cate Of the campaign of 1895. It is not
the intention of Mr.. Mckinley to make
speeches to delegates who may visit
Canton during the summer and fall
even if he should remain here all the
time. The latter will be SO much occu-
pied with public business that he will
have but little time to devote to the
campaign. He says his position is much
different than four years ago. Then he
was private citizen, and as the candi.
date of his party felt justified in taking
the active part he did in the campaign.
Now he is president of the whole peo.

Platform Makes Imperialism the Domi-
nant 1ssuc.
KANSAS CRY, July 6.-The Demo-
cratic national convention by unani-
NOUS vote, nominated William Jen.
nings Bryan Of Nebraska for president.
Mr.: Bryan was placed In nomination
by Judge Oldham Of Nebraska and ex-
Senator Hill Of New York was among
those who made speeches seconding
the nomination.
For vice president Adlai E. Steven
son was nominated on tie first ballot.
He received but E501s votes, but before
tho result was announced several states
changed to him and he secured more
than the necessary two.thirds. Hill
received 200 votes and Towne 801a.
Hill would probably have secured the
place had he not taken the platform
and positively refused to accept.
The main fight Of the convention was
over the platform, but this was carried
on before the resolutions committee and
was not taken up on the floor of the
convention. The conservative element
favored simple declaration reaff1rming
the Chicago platform but tho silver
men refused to give in and carried
their point by very small majority.
However, they yielded a point to the
conservatives by making Imperialism
the dominant issue of the campaign.
Thomas for Temporary Chairman.
The first days work Of the oonven.
ton was coufued to organization, the
failure Of tho committee on resolutions
to agree on platform preventing the
intended nomination Of Mr.. Bryan on
independence day. Governor Thomas
Of Colorado was selected for temporary
chairman at tho first session, which
was notable for spectacular demon
stration in honor Of David 3. Hill.
After tho naming Of committees a re-
cess was taken until 4 p. m.
The afternoon session was brief and
fruitless but ut the evening session tho
committees on CREDENTIALS and perma-
nent organization reported, the lattor
naming Congressman Richardson of
Tennessee for permanent chairman. In
his speech Mr.. Richardson paid glow
ing tribute to Mr.. Bryan anda most re.
markable demonstration in honor of
the Nebraskan followed, exceeding that
historic event enacted in Chicago four
years ago.
Another Day of Waiting.
The second day of tho convention was
devoted to speeohmaling, tho commit
tee Oh resolutions not being ready to
report until late in the afternoon.
Following tho adoption Of the plat.
form Mr.. Bryan was placed in nomina-
tion for the presidency and the unani.
nous vote of the convention was cast
in his favor. A frenzied demonstra.
ton lasting II minutes followed and
the convention adjourned, leaving the
selection of vice president for the
third days session.
The nominations for vice president
were Adlai E. Stevenson Of Illinois,
Charles A. Towne Of Minnesota, David
B. Hill of New York, Governor Smith
of Maryland, A. w. Patrick Of Ohio,
and Julian Carr of North Carolina.
The vote resulted: Stevenson 559h,
Hill 200, Towne 80H, Patrick 46, Carr
%, Smith 10. Before the vote was an
nounced changes in favor Of Stevenson
were made SO rapidly that the nomina-
ton was made unanimous.

TlEN TSIN BOMBARDMENT.
Continued Incessantly for tho Three Days
Ending July 8.

BERLIN, July 12.-Tho German con-
sui at Tien Tsin cables that tho foreign
settlements were continually bonn
barded by the Chinese from July to
July s. On July 6 1900 Boxers at.
tackled the French settlement, and were
routed by tho Russians. The British
and japanese forces, July 2, bombarded
the Chinese batteries. Toward evening
Chinese shells penetrated the roof Of
the German consulate and caused an
outbreak of fire, which was extin-
guished after slight damage had been
done. On July z tho Poi Ping sailed
for Taku with the German wounded.
River communication between Tien
Tsin and Taku has been safe since the
Chinese fort midway between the two
towns was captured. The railroad
from Tong Ku has been repaired to
within three miles of Tien Tsin.
Nearly all the families of foreigners
left Tien Tsin for Taku July 4.

Advance Is Possible Be-

AS BAD AS 1T CAN WELL BE
Another Disaster Is Expected
Unless Relief Reaches
Tien Tsln.
Foreign Troops Working Well
Together but Commander
Is Needed.

LONDON, July 12.-The Chinese situa.
sion again bears most ominous aspect.
Eighteen days ago Sir Robert Hart dis
patched his last message declaring that
tho situation was desperate, and since
then no word has come from Europeans
in Pekin.
According to The Daily Nails shang-
hal correspondent. Ii Hung Chang has
received an imperial decree ordering
his immediate departure for Pekin,
probably to break the news Of tho
Pekin tragedy to the European powers
and in his usual role Of negotiator with
Europe in different matters, to act as
mediator and to avort the vengeance Of
tho powers. To add 70 tho grimness Of
this suggestion, oil advices from Ten
Tsin tend to confirm the reports Of the
perilous conditions of the allied forces
and belle tho optimistic Chinese rumors.
Unless reinforcements speedily reach
Tion Tsin another disaster may be
expected.
Forward Movement Impossible.
The Daily Nails Tien Tsin corre-
spondont, telegraphing on July 5, says:
"The situation is about as bad as it can
well be. I only trust that we shall not
soon want rolioving ourselves. A for.
ward movement is impossible. From
10000 to 10000 troops are wanted and
there arc only 10000 here. The foreign
troops are working we'll together, but
it is inconvenient that there is no su-
preme commander. In some quarters
the feeling is let us rescue Pekin and
then clear out in favor Of Russia. 4"
Other Tien Tsin correspondents say
that no advance is possible until Sept. 1
and explanations arc being asked by
the papers here of the tardy action Of
Japan in sending troops, since it is
known that sho was ready and willing
to send them and that Russia raised no
objection to her doing SO. It is limited
that difficulty arose as to the manner
in which Japan was to be recouped for
her heavy outlay. Rumors are current
that Japan demanded the cession of q
