Lincoln, Neb., July 6.-News Of the
nomination Of William Jennings Bryan
for president did not arouse the tummlt
of enthusiasm last night that It did four
years ago, when the convention at Chica-
go similarly honorcd him. Conditions then
and now are wholly dlssmilar. His selec.
tion now az his pnrty's standard bearer
has been 80 long forecastcd that anything
short of unanimous all would have
been a surprise. Added to this is the fact
that about half of LincOln's Democratic
voting strength Is in Kansas City. How
ever, there were hearty congratulations
showered upon the nominee together with
an abundance OF red fire and noise when
the news became generally known.
At the Bryan home there was no mark
ed demonstration. Mr.. Bryan was re-
clining on R lounge in the parlor with
only the family present when State Sem
ntor Talbot. in the telegraph room above,
shouted. You're nominated. old man."

stairs and as Mr.. Bryan reached for the
bulletin he remarked jokingly:

Democracy's Leader.

William Jennings Bryan is again the
candidate for president of the Demo-
Gratis, PopulIsts and Free Silver Rspub-
licans, as In 1896, and is confronted by
the same opponent as he had that year.
Mr.. Bryan came before the people
four years ago comparatively unknown;
today his name is common wherever
civilized men gather to read and discuss
tho topics of the hour.
That the past four years have made
him stronger as a candidate and have
wrought change Of opinion Of him in
tho minds of thousands of his fellow
citizens, there can be no doubt.
No longer can the cartoonist and the
word-picturo painter inflame and pre-
judice the public against Domocracy's
loader by portraying him as an anar-
chist, . confiscator, a law-dofsr and
man who espouses un-American and
unconstitutional doctrines.
For four years William jennings
Bryan has stood as severe = test as any
American In private life has ever been
subjected to.
His every word, act, and, in fact, his
thoughts, have been watched by relent-
less and vigilant powers, from within
and without his party, and not once
during that terrible ordeal has he been
found to be anything but the pure,
honest and true American which those
who knew him we'll four years ago
claimed him to be.
BY q slight deviation from his prin-
ciples, Bryan today could command the
support Of almost every Democrat who
loft tho party and opposed him in 1896.
Were he more of a politician and less
statesman he would have succumbed to
the lurid inducements of unquestioned
victory which influential men held out
to him this week.
But Bryan is not the man who will
sacrifice principle, even in so immaterial
q document as political platform, and
as result Of his devotion to the inter-
ests of tho whole people on the financial
question, the battle OF 1900 will be
fought as In 1s96-wlth tho classes and
their wealth and their dupes arranged
against tho masses.
Tho hopes Of the country lie with
Democracy, and tho hopes Of Democracy
for the present, at least, are bound to
Bryan. He is the ono logical leader
and director who can be trusted to lead
America and Americans back to the
safe and just ways Of government
through which the nation grew and
prospered for century.
Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1900-07-06

The Democracy is the only complete
national party In the country; there is
no state in which thers is not vigorous
Democratic organization, and In which
william J. Bryan will not receive a
substantial popular vote. The Re-
publican party remains sectional
organization, as It always has been.
In some states thcre are hardly enough
respectable Republicans to fill the
electoral ticket. But the Democracy is
still, as II was in the time OF Jefferson,
n broad Is the constitution it defends.

he denounced the keeping of ain army in

Kansas City. July Civilian Jen-
nings Bryan Of Nebraska was last night
unanimously placed in nomination as the
Democratic candidate for president of
the United States on platform opposing
imperialism, militarism and trusts and
specifically declaring for the free coinage
of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1. The NOM
ination came as the elimination of a fren-
zied demonstration in honor of the party
leader lasting "a minutes and giving ut

fierce struggle throughout the last 36
hours concerning the platform declaration
Oh silver and on the relative position
which the silver question is to maintain
to the other great issues of the day.
1t was late in the afternoon when the
convention was at last face to face with
the presidential nomination. Earlier in
the day there had been tedious delays due
to the inability of the platform commit
tee to reconcile their differences and pre-
sent n report. Until this was ready the
convention managers beguiled the time
by putting forward speakers of more or
less prominence to keep the vast audience
from becoming too restless.

morning, was entirely fruitless of results,
