| uO euiN va VI TIC Ndlio ud
Convention was interesting in its prt
ceedlngs. and marked by the sam
enthusiastic crowds of men and won
en- il attendance as the two first day.
and the contest for the vice president
ial nomination was at times exciting
and notably in the efforts to force ex
Governor Hill to take second plac
on the ticket; but he resisted appeal
that would have tempted the accept
ance of almost any man. Governo
Hill. however, was FIRM in his refus
al as adamant. Had he signlfied
willingness to accept, or even showr
a wavering purpose, he would hav,
swept the convention, and been tn,
nominee.
There was only one ballot for vict
president, and the tide was clearly
with ex-Vice President Adlai E.
Stevenson, of Illinois, from the start
when he was nominated by the State
of Illinois and the nomination sec.
onded by State after State. Exon
gresham Towne, nominated by the
Populists and urged on the Demo.
cratic convention by the Populist
and Silver Republican committees,
had very earnest following from the
West, but it was not so numerous as
expected.
We believe no stronger nomination
could have been made, and under
existing circumstances it is to be
preferred to that OF either Governor
Hill or Mr.. Towne. 1t was not nec-
essary to heal any convention sores.
1t represents no factional defeat OF
triumph. 1t stands for no machine
or political work. 1t was a spontan-
eous tribute to the worth of man, his
services for the Democratic party,
his eminent fitness for all the duties
and possibilities Of the office.
Mr.. Steveson did not 60 near the
convention, but during its sessions
went on visit to Minnesota, leaving
the question Of his candidacy entirely
within the discretion of the Illinois
delegation. He has filled important
public positions in bis own State, SER
we'd several terms in the popular
branch of congress, and in 1892 chos-
en- vice president on the ticket with
Grover Cleveland. He presided
over the Senate for four years with
distinguished ability, courtesy and
appreciation of the limitations of the
offlce. lie was one OF the most pop
ular OF our recent vice presidents.
The nomination completed the
work of the Kansas City convention,
which passes into history as one of
the most striking and interesting and
on the whole harmonious OF our Nat
onal conventions. Its great work
lies in its purpose to re-establish and
maintain the principles of constitu-
-ional liberty wherever the American
lag floats, We believe it has given
an eternal quietus in
his land. Militarism will go with
t. And we hope these great achieve
nents will be followed by the re-
iteration of industrial and CONNER
'iaI freedom BY the abolition of the
trust system.
