BRYAN THE NOMINEE
William J. Bryan, of Nebraska,
Will Lead the Democrats to
Defeat Under the Banner
of Free Silver.
A POPULIST PLATFORM.

The democratic national convention has
been in session for the last four days and the
result is the adoption of the widest and
most unpatriotic platform ever put before
the people by leading party. 1t alone
dooms the party to defeat this year, and to
continued defeat when led by wild. unreas-
enable and even vulgar and indecent lead
ers, like the rebel Tillman, of South Caro-
lima. The unreasonable and one-idea mob
in Chicago reaffirmed the free trade policy
that has brought the country almost to the
level of the pauper nations of Europe, de-
nounced national interference in local af-
fairs without restriction or condition how
ever grave; advised the admission of New
Mexico and Arizona without regard to the
requirements that have been made for 9TH
er states; denounced Cleveland's policy Of
civil service reform, etc.
The convention went wild over the speech
of David B. Hill, who is by far the most
popular man in the convention, yet the
crowd is under such mob like control that
he was turned down for temporary chair
man, position In which he could not pos
sibly have done harm. The nominating
speeches were commenced after supper
Thursday evening. Senator Vest, of
Missouri presented the name of "Sllyer
Dick" Bland. Col. l.. 7. Lewis presented
the name Of the boy orator of the
Platte, VIM. j. Bryan, OF Nebraska;
Senator Turpie presented Governor
Claude Matthews of Indiana; Frederick
White presented Horace Boies of Iowa;
John 3. Rhea named Joe Blackburn; A..
w. Patrick named John r. Mclean, and the
convention, as we go to press, Is getting
ready to vote. 1t makes little difference
who is nominated, Protection and Prosperity
will win and the Attgeld-Tillman red flag
of free silver which was taken up by the
democratic party because it had no other
way to make any show at all, will be laid
away by the millions of honest and free
thinking voters of the u. s.

Mckinley on Protection.

If the policy Of protection is not to be
just in its application and national in
its scope, based upon broad principle,
then the sooner it is relinquished the
better. 1t cannot be sustained and ought
not to be for one class or interest or
section and denied to others equally
within the contemplation of its purpose.
The raw materials class have rights
which cannot be ignored. Those who
think otherwise forget that the advanced
product is only the manipulation Of the
less advanced. and the less advanced of
the still less finished product, with hu-
man labor as the chief factor in all, and
protection upon the one cannot be 500
cessfully and permanently maintained
without protection Of the other. Hon

While the correctness of the above has

extent through having to pay her
obligations abroad in gold, bat the
loss OF exchange under this head
would be a mere drop in the buck

reaped from the markets OF South
