With reference to Imperialism there is
the foHowdng: 1--WE make clear distinc-

To1vNE MEN ENCOURAGED
The Towne managers say very
,emiPnat,cally emf today that their man
sweepstakes. They have hea''a, reached y
point where they offer the democrats
certain terms and insist upon heinp
heard Their programme is this: rhe
men Authorized to speak for the nopu-
lists hsd silver republicans will agree |
with the democratic managers that both
conyentions shall go ahead and nomin- |
ate Rryan on the first day, July l. but
that no effort shall be made to nominate
vice presidential candidate. Commit !
tees of conference shall be appointed
with view of agreeing upon a candi-
date to unite the forces of the three fu-
sion parties. If the democratic leaders
do not agree to this programme, the sill
Yer republican convention will make no
nomiaRiion of either president or rice
president, but will appoint a committee /
of conference on both offices to confer T
with HE committees from the democrats
and popnlists. Some of the democratic
leaders have agreed that this is a fair
managers that they will do what they /
can to carry it out
Another card the Towne men are play |
ing is that Bryan is for the Minnesota /
man. The position said to be taken by I
Bryan is that thesdemocrats are in honor
bound 10 treat the allies of 1896 fairly
and with due consideration. He thinks
that the popuists and silver republicans
hold the balance of power in several
staets aud who's united with the demo-
Gratis Will make those states sure for the
allied forces. Bryan does not want a
double tailed ticket in this campaign,
and many of the leaders share his wishes.
There is a possibility that the populists
and silver republicans may object to
withdrawing the man they have nonlin-
ated. So the Towne men think they are
in very good position.
