ALL EYES ON BRYAN.
His Political Leadership Is in Danger
in Nebraska.

Grand Island, Neb., July 26.-Dele-
gates gathered early about the tent
where the Democratic state platform
convention is being held today. The
presence of W. J. Bryan who arrived
on one of the early trains and the be-
lief that he was to make one of the
most notable speeches of his career in
what is regarded as a crucial contest
for his political leadership also served
to draw hundreds of spectators who
formed a great fringe outside the
open tent.
With the arrival of Mr.. Bryan all
the dominant figures of the convention
are on the scene. Mayor Dahlnaan of
Omaha, now arrayed against his for
mer political leader in the pending
county option contest, headed a large
delegation from Omaha today which
loudly proclaimed the candidacy of
Mayor Dahlman as a successor to
Gov. Shallenberger. The headquart-
ers of Congressman Hitchcock of
Omaha, and Richard L. Metcalf of
Lincoln, candidates for the nomina-
ton for United States senator, were
crowded during the morning and
much partisan feeling was evinced al
though the convention will take no
action on the various candidates. for
state and national offices. Save for
a probable endorsement of the admin
istration of Governor Shal1enberger,
the convention will confine it's efforts
to drafting and endorsing the plat
form on which the party will make it's
campaign in the state this year.
1t was indicated early that the tenn
porary organization of the convention
would be made the permanent one and
that Constantine J. Smith of Omaha, as
temporary chairman, would deliver the
keynote speech of the convention. The
conferences of the Democratic leaders
during the night were attended by sew
eraI of the Populist delegates whose
convention will be held here today and
efforts to draft platform planks that
will not conflict radically were made.
1t was deemed probable, however, by
Populist leaders that the county option
feature, summed by the larger conven-
ton, would be one of the Populist
planks. Mr.. Bryan was reticent after
his arrival as to what form his speech
would assume. He said it would be
based on the developments of the con-
yentiOn.

TODAY's MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, July 26.-CORN-Decided weak
ness developed in the corn market today
and the weather was still dry and hot in
the states where damage reports have been
thickest. The principal cause of the
change of sentiment from the previous
nearly frantic desires to buy light
rain in some parts of Nebraska, Iowa and
Illinois. prominent packer speculator
led the selling. Commission houses in
general were also on that side of the mar
ket, in sharp contrast with the situation
yesterday. Many of the sales were attrib
uted to country dealers, whose incentive
was the suddenness of the advance to

said he had lived here only thirty-one

! McNeal read the following extracts
from the Leavenworth Times of Octo-

McNeal then read another extract
from Anthony's Times of December III
the same year as follows:
Here is some Indian business that
has just come to light which shows
that reports made about Congressman
Curtis Indian affairs are not very
far from the truth. Oil and gas have
been discovered in all parts of the In
Gian Territory and the great railroad
OIL and cattle corporations, have been
given the best of the territory under
law passed by Curtis and known as the
Curtis law. Under this law the corpor
atoms were given 15-year leases on GER
tain property in the territory. Under
the provisions of the law these corpor-
atoms have the absolute control of the
oil and gas found in these lands for
the term of their lease. Curtis Indian
deals smell to high heaven and will
probably be the means of keeping him
out of congress, until he is renovated,
at least"
These readings made a big hit with
the crowd.
BriStOw on the Tariff
Senator Bristow of Salina, the walk
ing encyclopedia of tariff information,
was the speaker of the evening and he
lived up to his reputation of knowing
the tariff schedules even as a high
school boy knows the A. B. C's. The
senator's tariff speech has been printed
in these columns before. He never had
81 more attentive audience in spite of
the lateness of the hour at which he
began to talk
The McNeal meeting was one big sue
cess and the insurgents have a right
to feel greatly encouraged over the clos
ing rally of this redhot campaign. Shaw
nee is not altogether in the hands of
the machine, as was emphatically at
tested by the 5000 people at the Audi
forum last night.

A President must be practical
