Mr.. Dunn spoke as Sollows:
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen of the
Convention:-"Crises arise in the life
Of nations which endanger their insti
tutions and, at times, imperil the ad.
vance of civilization.
Every people that has left its i'm

dangers have threatened the safety o

master mind has been found, produce

The question is, whether this gov.

Garner, defrauding the public and
9spfacticing all forms Of iniQuity, have
banded together, and by the unlimited
use Of money, endeavored to secure
freedom from restraint and to over

That the methods by which these
men have acquired their great for

!, every form of crjminality, every form
of violence, corruption and fraud.
For many years, and especially dur.
ing the: last twelve years, these very
men have been in control OF, the Re.

every campaign of that party for a
quarter Of a century. These exploit.
ers of the people whom the President
has so scathingly denounced, have CIV

Republican candidatse and policies.
They laid their hands upon the trust

much? Just where we would expect
to find them-supporting the Repub.

The platform adopted by the late
convention shows what in truth the
Republican party represents. AL
though controlled by the friends Of
Roosevelt and Taft, in framing the
platform every genuine reform which
Roosevelt has advocated. was scornei

There seems to be good deal of
gaiety among the old driving horses
this summer. The horse that Mr.. and
Mrs. VIII Merritt drive got in a hur-
ry yesterday evening, whirled around
and threw Mr.. and Mrs. Merritt out
of the buggy, bruising them up severe
ly. The buggy was somewhat dam
aged. The accident happened near
their home on First street. Better
watch your horses when an old. gentl

abandoned his efforts. The state
standards were again being carried
to the rostrum amid deafening cheers
After one hour and twelve minutes
cheering, the convention was again
In order at 1921.
One feature of the demonstration
never before part of any national
convention, was that the greater part
Of the cheering and uproar was dis.
tinctly heard by the candidate at his
home five hundred miles away. A
telephone to which wires had been
attached was mounted on a huge meg
aphone and placed In the hall. MIR.
Bryan at his home at Fairview, heard
the wild cheering.
Hon. Winfield Scott Hammond, Of
Minnesota, placed Governor Johnson
In nomination at 1850 p. nj. The
speech nominating Governor Johnson
evoked great cheering for Minneso-
ta's candidate, lasting nine minutes.
At 1880 the resolutions committee
reported that it would soon be ready
to submit its report to the conven.
tion, and Immediately after the adop-
tion Of the platform a vote will be
taken on a candidate for president.
At IL o'clock, midnight, the commit.
tee on resolutions and platform made
its report, and the platform was adop.
ted by the convention at 1886 a. m.
After the platform was adopted, the
convention proceeded to ballot on a
candidate for President. On the first
ballot Mr.. Bryan was declared nom-
mated, and on motion the nomination
was made unanimous. The conven-
tion then took a recess until 1 o..
clock, p. m. Friday.

clock, p. m. Friday.
Convention Hall, Denver, July 10
William Jennings Bryan was nomi-
mated for the third time for the offic
Of president Of the United States by
the National Convention at three-fort,
this morning amid scenes of frenzied
enthusiasm. The result came after
an all night session, which kept in co
slant turmoil up to the elimination
moment, when the Nebraska leader
was proclaimed the choice of the con-
vention as the Democratic standard
'bearer. The nomination was made
on the first and only ballot the vote
standing, Bryan eight hundred and
ninety-two and one half, Johnson fort
six, Gray fifty-nine and one-half. The
announcement of the vote was the sig
nal for wild demonstration, equaling
in turbulence, If not in duration, the
record-breaking display which on Wed
nesday afternoon greeted the first
mention of Bryan's name in the con-
vention. The scene within the ampi-
theatre at the moment the nomination
was made was one Of stirring anima-
ton. From pit to dome the vast built
ing was packed with ten thousand
people, thinned out in the remoter
galleries by hours of waiting and the
intense discimforts of the hot night.
1t was a spectacle Of grandiose pro-
portions. Tier on tier, and gallery
on gallery Of animated forms, the
women in white, the delegates mass
ed below, many of them coatless,
myriad of fans fluttering to combat
the stifling heat and close atmospher
Of this long pent up, exuberant null
titude, and everywhere blaze of
flags, bunting, and patriotic devices,
and enveloplng folds of Old Glory.
Twice before the throng had been
moved into mad ecstacy, first by the
speech placing the name of Bryan in
nomination, and again when that Of
Governor Johnson was proposed, but
these manifestations paled in the cul-
minating outburst of emotion. AS
the announcement of the Nebraskan's
actual nomination was made, the en-
tire assemblage arose in a mass, wav
ing flags, handkerchiefs, newspapers,
hats and coats, anything and every-
thing which hands could lay upon to
wave aloft or hurl into the air, while
bedlam of sound poured out from
these ten thousand throats in exu-
liant yells, cat calls, Comanche war
whoops, which added to the din Of
shrieking horns, and strains Of bands
playing exulant anthems. When for
moment order was restored out Of
this tempestuonus chaos Of dehnonstrs
tion, state after state which had at
first recorded its vote for Gray or for
Johnson, fell into line with the over
mastering column and the nomination
was made unanimous by acclamation
The taking Of the vote had been fol
lowed with breathless interest as stat
after state swelled Bryan's strength
When New York was reached the am
nouncement Of Chief Murphy "Sevent
eight for Bryan" brought out a wild
; outburst Of enthusiastic applause, ant

FARMERS SHOULD
USE PROBATION
All Grass Seeds Liable to
AGulteration.

Farmers should take more than Or
binary precaution in purchasing grass
and clover seed to ascertain wi at
they are getting. Hardly a grass seed
but is liable to adulteration with some
cheaper seed closely resembling it, and
the greatest danger to the farmer lies
in the fact that with the adulteration
may come some nOXious weed which
will cause endless trouble and work
for the future. It is almost impossi-
bic to tell the difference between Glow
err seed and the worthless yellow ire
foil seed with which clover is largely
adulterated by INSCRIPTIONS dealers.
The seed testing laboratory of the gov
eminent at Washington has samples
of large lots of clover seed sent out by
dealers which contain as h:gh as So

Man needs food and plenty of it to sus-

In this busy world.
It IS not, however, the fact that you
may eat too much that hurts you, but
that you don't digest what you eat.
And II that results In dyspepsia you will not

were then employed in working up

of officers appointed for the purpose.
