action unnecessary. Unmean1nS plat forms, words susceptible of interpre- tation according to the preferences of the speaker or the auditor have been employed by the political parties of the United States.
 Supposed expediency has prevented the use of plain and positive language until political duplicity has excited universal distrust. In this campaign the Republican party pledges it's ad- herents to the gold standard and con- mits the destiny of the United States to the keeping of foreign financial syndicates and their agents here and rests confident in the belief that the sordid selfshness by which it is con trolled cannot be overcome. It's plat form admits the evils of a gold stand ard, but cOnfesses the party's inability to afford relief ana announces supne submission to a policy which it pre- tends to condemn. Patriotic courage is more than reminiscence. The Democratic party declines the un- manly suggestion that the people of
 the United States cannot escape op-
 pression save at the will of the op-
 pressor. Its declaration of principles
 not only evinces faith in the bimetal-
 lism of the constitution, but proclaims that this government is competent to declare and maintain its own policy
 without reference to the caprices or wishes of any other power. It de-
 nounces as un-American the theory that we are not independent in mat ters financial. and contends that there cannot be any freedom here if fiscal 1 policies are to be dictated from abroad. To doubt your election is to deny the
 manhood of our electors; to concede that the producers of the United
 States, those who toll, those who add
 to the wealth of the land, will vote to
 perpetuate alien dominancy, is to as sume, in the face of conclusive proof
 to the contrary, ignorance and degra-
 dation
 we are convinced that victory
 awaits the people and their just cause
 and assure you of the earnest support fellow citizens"
 i Bryan's response was a master piece, and as he proceeded the i'm
 mense audience was carried resist
 lessly along in full sympathy and ac-
 cord with every utterance. His pie
 ture of the struggling masses coping
 with the hydraIheaded monster, single
 standard of gold, wealth and its con- ' binations, all arrayed against the fight
 for existence, apparently found roo. in the minds of his hearers. He re- viewed the platform adopted at Chi cago and the full field of present pol itics was handled in his inimitable , telling way.
 The scene at the close will never bt : forgotten by those present. Nothing like it has ever been before witnessed
 on this or any other continent. } The force and power of Bryan's speech tonight will have effect in thi: l country for many years to come. The notification to Sewall was de . livered to him as follows
 = Arthur Sewall, of Maine:
 You were nominated by the Ma g tional Democratic convention whicl
 assembled in Chicago on July ' fo r vice-president of the United States 2 and the notification committee ap
 pointed by that convention is here t
 apprise you of such nomination. = ''I'his honor was conferred upon yo1 U = mitted personal worth, but because yo }, also posses in a marked degree tn : specific qualities essential to th e proper discharge of responsibilitie - which you will be called upon to as
 sume. In this season of candid ex r pression, of unequivocal avowal, n = more appropriate choice could hay e been made Your sympathy with tn ' principles announced in our platforI r is not of recent date You have prove y your fealty to Democracy under mos O trying conditions. Residing in a com j. munity intensely Republican, with n $ hope from an adverse dominant ma d jority, you have Loyalty sustained you /, position and have never hesitated t e profess the doctrines of faithfl l. Democrat. Upon the absorbing fnar = cial issue as presented by our conveI h tion, you have been sound when tn e. hour of triumph seemed remote, an l. when arrogant money changer e throughout the world boasted that th
 conquest of the American masses wa d complete.
