Roosevelt for vice president and
that Senator Plat wanted him nominated
Roosevelt himself was sincere in his 90
lection He thought that he could do the
party more good by running for governor
of New York again, and that this would
accomplish more toward the election OF
Mr.. Mckinley, but when he saw the over
whelming sentiment OF the delegates for
him he finally gave way, as did Senator
Hanna
Governor Roosevelt no doubt has am
billions 10 be president, and he thought
that to be reelected. governor OF New
York would place him nearer in line than
to be elected vice president
In speaking OF the story that was sent
out that he had contributed $4,000 to the
national campaign fund. he said that he
had already denied the story. and that
the New York Sun. in which il had first
appeared, had corrected the statement.
