for Help.
SRAND ISLAND, Neb,, July 29. -(Spe
cial Telegram.) Here on the eve of the
battle that is. to be waged tomorrow aft
ernoon 1 nthe democratic convention an
attempt is being made to compromise on
the matter of the selection of a stata
chairman to conduct the democratic stata
campaign In this state. It was staed on
good authority this evening - that the
democratlo candidates . in this state or
their agents were already waiting on the
leaders of both factions in an effort to
bring them to an agreement whereby
some man besides J. S. Byrnes could be
elected to the chairmanship of the state
committee that would still have the con
fldence of the democratlo party of the
state. None of the eladlng candidates Is
yet present except J. H. Morebead, can
didate for governor. ,
It has been stated by those who claim
to know that ex-Governor Shallenberger
will not be at the convention as be Is
busy with lecturing engagements.' The
effort to compromise by keeping J. S
Byrnes out .of the race will meet with
great deal of opposition, as some of
the delegates,' notably some among the
Douglas county delegation. . have , aald
they Would consider the election of any
man other than Mr. Byrnes as a victory
for Charley Brysn and Tom Allen, as
those men would ( naturally herald the
defeat of Byrnes as a victory for them
selves. , . . I .- lM'-.
Chairman Byrnes has his headquarters
at the Koehler hotel and has beeri busy
all day and evening meeting members of
the various delegation as ihey came in.
i Byrnes Is smiling. "I feel very confi
dent," he said. Ha declares he has no
definite tablo of votes and Instructions
of the various delegations as they have
been reported from day to day,, but that
he has no cause to fear the result.
On the other hand it is stated by the
progressives that out of the sixty coun
ties -from iWhJchftbey hava reports, the
progressives hava 400 delegates fchi they
c wiio, soma xiiiriy counties yet
to report, they have excellent chance to
get the majority of the votes to endorse
the action of.-WJ. Bryan at tha Balti
more convention- and'- elect a; man "as
state chairman thoroughly : In harmony
witn the progressive movement- of the
democrats and who has the strength to
carry out the pledges of , the democratic
party this year. ' , . , ;
Charles Bryan, "brother", of -: 5 William fj.
Bryan, together with Tom Allen, are also
stationed at the Koehler hotel. Mr.
Bryan said this .evening that he - could
rot say whether; W.' J. Bryan would be
present at the convention or not V He
said he would know definitely Tuesday
morning. He did not say where the Cora,
moner was at the present time.
In the meantime whether the hero of
Baltimore ' will appear. In person on the
field of conflict ' tomorrow Is a matter
that Is being much discussed on every
corner , and by both factions, some of
those who oppose the Bryan faction have
certain fear of his presence,- while
among the progressives his coming Is
watched for even as Wellington scanned
the horizon for the coming of Blucber
at Waterloo. Mayor J. C. Dahlman of
Omaha, C. E. Fanning and other mem
bers of the Douglas county delegation
arrived yesterday and made their head
quarters at the Palmer hotel.
The remainder of the Douglas county
delegation is expected to arrive, in the
morning. It was principally fragments
of the: various delegations that arrived
today as the convention will - not be
called to order until 2 o'clock Tuesday
afternoon. .-
A great many of the counties are send
ing delegates in uninstructed. Both frac
tions admit these delegations are uncer
tain quantities as the vote of these will
be a matter of Individual feeling of tha
delegates.
Custer county for example comes with
twenty-one delegates uninstructed. ' Lin
coln county comes with ten uninstructed.
Cherry county delegation comes .unin
structed, Antelope comes with eleven un
instructed. Madison and wayns coun
ties have advanced delegates on tha
ground who say their counties - did not
instruct any. they believe the delegates
to be mixed.
A large tent has been pitched on South
Locust street where tha convention Is
to'Jbe held. It Is tha plan now that tha
matter of selecting a ' state -ohalrman
shall be first fought out and that while
the committee on resolutions la at work
drafting the resolutions ' the convention
fhall adjourn to attend the ball game. .
W. H. Thompson' of Grand Island has
been selected by the state committee to
act . as temporary chairman of the con
vention and it is said there will be no
question of his being made permanent
chairman. ' - ,
, Progressives stated . emphatically . this
evening that It was not true that Tom
Allen of Lincoln and Charly Bryan wet e
being especially pushed as candidates
for tha state chairmanship, but affirmed
that all they wanted was to get a man
who would be thoroughly " progressive
and one that could stand out as a man
that had been In symatphy with all the
fight the democrats hid been making
against the interests, culminating in the
great fight made by W. J. Bryan at the
Baltimore convention. It Is ; the fear
of the progressives that unless the demo
crats succeed In putting up a man that
Is knlwn to be progressive, and If Mr.
Byrnes is kept In the place of, chairman

, "The Niobrara reservation Is. the only

mals at an early date. The reservation
In question is well adapted to. that pur
pose, and the present appropriation, If

without specific authority to erect tha
necessary fencing. No additional appro

During the debate on the amendment
some member facetiously Inquired if

"any ordinary fenca would be sufficient
to keep a bull moose enclosed.",
' "When he is properly domesticated,
yes," answered the Nebraska member.
"If the gentleman knows of any fenca
which .will ' keep a bull - moose within
bounds, I am sure he can sell the fence
at a very high price," concluded Mr.
Mann. . , 1
The amendment was defeated by a
point of order. Judge Klnkald will fol
low It to the senate and try to have It
authorized there.
