BRYAN'S GREAT SPEECH
TEXT OF THE NOMINEES IMPAssloNED
PLEAFoR SILVER.
A Logical, Forcible and Eloquent Presenta-
ton of the Cause of Bimetanism-A
Speech that Made President.

Following is the great speech de-
livered by Hon, VIM. Jennings Bryan
before the Chicago convention July
9 in support of the platform present
ed by the committee on resolutions.
The speech turned an overwhelming
tide in his favor and won for him the
nomination:
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen of
the Convention: | would be presump-
tious, indeed, to present myself
against the distinguished gentlemen
to whom you have listened if this
We're but a measure Of ability, but
this is not contest among persons.
The humblest citizen in all the land
when called to armor in righteous
cause, is stronger than all the whole
hosts of error that they can bring. /
come to speak to you in defense OF
cause as holy as the cause of liberty,
the cause OF humanity. Loud ap-
plause. When this debate is con-
cluded a motion will be made to lay
upon the table the resolution offered
| in commentator of the Administra-
tration and also the resolution in con
demnation of the Administration. l
shall object to bringing this question
to level of persons. The individual
is but an atom; he is born, he acts,
he dies, but principles are eternal,
and this has been contest OF princi-
pie. Never before in the history of
this country has there been witnessed
such a contest as that through which
we have passed. Never before in the
history Of American politics has a
great issue been fought out, as this
issue has been by the voters them
selves. On the 4th of March, 1895, a
| few Democrats, most Of them MEM
bers of Congress, issued an address 10
the Democrats of the patton, assert
ing that the money question was the
paramount issue of the hour; assert
ing also the right of allowing the
Democratic party to control the posi-
lion of the people on this issues con-
GLIDING with the request that all be-
levers in the free coinage Of silver in
the Democratic party should take
charge of and control the policy OF
the Democratic party. Three months
llater at Memphis an organization was
perfected and the silver Democratic
! vent forth openly and boldly and
courageously proclaiming their belief
and declaring that if successful they
would crystalize ia platform the
declaration which they. had made;
and then began the conflict with a
zeal approaching the zeal which in.

Tampa. Fla. May 19.-General Wey-

portation of tobacco from Cuba after
ten days has caused great consterna-
ton among the large manufacturers
Of Tampa. Many of them have large
quantities of tobacco already pur-
chased in cuba. and they fear they
cannot get it out in the time prescribed.
Some firms have enough of the new
crop in Cuba to last a year and it is in

CONTEST CLOSE IN THE 18Th
And the Weak Man May Win the
Senatorial Nomination.

Two of the seatorial candidates in
the Thirty eighth senatorial district
were in the city yesterday George W.
Watson of Kinsley and Bob Hopkins
of Finney.
Both gentlemen are absolutely sure
of success i'm the coming convention at
Larned, May ~, and do not mind say
ing so Conservative politicians, how
ever, who have been keeping track of
the situation in the district, say they
do not see how either of these candi-
dates can win. There is considerable
feeling between Watson and Hopkins,
and it is said neither faction viii ever
consent to the nomination of the 9TH
er's candidate. This being the case,
and each holding about the same mum
Der of votes. it might be impossible to
nominate either. "A third candidate in
the field is j. S. simmons of Lane
county who some people think win be
the nominee in the end The total
number of votes in the convention will
be 79. or 80 to nominate. Each candidate
has about Is votes on the first ballot
and the vote will probably remain this
way for sometime.

JUDGE HORIZONS OLD BOOK.
IT is More Than a Century Old and is
Highly Priced.

Judge John It. Morton has an old
book which he prizes highly. 1t is an
old Bible that was given to his grand
mother for a Wedding present in 1880.
The book was printed in 1888 and it is
bound in sheep though age has almost
worn away the leather. The leaves are
yellow but the printing is clear and
distinct
One popularity of the Bible is that
there is a little sermon printed just un-
der each verse The verse is taken as
the text and the author told what he
thought about it. Some of these OBJ
serNaLIons IS Decidedly Interesting.
