Bryan in New EorIS.-Preparations
! for the reception and entertainment of
Mr.. Bryan on his forthcoming visit to
New York are being made on the most
extensive scale. All the money Leeded
for the candidates proper treatment viii
be provided by Tammany. though every
local faction of the party will be repre-
sented in the various committees II is
confidently expected that the meeting at
Madison Square Garden will be the
greatest in point OF attendance and the
most notable in point of enthusiasm OF
any political event Of recent times in the
metropolis. The Tammanyites can be de-
pended upon TO get out crowd that will
exceed even the tremendous assemoIage
that greeted Mr.. Bryan four years ago
when he delivered his speech of accept
ance at Madison Square. Mr. Bryan will
arrive In New York on TIE evening of Oc-
tober 10. On the night of the 18TH he will

ing the city that night, he will speak the
next day at Syracuse and Rochester. On
the following day he viii be in Buffalo
and will deliver at least two ard maybe
three. speeches in that city He VIII
make short speeches from the rear plat
form Of his car at various points along
his route. It is probable that he may be
induced 10 so re-arrange his itinerary as
to be able 10 put in a full week in New
York State instead of The three
days now planned, If he can do
so announcement 10 this effect will be
made in day or two Ex-Governor Stone
OF Missouri who is managing the Eastern
campaign, left his headquarters in Ney7
York last night to meet Mr.. Bryan in Chi
cago tomorrow and discuss with him there
new programme for the remainder of the
campaign 1t IS understood that Gofernor
Stone viii urge upon Mr.. Bryan tl4t ad-
visibility of giving more personal atteu-
tion to the fight in the East than the can
didate has planned to give. and that as a
result Of the representations which the
MissouTiae VIII make 10 him Mr. Bryan
will devote much time 10 New York New
Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, and West Vir-
ginia- 1t is also thought that he will put
in the last week OF the campaign in Ohio.
as the most favorable reports concerning
that State have been made 10 rational

Slated by Tamniany--It can be posi-
lively stated that Croker has placed
upon the Tammaay Congressional slate
the names of three of the richest young |
men in New York. These are O. H. P.
Belmont Harry Payne Whitney. and !
William Astor Chanler That each of |
the trio is extremely anxious to come |
to Congress is attested by their very |
great interest and activity in the cam |
paign. II is said that young Mr.. Whit /
neys father the ex-Secretary of the |
Navy, does not approve OF his IS ms am |
5ition. though he IS not inclined to as !
sert his right TO keep him out CT politics /
if the young man insists upon entering
tnat ailIring field. 1t turns out that
young Whitney and not Belmont is
slated for the seat now held by the Hon !
jefferson VI. Levy. Mr.. Belmont will BE-
given the nomination IN the Ninth dis
,rict. whose present representative, the
Hon. Thomas J. Bradley, will be taken
care of by Tammany in some other ca
pacity. Mr.. Chanler Will be renominated
without opposition in the Fcurte eHth
district, though it is said in New York
that he viii have a much harder race
than will either Belmont or Whitney
The Fourteenth district is a great deal
too close 10 be considered safe, and M
Chanler Will have Z fight which will
test his capacity as q cam
paigner. AT the present time it is
thought there will be no other changes
made in the Tammany delegation A fev
weeks ago it was believed that Croker |
had put the name of the Hon Amos ]
Cummings in his doom book but it ap-
pears that Mr.. Cummings has brought |
sufficient pressure TO bear upon the
Tammany chieftian to induce him to put
his name again upon the Congressional |
slate.
