It is argued that'if the nomination of

of James from a border state would
accomplish the same ends.
1t was reported here this morning

that he would repudiate Bryan This
is not believed.

be amicably arranged, however, before

Auditorium, Denver, July S.-The
committees on rules, business and per-
manent organization made their re-
ports at noon when Temporary, Chair
man Bell called the convention to or
der. The committee on credentials is
nearing the end of its work, but the
platform and resolutions committee
will probably not make report before
the night session:
1t is believed that the action of the
national committee will be closely fol-
lowed, regarding the settlement of con-
tests. If the Guffey faction from Penn
sylvania is unseated bitter fight is
sure to follow on the.fioor of the con-
vention and hard thing will be said,
If the Guffy men are allowed to re-
tain their seats there will likely be
no further trouble between Bryan and
the Pennsylvania party leader.
The subcommittee on resolutions
hopes to report to the full committee
at 5 o'clock this afternoon, and the
platform may be presented for adop-
tion at the session of the convention

cLAYToN,s ADDRESS.

Chairman Henry D. Clayton. of Ala
bama, said in part:
Mr.. Chairman and Fellow Demo-
Gratis: Let me thank you for the honor
you have conferred upon me.
This is Democratic year. Demo
cratic ideas are now popular. Doc
trines always taught by our party and
scoffed at by our opponents are now
urged as gospel of their own. Meas,
,ures and policies of Democratic origin
are now pretendedly advocated by the
leaders of the Republican part7 1t is
no longer anarchistic to declare that
private monopoly to be indefensibIe or
that the great transportation COM
panies should be regulated and con-
trolled by public law. Former ques-
tioning of the decision of bare ma
jority of the supreme court in the in
because of the greater noise of the
vehement and embroidered denuncia-
tion of judges and judicial acts that
have shocked the country. A demand
for the revision of the tariff is no
longer threat to destroy our indus
trial system. We need not now en-
large on the list of Republican admis-
sions and promises for election pur-
poses only. The Republican party has
made marked progress in promises to
the people and much greater progress
in aiding selfish interests and special
privileges. That party, guided by ex-
pediency and campaign necessity,
would camp this year on Democratic
ground. If it's apparent recent prog
ress is to continue it does not require a
very great sweep of the imagination
to see written into Republican plat
form four years hence those immortal
words of Thomas Jefferson, Equal
rights to all, special privileges to
none"
Republican Responsibility.
The Republican party having had
full control of the federal government
flor more than decade must. give an
account of its stewardship, Its pre-
tensions claims, largely without foun-
dation. and largely exaggerated, will
not suffice. Let honest investigation
reveal the bad and defective laws
passed by that party; vicious politics
maintained; reforms rejected. the re-
cent panic and its consequences;
promises broken; discrimination prac-
ticed; incompetency confessed by its
failure to meet urgent public needs.

To NAME GUARDIAN
Said That Groom Went on Protracted
Spree When His Physician Informed
Him That He Had Brieht's Disease
and He May Be Crazy.
Daily News Special.


Jackson, Miss, July Sat the in
stance, it is said, of his wife, petit
tion has been filed in chancery to have
a guardian appointed for Hon.
Groom, one of the most prom
lawyers in this city, and former
senator from this district.
For the past three weeks Mr. CT
who has been total abstainer
about fifteen years with the exec
of two or three short sprees, fe
the water wagon with a pretty
jolt, following the information
his physician that he had Bright's dis
ease, and during this period he is said
to have been roaming out in the west
with his stenographer, who left this
city at about the same time. II they
did not actually go together. II wa2s
given out here that Mr.. Groom -Aa>A
gone to Texas to spend few days for
his health, but he and the stenogra-
pher, Mrs. Campbell, WHO had been
employed in his office he e for several
months. soon turned up in Los An
geles, Cal, and the papers there have
been full of accounts of the capers cut
by Mr.. Groom and his companion.
Remembering that he had some i'm.
portant cases, ~ try in the Raymond
court this week, he returned, still ac-
companied By the woman. and the
two stopped at the Cox louse. hotel
recently owned by him, bu, sold few
months ago to other parties, but few
hours later a committee of cit zens are
said to have waited upon MIN and or
dered the two to leave The town at
once. which they promptly did in a
buggy, going toward Bolton.
Advices from the latter place are to
the effect that, the news of their CON
duct having become known, they were
given instructions to again move on,
when they came to this city on the
first train. After being refused ad-
mission to several hotels they finally
located at small hostelry in the west
ern portion of the city, where friends
are working with him in an effort TO
straighten him up.
Mr.. Groom has a splendid wife here
who is grief-stricken at the turn
things have taken in her husbands
career, but she believes it is all the re-
suit of the drink he has taken, and wiz
try to straighten him up. Up to within
the past year there had never been q
happier couple, and they have been
married perhaps twenty years, during
which time they have accumulated a
fortune variously estimated at from
$4,000 to $150000. Reports here, how
ever. are to the effect that just before
taking this trip much of his property
was mortgaged, and that nearly $40, 900
in cash was taken with them on the
trip.
Mrs. Campbell, the companion of
Groom on his wild trip, is grass
widow. She was Miss Payne, her
parents formerly having lived in this
city. She married and was afterward
divorced from man named Camp
