IT is GOOD POLITICS

Denver, July 6.-An interesting echo
from Lincoln has reached here to the
effect that Mr.. Bryan has received ia
vorably the suggestion that the recent
pronounced antagonism that the recent
men to Governor johnson of Minnesota
shall be offset by the intimation that
In the event of Mr.. Bryan's election he
will invite Johnson to take a place in
his cabinet. One of the many visitors
to Mr.. Bryan who is now here, has
pointed out to him that the marked an
tagonism to Johnson might ALLEVIATE
the influential Scandinavian element
with which the governor of Minnesota
is identified by birth and association.
Mr.. Bryan did not relish the idea
of playing politics." but at the same
time. it is said. he received the sug-
gestion. with considerable favor and
that If the matter could be freed from
interested motives and political ex-
pediency he would be inclined to let
II be understood that Johnson would
be favorably considered if the occasion
arises to form a Bryan cabinet.

for Second Place OH the Ticket He
Could Easily Have the Place IF He
Would Take 1t. He Persists, How
ever. in Saying That He Must Have
First Place or None.
Judge Gray's name will be pre-
Handy" said Mr. Marvel, land sec
onded by Peter A. c. Boyle, who was
chairman of the Pennsylvania state
convention We will also have sec
onds from two other states. AS to
the vice presidential talk for Judge
Gray, we have absolutely nothing to
say. We are continually urged by the
Bryan managers to permit Gray's
name to be considered for the second
place, but we insist that we are not
urging man for two places at the
same time. The Bryan people tell us
that if we persist in trying for the first
place we will lose the second We
Gray for position but for place The
result will depend on the good sense
of the convention"
The Gray managers have been say
ing wait until the delegates arrive
They now say that those arrivals are
increasing the Gray strength. They
point out that instructed delegations
men committed to Bryan-are COM
ing to them and saying that conditions
have so changed since the instructions
were given that If free they would
support Gray because or Mr. Bryan's
recent statements of Gray's strength
as conservative candidate. The
Tennessee delegation is given as
specific instance of this sentiment.
Three of the Tennessee delegates,
Messrs. King, Miller and Mcmahon,
are here in advance of their col
leagues. They have visited the Gray
headquarters and have said If Mr..
Bryan had given his endorsement to
Gray month ago instead of within
the last few days the Tennessee dele
cation would be for Gray.
The Gray managers are not asking
any of the instructed delegates to
waiver. but they say sentiment among
the instructed men is that conditions
have changed and they wish they
were free from instructions. They
claim this is having a powerful effect
on the uninstructed delegates, turning
them away from Bryan and toward
Gray and johnson.
The Gray managers are confidently
claiming the entire IS New York
votes and they believe that a develop
ment today will have a significant
bearing on this claim. The New York
caucus at midday has been expected
to take definite stand on its presi-
dental preference But the informa-
ton of the Gray men is that the New
York meeting will not pronounce for
Bryan. This is construed by them as
having an important meaning, namely
that the New York delegation will not
throw its decisive weight toward the
Nebraskan, but considers the fight
upon and will give its strength to
Gray. Whether these calculations are
correct the results of the New York
meeting will soon show, but the Gray
men talk with great confidence of
having the New York strength for
the candidate They do 10
days meeting to come out definitely
for Gray, but the failure to come out
for Bryan is claimed to be equivalent
to pronouncement for Gray.

BELL GETS OUT.
Leaves Lincoln in a Wagon for Omaha
to Catch n Train.

Lincoln. Neb.. July 6.-Temporary
Chairman Theodore A. Bell, who
spent a few hours with Mr.. Bryan to-
day, and feared he would be unable
to get out of the city because of the
flooded condition in the vicinity of
Lincoln. arranged for special train
to take him to Omaha from Waverly,
10. miles north of this city. Mr.. Bell
hired a livery wagon to take him to
Waverly. He left Lincoln shortly af-
ter o'clock and expects to reach
Omaha in time to catch a Denver
train on the Union Pacific at AIS
which will get him into Denver Tues
day morning.

GRAY STILL IN THE RACE.
Rumor of Withdrawal Emphatically
Denied by His Supporters


Denver, Colo, July 6.-"Judge
Gray's name has not been withdrawn
and under no circumstances will it be
withdrawn, said Josiah Marvel.
manager of the Gray presidential
forces. This was the answer given to
the persistent reports circulated about
the hotel corridors last night and this
morning that Judge Gray had tele-
graphed to those in charge of his in
terests instructing them explicitly not
to permit his name to go before the
convention. No such message has
been received and Judge Gray has re-
manned absolutely silent as to the
presidency. neither furthering nor re-
tarding the work of his friends in any
way. The Gray men were therefore
feeling more confident than ever to-
day. despite the apparent strong tide
for Bryan as they claimed that reports
from the incoming GeIegations gave
distinct reality to their hopes.

HIS dream WAS
The REAL STUFF

RENO, New, July S.-Arthur Ben
der. an underground surveyor on the
Comstock, dreamed of buried treas
ure, descended the Leopard shaft
there last week and discovered un-
der boulder stock whose face value
is $4,000. The stock was issued
and signed by the late Senator
George Hearst, and is dated 1873.
Bender did not open the package
containing the certificates immedi-
ately on picking it out of the moist
earth, but gathered $3.50 worth of
ore samples from the abandoned
property before ascending to the suc-
face.
At the home of Mineral Surveyor
Moran, for whom he was working,
Bender opened the widowed pack
age Thursday night. The contents
surprised both men and they resolved
to keep it secret. Both told their
friends, however, Sunday, and the
story became known today. Bender
has gone to San Francisco to dispose
of his holdings, and perhaps to get
the owners to reopen the abandoned
shaft. Describing the find to ac-
quaintances, Bender said: Il had a
bunch that there was some buried
treasure in that mine, and when
went down at the first opportunitr
instinct seemed to guide me to the
spot where the stock was concealed.
Some of the old Comstockers say
Bender will never be able to sell .he
Leopard stock. even II the property
is worked and proves rich. for the
heirs OF the owners showing ON the
record book will claim II.

DEATH VALLEY
CLAIMS VICTIM
b. X. BROCKINGTON GOES TO EX-
ANIME WATER RIGHTS AND
HAS NOT RETURNED.

According to r. NJ Tubbs, who
came in a few days ago from Willow
Creek, there are grave apprehensions
regarding the safety of B. X. Brock

known as the Brockington property
in Willow Creek. Mr.. Brockington
left Willow Creek with one burro
some days ago to examine q water
right in the Panamints. He was To

He had not returned Wednesday Of
this week, when Mr.. Tubbs left VIII
low Creek and parties to go in search
of him were being organized.
The distance Mr.. Brockington had
to travel to reach the water right
was thirty miles, but the route lay
across Death Valley, and it is feared
on account of the intense heat at this
season of the year he persisted.
Mr.. Brockington is about fifty
years. of age and has been prominent

of which he is superintendent was
originally located by Bill Keys, the
partner of Death Valley Scotty, and
later sold to the Du Pont Powder
company.
Brockington was real estate and
cotton operator on Wall street, and
l. is said that in 1898 he lost $780,
600 in cotton operations.
From New York Brockington wen
to Alaska to regain his financial loss

AS far as is known Brockingtor
