New York. Aug. if.—It reports re
ceived by the local committee In charge
of the arrangements for the receptlon-
of William J. Bryan when he arrives
here next week are to be relied upon,
there Is going to bo an enormous crowd
In the metropolis to greet the Nebrae-
ka leader. Advices are being received
dally to the effect that this or that
state contemplates sending a delega
tion of 100, 200 and even 600 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 wilt
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 It the Man.
Mr. Bryan arrives home to And 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 os 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
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 Insvldence. The Democratic state
convention In Pennsylvania halted 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
pointed out by these critics Is the fact
that two year* 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. His every
word and action will be caught upon
by the opposition and the flrst false
step may be fatal to his aspirations.
Are Not Worrylnfl.
But these dire forebodings are not
worrying the Bryanltes 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
factions, ns Is the case In Massachu
setts at the present time. It Is Inter
esting to 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 as host and
will keep open house the entire week
for the visitors. The Democratic head
quarters at the Hoffman house also
will serv, aa a popular rendetvoua for
those prominent in the Democratic
ranks.
