nominated already by the Populists.
Opposition 10 him has developed ON the

Popullst His friends are working for
him Ike beavers and are making some
headway II was intimated today that
Mr.. T0wne's name might be seconded
by one Of the Nebraska delegates, thus
indicating the position Of Mr., Bryan.
The story could not however be traced
TO any authoritative source.
Among those mentioned for the NOM
nation is former Senator German. OF
Maryland. Western ard Southern men
are inclined 10 the belief that he would
be a stronger man with their people
than Gov. Hill. but there Is a vigorous
disposition 10 call upon Mr.. German TO
take the chairmanship Of the national
executive committee and manage the
approaching campaign
SULZER IS RUNNING.
Mr. sulzer, Of New York, one Of the
few avowed candidates, staunchly
backed by strong friends Is making
things hum about his headquarters in
the Savoy. He has some delegations
pledged to him and claims that In the
roundup he VIII receive the support Of
his own State and that Of most Of the
eastern and southern delegates

therefore. may resolve itself into one
similar 20 that in the Philadelphia con-
vention, the candidate being assured OF
a nomination before a ballot Is taken,
Should this prove true, II would present
a coincidence unique In American po-
ltical history.
TOWNE MEN CONFIDENT
The Towne managers say very en-
today that their man win
win the vice presidential sweepstakes
They have reached point where they
offer the Democrats certain terms and
insist upon being heard. Their program
is this;
The men authorized 10 speak for the
Populists and Silver Republicans will
agree with Democratic managers that
both conventions shall go ahead and
nominate Bryan on the first day, July
4. but that no ettort shall be made to
nominate a vice presidential candidate
Committees Of conference shall be APP
pointed with a view OF agreeing upon
candidate 10 unite the forces Of the
three fusion parties. II the Democratic
leaders do not agree 20 this program,
the Silver Republican convention viii
make no nomination OF either President
or Vice President. but viii appoint
committee Of conference on bottle Offices
to confer with like committees OF the
Democrats and Populists. Some Of the
Democratic leaders have agreed that
this is a fair proposition and have as
sured the Towne managers that they
will do what they can TO carry it out,
NO DOUBJE-TA1LED TICKET.
Another card the Towne men are
playing Is that Bryan is for the Min
nesOta man. The position said TO be
taken by Mr. Bryan Is that the Demo-
Gratis are in honor bound 10 treat the
allies Of 1896 fairly and with due con-
sideration. He thinks that the Popu-
lists and Silver Republicans hold the
balance Of power In several States, and
when united with the Democrats make
those States sure for the allied forces
Bryan does not want double-tailed
ticket In this campaign. and many Of
the leaders share his wishes. There Is
a possibility that the P0pulists and
Silver Republicans may object to with
drawing the man they have nominated
So the Towne men think they are In
a very good position. Another thing
which makes the TOwne men so conf
dent Is the loyalty Of Sulzer TO Bryan.
They believe that II Sulzer Is convinced
that Bryan wants TOwne he viii not
only step out OF the way. but take the
platform and nominate or second
Towne's nomination OF course this
may require a strong intimation from
Bryan, an intlmation that Is scarcely
probable as Mr. Bryan does not want
to appear in the role Of debating to the
convention.
sULZER IS CONFIDENT.
Meanwhile Mr.. Sulzer Is making
SNOWY canvas, and talks with the most
confidence o. any man or the friends
OF any man in the race
