EEBRAsKAN HAS SUFFICIENT
NUMBER OF DELEGATES Piled
eED TO HIM.
Dozens ot Names Afe Being Mention

Hard to Preaiot VINO Will
Be Nominated.

enyer colo, July 6.-Eyerything g.
in readiness for the gathering OF
democrats in this city tomorrow
he convention promises to be one OF
YIhe largest held in many years and
the enthusiasm is intense.
Many delegations arrived in the city
TODAY a.td dozens of bands met them
AT the depots and escorted them TO
the various hotels, which are now all
well crowded. Several of the delega-
tions paraded the principal streets
today cheering for the various favor
ties and the scene, at <times, was an
unusually lively one.
There has been no change OF any
imnortance in reference to the presi-
dental candidate. The indications
b are that Bryan will be nominated on
the first ballot Those who have
studied the situation were free 10
state tonight that the Nebraskan had
sufficient number of votes pledged
tn him to receive the nomination on
the first ballot. The enthusiasm for
Bryan tonight was great and MS
na,nA seemed to be on the lips or eV-
cry delegate.
All efforts to spring something to
cause his defeat has failed. 1t IS
understood that caucus was heid
tsai.sht by all delegates who are OPP
posed to him, for the purpose OF de-
eading on some plan to fight his nom
inafon. but those who it was sad
nded the meeting refused to give
ANYTHING as to what was dope.
here has been more Johnson talk
4 than at any previous time, but
Minnesota governor has not the
est chance to win the nomina-
There is nothing to the Gray
= n. In fact, as has been predicted
along, Bryan is about the only
who seems to be in the running.
~ For Vice President.
here is as much doubt about the
presidential nominee as ever. Al
st every delegation arriving in the
starts a boom for some fayorite
and no one man seems to be very
ch in the lead Gray, of Delaware,
believed, could secure thet nGml-
ion. by he has stated positively
j he will net accept it. Lieuten-
Governor Chanler, of New York,
prominently mentioned and seems
have a big following. Ex-Governor
buglas, of Massachusetts,, is receiv-
|krlg the support of number of dele
gates from New England, and his
name will be presented to the conven-
ton. There are dozens being doomed
for the second place, but none OF
them seems to have lead.
1t was intimated tonight that after
Bryan was nominated he would be
requested to name his favorte as a
running mate and the convention will
more than likely name whoever he
suggests.
The work of nominating the two
candidates will hardly be reached be
fore Wednesday, afternoon or Thurs
day morning.
"Allies" Are Planning.
The chief interest of the day has
. conferred in the movement of the "al-
lies to galvanize the opposition to
Bryan into something like definite
and formidable movement. But their
j best efforts begun yesterday, have
not been entirely. successful. Chief
Murphy, of Tammany, on whom the
hopes of the "allies" have been cen
tered, will give no sign of committing
his forces against Bryan.
He is too shrewd a politician for
that, when the tide seems setting to-
ward Bryan. On the contrary, his
Iieutenants are passing the word
around today that New York's vote
will be for Bryan However, the al
lied opposition still contends that the
fight will be continued.
The Bryan managers have at nc
time shown any nervousness over the
renewed activities of the "allies," and
today Mayor Dahlman, of Omaha, one
Of the Bryan chiefs, made very
definite statement showing the expec
tations of the Bryan forces.
He expressed his views as follows:
"Mr. Bryan will be n9fninated or
