clubs with bands and shouters have gone Mr Bryan is carefully refraining from all active part in the choice of his associate on the ticket An effort was made last night to induce him to attend a meetieg of the leaders who sought to secure an agreement on a nomination but he declined His quarters at the Clifton House rival the convention hall as the center of attraction for great throngs They besiege the entrances and corridors and keep up a coot in nous demonstration The nominee himself frequently has his doors open not only to leaders but to the crowd in general and talks without any of the restraint political candidates usually im1 pose His presence here may lead to immediate action by the committee on notification so that the formality of the proceeding in a body to his home and there exchanging notilication of nomination and the candidate's acceptance may be avoided His speech to the "plain people" from the balcony of the hotel last night is taken to indicate the general lines of his campaign Tile talk of an independent ticket Is still in embryo form and lacks the powerful influence New York Massachusette Pennsylavnia and other otrongholde can give to it The only definite step in that direction was taken at a meeting of the Illinois men including Comptroller Eck-eta ex -Coneressnum Ben Cable Franklin MacVeagh and John Hopkins at which resolutions were prepared favoring the nomination of indepotalen candidates on a gold platform M'LEAN WAS NEVER A CANDIDATE John McLean said this morning: "I never was a candidate for two things in my life and I am not a candidate for the Vice-Presidency When I withdrew my name yesterday I dropped out of the fight I was offered second place with every one of the candidates except Bryan and I refused absolutely If my mune is placed at all it will to accomplish some other Purpose than my nomination" After a onference between the gold Democrats of Illinois and a committee sent from Texas to represent the anti-silver sell timent in that State the followieg signed card was issued: "The undersigned elected by the Democratic convention of Texas to attend the convention at Chicago to there co-operate with any Democrats there met together for preservation of the integrity of the Democratic darty and perpetuation of its In inciples hereby heartily indonie the action of the Illinois Democracy in call hug for
