OF representative Democrats from all ovar

thousands Of outsiders in the CITY from
morning until midnight. n is estlmlt.d
that fully $500 people heard Mr.. Bry.tu
at the various points where he spoke in
the city.
While here he submitted 10 an inter
View, and took occasion 10 express him
self very decidedly regarding the COMM.
national election, which he declares wilt
surely result in an overwhelming Demo
cratic victory. THE Democratic parry L.
sure to win" Mr.. Bryan said without tn.
slightest hesitation. The people are with
US this year. and they are In sympathy
with the principles which shall b. EN-
bodied in the Kansas City platform. ami
which represent the feelings OF the great
mass Of American people"
Why do you think sO?'
why do / think sO2 Because every
principle of the Democratic party Il a
positive principle. more positive than was
the declaration Ct the Republican party
in 1896 and while my party has grown all
the while frmer in its adherence 10 prin-
ciple and positive declaration, the Repub-
ncan party is 'trekking in just the "ppo-
site direction; ii is less positive and Is
adherence to its heretofore fixed deciara-
tiOn Of faith Is now quite disregarded.'
What is your view OF the Philippine
war;
1T Is exactly what II has been ever
since the Filipinos were denied the right
OF free government. / believe that the
Republicans are wrong because they have
taken the God-given right OF liberty and
government away from a people who
have been fighting for IL for years, and
are so determined that they are perfectly
willing to sacrifice themselves 10 the lat
man in order 20 secure IT, This will D.
the position Of the Democratic party mp.
on this question.
imperialism always means transgres-
sion upon some one. Neither our govern
nent nor that OF any other country can
sweep away the sovereignty Of con
quered people and substitute It's own SOW

Il think that Ohio b. much more likely

NOT IN DOUBT.
sin Every Election since 1896 Kansas Has
shown IL stands Unmistakably."

From the 81 Louis Gobe-Democrat.
Gen. Grosvenor has dipped considerably
into political prediction and, unlike many
prophets who get down to figures, has
maintained 4 reputation for making ac-
curate forecasts. Assuming that Bryan
will be the Democratic nominee, Gen.
GTOsvenOr estimates a majority OF eighty
six electoral votes against the POpocrat
candidate, leaving Kansas and Delaware
in the doubtful list. Kansas will prompt
ly and emphaticdlly rise to object. 1t can
give figures that are convincing. The
State elected a Republican governor in
1896 by 1892 TO 154, 15S, d plurality of l5,-
lSi. The Republicans cast 51.S0 per cent.
Of the entire vote. Moreover, Kansas
Republicans in the same year made re-
markabie gain in Congressman, consisting
Of no less than five seats in a total Of
eight. If Gen. Grosvenor will cast mis-
eye over the Kansas delegation in the
body of which he is a member, and note
the seven Republicans and one PopuIist
against the two Republicans and six Pop
ulists of the preceding Congress, he ought
in justice TO explain where he finds any
thing doubtful about Kansas.
The greatest political achievement OF
the year 1898 was the election of a Re
publican House. giving the party full con-
troll. Kansas contributed more to this re
suit than any other State. As 1t gave
also handsome majority as well as plu-
rality to Gov. Stanley, it is clearly entitled
to a place of honor in the Republican CO..
umn. In every election since 1896 Kansas
has shown where it stands Enthusiastically.
There was a time when some of its Cit-
zeHs honestly thought that silver govern
Cd prices and that free coinage was es-
sential to u return OF good times. No one
holds that opinion now. As for new ques
tiOns of the day Kansas does not stand
with Bryan. II is not in favor of giving
up the Philippines nor of turning over the
islands to the ladrOnes, Gen. Grosvenor
ought to define the grounds upon which
he considers Kansas doubtful. The at
tempt will result in an offer of amends to
q great. prosperous, expansive, Repub

yindicated to-day in the Republican State
convention. With two exceptions the
State ticket was nominated by acclama-
tion.
The contest over delegates-at-large CEN
tering in the fight made on United States
Senator ThurstOn, caused intense excite
ment while the roll was being called
But when the result Of the balloting
showed that both the Senator and Editor
ROsewater. who headed the anti-Thurston
movement had been elected. the cOnven-
ton gave itself up to the widest Of
cheering.
No nominations i0r delegates-at-large
were made in the formal way, but Adams,
the first county called. started the list
with the names of Brown, Ehrhardt, Nc
Clay. and ROsewater. Antelope County
followed. adding the name of Senator
Thurston. The roll call was followed
with interest by the 1,O33 delegates and
3.OG0 spectators present. 1t was so close
that the result was in doubt almost to
the last moment. When the secretary
announced the totals. the conVfntlOn
broke loose and cheered. Calls for Sena-
tor ThurstOn, who was seated on the plat
form, were repeated with growing energy,
until. finally, the four successful ones
mounted the stage and bowed their
thanks. A speech was demanded from
the Senator, but he did not avail himself
Of the opportunity
After the other nominations Chairman
John l.. Webster. from the Committee on
Resolutions, laid his report before the
House Its reading was loudly applauded,
and the report was unanimously adopted.
The declarations against trusts and the
laudatiOn of the national administration
seemed to be especially pleasant to the
delegates.
Following is an abstract of the platform
as adopted:
