at Chicago when Bryan finished the
effort preceding his nomination. Men
and women rose to their feet and
cheered. On the platform, in the
boxes, up in the galleries, people were
shouting like mad. Men waved their
coats and their hats and women hut-
tered fans and handkerchiefs. The
band struck up and added to the din.
Mr.. Bryan held up his hand for ST.
lence. 1t was like an incentive to yell
louder. The crowd would lot be
thwarted. Mr.. Bryan made an effort
to speak. His voice was drowned in a
wild howl. Again he held up his hand
and again the cheering rose in its
might.
This was too much for him, he sat
down YEARLY. tut in a second jumped
up again, with one hand appraised for
silence. The shouters were getting
weary by this time, but the restrain
ing hand made them take Il last lease
on their efforts. Senator Jones shout
ed: Il appeal to this crowd to be in
order" But he was not listened to,
and the crowd did not cease until it
felt like it. Then Mr.. Bryan spoke in
as follows:

presented by the platform. 1t is fitting. how
ever, that st this time, IN the presence Of
tSOse here assembled, 1 speak at some length
in regard to the campaign upon which we are
now entering. We do not underestimate the
forces arrayed against US, nor are we IN
mindful of the Importance OF the strug-
gle in which we are engaged; but, relying for
success upon the Righteousness OF our cause, we
shall defead with all possible viGor the posi-
lions taken by our party. We are not surprised
that some OF our opponents, IN the absence
OF better argument, resort to abusive epithets,
but they may rest assured that no Ian
guage, however violent, no invectives, how
ever vehement will lead US to depart a single

1t has been charged by men standing high IN
business and political circles that our plat

THE SALVATION ARMY

BELLEvILLE, ILL.,, Aug. 13.-The Sal.
walton army disturbances, which have
extended over a period of months,
eliminated Tuesday night in the worst
riot which has ever occurred here.
The soldiers took their stand on the
steps of the courthouse, aud for two
hours held their position against the
repeated rushes of the mob. They
were rushed from the steps countless
times and roughly handled. One of
their flags was torn, and they were
subjected to great abuse. The mob
was led by Hans Schwarz, who mount
ed a pillar and harangued the crowd
to acts of greater violence. Police
protection was appealed for and re-
fused, but later Capt. Yiaekel and a
squad drove the crowd away and com

ACTION OF CANADIAN BANKS.
Take Steps to Decrease Circulation of
American siOney.

American siOney.
Toronto, Ont, Aug. ia combined
effort is about to be made by city banks
10 decrease circulation OF American
bills in this city. AT present the city
is flooded with American silver c%ertifi-
Gates. The following notice was posted
in the Standard bank Monday:
"On and after SATURDAY., August Is,
American one dollar bills Will only be
received for 90 cents"
1t is understood that other banks will
follow the example of the Standard
bank. This action will probably result
in a much decreased circulation of
American bills in this city. In regard
to the American silver, most of the city
banks are not accepting it at all. Some
will accept American silver only from
customers, but only in small amounts.
The railway companies refuse to hardle
it and departmental stores are discuss
ing the ACCESSIBILITY of refusing it as
money.
Hamilton, Ont, Aug. 11.-Following
the example of the Toronto banks, the
merchants local banks here have de-
cided to refuse 10 accept American sill
yer and silver certificates. For years
American bills and currency nave been
accepted at par by the merchants.
United States silver or silver certificates
will not be accepted in payment of city
taxes. This action is not due entirely
to the silver agitation in the United
States, but to the fact that at present
there is too much American silver in
circulation in Canada.

BRYAN NOTIFIED.
Vhe Ceremony Witnessed and En-
joyed by Thousands
Who Filled Madison Square Ga~rdenIFrom

Democratic Nominee the First
to Receive an Ovation.

New YORK, Aug. 13.-William Jen-
nings Bryan and Arthur Sewall were
formally notified last night that they
were the choice of the democratic
party for the highest offices in the gilt
Of the people of the United States.
Whatever might be the political in
clinations of any person who attended
this grand ratification of the de-
mocracy at the spacious Madi-
son Square garden, he must have
been permeated with the blind
est prejudice not to have been
thrilled by the excitement and the en-
shusiasm which prevailed during the
entire time the notification ceremonies
lasted. The presence of SO stupen-
dous a crowd of human beings was in
itself an eloquent tribute to the i'm
portance attached to the occasion.
And such a crowd as it was. Men and
women poured into the vast audi
forum through many inlcts. They
came in droves, in sections, and in or
DERBY marching step. The opening of
the doors was followed by a hurrying,
scurrying rush of feet, and in they
came, shouting, jumping, showing,
pushing, all intent on reaching the
places best available to see and hear

After awhile the ingress became more
orderly, and the entrance of the au-
dience settled down into a constant
movement inflow of human beings.
At Z o'clock the doors were thrown
open, and, despite the efforts of the
police to restrain them, the crowds on
svery'side made desperate rushes for
The entrances. A wild scene of tur-
moil ensued at the main entrance.
Men, women and policemen were jun
bled together in an indiscriminate
mob. Men tore each others and their
own clothes in their frantic en-
deavors to gain admission, and
matters looked serious for some
moments. Shrek after Shrek

Then the audience began to grow
impatient and cried for Bryan.
When Gov. Stone concluded, a man
began to wave a big American flag
over the latter's head. The crowd
went wild with enthusiasm and rose
as a man when Chairman Danforth
stepped forward and introduced Mr..
Bryan. Then came a demonstration
that far exceeded those that had fol-
lowed the mention of Bryan's name
previously in the evening. The scene
presented was strongly reminiscent of
