TO THE HEART OF VENEZUELA.
Great Britain Pushing Her Surveys in
Spite of q Parley.

Washington, d. c., July 23.-Mail ad-
vices from Demerara up to July in
dicate that the British have not, by any
means, abandoned the survey of the
road through the disputed territory on
the border of Venezuela, and that while
the official surveyor. Mr.. Harrison, is
returning to Georgetown, special force
of 20 armed men under the command
Of Police Inspector Shaw left George
town June "a. under instructions to pro-
tect the surveyors.
|. NJ. Thurn has also been hurried to
the Acarabesi to deliver protest
against Venezuelan interferences. 1t Is
stated that force, however, is not to
be opposed to force. and In the event
of large body of hostile Venezueians
presenting themselves, the officer in
charge has explicit instructions to re-
tire without offering any resistance.
1t Is stated that at the time of Mr..
Harrisons arrest only nine miles of the
survey remained to be completed, and
1t Is extremely probable that the re-
naming distance has been covered
since that time. ...
Mr.. Harrison has not yet arrived at
Georgetown. although he was known to
be on the way. The Georgetown news
papers say that the policemen were
fully equipped with haversacks. ham,
mocks. etc, and a hundred rounds Of
ball cartridges each.

AN APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE.
We therefore confidently appeal to the
people of the United States to hold in
allegiance all its questions. however i'm
portant and even momentous they may ap-
pear. to sunder, IL need be, all former
party ties and affiliat ations, and unite In one
supreme effort to free themselves and
their children from the demagogue domi-
nation of the money power-a power more
destructive than any which has ever been
enacted upon the civilized men of any race
or In any age. And upon the consumma-
tion of our desires and efforts, We evoke
the aid of all patriotic American citizens
and the gracious favor of Divine Provi-
dence.
Inasmuch as the patriotic majority OF
the Chicago convention embodied in the
plank of Its platform the pre-enunciated
in the platform of American bimetallc
party be promulgated at Washington July
~, 1896. and herein reiterated which Is
not only the paramount, but the only real
issue in the pending campaign. therefore
their nominees. embody these patriotic
principles. we recommend that this con-
ventiOn nominate William j. Bryan of
Nebraska. for president. and Sewall. OF
Maine, for vice-oresidnet.
Ii was decided after discussion that
Senator Jones. of Nevada, should pre-
sent the report and designate some one
to readit. -- I'
At request of Mr. Baker it was de-
cided to withhold the platform and ad.
dress from the convention until S
o'clock tonight, but the. paper was
meantime given to the press. The Gues-
tion of naming a delegate to nominate
Bryan and Selwall was then taken up.
After brief debate II was decided not
to have the Chicago candidates nomin-
ated by an individual as the resolutions
of the committee recommended such
course

, Whereas the false accusation is so fire.

as equal to the gold dollar as debt payer
under our flag. are not patriotic in the de-
fense of our national honor.
Resolved. That all those who We're to-
merly true to the old flag and Who risked
their lives either at sea or on land, VINO
are present as degates to- this national
silver convention be requested to stand

While the old veterans were on their
feet, a confederate veteran, General

enticing, ard the government was given
into their control. How were those prom
Uses kept?
The first part was kept sure enough, for
capitalists whether their wealth was pro-
cured honestly or dishonesty, were made
to disgorge by hundreds of millions, as
witness the crash of failures, and the
closing or cutting down of our Industries
throughout the land. The disgorging part
was all right, but, my friends, did any of
those disgorged dollars find their way into
your pockets? Has that promised in
creased stream of wealth yet. been seen
coming your way?
Now this same party, with it's better
element and brains either kicked out or
deserving it, presents to youa new road by
which you and l are to be greatly bene-
flied, and this one is kind of double
ender.
1t is one where the silver mine and bull
lion owners are to get more goods for their
money while you and | are to get more
money for our goods.
Do you believe we shall both succeed?
And if not which of us are going to get
cheated? Which end of such a combine
usually does get the worst of it?

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, New York,
Aug. l.. William Jennings Bryan and
Arthur Sewall were formally notified
tonight, that they We're the choice of the
Democratic party for the highest offices
in the gift of the people of the United
States. An immense crowd was present
and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed
during the entire time the notification
ceremonies lasted. Over 900 uniformed
policemen were stationed in and about
the hall and nobody was permitted to
cross the line until the doors were opened
The crowd began to assemble shortly
after six, and an hour later the avenues
leading to the garden were literally
thronged with the waiting multitude.
Owing to the extreme heat, many who
arrived early to secure good positions
were obliged to drop out and retire At
seven, the doors were thrown open and
despite the efforts of the police to restrain
them the crowds on every side made
desperate rushes for the entrances In
the struggle many women tainted and
had to be carried away. The police final
ly began to use their clubs in an effort to
restore order. After being introduced
Messrs. Bryan and Sewall made speeches.
They were applauded.
