 Denver. July 2.-What is regarded as the very latest indication that Mir. Bryan does not contemplate changing his position on the injunction question to meet ideas of the conservatives" was brought to town by Frank S. Monnett, Republican attorney general of Ohio from 1896 to 1900. MT. Mon- nett was in conference with Mir. Bry- an at Lincoln. as the result of which he says he will have MT. Bryan's in- dorsement in appearing before the resolutions committee to state the legal and political reasons why the injunction plank should pledge the Democratic party to an amendment of the law in these three particulars:
 First, to prevent the issuing of the writ in industrial disputes except ! after notice to defendants and full hearing: second to permit trial before judge other than the one who is- sued the writ. and. third. to allow a jury to be summoned in all cases where the alleged contempt is commit ted outside the province of the court.
 The fact that Mir Bryan requested MT. Monnett to urge the acceptance of these propositions by the resolutions committee is taken by the Ohioan to mean that Mir. Bryan will be satisfied with nothing less.
 Vital Point of Issue.
 MT. Monnett, however, is of the opinion that, while the labor element of the country is asking for notice, jury trial and hearing before another court, the question of notice is the vital part of the issue. and that as- surance of this much of the demand by the Democrats would be more near ly satisfactory to labor than the declaration of the Chicago platform.
 The arrival in the city of the per. sonal representatives of Judge Gray and Governor Johnson, the only candi- dates who are now expected to enter the race against Bryan, has failed to disclose any common ground of agree ment between them.
 The Gray managers asserted that they had no intention of entering into a coalition with the followers of Gov ernor Johnson and had not received lures for a combination. The same disclaimer of a desire to pool issues was made by the Johnson people. They said that they had no other ob- jection in view but the nomination of Governor Johnson and intended to make their fight for that purpose only.
 This attitude which the Gray and Johnson people have assumed has led to considerable conjecture in regard to the vice presidential nomination. The followers of MT. Bryan profess to believe that the refusals of the Gray and the Johnson men to make a com bined fight against the strength of NIT. Bryan means that they are not averse to occupying positions in which they can avail themselves of Bryan votes for second place in the event of his nomination for the presidency. On this point, however. both Mir. Lynch, for Governor Johnson, and Mir. Mar vel. for Judge Gray. insist that the Bryan people are utterly fin the wrong. Their men. they say. are out for the first place and are giving no consider ation to the vice president.
