entirely to the political situation and
the chances for election of the various
candidates His points in favor Of
Gov. Hughes apparently found favor.
Gov. Wilson who attended the
meeting. was called ON ior a speech,

orally understood as indicating that
he favored an uninstructed delega-
ton.

TABLE THE ALDR|CA BILL
COMMITTEE ON BANKING SIDE
TRACKS CURRENCY BILL.
ACTION FORCED BY WEST
Republican Caucus Idea Aoanooheo'
but Leaders Expect Conner
ence Tuesday.

washington. April 1.-THE house
committee on banking and currency
voted to table the Aldrich bill. Just
what will be done now to get some
sort of emergency currency Legislation
is impossible to say.
All the preliminary steps necessary
for holding the conference or repup-
lican members of the house to declde
upon what bill shall be passed mad
been taken. The house leaders are IN
favor of the Aldrch bill, but the re-
volt of the Western members against
it has put matters in such shape that
it is not certain that the rebels could
be held in line for the measure, even
by caucus action.
After tabling the Aldrich bill the
committee considered ~nether IT
should stick by recommendation that
the Fowler bill be passed. On this,
however. no conclusion was reached.
and the committee adjourned after
stating that Representative Vreeland
Of New York. who has introduced a
substitute for the Aldrich bill. shall be
given a hearing on it Saturday. The
Vreeland substitute makes commercial
paper a security for emergency cur
rency.
1t now seems extremely portable
that the house leaders, if they consider
such a course possible, will disregard
the committee on banking and cur
rency and take whatever action is
deemed best to try and force through
some sort of emergency bill.

BRYAN FORCES OUT
DEFEATED IN FIGHT FOR NEW
YORK DELEGATION.
CONTEST LASTED TWO DAYS
Platform Calls Upon Democracy of
the Country to Send Strongest
Men to Denver in July.

New York, April 1G.-State Senator
Pat H. McCarren, leader of the Kings
county Democracy, was unseated
Wednesday night as a delegate to the
rarty's state convention in Carnegie
hail to select representatives to the
Denver national convention. after a
TWO days bitter contest before the
committee on credentials.
Followers of w. J. Bryan who advo-
Gated the adoption by the Democratic
STATE convention of resolution favor
ing his candidacy surrendered after
their defeat before the resolutions
co,amittee Augustus Thomas, the
playwright, a close friend of the Ne,
brGskan, announced the surrender in
this statement:
Mr.. Bryan's friends, after gen
crdl view of the field and the condi-
tons, have decided that there is al
ready such a lack of harmony in the
convention that they are unwilling
to introduce another question on
which there might be a division even
when that question is one so amiable
as to whether delegates should be in
structed or not This is also the atti-
tude of the minority of the committee
on resolutions"
The business for which the conven-
ton assembled, the selection of dele
gates to the national convention, the
nomination of presidential electors
and the adoption of platform was
almost forgotten in the excitement
over the McCarren contest.
After the settlement of the McCar
rem and other contests, the convention
proceeded with its task and named
delegates and electors and adopted a
platform. The platform in part reads
AZ follows:
The Platform.
eve hold that Democratic tradi-
tons, bound up as they are, with much
that is greatest in the history of the
country, require that national conven-
tiuns should be gatherings of the
best intellect and ripest judgment anG
the most unselfish patriotism; a party
for the purpose of studying the neeas
and striving for the welfare OF the
country at large.
And therefore, We, representing
the PARTY in the greatest state Of the
Union. a state whose electoral vote is
essential TO Democratic victory, with
no animosity or hostility for any can
dictate and animated only by devotion
TO the principles of the party, call
upon the Democracy of the country
to send TO Denver in July next, un-
pledged. unfettered and uninstructed,
thoi. ablest strongest and most repre-
sentative men, to the end that out of
the deliheration and consultation of
such men, there may be then and
there be nominated ticket which
will rally to its support, the judg.
ment. conscience and vote of major
ity Of the citizens Of the country
Alton B. Parker New York Charles
+. Murphy New York; Lewis Nixon,
New York. and Charles Froeh, Brock,
