iect to Government by injunction as
new and highly dangerous form of
oppression by which Federal Judges,
in contempt of the laws of the States
and rights of citizens, become at once
| Legislators, judges and eXecutioners,
and we approve the bill passed at the
| last session of the United States SEN
ate and now pending in the House of
Representatives relative to contempts
in Federal courts, and providing for
trials by jury in certain cases of con-
tempt.
No discrimination should be in
dulged by the Government of the
United States in favor of any of it's
debtors. We approve of the refusal
of the fifty-third Congress to pass the
Pacific railroad funding bill and de-
nounce the efforts of the present Re-
publican Congress to enact a similar
measure.
Recognizing the just claims of de-
serving Union soldiers, we heartily en-
dorse the rule of the present Commits
sioner of Pensions, that no names shall
be arbitrarily dropped from the pen
sion rolls, and the fact of enlistment
and service should be deemed conclus-
i've evidence against disease and dis
ability before enlistment.
We favor the admission of the ter
ritories of New Mexico and Arizona
into the Union of States, and we favor
the early admission of all the terri
tories having the necessary popula
ton and resources to entitle them Il
: statehood, and while they remain ter
ritories we hold that the officials ap
pointed to administer the government
of any territory, together with the dis
trict of Columbia and Alaska, should
be bona-fide residents of the territory
or district in which the duties are to
be performed. The Democratic party
believes in home rule and that all pub
lie lands of the United States SHOULD
| be appropriated to the establishment
of free homes for American citizens.

CALIFORNIA

CHICAGO, July 10-The Californians
here tonight are jubliant. The hyp-
motto spell of oratory which Bryan
threw over them and the rest of the
silver delegates yesterday has not yet
been broken. They, together with most
of the other silver delegations, we're
grouped in the dark for fit candi-
date Until Bryan stepped on the ros-
trum no one was entirely satisfied
with any of the candidates who had
been talked of before.

During all these years the Democrat
ic party has resisted the tendency of
selfish interests to the centralzation
of governmental power and steadfast-
ly maintained the integrity of the dual
scheme of government established by
the founders of this Republic of repub-
lies. Under it's guidance and teach
ings the great principle of local self

porter of the tenets of that organi-
zation.
William Jennings Bryan was born in
Salem, ILL.,, March 10, 1860. He was
graduated from Illinois College at
Jacksonville in 1881. To make his way
through the Union College of Law at
Chicago he worked in Lyman Trum-
bulls law Office. From his earliest
years he had a fancy for public speak

that the power to issue notes to cir
culate as money be taken from the
National banks and that all Taper
money shall be issued directly by the
Treasury department, be redeemable
in coin and receivable for all debts,
public and private. We hold that tar

pose of revenue, such duties to be so
adjusted as to operate equally

they no longer repay the cost of pro-
dution. We demand return to that
simplicity and economy which befits
Il democratic Government and reduc-
tion in the number of useless offices,
the salaries of which drain the sub
stance of the people.
We denounce arbitrary interference
by Federal authorities in local affairs
as a violation of the constitution of

throughout the country and not dis
criminate between class ~ section,
and that taxation should be limited
by needs of the Government, honestly
and economically administered.
We denounce as disturbing to busi-
ness the Republican threat to restore
the Mckinley law, which has twice
been condemned by the people iI Ma
tional elections, and which, enacted
until the false plea of protection TO
home industry, proved prolific
breeder of trusts and monopolies, en-
riched few at the expense of the
many, restricted trade and deprived
the producers of the great American
staples of access to their natural mar
kets. Until the money question is set
tied we are opposed to any agitation
for further changes in our tariff laws,
except such as are necessary to meet
the deficit in revenue caused by the
adverse decision of the Supreme Court
on the income tax. But for this de-
cision by the Supreme Court there
would be no deficit in the revenue in
the law passed by Democratic Con-
gress in strict pursuance of the uni
form decisions of that court for near
Iy 100 years, that court having in that
decision sustained constitutional OBJ
| jections to it's enactment which haI
previously been overruled by the alb
lest Judges who have ever sat on that
bench.
Congress to use all the constitutional
power which remains after that deci-
sion, or which may come from its re
versal by the court as it may hereafter
be constituted, so that the burdens OF
taxation must be equally and impair
tally laid, to the end that wealth may
bear its due proportion of the expenses
of the Government. We hold that the
most efficient way of protecting Am
|
tation of foreign pauper labor to com
pete with il i'm the home market, and
that the home market TO our American
farmers and artisans is greatly re-
duced by vicious monetary system
which depresses the price of theil
products below the cost Of production
and thus deprives them of the means
of purchasing the products of oul
home manufacturers.
The absorption of wealth by the few
the consolidation of our leading rail
road systems and the formation o.
trusts and pools, require a strictel
control by the Federal Government o
those arteries of commerce. We de
mand the enlargement of the powers
of the Interstate Commission and sucl
restrictions and guarantees in the con
troll of railroads as will protect tn,

sion in the maintenance of the rights
of the States and in its assertion of
the necessity of confining the General
Government to the exercise of the
powers granted by the Constitution of
the United States.
Realizing that the money question
is paramount to all others at this
time, we invite attention to the fact
that the Federal constitution names
silver and gold ogether as the money
metals of the United States, and that
the first coinage law passed by Con-
gress under the constitution made the
silver dollar the monetary unit, and
admitted gold to free coinage at ra-
ito based upon the silver dollar unit.
We declare that the act of 1873 demon
etizing silver without the knowledge
or approval of the American people
has resulted in the appreciation of
gold and a corresponding fall in the
prices of commodities produced by the
people; heavy increase in the bur
den of taxation and of all debts, pub
lie and private, the entrenchment of
the money-lending class at home and
abroad, the prostration of industry
and impoverishment of the people. We
are unalterably opposed to monometal-
lism, which has locked fast the pros
perity of the industrial people in the
| paralysis of hard times. Gold mono
metallism is British policy and its
adoption has brought other nations
into financial servitude to London. II
is not only un-American but anti-Am-
erican and it can be fastened 10 the
United States only by the sitting of
that spirit and love of liberty which
proclaimed our political independence
in 1776 and won it in the war of The
Revolution.
| We demand the free and unlimited
coinage of both gold and silver at the
present legal ratio of I6 to 1 without
waiting for the aid or consent of any
other nation. We demand that the
standard silver dollar shall he fui
legal tender equally with gold for AL
debts, public and private, and we faV-
or such Legislation as will prevent in
the future the demonetization of amy
kind of legal tender money by private
contract.
We are opposed to the policy and
practice of surrendering to the hold
ers of the obligations of the United
States the option reserved by law Ia
the Government redeeming such OH
cations in either silver coin or gold
coin.
We are opposed to the issue of ir-
terest- bearing bonds of the United
States in time of peace, and condemn
the trafficking with banking syndi-
Gates. which, in exchange for bonds
and. at an enormous profit to them
selves, supply the Federal treasury
with gold TO maintain the policy o.
gold monometallism.
Congress alone has the power to
coin and issue money, and President
Jackson declared that this power
could not be delegated to corporations
or individuals. We therefore demand

HOW HE ACTED.
CHICAGO, July 10.-Mr. Bryan re-
ceived the announcement of his nom
ination with all the composure and
calmness of man who had been used
to such things during longer life
than his. His black eyes were, per-
haps, slightly more dilated than ordi-
narily when the bulletin carrying the
nomination message was handed him,
but otherwise he manifested no change
of countenance or manner. He was
at the time sitting chatting with two
newspaper friends of his in the par
lor at the Clifton House.
If" he said, this is true, ! want
to do that which / have for some time
had in contemplation in this emer-
gency."
He then turned to the parlor table,
and, with a lead pencil, wrote on a
scrap of soft paper supplied by one
of his newspaper visitors the follow
ing:
