BRYANS VIEW ON
YICE-P PRESIDENCY
Thinks No Man Out of Harmony With
Chicago Platform Can be
Nominated.

IINCOIlN, NEB., June civilian Jeu-
ninss Bryan returned to-day from his
Wisconsin fishing trip, and will remain
here until after the Democratic National
Convention. He said he had been placed In
= wrong position by some one WHO had
presumed to outline his plan Of campaign.
..Any statements made by anybody IN
regard TO campaign plans are without
foundation or authority. He added:
..No plans have been made by me or
any one for me. and no plans VIII De iiiaue
Till after the convention has been held
Mr.. Bryan. in regard TO the platform TO
be adopted at Kansas City, sad;
Some idea could be obtained as 70
its general tenor from the platforms
adopted in the State conventions
.As a large majority OF the delegates
have been elected by conventions which
reaftirmed the Chicago platform, IL IS sate
to assume that the Kansas city platform
will reaffirrn the Chicago platform, ana
it will contain nothing which can be
construed as a surrender or modilicatlon
of the platform on the old issues
.Tt is equally certain that there will be
a strong and definite plank against the
trusts. There is also no doubt that the
n1arlz against imperialism will be clear and
exp,icit. Militarism will be denounced and
sympathy expressed for the Beers. This
much is evident from what has already
taken place
yICElFRESIDENCY.
Asked if there was any truth in the
rumors that Vice-President will be
chosen whose views on the money question
will be attractive to those who opposed the
ticket in 1896, Mr.. Bryan said:
..T do not care TO discuss the Fice-Presi-
fancy now. further than TO say that as
sumo that the candidate nominated for
vice-President will be in harmony with the
platform.
'.The Vice-President not only pFesides
over the Senate while the President IS
alive. but assumes the Office OF President in
case of the Presidents death, ard it is
hardly probable that delegates to a na-
tionaI convention wonld write platform
and then select for either place on a
ticket a man who would repudiate the
platform No man worthy to be eonsid-
cred for such an Office would accept a nom
nation upon a platform repugnant to his
views on any present issue.

I.owrey w. Humes, convicted at Mem

years in the penitentary for defraudins

To Reduce TrooDs in Cuba.

WASHINGTON, June 25.-As soon as
Secretary Root returns to this city early
mex; week, final arrangements will be
made for thu withdrawal OF as many troops
az can be spared from further service IN
Cuba. It has been estimated that about
half OF the troops can safely be brought
home within the next few months.
There is an impression that the Fifth
Infantry. stationed principally in the De-
partmen. OF Santiago, will be the first to
return to the United States. and that the
Eighth Infantry. situated in the same
department, will follow soon after.
