STONE TO NOTIFY HRIAN
Mlssouri's Governor Will Tell the Can
didate OF His Nomination.


didate OF His Nomination.
Jefferson City, No, August g.
Governor W. J. Stone of Missouri
is proud man this evening, for he
will be the man who will inform
William j. Bryan of the fact that
he has been nominated by the Dem
ocratic party for the office of presi-
dent of the United States. Senator
Stephens White, of California, this
afternoon telegraphed Governor
Stone that he would not be able to
be in New York city upon August
IL to notify Mr.. Bryan of his nom.
ination according to the plans of the
Democratic national committee, and
asking him if he would not act in
his stead Governor Stone at once
answered that he would. The mott
tication will take place at Madison
Square garden on the evening of
August IL, and it will mark the
formal opening of the campaign.
Governor Stone will leave Jefferson
City as soon as the nomination for
Governor is made, and it is probable
that as soon as Mr.. Bryan hears
of the change of programme he will
invite Governor Stone to accompany
Mr. Bland and himself on their trip
to New York.
MY speech will not be .ong
one said Mr.. Stone to Times cor,
respondent this evening. Il dc
not expect that what l say will take

say will be our creed for the cam
paign Bryan will make a great
speech. He will show the men Of
New York what kind Of inen ae

Governor Stone is undoubtedl,
greatly pleased with the homo
which has been rendered him. Hi
friends have been saying ever since
the Chicago convention that b.
should have been chosen to pu

undoubtedly make great effort t.
prove to New York that while Bry

violin and the violoncello. Nearly all the
other instruments were reed, f1ageoiets and
clarionets with an occasional French horn.
The big attraction of the band for street
parades was a chime of bells, which were
carried on big stick above the players
head. He shook them as the band marched
along, and made great deal of noise il not
music. Cymbals, drums, bass and snares,
were more In evidence as features than
they are now. The Marine Band had the
honor and credit Of inventing what was
called the hoom-pah horn. It was a horn
of immense size 1t was not intended SO
much for musical purposes as 1t was to
carry off plunder. Whenever the band off,

Is 1isping thought to be inappropriate to
