CHEER PARTY CHIEFS.
Enthusiasm Mounts High at the Con-
vention of Democratic Clubs.

BOurke Cochran and the other speakers
Of the day at the convention of the Ma
tiOnal Association of Democratic Clubs
at Indianapolis. The big Tomlinson hall
auditorium contained large audiences at
all the sessions, but in the afternoon,
when Mr.. Bryan was to speak, the at
tendance was nOticcably larger. When
the presidential candidate appeared on
the platform he faced sea of people.
Every seat was occupied. the aisles were
crowded and the hall was thronged as
it probably never was before. Probably
5000 to 1000 persons We're present and
only the limits of accommodation held the
attendance to that number.
The audience was as enthusiastic as it
was large, and cheers at frequent inter
walls compelled the speakers to pause I'M
I'll the hall became quiet enough TO per-
nit them to proceed. The managers of
the association express themselves as
much pleased with the success of the In
dianapolis meeting. and express the opin-
ion that the cause of Democracy will be
advanced as one result of the convention.
MIR. Bryan's address was an extended
one. In opening he expressed his appre-
citation of the work being done by the
association and President Hearst. saying
that he believed in the policy of forming
such clubs and that the party needed
them. The work of Democracy. being
of the people, must he done by the people,
he said. Then he turned to the great is
sues of the campaign. On the subject of
the administration policy in the Philip
pines he said that he could not better de-
scribe its complete surrender to the doc
trines that underlie monarchies and en-
pires and despOtisms than to mention the
fact that when king dies Republican
President can send a message OF condo
lence. but that when two republics ex-
pire no Republican sheds tear.
Gov. McNIillin of Tennessee made
brief address on the work that faced the
clubs and was followed by Lewis G. Ste
venson of Bloomington, ILL.,, son of Adlai
+. Stevenson, whose speech treated Of
the issue of Imperialism. Augustus
Thomas of New York also spoke briefly
