BRYAN CALLS ON NEWSPAPERS Calls Upon Them to Collect Funds for Campaign?Will Get Prohibition Vote. Fair view, Lincoln, Nob., July 20.? Influential Eastern Democrats have fold W. .1. Bryan I lint, in their (.pinion, I lie :inl i-injunchon plank of the plal form adopted at Denver was hardly worth the paper if was writ-, ten on, (he reason alleged by them ljo'iirr (hut I lie David B. IJiil bill passed by I ho senate* which is especially endorsed by I he Democratic plank, simply carried out I he common law provision, granting a jurv (rial in contempt. cases "in fhe jurisdiction of presiding judge." The ph.nk w.ms drafted on the assiiniplion (h,*iI fhe Hill bill was pass<" 1 only it Pier if had been amended by Senator Allen of' Nebraska to make Irijil bv mandatory at (lie request of defendant. Air. Bryan spenl several anxious hours after he received this information. hile reasoimblv sure of his ground. the alle^al ion that he and the majority of the-, committee on resolutions had been tricked caused him to worry uud lie admitted that in- would have an inquiry set on foot. The Associated Press -respondent this afternoon relieved this suspense by submitling to him advices from Washington, showing that the IIill bill as finally adopted by the 'United States senate in 1890 provided lor summary punishment by (lie. court, in direct contempt cases but made it mandatory for the court to tfrjtnl a trial by jury in ;,|| cases where such contempt was committed n|' jurisdiction of court. and where such I rial was demanded bv the accused. I ' '* V:,s I h? Allen amendment, as ^'r I' :?11 remembered ii and il cleared iij. what threatened |,? |?... come ;in awkward situation for the 1 |eiin'.. r.iI ie candidal. f?, f|,e presidency. ' Purl ill,-it i lie |iroliibil ion 11uestion will play in the campaign was talked over by .Mr. Bryan and U'ilev Ik Phillips. editor of i!,e (alifornia Voice of I(,,s Angles. who is relurninir troui Coluinbiis. Ohio, where lie i was a delegate lo I he prohibition convention. 1 ^ "We agreed." sard Mr. Phillips, ! "not to discuss for publication what was said at our conference." Mr. ( Phillips, however, volunteered the statement that a numncr of prohibitionists would vote for Mr. Bryan as , agiust (heir own candidate. He thought (he prohibition movement would affect the vole in the close States and was unwilling to concede to Tuft many of I lav?, voles. The appeals of Mr. Bryan to the farmers of (he country for campaign eon'rilni(Ions is benr*ng fruit. Today a number of responses were received the sums enclosed vnrvlng in amount. Two retired farmers of Omaha, one "a'cd 82 and the other 70 wars, prefercred lo deliver their contributions in person. They hobbled up the palhwa\ to Fairview and each placed in the hands of Mr. Bryan a $.*> bill. Appeal to Democratic Papers. An appeal by Mr. Bryan lo the Democratic newspapers of the country lo begin the collection of funds for the campaign was one of the impoii'nt happenings of the day. ' The statement follows: I wish every iVmocralic paper would begin the collect a fund from ils subscribers. There are very few Peinocrals who could not a fiord jo make a small contribution and the people will never be able lo control the government until they take on themselves I he burden of supplving campaign funds. As long as a few men turnish the money to finance a campaign the men will exert an undue in I luence upon Ihw government. ''It seems that we have reached the end of corporate contributions and this is a step in advance but the individuals who control these favorseeking corporations may si ill dominate politics by furnishing the sinews of war. I lie I )emocraI ic party has si ruck a blow al this system by limiting contributions ro'$10,000 and providing for publicity before the election. The Kepuntlcan party has so far refused to join with us on this proposition but public sentiment may yet compel it to do so. I have no doubt ibat the Democratic party will receive contributions from more individuals than ever contributed to any campaign and there is no reason why the entire sum necessary should not he supplied by contributions from the masses. If every Democratic paper will take tho matter up and lend a helping band we will soon have money enough in the treasury to provide for legitimate campaign work and that is all we want." Late this evoning, Oeorgo Fred ."Williams of Boston arrived and was ?1 riv?;n from (ho station to Fairview by Mr. Hryan. The two belt] a lengthy conference on reaching the Bryan home, ^vhere Mr. Williams expected to spend the night. One thing is definitely settled anil that, is that the chairmanship of the national committee will not go to n Southern man because of the attitude of the Southerners toward the negro, Although Mr. Bryan thinks highly of Mr. Ollio James of Kentucky and his name was prominently considered for the place, the positive taken by Air. James some lime ago in favoring the disfranchisement of the negro made his appointment out of the question. FOUGHT OVER ELECTION. Ninety Six Votes for School Bond Issuer-Joe W. Tolbcrt Told to Leave. Croenwood, July 20.?Koports reaching hero late this afternoon tell of what might have resulted in serious (rouble today at Ninety Six, in this county. An election "was held at Ninety Six today on the question of voting twelve thousand dollars in bonds to build a new graded school building. There was considerable feeling manifested, and I lie bonds were voted by a small majority. After I he election was over a few citizzons in favor of the bond issue got into an argument with Joe W. Tolbcrt, who, il seems, had opposed the issue and worked against it. After a little while a vow began. Tolbcrt was knocked down and given several licks. Later a committee waited on him and ordered him to leave town on the first I rain. Tolbcrt is the one who figured in the I'hoenix riot several years ajyo. lie has been living at Ninety Six for the p:isl vear.
