The New York Sun, in generous
moment, pays the following tribute to
William +. Bryan:
sThe Bryan Of 1900 stands before the
people as a man with the bOIdness Of
honest convictions. The sincerity and
courage OF such an attitude are admir-
able, however dePIorable the convic-
tions may be. He is not a gutter. The
American people hate q CUTTERS We
have had the testimony OF Hon. Samuel
Fessenden that the Almighty hates q
gutter, too.
"Mr. Bryan has resisted TO the pres
ent time ali the efforts Of the time
servers to make him an scCompliee in
the suppression OF the main issue
which bore him upward to the com
handing position he occupies in his
party's councils. He is using his IN
equaIed power to hold the democracy
to its declared creed, Notwithstanding
the temptations Of supposed expe-
diency.
at is q somewhat curious cireum-
stance that Mr.. Bryan should prove to
be more staIwart for free silver than
Mr.. Cleveland was for tariff reform.
Indeed, Bryan is showing in 1900
that he really possesses the moral
stamina and unyieIding adherence to
principle which the mugwUmps Of ten
or a dozen years ago thought they had
discovered and chiefly admired in their
idealized prophet.
an the case Of Mr.. Bryan the part Of
honesty is likewise the part Of pOliti-
cal wisdom. He has been urged to
ALLEVIATE several millions of voters for
the sake of pleasing few hundreds of
thousands"

SILVER REPUBLICANS

At a Meeting in Kansas City Issue an
Address to the Party.
The Silver Republican party, by its
executive committee, has issued an ad.
dress to the silver Republicans of the
United States, saying, among other
things:
"The Democratic candidate for pres.
ident is ours, our convention named
him. Upon the fundamental PROPOSE
tions above stated, we are one with the
Democrats and Peoples party. Our
common candidate for president is
enlisted, heart and soul, in this great
cause. We know he has the high
courage of his convictions. His trl-
umph is necessary if we are to hand
down to our children and our chill
dren's children government founded
in the wisdom of the fathers, maintain
ed in the blood and treasure OF Its
citizens and perpetuated as priceless
heritage.
'Impelled by these considerations
YOUR national committee has deter
mined that its duty in this hour is to
indorse Hon. Adlai Stevenson as our
candidate for vice president, in order
that the opposition to tho gold stand
ard, trusts and monopolies, imperial
ism and all its attendant evils may
concentrate all its votes at the danger
points and accomplish the triumph OF
those principles so dear to US.
"It is but simple justice to say that
in taking this action, we are following
the advice of our distinguished leader,
Hon. Charles A. Towne.
stLet US express the hope that our
friends will lay aside whatever disap-
pointment they may feel and join in
united effort to secure the triumph OF
our principles at the coming election"

Dramatic Close Of the National
Democratic Convention at
Kansas City.
NOMINEE EX=YICE PRESIDENT
During the Last Cleveland Ad-
ministration--His Nomination
Was Made Unanimously.
Closing Scenes of the
Convention.

Hon. Adlai E. Stevenson, of Bloom
ington, ILL.,, who was vice president
during the last Cleveland administra-
tion, was Friday afternoon nominated
for vice president by the Democratic
national convention in session at Kan
sas City.
David B. Hill was placed in nomi-
nation by the New York delegation,
and his name called forth great
demonstration, but he quickly mount
ed the platform and declared that he
could not accept the nomination under
any consideration. His statement pre-
vented a threatened stampede in his
favor and the delegates began to rally
around the Illinois standard.
It developed from tho beginning
of the sessions that only the extreme
silver states showed much strength for
the Populist candidate, and Stevenson,
as a compromise, gained in strength
from the very minute the gavel fell.
Several states held hasty consulta-
tions and it was decided in the interest
Of harmony in the party to support the
Illinois candidate.
Hill, on Thursday, was an impossi-
bility and his boom was only begun
again by a conciliatory speech that
he made in the convention Thursday
night. It electrified the great audi
ence and Immediately the Hill boom
was again in the ascendency.
He declared then, however, that un-
der no consideration would he allow his
name to go before the convention. 1t
was placed before the convention with
out his consent and he quickly sent
word to the delegations rallying around
him that he would be forced to decline
if nominated, and begged that his
wishes be respected. When it devel-
oped before the roll call was half over
that the nomination of Stevenson was
a certainty, the states that had voted
for other candidates quickly changed
to the winner, and his nomination was
made unanimous.
THE cnos1Sa PROCEEDINGS.
An hour before the convention hall
was opened Friday morning dense
crowds were packed around the vari'
ous entrances and hupdreds more were
coming on every thoroughfare that
afforded access to the hall.
About 80 minutes after the doors
were opened the galleries were all oc-
cupied and still the crowds around the
entrance and in the streets had suffer
ed no diminution.
Immediately following the prayer
the call of states began for the pur-
pose of making nominations for the
vice presidency.
Great confusion prevailed and very
few of the delegates we're aware of
what was going on until Alabama and
Arkansas had been passed and Cali
fornia was called.
THE STAMPEDE TO STEVENSON.
When at last the nominating speeches
were ended the call of the roll began.
The early votes of significance were
Alabama's 19 for Hill, against 3 for
Stevenson; those Of Alaska, Arizona,
Arkansas, California, Colorado, Con-
necticut and Delaware, most OF whose
strength went to Stevenson.
Four for Hill from Florida called
forth another yell of applause.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1900-07-12
of the United States.

Hill, and echoed back from Sierra's
sunset slope, aud that reverberates
among the pine-clad snow-capped hills
of the north, and rises up from the
slumbering hower-scented savannahs
of the south; and that name is the
name of William Jennings Bryan, her
best loved son.
The nomination was seco nded by
David B. Hill. OF New York, E. B.
Perkins, of Dallas, Texas, Tenant
Lomax, of Alabama, W. B. Moore, OF
North Carolina, Senator Daniel, OF
Virginia, David Overmeyer, of Kansas,
W. c. Baker. of Ohio, Ex-Governor
Pattison, of Pennsylvania, Governor
Benton McMillin, of Tenn essee, and
others.
A ringing cheer followed the call of
ssHawaii," and when John b. Wise, OF
that delegation, rose the convention
demanded that he take the platform,
which he did amid great applause.
"Gentlemen of the convention" he
said, ssthe delegates of Hawaii bave
come 1000 miles to attend this con-
vention, and last night she cast the
winning vote for 16 to l in the COM
mittee meeting"
Mrs. Cohen, of Utah, came next and
was received with terrific applause.
She seconded the nomination OF Mr..
Brya,, in behalf of Utah, her speech
concluding the nominating speeches.
As the roll call proceeded the shouts
of approval of the unanimity of the
vote seemed to increase.
The list of states and territories was
completed with the calling Of the ter
ritory of Hawaii.
The announcement OF Chairman
Richardson that Mr.. Bryan had been
nominated for president Of the United
States was received with great ap-
plause.
As the people already were leaving
the hall, Chairman Richardson an
nounced at 1858 that the convention
was adjourned until 1890 o'clock Fri
day morning.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1900-07-12

Chairman Richardson called coz
vention to order at 11:03 Thursday
morning, and pending wait on report
of committee on resolutions, speech
making was the order.
At12:47 the convention adjourned
until $50.
It was not until 4 O'Clock, however,
that Chairman Richardson, turning
from q conference with Governor Nc
MILAN and Senator White, raped the
convention to order. The platform
committee, headed by Senator Jones,
D. J. Campeau, Senator Tillman and
Judge Van Wyck, had just pushed
their way through the dense throngs
and proceeding to the platform had
taken seats fanking the chairman. Mr..
Richardson appealed long and vainly
for order. The portly form of Senator
Jones, silver haired and serious, ad-
yanced to the front of the stage and
in q clear voice he announced that
Senator T1llman would read the docu-
ment.
A dramatic incident Of the day vas
presented when Webster Davis, of Mis-
souri,, until recently Republican. as
sistant secretary of the interior, made
announcement of his purpose to vote
for and support the Democratic nomi-
nee fer the presidency. The Davis
speech was the great surprise OF the
day. Nobody knew it was coming.
In announcing his intention of sup
porting the Democratic party and its
ticket, Mr.. Davis said with great en-
phasis:
.'I stand upon this platform and
shall support William J. Bryan"
As Mr.. Davis concluded the band
struck up 'sHail to the Chief" and
while it was rendering the air he held
an impromptu reception upon the
platform.
When few degrees Of the noise
had been silenced, he said:
teThe next business Of the conven-
tion is the nomination of candidate
for president of the United States. The
secretary will call the roll of states,
