Seriously Considered.

Washington, d. c.. March 1i.-wnliam
J. Bryan told his friends with whom he
spent the day IN Washington that ne
believed he was as strong as ever with
the rank and tile Of the Democrats; that
all the efforts 20 reorganize tho DEM
acrotic party against his Interests had
come to naught; that he saw no rival
that need be seriously considered ana
no one who might be developed into such
a rival.
In short. he left the impression that
he expected 10 be renominated and elect
ed In 1904.
and Mr.. Hin, he thought the people
would distinctly see behind their recent
letters and other outgivings, and he
thought the nomination of one OF them
by the Democratic party for the presi-
deney was as unlikely as the nomination
OF the other. Mr.. Olney he does not
take seriously as "A candidate.

German and other Democratic man
ayers, including most OF the strong
men I'm the South, and a large minority,

national committee are working TO
eliminate him from tho possibility of con-
