The Work is ACCOMPLISHED.

.
the history of political conventions in
the United States There was gener-
al agreement on the platform and 1t
expresses the Hottest sentiments of
true Americanism and will find lodg-
ment in the quickened cOnScienCeS OF
/ the people. 1t is d platform that will
| inspire confidence in the integrity OF
its trainers and along all lines it pro-
claims that the Democratic party IS
awake to the great issues OF the times.
Mr. Bryan too, viii be regarded as
a SaneT and safer man than he was
twelve and eight years ago, and in
truth ne has made wonderful develop
ment during these years of stirring
activity.
Since his first nomination Mr. BTy-
an has visited every state in the Amer
lean union and has made a tour of the
world, making government his chief
study, and had he been less, intellec-
tual and less receptive than he Is he
must have made wonderful develop
ment He has made his impress upon
the people Of all nations, and nowhere
have his teachings been more accept
able than in the ranks of the opposing
party, and what was spurnCd twelve
years ago as dangerous doctrines,
subversive of our institutions, has al
most become the chief stone of the
corner in the temple of the Republi-
can party. Mr.. Taft is even wearing
Mr. BTyan'S garments as his own.
Mr.. Bryan'S private character is
spOtIess and the people in all sections
are almost persuaded TO accept him
at his real worth, and he now has the
ear of the American people as never
before.
The changed conditions in business
going on in parties make Mr.. Bryan'S
election not only possible, but prob
able.
Let's all get on thek wagon and
spread the enthusiasm that was so
magnificently displayed at Denver.
Let there be no falteTing. no back
biting. no chickering's, no faint-hearted-
ness, no prophecies of evil but let
every Democrat he 4 live coal of en-
thUsiasm. so much so that he viii
throw out warmth UQtil the whole
country becomes a bonfire of Demo
cratic enthusiasm--Oca Banner

At an early hour today w J. Bryan

to victory as presidential candidate.
The nomination was made on the first
ballot This was not unexpected. as
the conclusion was fOregOne that he
was the choice of the party as its
standard bearer
