10 NOMINATE Mr.. BRYAN ON FOURTH OF July
That the Purpose of the National Democratic Committee Many
of the Delegates. ss.a
Mr. Bryan Will Appear Before the Convention Thursday Accept
the Honor Conferred

KANSAS CITY, July 3.-Unless plans
perfected tonight are upset, Mr.. Bryan
will attend the Democratic national con-
vention after his nomination, If he is
put in the field early enough to render
it practicable for him to do so. A formal
invitation has been extended to him, and
he has said that he would accept.
This fact was brought out In the aft
ernoon meeting Of the national Demo-
cratic committee, as was also the inten-
ton Of the national committee to have
the nomination for the presidency made
tomorrow, If possible.
The desire on the part of the mem
bers to accomplish this end was devel-
oped at the close Of the session, and 1t
was brought to the surface by an in
vitation to the committee from the cit
liens Of Kansas City to take a talIy-ho
ride tomorrow evening. This invitation
was extended by ex-Gov. Stone, Of Mis-
souri,. When 1t was presented Mr.. Clay
ton took the floor in opposition to it's
acceptance, saying that there was a well
defined and very general wish that Mr.
Bryan should be placed in nomination on
the Fourth Of July, making a fitting

sion.
The managers appreciate that there
may be many obstacles In the way OF
carrying out this programme, but they
are quite determined to find a way to
do 1t, and they express confidence that
the members of the convention will all
lend helping hand to this end.
MIR. BRYAN WILL BE THERE
The discussion also developed the fact
that Mr.. Bryan is expected to be present
In the convention on Thursday, the dav
after his nomination, and indicate to the
convention his acceptance of the honor
conferred. An intimatton Of the commit
tees purpose to secure action tomorrow
mas been conveyed to the prospective
candidate, and an invitation extended to
MIN to visit the convention on Thurs
DAY, and 1t Is stated upon excellent au-
thority that he has indicated that he
will accept.
The members Of the committee express
themselves generally as of the opinion
that the programme can be carried ont

to Mr.. Bryan do not hesitate to saw

marching clubs and other visitors for
Kansas City. They occupied ten coaches
and In tie party were Ruth BRYAN. the
Oldest daughter; Charles w. Bryan. a
brother, and his wife; Mamie Bryan and
Mrs I. S. Allen, sisters.
Mr.. Bryan passed slowly through the
crowd and finally worked his way TO the
farther end of the station. There he
boarded car and tried to make his
way down through them all, but he had
no sooner entered the door OF the first
car before the occupants were all on
their feet, Shouting and clamoring for a
speech. But farther than remarks and
comments TO those nearest him Mr. Bry-
al had nothing to say. Every car was
decorated with huge banners along the
SIDES bearing the name Of the organiza-
tion which occupied 1t. The Bryan home
GUARDS, the Bryan Travelling Mems club
and the Bryan continental guards were
represented m them. A car bore the
legend, The Silver Republican Bryan
Club"

ans Bryan club, and back Of this car
was hung huge picture of the candi-

he spoke briefly to the members of the
club, the only significant statement be-
ing that, Democrats, East, West, North
and South were now united on the Chi
cago platform"
Mr. Bryan gave out the following as
the political sentiment for the Fourth of
July:
"The campaign of 1896 Brought out the
greatest discussion of an economic sub
ject this country had seen for a genera
ton. The campaign of 1900 will involve
not only economic questions, but political
questions reaching down to the funda-
mental principles of government In 1896
we were discussing wrongs Of man. This
year wes shall not only discuss the
wrongs, but the rights of men,"

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 3.-With flags
flying, bands playing, streets resplendent
with the blaze of bunting, and Of myriad
lights, and with the ear assaulted by the
deafening conglomeration Of bombs, and
rockets, and crackers, and marching
clubs, and drum CORPS with all this fusion
of patriotism and politics, Kansas City
is tonight ushering in the national holiday
and the Democratic national convention.
There were crowds here yesterday, but
those were but the advance guard, and
today they have come en- masse, fairly
engulfng the city, and taking complete
possession Of its streets, hotels and pub
lie places. With this late influx have
come the Tammany braves, the Chicago
Marching club and many kindred organi-
zations with their bands. And yet for
some reason many of the most famous
convention organizations, such as the
Duckworth club, Of Cincinnati, are not
represented here, while the Jefferson
club, Of st. Louis, and the Young Mems
Louisville club, send only a handful Of
men instead of their usual quota Of
hundreds.
Many notable figures Of the party have
come with the arriving delegations today.
With the Kentuckyians came the sue
cessor of Goebel, Gov. Beckham, accom-
panied by Senator 10 Blackburn and the
polished ex-Gov. McCreary. From South
Carolina came that picturesque figure,
Senator Tillman, with his blind right eye
shaded with huge white helmet. Carter
Harrison, Ben. Noble and Samuel Al
schuler, the latter a candidate for gov
| ernor of Illinois, headed the Illinois dele
cation, and doughty Senator White, a
convention veteran, and Mcguire, of San
Francisco, recent candidate for governor,
were, with the. other Cahfornians, busy

state. With the TammaDy arrivals,

LINCOLN, Neb., July 8.-If William j.
Bryan intends going to Kansas City to
make a speech to the delegates to the
national convention, either before or af-
ter 1t concludes, he will not say so. Mr.
Bryan was asked this afternoon what
would be his answer if just before ad-
journing the convention should ask him
to visit Kansas City and address the
crowds He said he did not wish to dis
cuss the subject; that 1t would be mani
festly improper for him to anticipate.
Tonight, when notified that the national
committee had invited him to Kansas
City, and that it was reported he had
accepted, Mr.. Bryan replied promptly and
emphatically:
81 don't know a thing about it,
Later he said it was inexplieable how
such report had staHted.
IL certainly have received no invitation
from the national committee, and 1 know
1 have not accepted ONE
Mr.. Bryan added that he had, talked

during the day and tonight over the
long-distance telephone, and not one of
them had mentioned the fact that he
had been invited to speak to the conven-
ton.
Nevertheless, it is believed in Lincoln
that Mr.. Bryan will be prevailed upon
to go, but it will not be until the closing
stage Of the convention, and certainly
not tomorrow.
Mr.. Bryan said he would not discuss
the report that a number of Democratic
editors had united in request that he
consent to a simple reafirmaeon of the
Chicago platform. :
This was the easiest day Mr.. Bryan
has spent since his return from Wiscon-
sin. Aside from a drive at noon to the
Missouri Pacific depot to see the train
load of Lincoln people leave for Kansas
City and a short speech to the Jack
sonian club, of Omaha, in front of the
Lincoln hotel, he spent the day and even
ing at his city home arranging to re-
ceive the proceedings of the convention

FOURTH AT HOME.
Mr.. Bryan said his Fourth of July
programme was simple He would stay
at home and hear the news. The tele-
graph companies have provided ample
facilities for providing Mr.. Bryan with
details of the convention proceedings.
Two telegraph instruments are in his
house. each eonnectedEw wire that
can be switched directly to the eonven-
tion hall, and operators will be provided
to remain as long. as Mr.. Bryan cares to

Democratic celebration Of the national
anniversary.
Senator Kennedy spoke in the same
strain, and Senator Jones descended
from the platform to add his voice IN
support of the proposition. Ali agreed
that such a nomination would add spirit
to the occasion, and give the ticket a
send-off such as it would not otherwise
receive.
The members of the committee gener-
ally supported the proposition, and, as
a consequence, the invitation of the Kan
sas City people was declined.
PLANS OF THE COMMITTEE.
The discussion developed some points of
the programme of the committee. They
will have day and anight session. 1t
is their purpose to have the usual COM
mittee appointed as promptly as possi-
bic after the convening of the conven-
ton, and then to have. them get to-
gether Immediately, act as soon as they
can, and, if possible, report and have
the convention act upon the reports be-
fore adjourning in the afternoon Failing
to secure action in the afternoon they
hope to get the committee reports dis

TREACHEROUS WORK.
Various accounts Of the murder Of
Baron Won Ketteler reach Shanghai. The
correspondent of the Express says that
Prince Tuan, who is the dictator at the
capital, tried by means Of a trap to in
duce the ministers to leave the lega-
tions so that they might be massa-
cred by fanatics, thus evading govern
mental responsibility for their death. The
American, British, French and Russian
ministers suspected a plot and refused
to leave the legations. Baron Won Ket-
teller, however, accepted the invitation
and left the German legation with
small escort of German marines. OPP
posite the foreign office he was assailed
by the Chinese soldiery and was shot
four times The foreign Office was burn
ed by the marines in their endeavor to
defend Baron Won Ketteler, whose body
was hideously mutilated.
Another account has it that all the
ministers were invited to a conference
with the tsung Ii yamen, and that Baron
Won ketteler started out first and was
murdered The other ministers then re-
fused to venture upon the street. A Brit
ish officer and some sailors were wound
ed while trying to defend Baron Won
Ketteler. German sailors, this account
says, set fire to the tsung II yamen build
ing.
