Chairman James w. Gordon was seen
last night and asked If it was his purpose
10 cal, the City democratic comm-ttee
together al any early date. He said he
had not thought of doing SO. and saw no
reason for ii, as there was nothing the
COMMITTEES could do il they should meet
lie also said h,. had heard nothing of the
committee and Chairman Eiiyson extend
ing a joint invitation to Colonel Bryan 10
speak here during the canvass.
1t has all along been thought probable
that Colonel Bryan would be invited here
some time next fall, but the matter is not
likely TO be taken up for some time yet.
as the committee may not meet before
the middle of September. 1t does not seem
at all probable that MIR. Gordon will call
"a meeting until the Republicans have
made their Congressional nomination: When
