to greet the callers at q downtown ho- tel, the weather cleared during the favorable weather today.
 The ground had dried out and made it easier going for pedestrians and car riages to Fairview and there were a great number of visitors there today.
 As Dewitt Clinton Dewitt and his fellow delegates. Jno. Garman. from Fennsyivania took a train at 4:s0 o'clock this morning, the former deliv- cred a parting shot in favor of John Mitchell, the former president of the United Mine Workers of America, for the nomination. for vice president. During his 4s hours stay in Lincoln. Mr. Dewitt has done little talking. ing as well as much quiet investiga- ton.
 Mitchszl the Man.
 Mitchell is the man." said Mir De- Witt hfave been weighing the val ues of the various candidates. talking with other delegates and comparing virtues. and the result is that come Mitchell carry Illinois. Indiana. and Ohio. but he could carry Pennsylvania. What other candidate so far mentioned gives promise of anything like Mitch elrs followingf None. I believe the next few days at denver will show the truth of what I have said. and feel certain now that the majority of the Pennsylvania, delegation accepts the strength that the leader of the coal miners would bring to the ticket.
 Greater interest was felt here con- cerning the conciliatory Hearst edi- torial which became public when The Commoner appeared on the news stands. Mr. Bryan's defense of Mir. Hearst and the IndeDendence League was regarded as deliberate proffer of the Olive branch--an invitation to the New York publisher to come back to the fold to complete the restoration or harmony in the party. MT. Hearst s resopnse to this overture fs awaited with the deepest interest. It is oven hint ed in some quarters that Mir. Bryan had been assured that such a concession on his part would meet with a prompt re- sponse from Mr. Hearst. No matter how much truth there may be in these conjectures, the benefits of a recon ciltation between the two leaders of the Democratic party Is something no one questions.
 Senator Gore of Oklahoma was one of the first to express himself this morning on the Cleveland resolution to be presented by Judge Parker at Denver.
 T am still unable to believe that the proposed resolution Is the result of any wish to show unfriendliness to MT. Bryan" said the senator.
 Tt is indicated. however. to bring 1t into politics, and believe the con- vention will be able to get around the matter in manner that win lend dig nifty to the gathering without causing any sting. The Democratic party wishes to revere the memory of the ex-president and can do it, am sure. without causing any feeling that will tend to bitterness" Senator Gore, like many others. did not wish to discuss the subject of The Commoner editorial regarding William R. Hearst, excusing himself with the remark that he had not given it sufficient study to proper ly interpret it's meaning.

MANY PLANS MADE FOR TODAY

I It has sometimes been said by those living to the North that the people Down South" did nos know how to celebrate the Fourth of July as it ought to be. but if any gentleman whose habitat Is the other side of the Ohio. hapens to have che good luck to fnd himself in Montgomery today he can send home a report contrary to that idea. and that with a clear conscience. This will be. perhaps. the most generally observed and thorough ly enjoyed holiday in the history of Montgomery.
 Business of every kind will practic- ally be suspended and the amusements and social arrangements for the day embrace a range and variety of enter tainment that will furnish the fullest measure of pleasure for people of ey- cry condition and taste. It is truly wholesome and refreshing to see cen- ter os population like this cut itself completely loose from all cares and re- responsibilities for twenty-four unbrok- en hours and relax it's tired brain and muscle in the invigorating relief of untrameled pleasure and pastinae. and this Is just about what the program in Montgomery ia today.
 The professional fans will ride the excursion into Atlanta some hundreds strong, to see the double-header ,be- tween the Crackers and Ryar's bunch of bullies.
 Out at the home ball park the Mont gomery Greys and Abbott Rifles of Selma, who know how to throw, catch and run. as we'll as they do how to fire, fight and mark time, will play a sort of private championship engage ment, and it Is safe to say that they will not be lonely or unobserved while they are at 1t.
 The musicians of the city have gone to Mobile by water, and won't be heard from again in a week. that is. maybe.l Anyway. If they cause a dis cord. 1t will be on water and not .at home.
 Enough fishing parties are enjoying that sport today to scare every sucker In the State out of his senses, provided he escapes with his life.
