The Fight Against Bryan.

Grand Island, Neb. July 26.-The
question of a county option plank for
the democratic party of Nebraska was
fought out on the state convention
floor this afternoon. Bryan arrived
here at II a. IN.
This is no time to talk of com
promise" he said. Il am here to
fight, and fight will do the best OF my
ability on the floor Of the convention.
If | see during the convention that l
am hopelessly beaten | will still fight
and then talk Of compromise. | am
going into the convention this after
noon and expect to win.
If the Bryanites are finally beaten
the compromise proposition is for the
convention to refer the county local
option matter to the various legislative
districts and the nominee for governor
TO be pledged to sign county option
bill, if such a measure should be pass
ed by the legislature.
1t is stated that this compromise
would be satisfactory to Governor Shall
lenberger.
A meeting was held by the anti
Bryan leaders late last night at which
it was decided that county option would
be tabooed entirely by the convention,
if they could control, in favor OF the
initiative and referendum. After the
meeting adjourned and a canvass Of
the Bryan workers in Grand Island was
made it was found that they would not
compromise and that county option
could not be killed, except on the floor
of the convention.
