Special to Journal.
NW Touk, December 27 Elliott Dan
forth, chairman of the New York State
Democratic Committee has Just returned
from a trip through the south. During
his journey be talked with Chairman
J. K. Jones of the National Democratic
Committee- and with - most southern
Democratic Stale Committeemen. - r
He stated the result of ; bis observa
tions is that the sentiment ts generally
for 'holding the Democratic National
Convention in some western city ether
then Chlcsgo. and that it now looks as
Milwaukee or Kansas City would
secure the honor of the selection, Mil
waukee being the favorite; and that Obis
was also the sentiment at headquarters
la Washington. ' . ," ' , .
Some of the leaders, whom he met in
sisted upon making free silver the main
Issue of the campaign. lie did not say
that he himself had abandoned the six
teen to one free silver issue but acknowl
edged that the situation had Changed. '
Chairman Danforth snms up his obser
vallons as follows, the Democrats want
Brvan for their candidate, with-free
silver not tlie cry hut with a - different
Issue.'' - 5 . i - .t

of Senator Morgan of Alabama is favor
able to holding the Philippine Islands
permanently, but seeks to commit Con
gress i nepuoiicon- iorm qi govern
ment for. the Filipino. Mr. Morgan's
resolution Is tu line with tlie views of
the Administration, and were it desirable
to have any declaration made by Con
gress at this time there Is Utile doubt his
resolution or one similar to it would, be
adopted.. ; When , Senator: Morgan .ad
dresses tho Seuate immediately after the
holiday be will show that he has hearty
svmpa'Jiy with the Administration's ex
pension policy and that the only abject
of the resolution is to assure a Kepuuil

nlngs Bryan's attention was called to
dispatch from Washington stating that
he had ' written Congressman Daly, of
New Jersey, that he would make several
speeches In the East, discussing trusts
and Imperialism, and he was asked as to
whether the report . indicated any inten
tioa ot abandoning the sliver question,
He said; - . , ,
1 ' Congressman Daly has probably been
misquoted. . I expect to msko several
speeches In the East, but I expect to dis
cuss the money question along with
other questions. There are three ques
tions now prominently before the peo
ple, to wi: The ' money question; the
trust question, and the Philippine ques
tion. Whenever -I make a political
Upeech 1 discuss all three questions.
