THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: THURSDAY. JULY 9. 1003. f i BRYAN GREATLY PLEASED Viiibly Affected by Newi of the Demonstration at Denver. SAYS DEMOCRATS GOOD TO HIM Takes Time Hannah Off from Political to rrtf tar Bis Tea a Water melon and Divide It with HI Guests. (Fmm ft S-'taff Corespondent.) LINI OTA. Neh., .July . (Ppn l.il Tel egram.) W. J. liryan never In his life probably ahowed more emotion upon the receipt of political new than he did when the i tory of the demonstration for him at Denver was flashed over the wires to Falrvlew. The news came after a particularly quiet and uninteresting day. "The democrat have been good to me." he Bald with deep emotion In hU voice, "and I cannot find worda with which to xpreaa my appreciation of what tills demons! ration means." Mr. Bryan's voice was huaky when ho Cave out the expression and he evi denced In every way hla deep feeling; In the matter. This demonstration, show ing1 the absolute control of the conven tion by Bryan, probably answers the question whether he will no to Denver. It Is figured here that he will go only upon the urgent demand of the conven tion that lie come to It rather than the convention chine to him at Falrvlew. When the demonstration began Mr. Bryan and a dr.j'-n newspaper men, Robert F. Rose. whi 's .Vr. nryan'a secretary. And the telegrapher on the bulletin wire, occupied the ru.i i i in. os the g'asa enclosed porch la properly called. Five mlr-nites, ten min utes pasted with the wire clicking off de 'alla of the acene. The candidate, In alpaca fflee coat and vestless, smiled quietly at he news, but left comments to hl visitors. To a laughing question Mr. Bryan said: 'You credit me with too much Influence with the convention." "You wouldn't think so If you were there," exclaimed Arthur F.ngllah, a West 'Irglr.ian, who Is an old friend of the Ne caskan.' and had Just returned from lenver. In hla offlce In another part of the house Mother wire! removed from gaze, transacted uch business as Mr. Bryan had with the lelegates. This wire occupied, much of his itentlon, and during much of the demon stration he spent the time there with Mrs. sryan and hla daughter Oraoe, both of hom followed the bulletins with quick Merest and keen sympathy. During the day Mr. Bryan carved the lis Texaa watermelon for the benefit of hla guests. He read nil of the bulletins from t'enver with great Interest, nut had no comment to make for publication, sive the statement above. During the aftrrnroon Bailey Wagoner of Kansas, general counsel of the Missouri Pacific, waa In Lincoln, but so far" as known ho did not see Mr. Bryan. Mr. Wasc ner ' was reported to have given' out a statement In Kansas llmt Bryan told him he would not stand for Johnson for second place- on the ticket. According to A. 11 Talbot, local, attorney for the Mis souri raclflc, this statement was denied by Wagoner, though corroborated by Wag oner's son. Mr. Wagoner went .to Omaha tAni heie and will leave that city tonight for Kansas. 1 1 Si i;k ItE.'l lll.ICAN ACTIVE MectiMH of County Committer lipid f.r Organisation.

COLES IS CERTAIN OF TREACHERY Brooklyn Man Calls Mcf'arren, nlll van r.nd (iaffer Tools In the Hand of Republican Leaders. DENVER. July .The committee on credentials of tha- national democratic con vents concluded Its labors shortly after 10 o'clock today, after having been In con tinuous session since 6 o'clock yesterday afternoon. No attempt was made to restrict the time for the presentation of evidence In the various contests, the proceedings In which were all conducted with open doors. The Idaho, Ohio and Pennsylvania cases provoked much bitterness from the oppos ing SldtS Colonel James Guffey cf Pittsburg went down to defeat before the committee In all his contested cases, the contestants all being seated by a vote of 2i to 15. In the Idaho case, the Mormon faction was put to rout, the committee deciding In favor o'f the Dubois faction,, who were seated as delegates by a vote of 36 to 20. The Nineteenth Ohio district again was given to Tom Jonnson of Cleveland, who appeared In the committee room early this morning and made a strong plea taat the room earl g plea tl action of the national committee be sus tained. The Ninth district anti-Johnson delegates were allowed to retain their seats. . MnlllTan Sustained. The committee made short work of the Nw York, Illinois and District of Columbia contests, unanimously sustaining the action of the national committee In each case, which In the case of Illinois seats the Sul livan delegates. The fight of Oklahoma for eighteen dele gates Instead of fourteen resulted In a victory for the new state. The claim of Oklahoma was based on the allegation that there had been an Incorrect apportionment of the districts and the committee ac ceptd that view. t The Importance of the result of the night's work lies In the effect which the decision of the committee might have upon doubtful delegates or upon those whose acton ls controlled simply by specific In- at ructions of the conventions which elected them and who might welcome a pretext for evading those Instructions. It was an open secret, late last night and this morn ing that the elements opposed to the noml nation of William J. nryan for the presi dency based practically their last hope of success upon the rather remote possibility that drastic action of the credentials com mittee, more especially In the Pennsylvania cases, might provoke a revolt among dele gates none too cordial In their acceptance of pro-Bryan Instructions and sweep Into the anti-Bryan camp a number sufficient to give them the one more than one-third of the convention necessary to prevent Bryan's nomination. Failing that, It was all but conceded that Bryan's nomination has become what many have never ques tioned, a certainty. Pleat Over Credentials. There were other aspects of this matter which were freely discussed last night and this morning. One was the effect either way of the decision of the credentials committee, and of the convention in the Idaho cases. There, politically speaking, lay a very serious dilemma, as both sides of the controversy admitted. The con testants represented In considerable meas ure. It was said, the Mormon Interests in Idaho and the vote of that large element was In a measure at stake. The sitting delegation repudiated all proposals In the direction of compromise and It was clear that whichever was the committee and after the committee, the convention, might throw Its decision, the political effect would be Important. , In similar vein was couched the appeal of State Senator Patrick II. McCaren of Brooklyn for the seating of his delegates, which were unseated by the spring state convention held In New York City, not withstanding, according to the claim of MeCarren, the fact that they had been the undoubted choice of the voters of the party at the primary election. In a vehement argument before the com mittee. Senator MeCarren pointed out that even with all elements In the party united It would be exceedingly difficult for the democrats to carry New York state this fall; that the state was essential to the election of democratic candidate for the presidency and that the constituency of Brooklyn, famously jealous of Its rights, would retaliate for an Injustice to them In a fashion which no leadr, however powerful, would be able to forestall. Coler Tries Treachery. On the other hand, former Comptroller Bird S. Coler, scathingly attacked Mc Cat ten, alleging that he and ex-IJeutenant Governor William F. Sheehan and National Committeeman Ouffey of Pennsylvania were now In Denver engaged In a con spiracy to accomplish the defeat of the democratic party; that MeCarren was "tied hand and' feet" to the republican bosses In Brooklyn, under personal obliga tion to them and had himself brought about the defeat of William R. Hearst two years ago. when tho latter was the reg ular democratic candidate for governor of New York state. He further attributed 'baneful effects upon the party" to the Cleveland memorial resolutions offered In the convention yesterday by ex-Judge Alton B. Parker, and he alleged that Me Carren was behind that, too. A similar allegation waa brought In con nection with the Chicago cases against the newly re-elected national committeeman, Koger C Sullivan of Illinois, who waa charged by the Opposition with being the political ally of the republican sttate leader, Senator Albert J. Hopkins. The Pennsylvania cases, involving the membership of Colonel James M. Ouffay of Pittsburg tn tho national committee af forded a sensational episode in the open tng session of the convention yestefday. when the case was referred by Temporary Chairman Eell by sheer power of the gavel, to the credentials committee, In spite of vociferous demands of Colonel Guffey and his associates for a vote on the subject then and there. The denial of a roll call by the chairman was th subject of much discussion among the dele gates after the adjournment ot the con vent ion. and it was made plain that when the matter comes before the convention on the report of the credentials committee, the outcome will be anything but a foregone conclusion. Bryaa on Rrsolatloa. Meanwhile the comr.iittee on resolutions and later the subcommittee to which the platform was finally referred, was having a protracted meeting. The full committee remained in session until after 1 a. m, and heard arguments In favor of many proposed planks; then It adjourned until t p. m.. today, leaving the subcommittee to wrestle with the problem in detail. The feature of the subcommittee meeting was the reading by Governor Haskell of Okla homa, chairman of the full committee, for more than an hour, ot suggestions direct from Mr. Bryan as to planks on various subjects, which he desired the committee to embody In the platform, or at least to consider for It. These suggestions cover r 111 Is Rapidly Converting merchandise Into Money Thursday, July 9th Will be the 4th Day of the Greatest of Sales at Kilpatrick's There'll be excitement In the base ment salesroom over a recent pur chase of cotton voile; 15c was the price, and should be now.

It was broad daylight when the subcom mittee at last took a recess until 9 a. m. It ls hoped that its work will be finished In time to report the full platform to the whole committee at fi p. m. Possibly final adjournment of the enven ton on T'lursdiv, of which there h'd been a faint vies poet has been apparently ren dered rather remote by the postponement of the rep .rt of the platform committee, to .-ay rolhlni of the probability if extended dls russlo.i on tho convention floor today on 1) e report of the credentials committee.

The New York state delegation, which ui til now has emulated the characteris tically sphynx-llke silence of ts chieftain ltfcder Murphy of Tammany Hid, will hold a caucus at 4 p. m. today the third since Us arrival here and it is hoped that it will then make some decision as to Us attitude tiward the presidential nomination. At '.hat time it Is possible that tho delegation 1 .ay act also upon the; matter of a mem- bor of lie national committee to succeed Normal E. Mack of Buffalo. Indications multiply that Mr. Mack will be re-elected. On the formal program for today the main features is the address of Representative Henry D. Clayton of Alabama, who ls ex pected to be chosen as permanent chairman of the convention. While yesterday's ses sion was adjourned as a mark of respect to the memory of the late ex-President Grover Cleveland, the adjournment did not. In fact, defer any of the business of the conven tion. 8uch measure of delay as pertains to the convention is now due to the postpone ment of action upon the platform by the committee on resolutions. Whether this or the conflict over the seating of delegates in the contested cases shall. In fact, defer final adjournment, remains to be seen. Gavel of Historic .Wood. Durirjg today's session of the convention, gavel will be presented to Permanent Chairman Clayton which came from the old home of Andrew Jackson In Tennessee. It was sent to William J. Bryan by former Governor Benton McMUlen of Tennessee with the following letter: NASHVILLE, Tenn.. July 1. 1908. This gavel was made from hickory obtained by me from the Hermitage, home of Andrew Jackson and Is for use at the democratic national convention of 1pu8. BENTON McMILLEN. Tha gavel was sent by Mr. Bryan to Denver for use by Mr. Clayton when he became permanent chairman of the conven tion. Last night was a wild night in Denver, the western exuberance adding flavor and vim to the growing enthusiasm to the con vention crowds. People of the Colorado metropolis are leaving nothing undone In the way of entertainment of their visitors, and a perfect summer evening, than which even Denver never saw a loviler, helped matters along. The crowds were on the street singing, laughing and full of good natured fun, until far Into the morning, and a half doxen bands, some of them traveling about in illuminated street cars filled the night with music which sometimes got pretty compli cated, as for instance when two bands, or sometimes three, within the space of 100 yards or even In the, same hotel rotunda ploughed through different tunes. In dif ferent keys, each oblivious of tha other. A cloudless sky again smiled upon the scene when the day opened, but It promises to be hot today and the delegates will have an opportunity to see how a hut day In the Denver convention hall compares with the stifling, sweltering atmosphere which well nigh smothered them four years ago in St. Louis.

DENVER, Colo., July 8.-The supreme fight of today n.nges about thenntest over liie Pennsylvania delegation ana ine ais placement ttf Colonel James M. Guffey of Pittsburg, for years leader of the Penn sylvania democracy. Intense Interest has been awakened over this all-night fight, which culminated at 10 o'clock this morning when the element friendly to Mr. Bryan secured a con-plote victory before the committee on credentials. This was but the prelude to a contest of Intense bitterness on the floor of the con vention today, as Colonel Guffey and his lieutenants Immediately announced their determination to fight to the last ditch. It was not alone a personal fight, but one to some extent Involving he presidential nomination Itself, for if Guffey should be finally and decisively unhorsed before the convention today It means that the one rallying point of the anti-Bryan forces had gone to pieces; whereas a Guffey fight on the floor of the convention means the first show down" cf a roll call between the two contesting elements Bryan and antl Bran. Here, then, was to be the first alignment which might force New York Into the open and compel other wavering delegations to show their colors. Goffer Is Stnnned. Colonel Guffey was fairly stunned when word was brought to him of the action of the committee. "Can It be possible," said he, "that this disfranchisement of men rep resenting the sovereign state of Pennsyl vania, men holding certification under the , great seal of the commonwealth, has delib- trately taken place?" The report of what had been done was laid before Colonel Guffey by John M. Garman. former democratic state chairman of Pennsylvania, and Pennsylvania members of the credentials committee. All night h? had stood at the door of the committee room, refused a place owing to the pending contest, but always on guard, without food or relief, through the early morning hours until the final action was taken. His summary of the situation to Colonel Guffey was this: "Eight of our Phlladephla delegates have been unseated and eight contestants put In their place. Prior to this action the Pennsylvania vote stood 324 for Guffey to 2'.H for Kerr. But taking off the eight Philadelphia delegates and adding the eight contestants gives Kerr Sihi votes to Guffey's 32V4 votes, with Uoyall net vot- Ing as he refuses to take sides. Tie selection of Colonel Guffey as chairman of the national committee Is referred back to the Pennaylvanla delegation, whle h means that If the credentials committee re port ls sustained by the convention the antl-Guffey forces will make a new selec tion for a national committeeman, from Pennsylvania." Ready to Fight on Floor. Immediately steps were taken to carry the contest to the floor of the convention, and Colonel Guffey Issued the following formal protest: "Pennsylvania's delegates came to this convention, elected under the statutes ot Pennaylvanla, their election being certified not alone by the commissioners of the dis trict, but by the secretary of the common wealth of Pennsylvania. Not a shadow of complaint was made as to any of these delegates. This delegation was certified to the national committee by the chairman and secretary of the state of Pennsylvania. Notice of contests In a few districts were filed with the national committee. A sub committee of the national committee was appointed, and a full and absolute hearing given these contestants. "The subcommittee reported unanimously In favor of tha certified delegation. The national committee, as a body, unanimously adopted the report of the subcommittee and this action made the report of Pennsylvania In the the preliminary organisation abso lute. Nothing could question their right to sit and participate In the business of the convention. The delegation prior to the meeting of the convention, caucused for the purpose of organisation, forty-seven out of a total of sixty-eight participants. Resralarlty Claimed. ' "I waa made chairman of the delegation and members of the various committees for the convention were appointed. I was elected a member of the national commit tee. Notwithstanding all this regularity, the temporary chairman of the national committee refused to permit Pennsyl vania's. delegation to take part in tha de liberations of the convention or Its com mittees, thereby disfranchising the sov ereignty of a great state." Colonel Ouffey Is prepared not only to contest for the supremacy of his delegates, but ha ls preparing to meet a personal at tack on the floor, his ammunition bags being hastily filled with a complement cf MERCHA lace trimmed, tit, each 15 Fine lisle Vests, plain or crochet trimmed, sold up to 5 0c ea.. 9 Will clean tip I'niou Suits.
