Bryan Nomination Notification and Gorman Jones Talks
Senator White of California nominates Governor Stone of Missouri to notify W J Bryan of his United States presidential nomination at Madison Square Garden next Tuesday. Stone accepts, aims to keep speech brief and noncampaigning, with Bryan's acceptance speech to be used for campaigning. Gorman Jones discussions focus on Democratic campaign work and potential executive committee roles, with Gorman denying chairmanship and signaling aid. Fusion talks in Kansas over joint Democratic Populist conventions pursue Bryan Sewall ticket, while Bryan declines interview on Populist nomination rumors and shifts eastward itinerary. Union labor unrest in Cleveland intensifies with a large sympathetic strike and police militia deployments.
