This time 1t was fans and hats and hand

an" repeated until the great crowd wear
led. The candidate bowed several times,
embracing the several points of the COM

Among the prominent Democrats ar
rayed back of the platform were: Sen

Tillman, of South Carolina; Congress
men Richardson and Mcmillan, of Ten
nessee; Livingston, of Georgia; Rusk, OF
Maryland; Governor Hogg, of Texas.
and many others who had borne parts in
the convention that nominated Bryan.

Jones stepped to the front of the box and
lifted his hand for order. The response
came in the form of calls for Bryan. At

ure of extinction for individual and cor
porate emolument. Opposition to the
Mckinley law was the dominant issue
of that campaign and the measure was
condemned by an overwhelming major
ity of the American people. But, Mr..
Cha rman, | desire to say that although
the tariff was made the issue of 1892
there were thousands Of Democrats who
then believed that reform in our none
tary system was of far greater import
ance than a reform In our revenue poll
eies. | was among those who so believed.
Those holding to that belief
id not in any degree I'm.
derstand the Importance of the
tariff issue-on the contrary, it's impor-
lance was fully appreciated-but tn y
believed, nevertheless, that the control
OF our fiscal affairs by mercenary com-
bination of Wall street bankers, dom nat
ed by foreign influences, was more peril
Gus to national safety and more pernic
ieus in i,s effect on national prosperity
than all the tariffs the misery hand of
gluttonous greed could write. How
ever, we acquiesced in the decision tf
our party convention, accepted the issue
as made and as one man rallied with
loyalty and alacrity to the standard of
revenue reform. We rejoiced in Mr..
Cleveland's election and confidently eX-
pected, as We had right to, that he
would bring the tariff question to a
speedy settlement and strip monopoly of
its opportunity to plumber the people.
But in this just expectation we were
doomed to disappointment. Instead Of
devoting himself to prompt ard wise
solution Of the important issue upon
which he was elected, he incontinently
thrust 1t aside and began, almost at the
Threshold Of his administration, to ex-
ercise the great powers of his office to
commit the country to financial sys-
TEN inaugurated by the Republican party
and which the Democratic parry had
time and again condemned in both
state and national conventions. In the
beginning of this attempt the masses OF
the people, disappointed and distressed,
looked on in amazement. With absorbing
interest and with constantly increasing
resentment they watched the .apid de-
velopments of events.
As these events passed before them,
one by one in quick succession and when
they came to understand their full mean-
ing and effect, resentment turned to
wrath and protests rose into revolt. Then
began within the Democratic party one
of the most remarkable struggles that
have ever occurred in the political his
tory of this country. 1t was a struggle
for mastery between the national adj
ministration and the great masses OF

GOV. W. ]. STONE.

His Speech Notifying Hon W. j. Bryan OF His
80 Nomination.
Hon. w. j. Stone, governor of Mis-
souri,, In introducing Mr.. Bryan, spoke
as follows:
Mr.. Chairman-We are here this even
ing to give formal notice of their selec-
ton to the gentlemen nominated by the
National Democratic convention as call
didates for President and Vice-President
of the United States. Hitherto, by i'm
memorial custom, the pleas. ng duty OF
delivering notifications of this charac-
ter has developed upon the permanent
chairman of the National convention,
acting by virtue of his Office as chair
man of the notification committee. Ex-
cept for unfortunate circumstances, un-
expected and unavoidable, the usual Gus
tom would not be departed from in the
present instance. l regret to say, how
ever, that unforeseen events of a per-
sonal nature have arisen which make
it practically impossible for the chair
man of the convention, the Hon. Stephen
NJ. White, of California, to be in New
York at this time. A few days since
he telegraphed me to that effect, and did
me the honor to request me to represent
him on this occasion. While greatly ap-
preciate the compliment conferred by
this designation, cannot but deplore the
enforced absence of the distinguished
Senator from California, and l am di-
rected by him to express his deep regret
The Van Buren press., 1896-08-15

at his inability to be present and par
ticipate in the interesting ceremonies or
this hour.
Mr.. Chairman, the convention which
assembled at Chicago ON the seventh day
of July last, was convened IN the usual
way, under call issued in due form by
the National Democratic committee.
There was nothing out of the ordinary
in the manner of its assembling, and
nothing in the action of the committee
under whose authority it was conyoked
to distinguish it from its predecessors.
1t was in all respects a regular conven-
ton of the Democratic party. Every
state and territory in the Union, from
Maine TO Alaska, was represented by
the full quota of delegates, and / may
add with perfect truth that more intel
ligent and thoroughly repres sentative
body of Democrats was never assem-
bled upon the American continent. The
convention was called for two purposes.
First, to formulate 9 platform declara-
tory of principles, and, secondly, to NOM
mate candidates for President and Vice
President of the United States. Both
these purposes We're fully accomplished
accord ng to the usageS that have been
recognized and the methods of proceed
ure which have obtained in Democratic
conventions for fifty years. The acts of
the convention, therefore, were the acts
of the Democratic party, Its work was
done under the sovereign authority of
the National organization; and that work
was the direct outgrowth of the calm,
well-matured judgment of the people
themselves, deliberately expressed
through their representatives chosen
from among the wisest most trusted and
patriotic of their fellow citizens in all
the states.
Although all l have said is literally
true, yet the fact remains, Of when
everyone is conscious, that these were ex-
traneous circumstances leading to the
convention which attracted unusual at
tenton TO its deliberations and invested
them with unusual Importance. To such
an extent was this true that l may say
without exaggeration mat no other po-
Htical convention has been assembled
since the Civil War upon which public
attention was riveted with such intens-
". In the outcome of whose deliberations
not only the American people, but the
nations Of the earth felt such deep con-
Germ. We are all familiar with the cir
cumstances TO which refer. The ex-
listing National administration was Gre
ated by the Democratic party. 1t Is the
result Of the great victory won in 1892
The campaign of that year was fought
almost wholly on the tariff issue. 1t was
a war waged against the excessive mo-
nopollstie. trust-breeding schedules of the
Mckinley law. The Democratic party

plain people who constitute the party
which created that administration. The
prize they fought for was the national
convention. The convention was to de-
termine whether the Democratic party
should abide by the traditions OF the
fathers and adhere to it's ancient faith,
or whether it should obsequiousiy aban-
don the principles of true Democracy and
become plant agent to advance the
mercenary ends Of an insolent pluto
crazy. The people won. They won
glorious victory. The full significance OF
their triumph cannot be estimated at a
glance. Suppose they had lost, what
then? Suppose the Chicago convention
had followed the servile example oe the
Republican convention, what then? If
that had happened, what hue would the
skies now reveal to the uplifted eyes of
anxious millions? Would the star of
hope then have risen luminous to the
meridian, or have fallen with waning
light upon clouded horizon? Upon
what staff would the toiling millions
in field and shop then have rested their
tired hands? What bulwark of defence
would have then stood between the
great industrial and producing CLASSES
who constitute the solid strength and
safety of the state, against the combined
aggressions of foreign money changers
and anglicized American millionaires?
Upon what rock would the defenders II
the constitution, the champions of Amer
lean Ideas and the friends of American
institutions have then anchored their
hopes for the future? The paramount
question before the country was and is:
Shall this great republic confess finan-
cial servitude to England or act indie
pandently for itself? Shah tbs govern
meut follow or shall it ledi? Shall it
be 4 vassal or a sovereign?
The Republican convention declared
for foreign supremacy-for American
sulserviency. 1t upheld the British
policy of a single gold standard, fraud
ulently fastened upon this country, and
declared that we are utterly Incapable
Of maintaining an independent policy of
cur own. Confess'ng thar the gold
standard is fraught with evil TO our
people and that bi-metallism is best for
dis nation and for the word, II yet de-
AIRED that we are helpless-that we
must stand idle while our Industries are
Frustrated and our people ruined, until
England shall consent for us To lift our
hands in our own defense. To this low
state has mammon brought the great
party of the immortal Lincolnl For
years plutocracy has been winding its
Shiny and poisonous coils around the
Republican party and 1t will strange
it to death as the sea-ser2ents of old
strangled the Trojan priest of Neptune
and his sons. SO also 1t laid it's foul
corroding hand on the Democratic party

and used all its giant strength to bend
il to its purposes. Within both parties
there was a mighty struggle for suprem-
acy between those who believe In tie
sovereignty OF the people and those who

however, that at this time, in the pres
ence of those here assembled l speak
at some length in regard to the cam
paign upon which we are now entering.
We do not under estimate the forces ar
rayed against us, nor are we unmindful
OF the Importance of the struggle in
which we are engaged, but relying for
success upon the righteousness of our
cause, We shall defend with all possible
yigor the positions taken by our party.
We are not surprised that some of our
opponents, in the absence of better ar
guments, resort to abusive epithets. but
they may rest assured that no language
however violent, no invective however
vehement, will lead us to depart sin
gle hairs breadth from the course mark
ed out by the national convention.
The Platform
1t has been charged by men standing
high in business and political circles
that our platform is a menace to private
security and public safety; and it has
been asserted that those whom l have
the honor for the time being to repre-
sent not only mediate an attack upon
the rights of property but are the foes
of social order and national honor. Those
who stand upon the Chicago platform
are prepared to make known and to de-
fend every motion which influences
IA
them, and every hope which inspires
them. They understand the genius of
our institutions, they are staunch sup
porters of the form of government I'M
der which We live, and build their faith
upon foundations laid by the fathers.
Andrew Jackson has stated with ad-
mirable cl arness and with an emphasis
which cannot be surpassed both the
duty and the sphere of government. He
,aid distinctions in society will al

We yield to none in our devotion to the

to the vicious the fruits of a virtuous
life; we would not invade the home Of
the provident in order to supply the
wants of the spendthrift: we do not pro-
pose to transfer the rewards of industry
TO the lap of Incidence. Property is and
