The report of the committee on reso-

was considered necessary, and was
adopted with much enthusiasm. 1t was
as follows:
"Resolvcd, That the Democrats of
Luzerne county, in convention assem-
bed, hereby endorse the nomination of
William j. Bryan and Arthur Sewall as
candidates for president and vice pres-
dent of the United States and the plat
form adopted by the national convention

nateo by C. f. McHugh, and he was
chosen amid cheers by the delegates
and spectators. A committee was sent
to inform him of the liberty the dele
gates had taken with his name and
when brought TO the platform the state
chairman was given an ovation such as
is seldom rendered candidate. He ad-
dressed the audience for some time,
thanking the Democrats of Luzerne for
comforting upon him this unsolicited
honor. He touched lightly upon the
issue of the day but was compelled to
make his speech very brief in order to
catch train for Erie, whittier he went
to greet w. j. Bryan the next day.
