Nebraskan.

Nebraskan.
Denver Colo. July 7.-Colonel J. NJ
Guffey. of Pennsylvania. who was at
sacked by Mr.. Bryan in a speech at
Lincoln. issued the following state
ment in reply:
"ln the course of his Fourth Of July
speech to twelve TO fifteen out of the
sixty-eight delegates from Pennsylva-
MIA, Mr.. Bryan made certain explicit
declarations. He charged that the
Pennsylvania delegation was taken
from him by conspiracy against the
expressed wish OF a great majority
Of the Democratic voters. This state
ment is false. The state convention
voted down a resolution endorsing his
randidacy by a substantial majority,
and there is no basis whatever for Mr..
Bryan's assumption that the members
Of that convention did not accurately
represent the voters who had elected
them delegates. Mr.. Bryan personally
forced the issue before the people
when. in fiat contradiction of his
boasted policy of non-interference, he
rame to Pittsburg, pleaded hiSIown
tase before thousands In Exposition
hall, and put his own ticket in the
field against the regular candidates.
The result of his fervid appeals was
the election of three and One-half Bry
an delegates and twenty-six and one
half anti-Bryan delegates to the state
convention.
Mr. Bryan views me with sancti-
mOnious horror as a political boss,
who shall never be in the party organi-
cation. except over my protest as a
bushwacker' who should not be put
into my councils to betray me-, My
councils indeed. Is Mr.. Bryan the
whole organization? Let the people
rule, he shouts, and forthwith pleals
to dictate not only every act, every
Office and every resolution of this con
vention. but also to put the ban on
every man from any state who is OPP
posed to his candidacy or his plat
form. Does he turn his vituperation
against me because / am a boss? Not
at all. l am no more of a boss now
than l was during the two campaigns
when l won his appreciation by trying
to elect him. The only boss he hates |

Inland Waterways.

With T. Coleman du Pont as a
guest of honor, representatives OF
three States, Pennsylvania, New
Jersey and Delaware, interested IN
the movement Of inland waterways,
gave a dinner at the Union League,
Philadelphia, on Thursday evening,
June 2sth. All the speeches rang
with suggestion for the develop
ment of this project.
Congressman J. Hampton Moore
presided as toast mastsr. Speeches
were made by Congressman R. o..
Moon and W. w. Foulkrod Of
Pennsylvania H. c. Loudenslager
of New Jersey, and Hiram R. Bur
ton of Delaware Mayor Reyburn,
Frank D. LaLanne, president of the
National Board of Trade; J. S. w.
Holton, president of Maritime EX-
change Alexie I. du POnt Of Will
mington, and others.
In introducing II c. du Pont
Congressman Moore said:
Tn these days of agitation for
better things for our respective
cities and States we must take adj
vantage of every opportunity. Gen
eral du Pont is one of the forceful
men of our neighboring State of
Delaware. He is Interested, as we
of Philadelphia are, in the deepen
ing oftae Delaware River and in the
completion of an inland chain Of
waterways along the entire Atlantic
Coast. We can best help our re-
spective communities, CONNER
cially and otherwise, by giving
credit to other communitiesstr
for the same object and willing to
cooperate with us.
General du Pont, in responding,
said:
Delaware is intensely interested
in all movements which tend to the
deepening of waterways and the
of our natural re-
sources. Our interests are akin to
those of New Jersey and Pennsyl-
vania and it is expedient that we
should move together to promote
he general welfare.
The deepening of our rivers and
larbors is allied to the reclamation
If swamp lands, to the preservation
If our forests and to many other
problems that now confront the
I am pleased to be
counted amongst those who are
wiling to cooperate with the
.fforts now being put forth to de-
'elop the transportation facilities
If the country and to give profit
Ible employment to capital and
abor through these great public
works.
Besides the subjecs Of inland
waterways. the subject of drainage
# swamp land was taken up by
everal of the speakers.

the course southwestward for Homo
lulu, where the ships will arrive on
July 16 for a weeks stay.
The complete route from Manila to
Hampton Roads has not yet been def
nitely announced, but it is expected
that the feet will arrive at its ulti-
mate destination during the latter part
of February, 1909. when it will be
Joined at Hampton Roads by most OF
the other ships of the American navy
then on the Atlantic coast, and this
great fleet of war vessels will again be
reviewed by President Roosevelt just
prior to his going out of office.
