, Denver, Colo., July 4— Herman Rid-

president.
Upon good authority this is said to
be the Bryan preference at the present
time. With thie arrival in Denver
early today of the several prominent
democrats who are close in the con?
fidence of th© Nebraskan came the re-
port, that Mr. Bryan has stated that
Mr. Ridder was strongly available for
the nomination^ Not that he expects
to dictate to the convention the man
who shall be nominated, but to let It
.be known to his supporters the name
of tire man who he believes Would

report which, has come from Lincoln,
the reasoning of the Bryan managers

veng of German descent Jn the Ented

New Braunfels. Texas, July 4.—Th©
firemen celebrated the Fourth most
gloriously at Landa’s park. After a
fin© rain yesterday evening the Fourth
dawned bright and clear and the boys
were out early in the morning accom-
panied by the firemen’s band and sere-
naded Mayor C. A Jahn, returning to
the plaza and there giving a concert.
Cannon and firecrackers were fired all
during the morning. The business
houses were all closed. Games and
races were held In the park in the af-
ternoon. A dance and grand display of
fireworks at night brought to a close
.a most eventful day.
Carl and Henry Wille, sons of Dr.
I. G. Wille, aged 15 and 9 years, were
victims of the usual Fourth of July ac-
cidents. The boys were engaged in
loading a small cannon with powder,
taken from a firecracker, and in some
manner it exploded, tearing away the
tips of two fingers of Carl’s left hand.

Mr. Ridder fills all of these qualifi-
cations. the Bryan men clalm. He did
not support Mr. Bryan for the presi-
dency either in 1194 or 1900. Mr. Rid-
der has already informed Mr. Bryan
personally that while he is strongly
opposed to Mr. Bryan’s nomination this
year, he will, if the latter is nom-
inated. support him and will lend him
also his actve personal aid.
Mr. Ridder arrived In Denver this
morning and announced’ his unaltered
antagonism to Bryan’s candidacy and
stated (hat. he would at one© inaugur-
nt© a campaign-among th© delegates
to this convention to encompass the
defeat of the Nebraskan. Mr. Ridder
gives It as his unqualified opinion that
Mr. Bryan can not carry New York.
He cites as his reasons for this the
memory which still lingers in the
minds of the New York voters of Mr.
Bryan’s free silver views, which they"
disapproved. Also th© statement which*
he favored the national acquisition of
the railroads. While these matters
may not be injected into the campaign,
the recollection of Mr. Bryan’s alleged
radical tendencies would result in his
defeat, argued Mr. Ridder,
Mr.-Ridder state that he expected
to visit all of the different state dele-
gations, particularly those from the
south, and address the delegations
upon the subject of Mr. Bryan’s po-
litical weakness in.Nw York state.
He expected also to work unremitting-
ly among the individual delegates from
now on until the nomination is made.
What the result might be in New
York if a vlo presidential candidate
of Mr. Bryan’s choosing should be se-
cured and a platform adopted which
would appeal to the country, Mr. Rid-
der refused to hazard. He said that
of course it might be possible for Mr.
Bryan to carry New York at the com-
ing election, but he did not believe no:

Even when delegates are Helected and
instructed for me I don’t take part in
the naming of these delegates. I
have abstained scrupulously from tak-

reason. I- believe in the right of each
community to attend to its own busi-
ness. I belleve that the people of the
community knew better what they

can know. . And the only reason why I
expressed an opinion in your own state,
as I have expressed an opinion in that
stat© in regard to the national commit-
teeman who is to help manage the
campaign, is this:
"That Mr. Guffy, your present na-

openly avowed themselves or it was

their desire that I should be nominated
and recorded, themselves in favor of
the delegates who promised to go
there and favor my nomination. It is
not for me to say whether these demo-
crats were wise or foolth, but if I
understand what democracy means,
those men are the ones to determine
what Pennsyivania shall say on that
subject and when a political boss,
whether he calls himself a democrat or
a republican, assumes to defy the ex-
pressed will of his party, he shall never
be in the party organisation except

my opinion has been asked, I have

it was before the recent fiasco and
that there appears to be no excitement

Major Lassiter says that the moral
effect of the presence, of the United
States soldiers has no doubt lessened
tho courage of the revolutionists and
that the department anticipates no
more trouble.
When asked regarding the disposi-
tion of persons arrested by the troops
Najor Lassiter said that all Mexican
subjects would probably be turned
over to Mexico, but that Americans
and naturalized Mexicans would stand
trial In .the courts of the United States.

Major Iassiter from the officers in
charge of th© squad which is now
patrollng th© border line are all op-
tlm'stic and indicate that there was
no real necessity in their being called

Unless there are confessions, which
has never yet been the case, there is
no evidence generally obtainable suf-
ticlent to warrant the extradition of

order short work would be made of
them.
