Bryan Put In Nomination.
W. D. Oldham of Nebraska then pre-
scented the name Of Mr.. Bryan to the
convention. Among other things he
said:
Mr.. Chairman: More than a hun
dred years ago the continental con-
gresS of America adopted declaration
which had been drafted by the found
er of the Democratic party, and the
joyous tones of the old Liberty bell
which greeted the act announced to a
waiting world that a nation had been
born.
with hearts unchilled by the selfish
sentiments of cold commercialism, you
have responded periodically to each
sentiment contained in democracy's
first platform as il was read to you
at the opening of this convention; and
in view of the radical departure which
the party in power had made from
the principles set forth in that histo-
ric document, it is meet that we-true
believers in the republic of old
should, when choosing a field and
forming our lines for the bloodleSS
battle of ballots now impending, say
in the language of one of the loved
patriots of long ago: Read this decla-
ration at the head of the army, and
every sword shall be drawn from its

Democratic skies are tinged with a
roster hue today than when we met in
convention four years ago. Then a
financial cataclysm had spread over
the country, and, although its every

errors and follieS of the republican
party, yet We were in power when it
came, and were wrongly held response
bic for the wreck Of shattered fortunes
which followed in its wake. Torn
asunder by discussions within and dis
asters without, our party faced a
gloomy and foreboding future which
seemed to augur its dissolution. The
problem then was to select a standard

The Discontinue Of the "Antis. :"

The recent appointments made by
President Mckinley of high officials In
our new possessions are exceedingly
disappointing. But the disappoint-
ment is wholly on the part of those
warped and befuddled "anti-imperial-
lists" who had looked forward to these
appointments as an occasion to de-
nounce the President and his abuse of
his Imperial power. 1t was with
vehement denunciation and dlretui
prophecy that this small but noisy
class first discussed the power of the
President to appoint these civil gov
ernors. commissions and high officials.
| They raked up all the for
| rntten scandals of carpet
government in reconstruction days,
and prophesied worse things in
our insular possessions. They insisted
that the President would be the willing
tool of hungry office seekers, eager for
a mad, imperialistic revel.
But how completely have these vim
dictive pessimists been silenccd. In
stead of ridiculing and denouncing
these appointments, they are actually
compelled to praise them; and their
praise is valuable and significant since
it is SO unwillingly given. For William
Mckinley. true TO his lifelong advocacy
of competent public service. has
made the strongest appointments
possible, selecting without exception
the best men for the places. ON all
sides are expressed praise and gratiii-
cation. and the ''antis'' fail to find a
name they can ridicule or a character
they can assail The beginning was
made in making General Wood civil
governor of Cuba: then Judge Taft
was put at the head of a strong Philip
pine commission, and next Assistant
Secretary Allen was named as the
first governor of Puerto Rico. From
every quarter came most cordial
commentator for these strong seltc-
tons. No better men were to be found
in the country for the positions. The
opposition and mugwump press arc
forced to admit this. The naming of
Prof. Holander as treasurer and John
T.. Garrison as auditor of Puerto Rico'S
new government has added 10 the dis
comtiture of the "antis." And now as
a finishing blow comes the Confcrenc"
report on the Hawaiian government
bill providing that all appointees I'M

residents Of Hawaii.

Eighteen years ago a woman living in
