Ever since 1896 the Democratic par

considered use of injunctions7 and has
been insisting on the right of fair trial
in all cases of constructive contempts.
The Republican party has been avoid

have passed a law prescribing, def1n-

We're announced to be in order by
Chairman Clayton. Ignatius ]. 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:
Every people that has left its impress
upon history has faced crises.
In most instances where grave dangers
have threatened the safety of the state
some great character, some master mind,
has been found, produced, as 1t were, by
the conditions themselves with capacity
to direct Alright the energies of the peo-
pie. This was true OF the ancient world.
1t has been true of the modern world. 1t
is true of this republic. We have such a
crisis to meet today. The favor seeking
corporations have gradually strengthen ned
their hold upon the government until they
now menace popular institutions.
The question is whether this govern
ment shall be restored to the control of
the people and be administered in the in

an instrument in the hands of the few
for levying tribute upon all the rest.

winter President Roosevelt declared sub
stantially that certain wealthy men who
have become enormously rich by Cypress
ing the wage Garner, 'defrauding the pub
lie and practicing all forms of 1niquity
have banded together and by the unlim-
tied use of money endeavor to secure
freedom from restraint and to overthrow
and discredt all who honestly administer
the law.
The methods by which these men
have acquired their great fortunes can
only be justified by system of morality
that would permit every form of GRIM
inality. every form of violence, corrup-
ton and fraud
For many years and especially during
the last twelve years these very men have
been In control Of the Republican party.
They have financed every campaign of
that party for quarter Of a century.
These exploiters Of the people whom the
president has so scathingly denounced
have given their enthusiastic support to
the Republican candidates and policies.

Fairyiew, Lincoln, Neb., July
10.-The following statement was
made by William j. Bryan when

received announcement of his
nomination as the candidate of
the Democratic party for presi
dent:
"Tho presidency is the highest
official position in the world, and
no ono occupying it can afford to
have his views upon public CUES
tions biased by personal ambi
ton. Recognizing his RESPONSE
bility to God and his obligation
to his eountrymen, he should en-
ter upon the discharge Of his
duties with singIeness of pur-
pose. Believing that ono can
best do this when he is not plan
ming for second term, J an
nounce now, as have on for
mer occasions, that if elected !
shall not be candidate for re-
election.
"This~is nomination as pure
, ly from the people as can be, and
If electsd my obligation will be
as purely to the people. appre-
! ciate the honor the more because
it came not from one person or

him that seemed alive. His voice was
cold, his face expressionless. his eyes
unchanging In their. steady blackness,
but his hands were vibrant. Their ges-
lures were literal speech. All impulse
which he had banished from bis

tered in his hands.

at him that he was the incarnation Of

unconsciously for six years. It was

Then she fed to meet the young art
list, hurrying to answer her call.

sensational advance in Missouri Pacific
and the response by sympathy of the
whole Gould group was the effective me-
attempt towards a rally. Mysterious al

railroad enterprises involving financial
support from the wealthiest American
capitalists made ZIP the motive power of
this movement. The news to account for
the break in prices was of a similarly
shadowy kind. The particular weakness
of American Smelling was due to implied

breaking, sentiment showed some sensi-
