complimentary votes for Senator White.
South Carolina will cast eighteen votes
for Tillman, but may turn to Bryan.
As the wave has just begun its sweep.
il is difficult to tell as yet whether it is
spontaneous or is the result Of prccon-
certed plan. The Mississippi delegation
has decided TO cast its eighteen votes
for Bryan. A paper was circulated after
the Bryan speech, and all but two of the
Mississippi delegation signed it, agree
ing to vote for Bryan. Under the unit
rule he will get the eighteen votes of
Mississippi. Senator Money of Missis-
sippi says that in his opinion Bryan will
be the nominee While the Alabama
delegation has agreed TO vote for Bryan,
the leaders in his interest are apprehcn-
sive that they will not be able to hold
them to their pledge if the ballot be long
postponed. The Nebraska delegation
will not themselves place Mr.. Bryan in
nomination, but they have asked that
the nominating speech be made by an
Alabama man. That state heads the list
and it is hoped that the effect would
be an immediate stampede to him. 1t is
not yet decided whether Alabama will
consent to take this responsibility.
The feeling in South Dakota is very
friendly to Mr.. Bryan and it is probable
that he would secure five of the eight
votes South Carolina, Virginia and
Tennessee are undecided so far no poll
having been made of the delegations.
West Virginia is for Bryan for second
place.
Ii. NJ. Boylston of the Nebraska dele
cation says it has not been definitely
decided whether Mr.. Bryan will be
placed in nomination formally. Mr..
Bryan, he says, does not want a formal
presentation.
Mr.. Boylston says the Bryan move
ment is wholly spontaneous and has
come so quickly as to take the Nebraska
delegation wholly unawares He re-
CARDS the nomination of Bryan as as
sured and says Illinois will come to him
after discharging her duty to Bland.
Governor Overmcycr of Kansas says
the Bryan wave is the result of the en-
thusiasm evoked by Bryan's speech and
he thinks calmness will be restored and
the effect of the movement countcractcd.

WILL REMAIN PASSIVE.
A Few Delegations Will Refuse to Vote
for Presidential Candidates.

Chicago, July 9.-After the adjourn
ment of the convention the Wisconsin
delegation held meeting and de-
termined that the vote of that state
should not be cast for u presidential can
didate ON the platform adopted today.
Gen. Bragg will announce this decision
from the speakers stand. The Wiscon-
sin delegation is instructed TO vote when
n ma iority shall determine on this qucs-
ton. The action of this delegation will
be followed 10y New York with seventy
two votes, New Jersey two, and seven of
the votes of Massachusetts. Other dele
cations have been in consultation, but no
decision has been reached The South
Dakota silver delegation is, according to
one of the delegates, going to cast its
vote for Bryan. Many of the delegates
in the Pennsylvania delegation think
they are warranted in not following the
instructions of the state and should not
present Governor Pattison's name. If
the delegation desires to carry out the
instructions to that extent Governor
Pattison's name will be presented and
voted for by Pennsylvania. After that
it is expected that the Pennsylvania del.
egation will not participate in the ballot
ing for Il presidential candidate.

man should be eligible for a third term

The federal government should care
for and improve the Mississippi river and
other great waterways of the republic
so as to secure for the interior states
easy and cheap transportation to tide
water. When any waterway of the re-
public is of sufficient Importance to de-

should be extended upon a definite plan
of continuous work until permanent i'm

The constitution of the United States
guarantees to every citizen the rights Of
civil and religious liberty. The Demo-
cratic party has always been the expo
nent of political liberty and religious
freedom and it renews its obligations and
rea firms the devotion to this fundamcn-
tai principle of the constitution.
We are in favor of the arbitration of
differences between employers engaged
in interstate commerce and their en-
ployes and recommend such legislation
as is necessary to carry out TINS prlncl-
pie.
Confiding in the justice of our cause
and the necessity of its success at the
polls we submit the foregoing declara-
ton of principle and purpose to the CON
siderate Judgment of the American peo-
pie.
We invite the support of all citizens
who approve them and who desire them
made effective through legislation and
for the country's prosperity.
We declare that the action of 1876
demonetizing silver without the knowl-
edge or approval of the American people
has resulted in the appreciation of the
gold an Il corresponding fall in the prices
of commodities produced by the people.
We are unalterably opposed to mono
mctallism which has locked fast the
prosperity of an industrial people in the
paralysis of hard times.
Gold recommendation is a British policy
and its adoption has brought other ma
tons into financial scrvitude to London.
1t is not only un-American, but anti
American and it can be fastened on the
United States only by the sitting of that
spirit and love of liberty which pro-
claimed our political independence Ill
1776 and which won the war of the revo-
luton.
We demand the free and unlimited
coinage of both gold an silver at the
present legal ratio of 16 to 1 without
waiting for the aid or consent of other
nations.
We demand that the standard silver
dollar shall be II legal tender equally
with gold for all debts. public and private
and we favor such legislation as will pre-
vent for the future the decentralization
of any kind of legal sender money by
nriNnte contract.

ALTGELD CARRIED AWAY.
He Declared Bryan's Speech the Great
est He Ever Heard

Chicago, July 9.-During the great
demonstration for Bryan, Governor Alt
geld said:
THAT is the greatest speech / ever
listened to. | do not know but that its
effect will be to nominate him.
When the uprOar of the procession of
banners bearing the names of the differ
cnt states was started there was n rush of
Nebraska men for the Illinois delegation.
The Illinois standard was torn loose and
n delegate started off with it. Before he
had gone ten feet Governor Altgcld saw
him and ordered the standard brought
back. You can not stampede u.s." he
cody said. 1--WE have declared for
Bland"
The banner was replaced. A moment
later the banner of Missouri appeared in
the line.
Now you can take it," said the COVER
nor. Missouri is in line and | guess we
can afford to join"
Then turning to the delegates who sur
rounded him, the governor said:
"That is the greatest speech ever
made. | had rather be able to make that
speech than be made president. Com
mon men are sometimes made presidents,
but it takes talent and brains to talk
like that"

MINORITY REPORT.
PATTISON TALKS.
If Silver Man Be Nominated 1t Is the
Duty of Gold Men to Support Him.

Philadelphia, Pa, July 0.-Ex-Gov-
ernor Robert e. Pattison denied the
truth of the dispatch from Chicago say
ing he received a telegram from Harrity
and Senator Smith of New Jersey re-
questing him to consent that his name
be not presented to the convention.
When asked if he would accept the nom
nation by the gold men if they should
bolt. he said:
Under no circumstances would | ac-
ccpt the nomination of Il boiling delega-
ton. The only manly way to indicate
the sentiment of men who believe in the
gold basis, in my Judgment, is by voice
and vote. To do anything else would be
cowardly. The delegation is sent TO eX-
press the opinion of its constituents in
an address supported by their votes
They were sent to the convention to vote
and not to run away"
The governor added that if silver
man was nominated it was undoubtedly
the duty of gold men to support him.
