GAINESVIIX*, GSOSOIA Special to The Georgian. 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. M AR1ST COLLEGE, Peachtree and Ivy.
