"1 came to Lincoln for the purpose of
talking with Mr. Bryan on matters pertajn
lng to the success of the democratic ticket, '
said Congressman Suiter today. "I have no
higher ambition in politics than to see Mr
Bryan president and 1 will gladly subordi
nate all my ambitions to bring that about
1 am aot seeking the vice presidential nom
ination. .. number of friends have Inter
ested themselves la ay behalf, possibly
thinking that I am a bigger man than I
really am. I would not say what Mr
Bryan and I taked of, tor that would not
be right. I can say In a general way, how
ever, that we discussed subjects relating to
the success of the party in the pending cam
paign. "The platform adopted at Kansas City
will reaffirm tbe one adopted at Chicago
with strong additional planks on the issues
that have arisen tinre l.H". I am not In
favor of the least modification ot the money
plank of the platform ct four years ao.
The democrats of our state. New York, feel
quite hopeful of carrying it for Bryan this
fall. 1 want to we fclm cU-cted and cire
not whetbcrj.aci chosen for iho tice pres
idency or not. 1 am pretty well satisfied
with my position as a congressman."
Mr. Sulicr said he had no direct informa
tion as to the expected visit of Richard
Croker and Edward Murphy, but thought
that they would ttop here before going to
Kansas City. Mr Bryan Is very anxious to
see Croker and if his wishes are observed
the New Yorker will go to Kansas City
via thlt city
This afternoon Mr. Bryan. Congressman
Sulaer. Colonel Pieg! and a party of news-
paper men visited the former's twenty-five
acre farm a mile east ot the city.
James Hamilton Lewis said he stopped
at Lincoln because it was on his way to
Kansas Pity and he wished to pay his re
spects to Mr. Bryan, that as a result he
was drawn into a conference hold this evea
Ing, at which the democratic platform
vice presidency and chalrmant his of the
national oommitte-e were discussed In turn.

"I am satisfied in my ow-n mind." said
Colonel Lewis, "that Mr. Bryan ls opposed
to the omission in the financial plank of
the platform of a direct demand for tbe
free coinage et gold and silver at the ratio
of 16 to 1. '
Of the results ot the conference. Mi
Lewis said that it wvuld be Improper for
htm to speak concerning his ow-n candidacy
for the vice presidential nomination. Col
onel Lewis eixil.e modestly. "My own
state," said he. "complimented me by in
structing the delegates to pre-sent my name
and tbe rbairman of the delegation is al
roady In Kansas '"tty. where be has es
tablished headquarters. Idaho and Oregon
will le lor roe aad under certain contin
gencies I aay pet the support ot Mon
tana.'' "Do you think it e.entll to drmorratle
success to ssoialBate a New Yorker for sec
ond place" Mr. Lewis was atked.
"Ne, not etfentlal. bwt politic. Tbe ratt
will br the battleground aad the chances
for sHec-tinc a Pacific ast man like myself
for Mr. Bryss'r running acmr. 1 must con
fess, are reaootc. Straagrr things have hap
pened, however, and 1 feel complimented at
the support given me "
Mr. Lewis said Wathington w-rruld not
give Mr Bryan the majority It did four
