ENTHUSIASTIC DEMOCRACY
Stirring Scenes at the Denver Con-
VentiOn Described.

men from Europe had come to see it.
They marveled. They We're astound-
ed. They cheered, they sang, they
wept with emotional enthusiasm as
did the loyal thousands. 1t was
mighty to behold. American to the
core, and the cheers were heard
around the world
The selection of John w. Kern of
Indiana, Bryan's running mate, was
more commonplace in comparison, al
though it showed the lung power
and the enthusiasm of the convention
had not exhausted.
AS l write the story here, crowds
in upon my mind myriads of
incidents that ordinarily would be
worth reading, but SO paramount
is the impression made by the I'M
precedented exhibition of relenting
enthusiasm that mere incidents appear
insignificant. 1t was what might best
of all success be called a bowling sue
cess. The cohorts came to name a
man, and they named him. They
came with tributes to a twice defeated
candidate, and they placed them at
his feet. They crowned him with lau-
rels, and if the leaven which was
stirred into a riot of fermentation
in Denver loses not its SAVIOR, there
will be something doing next Novem-
Der. Bryan was selected by acclama-
ton after few rounds of strong sup
port for Johnson Kern met hard op-
position in Towne of New York, John
Mitchell of Illinois and other candi-
dates; but by TONNES own act he
threw the support that was standing
by him over to Kern, and the conven-
ton was at an end
A Sea of surging Humanity.
Like the great waves of the restless
ocean, now dashing against the rocks
and shoals of the shore; now reflux-
surging in the strong winds of a
mighty storm, rocked and pulsated
with human animation, sat the great
sea of humanity in Convention hall at
the opening of the convention. Voices
of 10000 souls buzzed and hummed
Gnu SioohOu. II Woo q oPCCIdSlC,
fraught with enthusiasm and expec-
fancy, that one would long remember.
They were waiting-those thousands
of joyous, yet sanguine spectators
waiting to hear the gavel fall upon
the marble slab at the chairman s
stand.
And then at last it came-rap, rap
rap-but no heed was given. The
| chairman of the national committee
| stern and determined in features, hello
| aloft his hands and would have quiet
ude. But none came. The band il
the balcony struck up a tune, but the
, humming and buzzing of voices ceased
not. The tension of anticipation oil
what would or would not happen was
too tightly drawn, and the handspring
that impelled the human tongue tt
wag was not yet run down.
Thus it was for nearly an hour
not an obstreperous audience, wild
and hilarious, but an audience thai
was getting acquainted with itself
buzizng, humming, swaying, and good
| natured. But it was to have it's visit
| out, and the time came for restoration
| of order-and it was had.

Hobson Gets a Frost.

How different from the demonstra
ton at the afternoon session was tha
at the night session. Another mar
was upon the platform.
Richmond P Hobson of Alabama---h
of Spanish bravery and kissing popu
larity-was invited to the rostrum.
Hobson had some good ideas but he
was too long in getting to them. He
predicted war with Japan, and his
prediction was met with vigorous dis
approval. He wanted to talk about {
better navy, but the altitude was too
dry for the audience to listen to it
They were too far from water-and, il
their minds, too far from war Bu
Hobson is persistent. He would no

said he had talked with President
Roosevelt a week ago and that the
president expressed his belief that the
United States would have war Will

There were cries of NO" NO" al
over the convention hall. Hobson trieC

He lifted his clinched hands above his
lead in defiance, but the frost was or

chance for the captain. Kisses began
buzzing over the great hall, and moi
until Chairman Bell threatened tt
clear the balconies was peace restored
Hobson soon closed. 1t was cruelty
pathetic. Brave, noble Hobson-hero
of war-hissed and insulted in his
party's convention. Maybe the audi
ence is not to be judged. 1t was there
to hear of the commoner, and not OF
war. 1t perhaps loved Hobson for the
heroic deeds he had done, but it didn't
want him now. Bryan was the one
mantle one theme-and courtesy
was thrown to the winds.

when anointed with the liquid of in

moner, in his workshop at Fairview,
quartered, sliced and laid the bits upon
the drying board he knew those quar-
tiers and slices were impregnated with
the germ of enthusiasm, only waiting
the touch of a finger or the breath of

tell them different. Who ever heard

Theodore Bell Sounds Keynote.
When Temporary Chairman Theo-
dore Bell of California took the reins
of the convention in his hands he soon
came to the realization that he was
not pulling the ribbons over any tame
steed. He smiled and looked solemn
in quick succession. His speech was
the keynote of the campaign that is to
come. OF this speech Col. Bob Taylor
of Tennessee said:
1T was the grandest portrayal of
Democratic principles | ever heard"
Rap after rap was handed the pres-
dent, and then he said: The people
built the White House and elected one
man at time. Under the law no man
can transfer his personal property"

and claws. THE tariff must not be

nopolies in robbing the American peo-
pie he said, and the audience said
amen. He said the Republicans had
promised many things that they had
forgotten after the votes were counted
They had promised the election of
United States senators by direct vote
OF the people, but that "the long dis
lance between the ballot box and the
senate gave the promised relief too
long a time to daily with the cor
porate powers" and it was reduced to
a phantom when it reached the White
House. Bell wanted an exclusion act
that would not only keep the China
men out, but one that would exclude
other Asiatic immigrants

"A Little One Grown Up,

So far the convention had not
shown any material difference from
the ordinary country convention, ex-
cept that it was grown up. Enthusi-
asm was always on tap; but even that

the road supervisor is to be named.
There was the routine of business
the appointing of committees, the
drafting of resolutions, the settling

little home conventions; but it was
