James X Jones. Chairman IF the DEM

the Jefferson Hotel. He said no def
mite arrangements for the organization

day He. however advocates the seiec-
ton of Hon. John Sharp Williams of
Mississippi. leader or the minority in
the House for the position of tempo
rary chairman and there is now little
or no doubt that the selection will fan
upon Mr.. Williams.

probably go to some Northern delegate
and Hon. Thomas E Rarkworth Of
Michigan and Hon. Patrick A Collins
of Massachusetts, are mentioned in that
connection The double committee on
arrangements for the convention will
hold meeting tomorrow but it is not
expected that it will make any recon-

DENIED BY MCLEAN.
Says He Does Not Desire the NOmi-
nation of Cleveland.

Washington, July, John r. Nc
Lear is emphatic in his contradiction
of the reports which have been given
general circulation of late to the eff
fact that he favored the nomination of
Mr.. Cleveland to the Presidency.
He stated to an intimate friend, a
business man of this city. today that
he did not want to see Mr.. Cleveland
made the nominee and that the inter
views purporting to haye come from
him regarding the presidential situa-
tion were false as he had not talked
with any newspaper man for some
time
Mr. German said at one time today
that he did not expect to attend the
st. Louis convention. This afternoon
he said he would remain at home and
tonight he said that he thoug..- he
would attend the convention. His
movements are in some doubt, but he
will probably go to St Louis.

TALK OF PLATFORM.
Matter May BE Left to German and
Williams.

Williams.
st. Louis. July Longer in advance
than usual the platform question is re-
ceiving the serious consideration of
delegates and others interested in the
party and 1T is already evident that
there will be a persistent effort to Sc
cure an expression of party views which
will meet the approval of all factions.
I'VE must get a pronouncement
which will meet the demands of all
Democrats" said Representative Clay
ton of Alabama. .'and 1 believe it is go
ing to be a comparatively easy mat
ter to accomplish that result"
Other party leaders on the ground
expressed themselves in like optimistic
terms but when they entered upon a
comparison of views 1t became evident
that there are differences which will
have to be smoothed down before the
desired result can be secured
Evidently the principal contention
will be over the point as to whether
there shall be a specific declaration
favorable to the affirmation of the
principles enunciated in the platform
of 1896 and 1900. There is already
strenuous contention as to whether
there shall be any reference whatever
to those two declarations and there
are many shades of views as to how
the subject should be covered.
Delegates who are close to Mr.. Bryan
want a reaffirmation in terms but
some of them are content to say that
while making the -reassertion they
consider other and newer claims bet
ter. and are willing to give more prom
inence to them. Others take the po-
sition that 1t would be invidious to
mention the Chicago and Kansas City
utterances and that 1t will be sufficient
to reaffirm the principles enunciated by
all previous Democratic conventions
and then pass to the consideration of
newer questions. A third class would
have all reference to previous party
declarations entirely omitted.
Some express the opinion that the
preparation of the platform will be
left almost entirely to Senator Cor
man and Representative Williams the
Democratic leaders in the two houses
of Congress.
1t is generally believed that the
character of the platform will have a
marked influence upon the Presiden-
tial nomination and as only majority
vote is required for its adoption, its ex-
act wording will be awaited with much
interest.
