DEMOCRATS ARE LESS
CONFIDENT ABOUT TICKET
Perhaps It Is Reaction From Excitement But Leaders
View is Less Rosy and There is No Great
Rush to Follow Ridder.

A special despatch from Denver yes
terday to the New York Herald says:
1t may have been the inevitable re-
action from the tumult and the shout
ing of Thursday and Friday, but the
democrats last night seemed to act as
if they thought the prospects of the
election Of Bryan and Kern were not
SO rosy as they appeared in the after
noon. This feeling was apparently
prevalent among the few state leaders
stu here and the members of the ma
tionai committee who were sitting
for them to take the train for Lincoln
and a consultation with William j.
Bryan.
NOT EXACTLY SANGUINE.
have talked with many of the lead
ers in confidence. and while hopeful
they are not exactly sanguine. They
seem to be drifting back to the condi-
ton of the conservatives before the
nomination of Mr. Bryan. which is ex-
planned in these words of a dstin-
guished United States senators:-'W e
tried to get Mr.. Bryan to step aside
and name the candidate for the pres
fdency. Then all wings of the party
would have been united and we could
have gone into the campaign to make
fight But Mr. Bryan would not
step aside and name the candidate. If
he had done 50 he would have been
the most admired democrat in America
and would have earned a place in his
tory. We could probably have elected
the ticket under those circumstances.
we saw this thing coming weeks ago,
and many of us concluded that We
would submit to the inevitable If
Bryan loses this time he must certainly
be- convinced that it is impossible for
him to be elected president Of this
country and we can try to get things
ir shape for the campaign of 1912"
NO "VOTE GETTER."
One thing that depresses some Of the
democrats is that they have no vote
getter" on the ticket. The conserv-
alive bitterly comment on the fact that
Mr. Bryan and Mrs. Kern have I'M
