international naturalization Of the Philip
pine islands.
The Insuiar Policy.
The belief was entertained said Mr..
Towne, that such a policy would result in
avoiding the necessity for tremendous mill
tsry defensive expenses and give an as
surance of, the development Of those lands
under the guidance toward approximate
independence. Furthermore, It is likely
that there win Ne a distinct pronounce
ment that a permanent system Of depend
ency is out of harmony with our institu-
lions and that the discharge Of the duties
that have come to us with the Philippines
as a result OF the Spanish war will not be
permitted to defect us permanently from
the course of our true national progress
That, he said, was in harmony with Mr..
Bryan's own views.
Considerable speculation IS being INDUCED
in relative to the attitude of the New
York delegation on the president and the
platform.So far they have not pledged
themselves to anything or anybody. THE
New Yolk delegation said Mr.. Towne,
rs coming here in good faith to have
counsel with the delegated democracy Of
the county, end win be guided in its action
after it Arrives here by the results of that
counsel"
Bryan May write Plank.
Unless, there. is a decidedly greater ten
dency towards compromise than is now
manifested the real fight will be over the
Injunction plank, but the leaders declare
that before the committee on platform Is
appointed a substantial agreement will have
been reached and that the will
be relieved of the necessity OF a prolonged
sitting. In Chicago the fight was against
the insertion Of any injunction plank at all.
Here all admit the necessity Of some de-
claration, but many oppose the pronounce
mcnt for previous notice in injunction pro,
ceedings.
There has been much communication with
Mr.. Bryan on this point, but apparently his
attitude is not clearly understood and prob
ably it will not be until his draft of the
plank, which he is understood to be pre-
pairing, is received. 1t is known, however,
that he would use stronger language than
is employed in the republican platform
That he is wiling to go as far as the Fed
Grafton of Labor demands none are willing
to say, but his closest friends say that he
does not consider 1t necessary TO make such
a sweeping declaration. They say that Mr..
Bryan will himself suggest what will be a
concession to the conservatives and they
predict that in the end his draft Will be
accepted.
Bryan Sends for Minnesota Man.
Mr.. Bryan has asked for a conference
with T.. d. O'Brien Of Minnesota, one Of the
most enthusiastic supporters Of Governor
Johnson, but for what purpose the man
ayers of the johnson campaign have no
idea. Mr.. o'Brien will leave st. Paul for
Denver tomorrow and has wired the John
son headquarters in this city that he has
been asked by Mr.. Bryan to stop off for a
short time. 1t is generally supposed by the
Johnson men that Mr.. Bryan wishes to
talk over the vice presidential situation.
That, at least, is the only ground they
can imagine for the request OF MI. Bryan.
They discounted any results from the con
ference provided it should turn out to be
on that subject by declaring that Johnson
will not consent, under any circumstance
to be considered as available for the second
place on the ticket.
First Iowa Delegate.
John P. O'Mailey of Perry, Ia, delegate
from the Seventh district, was the first
% the Iowa delegates to arrive. He
reached DenEef this morning. The re-
mainder of the Delegation Is expected to
arrive suRdaY aud will open headquarters
at the Brown Palace. Mr.. O'Malley says
that the Iowa delegation will be in favor
of John Mitchell for vice president If the
Illinois delegation will put him forward.
The delegation is instructed for Bryan.
There are two things" said Mr.. O'Mai-
ley, that our delegation will certainly
support. One is a strong anti-injunction
plank in the platform and the ether is a
law guaranteeing bank deposits. These are
practically the only prospective planks of
the platform that we have discussed. and
l think the delegation is agreed unani-
mously on these. l. myself. am a banker.
and I heartily favor the deposit guarantee
plan"
Like many others of the arriving dele.
