The Democratic vanguard is Falstaff army It is let Ss knight arrayed in a motley of modified professions and com promised principles, of altered opinions and retracted statements.
 Assuming that Mir Bryan himself is all that his most ardent admirers claim him to be-a great lawyer, an enlightened statesman, an inspired patriot-still a man is known by the company he keeps and no decent Democxas can tolerate his free companions.
 Backers of Old Parties Pirates.
 Back of both parties and underwriting each are there Captain Kidds of indus try, those highwaymen of high finance. who realize that to plunder safely the peoples purse they must first possess the peoples government.
 I urge our party to take a broad and liberal stand toward the legitimate busi- ness enterprises of the country, but to distinguish between honest business ev- anywhere and those criminal concerns which thunder through political pull and pay for political protection. We all want prosperity, and, what is more, we want prosperity for all.
 urge our party. therefore, to be intel ligently and courageously constructive. not merely obstructive like the Republic an party nor destructive like the Demo- cratic party.
 The Republican platform says nothing and means nothing.
 r. It is a platform of statistical inven- tions and political evasions.
 It is obviously the product of party whose sole purpose is to stand pat and whose sole desire is to stay pat.
 The Democratic platform contains some good and original things; but, as has been said the original things are not good, and the good things are not original.
 The committee on rules and perma- nent organization, which met imme- diately after the convention, selected Charles A. Walsh of Iowa as perma- nent chairman and adopted rule that no speech from the platform should exceed five minutes in length and that no delegate should be heard on one subject more than once.
 The committee on resolutions organ ized by electing Howard S. Taylor of Chicago as chairman. A long debate followed on the question of whether the platform should be considered by the committee as a whole or by a sub- committee The committee commenc- ed active work by considering large number of blanks and deciding on what subjects they wished to make declarations. It was understood that when the list of subjects had been completed the task of forming the platform proper would be turned over to a subcommittee which was to re- port to the full committee.

Boom For Washington.

Ol Otuctc. IucIc IS llttit II duN uis- cussion of vice presidential candidates.
 Boom For Washington.
 The New York delegation contains a man for whom boom has been start. ed. This is Richard D. H. Washing ton, a strapping six foot three ath- lete, who is said to be descended from the family of George Washington. He modestly declared that he did not want the nomination, but did not say he would not take it.
 The opening of the convention in Orchestra hall was spectacular and impressive. There was quite as much enthusiasm as characterized the initial session of the Republican convention here.
 The hall was crowded to the doors, the four galleries showing patches of color contributed by the dresses of women. Mir. Hearst and bis follow CTS had formed an attractive setting for the launching of their party. There were flags everywhere. Banking the walls of the domelike stage were clus- ters of the national colors. forming a background for Autograph portraits of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson.
 These were the only portraits in the hall. Every man and woman had a shield shaped fan of the national col ors. Pretty nearly all of them had small hand flags as well
 The delegates were seated in the reg uIar parquet chairs. the states being indicated by standards. Massachusetts. Indiana, New York, Ohio and Cali fornia held front rows clear across the hall There were no territorial stand ards A very good brass band in the gallery played patriotic airs and the ever popular Dixie"
 Cheers For Party Leaesra
 When the band was not working the delegates and galleries were. The dele gates came into the hall in a body. fil- ing through the crowd of 5000 people who jammed the streets in front of the convention hall and down the two aisIes splitting the parquet. their state banners above their heads. When the delegates were seated they cheered each other. called for salutes for Mir. Hearst and some of the best known figures in the Independence movement. The scholarly Brisbane. the diminutive Shearn and Richard b. H. Washington came in for cheers.
 The address of Mir Hearst as tenn porary chairman was cheered with wild enthusiasm He spoke in part as fol- lows:
