HE BURIED BOMBS
TO DEFEAT PLANS
Special to The Georgian.
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. The Democratic head
quarters at the Hoffman house also
