New. York, Aug. 24.—If reports re
ceived by the local committee In charge
of the arrangements for the reception
of William J. Bryan when he arrives
here next week are to be relied upon,
there Is going to be an enormous crowd
In the metropolis to greet the Nebras
ka leader. Advtaes ore being received
daily to the eftset that this or that
state contemplates sending a delega
tion of 100, 200 and even 800 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 Is 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
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 aa 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 as
opposed to his candidacy
Indorsed Everywhere.
These Indorsements have not been
confined to those statee of the middle
West or far Weit, 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 retarded as the cer
tain eucceasor of Theodore Rooaevelt to
the presidency." Thus the Democrats
of the Keystone State rivaled the eulo-
gletib Indorsement of their colleagues
In Iowa, who Inserted a plank In their
party platform Indorsing "the exalted
character, peerless statesmanship, the
pointed out by these critics Is the fact
that two years 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. HIb every
word and action will be caught upon
by the opposition tfbd the first false
step may be fatal to his aspirations.
Are Not Worrying.
But these dire forebodings are not
worrying the Bryanitea Just now. Even
those who bitterly opposed the Ne
broskart In 1888 and 1800 are now fall
Ing over one another to offer him their
support. In slates where the Demo,
crats are hopelessly split Into rival
factions, as Is the case In Massachu
setts at the present time, It Is Inter
estlng to note that each faction Is
claiming the right to send represents
tlves 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 la preparing to act as host and
will keep open house the entire week
for the visitors. The Democratic head
quarters at the Holtman house also
will serve as a popular rendesvous for
those prominent In the Democratic
ranks.

The congreealonal ‘committeemen

splendid barbecue will be served to

At this time the members of the bar

In the same enthusiastic terms Mr.
Bryan has been Indorsed by the Demo

Pleasing to Supporters.
As the situation now stands. It can
not but be satisfactory and pleasing to
Mr. Bryan and hit supporters. But
many shrewd politicians who have
spent years In the harness are of the
opinion that -the Bryanlfes 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
reaction la bound to set In long before
