“Fifteenth. An important chapter Is
the oft-repeated promise, made to be
broken. that when the war ceased the op
pressive burdensome and vexatious war
taxes or> many articles of prime, necessity
should be repealed or reduced.
“Though the war closed two years ago.
•nd notwithstanding there is a large and
growing surplus' in the treasury, not one
dollar of reduction in these taxes has
been made.
“It is known that delegation after dele
gation. suffering from these burdens,
crowded the committee rooms at Washing
ton and literally begged for some relief.
It is true that those of us who consti
tute the minority of Congress joined in
that appeal and declared our readiness to
support any and all measures that might
In some degree remove these burdens of
taxation. But a deaf ear was turned
by the Republicans to all such efforts for
relief, and none came.
“It is well known also that no relief
will be given by the party in power, and
it is vain for overburdened people to look
to them while present policies are al
tempted to be enforced. The only hope
for relief lies in hurling from power the
Republican party and the restoration of
the party which believes in simple and
economical government.
“Sixteenth and lastly: The cost of Re
publicanism and its twin monster imperial
linn. This is neither the time nor the oc
casion to discuss in detail the Increased
appropriation made necessary by the Re
publican policy of imperialism. Briefly,
however, I will mention that the average
of appropriations per year for all pur
poses of government for the two years
immediately preceding the Spanish-Ameri
can war was about $475,000,000. The aver
age expenditures per annum for each of
he three years since that war, including
the fiscal year upon which we have just
entered, shows an increas of narly $300.-
000,000. The total increase for the three
years will be nearly $900,000,000. And In
like proportion It will go on.
“This show’s the difference in cost of
the empire as against the republic. These
figures refer alone to the money cost of
th change, and do not include the expense
of the blood of th* American boys, the
price of which is far beyond computation.
In the Republican Congress just closed,
not one dollar could be had for much
needed public buildings throughout the
country at home, but many millions were
promptly voted to prosecute a war in the
far-away Philippine Islands. Not a dollar
for necessary improvements of our rivers
and harbors at home, but millions to t>o
stolen and squandered in Cuba and our
new insular possessions. Nothing for
Isthmian canal, and many other enterprises
and objects, but more than $200,000,000 were
freely given for the army and navy, for
imperialism and military, for gold and
glory.
"I said at the outset the issue this year
was again sixteen to one. The forego
ing are briefly the sixteen parts of the is
sue. What is the one part?
"We have seen that platform pledges
are made and broken. That good inten
tions of men are many times se at
naught. That plain duty clearly set
forth and understood, is disregarded.
That some men are weak and vacillating
and may change their solemn opinions in
a day. It is apparent therefore, to all

public a demand goes forth not far a
faint-hearted declaration of platform
platitudes, but for a man. Yes. a man
who stands like a mighty rock in the
desert: a man who knowing the right
will dare do the right; a man who. 1
•rather than follow a multitude to do
evil, will stand like Pompey’s pillar con
spicuous by himself, and single In in- j
tegrity.’ Such a man as the one part, this
convention will tender to the nation as
their candidate for president. A man who
Is unsurpassed as a citizen, unequalled
as an orator, courageous as a soldier,
conspicuous in every element that con
stitutes *he typical and the true Ameri
can. William J. Bryan of Nebraska.”
The first token of approval given to hie
address was that which greeted his first
mention of 16 to 1. The applause, how
ever. was rather feeble and scattering.
Much more energetic was the shout that
followed the declaration that the coming
campaign was to be a trial of the republic
against the empire.
Like Schoolboy* With King*.
The conclusion of Chairman Richard
con# speech was the signal for terrific
applause and cheers. His mention of the
name of William J. Bryan brought the
convention to its feet in a frenzy of enthu
siasm. Delegates sprang upon their
chairs, waving hnts, handkerchiefs and
umbrellas in the wildest fashion. By com
mon impulse the poll's bearing the name*
of states were torn up and thrust into the
air. Then down the aisle toward the
speaker’s desk came groups of del
egates surrounding one man who he;d
the name of the state aloft. Texas and
New York become engaged in a-advalry as
to which should hold the name of the
state highest in the air. The Lone Star
♦State had the advantage at the outsit, for
the New York standard had been grasp
ed by one of the small men of the dele
gation. This was quickly remedied when
the Tammany men saw themselves in
eecond place.
The pole bearing the # nam- of the state
was fl New York
er, he was bumped down into his chair,
and Mr. Kellar, endorsed by New York
for Vice President, seized it. Mr. Kellar
put Texas In second place in a flash, and.
try as and sj erately as he might, lie Texan
could not place the name cf his state one
foot over that of New York. Wild with
excitement, the Texans grasped their
man, raised him on their shoulders and
New York was down again, but as before
It went down only to rise higher. Richard
Croker, Grady, Carroll and a half dozen
o hers of the delegation came to Mr Kel
lar’s assistance and the emblem of the
Ktnpire S4at<> went up again nearer the
ceiling by a foot than the Texas men had
been able to reach.

While this strife was going on between
the two states, the frenzy had taken
hold of the delegations and from all
parts of the hall men came plunging
through the throng carrying their state
emblems. They became densely packed
in front of the Speaker’s desk, and yell
ing and cheering like maniacs, they
strove to raise the name of their state
level with that of New York. The effort
was useless, however, and held firm by
the Tammany men. New York kept its
place.
The Georgia men. wrought up by their
failure to equal New York, made a rush
for the speakers stand. They went
through the crowd with a force that no
opposition before them could prevent, and
pushing, shoving, clawing and cheering,
they hoisted their man upon the platform
and lifted him upon a chair. Their effort
was successful, and New York was eclips
ed once more. Kellar Is no small man to
hold aloft in a crowd of struggling, push
ing men. and the Tammany cYowd was
nearly ready to drop, but a glance at the
Georgia banner brought new strength into
their wearied aims, and new’ determina
tion Into their hearts and Mr. Kellar went
up still higher and was on top once more.
The convention by this time was
state of frantic excitement. The men from
Hawaii, carrying their large banner, came
down the aisle, followed by a shouting
mob which bore all before it. The band
struck up. “The Stars and Stripes." and
to its inspiring strains, the crowd com
menced to march around the floor, yelling
line mad men, waving everything that
could be lifted into the air. Hats, hand- .
’icrchiefs, umbrellas, state emblems, ban- ;
ners and the national colors were united
ir.to conglomerate wave, and beneatn it
marched a crowd of men fairly beside
themselves with excitement. With flush
ed faces, down w’hich the perspiration roll
ed in streams, many without coats and
vests, they went round and round the hall,
shouting, yelling and screaming at the
top of their voices.
Those delegates who did not join in the
march lent most efficient aid in increasing
the uproar. They contiibuted nothing
but their voices and their hats and hand
kerchiefs, but they used the first as
though they were made of brass, and
orignaliy designed for one night’s wear
only.and the last two in a manner usually
os energetic. The band did its share and
the tooters of horns and the beaters of
sheepskins worked away for dear life.
Nobody knew’ W’hat they played—nobody
cared. They were doing their full share,
and that was all that was necessary.
After the excitement had continued
for fifteen minutes. Mr. Richard
son attempted to bring order out
of the chaos that ruled upon the
floor Now’ and then the pUter of h’s gav
el could be heard and every time the
sound reached the ears of a delegate he
shrieked the louder. Time after time the
chairman attempted to restore order, but
he was utterly lost and overwhelmed in
his effort. •
PreciFely twenty minutes after Chair
man Richardson had mentioned the name
of Bryan, which, like the waving of a
magic wand had conjured up a scene of
Fuch wonderful enthusiasm as has seldom
been witnessed In a political convention,
he began to rap for order; but the and le
gates we re not yet ready to yield the floor
even to the chairman of the convention
The band in the gallery started a tune,
and despite the efforts of Chairman Rich
ardson to restore order, the demonstra
tion continued for nine and a half minutes
longer, its total length being 29U min
utes. Order then was sufficiently restored
to enable the chairman to recognize Dele
gate J. G. Johnson, of Kansas, who made
a motion that the convention adjourn un
til 10:30 a. m. to-morrow. At 10:31 the
chairman declared the convention ad
journed.
THREE PIATFORMS OFFERED.
Presented the Committee by Metcalf,
Van Wyck and Gnrrard.
Kansas City, July 4.-The contest over
the question of th e monetary ratio, which
has been brewing ever since the delegates
to the convention began to assemble,
found expression in the Committee on Res
olutions when it assembled to-day.
The committee was called together soon
after the first adjournment of the conven
tion, but only elected its officers, adjourn
ing to meet again at 3:30 p. m. Senator
Jones of Arkansas was unanimously chos
en chairman, and Mr. Metcalf of Nebraska
secretary.
When the committee reassembled. Mr.
Metcalf presented the draft of a platform,
covering all questions of public interest,
which draft all the members accepted as
Mr. Bryan's. Mr. Garrard of Georgia also
presented a platform, as did Mr. Van-
Wyck of Now York. All these documents
took practically the same ground upon all
questions except that of finames. Mr.
Metcalf’s declaration was for the reaffir
mation of the Chicago platform in letter
and spirit, and it emphasized and reiter
ated specifically the declaration for the
free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to
1. Doth the other drafts simply reaffirm
ed the Chicago platform without reference
to the ratio.
Took Ip Finance*.
The reading of Mr. Van Wyek’s docu
ment brought Mr, Ball of Texas, to hie
feet, with the suggestion that the finan
cial question should be immediately taken
up and passed upon. He sold it was ap
parent to all that there was no division
upon any other question of Ihe platform,
and with the financial plank dis|oscd of,
the preparation of the remainder of the
platform would be merely a matter of
clerical work.
This suggestion was adopted, and the
committee immediately entered upon the
effort to settle the question of ratio. The
session proved a very Interesting one, and
many speeches were made.
Mr. Van Wyck led off with a brief
statement, saying that while In his plat
form he had referred to four Issues as
prominent, namely, those of Imperialism,
militarism, trusts, and the finances, h*
considered that only three of these were
of current consequence, believing that the
money question had beeji crowded Into
♦lie background by other lulled* which
THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, JULY 5, 1900.
had pressed to the front during the past
four years.
Senator Daniel of Virgina, somewhat to
the surprise of some of the members of
the committee followed Mr. Van Wyck In
support of his view of the question. The
senator said that no man who knew him
I would doubt for a minute that he now
| stood where he had stood on the silver
question in 189t>, and that he entertained
precisely the same views on this subject
which then controlled him. He was, how.
ever, anxious to bring back into the party
those who had left it lour years ago on
account of the position taken on the silver
question, and if this could be accom
plished, as he believed it could be by
omitting all reference to the ratio, he, for
one. was content to pursue that course,
simply 1 eaffirming the Chicago platform.
Mr. Fitzgerald of Colorado followed in a
warm speech denouncing in most emphatic
language any effort to minimize the finan
cial question. He asserted that the omis
sion of a declaration on ratio of the two
inernls would be a mere evasion and con
cealment; that such evasion would fool
no one. He declared that if such declara
tion were not made even Colorado could
be counted at a doubtful state.
William* Strong for Silver,
George Fred Williams of Massachu
setts also made a spirited argument for
n specific cPelarat on on the question of
ratio. He assured that the Democratic
party had become a new’ party since it
had incorporated anew financial plank
in its new declaration of principles. It
had become a virile and live party since
1896. and this fact was due solely to the
circumstances that the money question,
which was the. question of the people, hal
been made the paramount Issue. He eu
logized Mr. Bryan in high terms, spoke of
his self-abnegation and patriotism, and
said that it would be cowardly to ask that
gemleman to rtcant what he had been
preaching throughout the country for the
past four years. While not pretending to
say what Mr Bryan would do. Mr. Wil
liams asserted tmphatically and signi
ficantly that if placed in Mr. Bryan’s po
sition he would decline a nom'nation upon
an equivocal platform. As for himself,
he did not believe in deserting those peo
ple who had left their own party to sup
port the Democratic policy of four years
ago for the purpose of regaining the sup
port of the traitors and trimmers who had
left the Democratic party because of its
financial position. “There is no reason."
he exclaimed, “for making any conces
sion to treason.”
Mr. Williams was frequently applauded
during the course of his remarks. He was
followed by Mr. Daly, of New’ Jersey, who
made' a plea for copservatism and for con
cessions to the moderate wing of the
party. He said that he had cheerfully
supported the platform and ticket of four
years ago and had stumped the country
for Mr. Bryan, but he felt convinced that
the time had come when the money ques
tion was no longer paramount, and he
implored the committee and the conven
tion to put it somewhat in the back
ground and make the light of 1900 on other
issues.
At the conclusion of Mr. Daly’s speech,
the committee concluded to take a recess
until 8 o’clock in order to allow its mem
bers to get their dinners.
Upon all questions other than that per
taining to finances the three platfroms
presented were practically the same, ex
cept that Mr. VanWyck’# draft did not
cover so many questions as did the other
two. .
Brief of Metcalf’* Platform.
Mr. Metcalf’s copy, after reaffirming the
Chicago platform, and referring especially
to the ratio in the coinage of the metals,
denounced trusts in drastic language, and,
in the same connection, refers to the pro
tective tariff as one of the principal sup
ports of the trust system. It also con
demns the alleged tendency of the pres
ent Republican administration towards
imperialism and the increase of the stand
ing army. Sympathy is expressed for the
Boers in their struggle with Great Brit
ain and the President condemned lor his
failure to take decisive steps looking to
wards- the manifestation of the sympathy
of the American people with the people
of the Transvaal.,
In connection with the expression on
the Boer question, the assertion is made
that it is evident to all men that a secret
alliance exists between the McKinley ad
ministration end the British government,
and this alliance is denounced as revolt
ing ami repulsive to all liberty-loving peo
ple.
' The platform also takes positive posi
tion on the Philippine question, pronounc
ing in favor of a policy looking to the
granting of liberty and home government
to the natives of the archipelago, with a
promise of protection to the people of the
islands, similar to that which is vouch
safed by us to the South American repub-
Hcs.
Planks have been suggested covering the
questions of Chinese immigration, good
roads, the reclamation of the arid lands
of the West, free homes, and equal suf
frage for women.
Three I’ll* I form* Oflered.
When the Committee on Resolutions as
s *mbl<d at 8:3) o’clock to-nigh', Chairman
Jones was of the opinion that the light
over the platform would be carried Into
the convention, as two rep rts would b
preaentr and.
A larg number of speeches were made,
notably by those favoring simple reaffirm
ation of the Chicago plaifarin. Carter H.
Harrison of Chicago, Judge Van Wyck
of New York, Representative Ball of
Texas. F. W. McGettrlck of Vermont,
Morss of Indiana. Baughman of Mary
land, Gibbons of Florida, and Blackman
of Louisiana supported the conservative
view.
Senator Jones, chairman of tht commit
tee. made an earnest appeal for the reten
tion of the ratio provision. He wild that
not a vote would 1*? gained by flu* omis- ■
slon. while the retenlion of the provision
would greatly strengthen the ticket in the
Mississippi valley st.it* s. He also appeal
ed for the granting of Mr. Bryan's wishes
In the mutter, saying that his impression#
came from his close contact with the peo
ple and w * re apt to be right.
Senator Money of Mississippi, antago
nized the 16 to 1 provision, because, he
fhid, its insertion would lose votes t<> the
1 ticket. He though! the representatives
in the committee from the Mississippi
valley states, and not others, should be
onsulted tis to the political chances in
their states.
Senator Money's speech was somewhat
sensational. He said (hat while he yield
ed to no one in hi* admiration ©I Mr. liry-
an, neither he nor any other man was big
enough to coerA- the conscience of the
whole Democratic party.
STEVKViOX COMING I P.
Ex-Vice President Seem* to lie
Growing in Strength.
Kansas City, July 4.—Very little that
was tangible developed in the vice presi
dential situation to-night, although the
Stevenson candidacy apparently met
with favor and there seemed to be a pos
sibility of this being the solution of the
question. *
The determination of the Indiana dele
gation to put Shively in the field caused
a little diversion during a part of the day,
but Mr. Shively stated this evening that
he was not a candidate and would not
be. As to the action of the Indiana dele
gation. he said that after what he had
told them there was no reason for the
belief that he w’ould be a candidate.
Friends of Stevenson said that they would
have been prefectly willing a short time
ago to have supported Shively, but after
the positive, statement made yesterday
that Shively would not be a candidate
and would not be presented by Indiana
they now’ felt that they should stand by
Stevenson.
The demonstrations made over Hill in
the convention to-day was taken by some
to mean that the convention would be
stampeded for him, but Hill does not
think so. and it is possible that if he
makes a speech on the platform, he will
make it plain that he could not be a can
didate on a Bryan platform. He says
emphatically that he will not be nomi
nated.
Two other booms remain in much the
same condition they were yesterday. Both
Towne and Sulzer in the race, though
the convention does not seem inclined to
favor them. The Towne men claim they
have the support of Bryan, and that if
16 to 1 is put in the platform, their man
will be ihe logical candidate.
New York men say that the action yes
terday for John W. Kellar is in earnest,
and that they will try and secure his nom
ination.
To-night the vice presidency is in doubt,
with a leaning toward Stevenson.
Indiana determined to present the name
of Benjamin F. Shively for Vice President
at a meeting held this morning. Mr.
Shively was present at the meeting and
stated that he did not want to be a can
didates. but the delegation decided to pre
sent his name, and Maj. Menzies was se
lected to make the nominating speech.
Subsequently Mr. Shively made the fol
lowing statement: *1 am profoundly
sensible of the honor involved in the fa
vorable mention of my name in connection
with the nomination for the vice presi
dency. But I have not been a. candidate
lor the nomination, am not now and could
not accept the distingunshed honor if ten
dered. My reasons are of a purely busi
ness character, but nevertheless such as.
with me, are legitimate, potential and
conclusive. With assurances of sincere
thanks to the Indiana delegation, end.
the numerous delegations from other
states for their generous proffers of sup
port in the convention, I must again re
considered in connection with the nomi
nation.
C'REDEVn U.S COMMITTEE.
I)ll %ot Require Much Time to Settle
tlie Contests.
Kansas City', July 4.—The Committee on
Credentials made quick work of the con
tests. They assembled at the Kansas City-
Club and Edward Gray of Texas Was made
chairman. The only’ hearing given was to
the District of Columbia, and the commit
tee decided to admit both delegations with
half a vote each.
In the Indian Territory- case, each dele
gation was seated, with half a vote.
The greatest interest centered on the
Montana case, and as soon as it was veil
ed a motion was made to ratify the action
of the National Committee and seat the
Clark delegation. A substitute to give
each side a hearing was defeated by a vote
of 33 to 13, and the Clark delegation was
seated without discussion.
The Oklahoma contestants were given
half a vote each, although there was a
piotest from both factions.
Two New York men. Forest and Ma
honey. representing what they- said was
“the Bryan Democracy of New York,”
wanted a hearing. They had a hearing
before the New York state delegation yes
terday. and the Credentials Committee de
cided not to take up the matter. The
committee adjourned, and then
there was row. The New York
men and the OKlahoma mfn began speak
ing. The crowd surged in. mounted chairs
and pushed up around the speakers. Ma
honey made himself chairman and at
tempted to secure order. An attempt was
made to get the dissatisfied element from
all states and territories to organize u
piotest and submit n minority report to
the convention. Finally Mahoney got or
der long enough to make a speech denoun
cing Hill. Croker. Murphy and Van*Wyck
and the Democrats who supported them.
Soon there was pandemonium and the
side meeting terminated.

Genllcrne-I—lt gives me pleasure to
heartily recommend “Infant-Friend
Powder,” and to give to you a singu
lar little coincidence connected with
it.
During the C’otton States and Inter
national Kx jx) Sat ion I was presented
iwith a little Imx of this powder, and
was so pleased with it that I was ex
ceedingly anxious to get more, but on
hooking at the box I found nothing
but Savannah, Ga., no other address.
I have often wished I knew where
to get it. This morning’s mail brought
your circular with enclosed sample I
immediately refemd to*my box. and
found it was the “Infant-Friend Pow
der." It i without doubt the best
powder I have ever used.
Respectfully,
MRS. Wm. KINO.
