the pasH six months by personal contact
with democrats of the south, the west and
of the middle states. 1t has been reins
forced within the past two weeks, since
the talk of his retirement has become
more pronounced by letters and kilograms
from democrats all over the country en-
treating him to stand fast and not to
be showed off the track by the conserva-
tives of the east.
Some of these letters pointed out that
the conservative faction had it's chance
in 19Ci-and made a mighty poor job of
It. The writers insist that the democratic
party is still true to its ideals, and that
Mr.. Bryan is a person.fcation of them
and should make the fight again no mat
ter whether the outcome spells defeat or
victory.
Mr.. Bryan. it is said by those who have
talked with him since his arrival here
is more confident of a democratic victory
In the next presidential election than he
has ever been before. He is intent upon
taking the nomination If offered. and be-
lieves that he can be elected. 1t is con-
sidered probable that in the course of
the next few days he will take occasion to
explain to democratic senators and rep
resentatives his reasons for his belief.
Opportunity will be given for discussion
in the two dinners to be rendered him
by Senator Newlands at the senator S
residence at Woodley, which will be at
tended by the democratic senators.
uAo VI 4o0O.
Democratic politicians in this city were
interested today in e publication in a
New York paper yesterday of the state
ment that 80 per cent of Mr. Bryan's
campaign fund in 1895 was contributed
by the silver nlae owners of the west
and by men affiliated with the producers
of the white metal. The total amount
was alleged to be s2Ss.O00. OF this sum
Mr.. Marcus DAILY is said to have contrib
uted $l50.OOO former Senator w. A. Clark,
$45.OOD; Colorado mine owners. s5l 600, and
white metal producers in Utah and Cali
fornla the balance.
1t Is well known to all democrats that
Mr.. Marcus Daily was a contributor to
the campaign fund. and that fact has
personal admrer of Mr.. Bryan and did
all he could to try to elect him. II was
said today by man who was familiar
with ..e operations of the campaign com
mittee OF 1896 that statement is erroneous
that a private set OF books was kent
for these contributions of the silver mine
owners. 1t was stated that the original
books we're turned over to the succeeding
democratic national committee and a COPY
of them retained by some members OF
the old committee.
Mr. Bryan visited the Capitol today
and was eagerly sought by democrats
in both houses. In these meetings how
ever. only the most general questions OF
politics were discussed.

Mr.. William J. Bryan will not accept the

The contemplated conference between
Mr. w. J. Bryan and those conservative
democrats who were going to advise him
to decline the nomination appears to have
resolved itself into a question of who

had been found anxious for the undertak-

that he is ready to meet such sugges-
tion and to give it vigorous treatment.

Nowhere in the United States has the

about it very much. The high pres sure

Salt Lake and vicinity were again

mean temperature of A, a maximum of

of rare day in June. The tempera-
ture is row above the normal by -four
degrees.
The streets were thrOnged with pee
pie yesterday, scores upon scores OF
baby carriages with their tiny OCCu-
pants were out and the long walk for
exercise was extremely popular. The
reports from the country indicate that
the roads are drying rapidly and are
in good condition.
There still remains one below zero
station on the weather map. That is

The lowest temperature noted else

ASIDE JUDGM ENT
MCWhirter'S Verdict Entered
by Default Against Donald
son Will Stand.
JUDGE REBUKES DEFENSE
GAMING CONTROVERSIES BE-
MEATH COURTS ATTENTION.
JUDGE REBUKES DEFENSE

Judge Richie yesterday refused to
set aside the judgment for $IoS0 en-
tered by him some time ago in favor
of William McWhirter and against
James Donaldson.
The case has been in the courts ever
since the famous poker game in the
Antler rooming house on Sept. 10.
1906, in which the McWhirters were
beaten out of $4,000 by a gang of
crooks McWhirter sued Donaldson,
now under a ten-year sentence in the
pcnitentiaTy. for his share of the loot
and judgment was entered by default
three months ago.
Donaldson protested, alleging that he
did not appear because he had not
been reliably informed as to the eX-
piration of his time TO answer. In this
connection the court says:
1T is essential to setting aside a
default judgment that the party seek
ing relief show that he has meritor-
ious defense. The defendants answer
rendered sets up that he won the mon
ey involved as the result of a gaming
wager. The supreme court has estab-
lished in cases of this class that when
il Is made to appear that claim
grows out of a transaction which is il
legal. immoral or against public policy
court will leave the parties where it
finds them.

the other was equally in the wrong

touching tribute to the unfortunate
young man at the funeral services IN

ing esta blishment, yesterday afternoon
at $3.50 O'Clock. He spoke highly of the
character of Mr.. Davey and sorrow
fully of the untimely end of the young
man, who committed suicide at Oak
land, Cal, on March 2, during a fit of
/ dependency over tie illness of his
young wife
While the preacher was speaking in
eulOgy of the dead. Mrs. Davey. too i'll
to come to Salt Lake to attend the fu-
neral, was in far-off Oakland. proba-
bly, thinking of the sad scene being en-
acted here.
Mr.. Davey was formerly secretary of
the Sunday school of the First PresbV-
terrain church and president of the
Young Peoples association. Long be-
fore the hour set for the beginning of
the services the chapel was filled with
friends and former associates in church
work and in business of the late Mr.
Davey. 1t was necessary to open the
folding door separating the chapel from
the undeTtaker's office so that the in
creasing crowd could be accommo-
dated.
Heaped about the casket were nu-
merOus floral offerings from church
friends, former associates in the Ore
gon Short Line office and others.
The Dallbearers were Alfred V. Pc
terson, George w. Blakeley, George w.
Wragg, Albert s. Martin. Paul L. Bee
mer and Charles w. Price.
At the close of the services the body
was taken to Mount Olivet cemetery
for burial
Mr.. Davey was up to about two
months ago connected with the general
passenger office of the Oregon Short
Line. He gave Up his position to go to
California because Mrs. DaVey was
suffering from an affection of the
heart which required that she be taken
to a lower altitude. In leaving Salt
Lake, Mr.. Davey was compelled to give
up a standing in church and social life
and in the business world here which
represented ten years of hard and
earnest work.
