BRYAN FOR GOVERNOR.


GRAND ISLAND, Neb.. June 2S.-Dele-
gates to the Populist and Democratic state
conventions, which will be held tomorrow.
began pouring into the city this afternoon.
Over 1900 delegates are accredited to each
convention, and at least 1000 are expected
to attend. IL is the unanimous opinion
that if Mr.. Bryan will accept the nomina-
tion for Governor there will be little left
to do but decide the rest OF the ticket.
OptimistS say the denomination of Con-
greSSman Stark, to-day, will have a de-
moralizing effect in case Bryan is not nom-
mated, as the Populists had depended on
Stark to carry the state ticket through for
fusion. The minor Offices are attracting
little attention, although there are large
number of prospective candidates for those
offices.
