Place of TOwne.

CHICAGO, Aug. 10.-A number of the
leaders of the different parties opposing
the present administration held a confer
ance at Democratic headquarters to-day.
The principal subject of discussion was
the ENHANCEMENT in Idaho and on this a
tentative agreement was reached. Accord
ing to this understanding the Populists
will withdraw their electoral candidates
and return to the original basis of settle
ment agreed on for that State before the
various parties held their conventions. The
agreement was accepted by all present, but
its PRONUNCIATION was postponed until Sena-
tor Heitfeld can be consulted concerning it.
Mr.. Bryan was frequently called into the
conference. Senators Blanchard and Jones
were among the Democrats present. Sena-
tor Dubois represented the Silver Repub-
licans, while Senator Allen OF Nebraska,
j. B. Weaver of Iowa, w. Z. Smith of Illi-
nois, and John w. B%reidenthal of Kansas.
represented the Peoples party.
Mr.. Bryan will make no such extended
speechmaking tour of the country this
campaign as he did four years ago. He
will make a number of speeches, but they
will be all in connection with some special
occasion and not part of a general swing
ing around the circle. That much was
determined during the talks hich Mr..
Bryan had with the members of the execu-
tive committee of the Democratic national
committee to-day and that was all which
was determined. The membership of the
committee was revised so as to give New
York State a representation on it. Com
mitteeman Head, of Tennessee, withdrew,
giving as a reason that he did not have
time to attend to its duties and Norman z.
Mack, national committeeman from New
York, was named in place of Mr.. Head on
the executive committee.
Speaking OF his own plans for the cam
paign, so far as they were determined on
to-day. Mr.. Bryan said: mo regular pro-
gramme of speeches by me will be mapped
out and no special itinerary arranged. l
snail make a few speeches during the cam
paign, the times and dates being announced
from time to time as they are determined
upon. Just now there is no announcement
of any kind to make because no date has
been as yet fixed nor any arrangement
made. When it is settled hat L am to APP
pear at any particular place the announce
ment will be made. Then there will be
nothing further to give out until another
time and place is determined on. Every
speech will be independent of all Others"
Asked IL this was meant to include the
outing of the Irish societies here next
Wednesday and that of the trades unions
on Labor day, Mr.. Bryan said: Yes it is
not yet decided whether / shall appear al
either or both of these occasions"
In response to a question as to his formal
letter of acceptance Of the Democratic
nomination Mr.. Bryan replied: II cannot
say now when that letter will be ready
Ii certainly Is not written yet"
Mr.. Bryan expects to remain here until
Monday, at least, and perhaps longer. Their
he will go to Lincoln.
