isfaction with the Platform
Adopted,

LINCOLN, Neb., July News of the

the tumult Of enthusiasm here that II

There was no marked enthusiasm at
the Bryan residence
When asked for a statement. Mr.. Rryan
gave out the following:
Il am very much gratified to learn of
the adoption of the platform, which is
clear and explicit on every question
The controversy over the silver plank
was not controversy between men who
differed in principle. but rather a differ
ence of opinion as to the best method of
stating the question. II we only had
Democrats TO deal with, a simple re-
affirmation would have been sufficient:
but we have to deal with the Republicans
as well. Democrats and some of the
Republicans would misconetrue our pur-
pose and endeavor 10 twist Il into an
evasion OF abandonment OF the silver
question.
our appeal ia to the patriotism ana
the conscience OF the people, and we must
take them into our confidence II we ex-
pect 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 our time In assaults upon Re-
publican policies.

The committee on permanent organiza-
lion then reported the selection of Judge
w. l.. Brown Of Ohio, "a permanent
chairman of the convention, and H. A.
McCreary, OF California. as permanent
secretary. Judge Brown received hearty
recognition by the convention as he took
the chair. He said that as the East turn
ed 20 the West in the time of Lincoln. so
again IL turned to the West. and found a
leader in the person OF William Jennings
Bryan. The mention OF Bryan's name
gave the convention an opportunity OF
showing its loyalty to the Democratic
leader The chairman's allusion to
Charles A. Towne as the candidate for
second place caused emphatic applause
equal TO that accorded to Bryan.
