DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
For President.
WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN,
OF Nebraska.
For Vice President,
JUDGE JOHN W. KERN,
of Indiana.

The democratic convention
held a; Denver this week was one
of the most notable assemblies
of recent years by reason of its
work and its personnel. The Bit
ter dissensions SO freely predicted
by republicans were absent and
an unparalleled unanimity of pur-
pose was present instead. The
platform received the careful at
tcntiou 1t should have and. as a
consequence. u IS an outspoken
declaration on the issues before
the people which will meet the
approval OF all except the Inter
csts" that seek to prosper by con-
troll of party leaders. John Mitch
ell. the acknowledged leader
of organized labor. expresses his
unqualified approval of it We
shall give it to our readers. next
week that they may see for them
selves what a contrast there is be
tween i, and the shuffling. indi-
rect and indefinite declaration Of
the republican convention at
Chicago. The convention showed
that democracy is united as never
before for many years. With
candidates whose sincerity is un-
questioned and a platform direct
and inequivocal in its terms the
road 10 victory is wide open.
We presume that most of our
readers had long before the con-
vention become convinced that
Mr.. Bryan the Peerless Leader,
would again be the candidate,
but possibly the wild howl of
shalf dozen malcontents who want
the party bound firmly to
the corporation band-wagon
may have created the impression
that he would be nominated only
after fight. The facts develop
that he is. after being twice de-
fcated. the strongest man in a
convention since Washington.
The opposition was so weak as to
be scarcely worth the name
Bryan received substantially all
the votes and those that were cast
against him were instantly trans
ferred to his column on Deleware's
motion. Judge John w. Kern. of
Indiana, is named as his running
mate. The team is simply FIRST
class in every particular. Bryan.

IN CAMP AT CHlCAMAUGA.
Troops to Spend Month On Historic
Grounds.

ATLANTA, Ca, July 1.-The quarter
of million dollar encampment which
congress determined should be held at
Chickamauga park this year begins to-
day, and already many troops are in
camp on the historic ground.
The encampment is to last only a
month this year. This is due to wisdom
learned three years ago. Then it was
proposed to have a three months en-
campment but before the end of the
general WEAKNESS of everybody brought
it to premature close.
Altogether 10000 troops will be quar-
tered at Chickamauga during the en-
campment, but never more than 5000 at
one time. The encampment this year
Will be very similar to the one of two
years ago. except that more time will
be given to the solving of tactical prob
lens and less to drilling.
