Indianapolis, Aug. 8.—William Jen-
Bryan and Adlai E. Stevenson
weiv officially notified here today of
their nomination for president and vice
president respectively by the national
p r i:e i ratio convention at Kansas City.
Wh.'ii the sun rose this morning it
shone out upon a clear sky, thus render
ing it quite certain that the program for
conducting the exercises in the open air,
as originally decided upon, could bo car
ried into effect. The weather was hot,
to be sure, even at the early hour of sun-
r jsc, and rhe heat increased proportion-
atelv as old Sol drove his chariot across
the heavens, but this circumstance ap-
paar.-d to have no influence on the
tin,mg of Democrats, local and foreign,
who had come out to hear their candi
dates for the presidency and the vice
presidency formally notified of their se
lection tu be the standardbearers of the
party and to see them started in the race
for the high goals at the farther cud of
rim course. To be sure the people per
spired, but all accepted the occasion for
this physical phenomena as one of the
inevitable consequences of the season
and nothing more. There was, there
fore, no undue, ill humor at the hot
weather.
Both Mr. Bryan and Mr. Stevenson
arosr early and both expressed them
selves as greatly refreshed by the night’s
“\\’e are quite prepared for the ordeal
of the day, if it may he called such,”
said Mr. Stevenson, “and it looks as if
all would transpire most auspiciously.”
Both of them received a number of
callers during the forenoon.
The exercises of the day were inaugu
rated by a monster parade to the mili
tary park.
Senator Jones Presides.
Senator James Iv. Jones, chairman of
the i i mocratic national committee, pre
sided at the exercises. Mayor Taggart
called the meeting to order, made a
short speech welcoming the visitors to
tii,- city and then turned the meeting
owr to Chairman Jones:
< mgressmau Richardson of Tennessee
made the speech notifying Mr. Bryan
nnd Governor Thomas of Colorado made
tin- ■ -h notifying Stevenson, to which
the candidates replied.
Mr. Bryan spoke in part as follows:
“When I say that the contest of 1900
is a e-mtest between Democracy on the
one hand and plutocracy ou the other, I
dn not mean to say that all our op-
ji !i ms have deliberately chosen to give
t - rganized wealth a predominating in
fluence in the affairs of the government,
but 1 do assert that on the important is
sues of the day the Republican party is
dominated by those influences which
con.'tantly tend to elevate pecuniary
considerations and ignore human rights.
President Lincoln’s Maxim.
“Id Jno9 Lincoln said that the Repub-
11 an party believed in the man and the
d 'liar, but that iu case of conflict it be
liev'd in the mau before the dollar. This
is the proper relation which should exist
between the two. Man, the handiwork
of God, comes first; money, the handi
work of man, is of inferior importance.
Man is the master, money the servant,
but up in all important questions today
Republican legislation tends to make
money the master and man the servant.
“The lnaximj of Jefferson, ‘equal
rights to all and special privileges to
none,’ and the doctrine of Lincoln that
tuis should be a government ‘of the
P • qde, by the people and for the peo
ple, are being disregarded and the in
strumentalities of government are being
used to advance the interests of those
who are in a position to secure favors
from t he government.
“The Democratic party is not making
war upon the honest acquisition of
wealth; it has no desire to discourage
industry, economy and thrift. On the
contrary, it gives to every citizen the
greatest possible stimulus to honest toil,
when it promises him protection in the
enjoyment of the proceeds of his labor.
Rr ip -rfy rights are most secure when
human rights are respected. Democracy
strives for a civilization iu which every
member of society will share according
to his merits.
Republican Change of Front.
“Republicans who used to advocate
bimetallism, now try to convince them-
sGves that the gold standard is good;
Republicans who were formerly attached
to the greenback are now seeking an ex-
cus for giving national banks control
°t the nation’s paper money; Republi-
cans who used to boast that the Repub-
j |,|lu party was paying off the national
debts are now looking for reasons to sup
port a perpetiftd and increasing debt;
Republicans who formerly abhorred a
B'tt't, now beguile themselves with the
delusion that there are 7 good trusts and
ki i trusts, while, in their minds, the
uie between the two is becoming more
ami more obscure; Republicans who in
Biues past congratulated the country
U P ui the small expense of our standing
arill , v , are now making light of the ob-
T "dons which are urged against a large
jfHTi-ase in the permanent military estab-
1 diluent; Republicans who gloried in
oui independence when the nation was
less
powerful, now look with favor upon
foreign alliance; Republicans who
nee years ago condemned a‘forceablo
annexation’ as immoral and even crimi-
mtl, are now sure that it is both moral
and crimnal to oppose forcable annexa-
°u. That partisanship has already

abandonment of the earlier ideals of the

Cannot Dodge tlie Issues.
“But they shall not he permitted to
evade the stupendous and farreachiug
issue which they deliberately brought
into the arena of politics. When the
president, supported by a practically
unanimous vote of the house and sen
ate, entered upon a war with Strain for
the purpose of aiding the struggling pa
triots of Cuba the country, without re
gard to party, applauded. When the
war was over and the Republican lead
ers began to suggest the propriety of a
colonial policy opposition at once mani
fested itself.
“When our opponents are unable to
defend their position by argument they
full back upon the assertion that it is
destiny and insist that we must submit
to it, no matter how much it A’iolates
moral precepts and our principles of
government. This is a complacent phi
losophy. It obliterates the distinction
between right and wrong and makes in
dividuals and nations the helpless vic
tims of circumstances.
“Destiny is the subterfuge of the in
vertebrate, who, lacking the courage to
oppose error, seeks some plausible ex
cuse for supporting it. Washington
said that the destiny of the Republican
form of government was deeply, if not
finally, staked on the experiment en
trusted to the American people. How
different Washington’s definition of des
tiny from the Republican definition.
The Republicans say that this nation is
iu the hands of destiny. Washington
believed that not only the destiny of our
nation, but the destiny of the Republi

world was entrusted to American hands.
Washington was right. The destiny of
this republic is iu the hands of its own
people. ’ ’
MR. TOWNE HAS WITHDRAWN

Gordon, Ga., Aug. 0.—While John I. j
Tindall, with his wife, was visiting .
neighbors, his daughter Ruby, aged 10 j
years, was shot and instantly killed by j
her oldest brother, aged 17. The shoot- >
iug at the time was supposed to have 1
been accidental, but in the light of sub-
sequent events is uow thought by many :
to have been intentional.
The shooting occurred July 28. Sat
urday' morning Tindall, who had been
slightly indisposed for several days, took
a dose of medicine and was seized with
violent convulsions, resulting in death
within 1.5 minutes from the first attack.

the drug having been mixed iu the med
icine he was taking.
James Tindall, his son, has been ar

none until additional lifTSfifTaXion' is re
ceived from China. The tenor of the
messages to Consul General Goodnow
this morning, which he is expected to
commnuicate to the Chinese authorities,
was such as to necessitate an answer at
once. The authorities here are now
awaiting that reply. It is stated that
President McKinley will not return to
Washington until next week.
As to the possibility of an extra ses
sion of congress it was said this morn
ing by a prominent official that such a
session was improbable. “The situa

wait for further developments.”
FEARS FOR THE MINISTERS
ELECTION RETURNS STOLEN.
Taken From the Vault In the Court
house at Abbeville.
Abbeville, Ga., Aug. 4.—A sensation
was sprung here when it was known
that all the ballots and election returns
of last Tuesday’s primary were stolen
from the vault of the courthouse. It
seems that on the night of last Wednes
day, the date the vote was consolidated
and the result was declared by the man
agers of the several precincts, some par
ties prominent in politics at Rochelle
called on Clerk Mixon and requested
certified copies of some papers on record.
Mr. Mixon went with them and when
they got there they told him they' wanted
to get certified copies of the voting lists
of each precinct in the county. These
he refused to give them. The clerk was
called outside, leaving the parties in his
office, and later in the day it developed
that the ballots were missing.

Bryan on the Withdrawal.
Indianapolis, Aug. 8.—When asked
for an expression of opinion today' upon
the withdrawal of Mr. Towne from the
Populist national ticket, Mr. Bryan re
plied:
“Mr. Towne’s letter is manly and pa
triotic, but it is nothing less than was
expected by those who know him best.”
Other Democratic leaders expressed
themselves in similar strains.

Washington, Aug. 8.—The message
from Minister Conger brings the Chinese j Conger,

the authorities in Washington regard
the matter as one of great gravity. They
are aware that nothing but the most
vigorous action can meet the conditions,
save the ministers and other foreigners
in Peking, and avert war of long dura

affairs, in which President McKinley
participated over the long distance tele

to Consul General Goodnow, repeating

AN OLD VIOLIN; MADE IN 1593.
It Is a Genuine Stradavarius and Is
Owned by J. P. Bryant.
Fort Valley, Ga., Aug. 3.—A very
old and valuable violin has been discov
ered in this county', the property of J.
P. Bryant, who resides not far from this
place.
The instrument is 308 years old, hear
ing the date “1593,” and is said by ex
perts to be a genuine Stradavarius, as
the now scarcely' discernible legend on
the inside proclaims. The owner does
not use the instrument, but has refused
to part with it on account of its value
as an heirloom, although several times
he has been offered large amounts for
it. The rare old violin was bought of
a stranded musician nearly 80 years ago
by Mr. Bryant’s great grandfather.

The information received through the

the situation. Whether the promises
contained in the edict will be made good

if communication is established the most

Although there have been intimations
before that such communications would

there has been one death at Tampa from
yellow fever and that there are two

The death was that of George Son-

had not been outside the city for years.
The only theory possible is that he con

clothes from some infected point.
