eral Delegations Visit the Prophet
at Lincoln.
Kansas City, July THE Democratic
national committee resumed its ses
sions to-day. Representatives OF thu
Populists and Silver Republicans at
tended the meeting. Nearly every state
in which the Populist and the Silver
Republican strength Is necessary tt
carry the state for the Democracy was
pledged to Bryan and Stevenson. The
exceptions were Nebraska, Kansas and
South Dakota, representatives of these
states saying that they thought 1t ex-
| tremely doubtful If they could be car
| ried for Bryan unless Populist should
remain in the field. At the same time
they claimed that they did not care to
sacrifice Towne. Stress was laid upon
the danger of losing four senators in
those three states. The Silver Rcpub-
licans said there would be no doubt
about carrying the mountain states, but
they had little hope for the Pacific
coast. The matter of running third
ticket will probably be determined aft
er conference of leaders at Lincoln,
as 1t Is understood many will meet Bry-
an there on Monday.
THE DEMOCRATIC MECCA.
Lincoln, Neb.. July 1.-THE influx of
Democrats returning from Kansas City
began early to-day when the Montana
delegation stopped between trains and
proceeded in body to the Bryan home,
accompanied by a band. Bryan was
aroused and greeted the delegates cor
daily. Senator Clark was not in the
party. In the forenoon the Jacksonian
Club, Of Omaha, called on the presiden-
tial candidate. Other delegations are
expected during the afternoon.

committee of the Democratic party met
at the Kansas City Club after the ad-
journment of the convention and imme-
diately organized. Senator Jones, who
was not member of the committee, re-
mained outside until the preliminaries
were over. Thomas Taggart, of Indiana,
who had been mentioned as probable
chairman, nominated Senator Jones for
reelection, and he received the unani-
nous vote. The senator was sent for,
and, in accepting the craftsmanship, said
that the committee entered the CAM
paign in much better shape than four
years ago. Then the members were all
new and untried in party affairs, which
had been in the hands of men who were
overthrown in the great issues domi-
mating the 1895 convention. Now they
had complete organization. and were
ready to go ahead and make the best
fight possible. He complimented the
action of the convention both as to plat
form and candidates. The matter of Sc
lecting the executive committee was
left to Chairman Jones, who will make
appointments after he has had time for
consideration. A committee consisting
Of Tillman of South Carolina, Johnson
Of Indiana, Williams of Massachusetts,,
Osborne Of Wyoming and Wilson Of
Idaho was appointed to confer with the
representatives of the Populist and Sill
yer Republican parties as to the best
plan Of campaign.
