WIN Decorate tho Courtroom.
The Gazette is pleased to note
that steps have been taken
to decorate the courthouse for
the meeting Tomorrow night. Flags
and bunting have been secured
as we'll as other necessary articles.
A number of young ladies have
volunteered their services and will
greatly assist in the work.
At the congressional convention
recently held here there was a
marked absence of the remotest
attempt at decoration. The party
managers had totally ignored that
part of the program. Not a single
flag waved in the hall, excepting the
one brought here fom New Iberia.
A visiting delegate remarked to the
writer that the arrangements at the
hall were "decidedly bum" Let
US hope that in the future the local
Democracy will do better.

INFLUENCE

Washington, Oct. 1o.--The Dem

prepared a statement, given out to-

shown that not only are there trusts

baneful influence everything manu-

These increases have all taken place

Mckinley, whom the trusts are sup

contributions to the Republican
campaign fund, while exercising
every means in their power. fairly
and unfairly, to force those in their
employ to vote the Republican
ticket. One interesting thing in
connection with the increases
named under trust manipulation is
the fact that while the manufactured
article has doubled in value, the
price of the raw material out OF
which. it is made remains un-
changed, showing that the trust no,

is the further fact that every manu-

SENATOR HILLS IDEA
Fears New York's Action on Finance
Plank Win Iniure Party.

Kansas City, July Sex Senator Hill
was told by an Associated Press CORE
spondent of the action of the minority
and his own states action in voting to
support the majority report. He said:
Il am surprised that the states OPP
posed to this drastic silver announce
ment should show such little energy. /
feel they have made a grievous mis-
take and am sure it will seriously hurt
the party. As to my own state Mr.. Van
WXck in order to get on the committee
pledged the silver men that he would
not present a minority report or sign
one if his proposed platform was de-
feated. In that way he has been play
ing on two sides and he is caught now
where he is not representing the people
of either his district or the state"
what will be done in the conven-
tion?" was asked.
Il have not had time to consider" he
replied. "Of course an amendment
could be offered and debated, but it
would be rather difficult for me to do it
because my own delegation, under
whose unit rule act would be against
me. Still I think it wise that the matter
shall be brought before the convention"
The vote in the New York state del
egation taken on a poll showed: To
support the majority report for a silver
plank, 40, including Tammany, Kinga
county, Albany county, Erie county,
Monroe county and Rensselaer,.
For a conservative plank not men
tioning a ratio, IS; not voting, 6.

A BRILLIANT SPEECH.
J. W. Mills of Maryland Appeals For
More Conservative Action.

Mr.. Chairman, ladies and my fellow
countrymen, said J. w. Mills of Mary
land 1 am, my fellow citizens one of
those Democrats not agreeing to every
dogma in the platform of 1896, yet in an
humble effort to sustain the DEGREES of
my party convention, followed the flag
of William Jennings Bryan To me fell
low Democrats, it is one thing to be a
Democrat from adherence to dogma and
it is another and entirely different thing
to be a Democrat from instructive syS-
pathy with the hopes and aspirations of
the great masses of the plain people of
this republic. (Applause)- Believing
that William J. Bryan (applause) repre-
SentS this type of Democracy, putting
aside this dogma and that dogma in
1896, turning my back upon relatives
and friends and Democrats with whom
1 have associated from infancy, hold
aloft the DEGREES of a Democrat national
day with every fibre of my nature beat
ing with the principles which found
Judgement in my breast in 1896. Great
applauSe). When this convention speaks
your humble speaker will find his way
back to a rural Democracy in Maryland
to plead for the election of the great
tribune of the people (applause) who af-
ter all, however may differ with him
as to immaterial Things recognize to
be the greatest living leader of Democ-
racy in this American republic. (Great
applause and cheers). But, fellow cit

this convention representing the con-
sentative state of Maryland, a state
that until 1896 registered it's vote for ev-
cry Democratic candidate for president
for over a quarter of a century of that
time. (Renewed applause). There are
many men in Maryland who would like
to come back and follow the flag of De-
mocracy in this campaign (applause)
and while need no invitation, while the
gentlemen who are with me to stand by
the decree of this convention need no in
vitation, while those men helped to de-
feat your humble speaker in 1885, put
aside my own prejudices, forget the
wounds which they have inflicted upon
me and for the sake of the party I ap-
peal to you to act today so that we may
on every side work for the leader you
and have already chosen. (Great APP
plause).
You may say there is no difference be-
tween which is asked and that which is
conceded, but recollect that which is
asked for is endorsed by such friends of
William ]. Bryan as John w. Daniel of
Virginia (applause) and Carter H. Har-
riSon of Illinois. (ApplauSe). If these
men be not friends of Bryan, in the
name of God where are his friends in

HOW BRYAN CELEBRATED.
Spent the Fourth Quietly at Home
Receiving Bulletins.

Lincoln, Neb., July 5.-W. ]. Bryan
spent the Fourth of July in sending tel
egrams to political friends and man
ayers and in receiving bulletins from
Kansas City.
The Bryan home was prettily, though
not deliberately decorated with the ma
tional colors- In the early hours of the
morning, before the convention met, he
held occasional consultations with
friends at Kansas City over the long
distance telephone. Mr.. Bryan ap-
parently, was the least concerned man
in Lincoln as to what was Transporting
in the convention city. He was in the
best of humor and entertained his
neighbOrS and friends who called dur
ing the day with stories and incidents.
He spent the morning hours in pleasant
conversation with a number of news
paper men on his front porch, the sub
ject of politics or convention never once
being preached.
During the morning it was suggested
that while the Declaration of Independ-
ence was being read in Kansas City
Mr.. Bryan read the document to his Wis
itors here. He complied with the re-
quest, and was applauded at the con-
clusion of the reading.
Benton Mart, formerly of Lincoln.

end, and was able to furnish Mr. Bryan

that in the midst of the Hill demoastra

BRYAN WILL NOT SAY.
Efforts to Get Expression of His
Choice For Running Mate Fails.

Lincoln, Neb., July with the nomi-
nation of W. J. Bryan a foregone con-
clusion, interest in Lincoln in the pro-
ceedings of the Democratic convention
was not as keen as naturally might be
expected. Before the convention ad-
journed last night people deserted the
bulletin boards, willing to wait until
morning for news. This is in a measure
accounted for by the fact that a large
number of Bryan's most demonstrative
supporters are in Kansas City. Even at
the Bryan home there were no untoward
incidents yesterday. or today. After the
convention had adjourned last night and
the bulletins ceased cunning, Mr.. Bryan
had a long consultation with party
leaders at Kansas City over the tele-
phone. His interest centered in the eff
forts of the committee on resolutions to
reach an agreement but If he offered to
make any concession from the position
it is pretty well understood he has ia
ken, no one in Lincoln knows it
Efforts to get the slightest expression
from him as to his choice of running
mates have failed signally and he is
equally reticent as to his plans after
the nominations are made. If Bryan
goes to Kansas City, he will start late
this evening, his action being contin-
gent on the progress of the convention
