| The Opening Proceedings.
Vice President William Holmead occupied
| a conspicuous place on the stage, at the
back of which was hung large Autograph

can flag. The Introductory remarks of
Capt. Collins, the address Of Mr. Hutch
ins and the speeches of the orators
| or the evening. who were Representa-
! tives Cochran of Missouri and Rhea of
| Kentucky and Mr.. A. A. Lpscomb of Vir-
! ginia, all breathed the same theme-the ne
| cessity Of supporting Bryan and the Chi
| cago platform and of sending a delegation
Instructed to support both to Kansas CITY,
| Inc speeches were punctuated with APP

the close By Representative Norton of Ohio
| and Mr. James R. Sovereign.
| INDUCES i'm No Criticism,
| Il shall not indulge in any criticism Of
any democrats opinion who does not agree
with me in my high esteem for Mr. Bryan

delegation shall be elected who are known i

structed for him, so that there may be no
| uncertainty as to their position"
Mr. Hutchins next introduced Mr.. Coch-

sending an instructed delegation to Kansas
City.
They should be sent there" he said.

who would make the strongest candidate
and secure the largest number of votes, be-
cause some of the weak-minded believe
there Is no hope of electing a democratic
President but they should be instructed to
nominate the only man who can and will be
elected. The democrats who go to that con-
vention should and must be told what to do
after they get there. They must not be
made towards because a few have already
shown that characteristic"
Mr.. Cochran then proceeded to say that
no government can be better than its |
party" and party that has bound itself |
