BRYANITE WOUNDS SALVED.
Confident ANNOUNCEMENT BY
TAGGART THAT Ais WE'LL.
Jim Jones Is to Get q GRANDPA theriy Job
in the National Committee. and Joe
johnson Has Been Provided For
Now All the Bryan Chorus VIII Sing.

With great deal OF ostentatious glee
the announcement was made yesterday
at Democratic national headquarters that
ex-senator James X. Jones OF Arkansas,
who was chairman Of the Democratic ma
tional committee from 1893 until the recent
election OF Thomas Taggart, had sent word
to the committee that not only did he favor
the election OF Judge Parker but that he was
anxious to prove his sincerity by being
assigned to do some active work for the
managers OF Judge Parker's campaign
Mr.. Taggart, IL was said, sent word to Sena-
tor Jones that his offer would be accepted
with gratitude.
Mr.. Jones will be asked TO ally himself
with the national committee in some ad-
visory capacity. The job to be given to
him will make him believe that he Is part
OF the Democratic national machine. 1t Is
not 80 much his services as his influence
which is wanted by the national COM
mittee.
The promise made by William j. Bryan
that he would give to the Parker campaign
az much time as he could spare has seemed
to Its managers to have a mighty long
string on 1t, especially after the announce
ment made by Melvin @. Palliser one OF
Mr.. Bryan's closest friends In this city.
that he intended to vote for Watson because
he did not think Parker q Democrat Mr..
Taggart and some others up at the Demo-
cratic national headquarters have been
inclined to doubt that Mr.. Bryan would
make good.
But everything Is considered lovely, now
that ex-Chairman Jones has asked TO be put
In harness.
/. Mr.. Taggart also announced yesterday
with great satisfaction that Joseph G.
johnson OF Kansas had been appointed
to a responsible place on the national COM
mittee. Mr. johnson was chairman OF the
national executive committee In 1895 and
1900 and this year was actively engaged in
drumming up delegates for Hearst. With
the introduction of Messrs. Jones and john
son to places on the national committee,
following the appointment - few days ago
OF Charles A. Walsh OF Iowa, ex-secretary
OF the committee, 1t is felt that any posi-
bility OF lukewarmness on the part OF the
Bryanites In working for the election OF
Judge Parker has been prevented.
The diplomacy which has brought about
all this harmonizing OF interests Is uni
versally attributed, like most Of the sue
cess the national campaigners have achieS ed
30 far, to August Belmont Since he
opened his desk at national headquarters
Mr.. Belmont has brought about several
matters which have tended to harmonize
Democratic factions, and it b admitted
that one OF the most fruitful OF his efforts
TO this end will be the bringing Of the
Bryan leaders to practical work for the
election Of Judge Parker.
Last night MIR. Taggart confidently made
this statement: william r. Hearst and his
newspapers will participate with energy and
zeal in the campaign for the Democratic
ticket. l have received assurances from
Mr.. Hearst that he will aid the Democratic
ticket in every way and that he will also
bring to our aid the cooperation Of the
National Association Of Democratic Clubs,
of which he Is the president"
