few men in Tammay hall have been
saying that Leader Murphy was BOOM
ing Cleveland for the sole purpose of
preventing the delegates from this
state from being instructed for Judge
Parker. The same men have said that
at the right moment in the national
convention the name of Mcclellan
would be presented as a candidate for
the nomination for president. Bryan
has not seen Tammany Leader Murphy
during any of his recent visits to this
city.
The last time he was here Murphy
went to Atlantic City and Washington.
Mr.. Bryan left town for the west this
noon, after a strenuous but unsuccess-
full attempt had been made by Nation
al Committeeman Norman E. Mack to
Bring Bryan and David B. Hill together
1t was generally understood that this
attempt was made in the interests of
Judge Alton B. Parker, whom Hill and
his friends believe should be the next
democratic presidential candidate.
After wrestling in vain with Hill and
Bryan, Mack confessed that the two
are as far apart as ever.
| 1t was whispered about the hotel this
morning that the Parker boomers had
sent for Bryan in a hurry, TO see if
they could not get together to check
the Cleveland boom. At any rate, Mr..
Mack sounded Mr.. Bryan very thor
oughly al breakfast this morning.
The pair sat at a retired table and
talked earnestly over the coffee cups
for one hour, Mr. HILL meanwhile, was
so fearful of jumping into Mr.. Bryan
i'm the corridor that he had breakfast
served in his room.
Mr. Bryan told Mr. Mack emphati-
cally that he was committed to no can
didate, and was not willing at the
present time to lend himself and his in
fluence to any particular BOOM" Mr..
Bryan said that he would insist, how
ever, on reaffirmation at st. Louis of
the. Kansas City platform. with the
free silver plank. He did not believe,
however. he told Mr. Mack. in making
the silver issue paramount, He de-
clared that ii had not been paramount
in 1900. Mr.. Bryan, 1t is said added
that his tour through the south had
convinced him more than ever that
the sentiment of the democracy
throughout the country favored the re-
affirmation of the Kansas City plat
form.

y writ OF haDeaS corpus ad sublicien-
dun was this morning issued by Judge
Mason directing Evan Giles to deliver

agents OF the West Virginia Humane
Society his daughters. Bertha and Bes-
sic. A hearing was set for September

Some time ago the society wanted
the children, but Giles refused to give
them up. It is claimed that he does
not care for them as he should. The
society was given possession OF the
children this morning. and they claim
a clear ease of neglect and cruelty can
be proven against him, and that for
many reasons he is a man utterly unfit
TO have the custody of children. This
man Giles has gained a great lee of
