Demonstration For Hill a Remark
able Event.
This Outdone by Scenes When Bryan's
Name Was Mentioned As Night.

Kansas City, Mo-, July 4.--Anid scenes
of tumultuous enthusiasm beftting such
an event and such day, the Democratic
national convention began its sessions to-
day. But after sitting until a late hour
tonight, the expected climax of the day
the nomination of William j. Bryan as
the Democratic candidate for President
has failed of realization and all of the
larger business of the convention awaits
the completion Of the platform. AS a
spectacular event, however, the conven-
ton has fulfilled the hopes of the most
fervid party man for the vast assem-
blage of delegates and spectators was
twice swept with whirlwind demonstra-
tions, first for the leader who is about to
be placed in nomination, and then for
that other champion of Democracy,
David B. Hill. But in actual accom-
plishmsnt the days work is confined to
organization with the speeches Of tenn
porary chairman, Gov. Thomas of Colora-
do, and of the permanent chairman, Hon.
James D. Richardson. the appointment
of the various committees and the de-
tailed preparations for the more serious
work yet in store.
1t was an inspiring scene that Chair
man Jones looked out upon when at
noon, after beating tattoo with his
gavel, he stilled the tumult and declared
the convention open. About him were
fully 25, 600 people, rising tier on tier like
the spectacle in some vast coliseum,
awaiting the appearance of the alternates
of the party, while on either side
stretched away the rows of desks accom-
modating representatives of the press
from every section of the country.
Above and on all sides was a gorgeous
sunburst of color, huge flags in rosettes
and graceful fanshapes, bunting looped
and IN long streamers, notices and coats
of arms of many states mingling this
spread of color with the
bright summer hats and dresses of the
many women present. But it was clear
" not a gathering alone of wealth and
fashion. The bronzed faces of many of

the men, their coarse shirts, collarless
and scarhess, marked them as from the
soil With hardly an exception they took
off their coats and sat shirt-sleeved.
Many of the women were in cambrics
and ginghams. It was a gathering none
the less inspired with the patriotic spirit
of the day which found constant express
sion in wild hurrahs at every sound of
''Dix1e' or America.
In the body of delegates were the best
known men of the party many of them
of national reputation. Immediately in
front sat Gov John Walter Smith OF
Maryland and his delegation Alongside
them was that notable New York trio,
Croker, Murphy and Van Wcyk To the
right was the classic face of Daniels OF
Virginia, while back of him Arthur
Sewall of Maine and Senator White of
California. To the left, at the head of
the Massachusetts, delegation, was George
Fred Williams Near him sat Gov. Nc
MILAN of Tennessee, and the tall, gaunt,
Clay like figure of Richardson, soon to be
temporary chairman of the convention.
With the Kentuekians sat their youth
full governor, Beckham, accompanied by
Senator Blackburn and ex-Gov. Nc
Creary. Senator Hill was late to come
upon the scene. The great audience had
bee n eagerly awaiting him and his en-
trance was the signal for the first real
ovation Of the day. He found no place
reserved among the Crocker- Murphy dig
natarles in the fore front of the delega-
ton and contented himself with a seat
far in the rear.
Sitting with the Mississippi delega-
ton was white-haired lady alternate,
Mrs. w. J. Brown of that state, and
further back sat Mrs. j. A. Cohn, an
other lady alternate from Salt Lake City.
The early proceedings of the conven-
tion were marked by two brilliant, but
rather ill-timed speeches, one of welcome
from the mayor of the city and the other
from Gov. Thomas of Colora 10, assuming
the duties of temporary chairman. But
the delegates fretted during these deliv-

About 10 others, spectators and chill

some hurt by the explosion, some bruised
in the panic.
A tank car containing 5000 gallons of
oil was on the yard track for shipment.
Engine 26, with VIII Carr as engineer
and George Hupp as fireman, was pulling
a train of fast freight No. 35, south
bound. Engineer Carr saw that the main
track was open and came slowly toward
the yards. The switch was open and the
train ran into the side track, colliding
with the tank car The collision caused
a hole to be bored into the top part of
the tank and the oil ignited. Pouring 6
water on it it had no effect.
While some of the men were grouped
near the tank, an explosion occurred. Tt
came with flash of tire and deafen-
ing report. Some people who were stand
ing near were not affected by it. These
saw the bodies of men flying in the air
and saw others knocked to the ground by
the conoussion. The tank had parted.
Those persons killed were struck by the
flying end of the tank.

the question of the monetary ratio which
has been brewing ever since the delegates
to the convention began to assemble
found expression in the committee on
resolutions when it assembled today.
The committee was called together SOON
after the first adjournment of the conyen-
tion but then only elected it's officers, adj
journing to meet again at $3.50 D. nj.
Senator Jones of Arkansas, was unani-
mously chosen chairman and Mr. MetcaIf
OF Nebraska secretary. When the COM
mittee reassembled, Mr.. MetcaIf presented
the draft of platform covering all ques-
tions of public interest which draft al
the members accepted as Mr.. Bryan's
expression upon this question. Mr..
Girard of Georgia also presented a pIat-
form as did Mr.. Van Wyck Of New York.
All these documents took practically the
same ground upon all questions except
that of finances. Mr.. Metcalf's decIara-
tion was for the re-affirmation of the
Chicago platform in letter and spirit and
it emphasized and reiterated specifically
the declaration for the free coinage of
silver at the ratio of 16 to = Both the
other drafts simply reafirmed the Chic
ago platform without reference to the
ratios The reading OF Mr.. Van WycLss
document brought Mr.. Ball Of Texas to
his feet with the suggestion that the
financial question should be taken up
and passed upon. He said it was APP
parent to all that there was no division

SUPPLY AND DEMAND
Govern Prices "a Rule That VIII Certainly
Always Apply.
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
Mankato, Mimi, Oct. 16.-At Was
eau, Mimi, Senator Hanna was inter-
rupted several times with questions
about trusts. He denied there is any
coal or wire nail trust, but admitted
with laughter that there is an ice
trust.
"The decline in wire nails and ev-
erything else that the farmer buys is
over so per cent already said Hanna.
Things will come down to their nor
NAL condition and be regulated by
supply and demand, just as all busi-
ness is regulated. You can no more in
terfere with the laws that govern
trade than you can with the laws that
govern nature itself. Every commod-
ity manufactured in this country is
made by the highest-priced labor in
the world. The laboring man, If
wire nails are high, gets his share of
the profits"

New York, Oct. 16.--A dinner was
rendered Mr.. Bryan at the Hoffman
House at $50 p. m. Fifty covers were
laid and the room was beautifully dec
GRATED. Bryan's portrait, framed in
a silk American flag, was just behind
the chair reserved for Mayor Van
Wyck, the presiding officer.
The service was the best the Hoff-
man House could provide. On either
side of VanWyck, two and two, were
special chairs, on which sat Col. Bryan
and Richard Croker, Adlai Stevenson
and VIM. R. Hearst. When all were
seated, Col. Bryan was between Croker
and Van Wyck. The other guests at

Editor Hosick, of the Mineral City,
Pointer, says: Political ana factional
strife has run riot in this country from
the beginning. From Washington to
Mckinley, inclusive, there never has
been a good president elected in the
eyes of all the people. Washington
was slave driver" land grabber"
and "a tyrant;" Jefferson and Jackson
were anything but good men; "Old
Abe" Lincoln was a ral splitter and a
"black hearted Aboltionist;" Grant
was a tanner and a bloody butcher; "
Garfield was too mean to live, and a
poor, self-sacrificing anarchist was
obliged to kill him to save the country.
Grover Cleveland was an INSCRIPTIONS
hog" and Mckinley is the arch enc
my of his country, an imperialistic
vampire who wipes his feet on the
Constitution of the United States and
tramples the Declaration of Independ-
ence in the dust. Strange isn't 1t, that
such pernicious characters continually
should be elevated to the presidential
throne? We rather would be the half
starved editor of The Hoop Pole Coun-
ty Wallpaper than the ignominous
President of the United States.

Some Observations.

"Say, did you ever notice how great
an interest most people take in reading
tombstone epitaphs?" asked High
School girl after visiting the beauti-
full Oak Grove Cemetery few days
ago. 'Tis fact that nearly everyone
likes TO read them, but the tombstones
erected nowadays do not bear such
interesting inscriptions as the older
ones do The Mound Cemetery of
this place contains some of the most
interesting epitaphs of any cemetery
in America. However, they are all
quite familiar to the people of this
city.
