til their guilt had been established by
legal inquiry, and as, therefore, favor
ing the insertion of a plank expressing
Thu view and in the interest of justice
and fair play.
Those who agree with him contend
that such an expression could not be
properly construed as in n way an
expression on the race question and
they contend that it would be in the in
terest of good politics as well.
The probable opposition of Southern
delegates is fully recognized, and 1t Is
considered doubtful whether, after
mature deliberation, there will be any
determined effort on behalf of the reso-
luton.
The latest arrivals from Lincoln
bring the information that in his draft
of a plank regarding the writ OF IN
junction in labor disputes, which con-
tinues the crucial point of discussion,
Mr.. Bryan is adhering to the lines laid
down in the Nebraska platform, re-
curing notice to defendants and hear
ing by the courts, requiring that in
junction trial. shall be conducted by
some Judge other than the author OF
the writ, and permitting juries in GER
tain other cases. But there are already
suggestions of compromise.
The conservatives are especially hold-
ing out against the sweeping require
ments for notice, and many of Mr..
Bryan's best friends are inclined to be
of the opinion that his views would
carry the convention farther than it
possibly could go or this point.
The Labor Injunction.
Many notifications have already
been suggested, and it is known that
some of these have been brought to
the attention of the Nebraskan. The
latest of these suggestions look to a
change In the notice clause, so as to
permit the issuance of injunction fwrits
in labor controversies without notice in
cases of great emergency, but requiring
that a time limit be fixed and provid-
ing for notice n hearing second
presentation of the subject to the
courts. 1t Is very evident that If some
modification Is not to be obtained the
plank will be bitterly fought in com
mittee, and probably on the floor of the
convention.
The arrival today of John w. Kerns,
of Indiana, marked the coming of the
second of the vice-presidential candi-
dates, Mr.. Towne being the first. Mr..
Kerns's candidacy has received much
attention, and Chairman Taggart, of
the national committee, contends that
his nomination is among the strong
probabilities.
Mr.. Towne has been on the ground
for "a hours, and while he has given
most OF his time to meeting old friends,
he has seen a number of delegates, and
has received many assurances of inter-
est in his campaign. His friends out
side of New York appreciate, however,
that much viii depend upon his getting
the full support of the delegation from
that State. If New York crystallizes
for him he will be a formidable candl-
date in case it becomes evident that
Judge Gray will decline If nominated.
With the exception of Burton Harri-
son, Towne is now practically the only
New York candidate, as Mr.. Stanch-
field, like Mr.. Chanler, seems to have
been eliminated from the running.
There will be many Republican spec
tators at the convention, and among
them United States Senator Burrows,
of Michigan, who presided over the re-
cent Republican convention at chicago.
One Woman Delegate.
Il shall look on the proceedings OF
the Democratic convention with much
interest," he said, and added: Il have
never had the pleasure of attending a
national convention of any party other
than my own"
Asked what expression he thought
should be made with reference to the
death of e~x-President Cleveland, Mr..
Burrows replied tina he would not UNI
dertake to say, but" he added, Il do
not see how they can refuse so great a
man, and so pronounced a Democrat, a
strong testimonial"
Among other visitors expected Is Mrs.
Alice ROOSEVELT ongworth, who, hav-
ing witnessed the proceedings of the
Republican convention, has expressed a
desire to attend the Democratic meet
ing also. She and other fair sex visi-
tors from outside States will receive,
marked attention from the ladies' of
Denver.
The Jane Jefferson Club, of which
Mrs. Ruth Bryan-Leavitt, daughter of
W. ]. Bryan, is president, is preparing
elaborate headquarters, at which rest
rooms will be provided and refresh
ments served, and other organizations
will follow suit.
Colorado and Utah have each elected
a woman delegate-at-large" to the
Democratic national convention-Mrs.
