platform to the convention the rules
were suspended by motion Of Ollie
James, and nominations for president
were announced to be In order by
Chairman Clayton. Ignatlus J. Dunn
of Omaha, warm personal friend OF
Bryan, rose TO nominate his fellow Ne
braskan, and he performed his office
In decidedly strong and effective
speech. In the course OF his address
Mr. Dunn said:

Mr.. BRYAN'S STATEMENT.

i Fairview, Lincoln, Neb., July
! 1o.-The following statement was
/ made by William j. Bryan when
/ at 4;34 o'clock this morning he
received announcement of his
! nomination as the candidate Of
the Democratic party for presl-
. dent:
. "Tho presidency is the highest
official position in the world, and
no one occupying it can afford to
. have his views upon public ques-
tions biased by personal ambi.
ton. Recognizing his RESPONSE
. biIity to God and his obligation
to his countrymen, he should en-
ter upon the discharge of his
. duties with sineleness of pur-
pose. Believing that one can
best do this when he is not plan
) ming for second term, an
nounce now, as have on for
mer occasions, that If elected
shall not be candidate for re-
election.
"This is nomination as pure.

morning session.
Clayton on Injunetions.
Chairman clayton paid particular
stress on the Injunction question, say.
ing:
Ever since 1896 the Democratic par

been insisting on the right of fair trial
In all cases OF constructive eontempts.
The Republican party has been avoid

to secure greater effectiveness in the
prosecution of criminal monopolies.
We did not add a single line to the In
terstate commerce law, giving the federal
government supervision over the Issues
Of stocks and bonds by interstate car
riers.
We did not enact a currency measure
that would mitigate the evils of finan-
cial panic such as has recently distracted
the country under a Republican admins
tration.
We did not limit the opportunities for
abusing the writ Of injunction.
We did not establish postal savings
banks.
we did not establish a bureau Of mines
and mining.
We did not admit into the Union the ter
ritories of New Mexico and Arizona as
separate states
As to Corporations.
On the subject Of corporations Mr.
Bell said:
"Among the great evils that atlict
the country at the present time Is
the abuse CT corporate power. AT
first the advancing aggressions OF
the corporations are not discernible to
the common eye, for every move Is
carefully covered up until sufficient po'
lltical strength Is attained to defy the
protests OF the people.
"Whenever the mutterings of the
people become too threatening the cry
of confiscation goes up, and appeals
are frantically made to the sacred
rights of property. The cry of con
fscation is the historic defense OF
usurpation. Let the people take warn
ing. Whenever the wrongs of today
become the vested rights of tomorrow
the nation Is in deadly peril.
"The Democratic party is not the
enemy of property. but, to the con
trary, 1t has always stood and will
continue to stand firmly against every
species Of aggression that would de-
stroy or weaken the right Of any man
70 enjoy the rewards to which his pa.
tience, his skill, his industry and bis
economic station entite him. Against
the evils of special privilege we urge

order that there may be more land
owners, more homes and more happi'
ness among the masses.
Prison For Directors.
"Our party is not opposed to produc'
ton on large scale. but 1t Is unal'
terably opposed to monopoly IN pro
duc,ion. 1t Is easier to prevent mo
nopoly than 1t Is to control 1t after
being established. The withdrawal Of
spesial privileges will take away the
meat upon which the trusts are fed
n this be followed by criminal pros
ecution and an imprisonment OF the
directors and officers of the guilty cor
porations. monopoly will be shorn Of
many Of its terrors."
After MIR. Bell had concluded, Judge
Parker arose to offer bis much talked

MOVES TO SAVANNAH.
Headquarters Of Central Of Georgia
r. r. Is to Be Located There.

Major J f. Hanson, president of
the Central oi Georgia railway. has
decided to keep his Offices and the
Headquarters of the company in Ma
icon until the hrsAof October at least.
For some time change has been con
templated and IL was practically ar
ranged that a transfer OF the offices
to Savannah should be made Tho
change was to take place on July I.
However, it was decided on Tuesday
to remain in Macon during the sum
mer months, after which, unless there
is a further change in plans and con
ditions the change win be made.
The removal Of the headsIuarteas of
the Central Of Georgia Will not affect
Macon employees, as only the pres-
dents office. force win be moved
However it is felt that a great deal
OF prestige will be taken away from
the Macon end on the system. and
that this city will lose some Of the
importance it now holds in the rail-
road world.
1t was recently reported that the
Central offices would be taken to AL
lanta, but this idea has never baen
considered. When the transfer is
made. Savannah will be the head
quarters.
