Peoria, Ills, June 23.-For over an
hour before the Democratic State conven-
ton WAS announced to convene, thousands
of people from all over the State began to
gather ut the convention hall Every
seat in the hall and all the available
standing room was taken.
1t was near 1890 when W. H. Hinrich
sen, chairman of the State central CONT
tee, called the convention to order and
announced the temporary organization
with :. a. II. Bell, as Temporary chair
man. Mr.. Bell. ON taking the g;tvcl, said
i'll part:
III there ever was Il time in the history
of amy political party when every step
should he taken with prudence but with
out fear. the time is now at hand. Great
issues are before the people. Momentous
interests are at stake.
Pour years ago we nominated for the
Presidency from New York, in spite of
the protest of the delegation from that
State. May God forgive us for it, At
that election we carried almost every
State. Our hopes were then bright
But alas, our President. forgetting the
tariff issues Of which he had so grandly
won, brought confusion into his party by
striking down with traitorouIs hands,
he only apology that still remained for
the coinage of the peoples silver. As Il
result the Democracy of Illinois To day
has no representative in Congress. The
rank and file of the Democratic party
has always been for the free coinage of
silver and gold ut the old ratio The
declaration of the party has heretofore
been couched in cquivocal terms. We
are told by some of our friends that for
harmony's sake we must concliatc, we
must straddle this campaign. We must

\ recess until , o'clock was then taken,
that the committees might prepare their
reports.
The delegates were slow in assembling
after the recess and it was 3:30 before the

received with loud cheers. In taking the

This is an increase of $50, 344, or
nearly 90 per cent, very handsome
increase, and much larger than the
average throughout the country.
Although defeated, the Democracy
even in Kentucky is much stronger
in point of numbers than it was four
years ago. The only States where
there was decrease in the Demo
cratic vote are Alabama, Georgia,
Louisiana and Virginia. In all
these States, save Virginia, the loss
was due to the fact that there bad
been an exciting State election I'M
mediately before the national one.
This inevitably tires the people of
politics, produces a reaction and
cuts down the vote. In Georgia the
unfortunate nomination of Watson
injured the Democracy. In Louis
lana the Australian ballot cut down
the vote, but no one would venture
to suggest that the local Democracy
is not far stronger than it has been
for many years. Here and there
the old struggle between the Demo,
Gratis and Populists was kept up; but
with the possible exception of North
Carolina the result of the election
was to bring back many Populists
into the ranks of the Democracy,
and to strengthen the latter

A large number of the Eastern
papers are stating that Mr.. Bryan
lost heavily in the South as com

1892. and that his nomination was,
therefore, blow to the Southern
Democracy. This theory, while
quite favorite one Just at present,
Is not sustained by the figures. Mr.
Bryan, as a matter of fact, polled a
much larger vote in the South than
Mr.. Cleveland, as the following
