the Of several delegates. bitter dissen
prevailed almost from the moment Of the start
from California the time the delegation reached
here The trouble was due largely 10 a factional
fight in the state alleged railroad domination
OF q certain element of the party

GOMPERS INDIGNANT.
ISaus Brqan's Friends Haze Per-
suaded Him to Modify Plank.

Denver July 5.-Samuel Gompers. president OF
the American Federation OF Labor. arrived IN
Denver this evening indignant, or pretending 90
be because he understood that the anti-inJunc-
tion plank was not to be as radical as he has in
formally demanded. Mr.. Gompers says that
."the lawyer friends of Bryan" have persuaded
him to so modify the plank as to permit lnJunc-
tions against labor organizations with merely
the proviso that where such injunctions are
granted the hearing of both sides must be held
within five days. He says that. as modified. the
nlank will be but little stronger than that
adopted at Chicago
Considerable interest attached to Mr.. Com
pers's course here as the conservatives" headed
by Murphy, most anxious that the labor
leader should prefer no formal demands. They
are reluctant to be placed IN the position OF
yielding to the demands of organized labor. and
want TO make such concessions as are forced
from them behind closed doors. The fact IS a
new light has struck a good many of the dele
gates in Denver, where they are assured that
nothing will so certainly insure Colorado and
the other mining states to the Republicans as
broad anti-injunction plank The people in these
parts have had bitter experience with the
miners federation and kindred organizations.
and they want nothing which will diminish the
power of the courts to protect them.
Governor Haskell of Oklahoma, who re-
ported to be redrafting the financial plank. as
serts that this is untrue. although he admits he
is trying perfect some modification of the rail-
way valuation plank. He admits, moreover
that the financial plank is far from satisfac-
tory-''too much Oklahoma constitution in it,"
say some of the critics-and that effort is be-
ing made although not by himself. 10 redraft it,
although it is not known If Mr.. Bryan can be in
duced to consent to any modification.
h.
from twenty-five to thirty drafts of every plank
over which there is any controversy. He says
also that the anti ti-injunction plank will be much
more conservative than was first intended.
John Barrett, director of the Bureau of the
American Republics. is here working assidu-
a declaration similar to that adopted at Chicago
United States and her sister republics to the
south. while Herman Ridder Is on the ground
displaying a wood pulp plank which bears Mr.
Bryans o K and will doubtless be adopted.
There promises to be a struggle before the
resolutions committee the question of an
anti-Mormon plank. Four years ago at st.
Louis such a plank made a part of the
Democratic national platform. and an effort is
TO be made to have ii reinserted in that docu-
ment. Fred Dubois. Of Idaho, formerly United
States Senator. has to-day been making ac-
tive canvass Of the situation in behalf Of the
plank Mr. Dubois is involved in contest for
a seat in the convention bur he has announced
that however that question may be settled he
will go before the resolutions committee with
the anti Mormon plank and bring TO bear every
influence possible in its behalf

ingrate.
Following Colonel Guffey's blistering attack
On the .speerIess one' the relations Of the two
men in the past freely discussed The
story of the particular incident which caused
the break between them is as follows:
Colonel Guffey, few months ago, learning
that Mr.. Bryan was making extensive repairs 10
his home in Lincoln, sent pair of handsome
cathedral stained glass windows of style and
artistic excellence that delighted the Nebraskan
The windows a joy to Bryan until chi
cago newspaper inadvertently discovered that
the windows gift from Colonel Gufrey
The scribe wrote a small paragraph about the
windows, suggesting that Mr.. Bryans hostlnty
to Mr.. Cuffey could not be deep seated, as Colo
mel Brvan had accepted from Colonel Guffey so
valuable testimonial of their comradeshtp and
brotheriy love
The paragraph caught the vigilant eye of the
candidate He thereupon sent curt note to
Colonel Guffey asking that he send bill Tor
the windows This note thoroughly incensed
Colonel Gufey, who wrote in reply that ne con-
sidered himself a gentleman, that the GIT was
sent as he had supposed from one gentleman to
another and that under the circumstances ne
certainly would not send a bill.
The interchange of notes occurred last week,
and soon after Colonel Bryan got his answer ne
attacked the Pennsylvania leader.
Colonel Guffey's statement has proved
bombshel, and for the time being even the
Bryanites are either dumb or are expressing
themselves in expletives too forceful for repe-
ton.
Mayor Dahlman of Omaha contented h1mseIr
with saving IF l were Bryan l would run
Guffey out of the convention" It is, however,
too early to gauge accurately the effect OF this
exposure of Bryanisrn in all its nakedness. Ihe
association of Hearst and Bryan it is declared
will not be lost on the shrewd managers Oh the
independence League. who thus receive abun-
dant evidence from within the camp of the
Democracy of the ingratitude of Bryan to tnelf
leader William r. Hearst.
In so far can be judged now, Coionel GuI-
fey's exposure will not materially diminish the
strength of Mr.. Bryan in this convention al
though il doubtless adds great force to the con-
viction even among Democrats, that he cannot
be elected. On the other hand those who accept
as true and warranted all that Guffey says Will
nroba bly argue that the facts only prove thelr
contention that Bryan would knife in the back
anv other candidate they might name, ana that
the only way to rid themselves of this populisuc
incubus is to plunge deep iE the sea OF defeaE'
hoping that he may drown while the Democracy
survives.

Bell. the temporary chairman of the conven-
tion who will sound the keynote when the s.
sembIage meets next Tuesday
He is over six feet tall with smooth shaven

tation for stirring oratory. There was talk to-
