Ex-senator Hill returned from Lincoln

| did not cause as great a sensation a did
which he maintained and which 1e ex-
planned by saying; MIR. Bryan and lay
self agreed that nothing should be said re-
garding the conference between US did
not serve 10 whet the political appetites
very much. OF course II was not expect
ed That Mr.. Hill would talk of tho con-
might say something of interest relating
To the platform and the prospects NJ
modifcau IN, but he was decidedly nom
cOmmittai. When asked a direct question
as to his fight against n 16 to l decar1-
ton. he said the convention would not
meet for two days II might not act upon
the platform for three days. therefore
there was no reason 10 now discuss the
questions as TO what Il was To contain.
Mr., I'M talked with many men and cutie
long time with some, but to no one did
he outline hts intended position or give
any intimation as 10 the position Mr..
Bryan had taken while discussing the
coming convention, To some visitors Hr.
I'm said his conference with Mr. Bryan
was very satisfactory. but I'm what liar-

Towne's Managers Confident.
The Towne managers say very emphat-
| ically That their man will win the vice
presidential sweepstakes. They have
reached point where they offer the
Democrats certain terms and insist upon
being heard. Their programme Is this
The men authorized 10 speak for the Pop
ulists and Silver Republicans will agree
with Democratic managers that both CON
ventions shall go ahead and nominate
Bryan on the first day. July T. but no
effort shalt be made to nominate a vice
presidential candidate. Committees of
conference shall be appointed with a view
Of agreeing upon candidate to unite the
forces of the three fusion parties. II the
Democratic leaders do not agree to this
programme the silver Republican con-
ventton will make no nomination of either
president or vice president, but will APP
point a committee Of conference on both
the Democrats and Popullsts. Some of
the Democratic leaders have agreed that
this Is fair proposition and have assured
the Towne managers that they will do
what they can to carry ii out
bryan May Favor Towne.
Another card the Towne men are plan
ming is that Bryan Is for the Minnesota
man, The position said to be taken by
Mr. Bryan Is that the Democrats are in
honor bound to treat the allies of 1896
fairly and with due consideration. He
thinks that The Populists and Silver Re
puhlicans hold the balance of power in
several state and when united with the
Democrats makes those states sure for
the allied forces. Bryan does not want
douhle-tailed ticket in this campaign
and many of the leaders share The
wishes. There IS n possibility That the
Popuiists and Silver Republicans may OBJ

nominated. SO the Towne men think they
are In very good position.

Another thing which makes the Towne
men so confident is the loyalty OF S,lizer

Is convinced that Bryan wants Towne

require strong intimation from Bryan
an intimation that is scarcely probable.
