s1oon, by Chairman j X. Jones, Of Arkan-
eas. lie viii announce the temporary
organization. and his labors as national
chairman viii have been completed, unless
ne shall be chosen to succeed himself
1t seems very likely that Governor c S
Thomas, Of Colorado, who is a candidate
70 succeed Senator z. o. Woicott in the
United states Senate. will be made tenn
porary chairman, and that the hono- OF
presiding permanently over the deli1era-
lions Of the body VIII oe given to Con
1-ressman James d. Richardson, of Ten
aessee. the Democratic tfoor-leader in tie
House Of Representatives.
From the programme which has been
outlined by the Democrats for their
alszional conclave 1T seems altogether pro-
soable that they VIII Guido the Republicans
in their display of enthusiasm and red
fire.
THE BAY AN INSPIRATIGN-
The very day upon which they are TO
meet vii III itself be an inspiration to
every lover Of constitutional liberty, and
it has been arranged To have America 5

some distinguished leader,
The nomination for The first place on
the ticket has been settled beyond all
question by nearly all the. States declaring
Their preference for Mr. Bryan
II is not known whether Il IS the puf-
pose of Colonel Bryan TO have some
recognized leader present his name in IN
gmpaSsioned burst of oratory or whether
some one will simply move that he De
declared the nominee Of the party by
reclamation Il seems very certain, now
ever, that there viii be plenty of speech
making in which Senator Daniel, Joe
blackburn Rhea (of Kentucky, and other
brilliant orators viii take part.
The adoption Of the PLATFORM will cause
isoTne debate, bat it seems practically sell

Teatlifmed and that strong planks %lli
be added against imperialism and trusts
The foreign policy of the administration
VIII probably be dealt with at some
length. ana criticised.
DANIEL is STRONG
There are great number Of strong
men spoken Of for Eice-President-
The announcement on the part OF close
friend of Senator Daniel, that he is willing
10 ACCEPT The nomination on the ticket with
Colonel Bryan, is received among The Viz
Einia delegates with great enthusiasm, and
his home State Will no doubt open mead
quarters IN Kansas City and press his
Claims vigorously before the convention
The nomination of Bryan and Daniel
would give 10 the party the hanasonest
ticket ever placed in the field in national
contest. and should they make a canvass
together they would arouse the voters
by their splendid talents and presence
everywhere.

II IS very likely that the brilliant and
DISTINGUISHED Joe blackburn. OF KENTUCKY
Mr. Daniels longtime senatorial colleague
and warm personal friend. viii lay ms
claims before the great gathering, unless
it should appear more appropriate to have
Il done by a member of the Virginia DEL
esation when ii IS probable that Hon.
TY:n A. Jones, OF the First Congresslciaai
District, viii do the honoTs.
Mr. Jones is amost attractive speaker,
n-ld with such theme as the great Sena-
Tor claims, he would set me colNei4tioti

distinguished honor
