Carren for Brooklyn. where he will continue his
opposition to Tammany. and the rest Ior ooio-
RADIO Springs, where they will ridicule the pro-
ceedings of the convention ana recite theii
wrongs to the townspeople.
",To the other element in the party which rep

time Cleveland Jefferson regime, my advice is 10
bide their time and the day will come when the
country will glorfy them' added Senator NC
Carren.
Pat McCarren is not bit sore. He came to
Denver expecting just exactly the treatment he
received. He rather hoped for it, He mas

ties. Republicans and Democrats. will sympa-
thize with him. that the Republicans VIII sym
pathfze and vote against Tammany with re-
newed visor: that the Democrats will sympa-

the party They will realize that the noisy cro"o

hat he speaks the Sentl-
ments of large minority of the delegates He
regards the present convention as preliminary
to the establishment of stronger Populstlc

next election.
Colonel Guffey's opinion of the convention is
easily ascertained, but not so easily related. he
sputters with rage whenever Bryan is fheh-
toned vows the most extreme vengeance on
everybody who contributed to his undoing, and
laughs at the suggestion that Bryan can carry
any Eastern state, Maryland.

WINGED every delegate and every spectator pres

absurd ever brought to a credentials committee.

General and has made wonderful record for
legal ability He was the only man in the
credentials committee who took note on the
proceedings My defeat served to show nm
what he had been unable to believe, that Bryan
was bent on having my seats if he had to put
Nebraskans into them. He will be silent IN the
coming campaign on this subject but his friends

THE convention has fit to unseat the
Idaho State Democracy in order that Senator
Duboiss American party, which is the bigoted
and unconstitutional organization, might thrive
in his home county The defeat of Bryan and
his blind followers is the thing that can
change their resolution. Idaho will contribute
