New York, Aug. 24.—If reports re ceived by the local committee In charge of the arrangements for the reception qf William J. Bryan when he arrives here next week are to be relied upon, there la going to be an enormous crowd In the metropolis to greet the Nebras ka leader. Advices are being received dally to the effect that this or that atate contemplates sending a delega tion of 100, 200 and even BOO to New York for the occasion. In addition to* the regular delegations there doubtless will be a host of other visitors. Thousands with no Interest whatever In the Bryan home-coming probably will take advantage of the. low excursion rates to make a trip to New York. However this may be, It Is certain that the crowd of visitors will be something enormous. Many are comparing next week's event to the great welcome given to Admiral Dewey on his return home after the battle of Manila bay. Quite naturally the Re publicans do not share this idea of the Bryan welcome. Bryan la the Man. * Mr. Bryan arrives home to find that he Is practically the only man talked of for the Democratic presidential nomination. Six months ago Mayor George B. McClellan, of this city; Senator Bailey, of Texas; John Sharp Williams, of Mississippi; William Ran- flolph Hearst, and one or two others were seriously mentioned In connection with the Democratic nomination. To day all have dropped from sight, so far as the presidency Is concerned, with the possible exception of Mr. Tlearit. And even the latter declares that he Is not seeking the nomination. Mr. Bryan apparently la left In full possession of the field. In thd numerous states where the Democrats have held [heir state con ventions during the past few months many of them have given Mr. Bryan enthusiastic Indorsement for the pres idency. None has gone on record as opposed to his candidacy Indorsed Everywhere. These Indorsements have not been confined to those states of the middle West or far West, where the Bryan strength heretofore has always been most Inevldence, The Democratic state convention In Pennsylvania hailed Mr. Bryan as the “great Democratic com moner, who Is now regarded as the cer tain successor of Theodore Roosevelt to the presidency." Thus the Democrats of the Keystone State rivaled the eulo gistic Indorsement of their colleagues In Iowa, who Inserted a plank In their party platform indorsing "the exalted character, peerless statesmanship, the high-minded and pure personality of the Democratic leader, William J. Bry an." In the same enthusiastic terms Mr. Bryan haa been Indorsed by the Demo crats of Illinois, Michigan, Indian, Ohio, the Dakotas, Nebraska and other states where the conventions have been held recently. Pleating to Supportsra. As the situation now stands. It can not but be satisfactory and pleasing to M$. Bryan and his supporters. But many shrewd politicians who have spent years In the harness are of the opinion that the Bryanltea must be very careful for the future. The be lief Is expressed that the boom has matured too early, that Its growth has been forced and that the Inevitable veaction la bound to set In long before the next presidential election. Another obstacle to success that Is pointed out by these critics Is the fact that two years mutt elapse before the election nnd that this Is altogether too long a period for a candidate .to stand In the fierce limelight that will beat around Mr. Bryan. His every word and action will be caught upon by the opposition and the first false step may be fatal to his aspirations, Are Not Worrying. But these dire forebodings are not worrying the Bryanltea Just now. Even those who bitterly opposed the Ne braskan In 1896 and 1900 are now fall ing over one another, to offer him their support. In states where the Demo crats are hopelessly split Into rival factlbns, ns Is the case In Massachu setts at the present time. It Is Inter esting tq note that each faction Is claiming the right to send representa tives to the Bryan welcome. With bands playing and banners fly ing the Democratic cohorts are com ing to town from forty-six states and territories. The vanguard will reach the city within the next two or three days. The main body will be on hand by Tuesday of next week. Tammany Hall Is preparing to act aa host and will keep open house the entire week for the visitors.
