on the Platforn. ss
Lincoln, Neb., July 6.-The news Of tho
action Of the Kansas, City convention on
the platform gave Mr.. Bryan the best Of
satisfaction: When asked for statement,
Mr. Bryan gave. out the following:
II am very much, gratified to learn Of
the adoption Of a platform which is clear
and explicit on every question.
1.-THE controversy over the silver plank
was not q controversy between men who
differed In principle, but rather difference
Of opinion as to the best method of stat
INK the question. II We only had demo-
Gratis to deal with a simple reanirmation
would have been sufficient. But we have
to do with the republicans as well as demo-
Gratis, and some Of the republicans would
misconstrue reah1rmation and endeavor
to twist it into an evasion or abandonment
of the silver question.
"Our appeal is to the patriotism and con-
science Of the people, and we must take
them into our confidence II we expect them
to have confidence In US. Our platform
deals honestly and .fearlessly with every
question before the public, and since we
have nothing to explain we can spend all
our time I'm assaults upon republican poli-
cies. The industrial trusts have alarmed
many who were not with us In our fight
against the money trust I'm 1886. We shall
not disappoint them; we shall not cease our
efforts until every private monopoly is de-
"Imperialisma appeals to many as the most
dangerous Of the evils now menacing our
country. It involves not only change
in our ideas Of government. but a return
to the militarism of the old world. No
matter how many differ as to the relative
importance Of the question now before the
country, everyone must recognize that an
economic evil can be corrected more easily
than one which attacks the foundations Of
government. III we adhere to the principle
| that government is thing made by the
people for themselves, the people can in
time remedy every wrong, but II that doc
trine is once surrendered the people ara
powerless to redress any grievances. The
six and one-half millions who supported
| the Chicago platform in 1896 stand like a
solid wall against the trusts and against
Imperialism. If ten per cent. of those who.
by voting the republican ticket brought
the present dangers upon the country will
| join with US this nation will once more be-
come the champion of liberty and an in
spiration to the oppressed everywhere"

A number Of favorite sons also were
placed in nomination, Maryland bringing

North Carolina nominating Col. Julian

the seconding speeches. many Of them
loting began. AZ the roll was about to be
called Mr.. Lewis appeared on the platform
and In few well-chosen words withdrew
from the contest.
The Balloting.
The vote was followed with intense in
terest, for when Alabama announced three
for Stevenson and 10 for Hill it looked as
though a close and exciting contest was
to occur. But it was soon evident that
Stevenson had strong lead. At the close
of the call he had 559k votes. which, how
ever. was not enough to nominate. the
requisite two-thirds being GA. Hill had re-
ceived 200 votes and Towne S9h. But before
SAS announcement VI TIC result d StEOA6-
lunged delegate from Tennessee stood on
his chair and announced: Tennessee
changes her "a votes from Hill to Steven
son."
Stevenson Nominated.
That started the tide irresistibly toward
Stevenson. From every quarter of the hall
came demands for recognition. Alabama
changed to Stevenson; California did the
same. North Carolina changed from Carr
to- Stevenson. Even New York finally and
reluctantly announced its change from Hill
to Stevenson. That ended 1t. Stevenson's 8
nomination was assured, although for some
time longer the various states continued to
record their changes from Towne and 9TH
er candidates to Stevenson. In the end
the nomination was made unanimous. Its
announcement was greeted with enthusi-
astic approval, and again the state stand
ards and banners were borne about the
building in tribute to the party nominee.
The usual formal resolutions Of thanks
to Kansas City and to the officers of the
convention were adopted amid the great
est confusion and then, at 1921, on mo-
tion Of Chairman Jones. the national
democratic convention of 1900 adjourned.

ifestly insincere and deceptive. This pro-
fession is contradicted by the avowed pol
Icy Of that party in opposition to the spirit
Of the Monroe doctrine to acquire and hold
sovereignty over large areas of territory
and large numbers of people in the eastern
hemisphere. We insist on the strict MAIN
tenance of the Monroe doctrine and in all
its integrity, both in letter and in spirit,
as necessary to prevent the extension of
European authority on this continent and
as essential to our supremacy in American
affairs. At the same time we declare that
no American people shall ever be held by
force In unwilling subjection to European
authority.
Militarism Opposed.
We oppose militarism. It means con-
quest abroad and intimidation and oppres-
sion at home. 1t means the strong arm
which has ever been fatal to free institu-
tons. It is what millions Of our citizens
have fed from in Europe. It will impose
upon our peace-loving people a large
standing army and unnecessary burden Of
taxation and constant menace to their
liberties. A small standing army and a
well-disciplined state militia are amply
sufficient in time of peace. This republic
has no place for vast military service and
conscription. When the nation is in danger

defender. The national guard of the Unit

War On Monopolles and Trusts.
2. Private monopolies are ,indefensible and
1ntolerable. They destroy competition,
control the price Of all material, and Of the
dnished product, thus robbing both pro-
ducer and consumer. They lessen the en-
ployment Of labor, and arbitrarily fix the
terms and conditions thereof, and deprive
individual, energy and small capital Of
their opportunity for betterment. They
are the most efficient means yet devised
for appropriating the fruits Of industry to

Lo! BENJAMIN HARRISON.

Ne one had expected that the former
president and distinguished son of In
diana would again come into mems
minds as a possible candidate for the
presidency. He is now 67 years old, a
fact which alone in popular opinion
would go far to debar him from further
service in the presidential office. At
20 he would be only half through with
his term of office, assuming that he was
seated in March, 1901
1t is a striking circumstance, howev-
er, that General Harrison has suddenly
sprung into prominence because of his
outspoken condemnation of the Porto
Rican bill. The politicians note, too,
that the storm center of the Republican
revolt on this question is Indiana,
whose Republican and Independent
press is solidly and determinedly for
free trade with the island They are
also interested in the reported declara-
ton of sympathy for the Beers which
emanated this week from the general.
TWO public announcements in one week
on questions of living interest from a
man who has been as silent as a sphinx
for the past two years is enough to
excite the iveliest discussion, even in
the sacrosanct circle Of the presidential
syndicate. 1t is being said that Har-
rlson is never impulsive, and seldom
speaks without cool elaboration. A
Republican congressman is quoted as
saving of General Harrison: "Thous-
ands of Republicans in the state are
talking about his backbone with as
much reverence as the backbone of
Mr.. Cleveland was formerly referred
to by Democrats. The need of such a
backbone has been felt for some
months. Carry his own state? I have
no doubt of 1t if he really cares to
try it once more in the White House :"
Our own view is that General Harri-
son has finally let loose his opinions
from no desire to enter politics again,
but from the same supreme and uncon-
trolable disgust which has been mani
tested by thousands of good Republi-
cans throughout the country. His oppo-
sition to the present tendencies at
Washington was announced at the psy-
Geological moment, and his prominence
as a Republican naturally crystalized
the Mckinley sentiment about his
name. The mere fact that General
Harrison has now been mentioned for
the next Republican nomination ought
at least to have a SOLDERING effect upon
the men in power-Springfield Repub-

YICTORTA,s VISIT.

1t is rather late in the reign of Vic
toria to make another visit to Ireland,
where she has spent a grand total of II
days thus far in the So years since her
coronation. The reason for this visit
is eagerly sought, but nothing tremeh-
dous in international significance can
be attached to it. The queen probably
hopes to stimulate Irish loyalty by her
venerable presence after an absence of
about 40 years from the Island, and, at
the same time, express her appreciation
for the work of Irish soldiers in the
war. If she can sweeten the feeling
between Irish and English by the trip,
it will be greatly to her credit.-Spring-
