Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady
heart beats, and makes one feel as though
they had heart trouble. because the heart is
over-working In pumping thick, kidney
poisoned blood through veins and arteries.

but now modern science proves that nearly
all constitutional diseases have their begin

NEW YORK IN LINE SAYS HILL.

aNew York expects to join with
you with her 36 electoral votes" !"
and then as he stepped down from
the platform the convention be-
came a bedlam again. Hill for
vice president" was one of the
cries raised and delegates all over
the hall were ON their feet, except
the five rows of Tammany men,
Senator Edward Murphy, as Hill
passed to his seat, grasped his
hand and shook it heartily. Then
Mr. Shea, of Brooklyn, did the same

thread Of f.his, discourse had been
broken and that down south they
were in the habit Of saying Hell
hasksoken loose in Georgia
{ aAhd, = added the senator
vocife ferouoly, eff Marx Hanna had
been herea few minutes ago he
would have thought hell had broken
loose in Missouri
There were cries of "Goodl"
when the trust plank was read.
The senator reached the re.affirma-
tion of the Chicago platform with
the declaration for free silver
coinage at a ratio of Is to 1,
pandermonium again broke loose.
But the demonstration was faint
in comparison to what just occurred
when imperialism was announced
as the paramount ISSUE" Many
of the delegates stood on their
chairs and waved flags and cheered,
but a very considerable number
more than half-held their seats.
Senator Hill was among those who
maintained quiet, while Mr. Croker
waved flag until it broke, and
George Fred Williams led the
Massachusetts, contingent in salvos
of cheers. One of the New York
delegates raped a standard bear
ing the inscription, "Don't think
there are no 16 to 1'ers in New
York"
The demonstration lasted four
and one-half minutes.
There was intense scorn in the
SENATOR'S voice as he read the
platform arraignment of the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty, evoking
mingled laughter and applause.
The Boer plank brought another
cheer and the Senator received' a
round of applause as he closed.
When the applause had subsidized,
Chairman Jones, of the platfrom
committee, said he had been
instructed to move that the plat
form be adopted by the conven-
by aoclamation.

Fluctuations Democracy Does
q Great Work,

1 Convention Hall, Kansas City,
sJuly 6.-AlthonghS the time be-
tween the adjournment of the
morning session and that set for
the opening Of the afternoon was
over two hours, atno one time were
: the galleries Of the great hall more
/. than one.third emptied. .Thous--
ands of people sat out the adjourn
ment, being determined to miss no
part of the excitement.
By3:30 nearly all of the dele
gates were ready for business, and
waiting the arrival of Chairman
Richardson, who was q trife slow
in making his appearance. The
delegates seemed anxious to- getto
work and complete the business of
the convention, and when at 1888
o. m., the chairman made his ap-
:, pearance. there was g. ripple Of ap-
plause. Many of the delegates had
come prepared for the nomination
of Mr. Bryan. Dozens of them
carried small flags and numerous
plumes of bright colored pampas
grass were visible on various parts
5{of the floor. The crowd by $40
was the greatest that had attended
{ any session of the convention.
The gate-keepers were for once
rather lax in denying admission
topeople and there were hundreds
who had no tickets of admission
who were allowed to enter the
building. They swarmed in upon
The floor until it seemed impossi-
Bile that there could be room for
one more.
, /. .aa {. u
FL Z At 2:46 Senator Hill, OF New
{ York, who had been absent from
the two preceding sessions, came
through the delegates door by
himself. He was not recognized
at fret and had nearly reached his
seat when the cry of "Hill! Hill"
broke forth. It was coupled with
considerable applause, but the
demonstration in honor of the
senator when present lacked sew
eral degrees the warmth shown
yesterday afternoon and this
4 morning while he was absent.

REAp1Ka The pLATFoRM.

~ REAUlhOs 1hE ShAIfOhMs
It was not until 4 O'clock that
5 Chairman Richardson turning
from q conference with Governor
Mcmillan and Senator White
picked up the gaye] and brought
the convention to ocder. The
platform committee, headed by
Senator Jones, D. J. Campau, Sen
ator Tillnan and Judge Van
Wyck, had just pushed their way
through the dense throng and pro-
.ceeding to the platform had taken
seats fanking the platform.
Mr. Richardson appealed long
!. and vainly for order. The portly
form of Senator Jones, silver-hair-
!. ed and serious, advanced to the
front of the stage. He held a roll
of manuscript in his hands. But
it was useless to talk against such
a tumult and he dropped back in
his seat until order was being re-
stored.
At last the noise subsided and
Mr. Jones, in a clear voice, an
nounced:
'sIam authorized by the commit
tee on resolutions to present the
platform agreed upon, and I will
yield to the Senator from South
Carolina, Mr. Tillman, to read the
document"
MrTillman now stepped to the
front and was greeted with a cheer.
He read the platform in 8 full
round voice, easily heard through
out the hall.
AS he proceeded each plank was
greeted with applause. The sena-
tor accompanied his reading with
emphatic gestures, striding up and
down the platform, turning this
way and that, and after his man
ner in the Senate. There was a
howl of approval as he clenched
his fist and fercelY arraigned the
course of the administration in
Cuba. But it remained for his
reading the declaration "imperial-
ism is the paramount issue Of this
campaign" to evoke a storm of ap-
plause. The delegates sprang to
their feet, standing on their chaire,
waving hats, handkerchiefs, um-
brellas and flags, while the gal
5leries took up the chorus and csr-
ried it along for many minutes.
Senator Hill could be seen mar
shalling the hosts to cheer. He
, held a fan high above his head
and added his voice to the shout
ing. A second time Senator Till
man read this declaration and
, now even a greater demonstration
than before carried the convention
/, off its feet.
DENOMINATION OF FLAGS.
Suddenly hundreds, then thou
ands of miniature American flags
were passed among the delegates
and the whole floor Of the vast
structure became sea of flags.

ADOPTED BY Acc1AMAT1oN.


The motion was put and amid a
roar of cheers the platform was
adopted without word of dissent
The announcement of Chairman
Richardson of the adoption of the
platform was followed by stun
ming shout which made the build
ing ring from one end to the other.
Then followed a stirring and
dramatic scene. The plank in the
platfrom denouncing England's
policy toward the Beers had called
out immense applause, but when
it was announced by Chairman
Richardson that the convention
would be addressed by Hon. Web.
ster Davis, former assistant
secretary of the interior, the crowd
manifested its enthusiasm ny
cheering for two minutes.
Then the former Republican
leader assembled the platform and
stood facing the thousands OF
spectators.
The speech of Mr. Davis was
arranged in order to enable himttc
announce his allegiance to the
Democratic party and the platform
and to the ticket of the convention
In dramatic style and with al
the force and magnetism of a fine
orator, Mr. Davis began his address
He denounced as ga malicious
lie," the statement that he had
been forced to leave his Office in
the present national administra-
tion. He pictured in brilliant
and flaming sentences the
"cruelties ard sggressions practic.
ed by Great Britain upon the Beers
of South Africa" He expressed
his intense satisfaction that the
Democratic party had incorporated
in the platform plank 80 cordial
ly and enthusiastically endorsing
the cause of the Beers, which was
the cause of liberty and justice
AS he felt, be said, that this great
republic should not chain itself to
the chariot wheels of the empire
that was crushing liberty to death
in South Africa. he believed it to
be his duty to ally himself with
the Democratic party.
NEW YORK LEADS IN DEMONSTRATION.
New York We'd with Nebraska
and Kansas in venting its en-
thusiasm. Richard Croker was
on a chair, both arms aloft, a flag
in his right hand, which he waived
vigorously. Hill was not behind
him in the show of loyalty to the
nominee and waving his arms, he
let forth a series of cheers that
equalled those uttered by any
man on the floor. Over in Illinois
Ohio and Indiana, where Is to l
is not popular, there was no
hesitation now.
Round the hall started the
Nebrasks men with their huge
banner, and catching up their
state emblems the other delegations
took up the march, waving flags
and hats and cheering at the tops
of their voices without cessation
save for the breath necessary to a
fresh outburst.
The two women delegates from
Utah joined in the parade, one of
them carrying a silk banner of
white upon which was inscribed :
"GreetiDg to William Jennings
Bryan from the Democratic Wo-
men of Utah."
AS the women passed along the
aisle in front of the New York
delegation one of the enthusiastic
Tammauy braves turned loose a
war whoop that rivalled any
previously uttered on this CONT
nent and pounded one of the
women over the head with his
small flag as token of apprecla-
