At 10:52 a. in. Chairman White • dropped the gavel. The indescribable buzz of thousands of voices gradually 1 subsided and tho delegates took their j seats. At 10:55 the Rev.

He is a strongfaced man with a fierce silver moustache and chin whiskers and white hair, which falls over all of the ton of his head. He adjusted a pair of g.Mdbowed spectacles and began to read the financial plank of the platform, which Colonel Charles H. Junes, the St. Louis journalist, baa written. The report of the minority was read by J. 11. Wade of Ohio, a former read ing clerk of the liaise of representa tives. The gold people rose and cheered, but after the outbreak of Wednesday, these forces were faint. Senator Ben Tillman of Soutli Caro -1 aa mounted the stage to open the great debate in behalf of free coinage. He introduced himself to them by saying that he came before them not as “the lymg newspapers had represetod | lift i. ' Ms: DAVID 15. HILL. him to he." A l-i.'utid of applause from the pit greeted rins auuouuoemant, but it was drowned in the storm of hisses from tho gulioriqp, wliieh was increased to a perfect whirlwind of sibilant sounds as lie added: "I came from a state which was the j homo of secession.” “Secession," ho continued, while the j galleries hissed, "brought about the j war, the war which emancipated the I negro. The storm of hisses issued forth again | when he repudiated the denial that this was a sectional contest. "I say it is a sectional issue,” lie cried, “and it will prevail.” Senator Tillman concluded by pledg ing the solid vote of South Carolina to any good straight silver candidate. As he descended from Hie stage tho delegates sot, up a great shout for Hill. But suddenly the commanding figure of I Senator Jones of Arkansas, chairman of the resolutions committ -e, mounted the stage. Senator Junes Htal.es a Speech. He held his hand out for silence. Tho noise fellaway be'ore his strong pres ence. In cleai ton hi ; >olo .zed for appearing befote S ator liill. He iiad not int- ded to say . word, he said, big he could not allow the charge of Mr Tillman that, this was a sectional issuo to pass unchallenged. “I am a southern man.” continued Senator Jones. “I carried a musket during the war. I repudiate the sug gestion that this question knows any section. ” Flying flags, hats and hand kerchiefs and the approving roar of 15,- 099 throats answered. Tho New York, Massachusetts and other eastern delega tions joined heartily in this rejection of the extreme Tillman sentiment. After this emphatic repudiation of Mr. Tillman’s assertion, Senator Jones left tlie platform. Ovation to Senator Hill. Senator Hill ascended the platform amid a perfect storm of applause. He shook the hand of the presiding officer, and then, with a smile, bowed his ac knowledgment to tho shouting, gestic ulating crowd.

The first volume of applause would no sooner die away than it would again be taken up and cheered and re-eclioeil through the building.

Ur van of Nebra-ka Nominated For President on tlie Fiftli ltallot. Chicago, July 10.— The docks wore cleared for the balloting which began j when the Democratic national cobven ! tion reassembled at 11 o’clock. The j real struggle opened with the delegates I wrought to an intense pitch over the sensational developments of Thursday night when, after the platform had been adopted, the Bryan wave swept through the convention and threatened for a time to stampede it then and there. It had -turbeh. all tic..ln ion- an. hr.’ tin--v . the r .ilk? of ether udi.hr into c fusion. ] the conv. rion i not btA- coinpelle 1 to adjoin u at n. - night : 1 account f the electric lights giving our. the eloquent young Nebras kan would have undoubtedly been 110 m rated for president. Bryan's great I --.wh, favoring the adoption of the I , p.tfArm as submitted by the majority of the committee on resolutions, turned j an overwhelming tide in his favor, and, ' as before stated, had the vote been taken Thursday evening, he would have won easily. Chairman \Yhite, who had recovered his voice, stepped to the front of the stage. Running his eye for a couple of seconds over acres of people, he glanced down at the delegations in the pit and with a heavy whack of the gavel called tlie convention to order. The chairman then announced that : tho first business was the call of states i lor nominations. Thereupon Mr. liar ! rity of Pennsylvania, tho chairman of j the national committee mounted his chair and placed in nomination ex Gov ernor Robert T. Pattison. Delegate Miller of Oregon added to tire list of nominations the name of Syl | vestcr Penuoyer of Oregon. The names jof Bland, Bryan, Blackburn, Boies, Matthews, McLean, Pattison and Penn | oyer were before the convention. 'lhere was no other nominations, and Chairman White announced that the ! rollcall of the states for the nomination lof president would proceed. A rustle | of excitement swept over the hall, sue j ceeded by an intently eager quiet, j Then Alabama was called and the ' chairman said that five of her delegates I being gold standard men desired to vote ' for that “splendid type of the New ! England Democracy, William E. Rus j sell of Massachusetts, but under the | rules he cast their 22 votes for Horace I Boies.” The announcement brought out | a banner bearing the likeness of her j governor from the lowa section and I cheer after cheer greeted it. The 16 votes of Arkansas, announced I for Bland by Senator Berry, gave the | supporters of ‘‘the great commoner,” as he designated him, opportunity to yell, I which they improved. California’s vote | was much scattered, 9 for Blackburn, 2 j for Boies, 1 for Campbell, 2 for Bryan j and 2 for Matthews, and Blackburn’s name was giveu a cheer, while the oth ers failed of recognition. The result as announced bv tho read ing clerk was as fallows: Bland, 223; | Bryan, 105; Boies, 88; Matthews, 27; j McLean, ;>4; Pattison, 95; Penuoyer, 10; I Blackburn, S 3; Campbell, 2; Til Ini#), 17; Russell, 2; Stevenson. 12; Hill, 1; Tel- I ler, S; absent aud not voting, 185. } The second roll was begun and fur nished a sensation at the outset, for Alabama shifted her 22 votes for Bland to Bryan, aud the young Nebraskan’s JAMES K. .TONER. friends waived their handkerchiefs. Bryan gained 3 in the California delega tion 011 a poll. Colorado’s votes for Teller were again hissed and cheered. Vice President Stevenson captured one of Bland’s votes in Florida. Wyoming changed her 6 votes from Blackburn to Bryan. John McLean los 4 in the District of Columbia aud Bryan captured 3of them. The name of Minnesota on the second call brought a stentorian shout from Daniel Lawler, “Minnesota stands only. 7 present aud not voting.” The result of the second ballot was announced as follows: Bland, 281; Boies, 87; Matthews, 34; McLean, 53; M&R \LU-M k?t ]N\w Bryan, 197; Blackburn, 41; Pattison, 100: Pennoyer, 8; Stevenson, 10; Hill, i; Teller, 1, Absent and not voting, 160.

SEWALL NOMINATED. The Mini From Maine 1* ljryan's lluunlng mate —Convention A<!j ouriis* Chicago, July 11. — The program for the fifth day of the Democratic national convention included the nominating speeches, the balloting for vice presi dent, the naming of tho notification committees, the assembling of the na tional committee and probably the elec tion of a chairman to conduct the cam ' pain. As the hands of the clock pointed to 11 o’clock Chairman White called tlie . convention to order. There were only | about 4,000 people in the Coliseum. More than half the gold delegates were ' present. Contrary to the usual custom, ! the proceedings were opened without prayer. A few routine recommenda ; tions were made before tlie names of ; the vice presidential candidates were 1 presented.

A Ringing Declaration For the Free Coin age of Silr^—Sympathy For Cuba, Etc. I'REAMBLE—»We, tlie Democrats of the United States, in national conven tion assembled, do reaffirm our allegi ance to tlie essential principles of justice and liberty upon which our institutions ore founded, and which the Democratic party has advocated from Jefferson’s time to our own—freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of con science, the preservation of personal rights, the equality of all citizens beforo the law, and the faithful observance of the constitutional limitations. During all these years the Democratic party has resisted the tendency of selfish interests to the centralization of government power, and steadfastly maintained tho integrity of the dual scheme of govern ment established by the founders of this republic of republics. Under its guid ance and teachings tho great principle of local self government has found its best expression in the maintenance of rights of the states and its assertion of the necessity of confining the general government to the exercise of the pow ers granted by the constitution of the United States. The constitution of tho United States guarantees to every citi zen the rights of civil and religious lib erty. The Democratic party has always been the exponent of political liberty and religious freedom, and it renews its obligations and reaffirms its devotion to these fundamental principles of the con stitution. MONEY QUESTION - Recognizing that the money question is paramount to all others at this time, we invite at tention to tlie fact that the federal con stitution names silver and gold together as the money metals of the United States, and that the first coinage law passed by congress under tlie constitution made tlie silver dollar the monetary unit and admitted gold to free coinage at a ratio based upon the silver dollar unit. We declare that the act of 1873, de monetizing silver without the knowledge I or the approval of the American people, has resulted in the appreciation of gold and a corresponding fall in the prices -of commodities produced by the people; a heavy increase in the burden of taxation and of all debts, public and private; the enrichment of the money-lending class at home and abroad; tlie prostration of industry and impoverishment of the people. 1 AGAINST GOLD -TAN D ARY -We are unalterably opposed to monomet allism, which has locked fast the pros perity of an industrial people in the paralysis of hard times. Gold mono metallism is a British policy, and its adoption has brought other nations into financial servitude to London. It is not only un- American hut anti-Ameri can, and it can he fastened on tho United States only by the stifling of that spirit and love of liberty which proclaimed our political independence in 1 776 and won it in the war of the rev olution. FREE COINAGE DEM ANDED—We demand the free and unlimited coinage of both silver and gold at the present legal ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for tho aid or consent of any other na tion. Wo demand that the standard silver dollar shall be a full legal tender, equally with gold, for all debts, public and private, and we favor such litiga tion as will prevent for the future the demonetization of any kind of legal ten der money by private contract. We are opposed to the policy and practice of surrendering to the holders of tlie obligations of the United States the option reserved by the law to the government of redeeming such obliga tions in either silver coin or gold coin. AGAINST BOND ISSUES—Wo are opposed to the issuing of interest bear ing bonds of the United States in* time of peace and condemn the trafficking | with banking syndicates which, in ex change for bonds and at an enormous profit to themselves, supply the federal treasury with gold to maintain tlie pol icy of gold monometallism. Congress alone has the power to coin and issue money, and President Jackson declared that this power could not be delegated to corporations or individuals. We, therefore, denounce the issuance of notes intended to circulate as money by national banks as iii derogation of the constitution; and we demand that all paper which is made a legal tender | for public and private debts, or which is receivable for dues to the United States shall bo issued by the goveru | ment of the United States and shall be redeemable in coin. A REVENUE TARIFF—We hold that tariff duties sh'-uld be levied for purposes of revenue, such duties to be so adjusted as to operate equally through out the eountiy and not discriminate be tween class or section, and that taxation should be limited by the needs of the j government, honestly and economically administered. We denounce as disturb* ! ing to business the Republican threat to restore the McKinley law, which has twice been condemned by the people in national elections, and which, enacted under the false plea of protection to home industries, proved a prolific breeder of trusts and monopolies, enriched the few at the expense of the E’auy, restricted trade and deprived the producers of the great American star;', s of acces.-; a their natural markets. Until the money question is settled, we are opposed to any agitation for fur ther changes in our tariff laws, except such as are necessary to meet the deficit in revenue caused by the adverse de cision of the supreme court on the in come tax. But for this decision by the supreme court, there would be no deficit in the revenue under the law passed by a Democratic congress in strict pursu ance of uniform decisions of that court for nearly 100 years, that court having in that decision sustained constitutional objections to its enactment which had previously been overruled by the ablest judges who have ever sat on that bench. We declare that it is the duty of con gress to use all the constitutional power which remains after that decision or Highest of all in Leavening Power.— Latest U. S. Gov’t Report 5 ABSOLUTELY PURE P t s which may come from its reversal by - | the court as it may hereafter bo conrii c I tuted, so that the burdens of taxation 3 ; may be equally and impartially laid, to • ; the end that wealth may bear its due -i j proportion of the expenses of the gov - ! eminent. 3 | KEEP OUT PAUPERS —We hold i | that the most efficient way of pro l I tecting American labor is to prevent C the importation of foreign pauper la -1 bor to compote with it in the homo - market, and that the value of the home > market to our American farmers and 3 artisans is greatly reduced by a vicious • monetary system which depresses the - prices of their products below the cost i of production and thus deprives them -of the means of purchasing the products i of our home manufactories, and as labor 3 creates the wealth of the country, wo . demand the passage of such laws as may be necessary to protect it in all its - rights. t We are in favor of arbitration of dis . ferences between employers engaged in . interstate commerce and their employes r and recommend such legislation as is , necessary to carry out this principle, r The absorption of wealth by tho few, 3 the consolidation of our leading railroad 1 systems and the formation of trusts and > pools require a stricter control by tho federal government of those arteries of . commerce. We demand the enlarge* 3 meat of the powers of the interstate , commerce commission and such restric* L tions and guarantees in the control of ' l ailroads as will protect the people from t robbery and oppression, t REPUBLICAN WASTE—We do > nounce tlie profligate waste of money . wrung from the people by oppressive - taxation and the lavish appropriations , of recent Republican _congress.es, which have kept taxes high, while tho labor > that pays them is unemployed and the products of the people's toil are de pressed in price till they no longer repay > the cost of production. We demand a return to that simplic -5 ity and economy which befits a Demo* . cratic government and a reduction in ; the number of useless offices, the sala ries of which dffiu the svkztancp of i people. ’ FEDERAL INTERFERENCE—Wo [ denounce arbitrary interior' ice uy fed , | eral authorities in local affair i as a vio lation of the constitution of the United States and a crime against free institu . tions, and we especially object to gov . eminent by injunction as a new and highly dangerous form of oppression by - whieh federal judges, in contempt of the laws of the states and rights of citi [ zeus, become at once legislators, judges and executioners, and we approve tho ; bill passed at the last session of tho United States senate and now pending > in the house of representatives, relative . to Contempts iu federal courts, and pro viding trials by jury in certain cases of \ contempt. 5 No discrimination should be indulged 5 by the government of the United -states , in favor of its debtors. We approve the refusal of the Fifty third congress to pass the Pacific rail , road funding bill and denounce the . i efforts of the present Republican con , | gress to enact a similar measure. , J AS TO PENSlONS—Recognizing tho ] j just claims of deserving union soldiers, . j we heartily indorse the rule of the pres- j ent commissioner of pensions, that no | name shall he arbitrarily dropped from j the pension roll, and the fact of enlist , j ment and service should be deemed con l ; elusive evidence against disease and dis , j ability before enlistment. | NEW STATES—We favor the ad } ! mission of the territories of New Mex t | ico, Oklahoma and Arizona into the £ Union as states, and we favor the early t admission of all the territories having . ; the necessary population and resources l to entitle them to statehood, and while i they remain territories we hold that tho j officials appointed to administer tho gov , ernment of any toritory, together with ; the District of Columbia and Alaska, I should be bona fide residents of the ter ritory or district in which their duties are to be performed. The Democratic party believes iu home rule, and that all public lands of the { ! United States should be appropriated to s the establishment of free homes for , American citizens. We recommend that the territory of Alaska be granted a delegate in coil* 1 gress, and that the general laud and ’ timber laws of the United States be ex i tended to said territory. I THE MONROE DOCTRINE —The 3 Monroe doctrine, as originally declared • and as interpreted by succeeding presi , dents, is a permanent part of the for- eigu policy of the United States and must at all times be maintained. ' SYMP. THY FOR CUBA—We ex tent onr • nipathy to the people of Cuba in he;- aroic sti a;for liberty and 1 '.depen nee. TENURE OF OFFICE—We are op : posed to life tenure in the public ser -6 vice. V" favor appointments based upon merit, fixed terms of office and such an administration of the civil service ’ laws as will afford equal opportunities ' to all citizens of ascertained fitness. t We declare it to be the unwritten law ’ of this republic, established by custom • and usage of 100 years and sanctioned 6 by the examples of the greatest and r wisest of those who founded and have \ maintained onr government, that no man should be eligible for a third term | for the p. “sidential office. c IMPROVE WATERWAYS The ■ federal g. y mment should care for and ’ improve t.a a Mississippi river and other f great waterways of tlie republic so as to r secure for tlie interior states cheap, and easy transportation to tidewater. When any waterway of the republic is of suffi cient importance to need aid from the government, such aid should be ex tended upon a definite plan of continu ous work until permanent improvement is secured. SUBMlTTED—Confiding in tlie jus tice of our cause and the necessity of its success at the polls, we submit the fore going declaration of principles and pur poses to the considerate judgment of tho American people. We invite the sup port of all citizens who approve them and who desire to have them made ef fective through legislation for tho relief of the people and tho restoration of tho country’s prosperity.
