Many Conferences Held.
Shortly after the New York dele
CATION arrived there were many con-
ferences. The last one was in Muir
phys rooms. Everybody was worried
about the situation and nobody was
willing TO move until things are found
out. While the New Workers were
busy comforting. they were visited by
Mayor James Dahlman. OF Omaha. the

Mr.. Bryan wishes a plank that

He also wants a plank that will
mean the declaration Of the gov

Another plank which is abso-

What happened to Alton B. Parker
when he reached Denver was a shame.

gies for his Cleveland memorial rest

after practically retracting. was COM
PEELED TO listen 90 comments which

Parker had this to say:

Democratic party OF the great service

1T seemed to some members OF the |
New York delegation that such resolu-
tons should be presented TO the con-
vention and peculiarly fitting that
they should emanate from the state
from which he served SO well as gov
ernor and which gave lhim 70 the

honored statesmen.

OF my associates, and l do not hest.
