Kansas City, July 8. (splJ rho on
position to the rs to pink Of the
Bryan platform received severe blow
when delegates decided that David r.
Hill should not represent the State on
the committee on resolutions.
This decision was brought about by
Richard Croker. Norman II. Mack and
the Kings county delegates. who had
deserted Hill and gone to the side Of
free silver.
| The Delegates front Kings county
met at 12 O'Clock and decided that II
would be bad policy TO have him on
the committee on resolutions 10 lead
the fight against the platform favored
by Mr.. Bryan. II was decided 10 pre-
sent TO the full state delegation the
name of Augustus Van Wyek, for mem.
ber of the committee on resolutions.
The hour for caucus has been chang
cd from S o'clock tonight 10 three this
afternoon. At a conference this morn.
ing between Croker and some Of his
friends II was decided to keep Hill OF
Of the platform committee.
John Wahalen and other Tammony
leaders said that Hill would he named
if he would accept 1t. When Htll
was asked about II he said: 81 don't
know whether or not I will go on the
committee" This was all he would
say. Soon after the decision of Crok-
er and his friends was made known,
it was learned that Hill was trying to
make deal with the Pennsylvania
delegation to make him member of
the committee on resolutions from that
State. How this could be done was
not explained and Hill did not discuss
the report. There is very bitter feel
ing against Hill in the New York dele

Who hath ruled in the greenwood long;
Here's health and renown TO his broad green
crown,
And his fifty arms strong.
There's fear in his frown when the goes down,
And the fre in the west fades cut;
And he soweth his might on wild midnight,
When the storm through bis branches shout.
Then her.'s to the oak. the brave old OAK.
Who stands in his pride alone;
And still flourish he, hale green tree,
When a hundred years are gone!
In the days Of old, when the spring with cold
Had frightened his branches gray,
Through the grass his feet orspt maidens sweet,
To gather the dew OF May.
And on that day to the rebeck gay
They trolicked with lovesoine swsins;
They are gone, they are dead, in the churehyard
laid.
But the tree It still remains
Re saw the rare times when the Christmas chimes
We're merry sound TO hear
When the squire's wide hall and the cottage small
We're filled with good English cheer.
Now gold hath the sway ali obey.
And ruthless king is he
But he never shall send our ancient fi.nd
To be tossed on the stormy sea.

To which the thrill OF triumph can be wound;

Without conscious purpose OF his own,
Is swung and lifted to ths nation's thrones
But he who has all single handed stood -,

A Chicago critic says: tbs perfectly
safe to say that there is not in America

was sung last night, and made fueh a
success az was made last evening by
sheer force Of Legitimate art where the
charms of Wang converted from stage to
audience. The envirement OF the sing
ers was lost track OF entirely In the
pleasure created by their superb vocal
ism. No more hattering tribute could
be paid to any of the artists that to de-
clare that their art was overwhelming
1t can truthfully be said that Wang is
one of the greatest productions that has
ever been witnessed in the city Of Chica-

accessories are simply gorgeous
