Bars Burned School Site.

Cleveland, July S.--The injunction
OF the Common Pleas Court restrain
ing the Collingwood Board of Educa-
ton from erecting a new schoolhouse
on the site of where 164 children
lost their lives will stand until fur
ther order. Judge Keeler has de-
cided that he would not grant mo-

the injunction.
The Board chose the old site and
let the contract said Judge Keeler.
Their proceedings were in legal
form. but find that they violated
the discretion reposed in board
acting for the public benefit.
"A large part OF the Collingwood
public has horror of seeing children
pay where the bodies of other chill
dren were burned. The board can
find vacant property in the vicinity Of
the old site. 1t was indiscreet in
choosing the old site in face of the
violent objection"

CLEVELAND TRIBUTE A BOMB.
parkcr's Resolution Regarded as At
tempt to Stir up Strife.

Denver, July 9.-The publication OF
Alton b. Parker's resolution OF trib-
ute to the memory of the late Grover
Cleveland has acted like the explo-
sion of a bomb shell in the midst OF
the Bryan followers. and they have
at once taken steps to head on its
introduction in the convention. They
charge that the proposed introduce
tion of the resolution is a deliberate
attack on Mr.. Bryan and intended to
stir up bitter factional strife.
To squelch the Parker resolution
the friends of the Nebraskan have
determined to offer a resolution OF
a character designed not to raise con-
t~overted political issues. The reso-
luton is denounced by such Bryan
leaders as Mayor James G. Dahlman
OF Omaha, and Judge M. e. Wade OF
iowa, the member of the National
Committee from that State. They
state that its adoption would be a
direct slap at Bryan. and insist that
in giving 1t out for publication the
New York delegation intended to dis
parage the Nebraska candidate.
The portions OF the resolution
which particularly aroused the Ire OF
the friends of Mr.. Bryan relate to
Mr.. Cleveland's record on the ques-
tion of maintaining the integrity Of
the courts and finances, the para
graphs being as follows:
HE respected the integrity of our
courts and so insisted upon strict en-
forcement Of the law that every hon.
est man or interest might be protect
co and all offenders punished without
fear or favor.
He maintained the public credit
and honor, stood firm as rock in de-
fence of sound principles of finance,
and resisted dangerous economic doc
trines and practices left by the Re-
publican party as a heritage of our
people"
1t was said by Mayor Dai.nan that
these expressions are but thinly veil
ed attacks upon Mr.. Bryan and his
we'll known attitude upon the ques-
tion of adopting an anti-injunction
plank. and his position in 1896 and
1900 on the money question.

Guffey Answers Bryan

Denver, Co., July 7.-Col. Ja mes
n. Guffey, National Committeeman
from Pennsylvania, accused by Will
Lam J. Bryan of party treachery in a
speech 1t his home on the Fourth of
July, made a sensational reply to the
attack. The issuance of The state
ment means Guffey's defeat by the
convention.
Mr.. Guffey calls Bryan an migrate
and one of the worst bosses the par
ty has produced. He say that the
late Marcus DAILY, the Montana Cop
per King; William r. Hearst and
himself furnished the necessary
funds for carrying out Bryans two
previous campaigns. After Hearst had
not only supplied money for the 1900
campaign, but given Bryan the ben
eft of wide publicity, Mr.. Guffey says
lie turned against this benefactor in
1904, but that he Is now fawning
upon him. Marcus Daily, he re-
marks, died too early for a display Of
ingratitude.
This statement was issued after
Guffey had conferred with ex-State
Chairman Donnelly, Thomas J. Ryan.
and several intimate associates on
the National Committee. 1t is the
first open assault the reactionaries
lave dared to make against Bryan. 1t
means that Bryan and Guffey have
locked arms in an uncompromising
war.

Delegates and Sightseers
Seem to Come from Close
to the Soil.
HOTEL LOBBIES FULL
Majority of the Delegates Look Much
More Like Populists Than Demo-
Gratis - The Farmer Element
Everywhere Distinguishapie-
Number of Women Attend.

Denver. Col, July Sin appear
ance this Is Populist convention.
rne majority of the delegates look
much more like Populists than like
the Democrats of eight and twelve
years ago.
Very naturally the crowd here had
to stand comparison with the crowd
at the Republican National Conven-
ton in Chicago two weeks ago. The
men here are less prosperous looking
than those who gathered in Chicago.
They more obviously represent the
masses. The farmer element is
everywhere distinguishable. The ma
jority of the delegates come from
close to the soil and they look II.
Furthermore, taken rs Il whole,
the delegates here are older than
were those at Chicago, and in fact
they appear older than those who at
tended the Democratic conventions
OF four and eight years back. The
women, and there are considerable
number of them here, too, are the
wives of farmers, small merchants.
middle class artisans. Nearly all are
simple folks. The contras, between
the two conventions finds It's most
striking feature in the individual
characteristics of the delegates.
All this, of course, does not apply
to the leaders or the delegates from
the large cities, such as New York and
Chicago. The leaders are no;iceably
better dressed than the average.
They, too, are pointed out. and their
names are whispered as they pass
by, comment, generally laudatory be-
ing added. The delegates from the
larger cities, easily distinguishable
because of their cl l1thes are apparent
ly held in some awe by the multitude.
Most of them don't seem to like the
distinction. They travel in groups
of three or four, and If left alone for
few minutes are obviously Ill at
ease.
Nearly every one here wears a
badge. Some of the badges are OF
cheap variety, signifying only the
choice of some particular candidate
for Vice President. Several of the
delegates from the middle Western
States, have badges bearing the pic
ture OF Bryan. Others of the dele
gates wear badges that may have
cost considerable money. Perhaps
the best is the Iowa badge with its
corncob top in green and gold and its
state seal pendant at the end of the
red, white, and blue ribbon.
Kansas OF course, is represented by
the suntlower, and its delegates
badges are great big ribbons with silk
suniiowers at the top.
In fact, there is great deal more
interest in the music and the badges
and the singing and the cheering
than there is in the politics of the
convention, with which the majority
of the delegates have little or moth
ing to do-a condition for which they
seem extremely grateful.
