SENATOR GORMAN SPEAKS OF THE SITUATION.
Froxu The New York Journal.
Just at this time it is a matter of interest to every democrat in the country
to know how tin' leaders stand. Those true to the party ate accepting the ac
tion of tin* majority. This is what Senator Gorman says:
From The New York Journal.
Being’ determined to stand by the democratic party as I always have done,
I am naturally delighted with the editorial utterances of The Journal. The
editorial that appeared in the paper this morning - was one of the strongest
articles that I ever read in a daily newspaper. I can best express myself
by relating the experience of Steven A. Douglas at his first meeting with
General Jackson.
As every one will remember, congress passed resolutions condemning
General Jackson for his action at New Orleans. Long after this a resolu
tion was offered and passed in the senate ordering that a black bolder be
placed around the resolution of condemnation, ns it appeared in the journal
of the senate. Os course this order was carried out, and the black border
. still remains.
Judge Douglas made one of his great speeches in behalf of the resolu
tion oidering the border placed in the journal, and defended General Jack
son’s course at New Orleans. Douglas had never met Jackson at this time
nnd the great democrat sent for the Illinois statesman to visit him at the
Hermitage. General Jackson's greeting was:
-I always believed that I was right, but I never knew why I was right
I until you told me in your speech.”
So I can say. in General Jackson’s words. I believed that I was right in
remaining a democrat, but now I know why I was right, because I have
read that grand editorial in this morning’s Journal.

■ Received with Most Inspiring' Enthu-
siasm at Lincoln, Neb.
I.lncoln. Neb., July 17 —Lincoln Is deliri
ous tonight. The delirium began when t lie
I triln hearing the nomlree was sighted by
the thousands gatheied In and about the
' railway station. How many thousands
I wi re there, it would be difficult to estl-
I mate.
I Men. women and children with tin horns.
which they blow lustily, steam calliopes
i whistl'd, cannon flrictackers and every
! thing else that could be conveniently han
! died hi'pil turn the vicinity of the station
I into a pandemonium.
J As Mr. an t Mrs, Bryan, with the Lincoln
I cotitinp tit that had gone to met t them,
! step!*of from the train a mighty howl went
I up from th«- crowd, anti then began the
1 din of shi'-k.-. grunts, whistles and how is
| continu'd with a ;»rsistonce that showed
• a k* . i enjoyment on the part of the crowd.
■ Mr. and Airs Bryan, their children and the
i other- witli them managed to get through
tile nibb’d ma -es and were placed in
carriages.
M Ivor Gilliam and a re< option committee
had I h'l’-.re of th'* nrramo ments and under
the ■ direction the nominee's party was
convey, 1 to the Bryan resilience. No. Ifi2s
, l> . - *i h re n iehbors and friends were
v. ap Tig to ; le them heart welcome. At
I y .;■) o'i I* el. Mr. Bryan went to the Lincoln
; 1 o.i 1 in a ■ trriage to take hl • place In the
i narade, Mr Bryan and a number of
j frito d< pro i ding directly to the state
capitol It was raining by this time, but
the ardor of tile people was not diminished,
nnd win’ll Air. Bryan drove up to the hotel
lie was greeted with a repetition of the
delirious enthusiasm that he had encoun
tered on his arrival at the railway sta
tion.
Tin •) the pr ice;: lon was started for the
statehouse. A platoon of police led the
parade, First came F. A. Miller, chief
marshal and his staff, Including a number
of army- and national guard olllcers, fol
low'd by the Second regiment band and
I tho Lincoln Light Infantry. Mr. Bryan
came next, and after him Company I) of
the First regiment Nebraska National
Guard.
State, county and city officials followed
In turn and the r< t of the procession was
made up of civic orgat izatimis of every
character. Including traveling men and
relief societies. The Bryan Home Guards
bore flambeaus and discharged rockets,
while many of the other paraders also In
dulged in pyrotechnic display. A brass
bund headed m arly every organization and
there was no lack of musical effort.
Packed in the rain outside the statehouse
were people by the thousands. 'They cared
nothing for the wet underfoot and tho
wi t overhead, but stood in file mud as
patiently as if it had been the most propi
tious weather. And their enthusiasm was
something wonderful. Nearly every young
man and ydttng woman was armed with a
tin h’orii .".nd they spared not their lungs.
But the cheers drowned out all other at- j
tempts at showing feeling. When Mr. |
Bryan was Introduced it was a mighty
shout that went up and it was repeated '
over and over. A tempoiary platform had
been erected at the corner of the building .
an I from this Mr. Bryan spoke as fol- |
. lows:
"Fellow Citizens—l am proud tonight to ■
be able to say to those who are assembled i
here, these are our neighbors. I beg to
express to republicans, democrats, popu

my struggles, deserves her lull share of '

that I shall return to the people who first

I The Democratic Campaign Is To Be
Started m New York.
| Chicago. 311.. July 17—(Speelal.)-The
' democratic campaign Is to be begun right
in the heart of the enemy's camp—ln New
York city.
The national committee lies so decided. .
and <loes so on the suggestion of the j
party's brilliant standard bearer.
The formality of notlti■' ilion will I* gone
through with in Malison Square Garden,
and there, in the heart of New York, the
democratic candidate for the !•:'<■ -ud-m y
will make the opening spe* ch of hit cam
paign. The man who stat Is as the r p-
I resentative of the cause of the p*-ople will
bear the message of th- people to thus
who are suppose! to be least desirous ot
hearing it.
It is not for the purp -e of disp ; ay that
this is done, but it is i accord with the
Ideas of all the lead* r* that this be an
aggr*-sslve campaign ot tli*. part of th
democrats a campaign of e*lu ation •
I pecially in that part of the intry where
education seems now to I•• m ■ sary.
Some time early in Yugusi this great
Madison Square mec'ing will i hold an 1
at it Mr. Bryan urn! Mr Seuall will le
formally notified <f th’ir nomination.
This will be done by the t. 'ltr ■ on com
mittee, of which Senator YY hit. - t 1 alifor
nia, is president, and Mr. Hill is th- • Ivor- |
gia nu mber.
The chi’s event will l a Mr Brian’s ,
speech, which will be th*- keynote of the •
campaign. It can be put lown ns a t t
right here that the sp* * i of accept
will bo no string oft: aningless j :
tudes. a- was that win It escape*! v '• 1
Mr. Hanna did t.mporaiily remove
hand from the mouth of his man of * - ;
lence.
At the meeting of th- national eoir.t;
tee last evening Mr. 1’ van made a si.
talk, giving hl* ideas a ->ut the charact
of the campaign to be waged. His !. x
was that the war should be carried !r'-
New York and New England from th
outset. In view of the (act that Mr. Bry
an and Mr. Sewall live so far apart, he
thought it would be well to have the no
tification in New York. Four years ago
the democratic nominee received liis no
tification in Madison Square Gard-ti.
It was deciiled, therefore, to act on Mr.
Bryan’s suggestion and to follow up the
New York meeting with a tour of New-
England.
Senator Jones, of Arkansas, was unani
mously elected to the chairmanship. The
question of w here h* adqtiarters w ill be
established is left open to be decided
later.
Bryan’s Increasing Strength.
From The Albany. N. ¥.. Argus.
It seems to be agreed ev* n by those who j
; cannot be reconciled to the proce.dings |
! at Chicago that William Jennings Bryan
I is the strongest candidate tb.it the conven
lon could have chosen on the platform
1 adopted. The special correspondent of The
i Philadelphia Public Ledger, which is ;
I one of the most conservative republican
papers in the country, says that Mr. Bry- l
j tin's personality is attractive and his in-
I ellectual force above the average. As a i
I debater he has few equals of his years in ;
1 tli»- country. As a stump speaker ho is |
I unexcelled. In public and private life he
j has kept himself above criticism No one (
I doubts that he has the courage of his con- |
! vietions. Ho is energetic and magnetic.
Whenever ho speaks h* attracts a large ,
personal following. In his own state he is
‘ the idol of the young men. In congress he
1 served four years on the committee on
wavs and means, and was one of the
star speakers on the democratic side. He
was popular among his associate*; during
his congressional career, and the friends
which he made then were of material as
sistance to him in Chicago.
