out opportunity for the submission Of a

Arrives with OIL.
Representative Henry d. clayton Of Ala
bama, who is slated for the per-
manent craftsmanship Of the national
democratic convention, arrived here
today, following a conference with
Mr.. Bryan at Lincoln yesterday. Like all
the other leaders who have talked with Mr..
Bryan en- route to Denver. Mr.. Clayton is
confident Of democratic victory next No
vember. Mr.. Bryan himself believes that
the cause Of democracy never had such a
hold on the people as II has at the present
time and he feels assured OF the party's
success.
The platform upon which the party will
go before the country continues to form
the main topic Of discussion with all the
leaders who stop off at Lincoln. II seems
to be clearly settled that there shall be a
clear and explicit pronouncement on the
subject OF injunctions involving labor dis
putes. Mr.. Clayton said that the plank
will be 20 drawn as to leave no room for
doubt as to where the democratic party
stands.
II was a mistaken idea, Mr.. Clayton said,
that the leabor leaders are clamoring for
a radical declaration which would. in ef-
feet, align the party against the judiciary

and reasonable legislation which will re.
store to them the right Of notice IA injunc-
ton proceedings which was provided for
on the statute books for seventy years pre-
ceding the codification Of the laws in 1878.
There Is no question In my mind" said
Mr.. Clayton that the large majority OF
the labor organizations will be satisfied
with the plank as II will be finally adopted
by the onvention."-
Brynn's Views on Negroes.
The, negro question may come to the front
in the convention. Report has reached
Denver that Mr.. Bryan would be pleased
to see Incorporated in the platform a re-
buke to the administrator for the dis
missal of the colored troops on account of
the CTexas) affair and the
southerners who are on the field are by
no means friendly to the idea. As the

been recently visited by representatives of
the negro race who have assured him that
a very slight denunciation Of the course of
the administration in that matter would
insure thousands of votes to the democratic
ticket in the close or doubtful states of the
north, and ii Is asserted that he was found
to be not unfavorable to such a course.
The probable opposition Of southern dele
gates is fully recognized and It is consid-
cred doubtful whether, after mature DELHI
Grafton, there will be any determined Eff
fort on behalf Of the resolution. 1t is
therefore possible that the convention will
content itself with a declaration against
summary proceedings by the executive In
such matters without mentioning any spe-
ciflc instance or any race.
Adheres to Nebraska Platform.
The Latest arrivals from Lincoln bring the
information that In his draft Of a plank
regarding the writ of injunction in labor
disputes, which. continues the crucial point
Of discussion, Mr.. Bryan is adhering to the
mes laid down in the Nebraska platform
requiring notice to defendants ane hearing
by the courts; requiring that injunction
trials shall be conducted by some Judge
other than the author Of the writ. and per-
hitting juries in certain cases. But there
are already suggestions of compromise.
The conservatives are especially holding
out against the sweeping requirement for
notice, and many of Mr.. organs best
IF ends are inclined to be of the opinion
that his views would carry the convention
further than il can possibly go on this
point. Many notifications have already
been suggested, and ii is known that some
OF these have been brought to the attention
Of the Nebraskan.
The latest of these suggestions look to a
change in the notice clause so as to permit
the issuance OF Injunction writs In labor
controversies without notice in cases Of
great emergency. but requiring that a time
limit be fixed and providing for notice and
hearing second presentation of the subject
to the courts. 1t is very evident that IL
some modification is not obtained the plank
will be bitterly fought in committee and
probably on the floor of the convention.
TOwne Headquarters Open.
The boom OF Charles A. Towne of New
York for second place on the democratic
national tickle was formally launched to-
day. Headquarters were opened In the
Savoy hotel, in charge OF Don Farnsworth
of Chicago. Mr.. Farnsworth Is a former
Tammanyite and conducted the campaign
for Mr.. Towne which resulted in his cleo
ton to congress from the Fourteenth con-
gressionaI district of New York.
I'VE have enough assurances" declared
Mr.. Farnsworth, ito lead us to believe
that Mr.. Towne will be honored by the
convention with the nomination for vice
president. He 10 known all over the coun-
try as a staunch democrat and a man OF
brilliant attachments and much political
experience and, coming from New York,
would be a tower OF strength on the
ticket"
While not speaking in disparagement of
the other candidates for the office, whose
names have been mentioned. Mr.. Farms
worth declared that none of them would
be more satisfactory to Mr.. Bryan than
Mr.. Towne.
New Yorker on Hand.
Coming via Lincoln Bird s.. Coler Of New
York and Daniel J. Campau Of Michigan

lowing. Mr.. Coler had scarcely registered
