portant than the welfare or happiness of
 single generation.'
 The hall in which was assembled the Na-
 tional Association of Democratic Clubs was
 thronged with people during the after
 noon, probably 5000 being present, but as
 the hour approached for the advent of
 MT. Bryan at 4 o'clock the aisles were
 filled and the hall thronged almost to suI-
 location. After Adlai Stevenson had con
 cluded James R. Sovereign, ex-grand mas
 ter workman of the Knights of Labor,
 spoke, dealing with the workingman from
 a political standpoint. He said labor is
 the foundation of liberty in all the world
 MT. Sovereign was followed by Bishop
 J. Milton Turner, minister to Liberia un-
 der Grants administration, who spoke
 briefly. and in part as follows:
 'T wish to make this attestation on De-
 half of the class with whom I have my particular Identity in the United States. A great many of my race who formed the
 majority of the negro population or the United States twenty-five years ago nave
 already been promoted and have gone 10 their good Christian fathers, but the boys are coming forth in teeming hundreds and thousands from that palladium and sa1e- guard of American institutions, the pupnc scho@ system of our country, ana uhnNe Uncld Tom and Aunt Sally, they are doing theirsown thinking like other young Amer icans for themselves. It may not be amlss nnon this distinguished occasion for me to talk to this dignified and highly intelligent audience, and ask them to witness the fac' that if there be an American who IS 3 natriof and whose feet tread the solI or our country. the negro people are among that class. ,,,..oa eve come with a fresh born disinteresteo natriotism to put forth our might at this time in the states of Indiana, ohio, illinois, New Work and New Jersey and other | states where we have been making the | Presidents for the last twenty-five or th1r- 1 ty years and we think this time through our boys we will be able to make up quota for the election of William Jennings Bryan and that we will elect this ticket
 without any possibility of Mckinley de- feating it."
 Ovation for Bryan
 As Bishop Turner concluded MT Bryan appeared upon the platform. There was a wild shout of greeting and this soon devei- oped into demonstration which continued for about six minutes until, indeed, there | was a call for cessation from MT. Bryan | himself. The speech was hberally applaud | ed throughout and when 1t was concluded | there was a rush to the stage on the part l of those in the audience who wished to | shake hands with him. He, however, l avoided this demonstration and soon found 1 his way back to his hotel.
 The concluding session of the convention | saw a densely packed hall and rampant | enthusiasm. Governor McMillan of Ten nessee called the meeting to order at | o'clock and introduced Hon. Bourke Cock | ran who, was received with great applause. | MT. Cochran devoted his speech to imper- | ialism.
 l At Ahe conclusion of MT. Cockran's ad- | dresss at 1O:10 D. m., the convention ad- 1 jouned sine die.
