What Is a Mystief

What Is a mystic? The dictionary gives us an answer perhaps, but one wants in a thousand cases something more than the dictionary. We like to make definitions ourselves. This Is a stronger tendency than we suspect. A mystic is man who makes his own definitions.
 l knew man many years ago in q country town where 1 lived who was a typical nonconformist and an ex- ample of self reliance. He was withal a man of strong character and did not ask anybody's good opinion. He was cabinet maker and always spelled bu- reau "buro." A man to whom he sent a bill said to him, This is not the way Webster spells bureau" Well" said he, this Is the way I spell 1t, and I have as good right to my way as Webster has to his." He was a mystic in orthography.
 "Ye must be born again." That was mysticism to Nicodemus. His diction- ary didn't explain 1t. Jacob Behmen called the same thing the morning redness." That, too, dcfies the diction- ary. Swedenborg calls love fire" and beyond all others in modern times makes definitions of his own. All poets are to some extent mystics, inasmuch as they express themselves in symbols and metaphors.-Coming Age.

THE CONVENTION Democratic Ticket Is Bryan
 and Stevenson.
16 TO 1 REAFFIRMED.
The Platform Makes Imperialism
 the Paramount Issue.
GREAT ENTHUSIASM SHOWN

Story of the Proceedings of the Gath ering at Kansas City-Keynote of the Campaign Struck on the Open ing Day by the Temporary Chair man-Fight For Vice Presidency Be- tween Stevenson, Towne and HiI1. Kansas City, July 1.-The Democratic national ticket as chosen by the national convention in session here is:
 For President-William Jennings Bry- an of Nebraska.
 For Vice President-Adlai E. Steven son of Illinois.
 Mir. Bryan was chosen by exclamation. Mr. Stevenson was chosen on the first ballot. His most prominent opponents in the voting were Charles A. Towne and David Bennett Hill.
 The convention began its labors on July 4.
 Chairman Jones called the convention to order promptly on time. Prayer was offered by Rev. Mir. Neel, and the call for the convention was read. Mayor Reed of Kansas City then made a speech bid ding the delegates welcome to Kansas City. Governor Thomas of Colorado, the temporary chairman, was then introduced and made his speech as chairman. The money question was the keynote of the speech. Trusts, the currency law, i'm perialism and militarism shared his at tention in his assault upon the Repub- lican administration.
 At the conclusion of Governor Thomas speech Mir. Campau of Michigan offered resolution for reading the Declaration of Independence, and the band played the "Star Spangled Banner" A statue of Bryan was unveiled on the stage, and delegates and spectators arose and cheer ed wildly. The call of states then began for naming the members of the various committees. This was tedious work, GOV ering all the caucus selections of the several states and territories.
 The convention then took a recess and after reassembling adjourned until 8 D. m.
 The Night Session.
 Former Governor Altgeld of Illinois delivered an address at the opening of the evening session. He prophesied Demo- cratic success in the fall and made a ref erence to MT. Hill which provoked an- other great demonstration. Chairman Thomas called for the report of the committee on permanent organiza- tion, and when it was announced that
Connecticut western news., 1900-07-12

WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN. Judge Richardson of Tennessee had been selected as chairman cheers swept over the great auditorium.
 Chairman Thomas, after the adoption of the report without debate, appointed a committee consisting of former Governor McCreary of Kentucky, Daniel Campau of Michigan and Mayor Phelan of San Francisco to escort the permanent chair man to the platform.
 Mir. Richardson placed the issues of the campaign under Is heads and the candi- date as the one of the combination.
 MT. Richardson's Is issues were impe- rialism, the trusts, the Dingley law, the money question, the Monroe doctrine, the Nicaragua canal, including a denuncia- tion of the HayPauncefote treaty; civil service, admission of territories, Porto Rico tariff, equivocal Philippine policy of Republicans, depository bank scandals, embalmed beef, etc; postal frauds In Gu ba, the Boer war, war taxes and extrav- ngance of the Republican administration
 A reference to Mir. Bryan provoked a demonstration which lasted for fully half an hour. The delegates sprang upon their chairs and cheered themselves hoarse. Then they marched round and round the hall.
 Shortly after this scene of enthusiasm the convention adjourned.
 The Second Day.
 The morning session was devoted to speechmaking pending the report of the platform committee.
 It was not until late in the afternoon, when the second session had begun, that the platform committee was at last able to report an agreement. Already its main features, embodying the 16 to 1 principle, had become known to the delegates, and there was little delay in giving it unan- imous approval. This removed the last chance for an open rupture on questions of principle and left the way clear for the supreme event of the day-the nomina- tion of the presidential candidate. The vast auditorium was filled to its utmost capacity when the moment arrived for the nomination to be made.
 When the call of states began for the purpose of placing candidates in nomi- nation, Alabama yielded its place at the head of the list to Nebraska, and W. D. Oldham of that state made his way to the platform for the initial speech placing Mir. Bryan in nomination for the presi- dency.
 The orator was strong voiced and entertaining, yet to the waiting lele- gates and spectators there was but ons | point to his speech, and that was thu stirring peroration which closed with tn, name of William Jennings Bryan. Thi: | was the signal for the demonstration o | the day, and in common purpose thu | great concourse joined in a tribute o
 enthusiastic devotion to the party leaders When the demonstration had spent it | self, the speeches seconding the nomina tion of Mir. Bryan were in order. Senator White spoke for California, giving thu | tribute of the Pacific coast to the Neb-as | ka candidate. When Colorado was reach | ed, that state yielded to Senator Hill o ] New York.

OdeII VIII Not Run,

New York, July 11.-Benjamin B. Odell, Jr., chairman of the Republican state committed. announced yesterday
 that he would not be a candidate for governor to succeed Governor Roosevelt. As it had been generally understood that Mir. Odell had only to give his consent to be made the Republican candidate, his refusal to allow his name to be used caused surprise, which was coupled with disappointment in many quarters. My
 position is the same that 1t was two years ago and as it was last year. made up my mind when became chair man of the state committee that l would not be a candidate for any office, and l shall not be while I hold that position"
Connecticut western news., 1900-07-12

Mir. Hill was in fine voice. He pictured Bryan as the champion of the plain peo- pie and of the workingman, strong with the masses, with the farmer and with the artisan. When he declared with dra- matic emphasis that the candidate would have the support of his party-a united party-there was tremendous applause at the suggestion of Democratic unity. Aside from the brilliant eulogy of Bryan, the speech of the New York leader was chiefly significant and attractive in its strong plea for unIty-
