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 .1. OUJE JAMES, MAYBESLATE 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 Is the Irresistible command of their Wood’s Famous Bedrooml THE “GOOD LUCK” OUTFIT This is the most popular suit ever sold in this store.

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. PREPARED INSTANTLY. Simply sdd boil ing wstcr. cool sod serrs.

Pshaw!" said the stranger and walked away. "Excuse me. I suppose you .have a great deal of trouble pre serving order: I know what that means." 'Do you know who that man waa you were Just ordering to more on?" asked O. J. Robertson, a Justice of the peace at Big Horn, Wyo. 'No," said the copper. "He said h* was an assistant sergeant-at-arms. There must be a million of 'em." "That." said the Justice Impressively, "waa Sheriff Felix Alston, of Big Horn, the wildest, woolliest, most desperate man In the world. I don't know Just how many law-breakers he has killed In his time, but I guess he’s got at least a dozen notches on his guns. ‘There Isn’t a deader shot in the West," the Justice continued. "And there Isn’t a nervier man In the world. He has Just rounded up a gang of 22 hone thieves, the most desperate In the world.
