Eastern Conspiracy
to Defeat Bryan.

Evidence as to the eastern conspir
acy to prevent the nomination of Mr.
Bryan at Denver is now coming in
1t shows carefully planned purpose
To create a false impression of the
Nebraskaps strength in the eastern
states, so that the south and west
may, if possible, be discouraged. and
lose some measure of their faith in
him as the most available man to be
nominated for president
IL is hoped to accomplish this end
by suppressing or obscuring the facts
as to recent democratic primaries in
Pennsylvania and other states in the
east 1t has been given out that in
the Pennsylvania democratic prima-
res held lately the Bryan forces were
completely routed. and that that state
would give him hardly any support at
Denver, but the facts are just the re-
verse.
The primary returns show that the
Bryan element elected ffty-one OF the
sixty-four district delegates who go
direct to the Denver convention, and
seventy-five per cent. of the delegates
to the state convention which meets
at Harrisburg on May 20.
Judge Jere S. Black, one of the most
distinguished men and democrats of
Pennsylvania, tn writing to a friend
on this subject. says:
The falSehoods sent ont by the
foes OF the Bryan men in Pennsyl-
vania were intended TO affect ada
cent states, and possibly TO deceive
the democrats of the Keystone state.
1t can be said with absolute conf
dence that Pennsylvania is for Bryan,
that moro than two-thirds of the ma
tional delegates are Bryan men, that
a strong majority of the state dele
gates are trustworthy supporters OF
Bryan who can neither be cajoled nor
bought, that Bryan's friends will
name the delegates-at-large and will
help TO nominate and elect him"
Further testimony of Bryan
strength in the east has been gath
cred by the New Orleans States,
which says in it's issue of Monday:
The Bryan sentiment is just as
strong in New Jersey and Connecticut
as il Is in Pennsylvania. but it has
been pOwerless TO express itself be-
cause the party organizations in the
first two states are controlled by the
reactionarfes. This fact was estab-
fshed by the speech made in the
house on Saturday last by Congress
man Hughes OF New Jersey, who de-
clared that there were in his state
some democrats who would vote
against Mr.. Bryan IL he were nomi-
mated, but they would not number
more than 1000. Mr.. Hughes then

CATION would cast its vote for Bryan.
The Democratic town cauCuSeS held
last week in Massachusetts resulted
in almost every instance in the cleo
ton of Bryan delegates to the demo-
cratic state convention, which means,
OF course, that the Massachusetts de-
