NEGRO Questions May Bob UP.
The negro question may come to the
front in the convention. "A report has
reached Denver that Bryan would be
pleased to see Incorporated In the
platform a u.ebule to the administra-
n tion for the dismissal OF colored troops
On account Of the Brownsville, Tex,
affair, but the southerners who are on
the field are by no means friendly to
the idea. As the story goes, Bryan has
been recently visited by representa-
tiyes of the negro race, who have as
sureds him that very slight denuncia-
tfon OF the course of the administra-
tion in that matter would insure thou

second vice presidential candidate, Mr.
Towne being the first. Kern's candi-
dacy has received much attention and

committee, contends his nomination is
among the strong probabilities Towne
has been on the ground for twenty
four hours and has received many as
surances OF interest in his campaign.
His friends outside New York appre-
ciate. however, that much will depend
upon his f,etting the full support of
the delegation from that state. If New
York crystalizes for him he will be
formidable candidate, in case it be-
comes evident that Judge Gray will
decline If nominated.
