ANOTHER DEMONSTRATION.
When Mr.. Bryan concluded, after
speaking an hour and forty minutes,
there was another demonstration, but it
was brief The far galleries had per-
ceptibly dwindled and the crowd had
shouted itself into the same condition
of voice that Mr. Bryan was in.
At the end of the cheering, Governor
Stone turned to Mr.. Arthur Sewall, the
vice-presidential candidate, and in
few words, formally notified him of his
nomination.
Governor Stones remarks were not
audible, even to those who sat near the
platform. The audience had become
restless, and were in great disorder.
1t was evident that the people who had
patiently listened to the great speech
of Mr. BRYAN were anxious to get out
in the fresh air.
The chairman raped many times for
order, but could not quiet the audience.
Mr.. Sewall was obliged to begin his
speech amid a. noise that made it diff
cult for him to be heard ten feet away.
The speaker was compelled to stop sew
eral times while the chairman urged
upon the audience to restore order. Peo-
pie were now moving out in great num-
bers and the noise in the hall drowned
the voice of the speaker. Mr.. Sewal
said, in part:
MR.. SEWALL'S REPLY.
''The Democracy of the country real
ize that all the great principles of our
party are as potent and essential to
the we'll being of the country today as
they have always been, and as they
ever will be, but the overshadowing
issue before the country now, made
dominant by the distressed condition
prevailing throughout our land, is the
demand for reform in our existing
monetary system. Our party, and we
believe a great majority of the Amer
lean people, are convinced that the
legislation of 1873 demonetizing silver
was a wrong inflicted. upon our coun-
try which should and must be righted.
ard has so narrowed the base of our
monetary structure that it is unstable
and unsafe and so dwarfed it in it's
development and in its power to fur
nish the necessary financial blood to
the nation, that commercial and in
dustrial paralysis has followed. We
believe that we need and must have
the broad and expanding foundation
of both gold and silver to support
monetary system strong and stable,
capable of meeting the demands of a
growing country and an industrious,
energetic and enterprising people; a
system that will not be weakened and
panic-stricken by every foreign draft
upon us; a system that will maintain
A PARITY OF JUST VALUES
and to the nations money, and protect
US from the frequent fluctuations Of
the day, so disastrous to every business
and industry of the land. We demand
the free coinage of silver, the open
ing of our minis to both money metals
without discrimination, the return to
the money of our fathers, the money
of the constitution-gold and silver. We
believe this is the remedy and the
only remedy for the evil from which
we are now suffering; the evil that is
now so fast devastating and impover-
ishing our hand and people, bringing
poverty to our homes and bankruptcy
to our business, which, if allowed to
continue, will grow until our very in
stitutions are threatened. The demone-
tization of silver has thrown the whole
primary money function on gold, ap-
preciating its value and purchasing
power
Restore the money function to sill
yer and silver will appreciate and its
purchasing power increase. Take from
gold its monopoly, its value will be
reduced and in due course the parity
of the two metals Will again obtain
under natural causes. We shall then
have a broad and unlimited foundation
for a monetary system, commensurate
with our country's needs, and future
development; not the unsafe basis of
today, reduced by half by the removal
of silver and continually undermined
by foreigners carrying from us cur
gold. believe we are right. The
PEOPLE ARE WITH US
and what the people declare is always
right and must prevail
