The convention of the advocates of

Wednesday morning.
Promptly at 11 o’clock the doors
ealing to Tomlinson Hall were opened
but admission was confined under
triet orders to ticket holders.

band was located in the upper
'ry in ths rear of the hall. Many
f the early arrivals in the gallery
ere ladies.
When the Pennsylvania delegation
filed in shortly before noon there were
liters for the old Keystone state. The
en ranee' of Iowa was also heartily
cheered.
As the hands of the clock pointed to
on, Senator'Palmer of Illinois,chair-
JR. ,n of the national committee, up-
.red and made his way to the plat-
,rm.
The appearance of the Florida del-
egation, headed by two negro men,
one carrying a C'eveland batin- - and
the other a gilded alligator labeled
“Florida’s Gold Bug,” produced quite
drowned a flurry of enthusiasm, but was
in the thunderous applause
which greeted the New York delega-
Don.
The New England delegation, with
many conspicuous men among them,
was also warmly received.
Convention Called to Order.
Senator Palmer rose at 12':30 and
struck the gavel. Thereupon most of
'be delegates jumped to their feet,
routing and waving their state ban¬
ners, ending the demonstration, which
which was brief, by three cheers.
Senator Palmer, in calling tho con¬
vention to order, said:
Gentlemen—I have the honor for a
moment to preside over the first na¬
tional democratic convention held in
tho year 1896. hands (Cheers). The gavel-
'ill be in my but a moment.
\Ve aro assembled hero for lofty, no¬
ble and patriotic purposes. (Cheers).
Our- earnest desire is to serve our
country. (Cries of “right, right,”
and cheers), and in the sincerity of
that honest purpose we may appeal to
the Judge of all hearts. (Ipplause).
We may appeal to the Great Master,
the Great Governor. I beg you now
to listen to an invocation by Bishop
White, of the diocese of Indiana.
He presented Bishop White of the
diocese of Indiana, who read a brief
prayer. After the prayer, ex-Con-
gressman Outkwaite, of Ohio, read
the eall for the convention and was ap¬
plauded. “Jack-
In reading the reference to
son, Jefferson, Cleveland,” Mr. Outh-
waite put particular stress upon Mr.
Cleveland’s name,and brought the del¬
egates to their feet with a tribute of
cheers louder than any which had gone
before.
A call of states to ascertain the pres¬
ent standing followed.
Four of the western group, Idaho,
Nevada, Utah and Wyoming were the
only states whose name passed unan¬
swered. Alaska’s loiio representative
was cheered.
Arizona, Oklahoma and Indian Ter¬
ritory had no spokesman.
After this call Senator Palmer raised
a 1-mak by announcing that the next
thing on the program was “remarks”
by himself, “but,” he continued, “I’ll
omit the remarks. Words are BiWei;
silence is golden.”
Then be introduced Mr. Brennan,
of Wisconsin, who read the report of
the national .committee. The recom¬
mendation that the rules that govern¬
ed the last democratic convention,
“which was held in 1892,” should
govern the convention, was cheered to
the echo. The report recommended
ex-Governor Flower, of New York for
temporary chairman and John R. Wil¬
son, of Indiana, for temporary secre
tary.
The mention of ex-Governor Flow¬
er’s name waB the signal for a burst of
applause which swelled into a regular
yr&r cry.
SYCAMORE. IRWIN COUNTY. (iA.. FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 1896 .
Governor J.mos, of ALibuna, ana
George t'\ Peabody, of M-issaehu
Nett*, escorted the dialinguisbed Now
Yorker to the phi'form. Senator
Palmer shook hands wiih tho ex-gov¬
ernor, who bowed in response to the
demonstration.
Governor Flower rend his speech
from manuscript in a clear voice. He
was fn queutly interrupt' dhy applause
Flower Attacks Bryan.
Mr, Flower declared i t tho outset
that the gathering before h m was no¬
tice to the world that the democratic
party has not yet surrendered to pop¬
ulism and anarchy. He said the Chi¬
cago platform was dangerous in its
tendencies and influence and referred
to some of the silver leaders as “lire
radicals of the French revolution.”
“The real issue of this campaign,’’
he said, “is an issue of patriotism.”
Mr. Bryan he declared to be a “fit
representative of the revolutionary
forces behind uim—ambitions, un¬
steady and unsafe.”
“An untried mau,”he intituled, “a
demagogue, a word-ju(gler, he-per¬
haps will repiroteut. tin- restless mob
which he leads with characteristic
restlessness, and he does not hesitate
to appeal to base human passions in
order to attract votes. That is his
incendiary role, standing as he pro¬
fesses to stand, on the principles as
undemocratic as those of Herr Most,
That he should deserve, by any con¬
ception of party regularity, the sup
port of true democrats is past compre¬
hension and explainable only by iguo-
rance of men.”
The statement that bimetallism was
a genuine democratic doctrine was re¬
ceived in silence.* Governor Flower’s
speech wss concluded at 1:45. Its de¬
livery had < ccupiod about 45 minutts.
Governor Fiower then assumed the
gavel and by his direction the states
were called for members of the com¬
mittee on resolutions, credentials and
the selection of national committee¬
men and vice-presidents.
After annouucuaent that the com-
mittee would meet immediately, the
convention at 2:08, on motion of Mr.
Curtis of New Jersey, took a recess j
until 4 o’clock.
The Afternoon Session.
Tha convention reassembled at 4:30
P- nr • with a full attendance of dele
gates. The chairman of tho committee
on credentials, Mr. J. H. Brennan, of
Wisconsin, made a report to the effect
that there were 824 delegates present,
representing 4* etates and three terri-
tories and recommending that those
present be entitled to cast the full
votes of their states and territories,
The report was agreed to without
opposition.
Dr. Everett, of Massachusetts, was
introduced to fill up the time with a
speech until the roport on permanent
organization should be ready.
The report of the committee on per¬
manent organization was then present¬
ed by the chairman of the committee,
Mr. James W. Eaton, of New York. It
recommended Senator Donelson Caf-
fery, of Louisiana, as permanent chair¬
man and Mr. J. R. WilsoD, of Indiana,
for permanent secretary, and further
recommended the establishment of a
permanent national organization.
The report was adopted without a
dissenting voice. Senator Oaffery was
escorted to the chair by Mr. Bullitt,of
Pennsylvania, and Mr. Lawler,of Min¬
nesota, and addressed the convention.
His remarks were delivered with much
force and were greeted with continued
ckeeriDg. Among other things he
said:
“I tender this convention my deep-
<st thanks for the high honor of se¬
lecting me to preside over its deliber¬
ations. I shall always regard it as the
highest ever conferred upon me.
“Charged by our party with the
function of ministering in its temple
of faith, and teaching the people its
iruo doctrines, our priests have dese¬
crated its altars, broken its shrines
and taught false doctrines to the peo¬
ple. We now enter the sanctuary of
the temple and take possession of the
ark of thr covenant o." our faith,
which wo will hereafter vigilantly
guard, protect and defend. We will
purify „ its desecrated altars and
reluild its broken shrines. And
lest the hearts of the people be stoleu
away from the democratic faith—the
faith of our fathers and founders—we
must 8-{ arate from our brethren who
have wrought this evil, and from those
who have rollowed their evil teaching.
We cannot follow them in the road
they have taken, for their feet are
swift to destruction and their way Is
the way to death. The ties that bound
us were as strong as hooks of steel,
and we part from them in sorrow.
“For e. season our party may stray
after false doctrims and flounder amid
quagmires until the beacon light of
truth breaks upon it. It will rise from
every fall, like Antaeus of old, and
- ven in its ashes will live its wonted
fires. If in the deoree of fate our party
must perish, let no historian write
such epitaph on its tomb as this:
‘Came to an untimely end from swal¬
lowing political and financial poison,’
but rather let this epitaph be writ¬
ten over its honored grave, dug
amid the ruins of the capitol:
‘It did not survive the loss of liberty,
tbe destruction of the republic and
the decay of public nod private morals. ’
We are .the propagandists of no new
creed. We are the upholders of the
other. Wo appeal from democracy
“In Union, Strength and Prosperity Abound.*’
drunk with delusion to democracy
sobered hy reason. With an abiding
faith in the intelligence and honesty
of our p' oplu wo lay before them and
the world the reasons that prompt ns
to unfurl the old flag that has floated
over many a triumph and many a de¬
feat and never yet soiled by repudia¬
tion or stamped by dishonor,”
At the close < f Mr. Orff ry’s speech
Mr. John P. Irish, of California, made
a speech to the convention which was
received with demonstrations of ap¬
plause throughout.
The committee on platform, the not be¬
ing ready lo report, convention,
at 5:50, adjourned until Thursday at
11 a. m.
THURSDAY’* SESSION.
The topic uppermost in the minds
of visitors and delegates on assembling
Thursday morning, was the nomineo.
It was concluded that Bueknor’s nom-
ination for vice president was a cer¬
tainty.
As a final argument against the nom¬
ination of Grover Cleveland, Daniel
G. Griffin, chairman of the New York
delegation, displayed two telegrams.
The first telegram wasi a dispatch sent
by Mr. Grftlu to Mr. Cleveland,
at Buzzard’s Bay, to learn his personal
wishes in regard to a renomination.
Mr. Cleveland sent this brief, but
conclusive auswer:
' Bczzakd’s Bay. Mass , September 2.—Hon.
Daniel G. Gr ffiii, chairman New York delega-
iloir. My ju-i.-ment and personal iiiclina ious
arc so unalterably opposed that I cannot, for
one moment, entertain the suggestion.
“3boveb Clfvixand "
The news of President Cleveland’s
telegram declining w^as to permit the use
of his name accepted by the con¬
vention as final.
Permanent Chairman Oaffery ap¬
peared on the stage at exactly 11
o’clock, the hoar to which the conven¬
tion adjourned, and was given a round
of applause. Thirty minutes later he
called the convention to order. Thero
was no prayer. Senator Oaffery in-
formed the convention that the corn-
mittee on resolutions was not ready to
report and begged its patient indul-
since for u few more hours.
Thero were loud and JUpeated
eallli for Breckenridge. HrnMvlo ’
famous orator mounted tse platform
and made a ringing addrejgi
“The platform adoptocKwi saiiSte. Chicago
is not our platform',” “The
nominees are not ours.”
He referred te-»Mr. Bfifan as the
young man who was seeking to en-
lighten the world. The whole of Mr.
Bryan’s teaching, he said, was for
those who bad been unfortunate in
life to destroy those who had been
prosperous in life, and told his follow-
ers to use the last weapon to equalize
that which was useful.
“This I submit,” he cried, “is not
democracy. The theory is not that
the government should support the
people, but that the people should sup-
port the government.”
He denied that the convention was
here to announce a declaration of
principles and shoot into the air. It
was here, he said, to nominate candi¬
dates which would place tho demo¬
cratic national ticket in contrast with
that nominated at Chicago.
He concluded with a brilliant and
eloquent peroration on the duty of
patriots to home aud country.
A number of other short speeches
wero made, the most notable of which ;
was that delivered by Mr. Bynnm.
Mr. Bynum said he had no words to
express his gratitude for the cordial
demonstration he received. He spoke
of the arduous labor the preliminaries
of the convention had entailed and its
great success seemed to him almost a
drenm. And yet, he said, jt was not
surprising that a month should suffice
to raise up th s great protest against
the treachery at Chicago.
He called upon the convention to
continue the battle until the polls
closed.
Mr. Hammond, of Georgia, made a
brief speech, ih which he scored the
silver democrats of the soqth for ap¬
pealing for populist support. Vilas,
At exactly 2 o’clock Senator
obairman of tbe committee on resolu¬
tions, mounted the stage aud read the
platform to the convention.
It was received with great applause
and was unanimously adopted.
After the adoption of the platform a
motion was made for a recess, but
the temper of the convention was
net for delay. A motion of Mr.
Breckinridge, of Kentucky, to pro¬
ceed to the nomination of a candidate
to stand on tho excellent platform, was
carried.
Thereupon the call of states for the
nomination was begun at 2:30, and
Alabama,whose name was first, yielded
to Kentucky, and Delegate A. J. Car-
roll, who is a close friend of Henry
Wattersou, came to the platform to
make a statement that he would with¬
draw from consideration the name oi
the Kentucky editor.
Lemuel L. Kilbonrn, of Michigan, I
presented the name of Senator Pa mer
of Illinois. The nomination of x-admer
was received with cheers delegates
waving their flags and shouting, Pal-
mer, Palmer.” !
The venerable senator seized bis
from the table and in the face of
boisterous demonstration, beat a
treat np the rear-of the s age.
Californiagave her time to Burr
Jones, of Wisconsin,who eulogized
favorite sou of that state,General Hrugg
--“The hero of 50 battlo*, the com
mnnder of the Iron Brigade.”
Thomas F. Corrigan, of Georgia,
also seconded Palmer’s nomination in
a brief epeech.
Missouri seconded the nomination of
General Bragg. When Nebraska was
reached C. S. Montgomery arose.
“Nebraska,” he said, with slow, de¬
liberate emphasis, “Nebraska has no
candidate to present to this conven¬
tion. Nebrusko, wo think, has fur¬
nished one too many candidates.”
This drive at Mr. Bryan wus cou
strued as one of the big hits of the
! convention.
After the nominating speeches were
made the states were called and Palmer
was nominated on the first ballot.
j A roll call was ordered for vice
president, and Kentucky was called
i first. The band played “My Old
Kentucky Home.”
[ Brou ler of Kentucky took the stage
to nominate Buckner. Ttie nomina¬
tion was made by acclamation.
, J The convention at 4:05 p. m. ad-
j jonrned sine die.
AT IT AGAIN.
‘The Seaboard Makes Reduction in
Freight Rates.
The Seaboard jur-Line reduces
freight rates 33 per cent from Balti-
more and Virgiuiu points into Atlanta.
The Southern States Passenger An-
j socintion met this cut with a cut of 35
per cent. The cut was made at the
executive meeting in New York Wed-
j nesfiay and goes into effect onSeptem-
1 her 5th.
j guessing Th^ Seaboard long. This did not keep other them
cut, as the
mads call it, is exactly the one which
led the association to declare for an 80
per cent cut. But- the situation is bet¬
ter understood now, or will he when
what follows is absorbed. This 33 per
cent cut is permanent so far as the
Seaboard is concerned, so its represen¬
tatives announce.
With a seriousness which is grimly
humorous tha Seaboard says this cut
is not war, but is simply a stroke of
business policy made with no hostile
intent.. It is simply the adoption as a
permanent policy of rates which woro
first inaugurated as cm experiment. •
“The experimentproyet! to be prof
itable to our company,and we consider
it to b'e to the best interests of our
property and our security holders, 1 ’
'said one of the reps cseritutives of the
Seaboard. "We have no war to make
on any oue. This is a pacific step in
its intent. I; there should bo a war,
others will inaugurate it—not the
Seabord. Wo thought that rates
were too high from the east. Busi-
ness was light and we thought that a
conservative reduction would stirnu-
late traffic over our line. We could
not. tell whether the move would be
profitable or the reverse until we tried
it.”
BRYAN IN MILWAUKEE.
Scored Those Who Took Part In the
Gold Convention.
Three speeches were made by William
J. Bryan before Milwaukee audienoas
Saturday. In tbe first the democratic
candidate scoerd those who took part
i 11 the gold convention ot Indianapolis
accusing them of dishonest in'eution
111 nominating a third ticket. One of
the other addtesses was the most sen-
satioi al Mr. Bryan has delivered dur-
in f? the campaign. It was devoted al-
most entirely to the goverment bond
issues and teemed with implication
of the administration aud the mem¬
bers of the bond syndicate. He did
not mention any names, but it was ev¬
ident who he meant in his denuncia-
tory statement. A heavy rain spoiled
the afternoon speech for half of those
who attended the Bryan meeting at
National park. About 5,000 people
composed the audience and large seg¬
ments of them broke and ran when
the rain became a downpour. The
other 3,000 or so held their ground,
and very uncomfortable ground at
that, and would not let the candidate
cut his remarks short, as he said he
wanted to do, despite the fact that
nearly everybody was drenched to the
skin.
Both night meetings were held
in Schlitz park. The first address of
Mr. Bryan there was delivered in a
small theatre in which 2,000 people
found seats, and another thousand
crowded the aisles and spaoes around
the door. Outside in tlie chill, damp
night air were gathered more than
5,000 people, who were unable to gain
admittance, and these Mr. Bryan ad¬
dressed after his indoor speech was con¬
cluded. Both audiences were liberal
in applause and the utterances concern¬
ing the bond negotiations, which bor¬
dered on the sensational, were received
pith great cheering.

GETS A PEEP AT UNCLE SAM’S
TREASURY VAULTS.
Rain Interferes Greatly With The
Sight-Seeing Program.
Li Hung Chang made good use of his
time while in Washington. Before 9
o’clock Friday morning he was on his
way to visit the capitol, incidentally
taking a glance of the outside of the
interior and postoffioe departments
and tho pension.office.
After leaving the capitol tho visitor
was driven direct to the Chinese lega-
iion, where the time until 3 o’clock
was spent in business conference,
unch and rest.
At that hour the viceroy had an en¬
gagement to visit the Washington
monument, but on the way to the
monument ex-Secretary Foster took
he Chinese to call on Secretary Car-
isle. The oall upset the remainder of
the dav’s programme.
At 7 o’clock in the evening he at¬
tended an elaborate dinner tendered
in his honor by ex-Secretary Foster.
Rainy weather affected the pro¬
gramme for Saturday, and important
parts of it were canceled.
Early in the forenoon Secretary Car¬
lisle and Treasurer Morgan escorted
the vice regal party through the vaults,
showing him $150,000,000 in gold and
silver coiD, which didu't seem to im¬
press him, but when thfe bond issue
division was reached he manifested
reat interest and plied his guides with
questions.
Down in the redemption division
the viceroy destroyed $70,000 in old
greenbacks with evident delight. Then
Secretary Carlisle entered (he carriage
with him and the party was driven to
he bureau of engraving and printing,
where all the operations of money and
tamp-making were viewed with the
greatest curiosity.
When the viceroy returned to his
hotel at noon the rain begun to fall
heavily and it was immediately an¬
nounced that he would cancel all fur¬
ther sightseeing and remain in his
apartments until he bad to leave for
his train.
About half past 5 carriages were
taken for the depot by the entire party,
General Huger, as usual, escorting Li
Hung Chang, and accompanied by four
troops of the Sixth cavalry. The same
sumptuous traiirtbat brought the party
from New York was in readiness. Vice
President Thompson’s private car be-
iug reserved for the ambassador, and
ut 6 o’clock the journey to Niagara
Falls began.
What He Thinks of America.
Li Hung Chang’s parting tribute to
the American people was given to the
newspaper men for dissemination. He
said:
“The three foremost men in history
have been Napoleon, tbe Chinese em¬
peror Yao and Washington.
“Napolean created an empire which
was speedily destroyed.
“Yao created an empire and then
proceeded to rule over it.
“Washington bnilt up a great na¬
tion, then stepped aside leaving others
to govern.”
