NEW YORK. Aug. 3. Hon. Bourke Cock-
ran wns asked today If he would support a
third ticket If one were nominated , not-1C I
withstanding the views expressed In his In-1 !
tcrvlcw published yesterday. He said : "If | I
a convention bo held nt which all demo
crats can bo represented who , believing
that the party has been betrayed nt Chicago
cage , arc determined that Its principles
shall not perish for lack of cillclciit organ
ization and If n free Interchange ot opinion
be had among Its members I should be
strongly Inclined to accept Its decision. 1 j j I
think It more Important that the democratic { |
opponents ot Mr. Bryan should he united In
ono movement than that any particular form
ot co-opposition should be adopted.
"By the way , " Bald Mr. Cockran , "In Iho
comment ! ) on my Interview published this
morning I notice singular apprehension on
the part of sonic newspapers. It Is assumed
that the plan suggested by me contemplated
merely the assembling ot a convention
which would ndopt a genuinely democratic
platform , nominate McKlnley electors and
slop there. When I said that democrats
meeting In such a convention as I suggested ,
while nominating McKlnley electors , \rouM
provide for n really democratic opposition
to the McKlnlcy administration during the
period of Its existence , I thought It would
bo clear that I meant a substantial nnd
effective ! opposition. Such an opposition
could find an expression nowhere but in con
gress , nnd it could therefore bo maintained
only by bringing these democrats who , In
the face of treason and cowardice , remain
unyielding nnd untcrrlfled into a new or
ganization , which would nominate candi
dates for state olflccs , for congress nnd for
the state legislature In every state where
the existing organization had denounced the
ancient creed of the party by endorsing the
popullstlc platform and candidate. Every
democrat who refuses to support the Chicago
platform regards the defeat ot the absurd
propositions for which Mr. llryan stands
as the paramount Issue of the campaign
and since the simplest and most effective
method of accomplishing the result Is to
nominate McKlnley electors , I believe In fol
lowing that course. In a contest of this
character I believe tbo people would prefer
a direct to nn indirect method of express
ing their nbborencc of communism , populism
and anarchy. With Mr. Bryan nnd bis so
cialistic program disposed of , opposition to
McKlnley and McKlnleylsm would become
the duty of the democratic party. No or
ganization which had endorsed Bryan could
over bo considered democratic. If wo are to
have n democratic party In the future these
who chp.rlsh Its principles must be organized
to make up Iho defense of them , In city ,
utato and nation , the moment the so-called
regular organizations join the popullstlc
forces.
"These nro my Individual views rand I
hnvo seen no reason to modify them ; never
theless , I have no doubt that if a representa
tive democratic convention bo assembled ,
whatever course It may decide to ndopt will
prove to bo the wisest and best method of
dealing with this crisis. "

Passengers on a North Twenty-fourth
street car were well nigh tickled to death
at an Incident they witnessed near the
corner of Lake street last Saturday night.
Many well meaning but misguided people
will hold the bicycle that figured In the
Incident as the causa of the happening as
many other things huvo been laid at its
wheels.
For some time before the car reached
Lake street the passengers might have seen
a woman looking back every few minutes.
Her gaze appeared to bo fixed upon a couple
of bicyclists who were approaching , one a
man nnd the other n woman. The nearer
they came the greater became tier excite
ment.
Near Lake street the two wheelers had
almost come up with the car and the woman
oxcltcdly uroso and motioned the conductor.
The cor stopped with a sudden jolt , but
not quick enough for the woman , who
jumped oft while it was still In motion. By
this tlmo the two bikers were whizzing past
and apparently having a good tlmo In each
other's company ,
The passengers gaped In surprise to see
the woman rush forward and seize the male
biker by tbo leg. Ho came down wltb a
kerllop on the pavement , wlillo bis wheel
whirled off toward the curb. Then the
woman thumped him plenty and cried out :
"This Is what you call going on n run. Is
It. Mr. PhclpB ? "
"Ouch , Mary ! Stop , you are making a
scene ! " exclaimed Mr. Phelpa. But Mary
did not faro whether she made n scene or
not , and continued to pound Mr. Phelps
until she calmed down somewhat. Finally
the two went awny together after the car
pulled awny from lho corner. The other
woman did not stop to see the fun , but
scurrlod oft on her wheel.

LINCOLN , Aug. 3. ( Special. ) When W.
J , Bryan leaves for Now York next Friday
evening ho will carry with hltn a draft of
the speech which he Intends to use before
the notification committee In Madison Square
Garden. Ho has devoted considerable tlmo
to It already , but will put a few finishing
touches on It before It can be declared com
pleted. It will occupy between an hour and
an hour and a half In delivery , and will dis
cuss the Chicago platform In detail and give
his Interpretations thereof. Ho becomes
very Indignant at the charge that ho and
those who stand with him on the Chicago
platform are to bo classed as anarchists , or
that they aim to break down any of the laws
of the country. Mr , Bryan had something
to say about this charge in his Omaha speech
at the tlmo of the reception to him In that
city. In his New York speech ho will elab
orate the Idea and roundly denounce the .ac
cusation. Those who have been taken Into
bis confidence , and there Is certainly one ,
say that thU speech of Mr. Bryan will as-
touUU the c-iuntry and that U contains a
number ot uuw and pleasing metaphors
never before used on any stage , and which
have nothing In common with "crowns of
thorns" or "crosses of gold. " It Is under-
etood that Hon. Richard P. Bland , who will
be In Lincoln at the time of Mr. Bryan's
departure , will accompany him to New York ,
appear with him In Madison Square and
make a speech. It Is said that Mr. Bryan
will make no Bet speeches along the route ,
but wilt Indulge in Informal talks to the
people fruui the rear platform of coaches.

In speaking at both places. The audiences
at both places contained ninny republicans

democrats who have been for free silver
for a long time think It pretty hard to have
to got a republican who has got to the end
of his rope politically and who wants to
pluck all the persimmons politically to run
their campaign. So far there Is not a

for being defeated for office that has gone

DES MOINES , Aug. 3. ( Special Tele
gram. ) A secret conference wns held hero
Sunday night between National Commlttce-
nian Walsh , democratic , nnd the leaders of
state populists. Judge C. C. Cole , J. B.
Weaver , Thomas Meredith and others repre-
sentcd the populists. The conference was to
arrange n basis for a fusion for the two
parties for state and electoral tickets. H
was explained by the populists present that
they were favorable to fusion and that the
majority of their party was with them ,
but 1 there wns also n mlddlo-cf-thc-road
clement opposed to fusion on any terms.
J. E. Anderson ot Forest City , state chair
man , and A. R. Hammond of Cass county
lend this clement and have vigorously pro
tested. Desplto this the leaders wore satis
fied they could deliver the party endorse
ment If the ticket was divided fairly bc-
twten ' the two parties. The democracy , Mr.
Walsh said , wcs anxious to make any fair
terms. He then made n proposition for
the division of the state ticket between the
parties and for a division of the electoral
j
ticket between Scwall and Watson. It was
promptly j agreed to by the populists. The
terms ' of this proposition cannot be learned.
None of those present will say a word about I
the details. It will give the populists , it Is 1
understood , two nominations on the state
ticket and the rumor is they will be allowed
three electors while one elector will be
named by the blmutalllst party. All parties ,
agreed to this and it was determined that J '
the populists shall uot hold their convention |
till otter the democrats. Welsh pledged
himself to deliver the goods at Ottumwa .
and others bound themselves to come to j
Iho populist convention probably about two
\iccks later and endorse the agreement. It ;
has been the plan previously to hold both j
conventions at Ottumwa on the same date. >
The populists nro greatly pleased with the ;
terms made. Walsh Is equally satisfied , j
Democrats and populists alike , who were ,
In conference , were divided In their oplni'
Ions as to whether the deal will go through , j
It will arouse opposition In both conven-1
tlons. The middle-of-the-road populists nro
strong tu some parts of the state and the
full force of the sound money democratic
Influence will ojuioao fusion.
