LINCOLN, July 7. (Special.) The big
demonstration which tbo local democrats
planned to hold here today In honor of
William J. Drjan fizzled out entirely. Both
the Tammany Hall and Cook County dole
ration, which were advertised to be in
Lincoln the day after the convention ad
journed, failed to put In an jpptarance and
when It was learned that they had genv
borne direct from Kan.as City the cele
bration was declared off. Arrangements
re now being made for a ratification nexi
week while the delegated to the fuel m
nominating conventions arc In the c.ty.
Adlal Stevenson has notified M. Bryan
that he will be hero early next week, cither
Monday or Tuesday, and an effort will be
made to Induce blm to stay over for tho
ratification.
Mr. Bryan has announced no plans for
the campaign and will probably not do go
until after he confers with his running
mat. Mr. Towne also Is expected In the
city either next week or the week follow
ing. About 150 tired and bedraggled demo
crats who went from this city to the na
tional democratic convention returned this
afternoon and marched from the depot to
the Bryan rcsldenco on D street to pay
their respects to their chieftain and receive
his welcome greeting In return. With tht
spectators gatbored up along the lino of
march there wore probably 200 persons In
front of tho new platform porch when Mr.
Bryan began to address tho returning
braves. The band played patriotic airs and
Mr. Bryan talked about patriotism, closing
his brief speech with the assert on that "If
the principles of tho democratic party arc
accepted we will bo able to celebrate tho
Fourth of July for years to come, and so
will our children and our children's chil
dren, but if the principles of the repub
lican party are accepted the celebration
of the Fourth of July will soon become a
farce, for It will be a farce for an empire
to celebrate the birth of freedom."
Local Club Alone Present.
Tho Traveling Men's Bryan club, tho
Bryan Home Guards, the Bryan Continental
Guards and the Jeffersonlan club were rep
resented In the aggregation of people In
front of Bryan's home. Cheers were given
tor each organization and for nearly every
one of prominence present.' Tho program
was short. Mr. Bryan occupied a position
In the center of his platform porch and
around him wero Mrs. Bryan. Mrs. W. D.
Welch, Miss Ruth Bryan, Charles W.
Bryan and several local admirers, Including
the recently converted A. It. Talbot. The
band played a patriotic nlr. which was fol
lowed by a cheer for Brynn and n round
tor "the democratic mule," to which Mr.
Bryan responded with a gracious bow. Tho
band then played "America" and Mr. Bryan
waved a flag with a spectacular flourish.
A round of cheers was next given for "the
next lady of tho White housj" and Mrs.
Bryan bowed In response.
Mr. Brynn's speech consisted chiefly of
congratulations for his visitors. He said
ho was glad so many true representatives
of the Nebraskan had gone to Kansas City
nnd that people of other states bad had a
chance to see them, adding thnt he was get
ting tired of acting as a sample himself.
Ho thought the democrats of Nebraska were
to be congratulated on the splendid delega
tion of stxteeen men who represented the
state In the convention. "The principles of
government and independence are at stake."
ho said, "and It is our duty to carry out
tho principles of 'My Country 'TIs of Thee.' "
He again approved the platform adopted at
Kansas City, saying that the true American
spirit ran through every plank and made the
whole a most patriotic document. He clcsed
with the prediction quoted above and the
visitors marched away
Minn Welch Pnlnfnll, Hurt.
MIm Ruth Bryan, accompanied by her
friend. Miss Helen Welch, returned from
Kansas City this afternoon. Miss Welch Is
suffering from n severe Injury received
while en route to Kansas City, which, how
ever, is more painful than serious.
Practically all of the Nebraska contingent
havo returned from tho Missouri city and It
Is not expected that there will be any visit
ing delegations In the city until Monday or
Tuesday, when the drawing cards, besides
Bryan, will be Adlal Stevenson and the dem
ocratic ratification. Many of the delegates
to the state fusion conventions will be In
tho city by that time and the local commit
tee hepes to he able to get out a crowd
large enough to fill the auditorium.

GARY GIVES OUT STATEMENT

Confrenoe.
i NEW YORK, July ".President Oary of
the Federal Steel company made this state
ment today In reference to tho recent con
ference among the iron and steel men:
i "The presidents of tho steel manufacturing
compantia and pig iron producers generally
have been In consultation with refrence to
general trade conditions. So far as I know
there has been and thorp Is no question of
any disagreement between them. No de
cision has been reached concerning any
dflnlte plan for tho reduction or maintenance
of priccti. Thero Is a feeling that the prke
of products has about reached bottom."
President (Jary was a3ked about the state
ment published In a trade Jcurnal to tbo
effect that some twenty blent furnaces, with
a total producing capacity of 700,000 tons,
had cIcrcI during tho month of June. Up
raid he only knew of twelve or thirteen
furnaces that had close" during that month,
but ho thought that perhaps a score of
others would not be abln to operate in ordi
nary tlmfe.
It was stated In flee; and Iron circles lere
totlny that th tiade has devllncd consider
ably recently and that the meeting bald litre
was for the purpose of reaching an agree
ment to support prices In spite of tho lack
of demand, If pceslble.
