four money winners. This. ii is believed,

BRYAN SWATS CLEVELAND.
DenOunces His Party Ideap-B0Om for
Carter Harrison for President.

CHICAGO, July lS.--Grover Cleveland and
his ideas Of Democracy were denounced
by William J. Bryan at the picnic of the
Chicago Democratic Club at Brands Park
to-day. Mr.. Bryan asserted that only by
repudiating Cleveland's Administration was
ii possible for the Democrats to make a
campaign in 1893, and he added that the
greatest menace to the party lay In the
possibility of return to the conditions
that prevailed from 1892 to 1895.
Mr. Cleveland seemed to be without
friends at the picnic, which was supposed
to be gathering Of leaders from States
In the Middle West. The men from Mis-
souri,, Michigan, Wisconsin and Iowa had
not good word for the Princeton states-
man. ID. r. Lawler Of Minnesota said
Cleveland had many friends in that State,
but this was the limit of the friendliness
toward Cleveland. 1t was decidedly an
anti-Cleveland assemblage
Mayor Harrison was mentioned as a pos
sible candidate for President by d. r. Lawler
OF Minnesota who referred to him as Presi-
dental timber, and in an interview said no
was for Harrison for the nomination c. A.
Walsh of Iowa, secretary Of the Democratic
National Committee, sent speech, which,
in the original draft, came out squarely
for Harrison for President, but as amended
at the Mayors request it left only an I'M
avoidable inference that the Iowa man would
like to support the Chicago Mayor for
President.
The picnic was the first demonstration
by the Chicago Democratic Club. the Harri-
son organization formed in opposition
and rivalry to the Chicago Democracy,
which followed the fortunes of Robert
E. Burke in the contest last spring. Grand
Marshal A. C. Arson rode at the head Of
column Of SIT men in the club parade
