CONFERENCE YESTERDAY.

Tsggart is aware of all this, and appeal
ed to some of the chief Democrats outside
of New York to prevent this dethrone-
ment. Colonel James Guffey, of Pittsburg,
came to town. John P. Hopkins, chair
man of the Illinois State Committee; JAMES
K. Jones of Arkansas; ex-chairman Of the
National Committee, and National Com
mitteeman Roger @. Sullivan, accompan-
led Mr.. Gufey They went first to Mr..
Taggart's room and were closeted with him
for an hour. Then they went to Mr.. Shee'
hans room and remained long. MIR. Hop
kins is interested in the establishment of
Western headquarters, he wants 1t in his
city, and not at indianapolis, as Mr. Tag
CART would prefer.
Immediately after the conference Mr..
Taggart was asked if the question of a
Western headquarters was in fair way
toward settlement. "No, can't say that
it is" he replied.
On Tuesday Taggart announced that
the matter would be decided shortly, but
a change seems to have come over the stu
alton since.
Meanwhile funds are being collected
slowly, aud'the work of organization 10 the
doubtful States is tagging.
JONES TO HELP.
An Associated Press dispatch from New
York says:
Announcement was made at the Nation.
al Democratic headquarters that former
Senator James K. Jones, of Arkansas, who
was chairman of the National Commit ee
during the past eight years, will be connec-
ted with the committee in an advisory
capacity. He will not be assigned to any
special work or department, but 1t is ex'
pected that he will come to New York and
remain where be can be consulted and give
counsel as to bis experience. General
Walsh, of Iowa, who was secretary Of the
old committee, and j. G. Johnson, of Kan
sss, who was chairman of the Executive
Committee during the last campaign, have
been placed in charge of departments at
national headquarters. The statement is
made that these gentlemen have come here
at the request of Chairman Tag9art.
Messrs. Jones, johnson and Walsh were
the active managers Of the campaign of
1900, and Mr.. Bryan bad no warmer sup
porters in the party than they. Among
those who were adherents of Bryan at st.
Louis, none were more prominent than
johnson and Walsh.
Further announcement is made that
Colonel James NJ. Guffy, of Pennsylvania.
member of the executive Committee, will
be at headquarters next week and give bis
time and attention to politics until the end
of the campaign.
1t was stated by an official at head
quarters today that the members of the Ex-
ecutive Committee decided to bring the
old campaign managers into active service
because there had been criticism among
| Bryan men that tue whole management OF
the campaign had been turned over to the
gold Democrats or those who had not sup
ported the presidential nominee in two
elections.

BELMONT AFTER
HIS SCALP
Would Like 10 Knife Tassart and Take
Control Himself.
COMMITTEE IN A DEADLOCK.
Announced That James X. Jones Will
Give Advice During Campaign.

New York, September 2.-August Be-
mont's ambition to be known az the doml-
nant power In the Democratic National
Committee is said 10 be at the bottom Of
the paralysis that seems to have seized this
body. Chairman Taggart, who would be-
come a mere subaltern if Belmont's ambi-
ton were realized, is fighting for political
existance, and the National Committee is
in deadlock.
Belmont's plan is reported to be the es-
tablishment of branch headquarters in
the West, with Taggart in charge. The
main headquarters here be would leave un'
der the joint control of himself and William
F. Sheehan. The Western branch would
be dependant on Eastern headquarters for
funds. AS threat to compel compliance,
Belmont is said to hold the refusal of Wall
Streets support. Belmont is being aided
in bis purpose, it is said, by the editorial
attitude Of one New York Democratic
new spaper, which has belttled the work
of Taggart.

EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.

The Washi ngton correspondent of the
Richmond Times Dispatch, under date of
September lst., reports that ]. Taylor Ell
Tyson, chairman of the Democratic party
in Virginia in an interview III that city
said: 81 am satisfied that Colonel Slemp
will be defeated unless certain thing oc-
curs." He concluded by saying: II do not
expect that thing to occur. II will not tell
YOU what It is." We have been asked
what we thought Mr.. Ellyson was referring
to; and the only thing we could think of was
that he was planning that the sharp schemes
be usually sets on foot when he comes to
this district might not fail of accomplish
ment. Mr.. Ellyson knows this district
cannot be carried by the Democrats at an
honest election.
1t is now believed that the Democrats
have abandoned all hope of electing Park
er, and will direct all their efforts to elect
ing, if possible, majority of the House
of Representatives. We hardly think
they can succeed in that, but If they do it
will be very unfortunate. They would in
that way block any needed legislation,
and, perhaps, seriously affect the business
interests of the country. In other words
they would do all they could to produce
the calamitous conditions they would try
to use for their own interests after they
came
