KANSAS CITY, June 29.—General E. S.

Dispatches received here from different sections indicate that the dele- gates who have been soiinded on the ques- tion have not yvet made up their minds, or they do not care to_express a preference for any candidate. There is an impression that the good politics of thesituation would mean the selection of a man from New York. and if a satisfactory candida cannot be found there the next best thing to do would be to go to Indiana.

Both were carried for McKinley in 1896, but the confidence of the intelligent bimetallists are agreed that it cannot be made the great absorbing que: tion in this campaign because the legisla- tion of the last Congress has placed it beyvond immediate settlement. On the other hand the question of a republic or an empire is one which is to _be settled at once—now and forever. Foup more vears of McKinley and Hanna ,would place that, too, beyond the power/of the Democratic party to settle. The silver question is a great question, but is one which the future can settle, If in the next four years the gold standard proves a good thing we don't want a change, but if, as we believe, it will prove a bad thing ‘it will prove its own undoing ane will demand a chang “‘Mr. Bryan's declaratton that there are three great issues in this campalgn—free silver. imperialism and the trusts—is em- inently correct. but of neces: one_ of the three will take pre-eminance and that will be imperialism.” Charles A. Towne will arrive to-morrow and in conference with General Corser and members of the committee will com- plete the preliminary arrangements for entertain of carrying New York are inter- esting features of the situation here. It is because of this condition that the Dem- ocrats talk of a Vice Presidential candi- date from one of those States, There will something like an alignment of forces for and against certain candidates for Vice President before even guesses can be made with any degree of intelligence. If Mr, Sulzer of New York be not nom- inated for Vice President it will not be on account of any lack of booming on the part of his friends who are here. The anagers, with B. D. OConnell at their ead. are losing no opportunity of mak- ing known the fact that Mr. Sulzer is not only in the race, but that he will win if he can. Badges hearing the wqrds “Bryan and Sulzer and Victor: with portraits of the men, are being distributed to all who will wear them. while ahother method of campaign has been adopted in_spreading broadcast a small bandbill.
