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.

"Orranlzed labor has never asked for

rejoicing, it is general In
citlons and affords protection for the
personal risrnts and llbertle;
Its appll
of every
citizen of the country
"It declares In words so plain that ho
who runs may read, for laws which
will restore before the law the equal

"The plank brlnps the Injunction

"Labor and tho wnrklngrman had no

went to the Republicans with a propo

Lincoln. 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.
Me extended his hand and seized that
of Murphy. And so the picture was
taken.
"They, want us to prove that we're
ri lends." observed Bryan, with a lawrh.
"AVe ought' to have some of those doves
nere," ne added.
"Harmony," said Murphy, a visible
sneer In his tones, turning to another
of the party.
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. Bell, temporary chairman
nt Denver, came In on the train and
went out to Fnirvievr for a short con
ference with Bryan, leaving soon af
terward for California.
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.
He was said to have made this state
ment In Indianapolis last April when
the Kern vice-presidential boom was
originally launched, and when Kern de
clared he was not a wealthy enough
man to consider a nomination.
