Western Populists. came from Buffalo to
Albany with Mr.. Bryan to-day and stopped
over to have talk with Judge Alton B.
Parker of the Court of Appeals
Mr.. Towne laid before Judge Parker the
Bryan point OF view of the political cit
uation and assured him that Mr.. Bryan's
recent declaration that the Kansas City
platform must be upheld by the next
Democfatic Convention should not be
taken too seriously.
What dc you think Of Bryan's assertion
that the Kansas City platform should re-
main unchanged?' was asked OF Mr..
Towne after his talk with Judge Parker.
Undoubtedly the principles of the plat-
form are all right" Mr. Toyne replied
cautiously. but do not think Mr.. Bryan
meant that the language should remain
absolutely unchanged. II seems to me con-
ceded that New York will have the candi-
date for President, although do not know
that this is final. I think we should 20
