Kansas City, July 3.—‘‘Bryan will not run on any platform that does not contain a specific declara- tion in favor of free coinage of sil- verataratioof 16to1. It this convention does not put the declara- tion in the platform, it will have to

i t did: for

president.” This statement was made today

.to the Associated Press by Judge

Tibbetts of Lincoln, delegate-at- large from Mr. Bryan's state, and chairman of the state delegation to this convention. It serves to em- phasize the determined stand taken by the Nebraska‘ statesman. His declaration is that he stands for a principle and those who would have him change or modify his views are simply swinging in the wind of ex- pediency. Cato Sells, chairman of the Iowa delegation, who had a three hours’ conference with Mr. Bryan before he came to Kansas City,, not only reaffirms the statement made by, Judge Tibbitts, but amplifies it. “After talking with Mr, Bryan for some time," said Mr. Sells, with respect to his positiou and to the attitude his friends ought to as- sume in this convention, I asked: him this blunt question; ‘. ‘Suppose the convention should refuse to adopt a platform contain-- ing a distinct declaration in favor of free coinage at 16 to 1.’ ‘¢ ¢Fhen,’ said Mr. Bryan. em- phnatically, ‘I will not run as a_can- didate.’ That the canvention will, bow to Mr. Bryan's desires. nobody. who comes in contact with:the delegates,” ~ can doubt for an instant. i It is said that. neither Mr. Croker” nor Mr. Hill degires the nomination: of Towne for vice-president.:.. While * the.New York delegation .has _not presented formally any candidate, it. is known that Hill favors the, némi- nation of Elliott Danforth and that ~ Croker is quie*'y pressing, the claims of Judge Augustus Van; Wyck.
