The herald., 1896-07-25

Atstress is er-production-that we
have produced so much that 1t has mace
us poor-which implies that the true
remedy is to close the factory, abandon
the farm and throw multitude OF peo-
ple out of employment, doctrine that
ieaves us rnneryed and disheartened and
absolutely without hope for the future.
We affirm it to be unquestioned that
there can be no such economic paradox
as over production and at the same time
the tens of thousands of our fellow CIT
izens remaining half-clothed and han-
fed and who are piteously clamoring for
the common necessaries of life.
Reference to the Chicago nominations
Is made as follows:
CANDIDATES RECOMMENDED
In as much as the patriotic majority
of the Chicago convention embodied Ill
the financial plank of its platform the
principles enunciated in the platform ol
the American Bimetalic party, proihul'
gated at Washington, d. c., January ~
1895. and herein reiterated. which IS not
only the paramount but the real issue IN
the nendine campaign, therefore recog-
nizing that their nominees embody THESE
patriotic principles, we recommend ina.
this convention nominate w. D. Bryan OIL
Nebraska for president and Arthur Sc
wall of Maine for vice president.
PLATFORM ADOPTED.
motion to adopt the platform was
made. Mr. Hess of Illinois objected ana
q wordy wrangle followed. 1t ended IN
the adoption of the platform. 1t was de-
cided by the chairman that the recon-
mendatien regarding the nomination
was not a part of the platform ana
should be acted upon separately
Mr.. Page of Nebraska moved that the
convention proceed to the nomination of
a presidential candidate. 1t prevailed.
General Warner said it would be nee
essary to nominate a candidate rather
than to indorse in order to avoid some
of the peculiarities of the state ballot
laws.
BRYAN NOMINATED.
D. r. Little of Kansas nominated
William ]. Bryan of Nebraska. He said
that through a long term of years this
country had experienced depression in
business that had never before been seen
on this earth. He spoke of the denial of
trial by jury to American citizens and of
the platform adopted by the Republican
national convention.
Its proposition, if carried out would
double the debts of the poor 1t endorsed
the Cleveland administration and nomi-
mated Mckinley and continuing, he re-
ferred to the Wall street baroDs
Christ" he said. 'forgave the thief
and pardoned the courtesan but the
money changers he scourged from the
temple
In 1860 the country looked to the west
for president in tims of trouble. 1t
got Lincoln. Today the country was in
trouble and again it looked to the
"rowdy west" and it would get man
who, like Lincoln, would lead them to
prosperity This man was William J.
Bryan of Nebraska. He would be the
next president.
There was loud and vigorous applause
at the conclusion of Mr. Little's speech.
Col. L. c. Pence of Nebraska seconded
the nomination of Bryan
When he came into the hall, he said
he was met by the motto: "To the polls,
ye sons of freedom" and could scarcely
refrain from exclaiming "all hail" and
when he saw the stars of the flag
he felt that the stars of the
heavens wereover the homes of all
the country that needed a Sc ior.
We believed that the nomination was
but formal as every delegate had but the
one purpose-the nomination of William
J. Bryan. He said that in the nomina-
ton of Mckinley all the bankers of Eu-
rope had a hand, while Bryan went to
Chicago with no influence behind him.
He thanked God that this people could
still think for itself and this it was doing
when in behalf of William j. Bryan,
whose nomination he seconded in be-
half of the great west
BY ACCLAMATION
A number of seconds were made and
the rules We're SUSPENDED on motion of
2. V. Wise of Missouri and Mr.. Bryan
was nominated by reclamation. The
widest enthusiasm followed. The band
played Columbia, America and other
stirring tunes while the bowling and
screaming delegates marched around
the hall waving hats, umbrellas and
handkerchiefs. This was continued for
ten minutes. Mr.. Baker of California
then moved that the convention proceed
to the nomination of yice-presdent.
SEWALL NOMINATED.
Mr.. Troup of Connecticut placed the
name of Arthur Sewall of Maine before
the convention. He made no speech MI
Niles of Ohio seconded the nomination.
He had known Mr.. Sewall for years and
his father before him. and there could
be no filter man than he for the place
1t was moved that Mr. Sewall be de-
clared the presidential nominee by
acclamation and the motion prevailed.
The band played America and the dele
gates sang. They then sang the dox-
ology.
When quiet was restored Mr. Baker of
California moved that each delegation
select a member of the committee to
notify the nominees. The motion was
agreed to. The roll call of states was be-
gun but before it was half finished, two
thirds of the delegates had left the hall
and all the visitors had gone out
Colonel Pence of Nebraska offered a
resolution declaring it to be the sense
OF the convention that as the Democratic
party had arranged to notify Bryan and
Sewall in New York the silver party
notify them in BrYan's home at Lincoln
Ihe motion was agreed to and thereupon
the convention adjolened sine die.
