cheers which greeted Mrs. Bryan when
she came in with Mr.. st. John and took
q seat near the platform. "She's all
rightw shouted one enthusiast, at which
the people laughed and cheered again
Presently lusty shout near the main
entrance, which was taken up and rolled
TO the far ends of the big hall, announced
the arrival of the hero of the hour.
After Mr.. Bryan had worked to the
front of the platform and smiled and
bowed to the audience, which cheered him
for fully minute, Mr.. Jones, chairman
of the national committee, introduced
Elliott Danforth of New York as chair
man of the meeting. Mr.. Danforth mere
ly welcomed the strangers who were
within the gates of New York, and pre-
sented Gov. Stone of Missouri, the chair
man of the notification committee. He
spoke for twenty-five minutes and ut the
conclusion turned and placed in Mr.. Bry-
ans hands big roll of parchment, on
which had been engrossed the official
notification of the Chicago nomination.
Mr.. Bryan bowed and smiled, while the
audience rose to its feet and cheered. The
band played, and an enthusiast excitedly
waved an American flag over Mr.. Bry-
ans head
Chairman Danforth's introduction OF
Mr.. Bryan was followed by an uproarious
demonstration, which continued persist
emily for several minutes. Bryan himself
waved his hand deprecatingly, but the
enthusiastic ones went on with their
shouting. Chairman Danforth raped
with his gavel, but in reply man in one
of the boxes waved chair out over the
heads of the people below and called for
three cheers for Bryan. Chairman Jones
appealed for order, and another Tam
manyite distinguished himself by calling
for three cheers and tiger. Finally those
tho wanted to hear what Mr.. Bryan had
TO say hissed the ones who wanted to hear
the sound of their own voices, and then
order was restored.
Mr.. Bryan began reading his manu-
script. 1t was painfully evident. how
ever, that the candidate was not himself.
Mr.. Bryan spoke for one hour and fifty
minutes. and the bands of the clock
pointed to 1895 when he finished the
peroration addressed to the citizens OF
New York. The terrific heat had made
the upper galleries almost uncomfortable,
and before Mr.. Bryan had finished ma
iority of their Occupants had denied
through the doors. Candidate Sewall
was very heartily cheered when he step
ned forward after he, with ''Silyer Dick
Bland and other leaders on the stage. had
grasped Mr.. Bryan's hand in congratula-
ton. Mr.. Sewall wore black frock coat
buttoned tightly about his breast. He
was handed the formal notification
Of his nomination by Senator Jones. MIR.
Sewall makes no pretensions to oratorical
ability. and. although his voice might fill
an ordinary hall. it was hardly equal to
Madison Square Garden, with hundreds
tramping about the floor. His words were
few. and at 1851 Chairman Danforth de-
clared the meeting adjourned.

Queer Protection Logic.

Knowing that the American people
are united in hatred Of the great trusts
which rob the consumers through high
prices, the McKinleyite organs, little
and big, agree in charging that the VIII
son tariff was changed in the Senate

Steel Combine, Iron Ore Trust and 9th
er great monopolies which wanted high
er duties than were levied by the tar

NANSEN'S VOYAGE FAILS.

Danish Explorer Is Reported Returning to
Norway.
1t is announced that DR.. Nansen, the
arctic explorer, has arrived at Vardo
Island, Norway, on board the steamer
Windward, which recently went to Franz
Josef Island in order to bring back the
-Farnsworth expedition. Nan
sen was the man who started out to drift
TO the north pole in n whaleship proyis-
ioned for five years cruise. He believ-
ed that the drift of the pack ice would
carry his ship past the goal he sought.
His return, if this report is correct, indi-
Gates that he is simply one more of the
long list of failures in arctic exploration.

Republicans and the Income TIA:

The McKinleyite organs and politi-
clans are doing their best to dodge the
income-taX issue in the present cam
paign. They know that the law pro-
viding for 2 per cent. tax on incomes,
which was enacted by the Democrats in
1894, was one of the most popular meas
ures which ever passed through Con-
gress. They know that the people are
tired of tax system which collects
public revenue from the goods used by
the masses, and that the injustice of
tariff taxes are now everywhere under
stood. And they know very well that
in the public mind the tariff stands for
restrictions on beneficial trade; for
heavier taxes on the poor than on the
rich; the creation of protected monopo-

The "Crown of Gold" This Time

The st. Louis convention, in forming
its alliance with the feudal classes of
Europe, in antagonism to the industrial
classes in the United States, vainly
decorated its leader with a crown of
gold and placed in his hands the sceptre
of the taxing power; but they calcu-
lated at too low value the spirit of the
American people when they undertook
10 rivet the chains of monopoly upon
them and to load them with the burdens
of taxation under the Mckinley PLAN
Senator Morgan, of Alabama.

Citizens of the great republic who were
voters before the war will be aged men.
These veterans in politics will have
surrendered their places to successors
who are contemporaries Of the man
now opposed because he has not num-
bered two score years.
AS type Of this latter day, no man
could be more representative than Mr.
Bryan. Born of parents who stood as
the best examples Of American citizen
ship, he was given the opportunities
that belong to every boy reared In this
great country. He inherited with his
extraordinary intellectual talents pat
riotism that became the keynote Of his
ambitions. Realizing the full meaning
Of the opportunity called life, he has
steadily held the highest Aspirations
and patiently performed the every day
duties that came to him. Accepting his
talents as sacred trust, he has always
made the best use Of them. Winning
many laurels as q statesman before he
had reached the thirties, he never real
lied that he had achieved more. than
most men. He simply appreciated the
responsibilities put upon them and tried
to discharge them for the good Of the
people and not for the requirement Of
personal fame.
With the warmest sympathy In hu-
manity In general, and having expert
enced all the financial struggles that
come to the man who has his way to
make, he is in the closest touch with the
people. Yet the real secret Of his power
does not lie In this fact. Mr.. Bryan
still retains the high ideals Of youth,
the abiding faith in the destiny Of the
nation, the vivid apprehension Of the
possibilities encompasing each individ-
ual. When he speaks, his words are
the outpourings Of earnest thought
and sincere conviction. Being true to
himself, the man who has been ac-
knowledged the finest orator Of the day
lifts up and inspires all who come under
his influence.
Since acts are the outgrOwth Of
thoughts, Mr.. Bryan's biography is an
honorable record. in which no one can
find any unworthy pages. The Ameri-
can people will do credit to themselves
and to their country by electing him
president.-Denver Sun.

Tramps Swarm on Iowa Railways

Tramps are unusually numerous along
the lines of the Burlington, Cedar Rapids

years old and unmarried.

so universal that the Republican par
tvs only hope lies in fastening on the
Wilson law the stigma Of being "a
trust tariff"
The peculiar feature Of this attempt
to gain votes for McKinleyism by de-
nouncing the trust portions Of the pres
ent tariff, is in it's proposed remedy for
the higher duties secured by a cOmbi-
nation Of Democratic protectionists like
German and Brice with the Republi-
cans In the Senate. If 1t be true, as
charged by the high tariff press, that
the duties on trust products in the law
of 1894 were the result Of trust inf1u-
nelp the trusts. And nothing Is more
certain than that such Is the case. No
body ever heard Of trust sending Its
representatives to Washington to work
for lower duties.
How do the Republicans propose to
deal with the tariff taxes which enable
the trusts and combines to plunder the
people? Do they say: ''These duties
were increased by the Senate solely be-
cause the trusts wanted more protec-
lion? We are opposed to trust exac-
tions and will therefore reduce or abol-
ish all taxes which in any way favor
trusts" Not ut all. Their remedy is
more duties; higher taxes on foreign
goods which compete with trust pro-
ducts; more favors for monOpolies.
They are pledged to restore the Nc
Kinley law, which gave the trusts far
more protection than Is afforded by the
present tariff This will Of course mean
that the people will be robbed still
more by the trusts than they are now.
The McKinleyites' way Of figuring ls
something like this: "The Wilson tar
iff imposes some taxes on Imports.
Taxes on imports help trusts. We are
opposed to trusts because they are un-
popular. Therefore we propose to In
crease the taxes on imports and thus
strengthen the trllStS!'

lies and trusts. At the same time 1t Is
evident to even the dull brains of Nc
Kinley shouters that tax levied on
the superfiuous incomes of the owners
of great wealth Is one which a large
majority of the voters want.
OF course it would never do for true
believers in the theory that taxes on
imports are good because they make
things dear, to favor a system which
mada the necessities of life cheap by
relieving them of taxation. Tho Re,
publican party depends for its ve1y ex-
istence on the funds contributed by the
trusts and manufacturing monopolies.
These, in turn, depend for their enor-
nous profits on the favors given them
by protection. Without the tariff the
corrupt alliance of plutocrats and poll
ticians would go to pieces.
There will be registered this year
about 100000 voters. If every man
who will be benefited by the adoption
of an income tax, or some other form Of
direct taxation instead Of the unjust
and oppressive protective tariff, will
vote according to his interests the Dem
ocratic candidates would be elected by
more than 100000 majority.
"The Pauper Candidate"
The Chicago convention has just fair

has set In at a rapid pace. The New
York Herald, whose editor and pro-.
prietor Is q millionaire, and who re-;
sides in Europe, because America Is
not good enough, has generally sup
ported the Democratic ticket. But in.
common with the press Of New York
City, it has bolted the Chicago nomi-
nations, and among Its Chicago dis
patches it printed the following:
Bryan is a pauper Of the West; he
has not dollar; and is proud Of his
poverty"
The styling If candidate Bryan as
a pauper, because he is not worth his
millions, or even his thousands, gives.
to the Democratic party n campaign
card of irresistible force. Mr.. Bryan

There Is no little speculation as to
the social possibilities of the incoming
Administration. There is no question
as to Mrs. McKinley's capacity for the
social duties OF the position. She is a
woman of distinguished personal ap-
pearanCe and charming manners, and
probably few wives of American public
men have been better fitted by culture
and force of character to aid their hus-
bands in the battle of life. The only
doubt is as to her physical ability to
stand the strain of the White House
season." Certain reports have repre-.
sented her as a confirmed invalid for
many years. It is stated, however,
that she bore the excitement and
strain of the late campaign, when the
modest residence at Canton, Ohio, was
the daily scene of visiting delegations,
with admirable success. 1t Is in every
respect desirable that the Presidents
wife should be able to preside over the
White House, and doubtless Mrs. Nc
Kinley will attempt the task. She is
no stranger to the White House. She
was the most intimate friend Of Mrs.
Hayes, and often assisted her at the
social functions of the Hayes admin
stration. Doubtless her intimate know
ledge of Washington social life, and her
intellectual character, will enable her
to so arrange the new menage of the
White House that she will be enabled
to preside at many II not all important
functions.
The family of the President-elect Is
an interesting one. A notable figure
will be the venerable mother from
whom It is evident that the nations
elected chief has inherited his strong
est traits OF face and character. She
Is now nearly ninety years of age, but
cherishes the hope that she may live
to make the journey to Washington to
see her distinguished son inaugurated.
1t Is we'll known that, while the de-
votion OF the President-elect and his
wife to each other is peculiarly strong,
they have no living children. Three
little graves in a small burial plot at
Canton, Ohio, mark the places where
