When asked as to the Parker boom this morning National Committeeman Taggnrt of Indiana said: It is like the sun rising slowly but surely into a magnificent prominence.

July 4. William Jennings Bryan arrived at the Jefferson hotel shortly before noon yesterday. The instant he walked Into the lobby he was surrounded by a crowd that pressed forward to shake his hand. There was no cheering or demonstration of any kind beyond the pressure of the throng, which finally became so dense that he had difficulty In reaching hls room. As soon as he entered the door of hls apartment the visitors were upon him and from that time on he was given no rest. He declined to express an opinion regarding the outcome of the convention. I see," he said, that it has been reported that I am to be a member of the committee on credentials. I would like to be. but I will not be. I am to to be a member of the committee on resolutions, and I could hardly serve on them both. The committee on credentials will have an Important matter to settle at this convention. It must determine whether or not the party is to be run by gavel rule. In my opinion there Is no more Important question bfore the convention than whether or not a few men, one of whom happens to have a gavel in hls hand, shall override the wishes of the voters who have selected certain men to represent them in conventions. The people elect their men, and should have them, but in some cases of late it does not seem as though they were getting them. I am opposed to such proceedings from every standpoint" On the subject of the paltform, Mr. "I Bryan was more have heard talk," he said, of a gold plank In the platform. Of course, It goes without saying that I am opposed to such a thing, and I will not stand for 1L" Does that mean that If a gold plank Is inserted in the platform that you will leave the convention? Mr. Bryan laughed heartily as he replied: I do not think that I will be called to answer that question In the convention, any more than I am compelled to answer It now. Really, I cannot discuss such a question. Later In the day Mr. Bryan gave out the following formal statement: After conferences with a number of delegates from various sections I am satisfied that the opposition to Mr. Parker Is sufficient to make his Improbable. There has been no concentration on any candidate, but two arguments are having weight with the delegates. Among the radicals the feeling Is that the party must not be surrendered Into the hands of Wall street The Influences back of the Parker candidacy are so Intimately associated with the trust and great corporations that the Democratic party could not appeal to the masses. The party cannot afford to entrust Its future to the men who were responsible for the party's defeat In 1996 and noin-lnatio- 1900." ln Young Ogden ami old Ogden com- mciiced the celebration of the hundred and twenty-eight- h birthday of the nation aa early as Saturday night and It still continues with no diminution or volume.

Chief of Pop lice Browning notified hls men to permit no flagrant breach of the ordinances and to Immediately suppress any demonstration that might be likely to lead to accidents.
