The election of a "middle-of-

the local populists, ascribed to

BRYAN rs NOTIFIED
DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR THE
PRESIDENCY MAKES A SPEECH.

Accepting the Nomination for the Pres;-
dency-Twenty Thousand People Present
to See and Hear Him-Sewall Also Ac-
cepts in a Brief Speech.
NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-William Jen-
nings Bryan Of Nebraska and Arthar
Sewall of Maine were formally notified
Of their nomination by the Democratic
party for the offices of president and
vice president at meeting in the big
Madison Square Garden, which was
notable political event and a remarkable
climax to the remarkable tour of the
presidential candidate across half the
continent. An army of unnumbered
thousands filed the streets for several
squares about the building in vain hope
Of securing admission. In the hall,
which was fiery furnace, Mr.. Bryan
spoke to 10000 ticket holders for nearly
two hours. His address dealt almost
entirely with the financial question !;
was more argumentative and less elcs
quent than his historic Chicago speech
which won for him
A Presidential Nomination.,
and only in a closing appeal to the citi-
zens of New York did he speak in the
strain In which he captured the Chi
rago convention. He was surrounded
by many of the silver leaders, Jones Of
Arkansas, Blackburn Of Kentucky,
"Silver Dick' Bland, St. John of New
York, Stewart Of Nevada, Tillman Of
South Carolina, George Fred Williams
of Massachusetts-som of whom had
been rival aspirants for his place Oh the
ticket. Mr.. Sewall spoke briefly after
Bryan and was heartily cheered. Gov
ernor Stone of Missouri delivered the
notification speech which declared that
the work of the Chicago convention
had been the
Work of the Plain People
and that Bryan was their candidate.
After the notification meeting Mr..
Bryan was driven to the Hotel Bar
tholdi, facing Madison Square Garden,
where he spoke again, standing Oh
balcony with Mr.. Sewall and Mrs.
Bryan, who shared with her husband
all the honors and attentions of the day.
This second audience standing in the
streets seemed to be composed mostly of
workingmen and Mr.. Bryan exhorted
them to support the cause of free silver
with one of the most effective open air
speeches which he has made in the
campaign. Lesser lights of the party
and single tax men held six overflow
meetings on the street around Madison
Square and made speeches during the
garden meeting, so that the opening
Of the Democratic campaign in the city
made an exceedingly lively night.

SCORES THE DOCTOR.

Permit me, a reader of your
paper, to publish the following in
reply to the Doctors apparent
change of heart. TO say l was
surprised at his "going back on
Lind is putting it mild. Just at
the very elimination Of just
what the people want. and what
by general demand and common
consent Of the reform forces ap-
pears obtajnabie, viz, victory for
reform. the Doctor deserts and
soWs the seeds Of discord and dis
harmony. In the eleventh hour
he attempts to break up what by
general agreement ought to be
an honest compact. John Lind
became q candidate for governor
in response to a general demand
from the common people of this
State. In and out of season
the Doctor has been shouting
Lind, and now when victory is in
sight he changes! He says the
populists must have all the i'm
portant offices if Lind is elected:
| want to characterize this under
existing circumstances as a most
unreasonable proposition. How
could Mr.. Lind agree to such an
Unfair request? Nominated and
elected by al ama]gamation Of all
the reform forces how he is to
recognize only one party in official
appointments! Just as if all hon
esty and competency we're
within that party! The most i'm
portant appointments are the
Railroad Commissioners, and
here the law provides that not
more than two, shall belong to
any one party. How could Mr..
Lind execute the luw, and ac-
cede to the Doctors proposition?
To treat all interests fair, in the
event ofhis election, is all Mr..
Lind can promise, and if he pro
misses more, then /, don't want
him for governor The Doctor
also says that the peoples party

is entitled to more recognition.

AS anticipated, we were gradually

exposed and violent pressures but the
Fran surpassed our expectations, being
superior to any strain. The tempera-

winter. During weeks the mercury was

The sea was up to 80 fathoms deep

Bryan to Stump the Country, Speaking
From the Rear Of a Train.
NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-Mr. Bryan
held several conferences during the day
with members of the Democratic ma
tional committee who were in the
city. One of the things which was de-
cided upon at the meeting was that Mr..
Bryan will travel the country over, adj
dressing the crowds from the rear of a
railroad car An announcement to
this effect was prepared by the chair
man of the national committee, Senator
Jones. It is as follows
1T has been decided that Mr.. Bryan
will enter lively interest in the cam
paign about Sept. 1 and continue on
the stump until the election. In order
to obtain a much needed rest and to
prepare the letter Of acceptance before
the speechmaking begins, he viii spend
the next two weeks at some quiet place
not yet decided upon. The visit to
Bath, Me-, will therefore be postponed
until the latter part Of September,
when Mr.. Bryan will make a number
OF speeches in New England.'
