MIDDLE CLASS IS DISAPPEARING F.nglUh Hold the Civil Plaeea to Which Young Irishmen Oar Aspired and Ef Army Mfe la Closed. - . DUBLIN. July 14. (Special.) One of the moot slgnlflcsnt steps whlrh has yet been taken In the struggle for Irish self government Is the recent organisation In Dublin of the Irish Imperial Home Rule association, which has the hacking of the commercial and land-owning classes of the country, hitherto the backbone of the unionist party In Ireland. The association, a Its name Implies, la formed to promote the cause of Irlah home rule "within the empire." That la to Bay. the organlxers domand for Ireland full control of Ita own affairs, reserving to the Imperial Parlia ment at Westminster only the control of those affairs thnt afreet the British em pire as a whole. The whole program of the association i briefly set out In the fol lowing resolutions, which were adopted at the first mooting: "Thnt self-government, with Imperial unity. Is necrssnry to the full and natural development of Ireland. "Thnt the existing system of Irish gov ernment Is unsatisfactory, both from the Imperial and national standpoints, and de mands Immediate and radical reform. "That a union of all ac Mai classes and the ad lerents of the various rallgloua ere Is Is necessary and desirable to succeed In obtaining and conducting Irish national elf -government. "Thnt the demand for national self-government should be compiled with on as ertlin of the right of Irishmen to par ticipate ua partners In the development and conduct of the British empire, to which thry so largely contribute, and that any. policy which fails to assert the Im perial r:elits of Ireland does not repre- ant the full national claim of Irishmen." Frank Statement of Belief. The association declares boldly that Ire land has nothing to expect from any Eng- Hsh government, whig or tory, and does not hesitate to stats that the object of suc ceeding English government seems to be to perpetuate the unjust financial treatment of Ireland by England. The law. In Ireland at least, has at last taken cognisance of the ancient and hon crnble profession of begging. The at torney grn"ral sitting at Dublin castle for the j-.urp-iM- of. bearing claUfiB for next of k'n 10 c r.iiln prop rtles, admitted the claim of the heirs of the lute Patrick Lynch of Ballihogh, County Cavan, who left 11.000. It " is stated in the application that Lynch. who dU'd Intestate, "followed the occupation of a beggarman." He seems to have done fairly well at his profession. SmaaraJInsr Caae Decided. One Is carried back to the old days when little of the wine and brandy consumed by the Irish gentry paid taxes to the king by a case; which has Just been decided In the Dublin law courts. The customs author- ltlea petitioned for the forfeiture of the Dutch schooner Cosmopolite, which was captured off the Cork coast by the gun boat Skipjack. The Cosmopolite had on board about 4,noo pounds of, tobacco, and I In tho captain's locker were found Irlah bank notes and English gold to the value of about 11,000. The captain of the Cosmo. polite declared that lie was bound from Rotterdam to Iceland, but he could not explain how he came to be so far out of Ms course, nor how he came into posses Ion of the Irish bank notes. The court decided that he had been running cargoes of Illicit tobacco to dealers on the Irish coast and ordered his ahlp and cargo to be confiscated. O'liare an Mothrr-ls-Un, Mr. Peter O'Hare of Belfast has dlsoav red a short way of dealing with the sthcr-ln-law difficulty, which has not however, met with the approval of the IieK:isl magistrates. O'Hare returned hon.e a few nights ago and found hi mMrr-ln-liw In the house. Her remarks del ret picas- him and seising her by the lull-, lis dragged her, struggling and pro tea In .linn the street, where he mounted a lii'ire I lot and offered her at auction 11 i'u',.islt'i of her many good qualille Old not attract any bidders, but they did attract the police, who tried to persuad O'llaio to withdrsw his mother-in-law from ale and go home. They did not succeed so they resorted to force. Twenty police men were more or less Injured In the pro fess and the next morning O'Hare was stony tenced to six months' Imprisonment. Dealing- with Twbarealoala. A long step forward In the fight again tuberculosis In Ireland has been taken by the government bill dealing with the sub Joct. which has the support of all parties and which Is, therefore. Insured of passage The bill provides that doctors must notify all cases of consumption coming under their notice, as they now notify smallpox and other Infectious diseases, under penalty of 110 for each omission. A prtmtsca In which a case Is discovered will at once be closed and disinfected and county councils and other local authorities may erect sanatorium for the treatment of consumption. So far compulsory lo la (Ion of consumptive patients Is rot pro vlded for, but It Is expected thst this wl follow before long. Ke Place for I risk ate a. Even the unionist newspaper of Grea Britain are waking up to the condition brought about by English mlsgovernmen In Ireland. An article In the Pall Ms Gasttte of London on "The Disappearing Irish Middle Class" has been widely quoted throughout Ireland and there can be no question of Its truth. The writer point out that the civil service which used to afford employment to educated young Irishmen, la now almost entirely filled by Inferior Englishmen, the reatdent mag Is tracy by English lawyers, who have failed at their profession, and even the army which used to offer a career to the Iris gentry Is now closed to them by the fact that the Irish regiments are no longer al lowed to serve In Ireland, their place being taken by Scotch and English soldiers. en the vice regal court Is now manned almost entirely by English officials. jr. x. cm j .km, SUMMARY OF TUE W Kiailar.

MONEY TO SAVE THE BABIES ( hlrago C ity Coanell Makes Appro priation to Disseminate Infor mation Anions; Poor. CHICAGO, July 11. To ssve bablea lives. the city council of Chicago made a special appropriation of $10,000 last night. Intestinal diseases among Infants, caused chiefly by the hot weather, have been of such frequer.t occurrence In Chicago that according to relative figures, the total deaths of babies due to these complaints this year will reach the startling total of S.414. Alarmed at the prospect of this wholesale slaughter of the Innocents, the council authorised the transfer of $10,000 to pay 100 physician, who will be employed by the city to desslmlnate Information concerning the cause and prevention of summer sick notes among babies. Wyoming Law Defective. CHEYENNE. Wyo., July ll.-(Speclal.) The state of Wyoming is being "worked" by horse owners of other states, who are accused of shipping glandered horses to Wyoming, reporting them to the state veterinarian and having them killed by the state's agents and receiving pay for the diseased animals from the state at the rate of about $150 per head. Although the outbreaks of glanders have been Isolated at.d not of frequent occurrence until the last few months, and although the state veter inarian's force has been at work for sev eral years and has expended large sums of money, the disease has not been eradi cated, and there Is more of the Infection In the state at the present time than ever before. The people of the state are gradually awaking to th fact that there is something wrong somewhere, and at the coming ses sion of the legislature In January the present law covering the subject of glandered horses will be gone over and some needed amendments undoubtedly made. That horse owners from neighboring tales are taking advantage of the Wyo ming laws, which Indemnify owner of glandered horses killed by state authori ties, there U no longer any doubt, 4 TO SEE OFT Hot Springs Becomes Mecca of Republican Leaders. ELMER DOVER IS FIRST CALLER Rumor that Wade H. Ellis is to Be Assistant Attorney General. BURTON MAY NOT BE CANDIDATE ' Report that He is to Contest Fora ker's Seat Discredited. MONEY IN LETTERS FOR SHELDON fc amber of People Write, Hoplnar to Be .First ta Contribute to the C'ampalarn Fnnds of Partr. HOT SPRINGS, Va July 11. The many conferences that have been held by William H. Taft concerning the plans for the cam paign during the last week have pi evented him from devoting as much attention to his correspondence as Is necessary to kep pace with the flood of letters that are coming to him. Frank H. Hltchcotk, chair man of the republican national commit tee; Postmaster General Meyer and Wil liam Nelson Cromwell left last evening. Today Elmer Dover, secretary of th1" national republican committee, arrived on the early train and was the first caller Mr. Taft saw In his office. Attorney General Wade H. Ellis, who It is said, has been offered the assistant attorney generalship, to succeed Milton D. Purdy, recently appointed United States district judge in Minnesota, Is ill and wag not able to come here today In response to an Invitation by Mr. Taft. Mr. Ellis has telegraphed that hta brother will visit Hot Springs probably today and will confer with Mr. Taft In his place. Barton Mar Not Be Candidate. Representative Burton of Ohio, who has been extensively talked of In connection with the Ohio senatorshlp In succession to J. B. Forakcr, declared that It is not his Intcr.tion to enter any senatorial race If party strife of any kind to embarrass the national ticket would result from taking that course. Mr. Burton will sail from New York next Saturday for Europe to be gone five or six weeks. He will spend most of his time in London, where he will gather data for the national monetary commis sion. He will probably go on the same mission to Paris. He will also gather in formation of value to the Waterways com mission, of which he Is a member. He vis ited the scene of various improvements to navigation in Europe five years ago and will hastily look over the ground again to see If there has been the Increase In trade that was expected as the result of the im provements. 1 Senator 8 moot of Utah will go abroad on the same steamer. Money for Csmsalgs Faad. "I have received a doten checks since I have been In Hot Bprlngs from people who wished ta make the first contribution to the republican part , for the campaign,' said Oeorge R. Sheldon of New York, treasurer of the republican national com' 111 It tee, today. Asked when he would open his office for campaign funds, Mr. Sheldon replied that he would do so In New York Monday morn ing. He will leave here tonight. Mr. Shel don declared In an Interview today that ho Is convinced the American people will never accept the radicalism of the demo cratlc convention. Arthur 1. Vorys of Ohio will be here Monday to confer with Mr. Taft. John A. Stewart, president of the New York State League of Republican Clubs, Is here. Headquarter in New York. WASHINGTON. July U.-Chalrman Frank II. Hitchcock of the republican na tlonal committee arrived here today from Hot Springs, where he has been in confer ence with Judge Taft. Thus tir he has made no definite plans for his sojourn In Washington, which will be comparatively brief. He will close the Taft headquarter here perhaps In a few days and probably open permanent headquarters of the national committee In New York City. Arrange ments are now being made for the head quarters In New York. Flag; from Philippines. CINCINNATI. O.. July 11. Admirers of William II. Taft In the Philippines have furnished the material for the flag which will be raised In Cincinnati In his honor July 28. This announcement was made today by the committee having charge of the ceremonies of raising the flag. When Mr. Taft's friends In the faraway Islands learned that he would be a candi date for the presidency they asked for the privilege of furnishing the banner. DIFFFIt ETE IN TUB APPLICATION Frencn Newspaper Can Sea Little to Separate Partlea. PARIS. July 11. The Temps this morning says It thinks the delirium at the demo cratlc conversion in Denver proves that Bryan Is again in complete control of the democracy. After saying that the war now declared by the democracy against the trusts and the railroads la manifestly con trary to ancient domestic tradition, which Is hostile to the federal power, the paper concludes Its article with these words: "Both parties have token up the same battle cry and a characteristic of the pre enrt campaign is the similarity of the pro gram of' the opposing forces. There Is practically no difference between them n.1 there is only a temperamental difference between the two men, one of whom may be selected to apply them. The Journal Des Debats takes a similar view of what It calls the Identity of the two platforms. "The contest under these conditions," this paper says, "Is largely a question of the personality of the candl dates. Mr. Tuft's final victory, however, seems to be almost assured. Certain it Is that Mr. Bryan's personality attracts much sympathy through the United States, where his sincerity and eloquence are universally admired and appreciated, but Mr. Taft, If less popular, has behind him Preslder.i Roosevelt, whose Influence Is predomlna ting." HEARST DOES NOT FAVOR BRYAN New York Publisher Hot Yet Appeased by I.laeela Man. NEW YORK. July ll.-That William J Bryan Is not to have the support of Will lam K. Hearst Is indicated today by the attitude of Mr. Hearst two New York newspapers, the American and the Evening Journal. The two ptpcra announce a loss of confidence on their part, both In the democratic part and In Mr. Bryan, CLUE TO GANG OF THIEVES Confession of Slnux Indian Mar Lead to Arrest of It asllrnt. Cattle SIOUX FALI.S. P. I). July 11 (Special I Something of a sensation has been cre sted in Gregory and Trlrr counties by a confession made a few tlays ai by "Pete'' Thompson, a Sioux Indian belonging to the Bosebud Indian reservation, to the effect that certain white men living In the vicinity of the reservation have systematically in duced Indians to steal horses and cattle, and that the white men concerned have nao a business of purchasing the stolen animals, knowing thfm to have been stolen. Thompson was one of the actors In an exciting Incident recently. An Indian po liceman wus sent to arrest him on the charge of horse stealing on the reservation. I'pon the approach of the policeman Thompson fled, and the policeman gave chase, both being mounted on ponies. The pony ridden by the Indian policeman proved the swifter of the two and he gained on Thompson to such an extent that capture of the latter seemed Imminent, when Thompson, rather than be captured, drew his six-shooter and shot himself under the chin In an effort to commit suicide. But the effort was a failure, as he is yet alive and It Is stated he will recover, notwithstanding that th bullet Is lodged between his eyes. After regaining con sciousness he confessed that he had stolen a number of horses which have disappeared recently from the reservation, and also Im plicated the white men In the wholesale thefts of animals on the reservation. As a sequel to the confession it Is ex pected that several arrests will soon be made. SOUTH CAROLINA TAKES WATER Bin; Battleship Launched at Phila delphia with Much Cere mony. PHILADELPHIA. July 11. Amid the din of steam whistles ashore and afloat and the cheering of thousands of persons as sembled to witness the event, the "all big gun" battleship South Carolina was launched at 12:05 p. m. today at Cramp's ship yard on the Delaware river. As the latest addition to the American navy slipped Into the water Miss Fredericks Calvert Ansel, daughter of Governor Ansel of 3outh Carolina, broke the traditional bottle of wine against' the prow of the great hull and gave the big sea fighter its name. The South Carolina Is the second of the two "all big gun" battleships author ised by congress, the other being the Michigan, which was recently launched at Camden, N. J. The main battery of the South Carolln will consist of eight 12-Inch breech-loading rifles mounted in four turrets, and so ar ranged that each gun can fire two shots a minute. These guns will be able to fire on either broadside, and will permit six teen 3.V-pound projectiles to be discharged every minute. The South Carolina will also have a battery of about thirty $-inch and smaller guns to afford protection from tor pedo boats and destroyers, and will carry an armament of submerged torpedo tubes Including the armor, armament and outfit. the batileshtp will cost about $7,000,000. It will be turned over to the government on December 21, 19C9, and when In commission will carry a total complement of nearly f0 men. .1 CARTOONS BASIS OF LIBEL Mayor Reybarn of Philadelphia Brings Snlt Against North American Staff.

July ll.-Hughey Jen nlngs appears to be of the opinion that his teem of the Detroit Tigers is of cham plonshlp calibre again this season. He say that the Tigers are Just hitting their stride and that from now on all the teums In the American league want to keep their weather eyes poeled on the doings of Detroit. "The pitching staff Is Just get ting Into form, and I expect them to ge along steadily until the end of the season now. Of course, the White Sox are not out of the running by any means and are always a dangerous proposition, but do not look to them to take the loague honor this yesr. The Athletics, now that they are playing on their home grounds will begin to play good ball, I expect, but I don t think they are reolly dangerous. Tho St. Louis Browns have yet to exper ience the season's slump, and when they do I think they will practically be out of the running," said the manager of las year's American league champions.

SOME STOP TO SEE CANDIDATE Bryan Goes to Depot, However, to Pay His Respects to Tammany. NEBRASKANS THE FIB ST TO CALL 00 Tired ani Worn Out to Cheer Even at Si?ht of Leader. FIRST FRONT PORCH SPEECH Uryan Informs Ills Auditors He Is Satisfied with Both the Head and Tail of the Tlrket and the Platform. (From a Staff Correspondent ) LINCOLN. July 11. (Special Telegram. First of all delegations to vit-it Falrvlw on the return from Denver was the Lincoln Prysn club and the Traveling men's Bryan club of this city. They arrived this morn- ng and hastened to the home of the Ne braska candidate, where after congratula tions, he responded with the second ad dress following his nomination. The Bryan men on their way back suc ceeded In tesrlng a continuous hole In th ntmosphere through Nebraska In cele bration of their victory In the mountain city and wherever possible, they let It bn known what had happened and their part In the event followed by Inference. At North Platte. O. W. Ilerge. who accom panied the partv, seized the opportunity offered by a few minutes' wait of the train and delivered a Bryan speech from the rem car. It Is claimed for him that he has opened the Bryan campaign In Nebraska with the first speech for the democratic leader and as Mr Berge la not neglecting any opportunity to advance his own can didacy for the nomination of governor. It Is claimed this will add a Bryan flavor to his utterances from this time on. Cold One From Tammany. Mr. Bryan, soon after the visit of the Lincoln clubs, sought a little sleep, having not yet made up that lost during the con vention. He expects to be called upon at all hours of the day and Is evidently fcrtl- fylng himself against the future. This afternoon at 2 o'clock, he will meet thi! Tammany special train ot. the Rock Island depot. There has been considerable com ment here at the tone of the telegram sent him by the New York braves In response to his Invitation to spend a few hours at Fairvlew. They said they would see him at the depot and Mr. Bryan de cided to go. This morning a banner was found stretched across the street leading to the Burlington station bearing the Inscription In honor ot our distinguished citizen William Jennings Bryan, we extend hearty welcome." Address to the Clabs. Tn his address this morning, Mr. Bryan expressed the highest, admiration for tho democratic platform, Mr. Kern, his running mate, and declared that the publicity of campaign contributions would give the people a chance to elect their choice to office. Mr. Bryan spoke In part as fol lows: I do not think any state was better represented at Denver than Nebraska, and for proof of that I can simply remind you that you were the? only stato represented there that secured the nomination of a candidate for president from its own state." Laughter and applause greeted this rally and Mr. Bryan continued: "I am as much pleased with the platform as I am with !n the nomination for the first place, and I am as much pleased with tho second nomination as I am with the platform. "I think that this con ventlon leaves a very different Impression than that given by the convention In Chi cago. In that convention the platform did not present what the reform element of the party wanted, and when the convention was over there was a feeling of discour agement and disappointment. But the democratic party in this convention has given us a platform that I believe ex presses the deliberate sentiment of that large and growing reform element In this country. (Applause). Kern in Perfect Harmony. "I am satisfied that It is going to appeal not only to all democrats, but to a great many republicans. And I am sure that when people come to know John W. Kern as I have known him for many years, they will bellee, as I do, that he Is In perfect harmony with the platform and can be trusted to carry that platform out to the letter If circumstances should place upon him the responsibility for Its enforce ment. (Applause). "Now we are going to commence our campaign, and with a publicity plank that announces an honest purpose and proclaim an honest position, we will be able to ap peal to the honest sentiment of the country. Gentlemen, there has been great growth In politics in this country, and that plank Illustrates one phase of that growth. For a quarter of a centuiy the country has been seeing more and more of corporate domination In politics; for a quarter of a century the country has witnessed cam paign after campaign In which great pred atory Interests would secretly contribute enormous sums to debauch elections, an-1 then control the government In return for contributions given. Our convention marks a new era In American politics. Elections Public Affairs. "Henceforth, the Idea that 1 going to grow is that elections are public affairs, and that the people, shall have a right to know what Influences are at work, and I am delighted that our party has taken the initiative, and when the republican party. In Its convention, by a vote over whelming, turned down that proposition, the democratic party, by a vote that was unanimous, endorsed It and made It one of the tenets of Its faith. "Now, we are crolng out to appeal to this awakened conscience, and give to the coun try sssurar.ee that If our party Is entrusted with power, we shall make this government again a people's government, in which the goernment officials will respond promptly to the sentiment of '.he whole people; end our platform has given us a slogan that every one can echo, and that I believe that a majority of American people will echo, 'It the people rule." " The conclusion f ti e address was cheered. Chief In Importance among the visits to be made here will be the tiip to Fair view of members of the new national com mittee next Tuesday, when campaign plans will be discussed and the matter of a new chairman taken up Inform DANGER IN PANAMA NOT OVERj Electoral Oltnatton Yrt Acute Elec-I tlone tloaelr Wntrhed by Americans. PANAMA, July 11 Tho electoral situa tion has been much cleared with the with drawal of Rlcardo Arias, the constlutlonil candidate for the presidency, but In spite of this, the adiierents of Domingo 1 . Obaldia. the Independent .andldut. hsv, relaxed their efforts but very ilttle and It Is planriid to elect Sennr Obaldia as con clusively as possibly. Since the withdrawal of Arias the possi bility of American Intervention Is much more remote, but even so the condition of affalis is critical. The followers of Aries will he at the polls and trouble anil dis order are not by any means out of the question. The governor of the cnnsl zon hss sent to every town of the republic commissioners to watch the elections ami take note of everything that occurs. Among these men are thirteen American army officers and as many mnre em ployes of the canal committee. The senti ment of the country Is undoubtedly with Obaldia, who Is supported by the liberal party, which counts at least (50 per cent on the population of Panama and about one-half of the constitutionals. Obaldia Is a wealthy cattle owner of Chlri-iul. son of an ex-preildent of Colombia and he has In the past been governor of the state of Panama and act'ng president of the re public. If the people se that their rights to vote as they please are not respected at the polls tomorrow there Is bound to be serious disorder, becnu.e they ur many who would prefer American occupation to a continuance of the unsatisfactory sys tem of government they have had In the psst. The American authorities are fully pre pared to see that the elections are fair and to put down any '-rious trouble with energy. Two hunoerd and seventy-six presidential electors are to be eliosen and out of this total It is predicted that no less than 200 will be for Obaldia. The elec tors will meet August 1" to elect a presi dent. AYHA0 WAS IN KILLING MOOD Murder of AmerkSnna In Neanros With out ItearSai on Part of K atl ves. MANILA. July 11. The bodies of H. D, Everett, a government forester, and T. R, Wakely, a school teacher, who were mur dered several weeks ago by tribesmen while on an expedition Into the unexplored mountain regions of the Island of Negroa. havo been recovered by Lieutenant Ahem of the constabulary forces after a dlfflcul and dangerous search. Lieutenant Ahem tells of finding the bodies in the following telegrani which has been received here: Am returning with remains of Everett and Wakely, which we found near their last camp In the Bayaual mountains. At first our guides were apparently afraid to lead us Into the mountains of the Interior Island alor.jn the route traveled by the two murdered men. Luckily we at length suc ceeded In securing guides who were ac quainted with Ayhao, the leader of the murderers, and who took us to the last camp of Eveiett .and Wakely. Ayhao, it was explained, planned tho murder while acting as one if the native guides which were conducting the two white men Into the interior of the Island. While gambllrg with the other guides he drug-Jed the entire party with- the fumes from a plant. Ayhao and somn follower then killed Everett and Wakely and five fiildes. I lie only excuse given oy Ayna j jr murdering the party was that he felt like killing some one.

(Continued On Fas Two.J ()J;T AJJTR ST01U1 Majority of Delegates Have Returned Home or Taken to Mountains. HOPE DIES WITH ENTHUSIASM With Convention Excitement Over, Democrats Realize Cause Hopeless. SOME SORENESS TOWARD BRYAN Do Not Like the Method by Which He Dictated Running Mate. 4 SOME FRIENDS INFORMED LATE Colorado and Other Mountain Demo crats Admit They Cannot Carry finale One of the Mnun talu States. (From a Staff Corrcspcndont.) DKNVF.lt. Colo., July 11. (Special Tele gram. .I cnver is tract ca ly deserted by del gales and convention visitors today. Those who have not returned to their homes have hiked to the mountains for a few dns' rest. The enthusiasm Incident to the convention proceedings lias died tut and thos hi re are beginning to lojk at the situation without prejudice and bgin to reallxe the In pel' s?iv. ss from the demo cratic tundpi Int. They aio som-what piqued nt Mr. liran for his conduct l.i tho matter of the selection of a running mate. It develops today that the selec Ion was made by Bryan at 9 o'clock Friday morn n?, after ho had been notified directly that JudHe Gray would not accept thu nomination and had also been Inform-1 by Tammany that that organisation hod n. choice. Then Mayor Dahlman, Tom T.ig pavt and Roger Pulllvan named Kern and Uryan stamiel the selection with his "O. K." Then Tngaart, Sullivan and Dahl man got busy und organised a campaign. Insisting all the time that Bryan had left the choice open to tho convention. To have sent out the word that Bryan had decliied upon Kern v.onlt have b en t odvertlse that Uryan was dic tating to ths convention. It would also have created many political sore spots among those t'elesat'S with favorite sons of their own. And so it happened, not by chance, but by di-tdgn, that the army of delegates werj not aware whi n the convention was called to oilier that Kein was their man. James Gives First Tip. In fact the first intimation given them that Ke:n was to be the-r choice was when C Hie James, the Kentucky statesman an! s ellblmU-r, took the platform and seconded the non inath.n of the man from the banks of the Wabash. And even then only a fe cf the wiser ones cuught the drift of tho thin,'. This, too, in the face of the fact that It was after 2 o'clock In the afternoon when Mr. Jamea spoke, and the choice of Kern hid reen mad at 0:30 In the morn'n-. The leaders, of course, knew of the Kern decision mailn by Mr. Bryan. It was abso lutely necessary that they he taken Into the confidence of the big three. But that they guarded their secret well was evidenced by the fact that thry permitted their own ! spellbinders to place favorite sons In nom- Inatlon In good faith. As an example of this, witness the plac ing in nomination of Clark Howell of At lanta by J. T. Hill of Georgia. Mr. Hill thought Mr. Howell would have a chance. So did quite a number of other delegates. Furthermore, It was not until an hour or more later that they awoke to the true sit. nation and withdrew his name. One dele gate reached the platform anil started In on his nominating speech before he knew where he stood. He started off extollins the merits of his state's choice and was Just about to present his candidate's name when Acting Chairman Ollle James touched him on the arm. When the speaker turned hack to the audience his face wore sn ex presslon of confusion that was reall laugh 1 able. It required a full half minute for him to recover his poise. Then he smiled and In an abashed sort of way announced that while he had Intended naming a democratic peer from his own state he had been In formed that his friend had decided not to have his name presented and so he, the speaker, would second the nomination of John W. Kern. Change In Colorado. I lived In Colorado In ISM. when the Bock mountain region was Bryan mad. The change In the political condition has been little short of marvelous. I have talked today with nearly a score of buulness men. most of them democrats, and they have no hesitancy in declaring that the re publicans will curry Colorado this year by 2U.0OO. The socialist vote here has grown in the last few years, but It Is evident that It will go to Debs rather than to Bryan, while all of the old llver republicans, who controlled the balance of power In the state during the days of the silver craze, have returned to the republican party. There is nothing In existing political conditions to give Bryan any hope of carrying Colorado, Montana. Idaho or any of the Rock moun tain states. W. H. XL ATTITUDE OF JUDGE PARKER Will Support Democratic Ticket la Spite of Flatform. DENVER. Colo.. July ll.TJudge Alton B. Parker of New York and other delegates-ut-large and members of the New York delegation, left Denver tonight. Judge Parker was the central figure of groupa in the hotel obby, bidding him good bye and congratulating him on the harmony and unanimity with whlrh the platform was , roported to the convention despite the sharp j differences which had developed between 1 the conservative and radical element. jrt(fe Parker showed some dissent from Ulo exuberance of these congratulations. and with much frankness said: "One thing Is sure, I am going to sup port the ticket df Bryan and Kern, and I want my friends to do the same thing. But I elii not want to receive any credit under the slightest misapprehension of the facts. 1 I think in all frankness I should say that I resisted In the platform committee any de-parture from our time-honored demo- 1 cratlc principle of the sovereign supremacy , or tll atM Wid,in their borders, or any committal of our party to the dangerous j policy of the readjustment of a supreme t
