Alabama, Georgia, North and

Representatives say it is time
for Mr.. Bryan to stand aside and
let the Democratic party pass.
The veteran Senator Morgan, of
Alabama, declares that Bryan is
"a dead politician, and has no
license to tell Democrats who
were in harness before he voted
what their duty is. Dozens of
southern members used the
words: Free silver is dead"

10 to /. Senator Newlands, who
was member of the platform
committee in 1900 and whose
vote kept in the Kansas City
platform the reafirmation of the
Chicago platform, now throws
the Nebrasakan overheard.
There are thirty-three Demo-
Gratis in the senate and 176 in the
house of representatives. The
Herald correspondent saw 1914.
OF these, sixty-four declared
against Mr.. Bryan's self imposed
leadership; four said they were
for doing what Mr.. Bryan is adj
vising; thirty-nine declined to ex-
press an opinion.
Many of those who preserve
silence in the poll privately said
that they would oppose the in
lection of the Chicago and Kan
sas City platforms into the plat
form of 1904. Others of the sill
ent thirty-three are known to be
opposed TO Mr.. Bryan's leader
ship. They are simply afraid to
say so.
SOME AFRAID OF BRYAN,
This reveals remarkable con-
dltion. It shows that while the
Democrats in congress are not
afraid of Mr.. Bryan in the con-
yention, they are afraid of him at
the polls. Some of these men
frankly said that so long as Mr..
Bryan was ignored he would be a

New York-The New York
Herald says:
: Free silver is dead. So is
William ]. BRYAN, as an impor-
tant factor in the next Democra-
tic convention. This was dis
closed today, when the Herald
caused the Democratic members
of congress to be interviewed on
Mr.. Bryan.
They were especially question
ed about the dictum laid down by
Mr.. Bryan in recent interviews
and speeches that the Chicago
and Kansas City platforms must
be reaffirmed at st. Louis and
that the "reorganizers" of the
party must be kept at the rear
because, having bolted the ticket
when he was the candidate, they
are not to be considered, as
Democrats.
Democrats from all over the
union declared that the party
would not follow Mr.. Bryan's
leadership. They are looking
for live issues, and not dead
ones, and they say sixteen to
one" is as dead as a smoked
herring.
These views are expressed,
not only by Democrats of the
east, but by represe-:: tatives and
senator's who sin cerely believed in
Mr.. Bryan and loyalty supported
him in his two i'll starred cam.
paigns. The south is very gen.
orally against Mr.. Bryan.

from Is to IS inches wide. This property
was formerly worked and owned by the
late Joseph Fleiss, but since his death
the boys have worked the mine. 1t is
situated 10 splended district, being just
below the Williams and close to the JUS
tice vein, in n section through which
large Number Of veins run and cross one
another, and there should be large
body Of ore close in there somewhere
The boys have given thirty days op-

Ar. ested ior Forgery

On Tuesday morning an elderly but
well preserved man OF about so years of
age went into Jenkins, Mckay * Co.'s
store and purchased few articles, pre-
senting check for s35 in payment
thereof. 1t was accepted by the clerk
and the change given the man. He
then went TO tho New York Store and
did the same, receiving in retusn his
change, and from there went to Philips
Ebli & Co. where he repeated the per-
formance. He had thus secured about
Sl05, and all would have went well, but
Mr.. Jenkins arriving at the store noticed
the check and took it to the First Nat
ional bark, where upon little investi-
cation it was proven TO be a swindle as
the check was no good. Soon after
checks from the New York Store and
Phillips arrived. They were made out
to "Will III. Thomas" and signed by ED
Vine," and were drawn on the Centra
Saving Bank of Denver.
Sheriff Cody was notified and within
fifteen minutes had found the man in
Bass barber shop, where he was getting
shaved. He took him to tha court house
and upon examination found $40 upon
him. He was locked up in Jail. He re-
fuses to state his name and from whence
he came. He will probably have pre-
