Democratic national convention, and
finally sweet-voiced and pleasant

orded the nomination of Mr.. Bryan

the voting. State after state recorded
it's vote in behalf of the Nebraska can
dida'e, giving him the unanimous vote
of all the states and territories. The
convention then adjourned to 1880
o'clock Friday morning.
Next to the demonstration for the
party candidate, that greeting the an
nouncement that Imperialism was to
be the paramount issue of this cam
paign was the most spontaneous and
significant of the day.
Another stirring event of the day
was the appearance of Webster Davis,
formerly assistant secretary of the
interior, under Mr.. McKinley's admin
istration, in Il speech severely arraign-
ing the Republican party for its lack
of sympathy for the Beers. and for
mally announcing his allegiance to the
Democratic party.

and then for that other champion OF
Democracy, David B. Hill. But in
actual accomplishment the days work
was confined to organization with the
speeches of the temporary chairman,
Governor Thomas, of Colorado, and of
the permanent chairman, James D.
Richardson, the appointment of the
various committees and the detailed
preparations for the more serious
work yet in store.
1t was an inspiring scene that
Chairman Jones looked upon when, at
noon, after beating tattoo with his
gavel, he stilled the tumult and declared
the convention open. About him were
fully 10000 people, rising tier on tier,
like the spectators in some vast coils
cum, awaiting the appearance of the
alternates OF the party, while on either
side stretched away the rows of desks,
accommodating representatives of the
press from every section of the country.
Above and on all sides was gorgeous

settles and graceful fan-shaped bunting,

and coats-of-arms of the many states,
mingling this overhanging spread of
color with the bright summer hats and
dresses of the many women present.
In the body of delegates were the
best known men Of the party, many Of
them of national reputation. Senator
Hill was late to come upon the scene.
The great audience had been eagerly
awaiting him, and his entrance was
the signal for the first real ovation OF
the day. He found no place reserved
among the Croker-Murphy dignitaries
in the forefront Of the delegation, and
contented himself with seat far in
the rear.
The early proceedings of the con-
vention were marked by two brilliant
speeches, one of welcome from Mayor
Reed of Kansas City, and the other
from Governor Thomas, of Colorado,
on assuming the duties Of temporary
chairman. But the delegates fretted
during these deliveranees, and sought
for more exciting themes.
The first dramatic episode Of the day
occurred after Campau, of Michigan,
had secured the adoption of resolu-
ton for the reading of the Declaration
of Independence. AS the reading was
about to begin, two attendants pushed
up to the platform bearing a pedestal
and bust, both draped in the stars and
stripes. AS the orator raised his voice
for the first words of the immortal in
strument, the draperies were thrown
back, disclosing a splendid head Of
Bryan. The effect was electrical upon
the vast assemblage, which, up to that
moment, had neither heard the name
or seen the face Of their leader.
AS the massive features were recog-
nized yell went up which fairly shook
the steel Orders, and above the storm
family could be heard the strains of
the band which had broken out with
the national anthem. Men and women
were on their feet, waving handker-
chiefs, coats and fans, and joining in
the wild chorus.
The outburst of patriotism now
turned in new direction, and, during
a momentary pause in the proceedings,
the name of "Hill" was sounded. For
fully ten minutes the enthusiastic
demonstration proceeded, the chair
man battling vainly against it. Dele
gates stood on chairs and joined in the
demand and the senator was surround
ed by surging crowd of insistent men.
He smiled and shook his head through
out the demonstration.
The routine proceedings were quick
ly disposed of and the convention ad-
journed to o'clock. At o'clock the
committees were not yet ready to re-
port, and another adjournment was
taken until $50 p. IN.
1t remained for the night session to
bring the most remarkable demonstra-

day afternoon. After the nominations
had been made the convention adj
journed sine die.
The nomination of Bryan and Stew
enson was Endorsed by the Silver Re-
publican national convention. This
action was taken by the national COM
mittee, to which the convention had
referred the entire matter with plen-
airy powers.
The Silver Republican national con-
vention met in Kansas City on the same
day as the Democratic convention.
Senator Teller OF Colorado presided.
The delegates spent most of their tt me
trying to get the Democratic conven
ton to nominate Charles A. Towne for
vice president. After being in session
three days tho convention delegated to
the national committee full power TO
act il the Democrats failed to no1nin-
ste Tcwnc. The Silver Republicans
adopted platform very similar to the
Democratic platform.

NomInat ton of Mr.. Brynn.

William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska
was unanimously placed in nomination,
Thursday night, July 5, as the Demo-
cratic candidate for president of the
United States, on platform opposing
imperialism, militarism and trusts and
specifically declaring for the free coin
age of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1.
The nomination came as the culmin-
alton of frenzed demonstration in
honor of the party leader, lasting
twenty-seven minutes and giving ut
terance to all the pent-up emotions Of
the vast multitude. 1t followed ulso a
fierce struggle lasting thirty-six hours
concerning the platform declaration on
silver and on the. relative position
which the silver question is to main
tain to the other great issues of the
day.
1t was late in the afternoon of July
s, when the convention was at last
face to face with the presidential NOM
ination. Earlier in the day there had
been tedious delays due to the inabil-
ity of the platform committee to recon-
cile their differences and present a
report. Until this was ready, the con-
vention managers beguiled the time
by putting forward speakers of more
or less prominence to keep the vast
audience from becoming too restless.
When the call of states began, for
the purpose Of placing candidates in
nomination, Alabama yielded its place
at the head of the list to Nebraska,
ank Oldham. OF that state, made his
way to the platform for the initial
speech placing Mr.. Bryan in nomina-
ton for the presidency. The orator
was strong voiced and entertaining,
yet to the waiting delegates and spec
tators there was but one point to his
speech, and that was the stirring
peroration, which closed with the
name of William Jennings Bryan.
This was the signal for the demon
stration of the day, and in common
purpose the great concourse joined in
a tribute of enthusiastic devotion to
the party leader. A huge oil painting
of Bryan, measuring fifteen feet across,
was brought down the main aisle be-
fore the delegates. At the same time
the standards of the state delega ions
were torn from their sockets and waved
on high, while umbrellas of red, white
and blue, silk banners of the several
states and many handsome and unique
transparencies were borne about the
building among the deafening clamor
Of 10000 yelling, gesticulating men
and women.
When the demonstration had spent
itself the speeches seconding the NOM
ination of Mr.. Bryan were in order.
When Colorado was reached that
state yielded to Senator Hill OF New
York. The audience had anx!ously
awaited the appearance of the dis
tinguished New Yorker, and as he took
the platform he was accorded splen-
did reception, the entire audience ris-
ing and cheering wildly, with the sim

taxes high and which threaten the perpetuation

OF the oppressive war levies.
We oppose the accumulation Of surplus to
be squandered In such bare-faced frauds upon
the taxpayers as the shipping subsidy bill,
which, under the false pretense OF prospecting
American shipbuilding, would put unearned
millions into the pockets Of favorite contribut-
ors to the Republican campaign fund.
We favor the reduction and speedy repeal OF
the war taxes and return to the time
honored Democratic policy Of strict economy in
governmental expenditures.
Believing that our most cherished institutions
are in great peril that the very existence Of our
constitutional republic is at stake, and that the
decision now TO be rendered will determine
whether or not our children are to enjoy those
blessed privileges Of free government which
have made the United Statef great, prosperous
and honored, we earnestly ask for the foregoing
declaration of principles the hearty support OF
the liberty-loving people. regardless of previous
party affiliations.

Private monopolies are indefensible and In

They are the most efficient means yet devised

throughout the cheers for their New
York associate. Mr.. Hill was ir fine
voice and his tribute to the Nebraskan
touched the sympathetic chord in the
hearts of the audience. Aside from
the brilliant eulogy Of Bryan, the
speech of the New York leader was
chiefly significant in its strong plea for
unity.
