DENVER, Colo., July 8.—The eample
of harmony that developed over the
Grover Cleveland reaolutlon offered
come relief to the warring faction* of
the oonventlon.
When euoh prononnoed advocates
and followers of the dead statesman a*
David H. Franeta, of Missouri, and
Judge Alton B, Parker, condldato of
the Democratic party four years ago
for president, can agree with William
J. Bryan, there la cause for rejoicing
In the Democratic camp. And from the
Missouri standpoint, the beat of all Is
that It waa brought about by a Mis
sourian.
What promised to be one of the moot
bitter and nasty fights before the con
vention turned out to be a unanimous
tribute to the Democrat who three
times was the nominee of his party for
the presidency, two of which were re
warded with successful elections. It
wea not more than twenty minutes be
fore the reeolutlon was presented to
the oonventlon that an understanding
between the Bryan wing and the gold
Democrats was reached.
Then It waa on the understanding
that Judge Parker would be afforded
the opportunity of reading the resolu
tions which had been prepared by him
self as a tribute to Cleveland. It re
quired a constant nursing on the part
of Francis, of Missouri, before he could
Induce Judge Parker to content to the
program which was altered to uvold
a fight on the floor of the convention.
What argument! Francis brought tc
bear on the former candidate are un
known.
The final difference over the wording
of the resolution! came with a visit of
Francis to Ftirvtew Sunday, when he
waa closeted with Bryan for two hour*.
It ha* been a mystery as to what
should Induce the two leaders to hold
such a long conference. But It now
develops that Bryan objected to the
wording of the Parker resolutions.
Ths administration of Cleveland
made the subject of eulogy. Instead of
that he told Francis he hoped for res
olutions Indorsing Cleveland a* a man,
his personal Integrity and rugged char
acter. The attitude of the old Cleve
land wing, of which Francis waa one
of the principals, did not take well to
the Idea, but seeing the possibility of
an agreement In which both sides would
virtually maintain their position with
out a light, personal preferences were
set aside for what they considered the
welfare of the Democratic party.
Instead of opposing the stand of
Bryan, os he was at first credited with
doing, Francis fell In with the Idea and
became the real spokesman for Bryan
In effecting the compromise. Francis
slept not a minute all that night be
cause of hi* successive trips to the
quarters of both Parker and Sheehan.
He pleaded and begged that they would
consider the differences from all aides.
They were told that Bryan wanted to
make compromises on the question and
hat there would be no effort to prevent

Former Senator Patter
son Gives Views
on Convention.
By HON. THOMAS F. PATTER80N,
(Former United 8tatee Senator From
Colorado.)
Written Espeolally for the Hearet Newt
Servioe,
DENVER, Colo., July 8.—That the
national Democratic convention Is for
Bryan and what It believes be stands
for was put beyond a doubt within
thirty mlnutee after the gavel of Chair,
man Thggart rapped It to order.
The proof was not given In rounds of
applause—for there was not very much
applause—but In the tenseness of the
•train with which the delegates fol
lowed the speech of Temporary Chair
man Bell, seeking for opportunities to
relieve the teneton with applause, and
In doing so thought the opportunities
he gave them were few and far be
tween.
Chairman Bell's speech was neither
great nor 'Commonplace. It waa not
calculated to arouse enthusiasm. It
was followed critically, the verdict be
ing that It will make a good campaign
document. The three most notable
characters of the body are Its "bad"
men, Colonel Guffey, Messrs. Sullivan
and McGraw.
Bryan brought them Into prominence
by endeavoring to have them excluded
from further official connection with
the parly. Yet the Pennsylvania, Illi
nois and West Virginia delegations
omptly renominated them for mi
rshlp on the national committee.
Isn't It a curious paradox that the
delexatione from these three states will
vote with practically unanimity for the
nomination of Mr. Bryan—who. If elect,
cd, can. If he will, make himself the
political dictator of every state func
tion—while they Ignore his plainly ex
pressed wish that they be excluded
from the national committee?
The reason Is plain enough, however.
They are the boesea In politics. They
oontrol the politics at home and All
the email offices tb which most of the
delegatee asplrg. The presidency la
tilled io far away and te associated
with home politics eo remotely that
It Is a good deal of a mere abstrac
tion or sentiment with the small poli
tician while the hoes and the offices
and flnaneca he controls are a part of
their practical every-day life.
To vote for Bryan's nomination for
president while hie wishes about the
bosses are Ignored la not, therefore, an
anomaly—but only natural. The dele
gatee In voting tor Bryan respond to
an Irresistible demand from those at
home, while their support of tha bosses

selfish natures.
The three bone* of contention last
night were the tariff, the labor plank
and the vice presidency. The commit,
tees are struggling over the first two—
It Is Idle to predict the outcome In ad
ranee. As to the latter, the sentiment
Is growing that the South has been
patient and long-suffering In Its re
nunciation of all part In the presidency
and vice presidency since the close of
the war, and that It will be a patriotic
thing to send the vice presidency to
one of the border states. The trend
today Is toward Otlle James, of Ken
tucky, for the second office.
James Is a blg-bodled man, big-
hearted and level-headed Kentuckian.
He was too young to have fought In
the rebellion, yet, after being an Amer
ican. he la a Southerner In all his fiber
and would. It Is believed, add strength
to Bryan. Then If Gray, who is from
Delaware, would be an acceptable nom.
Inee for the vice presidency, why not
Ollle James, who Is also from what was
a border state? While I do not enter
the ranks of the prophets, the public
need not be surprised should the ticket
be Bryan and James.
