AS COMPROMI
Bryan Faction and Conservatives May Agree
on Buckeye GOyernor---New York for
OhiOan-- Wilson Forces Depressed.

ingly for Harmon. A local paper pub
lished this afternoon what 1t claimed to
be an accurate poll Of the New York
delegation. This gives Harmon sixty
three, with the remaining ninety votes
divided between Wilson, Underwood. and
Clark in the order named.
Could Have Averted Fight.
That the present struggle might have
been avoided was indicated this morn
ing by P. l. Hall, national committee
man from Nebraska, and a Bryan man,
when he expressed the belief that the
Commonsr would have been perfectly
satisfied II the committee on arrange
ments had reserved Parker for perma-
nent chairman and had selected a pro-
gressive as temporary chairman TO make
the keynote speech.
According to Taggart, one of Muir
phys allies, no such proposition came
before the committee on arrangements.
He does say, however, that the commit
tee on arrangement had knowledge be-
fOrehand Of Bryan's opposition to Parker
One faint hope of compromise may
exist. That Is to say II Bryan is will
ing to bury the hatchet he can probably
have the chairmanship Of the resolutions
committee. which draws the platform.
It is not believed, however, that he
would accept it at the hands of the con-
servatives.
Could Line Up ProEreSHiveE.
II Bryan is really after the EomIna-
ton 1t is thought that he could line up
the progressives behind him.
Thus 1t would seem to be Bryan or
Wilson on the one side and Harmon
on the other, with Harmon as the ulti-
mate dark hOrse% compromise.
1t now seems beyond doubt that the
fight against Bryan VIII be carried to
the floor Of the convention. since his
friends say that he probably will not
face the situation before the National
Committee at its session Monday to rat
ify the selection Of Parker by the COM
mittee on arrangements. Leaders laugh
ed at report that Parker would step
aside and permit Senator O'Gorman to
take his place as temporary chairman.
1t is shouted from the housetops of
Democracy that Bryan will go down to
defeat, though fighting every inch Of the
way.

BALDWIN REPLIES
TO BRYAN MESSAGE
Connecticut Governor Cautions the
Great Commoner Against De-
stroying Harmony IN Party.

New Haven. Conn, June 22.-Gov.
Simeon L. Baldwin has made the follow
ing reply to the telegram Of William ].
Bryan asking for his support in the
movement TO prevent the choice OF Judge
Parker as the temporary chairman of
the Baltimore convention:
New Haven. Conn. June - 1872.
Hon. William Jennings Bryan,
Chicago, III.
Replying 10 your telegram forwarded
from Hartford, It does not seem to me
that the course you suggest would pro-
mote harmony at Baltimore.
The Republican party has been Wis
ibly destroying itself at Chicago. The
storm center has been the action OF its
national committee in planning for the
organization Of its convention. should
regard It as unwise to agitate a similar
cause Of difference respecting the action
OF the Democratic National Committee.
The Democratic party of the United
States stands for three things:
''First-Opposition to grants of special
privilege to special interests
Second-OppOsition to Capitalization
Of power at Washington by encroach-
ments on the rightful spheres OF the
States.
''Third-Economy in public expendi-
lures.
''All those who believe that these prin-
c!ples should be steadfastly maintained
belong In the Democratic party.
NO party can expect OF deserve sue
cess in the conduct OF national affairs
which Is not broad enough to compre-
bend many who differ widely in their
views on minor points. 1t will have a
right wing, a left wing, and a center
all coordinate parts OF one and the
same political party.
The Democratic party stands united
on the cardinal points above stated. 1t
has chosen a national committee to ar
range for Its National Convention. I ap-
peal to you as the great leader. for
whom l have cast my vote in former
Presidential campaigns, as one agreeing
with you on these points, though differ
Ing from you as to some others 10 use
your commanding influence to secure
harmony at Baltimore, not by opposing
the choice of any particular individual
as chairman OF the convention, but
rather in the line Of emphasizing points
or agreement instead OF points of diff
ferences. am for leaving the national
committee to act on the Recommendation
OF the subcommittee as It NAV think
most wise. Let the Republicans enioy
a monopoly of pre-convention person.

Baltimore, Nd, June 22--The clans are
Just beginning to gather in force for
the Democratic National Convention.
They have been coming in all the week
In small groups, but to-day carloads
are being dumped into Baltimore. The
city is already showing its incapacity
comfortably to absorb the greater throngs
thar will be here by Tuesday, when the
convention will open. The hotel Hobbies
now are jammed and locomotion in them
is uncomfortable. What the condition
win be when the full strength Of the
shouting hosts Is assembled can be i'm
agined.
Champ Clark stin looms big His lines
show neither break nor waver. His fol-
lowers are lusty and confident.
Wilson's supporters are depressed.
Their chief at this moment seems to
have been harder hit by the demand of
William Jennings Bryan for the six pro-
gressive candidates to Join him in op-
posing the election OF Judge Alton B.
Parker as temporary chairman than
have any Of the others. The reason is
that others have met the Bryan demand
openly and boldly. Wilson is reported to
have replied to Bryan at Chicago, but he
has not made the reply public. For this
the New Jersey candidate is being ac-
cused Of cowardice and evasion.
Harmon Forces CONFIDENT.
The Harmon people continue to present
a front Of serene confidence. In spite
Of the open hostility OF Bryan to the
Ohioan, the iatter's supporters assure
everybody they will get votes In plenty
on the four ballots from delegations that
the Nebraskan claims as his own, and
that their Uncle Jud' will land the
nomination on that ballot.
There appears very little hope of a
compromise OF the factions created by
the Bryan demand. According to both
sides, the hour Of cOmpromies has pass

Republican Speaking.

 Mr. Ivie is hard hitter, politically, and the "standpatters present enjoy ed his address very much Ivie is one of the old schcol of Republicans that "views with alarm" the prospects of Democratic success this fall. He says that people have become to look on prosperous times as a matter of course until they refuse to listen to political speeches and as a consequence he was not surprised to find so few out to hear him.
 He predicted that in four years from now, in the event of Wilson's election, it will be an easy matter to gather big crowds on the street corners on short notice. The people will by that time begin to wonder what hit them. He predicted that a period of depression like that of '92 to '97 will follow the advent of Democratic administration.
 He praised Congressman Floyd for his honesty and declared therein lies the danger. That he would endeavor to make good the Democratic platform which is against the prosperity of the people generally and the Third con- gressional district in particular.
