Democratic Nominees for President
and Vice President-
SIXTEEN TO ONE FOR SILVER.
The Platform Scores the Present
Administration on Imperialism
and Expansion.
Kansas City, July 5. —Wm. J.
Bryan, of Nebraska was tonight
unanimously placed in nomination
as the democratic nominee for
president of the United States, on
a platform opposing imperialism,
militarism and trusts and speci
fieially declaring for the free coin
age 01 siver at the ratio of 16 to 1.
The nomination came as the cul
mination of a frenzied demonstra
tion in honor of the party leader
lasting twenty-seven minutes and
giving utterance to all the pent-up
emotions ot the vast multitude.
It followed, also, a fierce strug
gle throughout the last thirty-six
XIOUIS VOilCcl iiing liiC pidltvi Ui UCv
laration of silver and the relative
position which the silver question
is to maintain to the other great
issues of the day.
It wa; late this afternoon when
the convention was at last face to
face with the presidential nomina
tion Early in the day there had
been tedious delays due to inablity
of the platform committee to re
concile their differences and pres
ent a report. Until this was ready
the convention managers beguiled
the time by putting forward speak
ers of more or less prominence to
keep the vast audience from be
coming restless.
THK NOMINATION.
The first session, beginning at
io o’clock this morning, was en
tirely fruitless of results, *nd it was
not until late in the afternoon,
when the second session had be
gun, that the platform committee
was at last able to report an agree
ment. Already its main features,
embodying the 16 to i proposition,
had come to the delegates and
thene was little delay in giving it
unanimous approval. This ie
moved the last chance for an open
rupture and left the way clear for
the supreme event of the day—the
nomination of the presidential can
didate. The vast auditoiium was
filled to its utmost capacity when
the moment arrived for the nomina
tion to be made. When the call
of states began, for the purpose of
placing candidates in nomination,
Alabama yielded its place at the'
head of the list to Nebraska, and
Oldham of that state made his way
to the platform to place Mr. Bryan
in nomination. The orator was
strong-voiced and entertaining,and
yet to the waiting delegates and
spectators there was but one point
to his speech, and that was the
stirring peroration which closed
with the name of W. J. Bryan.
This was the signal for the demon
stration of the day, and in a com
mon purpose the great concourse
joined in a tribute of enthusiastic
devotion to the p. rty leader. A
huge oil portrait of Bryan, measur
ing fifteen feet across, was brought
down the main aisle before the
delegates. At the same time the

I standards of the state delegations
weie torn from their sockets and
j waved on high, while umbrellas of
| red and blue, silk banners of the
j several states and many handsome
I and unique transparencies were
i borne about the building amid the
deafening clamor of 20,000 yelling,
gesticulating men and women.
All of the intensity of former
; demonstrations and much more
I was added to this final tribute to
| the leader.
SECONDING SPEECHES.
When the demonstration had
j spent itself the speeches seconding
j the nomination of Mr, Bryaij were
|in order. Senator White spoke for
California, giving the tribute of
the Pacific coast to the Nebraska
candidate. Colorado yielded to
Senator Hill, of New York. The
audience had anxiously awaited
the appearance of the distinguish
ed New Yorker, and as he took
the platform he was given a splen
did reception, the entire audience
rising and cheering wildly, with
tlie single exception of the little
group of Tammany leaders, who
sat silent throughout the cheers
for their New York associate. Mr.
Hill was in fine voice and his trib
ute to the Nebraskan touched a
sympathetic cord in the hearts of
the audience. He pictured Bryan
as the champion of the plain peo
ple and of the workingman, strong
with the masses, with the farmer
and with the artisan. When Hill
declared, with dramatic empha.-is,
that the candidate would have the
support of his party —a united
party —there was tremendous ap
plause at the suggestion of demo
cratic unity.
Aside from the brilliant eulogy
of Bryan the speech of the New
York leader was chiefly significant
and attractive.
“It is a time for unity, not for
division,” he exclaimed, to the rap
turous approval of the great mul
titude facing him. The eloquent
Daniel, of Virginia, added his
glowing tribute to the candidate,
while former Gov. Pattison, of
Pennsylvania, spoke for his state
and for the east. Gov. McMillin,
of Tennessee, voiced the wishes of
“a state which had furnished three
presidents.”
Hawaii, through its native dele
gate, John H. Wise, made its first
seconding speech in a democratic
national convention, and finally a
sweet-voiced and pleasant-faced
woman alternate from Utah se
conded the nomination of Mr.
Bryan 111 behalf of the state of
Utah. Then came the voting,
state after state recording its vote
in behalf of the Nebraska candi
date and giving him the unanimous
vote of the states and territories.
The convention managers had al
ready agreed that this was suffi
cient work for the day and the
vice-presidential nomination was
allowed to go over until tomorrow.
IMPERIALISM CONDEMNED.
Next to the demonstration for
the party candidate that greeting
the announcement that imperialism
was to he the paramount issue of
this campaign was the most spon
taneous and significant of the day.
Senator Tillman read the platform
and with measured force brought
out the fact that imperialism was
now given the first apd supreme
place among the issues of the party.
That the delegates were in com
plete sympathy with this express
ion was shown by the long and
sustained applause, lasting over
twenty-two minutes and exceeding
the ovations usually accorded the
favorites of the party. Following
this the announcement that the 16
to i idea was retained in the plat
form received only faint and ill
sustained recognition, the applause
being limited to a few minutes.
It was regarded as a significant
showing ou the sentiment of the
delegates, quite as convincing as
the terms of the platform they had
put forward.
Another stirring event of the day
was the appearance of Webster
Davis, formerly assistant secretary
ot the interior under McKinley’s
administration, in a speech severe
ly arraigning the republican party
for its lack of sympathy for the
Boers and formally announcing his
allegiance to the democratic party.
EIGHT ON THE PLATFORM.
But the great battle of the con
vention has not been fought un
der the eyes of cheering thousands,
but in the closely-guarded quarters
of the committee ou platform. Here
was waged throughout last night
and again this morning one of the
most remarkable struggles that has
ever racked this historic party. On
the one hand was the influence of
Bryan and the absolute unity of
devotion felt toward him and the
cause of silver with which his name
is inseparably linked. On the oth
er hand were many of the patriarchs
of the party, men like Daniel of
Virginia, insisting that the very
life of the organization was en
dangered by clinging to its old is
sues and th it the duty of the hour
called for new issues based on new
“ There’s nothing

and vital events. This contest was
at last narrowed down to the one
issue specifically reaffirming the
party’s adherence to a r 6 to i stand
ard, as desired by Mr. Bryan, or of
reaffirming the silver plank in the
most gentle terms. And on this
issue .the brains, the sagacity, the
persuasive eloquence and the best
ability of the convention has for
the last thirty-six hours been en
gaged in a battle royal for suprem
acy. And out of this fierce strife
the adherents of Bryan emerged,
scared, but victorious. They have
written the platform in their own
way, with 16 to i, but it was a vic
tory by a scratch for a single vote
would have turned the scale. And
it has not been a victory without a
concession, lor m the final draft

in the very forefront is the declara

mount issue of this campaign.
Kansas City, July 6.—The dem
ocratic national ticket was com
pleted today by the nomination of
Adlai K. Stevenson for vice-pres
ident.
The nomination was made on
the first ballot, state after state
joining in the wild scramble to
record their support of the winning
candidate. It was not accompanied
by any such frantic demonstration
of approval as had marked the pro
ceedings at the previous stages,
although the result followed a
highly spirited contest between the
adherents of Stevenson, Towne,
Hill and the lesser candidates
The distinct triumph of the d*y
in the way of a popular ovation
was that accorded to Senator Hill.
It was accompanied too, by a re
markable scene when Hill earnest
ly protested to his friends against
being placed in nomination, and
then finding his protest in vain he
strode to the platform, and in tones
which left no doubt of his sinceri
ty, earnestly besought the conven
tion not to make him the nominee.
The procedings today moved
with greater briskness than on the
two proceeding days for there was
none of the tedious waits for plat
form and committee reports.
A DEMOCRATIC CROWD.
The s eci ot the great auditor
ium was truly democratic when
the vote began. Anticipating the
close of the convention, the general
public was admitted freely and
great crowds emptied into the body
of the hall filling not only every
available seat in the area reserved
ior delegates, while some more
adventure some individuals scaled
the iron girders and looked down
from a dizzy height on the 30,000
people packed below'. The crowd
practically took posession of the
proceedings.
TOWNE DEMONSTRATION.
On me call for nomination Ala
bama yielded to Minnesota, and the
t latter state presented its young
champion of republicanism and
democracy, Clias. A. Towne. The
mention of his name was the signal
lor a flattenng demonstration in his
honor, men and women joining in
the outburst. Far off in a corner of
tile auditorium, a young woman
could be seen franticially waving
in one han i a lithograph of the
Minnesotan, and in the other the
Stais and Stripes. On the floor, the
Neorasl a, Minnesota and one or
two other delegations joined in the
dem-ms;ration, but it was noticea
ble that it did not evoke any wide
spread enthusiasm among those
who were about to do the voting.
Gradually other delegations began
to rise, some ol the New Yorkers
getting to their feet and for a mo
ment it looked as though the con
vention might be carried off its
feet, but against this was heard a
counter storm of protestation and
discordant hisses.l For ten minutes
the demonstration to Towne lasted
with varying degrees of intensity.
URGING HILL.
Meantime attention was being
directed to an excited group mass
ed in front of the New York section,
with Hill as the center of a strug
gling line of delegates. They press and
forward from all quarters of the
hall, urging him to permit his 11a e
to b; placed before the convention.
The face of the New Yorker was a
study as th demands on him came
from all sides. He sat in front of
the delegates with Senator Murphy
on his right and Judge Van Wyck
on his immediate left A second
seat away was Mr. Croker. Mr. Hill
protested vociferously.
While the pleadings continued
the call of Delaware was heard
above the roar, and Delaware yield
ed her place to New York. At
this the bulky form of Senator;
Grady pushed through the densely
packed aisles to the platform.
There was a hush to hear what the
New Yorker had to offer.
NEW YORK NAMES HILL.
“In behalf of the united demo
cracy of New York,” shouted Sen
ator Grady, “I present as a candi
date for the vice-presidency the
name of David Bennett Hill.”
The effect was electrical and a
tidal wave of enthusiasm swept
over the convention. Delegates
stood on chairs and waved hats
frantically in solid phalanxes.
Flags and standards were again
mingled in triumphant procession
while a sound as from Niagara
roared through the great structure.
Grady stood there proudly waiting
for the storm to subside. But as
he waited the audience observed a
strange pantomime. Tney saw
Hill leave the delegation and push
up to the platform. They could see
him appeal to Senator Grady to
withdraw, while Grady’s answer
was apparent from the shake of his
head and his advance to the front
of the platform to continue his
nominating speech. When the
demonstration had subsided Sena
tor Grady concluded his speech
presenting Hill. But as he stepped
from the platform the man who
had just been placed in nomination
took hisplace. The senator looked
out sternly, even savagely, on the
shouting thousands. When he
could be heard he made due ac
knowledgement of the honor done
him.
HILL OBJECTS.
“But I must not be the nominee
of tkis convention,” he declared
wi tfa emphasis. He was frequently
interrupted with enthusiastic
shouts of approval, but as he left
the platform the delegates were
firmly convinced from his words
and manner that he was sincerely
desiriousof having his name with
held. It is probably this alone
which prevented a nomination by
acclamation then and there.
It was soon apparent that with
Hill out Stevenson was a strong
favorite. State after state seconded
his denomination, Georgia, In
diana, Virginia, Kentucky, Illinois.
Some of the devoted friends of Hill
maintained their allegiance to him,
and New Jersey, Louisiana and
others seconded his nomination.
A numbei of favorite sons were
placed in nomination. Maryland
brought forward Gov. J. W. Smith.
Washington named James Ham
ilton Lewis.
North Carolina named Col. Ju
lian Carr.
Ohio presented A. W. Patrick.
BALLOTING BEGINS.
It was after 2 o’clock when the
seconding speeches, many of them
wearisome, were completed and
the balloting begun. As the roll
was about to be called Mr. Lewis
appeared ou the platform and with
drew from the contest.
The vote was followed with in
tense interest for when Alabama

Chattanooga Times.
Advices as to the condition of the
iron and steel trade continue pes-*
simistic, but there seems to be no
real ground for this. To be sure
there is reason to expect that the
extreme prices prevailing for the
past year will be sharply clipped,
but southern makers have nothing
to fear, Consumers have not near
all the stocks they want, and they
are only waiting for farther de
clines which they believe to be
coining. The decline of prices is
largely speculative, and the south
ern furnaces are taking little inter
est inwhat manipulators are doing.
The southern makers enjoy the
best possible attitude. They have
not been wild, many of them have
sold ahead anW all have the pros
