Mr.. BRYAN'S STATEMENT.

Falrvlew, Lincoln, Neb.. July
1O.-The following statement was
made by William j. Bryan when
at 4 "a o'clock this morning he
received announcement of his
nomination as the candidate OF
the Democratic party for presi-
dent:
"Thc 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
bility to God and his obligation
to his countrymen, he should en-
ter upon the discharge Of his
duties with singIeness of pur-
pose. Believing that one can
best do this when he is not plan
ming for a second term, an
nounce now, as ! have on for
mer occasions, that IL elected
shall not be a candidate for re-
election.
This is a nomination as pure
ly from the people as can be, and
II elected my obligation will be
as purely to the people. ! appre-
ciate the honor the more because
II came not from one person or
a few persons, but from the rank
and file, acting freely and with
out compulsion.
." am very much pleased with
the platform. II is clear, specific
and strong, and ! am grateful to
the committee for the work that
they have done in stating the
issues. ! am sure the platform
will greatly strengthen US in the
fight we are entering"

Guffey's opponents claimed that he
was in league with the Republican or
ganization in Pennsylvania and that he
procured hundreds of Republicans to
vote at Democratic primaries.
Prior TO the vote on the Guffey mat
ter occurred the sensational speech of
Captain Richmond +. Hobson of Ala
bama, in which he stated that Presi-
dent Roosevelt feared war with Japan
MY countrymen, my message is
nearly through" said Mr.. Hobson aft
er he had spoken about twenty min
utes. A cry of amen" sent a gale of
laughter over the hall.
81 want to say to you" went on Mr.
Hobson, gritting his teeth in determi-
nation. that not so very long ago the
president of the United States said In
my presence, There exists the greatest
probability of war with Japan"
President Roosevelt later, at Oyster
Bay, N. Y, issued signed statement
denying that he had ever made any
such remark.
Thursday. July 0, was also marked
by two sessions, the night session con-
tnuing over into Friday morning.
when In he "wee sma'" hours Bryan
was nominated for the third time as
candidate for the greatest and most
influential Office among the powers of
the earth. The taking up of Mr.. Bells
battered gavel by the permanent chair
man, Congressman Henry ID. Clayton
OF Alabama. and his excellent speech
in which he said. This is a Democratic

Tense excitement prevailed when
the convention came to order at the
evening session. The most important
work of the week was to be per
formed. The platform would be read

mated before the delegates left the hall.
On every side there was but one name
mentioned. and that the name OF

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 q 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 affiict
the country at the present time is
the abuse Of 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-
litical 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.
1.-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
to enjoy the rewards to which his pa
thence, his skill, his industry and his
economic station entitle him. Against
the evils of special privilege we urge
the benefits OF equal opportunity, in
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 a large scale, but it is unal-
terably opposed to monopoly In pro-
duction. 1t Is easier to prevent mo-
nopoly than Ii is to control il after
being established. The withdrawal Of
special privileges will take away the
meat upon which the trusts are fed
II this be followed by a 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 Mr.. Bell had concluded. Judge
Parker arose to offer his much talked
of resolution In memory Of Grover
Cleveland. He cried, "Mr. Chairman"
"The chairman recognizes Mr. Dunn
of Nebraska" said Mr.. Bell. and II
was seen that Ignatius J. Dunn of Ne
braska. who was to nominate Bryan.
was standing In front Of the chairman.

Disgraceful Scenes At Springfield Are
Probably Over.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Aug. lo-
Convinced that the danger Of re-

Deneen last night ordered home the
First and Fourth Regiments of Illi-
nois militia. There still remain 1000
troops to keep watch over the city
Private Joseph B. Klein of Com

First regiment who regrets the end
of the field service. AS soon as his
active service ends he will be liable
to arrest and trial in the civil courts
at Kankakee on a charge Of murder,
the result Of the fatal stabbing of Earl
Nelson. 1t is possible attorney Cen
eral Stead will defend Klein. An at
tempt may be made to arrest Klein
when the train passes through Kanka-
kee on the way to Chicago.

Miss Hattie Wise, daughter Of

Queen Of the Regatta of the year
1908.
There was veritable shower Of
votes for Miss Wise at the very last
minute last night, and when the count
was taken it was found that she had
won with the splendid showing Of
81,208 votes. Miss Kate Shively was
second in the contest, and she made
the most excellent showing of 51,652
votes, result that any young lady
might be we'll proud of. These two
young ladies' were SO far in the lead
of all the others that there was really

several days past there seemed to be
an indehnable feeling in the air that
the contest was to be between the two
whose names so easily led all the
rest
Friends Of both the young ladies
were in attendance at the vote in

subdued excitement in the air. A

Olympic Athletes, However, Are Still

Jones and Matt Halpin, who were ap-
pointed a committee to arrange for
the speedy return Of the American
Olympic Athlete now in Europe, have
Icabled Lawson Robertson to return
