6 Mil Guffey and Parker Humil iated After Bell Lauds Nebraskan's Ideas. BELL MAKES ADDRESS Decks Have Boon Cleared for Bry an's Nomination Sosxlon Which Lasted (Inly Two Hours Wast Font ure'esn Eniinora Cause Lltt!o En- thUslllMIU. Denver, Col., July 9. With Wil liam J. Bryan's power assorted to thr humiliation of two of his chief foes, the Democrntlc National Convention cloned Its flrtit session In two hours on Tuesday. In that time It had cleared the docks for the nomination of Bryan and the adoption of a thor oughly Bryanlstlc platform, had vir tually read Col. James M. Guffey of Pennsylvania out of the party, made Judge Alton B. Parker, Democratic candidate In'llKM eat humble pie on .lis Cleveland reFolutlons, and had listened to the keynote speech of Temporary Chairman Theodore Bull of California, who, In a strong ad dress admirably rendered, enunciated as the principles of the Democratic party practically all of Bryans doc urines. For the greater part of Its length the session was featureless. The ac tion on the Cleveland resolution and the Ouffey Incident, both of whlcii jeeurred near tho close, one fol'ow ng the other, constituted t'.io rp;il -vork of the day, i- the steering of n "Steam roller" over the representa tives of pertain sections of the party uay be termed work. At tne close the onlookers left the nail with two pictures In their mind. Jne was that of a humbled Parker, iomewhat red of face and obviously mhappy, leaving the platform; the jthcr of a dcliant, smiling Guffey waving farewell to his party from the -nlddle of the floor. As the doors of :he hall were open id the visitors and the delegates filed n steadily until within an hour the .iall was comfortably tilled. The and during the hour played various selections, and the first cheer to be lieard In Denver's magnificent new ibllc building was that which greet ed "My Old Kentucky Home." The Kentucky delegates Btarted the noise ?nd a little later the Southern con tingent greeted "Dixie" with a .nighty shout and cheering. In distinct pontrust with the: e ova lons was that accorded the arrival tf the first Bryan banner, which was arrled by the Nebraska volunteers, t was a pretty banner and It caused i lot or talk. The cheering, though, vhlch came entirely from the floor nere the delegates were seated, last ed but a few seconds, and lacked ioth spontanelfy and genuineness. The second ba.7er vlth the Nebras an's portalt upon It raised scarcely .". ripple. Following are the leading points made In the Democratic platform. "We favor such a modification of 'he law relating to injunctions as '111, first pre"ent the Issuing of the rlt In industrial disputes except af vor not'ee to defendants, second, for lit trial before a Judge other than 'he one who Issued the writ, and, "hlrd, ullow a Jury to be summoned i all cases where the alleged con empt Is committed outside the pres i ace of the Court." "Equal lights to all and special ! rlvlleges to none' Is the overshad owing Issue at this time." "We insist upon legislation, State -nd national, making it unlawful 'or -any corporation to contribute to cmpalgn funds, and providing for ubtleatlon, before the election, of all iidivldual contributions above a easor.able minimum." "We favor the election of United states Senators by direct vote of the eople." "We favor the vigorous enforce ment of the criminal law against fusts and trust magnates." We favor an linrrud.ate revis- n of the tariff. Articles entering ito competition with articles con oFled by trusts should be placed ,ion the free list."

Tuesday Is the last day In this harbor for the Atlantic battleship fleet of sixteen, and for the first time since the arriv al of the ships hero San Fr&nclsco streets are free from groups of sightseeing sailors. Squads of men armed with arguments In the shape of i tout poice "billies" searched every nook and cranny of the city, gathering In the straggling sailors and shipping them by the launch load to their vessels.

Jpmes Guffey, National Committeeman from Pennsylvania, accused by Wil liam J. Bryan of party treachery In a speech ..t his home on the Fourth of July, made a sensational reply to the r.ttack. The Issuance of :he state ment means Guffey's defeat by the convention. Mr. Guffey calls Bryan an lngrate and one of the worst bosses the par ty has produced. He sayj that the late Marcus Daly, the Montana Cop per King; William R. Hearst and himself furnished the necessary funds for carrying out Bryan's two previous campaigns. After Hearst had not only supplied money for the 1900 campaign, but given Bryan the ben efit of wide publicity, Mr. Guffey says 1 e turned against this benefactor in 1904, but that he is now fawning upon him. Marcus Daly, he re marks, died too early for a display of Ingratitude. This statement was Issued after Guffey had conferred with ex-State Chairman Donnelly, Thonu.s J. Ryan, and several Intlmnte associates on the National Committee. It Is the first open assault the reactionaries have dared to make against Bryan. It means that Bryan and Guffey have locked arms In an uncompromising war. liars Humeri School Site. Cleveland, July 8. The Injunction of the Common Pleas Court restrain ing the Colllngwood, Board of Educa tion from erecting a new schoolhouse on the site of where 164 children lost their lives will stand until fur ther order. Judge Keeler has de cided that he would not grant a mo tion of the School Board to dissolve tne Injunction. "The Board chose the old site and let the contract," said Judge Keeler. "Their proceedings were In legal form, but 1 find that they violated the dltoretlon reposed In a board acting for the public benefit. "A large part of the Colllngwood public has a horror of seeing children play where tne bodies of other chil dren were burned. The board can tlnd vacant property in the vicinity of the old site. It was Indiscreet In choosing the old site in face of the violent objection." Grand IV. s Kills Two Kiiccrs. Dieppe, July 9.

Denver, July 9. The publication of Alton B. Parker's resolution of trib ute to the memory of the late Grover Cleveland has acted like the explo nlon of a bomb shell In the midst of the Bryan followers, and they have at once taken steps to head off Its Introduction In the con-ention. They charge that the proposed Introduc tion of the resolution Is a deliberate attnek on Mr. Bryan and Intended to stir up bitter factional strife. To squelch the Parker resolution the friends of the Nebraskan have determined to offer a resolution of a character designed not to raise con t'overted political issues. The reso lution Is denounced by such Bryan lenders as Mayor James C. Dahlman ot Omaha, and Judge M. E. Wade of iowa, the member of the National Committee from that State. They Kate that Its adoption would bo a direct slap at Bryan, and Insist that in giving it out for publication the New York delegation Intended to dis parage the Nebraska candidate. The portions of the resolution which particularly aroused the Ire oX the friends of Mr. Bryan relate to Mr. Cleveland's record on the ques tion of maintaining the Integrity of the courts and finances, the para graphs being as follows: "Ho respected the Integrity of our courts and so Insisted upon strict en forcement of the law that every hon est man or Interest might be protect ee and all offenders punished without fear or favor. "He maintained the public credit and honor, stood firm as a rock In de fence of sound principles of finance, and resisted dangerous economic doc trines and practices left by the Re publican party as a heritage of our people." It was said by Mayor Daiiluian that these expressions are but thinly veil ed attacks upon Mr. Bryan and his 'veil known attitude upon the ques tion of adopting an antl-lnjunctlon p'.ank, and hlg position In 1896 and 1900 on the money question.

HOTEL LOBBIES FULL Majority of the Delegates IaoU Much More L.kn PopiilMs Than Demo ,rat The Fanner Element Everywhere Distlnnulsliablc Number of Women Attend. Jk'iiver, Col., July 8. In appear ance this Is a Populist convention. Tile majority of the delegates look much more like Populists than like the Democrats of eight and twelve years ago. Very naturally the crowd here bad to stand roinparlson with the crowd at the Republican National Conven tion in Chicago two -veeks ago. The men here are less prosperous looking than those who gathered In Chicago. They more obviously represent the Masses. The farmer element Is everywhere distinguishable. The ma jority of the delegates come from close to the soil and they look It. Furthermore, taken ns a whole, the delegates here are older than wero those at Chicago, and In fact they appear older than tho.-;e who nt unded the Democratic conventions or four and eight years back. The women, and there are a considerable number of them here, too, are tha wives of farmers, small merchants, middle class artisans. Nearly all are simple folks. The contrast between the two conventions finds its most striking feature in the Individual characteristics of the delegates. All this, of course, does not apply to the leaders or the delegates from the large cities, such as New York and Chicago. The leaders are noticeably better dressed than the average. They, too, are pointed out, and their names are whispered as they pass by, comment, generally laudatory be ing added. The delegates from the larger cities, easily distinguishable because of their clj;hes are apparent ly held In Borne awe by the multitude. Most of them don't seem to like the distinction. They travel in groups of three or four, and If left alone for a few minutes are obviously 111 at ease. Nearly every one here wears a badge. Some of the badges are of a cheap variety, rignlfylng only the choice of some particular candidate for Vice President. Several of the delegates from the middle Western States, have badges bearing the pic ture of Bryan. Others of the dele gates wear badges that may have cost considerable money. Perhaps the best Is the Iowa badge with its corncob top In green and gold and Ita State seal pendant at the end of the red, white, and blue ribbon. Kansas of course, is represented by the sunflower, and Its delegates' badges are great big ribbons with Bilk sunflowers at the top. In fact, there Is a great deal more Interest In the music and the badges and the singing and the cheering than there Is In the politics of the convention, with which the majority of the delegates have little or noth ing to do a condition for which they seem extremely grateful. Roosevelt for Vice President. X)enver, July 7. Former Governor Charles S. Thomas of Colorado, who will represent the State on the Com mittee on resolutions In the forth coming Democratic convention, Eald with seriousness that he was for Roosevelt for Vice President. "He Is by long odds the strongest man we could :iume," he said, "and I believe that if his name was presented he would prove a winner, and that if nominated he would accipt. I don't se how he could refuse." "Aren't you afraid that if you get to discussing Roosevelt too strongly lor any position the convention will It stampeded for him for first place?" a Republican bystander ask ed. "I shouldn't be surprised." replied Governor Thomas. "A worso thing might come upon us; he Is the strongest man that could bo noml lated. and If the people should get together and nominate hin: on an independent ticket I am Bure he would real both the other nominees."
