are the most efficient means yet devised
for appropriating the fruits of industry to
the benefit of the few at the expense of the
many, and unless their insatiate greed is
checked all wealth will be aggregated in
few hands and the republic destroyed.
The dishonest peltering with the trust
evil by the Republican party in state and
national platforms is conclusive proof
of the truth of the charge that trusts are
the legitimate product of Republican poll
cies, that they are fostered by Republican
laws and that they are protected by the
Republican administration in return for
campaign subscriptions and political sup
port.
Promise Unceasing Warfare.
We pledge the Democratic party to an
unceasing warfare in nation, state and
city against private monopoly in every
form. Existing laws against trusts must
be enforced and more stringent ones must
be enacted providing for publicity as to
the affairs Of corporations engaged in in
terstate commerce, and requiring all cor
porations' to show before doing business
outside of the state of their origin, that they
have no water in their stock, and that
they have not attempted, and are not at
tempting, to monopOlize any branch of
business or the production of any articles
Of merchandise, and the whole constitu-
tional power of congress over Interstate
commerce, the mails and all modes of in
terstate communication shall be exercised
by the enactment of comprehensive laws
upon the subject of trusts Tariff laws
should be amended by putting the prod
ucts of trusts upon the free list to pre-
vent monopoly under the plea Of protsc.

changed to him and he secured more
than the necessary two-thirds. Hill
received 200 votes and Towne 89A.
Hill would probably have secured the
place had he not taken the platform
and positively refused to accept.
The main fight Of the convention was
over the platform. but this was carried
on before the resolutions committee and
was not taken up Oh the floor of the
convention. The conservative element
favored a simple declaration reatfirming
The Chicago platform but the silver
nen refused to give in and carried

However, they yielded a point to the
conservatives by making imperialism
the dominant issue Of the campaign.

MANY SPEECHES MADE.

Nearly Every State Had Something to
Say ON the Vice Presidential Question.
KANSAS CITY, July 6.-The third and
final day of the Democratic national
convention was called to order by
Chairman Richardson at l0:40 a. m. 1t
was some minutes before there was
sufficient quiet for the opening invoca-
ton and then the great audience arose,
while Rev. Rabbi Mayer Of Kansas
City delivered prayer breathing the
sense of responsibility resting upon the
convention.
Immediately following the prayer the
call of the states begun for the purpose
of making nominations for the vice
presidency. Great confusion prevailed
and very few of the delegates were
aware of what was going on. Alabama
yielded to Illinois, but the disorder was
so great nothing could be done. The
police and sergeants-at-arms struggled
vainly to dispossess the mob, which
was now we'll nigh in control of the
floor. It took Is minutes to restore
some semblage of order.
Stevenson and Towne Namad.
When quiet was restored Congress-
man Williams of Illinois placed Ste
venson in nomination. Mr.. Williams
spoke rapidly and briefly and at his
mention Of Adlai E. Stevenson, Illinois
was on it's feet cheering wildly. The
applause, while vigorous, was short,
not lasting above a minute. When the
roll call reached Connecticut that state
gave way to Minnesota amid cheers
and cries of "Towne." L. IA. Rosing
of Minnesota then took the platform to
present the name of Charles "A. Towne
of his state.
Mr.. Rosing is tall, pow rful man
with a voice beftting his stalwart
frame. He could be heard in every d.
rection. His first applause " as gained
when he spoke of Mr.. Townel as man
who embodied the best char cteristics

nounced the name of Towne there was

Meanwhile the confusion continued

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.

Declaration of Principles of the Kansas
City Convention.
We, the representatives of the Demo
cratic party of the United States, assem-
bled in national convention on the ami
versary of the adoption Of the Declaration
of Independence, do reaffirm our faith in
that immortal proclama ton of the inalien-
able rights of man, and our allegiance
to the Constitution framed in harmony
Herewith by the fathers of the republic
We hold with the United States supreme
court that the Declaration of Independ-
ence is the spirit of our government, of
which the Con stitutiOn is the form and
letter.
We declare again that all governments
instituted among men derive their just
powers from the consent of the governed !;
that any government not based upon the
consent Of the governed is !, tyranny, and
that to impose upon amy people govern
ment of force is to substitute the methods
of imperialism for those of q republic.
We hold that the Constitution follows
the flag, and denounce the doctrine that
an executive Or congress, deriving their
existence and powers from the Constitu-
ton, can exercise lawful authority be-
yond it or in violation or it. WcasScrt
that no nation can long endure

FIRST DAYS SESSION.
Nothing Done Beyond Completing the
Organization.

Nothing Done Beyond Completing the
Organization.
KANSAS CITY, July 4.-Amid scenes
of tumultuous enthusiasm befitting
such all event and such day, the Dem
ocratic national convention began its
first session. But after sitting until
late hour at night the expected climax
of the day, the nomination of William
J. Bryan as the Democratic candidate
for president, has failed Of realization
and all of the larger business of the
convention awaits the completion of the
platform.
AS spectacular event, however. the
convention has fulfilled the hopes of
the most fervid party man, for the vast
assemblage of delegates and speakers
has twice been swept with whirlwind
demonstrations, first for the leader who
is about to be placed in nomination and
then for the other champion Of Dem
'ocracy, David B. Hill. But in actual
accomplishment the days work is con-
fined to organization with the speeches
of the temporary chairman, Governor
Thomas of Colorado, and permanent
chairman, Hon. James D. Richardson,
the appointment Of the various com.
mittees aud detailed preparations for
the more serious work yet in store. 1t
was an inspiring scene that Chairman
Jones looked out upon when at noon,
after beating tattoo with his gavel he
stilled the tumult and
Declared the Convention Open.
About him were fully $4,000 people, ris-
ing tier on tier, like the spectators in
some vast coliseum. Above and on all
Sides was gorgeous sunburst of color,
huge flags in rosettes and graceful fan
shapes, bunting Topped in great stream
ers, notices and coats Of arms from
many states, mingling in this overhang-
ing spread of color with the bright sum-
mer hats and dresses of many women
present.
But it was not clearly.a gathering Of
wealth and fashion. The bronzed faces
of many of the men, their course shirts,
oollarless and scardess, marked them as
from tho soil With hardly an excep-
hon they took off their coats and sat in
their shirt sleeves. It was gatheyiRg
mono the less inspired with tho patrii lie
lepirit Of the day, which found constant
|e8pression in wild hurrahs at every
lseund OF "Dixie" or America. F" In

Incorporating specific 16 to deolar-

called the announcements was made
that the state would yield to New York.
Then the result OF the Hill conference
became apparent. A TREMENDOUS shout
Of applause swept through the hall.
Delegate Grady, one of the leaders Of
Tammany Hall, had already assembled
7he platform, and as he stepped to the
front to address the convention, the ap-
plause and cheering increased. His
first sentence rang through the great
building in trumpet tones:
''On behalf Of tie Democracy Of Ne>;
York, present to the convention TO-:
the nomination to the vice presidency
che ne me of David Bennett Hill''
Tempestuous Scene Follows.
It was dra matte in the extreme The
effect was electrical. His words set the
convention in a frenzy of enthusiasm
The scene which followed was by far
the most tempestuous Of the session,
and the name of Hill echoed and re-
echoed through the hall. State stand
ards were seized and held aloft and the
convention was canopied with futter-
ing flags and handkerchiefs. Delegates
and spectators cheered and the great
structure fairly shook with the noise
when the galleries became infected
with the enthusiasm. Governor Hill
by this time had worked his way
through the curging multitude to the
platform. AS he assembled it, his hands
We're eagerly grasped and he was es-
corted to the seat of the permanent
chairman. He asked Mr. Grady to
yield to him that he might make a
statement, but Grady declined.
Hill Says He Cannot Accept.
When the ex-senator secured the floor
he declared the presentation Of his name
was without his approval and that he
could not accept the nomination for
personal reasons. In conclusion, he
said:
Il did not come into this convention
as a candidate. did not expect to be
a candidate, and [ cannot accept the
honor Again came the cries of eyes
you can," in greater volume than be-
fore, but this had not the slightest
effect
He left the platform, cheered to the
echo and surrounded by his friends,
who pressed forward to grasp his hand.
Indiana and Iowa seconded the nom-
ination of Stevenson, and Louisiana en-
dorsed Hill.
Delegate A. Leo Knott Of Maryland,
formerly an assistant postmaster gen.
eral, presented in a brief speech the
name of Governor John Walter Smith
of Maryland.
Stevenson Nominated.
It was after o'clock when the Sec
onding speeches, many Of them weari-
some, were concluded and the balloting
began. The vote was followed with in
tense interest, for when Alabama an
nounced 3 for Stevenson and 10 for
Hill it looked as though close and ex-
citing contest was to occur. But it was
soon evident that Stevenson had q
strong lead. At the close Of the call he
had $50 1-2 votes, which, however, was
not enough to nominate, the requisite
two-thirds being 624. Hill received
200 votes and Towne 80 ID But before
the announcement of the result a
trong-lunged delegate from Tennessee
stood on his chair and announced:
Tennessee changes her "a votes
from Hill to Stevenson"
That started the tide irresistibly to-
wards Stevenson. From every quarter
of the hall came cries for recognition.
In the end the nomination was made
unanimous.

Ed Seed Meets Death at Early
Hour this Morning.

The people of Florence we're
startled this morning when the
news had circulated that Ed Seed
had been killed at the Rocky
Mountain smelter. Mr.. Seed and
some boy had just finished the
work of dropping cars down the
track and had started to do some
sweeping at the side of gondola
car from which some Italians were
engaged unloading lumber.
The boy had told the men to be
careful in dropping the timber as
some one may be on that side
No sooner had the words been
spoken than one of the Italians
let go of three-incb plank which
in falling struck Seed on the right
temple, fracruring the skull. This
was at 8 o'clock this morning.
He bled profusely and died
in about one hour after the
accident occurred.
He was taken to Deibert's under
taking rooms where the body was
prepared for burial
