but said he could not go into details.
When pressed as to what he would OPP
pose. he said that he would not accept
Il declaration for free silver or for gov
eminent ownership. He added also that
it was his understanding that Mr.. Bryan
considered the silver issue dead and that
the Democratic leader did not wish a
government ownership of railroads plank
inserted; that he had been entirely mis-
understood on that matter.
The vice presidential race had second
place in political gossip, chief interest
centering in the visits of Mr.. Ridder and

speech seconding the nomination of Mr..
Bryan. and the commoners editorial on

Illinois Contests.
The arrival of a number OF contesting
Illinois delegates headed by Judge Will

LITTLETON A LEADER.
New York Orator Who Will Be
Heard on the Floor Next Week.

Denver, July 3.-Martin w. Littleton OF
New York. one of the men that state
most prominently mentioned in connec-
ton with the vice presidency, arrived in
Denver today. having Travelled from New
York with Charles +. Murphy, leader of
Tammany hall. The coming of Mr.. Lit
Teton at this time and his presence on
the train with Mr.. Murphy gave a de-
cided impetus to his boom. Mr.. Little
ton was selected TO make the Parker
nominating speech four years ago, and
expects to have an opportunity 10 be
heard next week His speech probably
will have to do with the adoption of a
platform.
There is nothing | can say at this
time" said Mr.. Littleton today. Our
state delegation will get together on Mon
day and will say what is to be said and
il will be official This applies equally
to the position with regard to the pres
idency and the vice presidency"
Satisfied With Outlook.
Mr.. Littleton's friends claim 10 be en-
tirely satisfied with the outlook. They
say that New York has leading position
with regard TO the vice presidency, and
that Mr.. Littleton has many warm
friends and supporters on the delegation.
They say that Mr.. Littleton's record as
to party regularity is without a blemish,
and this is one of the cardinal qualifica-
tions that Mr.. Bryan will insist upon
in a running mate. 1t is not anticipated
that Mr.. Bryan will express a prefer
ence in any definite way. but will be
content with such a man as Representa-
tive Sulzer of New York, fresh from Lin
coin today. described as suitable, avail
able. amiable and able.
Mr. LittletOn Is an orator of much
force and eloquence. and his friends are
putting much store by the impression he
will make upon the delegates IL heard
in the convention.

effort will be made to organize for an at

Negro Plank Proposed.

The negro question may come TO the
front in the convention. Report has

recently visited by representatives of the
negro race who have assured him that
very slight denunciation of the course OF
the administration in the Brownsville mat

Democratic ticket in the close or doubt

that he was found to be not unfavorable

ity of Democrats in Chicago is without
precedent and was deliberate effort

case to the national convention next
Monday. We have prepared briefs and
had them printed for the benefit of all
the members of the committee and we
expect to win our case.

vention floor in the event of the national

MAY TAKE UP LANDS
NEWS FOR MOBILE AND GIRARD
HOMEsTEADERS.


washington, Jan. 24.-(special.)- -
Homesteadets on the old Mobile and
Girard railroad lines who had their
homesteads forfeited can take UP other
lands IN lieu thereof, provided they
will make the selections before the
register Of tn land ofic by March ..
1908.
On June s,fs56. Congress granted to
the State of Alabama certain lands
to aid in the construction Of q rail-
road from Girard to Mobile, a distance
Of about 1874 miles.
The grant was by the State, linz
mediately conferred upon the Mobile
and Girard Railroad Company which
on June l. 1853, filed its map Of defi-
MITE location, which was accepted by
the Secretary of the Interior. In 1860
and 1861 the tracts which are the sub
ject OF the proposed legislation were.
BY the Secretary of the Inerior. GER
this certification was the equivalent OF
a patent by the United States for said
lands.
BY conveyance through the state,
tn Q railroad company. and its vendees,
the lands so certified finally came to
be held In part by certain persons,
who, upon application for the confirma-
tion OF their title under the provisions
of Section of the act of March g..
1887, were by the Secretary of the In
terror held to be good faith purchasers
within the meaning of the statute.
1t appears that goodly number of
these homesteaders have traded with
the holders of the railroad title, and
have arranged to hold their original
entries, but others of them, and par
tfcularly those who were dispossessed
by legal process, have taken no steps
to receive the benefits intended for
them by this act, which expires March
4, 1908, and for the carrying out of
the provisions of which the Secretary
of the Interior has prescribed rules
and regulations.
Il is important that all interested
parties should without delay call on

perform II are engaged in rounding up del
eEates for Taft This relates not merely to
Mr. Hitchcock, the Assistant Postmaster
General. If he finally decides to beapme
the general manager OF the Taft campaign
his quitting office will be absolutely inn
.perative. A scandal which would have
shocked people even in the callous days of
Grant simply could not be tolerated under
Roosevelt. But Hitchcock is not the only
Federal official involved. A Washington

speaks complacently Of a broad plan Of
campaigning in his behalf which has been
made out TO cover the principal States; and
