THE BRYAN APPARlTi0N.

Saturday afternoon Manager
Ihmsen of the Hearst contingency
gave ont some very satisfactory re-
ports, and members of the talifor-
MIA delegation were heard to say
bOastlugly that if Hearst were not
nominated nobody would he.
The realization that Bryan would
WELD a powerful influence suddenly
entered the heads Of the delegates
Saturday night. Bryan had not
arrived. The memory of the sur
prislng strength which he showed
at Kansas City four years ago was
still lingering in their minds, and
the dispatches from Illinois, where
Bryan is taking n strong hand in
the Harrison. Hopkins factional
fights, showing that his strength,
if smaller, is still intact, caused
the most unfounded rumors to get
abroad.
1t was even tipped off to several
newspaper men by ardent Hearst
supporters that Bryan had secretly
come to town and was off in some
secluded residence sklllfuly and in
genuously forging gigantic
Hearst wedge which would split
the Parker boom from stem to
stern and cause the inglorious route
of David Bennett Hill, the man
who will be put forward by the
Parker people to do battle with
Bryan when the real action takes
place.
Bryan, together with the Hearst
faction, is figured to control over
one third of the delegates, although
so good n judge of politics as Sena-
tor Stone admitted to your CORES
pondent that Parker would possibly
have two-thirds of the delegates
with him when the convention
comes together Wednesday. Bry-
ans strength is apparently not
overestimated, and the possibility
of him throwing his energies in be-
half of some yet unmentioned can
didate is considered very probable
in case the convention is unable to
choose man. Another cross of
gold" speech is confidently expect

DARK HORSE FAvoRITES.

AT regular intervals during the

is spoken of. Favorite sons are
usually mentioned.
Joe Folk has at times been con q.
sidered available, but the more con.

pluck the fruit he has so spectacu- o.
larly won, the governorship of Mis-

All conditions and factions con

seems the most likely of them all.

the ne plus ultra, and whatever of
he Western support he would lose

would be made mp for in Eastern

The West, with the exception of
Missouri, does not want Francis,
but some of the Western delegates

vote for Richard Olney of New

Altogether the convention is big
with possibilities. 1t bids fair to
mark an era in the history of
American politics. The country,
Democrats and Republicans alike,
are awake to its possibilities, and
no one will be surprised at any
thing that may be done.
