WELCOME THE FIRST TRAIN. VISALIA, Cal., July 1.—About 3000 peo- ple were at the Santa Fe depot this morning to witness and welcome the in- ceming first overland train from Chicago. Boxes of choice fruit were given every passenger. The traln was given a grand ovation. People cheered, shouted and waived handkerchiefs and hats in honor of the occasion.

LINCOLN, Nebr., July 1.—David Ben- nett Hill reached Lincoln to-night at 7 o'clock, and was met by Mr. Bryan and aken at once to the home of the latter, | here théy remained in conference until | nearly midnight. Hill came to Lincoln at the request of Bryan, who has up to to- | day very successfully acted the role of | candidate and public dictator. Whether the New Yorker is to be a part of his po- | litical machine to follow instructions | rather_than his own ideas depends en-| tirely upon to-night’s conference, at the | | conclusion of which each refused to be| ference, but body had any really defi- interviewed.

It is known that Hill does not desire a distinct declaration in favor of 16 to 1, and it will be his effort to induce not only Bryan but also the convention to accept a_ modified financial plank, whicg, while not specifically ~declaring for the free colnage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. will be such a zeafirmation of the " Chicago platform on that subject as will prove satisfactory to all elements of the party. Later in the day it was suggested that Hiil might not return to Kansas City be- fore to-morrow. His conference with Bryan, it was said, was to be of such | dividual opinion.” | Previous to the conference both men | advisability | plank, and there is every reason to be- entertained widely different views on the of adopting a new silver ieve they still adhere to their former positions.” This being true, Hill will prob- ably not secure Bryan's cordial support for the Vice Presidency. The feature of the day in Lincoln aside from the visit of Senator Hill was the re- | Eon that a draft of the platform, said to | ave the indorsement of Mr. Bryan and meeti: the approval of his friends in nearly half the States of the Union, has been ‘made. According to the rumor it makes the three leading issues of the cam- importaace that it could not be oup;led paign Imperialism, militarism and trusts, lBRYAN in the order named. The financial plank, according to the present draft. will be sec- ondary. There will be, it is said, a briet plank reafirmi Chicago platform, and in that plank is the reafirmation of 16 to 1, income tax, repeal of the current laws and minor issue: UNSHAKEN IN HIS OPINION >-— Special Dispatch to The C: 1 he World has n said to-day: firming the Chi- NEW YORK, July this from Lincoln: Br: “I am in favor of r cago piatform in general; also the adop- tion of a plank explicitly renewing the pledge for free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at the ratio of 16 to 1. An explicit plank on the money question is of the highest importance. If we are to have a dodger for a platform then let us have a dodger for a candidate; but if we are to nominate a man who believes in being explicit in pledges to the people, then let us adopt a platform that will be consistent with the character and record of the candidate.” —— New York-Indiana Alliance. KANSAS CITY, July 1.—Three of the delegates at large from Indiana—James Murdock, G. V. Menzies and Hugh Dough- erty—called on Richard Croker this after- noon to propose an alliance, offensive and defensive, between the States of Indlana and New York. The proposal is said to have pleased Mr. Croker, and he told the Indiana men that he woulid be glad to take it under advisement.
