COMMITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS
HobsOn Appeals for Warships-GOm-
pers for Anti.InjunctiOn.

The committee on resolutions of
the Democratic national convention
did not report to the convention
Wednesday. Immediately after be-
ing called to order the platform
committee of the Democratic national
convention proceeded to carry out the
wishes of Bryan by electing Governor
Haskell. of Oklahoma, chairman. The
committee then decided to entrust the
details of the preparation of the plat
form to subcommittee of seventeen
members to be appointed by the chair;
but before these appointments were
announced the full committee listened
to arguments in support of various
planks which will be offered for adop-
ton. Many subjects were brought
before the committee, but two of the
most interesting were navy increase
and anti-injunction.
Richard Pearson HobsOn, of Alaba-
ma, presented the plea for the increase
of the navy, and in doing so declared

Claims of Anti. Bryanites.

The anti-Bryan forces who are IN
Denver claim 346 votes on the first bal
lot. This would prevent the nominal
ton of Bryan on that ballot. This was
the statement given out by the cor
called 'allies" WHO are fighting the Ne
braskan. Despite the apparently over
wnelming control of the convention
lodged in the hands of Mr.. Bryan and
his friends, the "allies" took more
optimistic view of the situation than
for some time.

that this war would take place during
the next presidential administration,
and the Democratic party would be
held responsible for the result. He de-
clared that Japan is covetous not of
the Philippines alone, but of Hawaii
and our own Pacific coast country.
Hobson said that he based his state
ments upon inside information.
Samuel Gompers presented the case
for an anti-injunction plank, going over
the same line of argument he used at
Chicago, where he said: 'We asked for
bread and received a stone" He asked
the Democrats to "either leave the sub
ject entirely out of the platform or

BRYAN TIDE SWEEPS ON
Ants Are Hoping the Guffey Contro-
versy Will Help Them.

The tide of Bryan sentiment
sweeps on and the chorus of "Bry-
an, Bryan" is well nigh universal.
With it is steadily swelling undercur-
rent for the nomination of George
Gray, of Delaware, as vice president,
and this movement-at first intangible
has now assumed defniteness
which promises to merge it soon with
the seemingly overwhelming current
moving toward Bryan.
The opponents of Bryan are still
seeking to unite their strength against
him, with the hope of ultimately ac-
complishing his defeat, and they have
seized with avidity upon an incident
in the convention when the credentials
committee was announced. When
names were called for, Pennsylvania
presented two sets of men representing
the two contesting factions. Ollie
James, of Kentucky, voicing the Bry-
an sentiment, endeavOred to refer the
fight to the credentials committee.

CLEVELAND RESOLUTIONS
Judge Parker Does the Graceful Thing
Relative Thereto.

When the time came in the con-
vention at its opening session to take
action relative to the death of Grover
Cleveland, two men tried to get the eye
Of the chairman. One was IgnatiuS j.
Dunn, of Nebraska; the other was AL
ton B. Parker, of New York. 1t goes
without saying that Dunn was recog-
nized, and he offered resolutions writ
ten by Bryan men. The chief speaker
on these resolutions was Ex-Governor
Frances, of Missouri, one of the sur
viving members of the Cleveland cabi-
net. At the conclusion of his short
speech, there were shouts of Parker,

Judge Parker was prevailed upon to
mount the platform where, with reson-
ant voice, he read his own resolutions
of tribute to Cleveland, closing with a
tactful concession to the Bryan forces
by seconding the resolutions presented
to them. Governor Francis tribute to
his old chief breathed the spirit of per-
sonal association and deep admiration.

HARMONY IN CONVENTION
Parker's Graceful Retreat Touches
Sensi biIities of Delegates.


The harmonious procedure of the
convention the opening day is the
talk of Denver. 1t has served to
rouse the greatest possible enthusiasm
in the rank and file, grown accustomed
to, and likewise tired of, seeing their
party leaders at loggerheads during the
last twelve hours.
The graceful retreat of Alton B. Par,
ker, in seconding the Cleveland resOlu,
tons, after being ignored by Chairman
Bell when he sought to introduce reso-
lutions of his own, and the plea for
harmony by David r. Francis, of Mis-
souri,, former secretary of the interior
in Grover Cleveland's last cabinet, both
touched the sensibilities of the dele
gates deeply. 1t has sOftened the
Bryan men, who are nevertheless on
the alert that insidious poison shall not
be injected into the platform or dead
~ weight be added to their candidate
as a running mate. They have lost
their disposition to apply steam-roller
tactics, however, unless the other fell
low starts the trouble first.
William Jennings Bryan will get the
platform he wants from the Denver
convention. With only slight changes
IN the verbiage of certain planks It has
been promised him by the leaders Of
the Democratic party, and they are en-
deavoring to keep faith with him.

manent telegraph office established in
a cottage in close proximity to the
Bryan home for convention purposes a
special wire was run to his Office, and
at his desk, near which the telegraph
operator had been placed, Bryan spent
most of his time until the Denver con-
vention adjourned.
To persistent inquiries as to whether
he would go to the Denver convention
Bryan stated that at present he had
no thought of doing so, and knew of no
contingency which might arise to take
him to Denver. "You cannot tell what
the future will bring forth" said he,
"but l know now of nothing which
will take me to the convention city"
Bryan watched the convention bUlle-
tins closely, and those reporting occa-
sions which brought forth applause
from the big Denver gathering were
read with evident satisfaction and con-
tented SMILES, but not with looks of
surprise.
News from the convention did not
prevent him. however, from taking a
deep interest in the harvesting of his
alfalfa crop, and he viewed with deep
concern the prospect of its being gar
nered before another rain should come.
Patrick Ryan, who devotes his time to
making the Bryan farm productive, be-
gan moving the alfalfa, while two
other hands raked it into haycocks. A
large, sweet, juicy Guadaloupe Tri-
umph' watermelon is on its way from

Old Glory Is Everywhere.

For two hours or more the people
lucky enough to have tickets had been
streaming into the hall to find their
seats. Those who came first and got
seated looked for a time like animated
cases in a wilderness of chairs. But
the spaces filed rapidly, the operation
of seating the people going on to the
strains of music from bands stationed
at different points in the great audi,
forum. Describe the scene? That is
impossible unless columns were devot-
ed to that purpose. OF course the ma
tional ensign had the chief place in
the decorations. 1t hung f1uttering in
the breeze from the lofty roof; it hung
lfestocned around the balconies; it
draped the open spaces of the walls;
it waved ia the hands of everybody.
