! BALTIMORE. July 3-Whilc the Demo-
cratic convention ended wi IN an outward
show Of harmony it was cv.'r-'. to-day
that events OF the last wccn novs left
bitter feelings in many breasts
Chamr Clark aud his friends have
announced that they will support the
nominee of ~" party. iui down under the
surface the selection Of Wilson rankies
aud they hate Byan with n titicrness
that is certain to breed trouble.
Clark's friends blame his defeat solely
upon bryan. There is nothing mean
enough that they can say about him
They accuse him Of being two faced and
disloyal TO a friend. They declare that
Bryan was actuated solely by his own
ambition when he made his unjust attack
on Champ Clark.
Bryan" said one of these Clark men
tonight never intended that Woodrow
Wilson should he nominated any more
than he intended that Clark should have
the prize. Bryan was simply iockeying
for u situation IN which he might get the
nomination himself
"The trouble was that tho Wilson
movement go, away from him. lie didn't
believe Wilson ever could be nominated
without New York states vote, and he had
paved the way to prevent his nomination
10y announcing that he would withdraw
his own support as soon IA the New York
delegation went to New Jerseys Gov
"rnur. There wasn't man in Conv.u-
,ion Hall half as disappointed as William
!. Bryan wh"n i, hccmae known that
Wilson was To- be- rdmed
- i
have cut Wilson = political throat in a
minute If he could only have found the
Opportunity to thus advance his own
c.ndidacy. He was rlayinE Wilson
against Clark and Cltrh against Wilson,
and out Of the mudilr 'r hoped would
como Bryan. When the Wilson move
, rIcnt began 10 gather stronCth and take
on an appearance Of danger. what did
Bryan do: He Issued a statement, draw!
IN his adroit wa. suggesting the names
oi hIe men az cJmnrrmise candidates.
tn" larpose OF that statement was To-
Great" the impression that the time had
arrived In drop both Clark anl. Wilson
and turn /" "a thlrd candidate.

; Lacked by Henry {. frich. the rittshurg
steel man. trick, they sild. was putting
W the greater part Of the money tor tho
! Wilson prcConvention fight thus making
the Wilson candidacy Jus, as open TO
criticism from Bryan as the Clark can
didacy. The Pennsylvania Railroad and
| other interests were likewise playing the
role of angel" for Woodrow Wilson, it
was said hy some Of the Clark people.
| l'he rou-inG reception given 70 Speaker
Clark when he entered the House to-day
has served to obscure for "a time at least
| the shadows which many here think the
Bryan attack on Clark cast over the unity
of the House Democrats,
! The bitterness shown bv Clark and his
supporters in their references to Bryan
would, it had been supposed, cause "A
| rift III the party in the House. which in
cliidcs many ardent Bryan men. To-day,
J however, all except som" oi ClHrk more
| intimate associates seemed disposed to
bury the hatchet in the general rejoicing
over the nomination of Wilson The real
effects Of the Bryant lark break will not
be discerned for some lime, political sages
here are now prophesyinG
There are also ominous rumors Of
break between Clari; and Leader Under
wood. 1t il known that the Speaker and
his supporters resented the failure of
! the Alabaman and his managers 10 throw
| TO Clark the 100 votes which Cnderw ood
! had most of the time. Senator Bankh'ad
comes in for a good share of therescntment
felt by the Clark people on this point.
! Tho fact of the matter, Is that the
/ Speaker, his family and all his as.ocates
! had looked on the nomination a. practi-
! cally his when the convention opened.
The treatment accorded the Clark Candi-
dacy by the convention has laccratod the
feelings of the Speaker and his associates
so that they cannot even think of II with
| out heat,
