his address he received the closest atten-
ton of the convention.
Mr.. Oldham said in part:
Mr.. Chairman:
Much of the history of this republic
shall be either made or marred by the
action of this convention. There Is no
greater honor reserved for a citizen of
these United States than to become the
| standard bearer of the Democratic party.
| This high distinction must not be I'M
| worthily bestowed. We must seek a
leader whose public and private life most
nearly excmplifies his partys highest
| ideals; who stands unqualifiedly pledged
to every issue we declare; who will carry
the standard we place in his hands. He
must be able to distinguish between
Democratic expansion and Republican
| Imperialism.
| With the issues now clearly drawn. no
doubt remains as to the name of our can
didate. On that question we are a re-
united Democracy.
Already the worthy allies, differing
from us rather in name than faith, have
shouted for our gallant leader again and
every state and territory has instructed
its delegates to this convention to vote
for him here.
So it only remains for Nebraska to pro-
nounce the name that has been Numbered
forth from the foot of Bunker Hill and
echoes back from Sierras sunset slope
and that reverberates among the pine
clad, snow-capped hills of the North and
rises up from the slumbering flower
scented savannahs of the South, and tina,
name is the name of VIM. Jennings
| Bryan. her best-beloved son.
He caught the fancy of the conven-
ton by his statement that the gov
eminent of this country is bounded
on the north by the constitution, on
the east by the Monroe doctrine, on
the south by the Declaration of Inde-
pendence and on the west by the Ten
Commandments"
AS he approached the close of his ad-
dress. he raised both hands high over
his head and spoke slowly: And
that man is - William - J. -
Bryan he concluded. bringing his
hands lower with each word until the
last had been uttered, when he
brought them up with a sweep, but
quicker than his motion was the an
swering cheer that swept across the
convention. 1t was a simultaneous
roar from all parts of the hall.
Whatever may have been the diff
ference of delegates over the platform
they seemed to have forgotten them
and all were as one in favor of the
man. New York We'd with Nebraska
and Kansas in venting its enthusiasm
Round the hall started the Nebraska
men with their huge banner. and
catching up their state emblems the
other delegations took up the march
waving flags and hats and cheering al
the top of their voices. 1t was a dem
onstration fully equal in fervOr to any
thing that had preceded yesterday OF
today when the platform was read.
When the enthusiasm had run for
1872 minutes. Chairman Richardson
commenced to pound vigorously for
order. His voice was lost beyond ali
power of hearing for several minutes
and it was not until 81 minutes had
elapsed from the instant that Mr. old
ham had mentioned the word Bryan
that the cheering had subsidized and the
convention was in order once more.
