Under Republican Regime Law Has Been Abused, Says Labor Leader Per sonal Rights and Libertv Have Been Abrogated. By James French Dorrance. (Hearst Now by Longest Leased Wire.) Denver, Colo., July 11. There Is one man who comes out of this Denver con vention with an unexpected triumph Spmuel Gompers. president of the Am erican Federation of Labor. That he has triumphed must he taken es a fact, for he says no, decidedly. Many who read tho antl-lnjunetlori Flank In the Democratic platform vr '.II not be sure that his Is not a quar ter-triumph. Talk with the little bun ' die of nerves that heads org.inl.-.ed la- Imr in America for nn- hour, and will he certain that his - Is a whole triumph. Make no mistake; he, does -not con sider it a persons 1 triumph, nor even a vfrtory for labor. lie savs It is the logical 'winning' out" of right and Jus tice. The triumph, whether Geimpers' or labors' or justices', was more or. less unexpected. The Republicans at" Chi cago scorned tho labor argument and there were strong factors among the I vmocratlc platform builders which made It look as though the Denver con vention would not write the anti-Injunction plank plainly. - For an hour today Samuel Gompers talked anti-injunction In the Tremont hotel. . Th suggestion that man? wars pusrled over the anti-Injunction plank worked Out by the Democrats was not news to film. Protects Wot Xeafeor AIom.

Neb., July 11. Thirty Tam many delegates to the Denver conven tion rolled into Lincoln this afternoon, headed by, Charles F. Murphy. William J. Bryan met them at the train, hav ing driven in from Falrvlew in company with Mrs. Bryan and Robert F. Rose, his private secretary. Bryan was walking up the platform after greeting Lewis F. Nixon, the first to greet him, when lie espied Murphy. "Hello, Murphy," said Mr. Bryan. "Hello, Bryan, said the other. "I want to thank you for your faith ful work' on the platform. It's a good platform," said Mr. Bryan. A camera fiend w-as on hand and asked permission to take a picture of the two big Democrats. All rlnht. ' said Mr. Bryan.

No, the Tammany tiger did not make much of a fuss .over Bryan's nomina tion. They congratulated him, but there was not much fervor In their tones. "Tammany won't put its heart Into this campaign," said -.one of the dele gates. "We will vote for the issues, but won't fight for them. We're sorry our candidate, Francis Burton Harrison, was not nominated. I don't know whether the ticket will win without New Yo or not." Mr. Bryan used a huge Japanese fan. The day was suffocatingly hot. Earn In White House, Too. Others In the Tammany party were Francis Burton Harrison, Daniel F. Cohalan, R. E. Luce and Orlando iiiayer. Theodore A.

A curious coincidence lay In the pres ence on the train also of Senator Bur rows of Michigan, temporary chairman of the Chicago convention. The tw e men did not meet. Mr. . Bryan reiterated be statement this afternoon that if he and Kern were elected be would Invite 'Kern to share the White House with nlm.
