 New York. March 11.-William J. Bryan arrived in this city from Chica- 20 Saturday on business connecteu with the weekly paper of which he Is editor and proprietor.
 Shall YOU be a candidate for pres ident again if you are requested To run:" was asked him at the AoH- man house.
 Ut is too far away from the next campaign to discuss that.' he replleu.
 Do you think there should be any change in the democratic platform
 T am perfectly satisfied with it as it stands. It is too early yet to write platforms
 Tt was said that you insisted upon the insertion of the free silver plank r in the platform at Kansas City. Dld you:'
 Every one knew that I preferred platform that was frank and honest to one that was evasive.
 What do you think of tue proposal to reorganiZe the democracy:
 II can only repeat what l have al- ready said. that the party. if reorgan- iZed. must be reorsaniZed from with in. and not from the outside. The work must be done by the men who elect delegates and write platforms. and not by the men who voted some other ticket"
 "When you were here last you seemed confident that you would be elected. Did you really expect to win:"
 My confidence was based on what men told me"
 Among others. MT Croker predict cd that you would carry New York, was suggested.
 ''There were so many who made pre- dictions that it would be hardly right to mention any one in particular
 ''Is Nebraska going to elect it's United States senators?"
 There are only two senators to be elected, but as there are more than two railroads in the state, it seems difficult to reach an agreement
 What have you to say of the fail ure of the Nicaragua canal bill:''
 '1 am surprised that the canal pro- ject has fallen through. though I nev- CT had much faith in the efforts of the administration to build the canal. The transcontinental railroads have too much influence in the republican par fy."
 What do you think of the last con- sress?"
 There was once a man who died" answered Mir Bryan. What was the complaint| asked q man who knew him. when he heard of the event. No complaint was the reply. Everybody is satisfied.' That is the way the last congress impresses people. Everybody Is glad it is dead" .
 What is your opinion of the bill lion dollar steel trust?'
 Ut is an Illustration of what we de- nounced in the last campaign The tendency will be to increase the mag rjtude of these combinations as long as they are permitted
 ''Do you think that anything was left undone that should have been done in the last campaign?,
 Well" replied MT Bryan. hesitat- lngly, 'san interview is hardly the place in which to discuss that.''
 Mir Bryan said that he was very we'll satisfied with the progress that his paper was making On the oc- casion of his last visit to the Hoffman house, toward the close of the cam paign. he was the companion of Rich ard Croker, and Madison square was so densely packed that hundreds of policemen were needed to make lane 2 for the carriage in which he rode to the Garden. Not one of the Tammany lenders called upon him yesterday, .nd 5zshis presence in the hotel attracted pn1y g few of tho free silver men who have been faithSul to him since the pAign of 1S96. Br Bryan will re-
 at the Hoffman house until this
