Bryan when he arrives here next week are to be relied upon, there Is going to be an enormous crowd In the metropolis to greet the Nebras ka leader. Advtaes ore being received daily to the eftset that this or that state contemplates sending a delega tion of 100, 200 and even 800 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 Is 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 dolph Hearst, and one or two others were seriously mentioned In connection with the Democratic nomination. To day all have dropped from sight, so far aa the presidency Is concerned, with the possible exception of Mr. Hearst. And even the latter declares that he Is not seeking the nomination. Mr. Bryan apparently Is left In full possession of the Held. In the numerous states where the Democrats have held their 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 statee of the middle West or far Weit, 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 retarded as the cer tain eucceasor of Theodore Rooaevelt to the presidency." Thus the Democrats of the Keystone State rivaled the eulo- gletib Indorsement of their colleagues In Iowa, who Inserted a plank In their party platform Indorsing "the exalted character, peerless statesmanship, the pointed out by these critics Is the fact that two years must elapse before the election and that this Is altogether too long a period for a candidate to stand In the fierce limelight that will beat around Mr. Bryan. HIb every word and action will be caught upon by the opposition tfbd the first false step may be fatal to his aspirations. Are Not Worrying. But these dire forebodings are not worrying the Bryanitea Just now. Even those who bitterly opposed the Ne broskart In 1888 and 1800 are now fall Ing over one another to offer him their support. In slates where the Demo, crats are hopelessly split Into rival factions, as Is the case In Massachu setts at the present time, It Is Inter estlng to note that each faction Is claiming the right to send represents tlves 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 la preparing to act as host and will keep open house the entire week for the visitors. The Democratic head quarters at the Holtman house also will serve as a popular rendesvous for those prominent In the Democratic ranks. JURIST COLLEGE, Peachtree and Ivy.

Pleasing to Supporters. As the situation now stands. It can not but be satisfactory and pleasing to Mr. Bryan and hit supporters. But many shrewd politicians who have spent years In the harness are of the opinion that -the Bryanlfes 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 reaction la bound to set In long before the next presidential election.
