for help from the Pacific com

was asked of a prominent Democrat who
holds a national office and Is a friend OF
both Mr.. Bryan and Col. Kilbourne, the
Democratic candidate for governor of
Ohio. The mutual friend was in Chi
cago on business.
Il shouldn't be surprised If Bryan was
heard often in Col. Kilbourne's behalf, {"
was the reply, 'for the two are the best
OF friends. l am sure Col Bryan would
accept an invitation from Col Kill

Democrauc orators or national repute,
as well as party leaders, are likely to
bob up in New York city, as well as
Ohio, next fall, the campaign to elect a
mayor Of Greater New York in November

understood among men in Chicago who
should know that Col. Bryan will speak
for the Democratic ticket there. as well
as Hill, German. Perry Belmont. Stone.
and probably Grover Cleveland and
George Fred Williams. Ex-senator

York managers.
There is no truth whatever in thu
rumor, report or canard that the head
quarters of the Democratic national COM
mittee are to be removed to Washington
Chicago Is too handy. About four times
year somebody starts the gossip going
that Senator Jones is down in Arkansaw
quietly cutting strings and buying wrap
ping paper to pack up the national COM
nlittees household goods and carry them
mittee goes right on with its mass of
routine work, and Senator Jones saws 10

newspaper chaps have run short of SEN
sations again and I'll be UP against them
Deny that lie for the thousandth time"
A big pile Of mail left the Democratic
headquarters this week and Mr.. Locke
who sent 1t out, said: This would moi
be mailed here, as it is. If we were going
to Washington. Our business is going on
SO as TO make 1t necessary that we stay

but he wouldn't let us go on this way
and waste time and money and work II
he intended to make a change"
