The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1900-05-23

THE Republicans seem to have
great difficulty to decide on cam
didate for Vice President. Some
half dozen or more gentlemen have
been named. but none thus far have
given satisfaction, with the excep-
tion OF Governor Roosevelt, of New
York, who positively declines the
honor. Where there are so many
eligi ble men, we think there should
be no difficulty in getting suitable
candidate. The great mass Of the
Republicans will be satisfied with
any good man, and we have no
doubt that Mckinley will have the
popul arlty necessary to lead to a
successful result. The outcry
against the adminlstration of Gaze
sarism, dictatorship, imperia lism,
etc, Will amount TO little damage,
as the good sense and patriotism
will lead majority Of the people
to sustain whatever has been done.

WIN Defer HI. visit.

Chicago, August 13,--The Chronicle to-
morrow will say:
Colonel W. ]. Bryan will not be in Chi
cago on Tuesday, August 2s, the day OF
the great parade of the Grand Army of the
Republic Rather than embarrass Presi-
dent Mckinley by counter demonstra-
tion, the democratic candidate will defer
his arrival TO the next day, or perhaps
two days later. This decision was reached
after MIR. Bryan was made acquainted with
the programme and the part to which he
was assigned by Executive Director Har-
per.
Mr.. Bryan closeted himself with a
photograph today and delivered over
again parts OF the speech Of acceptance
he made at indianapolis last week. Those
sections in which the candidate promises
to call an extra session OF congress to
deal with the Philippine problem and
the closing periods were the principal
parts of the speech that went into the
phonognaph. 1t is expected that the
Bryan speech. as ground out by the pho
nograph, will play an important part in
the campaign.

the object Of the visit was to ask the

possible who might apply from the dis

ANTI-IMpERIALrsT LEAGUE.

Question ms to Whether 1t VIII IN
dorse Bryan or Put out Ticket.
Indianapolis, Ind. August 13,-The con-
gress of the and-imporialistc league will
be called to order Wednesday morning IN
Tomlinson hall by Senator Henderson of
Missouri and he will introduce Governor
George S Boutwell, or Massachusetts,, who
viii preside over the meetings.
Governor Boutwell, will use ali his in
fuence TO prevent the nominate OF u
third ticket and likewise the Endorsement
of BRYAN and Stevenson. He believes a
strong resolution denouncing imperialism
should be adopted and then the meeting
should adjourn.
Carl Schurz and Bourke Cochran are ex-
peXted. 1t Is expected that SchurZ will
INSIST on an Endorsement OF Bryan and
Stevenson and that he will be aided in
this by Henry Johnson, ex-republican col
gressman from the Richmond. or Sixth
Indiana district. ETC, Rowland OF New
YORK says that the impression in the
East is that the anti mperiallsts will

X. A. Wtdenham OF New York saws
There are many OF us who are republi-
cans and we can not stomach Bryan. We
ma that both of the old parties are in the
hands Of machines and that in the end
few viii profit at the expense OF the pub
lie, %e are confronted with a peculiar
condition, II Mckinley. who seems to be
training his guns against free silver, is
elected, he will declare that his Imperial
policy has been indorsed If Bryan, who
is attacking the administrator i'm
perialistlc policy is elected he will de-
clare silver has been indorsed. Either
would be contrary to our views.
Mr.. Widenham says there is little
doubt that there is drift toward Bran.
He says he has been told by we'll inform
ed men that If Mckinley carries Massa-
chusetts by $4,000 he will be lucky; also
that many of his business acquaintance
are drifting toward Bryan.
Those who favor a third ticket have
suggested the names of Thomas B. Reed
and Richard olney. Ex-Governor Boutwell,
of Massachusetts and T. B. Henderson.
The Indiana anti-imperialist league
formed today has about 500 members
scattered throughout the State.
