shall once more be the nominee OF
the Democracy for president.
An incident in the state committee
illustrates the feeling of the sound
money men on this question. When
Charles P. Donnelly, who was made
chairman of the committee on plat
form, mounted the stage to present his
report, the popular Philadelphia leader
was received with applause. He had
but few sentences to read before he
reached Bryan's name, and then the
convention fairly went off its feet IN
wildly cheering, shouting and yelling
for the Nebraska colonel. The chair
man of the convention promptly put
the question, when motion was made
to adopt the platform as presented, and
It was carried with shouts of approval.
In an instant John Cadwalader, Jr.,
of Philadelphia, commanded the eye
of the presiding officer. "Mr. Chair
man." said he. calmly, lin view OF
the fact that Mr.. Bryan's name appears
In the platform l shall withdraw from
this convention"
Then came a scene of wild disorder.
Nobody knew to what extent the bolt
would reach.
Put him out, put him out" came
indignant shouts from the galleries,
and as Mr.. Cadwalader left the hall
storm of Kisses followed him to the
door. Many other gold men would
have withdrawn also were they not
interested in candidates for supreme
Judge.
The Bryan hurrah started with the
speech of the temporary chairman,
William M. Brinton, of Lancaster, who
was only permitted to get off long
winded address by giving the patriots
frequent occasion to cheer for their
favorite national leader.
They have since renounced the ticket
and the platform.
REPUBLICANS PLEASED.
1t is almost unnecessary to state
that the Republican leaders are not a
bit sorry that the Democratic party
named free silverites on its ticket, and
that it openly endorsed Bryan. They
watched the convention with consid-
erable interest. They wanted to know
Just how easy the Democrats intended
making the campaign. That the Re-
publicans are convinced that they will
have an easy time of it in the fall can
vass goes without saying
I'VE will have a cinch," said one Of
the Republican leaders. IF we had
planned the convention at Harrisburg
ourselves we could not have done more
efficient work in the interest of the Re-
publican party. Pennsylvania does
not believe in free silver men, nor does
It believe in Bryan, and it means that
the Republicans will have an old fash
ioned majority in the fall fight"
The Democrats are now in a position
where they cannot expect aid from So
called independent sources. In the gu
bernatorial campaign of last year the
Democratic platform abstained from
mentioning the name of Bryan, and in
this way the party got support hat

But now with Bryan endorsed, aid the
presidential campaign but year dis

Democrats will have even united

they are not appreciated in the Dem

Palmer and Buckner presidential
ticket. They point to Judge Yerkes
case, for instance, and they say that
it is outrageous that the fact that he
was against Bryan should have been
used against him in his candidacy for
