A UNITED PARTY.

His laudation of Bryan was received
with applause and cheers, but when he
said Bryan will have the support OF a
united party" the convention went
wild and the band had to play Amer
lea" to still the tumult. His integ-
rity has never been questioned" as
serted Mr.. Hill, and the audience yelled
That's So" His explanation of his
position on the platform and his ac-
Quiesence with the will of the majority
called for heartier applause than had
been evident before and the good Of
fees of the band were again necessary
to get attention for him.
This nomination will meet the APP
prevail of the East" he said, and en-
Unused his auditors. In closing he
said New York expects to join with
you with her thirty-six electoral
votes" and then as he stepped down
from the platform the convention be-
came a bedlam again.

WEBSTER DAVIS SPEAKS.

Then followed a stirring and dra-
matte scene. The plank in the plat
form denouncing England's policy to-
ward the Beers had called out immense
applause, but when 1t was announced
by Chairman Richardson that the con-
vention would be addressed by Hon.
Webster Davis, former Assistant Sec
rotary of the Interior, the crowd man
ifested it's enthusiasm by cheering for
two minutes as the former Republican
leader assembled the platform and stood
facing the thousands of spectators.
The speech of Mr.. Davis was arrang-
ed in order to enable him to announce
his allegiance to the Democratic party
and to the Democratic platform, and to
the ticket of the convention.
In dramatic style and with all the
force and magnetism of fine orator,
MT Davis began his address. He de-
nounced as malicious lie" the state
ment that he had been forced TO leave
his Office in the present national admin
istration. He pictured in brilliant
and flaming sentences the "cruelties''
and "aggressions" practiced by Great
Britain upon the Beers of South At
. RIGA He expressed his intense salts
faction that the Democratic party had
incorporated in the platform a plank
SO cordially endorsing the cause of the
Peers which was the cause of liberty
and justice.
AS he felt, he 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 1t to be his duty
Ito ally himself with the Democratic
yparty His account with the Republi-
J can party, he regarded as fully bal
anced. He owed it no further obliga-
tons. These sentiments met with
much applause.

the roof between two trusses and as the
signal was given the cords were cut
and slowly it unrolled its white and
crimson folds as it fell gracefully and
swung over the platform, slightly to
the rear and south of the speaker s
desk. The banner was an enormous
affair, being fully fifty feet long and
about one-half as wide. Upon the
white stripes were printed the follow
ing sentences in large letters OF blue:
Constitutional governments derive
their just powers from the consent OF
the governed"
THE constitution and the flag, one
and inseparable now and forever.
THE flag of republic forever, OF
an empire, never"
"a renllhlic can have no colonies"

AN UNEXPECTED INCIDENT.

To the vast majority of those in the
hall the flag was an unexpected incl
dent, and Its appearance was the sig
nal for frantic roar which caused
everything that had gone before it to
sink INTO insignifcance. For a full
two minutes the cords of the flag
caught and would not permit 1t to fall
to its length. 1t was caught up just
enough to prevent the convention from
reading the inscriptions on the banner
and until they were released and the
banner free the enthusiasm increased
every second When finally every
word was visible there was climax of
cheers that was deafening
Senator Tillman stood surveying the
storm and awaiting an opportunity to
proceed. The chairman pounded his
gayel and appealed for order. But the
march of the delegates, bearing their
standards and banners, ran on uninrer-
ruptedly for % minutes. AS Senator
Tillman was about to resume, he re-
marked that the thread of his discourse
had been broken and that down South
they were in the habit of saying:
Hell has broken loose in Georgia
And" added the senator, vocifer-
ously, If Mark Hanna had been here
a few minutes ago he would have
thought hell had broken loose in Mis-
souri,"

CAUGHT THE CONVENTION.

He caught the fancy of the conven-
ton by his statement that the govern
ment 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 independ-
ence, and on the west by the ten COM
mandments."
THE prospects of the Democratic
party are brighter now than they were
four years age" he said, and out from
the midst of the convention came a
vigorous mo-" uttered with consider
able emphasis.
Yes yes" came from several d.
rections to offset the utterance of the
doubling Thomas. The interruption
caused Mr. Oldham to pause for few
seconds, but he caught his swing again
and entered upon his eulogy of Mr..
Bryan, which he delivered with impas-
stoned fervor. AS he approached the
close of his address, he realised both
| hands high over his head and spoke
| slowly and with an energy that caused
his voice to penetrate into every cor
ner of the hall.
"And-that man is-William Jen-
nings 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.

TO NOMINATE a PRESIDENT.

| ergeant-at-Arms Martin rose to his
feet and waved desperately for silence,
when few degrees OF noise had been
eliminated, he said: The next bust
ness before the convention is the nom
nation of a candidate for the presi-
dency of the United States. The Sec
Rotary. will call the roll OF States.
Alabama" the secretary then
shouted, commencing the call of the
roll.
THE State of Alabama" said the
chairman of the delegation of that
State, yields to Nebraska the privi-
lege OF naming the next president OF
the United States
w. D. Oldham, of Nebraska, who was
to present the name of Mr.. Bryan to
the convention, was waiting by the
chairmans desk, and as the chairman
of the Alabama delegation resumed his
seat, he came forward and in few
graceful words expressed his apprecia-
ton of the favor extended by Alabama
in surrendering its time to the State
of Mr.. Bryan.
Mr.. Oldham is d man of about fifty
years of age, something under middle
size, with Slight forward stoop. His
face is clean shaven and his black hair
was closely cropped. His voice is clear
and pleasant and carries far, his de-
livery was agreeable and throughout
his address he received the closest at
tention of the convention.

FINANCE AND TRADE.

NEW YORK, July 5.-Chinese crisis
must be added to the renewed un-
easiness over the financial conditions
at Berlin, where there was condi-
ton bordering on panic both yesterday
and to-day.
The argument was that in the event
of extensive military operations in
China much material would have to be
supplied from our Pacific coast. This
served to raise the grangers we'll over
Tuesdays level of prices.
The money market continued quiet
and there was no evidence of largely
increased supplies from the July pay
ments. The metal stocks were all not
ably strong and advanced from l to 3
points. The local traction stocks and
a number of the leading industrials
also showed occasional strength.
The bond market was fairly active,
but the movement of prices was ire
gular. Total sales, par value, $780,

HILL WAS LOYAL.

Hill was not behind him in the show
of loyalty to the nomination and wav-
ing his arms, he let forth a series of
cheers that equaled those utterd by
any man on the floor Over in Illi-
nois, Ohio and Indiana, where is to

now. The die was cast, the gage of
battle lifted and they swung into line
as fiercely as any that had stood I'M

fore the committee on resolutions.
Round the hall started the Nebraska
men with their huge banner and catch
ing up their State emblems the other
delegations took up the march, waving
flags and hats and cheering at the top
OF their voices without cessation, save
for the breath necessary to fresh out

GREETING FROM WOMEN.

The two women delegates from Utah
joined in the parade, one of them car
rying small silk banner of white up
on which was inscribed: Greeting to
VIM. j. Bryan, from the Democratic
women of Utah"
AS the women passed along the aisle
in front of the New York delegation.
one of. the enthusiastic Tammany
braves turned loose a war whoop that
rivaled any previously uttered on this
continent, and pounded one of the
women over the head with his small
flag as a token of appreciation. Far
from resenting the blow, the woman
smiled and pirouted through the aisle
formed of shouting men.
Then Tammany went into real hys-
terics and gymnastic spasms as the
women passed out of sight in the crowd
in front Of the speakers desk.

PANDEMoNIUM ONCE MORE.

There were cries of Good, good,
when the trust plank was read. When
the senator reached the reaffirmation
of the Chicago platform with the dec
laration for free silver coinage at "a
ito of If to l, pandemonium again
broke loose. But the demonstration
was faint in comparison to what had
Just occurred when imperialism was
announced as the paramount issue"
Many of the delegates stood on their
chairs and waved flags and cheered,
but very considerable number more
than half, held their seats. Senator
Hill was among those who remained
quiet while Mr. Croker waved a flag
until it broke, and George Fred Will
liams led the Massachusetts contingent
on salvos of cheers. One of the New
York delegates raised standard
bearing the inscription: Don't think
there are no 16 to 1'ers in New York. %
The demonstration lasted Az min
utes.
There was intense scorn in the Sen
ator's voice as he read the platform ar
Taignment of the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty, evoking mingled laughter and
applause. The Boer plank brought
another cheer and the Senator receiv-
ed round of applause at the close.
His voice throughout was admirable
and he made himself heard throughout
the vast hall. His reading, too, was
fOrceful and effective

A SIMULTANEOUS ROAR.

1t was a simultaneous roar from all
parts of the hall. Up went the dele
gates upon their chairs, over their
heads went the flags and above them
all scared and rang the cheers for
Bryan. The band loyalty performed
its share, but the noise of it's creation
was but drop in the torrent. The
men from the State of Nebraska flung
up large banner, bearing a likeness of
Mr.. Bryan upon one side and upon the
other the word Nebraska" and a
smaller portrait of Mr.. Bryan enclosed
in a star of blue. Whatever may have
been the differences of delegates over
the platform, they seemed to have for
gotten them, and all were as one in
favor Of the man. New York We'd with
Nebraska and Kansas in venting it's
enthusiasm. Richard Croker was on

When the applause had subsidized,
Chairman Jones, Of the platform COM

Ito move that the platform be adopted
by. the convention by reclamation.
The motion was put amid roar of
cheers, the platform was adopted with
out word of dissent. The announce
ment of Chairman Richardson, OF the
adoption of the platform, was followed
by stunning shout which made the
building ring from one end to the other.

CLARK, THEN TEXAS.

Senator Clark, of Montana, accom-
panied by lady, both waving flags
with intense energy, called forth ter
rife applause as they passed ayound
the hall. Behind them came Texas
with its long pole surmounted by
steers horns and further back some Of,
the New York delegation, carrying
their little flag bearing the words
Don't think there are no 16 to 1'ers
in New York"
Round and round the hall went the
marching column between two walls
of cheering men, who stood beneath a
cloud Of fluttering flags. 1t was a dem
onstration fully equal in fervor to any,
thing that had preceded yesterdays or
to-day's when the platform was reach
ed. When the enthusiasm had run for
1919 minutes, Chairman Richardson
commenced to pound vigorously for
order. He was lost beyond all power
of hearing for several minutes and it
was not until q minutes had elapsed
from the instant that Mr. Oldham had
mentioned the word Bryan" that the
cheering had subsidized and the conven-
| ton was in order once more.
