KANSAS CITY CONVENTION.
BRYAN AND HILL NOMINATED.
IG to 1 Made an Issue.


--latest by wire.l
William Jennings Bryan, of Ne.
braska, is again to head the Demo
cratic ticket So said the delegates
to the Kansas City Convention We'd
nesday David b. Hill, of New
York, takes second place on ticket.
with these two men the Democrats
VIII put up strong fight and
chances are that Mckinley and
Roosevelt will not have walk-over
10y any means.
Bryan was practically dictator and
MS wishes is respect to Free Silver
were carried out, the l6 to plank
being embodied in the platform.
The Democratic National Conven-
ton of 1900 met Wednesday at noon
ia Kansas City and was called to order
10y Chairman Jones.
The South aud some of the more
important Western States, such as
California, Oregon aud Washington
are strongly opposed to more than a
general party adherence to the Chi
cago platform. The leaders from
these States feel that the issues raised
by the Spanish war and the growth of
trusts are more important and should
be given the more prominent place.
There is considerable opposition to
the l6 to plank, but BRYAN has
stated that unless this is included in
the platform he will not accept the
nomination.
1t has been said that the opposition
to the declara ton for 10 to l may de-
velop so strongly as to force Mr.. Bryan
to compromise or forego the nomina-
ton. The latter is hardly possible,
but 1T shows the trend of opinion.
vIRGINIA's DELEGATION.
While the Virginia delegation re-
fused Tuesday to formally express it's
position as regards the platform and
vlce-Presidential candidates, after
careful poll Tuesday night, it was
found that every member is opposed
to an explicit declaration for free coin
age. A general reafiirmation of the
Chicago platform is desired.
This is the position of Senator
Daniel, who was chosen to represent
Virginia in the Committee on resolu-
tons. lie declares he is opposed to
any declaration which could be con-
strued as a retraction of anything de-
clared for at Chicago in 1896, but he
wants that platform reaffirmed and
strong declarations made upon fresh
er questions.
FIGHTING FOR VICE PRESIDENT.
There are several applicants
for the Vice Presidency. Hill, of
New York, has declined and the Dem
ocrats of that state have endorsed
Jno. w. Kellar Virginia wants
Lewis +. Nixon, of New York, but
originally of this State.
NOTES.
The women are represented by a
prominent member of the sex, Miss
Phoebe Nj. Cousins, at one time
leader of the female suffragists, now
an ardent devotee of BRYAN. She
discusses anti-imperialism, militia
rism and colonization and is especi-
ally aggressiveon the question of the
alleged Anglo-Americau alliance.
She expects to make an address
before the convention closes.

ANOTHER STRANGE ASSAULT.
Dunlap McAdams, Bangor, in Boston Hospital,
Suffering from Injuries.

Boston, June PA policeman found
young man, who later gave his name
as Dunlap McAdams, 16 years old, of
"a South street, Bangor, Maine. about
80 this evening. sitting upon "A seat in
the Charles Bank park, in an uncon-
scious condition, and sent him to the
hospital. On the way the lad had sew
eral spasms, and seemed to be suffer
ing considerable pain.
When he recovered consciousness he
said that he had come from New Lon
don, Conn. during the day, and in the
afternoon hired a boat and went out
rowing on the Charles river. While
on the river he collided with another
boat in which We're two young men,
who threatened to pay him for it.
When he returned to the landing he
says the two were waiting for him and
assaulted him. Further than this he
knows nothing and in fact his whole
story is disconnected and crude.
The hospital authorities cannot de-
termine as yet, the exact nature of his
injuries, as there are no external marks
of violence, but he may be suffering
from a ruptured blood vessel or some
other internal injuries.
Young McAdams further said that he
and his father were shipwrecked off
Cape Hatteras, some time ago, and
that his father was drowned

In regard to his aSSailant. From what he
told the police, they have no doubt but
Champion, the man who is now at AL

with the murder of the Goodwin family
at West Ncwficld Me. Is the man who
assaulted the boy on the day he left the
vessel.
1t will be remembered that the boy was

South End together on the Thursday be-
lore he was found.
left the wharf with him Is the man who
assailed him and that before the affair
happened the man suggested that he go
to RoXhury and secure work in mill.
II will be remembered that Champion,
when he was arrested, charged with the
murder of the Goodwin family, said that
the boy left him at his corner Of North
ampton and Washington streets, saying
that he was going to Roxbury.
Friday. when word came from the hos
pital authorities that the boy could talk,
Capt. DuSan with d stenOgrapher, went
to the hospital. Young Poole said:
''At the wharf where the schooner un-
loaded met u man who said he would
get me a job. | told him | was tired of
the sea. He said he would get me po-
sition in mill in Roxbury. ! asked him
when. and he said If | would go with him
he would get it then.
The man was quite tall. dark had
small moustache.
After leaving the wharf he took me
to restaurant and had dinner.

After We had ridden some distance he
asked me to get off the car. We got OFF.
There were trees and bushes. 1t was like
a small grove We walked a short
ways
The boy rubbed his eyes, tried hard to
recall what happened then, but could
not, and said:
That's all ! remember. ! knew moth
ing more until | awoke up here and saw
the doctors and nurses standing around.
Very few questions were asked the boy.
The captain did not want to suggest any
ing to him. He wanted him to tell his
own story without knowledge of what
has occurred during the month he has
might have brought the entire story out.
but in justice to the prisoner it would
not be fair.
TIE boy was asked II he could tell
where the restaurant was Or describe it
in any way. but this he could not do.
Robbery was the motive of the crime"
said Chief Watts. The boy had gotten
his earnings on board the schooner. II
