THE KANSAS DELEGATION.
For Mere ReafiirmRtion and Hill for
Second Place.

KANSAS CITY. July 3.-If the twenty
delegates from Kansas could have things
lust as they want them there would be
no specific declaration for 16 to i in the
platform, ard the candidate for Vice Presi-
dent would be David b. HILL DR.. c. w
Brandenbnrg. of Frankfort, Kan, who Is
a delegate -at-large said this morning that
ell OF the delegation wanted Hill if they
could have him and half Of them wanted
him anyway
"'But.' continued Dr. Brandenburg. I'VE
know perfectly well that Mr. Hill will not
be a candidate i had a talk with him
this morning and he said the thing was
entirely out of the question With Mr
Hill out of the field it is a little uncertain
now just how we will cast our vote. We
have the unit rule. but probably We will
not abide by it on the first ballet
''It is likely that one-haif of our votes
will be cast for Towne and the other half
for Carter Harrison. We feel that out
of consideration for the Kansas Silver
Republicans We should give at least a
complimentary vote TO Towne. Towne,
however. is by 10 means the man we want
Our real choice lies between Carter Harri-
son and shiveiey Probably We will cast cur
vote for one of these two. the cne who
shows the most strength at the outset
How about suizer?"
Wei / came here rather favorably
inclined toward Sulzer because he was
New York man and so did a number OF
other delegates. None of US had ever
seen him. Since we got here we have
seen his picture and now none of US want
him.
Then there is George Fred Williams. We
used TO think good deal of him. But
the trouble with him is that he comes out
here now and gays New England demands
of this Convention that it come out with
a fiatfooted declaration for Is to l. What
has New England ever done for silver?
We started this silver boom in Kansas
and we are ready to get along with a mere
reaffirmation of the Chicago platform We
believe in throwing out the olive branch

No. that matter has not yet been taken
up"
News from Kansas City today is that
Bryan insists upon emphasizing silver in
the platform. What effect will that have
upon the campaign
Everybody knows what the effect of
that will be. What is the use OF me talk
ing about II?
Bryan says he will not run unless sill
yer is made an issue
Well l will not discuss the Democratic

The President followed the party TO the

NEW GOLD FIELD AT DAWSON.
Indian River Miners Report a Rich
Strife


St-i.e.
TACOMA, Wash, July 3.-The greatest
strike OF quartz since the discovery OF the
Johannesburg mines was uncovered re-
Gently on Indian River, forty miles south
east OF Dawson. according to advlces rom
that place. dated June H. party OF
twenty-six men arrived in Dawson on
June Is from Indian River, where. they
asserted, vein of goldbearing ore had
been found that was practically unlimited
in area. The formation. according to these
men. cannot properly be called quartz
or placer. although 1t is nearer to. tho
former. in that it will require washing
before it can be worked The time has
been. evidently. when It was a riacer
proposition. but the clay and gravel have
become arl.e,gamated until together they
form a hard. brittle substance. making
what might be termed free-milling ore.
Many samples were brought 20 Dawson
by the party, and while no assay hal been
made when the last boat left for outside.
there were thought to be sufficient evil
dences of gold visible to the naked eye to
bear out the assertion that this was one OF
the richest discoveries of the Kind ever
Hdue Inc territory WHICH tle party re-
corded embraces tract six miles in length.
but the enthusiastic recorders asserted that
there was in the field sufficient ground for
5000 men to acquire claims
Among the lccators are two or three
South African miners. who assert that the
discovery is second to none except .fc Jo-
hannesburg mines. BY water the Few field
is about seventy miles from Dawson. but
across country in a southeast Iircetion il
is only about fifty miles. large number
of men have rushed from Dawson to stake
out claims, and others are leaving night
and day.

IL the one which will be adopted whether
or not Hill or any other advocate makes
the fight.
The feeling of the leaders from Pennsyl-
vsnia, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio
West Virginia, and other States is well eN-
pressed by the action of the West Virginia
delegation today. BY a unanimous vots
the delegation decided there should be no
declaration for free silver on the platform.
ard that even the Chicago platform should
not be reaffirmed.
WHY they did this was explained by Mr..
j. w St Clair. who heads the delegation,
as he sat In ex-senator Hills rooms at Ire
Coates House this afternoon.
Why" he said how can we reaffirm
a platform that is based upon condition
OF things that may have existed four years
ago, but which even a blind man can see
does rot exist now? 1t is all nonsense 10
talk ahcut reafirming the Chicago plat
form as a whole. We should have a nes'
platform based upon the conditions as they
exist today, ard it should not declare IN
favor Of financial policy which majori-
ty of the Democratic party do not ap-
prove.
Mr.. st. Clair will, as a member OF the
Committee on Resolutions, aid in any iiEht
that is made for the purpose of breaking
down the free silver faction. but he does
not expect It to win. So far as the financial
plank of the platform, is concerned. II is
settled now, and some attention is tEere-
fore being paid to the various other p,anks
OF more or less Importance.
The leading subjects, aside from that OF
silver. will be, of course, militarism, trusts,
and Imperialism. The denunciation of
trusts will, it is understood, be particularly
strong. Then there will be few u;her
planks including that which was orig
mated by Mayor Mcclure. of Syracuse, 10
take away from legislative bodies the
power of direct legislation and placing 1t
by constitutional amendment in the bands
of the people.

FAIL TO REACH AN AGREEMENT.
Democrats. Silver Republicans. and

Democrats. silver Republicans. and
Fusionists in Conference.
KANSAS CITY, July 3.-The leaders
of the Democratic party had long talk
today with the Silver Republicans and the
Fusionist leaders to find out If there was
not some way in which the three parties
could be brought into harmony in regard
to the platform and the Vice Presidential
candidate The conferees, who met by ap-
pointment in the apartment of Senator
Jones of Arkansas at the Kansas City
Club did not reach any agreement. The
onlv result of their efforts was that it was
decided to have the Democratic and Silver
Republican Conventions appoint confer
ence committees when they meet tomor-
row to talk the matter over.
The Democratic party was represented
at this mornings conference by Chairman
Jones. Richard Croker, Representatives
Richardson of Tennessee and Clayton OF
Alabama; the Silver Republicans by
Senator Teller of Colorado. ex-senator
Dubois OF Idaho, and Mr. Newlands of Ne
braska Senators Pettigrew, Heitfe!d, Till
man and Representative Ridley of Kansas
we're on hand for the Fusionists, who have
already nominated Colonel Bryan and
Charles C. Towne as their Presidential
ticket.

phone. where messages were being con-

then to come to Kansas City in person
and urge his convictions on the delegates
Mr.. Bryan stood firm in the attitude he
has already taken. refusing to yield to
either demand. although they came directly
from members of the Nebraska delegation
Mr.. Metcalf. Nebraska's representative on
the platform, is said to have been espe-
cially emphatic in his demands that Mr.
Bryan visit the Convention in person, but
his appeal was ignored.
Mr. Bryan will spend his time tomor-
row in his library, where he has two
telegraph Instruments and where two
operators will be in charge. He will be
kept informed of all that is transpiring at
Kansas City by his lieutenants.
He has arranged for small fireworks
display in his front yard tomorrow even
ing for the edifcation of W. ]. Bryan. jr..
Miss Grace. and number of their little
friends.
This morning Mr.. and Mrs. BRYAN drove
to the station to bid farewell to the Lincoln
contingent to the Convention. Their ap-
pearance was received with enthusiasm and
. speech was demanded, but Mr. Bryan
refused
In the afternoon Mr.. Bryan was sum-
moned to downtown hotel to meet the
Jacksonian Club delegation from Omaha,
which came by way of Lincoln on It's way
to the Convention. He saddled his horse
and rode to the hotel. reaching there just
as the delegation had surrounded the frcnt
of the building His appearance was greet
cd with cheers. AS he rode up he was sur
rounded and speech demanded Without
dismounting and with his hat in his hand
he said:
Il am always glad to see the Jackson
ians, and especially so when you are on
your way to Kansas City where you will
add to the noise and enthusiasm OF the
others. You have taken for your organi-
zation the name of Jackson the second
greatest Democrat. Jefferson was the
party's great law giver and Jackson the
party's great example of courage. There
are tunes when courage is as necessary as
knowledge of party principles
Il am glad you are going to Kansas
City as you will show visitors there what
the Democrats of Nebraska are like. You
go there to stand for the party's prin-
ciplcs There was time when there were
different principles enunciated for different
sections of the country; for the North. for
the South. for the East, and for the West
but now we have a creed making Democ-
racy the same everywhere, and creed SO
plain that it csn be understood by ALL"
