Aocratic national campaign of 1900 were
outlined and practically agreed upon
yesterday at prOtracted conference
between the leaders Of the party. The
plan includes the appointment OF q
campaign committee as agreed upon
between the representatives OF the
Democratic, Silver Republican ana
Populist parties at Kansas City. This

three parties, and perhaps also Demo-
Gratis not members Of the national COM
mittee but who are prominent In the
councils of the party. This committee
will, it is said, have charge In meas
ure of the practical working Of the
campaign ard will
Work fer Fusion
on state aud congressional tickets
wherever possible. The press and
executive committee it is expected will,
with one or two exceptions, be the
same as four years ago. The personnel
of all the committees was left in the
hands of Chairman Jones. The Ques-
ton of national headquarters was also
left in his hands. 1t was stated that
Chicago would probably be selected:
Mr.. Bryan said yesterday that he had
made no plans as to the part he would
take in the campaign and would not

he did during the campaign of 1896,
but will make trips from time to time
to the larger centers Of population, re.
manning in Lincoln great deal of the
time. Many visitors are expected here
during the campaign, and Lincoln will
in a way be a central point in the
campaign. Mr.. Towne may not an
