and begged them TO stick TO their favor.
tie sons. He found little encouragement.
Those upon whom he depended broke away
by The score and went into the enemys
camp,
Buft Mr.. Bryan never admitted for an In.
stant that he was discouraged. He stood
pat Oh his statement Of Sunday night, and
fhis evening he issued this statement
There is nothing 70 add to the statement
that made on Sunday which described
the situation then. and which stu Exists.
JudaS Parker has made no substantMl
Gainb from those which were counted a.
against him. and the opposition has be-
come better crystalized. In 30 far as there
Is aby enthusiasm for Parker, 1t Is due TO
the belief that being the choice OF New
York, he oan carry the State and with the
STATE thes6buntry.
This c6Hfidence is being overcome by
Ahe protests OF the Democrats OF that part
.of New York which Is expected to furnish
Democratic votes. While the opposition
is not centralized upon any particular can
didate, 1t p an aggressive opposition and
likely to BE. recruited by accessions from
the Instructed States when it Is seen that
Parkbr canhot be nominated
The Hearst delegates form the larger
vehement OF the opposition, but Missouri
Ohio. Wisconsin. Massachusetts, and della.
ware have oanvassed their votes to md
them with 1t, and 1t will doubtless have
scstter3Ag outside support.
"The illinois contest. while IL was de-
cided for the Hopkins ticket. was really
victorysfor the contestants because 1t was
decidedson a question OF jurisdiction and
the contestants now have behind them the
unanimous report which declares IN eheot
that frauds were praotised In tho oonven-
ton. The contest will be renewed before
the credentials committee.
Mr.. Hopkins would like to have his op.
ponents win few more victories such
as that described by Col. Bryan.
There was great curiosity TO know the
result Of the meeting Of the Nebrsska dele
cation, for It was supposed that 1t would
result in knowledge a. to who was Bryans
candidate. The curious were doomed to
disappointment. Mr.. Bryan arranged 1t
% that the delegation would split up into
tidbits, each bit waiting for whom Mr.,
Bryan pleased. This Is the way the dele
CATION will probably split: Gray. Cockrell
and Towne, and possibly vote or two for
Pattison or Harmon.
How Bryan will personally vote was not
disclosed. He Is believed to be for Patti
son or ToWne. His plan Of campaign is
still to have the State delegations that have
favorite sons stick to those preferences, and
thus prevent Parker from getting the
necessary two-thirds.
Mr.. Bryan was elected by the Nebraska
delegation as its member Of the resolutions
committee. He has decided to make a
speech In the convention concerning the
platform. There will certainly be trouble
II he opposes the planks prepared for the
conservatives. They are just as willing
to scfap,as Mr.. Bryan is. ',,
