Influential members Of the Democratic
National Committee who were In town
last night (some at the Fifth Avenue Hotel
some at the Imperial Hotel, and one or two
at the Manhattan Hote) wanted to say
that the Hon. william Jennings Bryan
Of Lincoln, Neb., is rapidly becoming a
nuisance to The Democratic national party.
They said that Col, Byran seemed to think
that the future Of the Democratic National
party was poclcted in his waistcoat, and
that he could dictate the candidate for
President In 1904, the candidates for Gov
ernors Of the various States. and that he
should even name the candidates for Con-
gress In the approaching election, not only
In New York State. but in all the other
States where Congressman are TO be elected
this fall
Col Bryan was twice nominated by the
Democratic party for the Presidency and
twice failed of election. No party. Re-
publican or Democratic. since the foun-
dation Of the Government has conferred
more honors on a single man outside OF
Grover Cleveland, who was nominated for
the Presidency in 1884 and won, and lost
in 1885, and was renominated In 1892 and
elected
Mr.. Bryan's Commoner is constantly
saying sharp things Of Mr.. Cleveland.
According TO Democratic national prophets
Mr.. Bryan has outlived his usefulness,
the Democratic party has paid him pretty
we'll for his alleged prominence, and that
II is about time to turn TO some other states
man in the Democratic party's councils.
II has been pointed out IN TIE SUS that
Col. Bryan and his friends do not now con-
trol the Democratic National Committee
and that Senator James Kimhrough Jones
Of Washing on, Hernpstead county, Ark
the great man of the Round Cotton Bale
Trust, and Chairman Of the Democrat 10
National Committee, is to be defeated Tor
reelection to the United States Senate.
The Hon. Gum Shoe Bill (sometimes
he IL known as the Hon. William j. Stone)
OF Missouri il was said last night. has rather
turned his wal-eves toward the Hon. David
NJ Francis. II doesn't seem TO matter
very much with ex-Gov. Francis whether
the Hon. Gum Sloe Bill il with him or not
but never mind that: the Hon. Gum Snoe
was here the other night and that was the
idea people got who discussed Missouri
politics with him over pitcher of Bis
marck" What is Bismarck" Well, II
would be hard TO say what bismarck is;
but they do say that after you have drunk
a pitcher or two of Bismarck you are
ready to beseech the nails in your shoes to
rise up and call you blessed.
The talk about David Bennett Hill for
Governor is progressing on the ground
that il he wishes 10 be nominated for PreSi-
dent in 1904 he must take a gambler =
chance in carrying the State OF New York
this fall II MIR. Hill should be nominated
for Governor and defeat the Republican
candidate. Mr.. Hill would he the most
formidable candidate for the Democratic
Presidential nomination in 1901 While
the Hon. William C. Whitney Is having
very pleasant time in Aiken, s. G., II was
said last night by one Of his friends that
Mr.. Whitney j. not asleep politically, and
that there may he developments; and yet
il is hard to get Mr. Whitney interested
in these days over Democratic politics.
Mr.. Whitney, II was said last night, is
worth s75.D0,OOo and IL happy and cares
nothing for the struggles and riValries OF
State and '.-' ional politics.
BY he wy, the Hon. Lispenard Stewart,
the persoiiai friend of Senator Thomas {.
Plat bachelor and society man, clever
gent eman and former Republican State
Senator, will be nominal ed for Congress in
the Twelfth New York city district against
the Tammany Congressman, George h
Mcclellan. II was said last night that Mr..
Platt desires Mr.. Stewart 20 take this nomi-
nat ion.
