MR, FLOWER'S RINGING ADDRESS The .Host Scathing Arraignment of the t bicaiiu Plulfnruiitenort of utionul Committee. -Other Busi ness of the foment ion. Indlanupolis, Sept. 2. The sound money Democratic, nationul convention was called to order at 12:20 by Senator Palmer. Prayer was offered by Kev. John llazen White. The call for the convention was then read. When the name ol Cleveland Bis read in the call In connection with the names of Jefferson und Jackson the members of the convention rose and cheered and uppluuded loud and long, waiving huts, hands and handkerchiefs In honor of the actual president of the I'nlted States. During the reading of the call the "Chicago marching club" entered one of the galleries and was received with cheers. The next busi ness In order was declared to be Ibe call of states In order to ascertain who were present. The call was ut tended with: amusing mid exciting Incident. The secretary reported that the com plete roll of staes ahowted that forty-one had responded to tho call, l.oud cries were ruined In the body of the convention for a call of the territories also. Alaska responded "Alaska is here" und the delegate who thus responded was greeted Willi loud upphtuse. Arlzoiiu and New Mexico Were also found to be represented and by a vote of the convention these delegates, though their territories were not In cluded In the call, were permitted to take part in the proceedings. Oklu hoina and Indian territory were not represented. When the call was completed, Sena tor Palmer called fur a report from the national committee. KKPORT OF COMM1TTKH. The report was read by Mr. Bren nun. of Wisconsin, as follows: "Pursuant to the call for this con vention the delegates elected thereto have been reported to the secretary of the ii-.itloiiiil committee. From this re port it appears that delegates have been selected ami are present from 41 states. Those in which no delegates have ur riveil are, Wyoming, Idaho, I' tali, and Nevada. In Justice to the line Dem ocracy of those stales it should be slated that lin y are so far distant from the heudciuui ters of the executive com mittee tha:t the time iivuiliiblo for cor respondence and orguni&it ion has been relatively so short and the population of said stutes so widely scattered thai It has been Impossible to take the nec essary stew to form local organi.iitlons and secure election of delegates to this convention. Democrats of true faith in those Slavs doubtless regret the ub sence of representatives from this con vention us deeply as can 'the conven tion. Although territories are not men tioned In the cull for the convention the Democrucy of the territories of Alaska, Arizona and New Mexico have gal lantly sent delegations. "We recommend that the delegates re ported to the secretary shall be en titled to participate in the preliminary organ istat Ion of the convention and that, those who are present and alternates for those absent, if any, shall be en titled to east he full number of voles to which their respective states are en titled. "We recommend that until otherwise ordered the rules of the Democratic convention which was held In ISU2 shall govern Ihe deliberations of tills con vention. "We recommend that nil resolutions be referred to the appropriate coinmit-t-e without rending. "We recommend the following tem porary olllccrs of this convention: Chairman, ex-iiovcrnor Koswell P. Flower, of Watertown, N. Y.; secretary. John It. Wilson, Indianapolis: sergeant-at-arms, Waller P. Kelsley, Indianapo lis." The reading of this report was inter rupted by frequent applause, particular ly that passage which recommended that the rules of the last national Demo cratic convention, "held In be adopted ns the rules of this convention. Senaior Palmer designated (lovernor Jones, of Alabama, and lieorge Foster Poahody to conduct ex- lovernor Flower to the chair and then Mi. Palmer sur rendered his gavel and (lovernor Flower spoke as follows: UOV1CK.NOU FLOWER'S 8PKKCIL Tills gathering Is notice to the world that the Democratic party has not vt surrendered lo Populism und Anarchy. The true principles of Democracy, expounded by Jefferson anil cxemphlled through a century of nntiunal history, are not dead because those principles huve been re pudiated by a convention calling Itself Democratic but 'controlled by un-demo-cratlc Influences. Those are true Demo crats who remain true to the principles of their party ami who refuse to lie bound by parly declarations which betrays parly faiths and threaten both party and coun try with disaster. Kvery Democrat here has only political humiliation to expect ill the event of the success of the Chicago ticket. No Demo crat honored here by being thre candidate of this convention can look forward with uny reasonable hope to an election. Noue of us who help to nominate his can expect to be participants In any distribution of political favors. We are here because we love tho Democratic party and because we love our country. That is the Inspiration which has drawn us together and encour ages our action. That is the fact which evidences our sincerity and makes our cause strong with the people. For myself. 1 can say that for over a half century I have been unflinching In my support of Democratic princlples.and I do not propose to gf hem up now, even If have to holt my party platform and ticket In ordr to maintain these princi ples. The danger of the Chicago platform lies not alone nor chiefly In Its declaration for a financial policy which would be ruinous. The danger lies In the revolutionary In fluences which controlled the convention and animated Its platform. Men may just ly differ as to the best scheme of nation al llnance and may debate their differ ences without recrimination or without questioning the honesty of motives, itut wen men. led on by ambitious poli ticians, their minds 11 red not by the ex ample of American patriots, but by that of the radicals of the Frtnch revolution. overturn party precedents and pack a convention to secure an effective major ity, then by aid of that majority raise aloft the Incendiary banner of the poor against the rich, attack the Integrity of the (Supreme court, threaten the subver tlon of national Institutions and the Indi rect perversion of constitutional guaran tees, Incite disrespect to law and author ity, suggest and ia substance recommend the repudiation of. national and private debts, and reject by Intended Implication the fundamental principle of Democracy that that government governs best which governs least then it Is time nut only for Democrats to forsake that motley and un Amerlean gathering, to reject that un Democrailet and un-American enuncia tion of doctrines, and so join, In such msti manner as may seem best, with all pa triots who cherish their country's honor and wish to protect the welfare of Its people. I mistake the moral sense of the Ameri can people if the action of the Populists at Chicago, reinforced ami emphasised by the ud km of the Populists at St. IajuIs, has not rekindled the spirit of American patriotism and uwnkem-d the American conscience lo the national dangers which lurk In the forces and Influences behind Kryun and Sen all or Bryan and Watson. The real Issue In this campaign Is an Is sue of patriotism. In many a presidential elet'tiuii lias the fight waged fiercely be tween the advocates of different political doctrines and the ruin of the country lias been freely predicted If either set of due. trlncs were established, as the policy (f the government such predictions being merely the extreme expression of party politics: hut In this election the Issues around which the buttle ia waning involve the Integrity of our institutions ami the Kucredness of our national honor, and when men have stirred that deep well of sentiment, unllnury party differences dis appear, the moral Issue predominates, and ull good clizens stand shoulder to shoulder uKulust those who would iletlle the Amer ican name and undermine the walls of her political structure. ' Mr. ltiyau takes pains to reiterate. In about every second speech, that tie stands squarely on the Chicago plutform and sup ports every olie of Its planks. He has nut yet announced his acceptunce of all the planks of the Populist platfunn, but In asmuch as these are only different In de gree and he has been Identified with Pop ulism quite as much us with Democracy, It Is but fair lo assume that he stands on both platforms. Not quite So frank OS Tom iitsuu, he la nevertheless a fit rep-re.-eilttttlve of the revolutionary forced behind him ambitious, unsteady and un sute. Ul.YI KTALLISTS .MI'ST BLUSH. Kven the advocacy of free silver coinage by Hryan and iiiuuy of his associates is only a cloak for the spirit of revolution behind It. Kvery true bimetalllst must blush to huve his cause dependent for success upon those who would reorganize the Supreme court when Its decisions do not please u puny convention, who would repudiate the national debt If free silver colnuse did not accomplish bimetallism, who would uttempt to destroy the sanc tity of private contracts, who would have the government tuke and operate the country's rullrouds and telegraphs who would restrain the strong arm of the law from the suppression of disorder. Kven If 1 believed that free soliinge of silver by the failed States Independently mid alone would, under proper conditions, restore bimetallism. I could not bring myself to entrust so dellcuio and Important an un dertaking to men of Hryan's experience or associations, and I would suffer forever the ulleged evils of a ttold stundurd before I would be u purty to Contempt for lnw. to an murk on our Ugliest court and to a subversion of our form of government by loudlug It ilnn will) uiiKOVenimentul functions. l!i ion' such a spectacle bow would the shinies of Jefferson, Jackson aul Til'len shedder and shrink. The revolutionary spirit which forced liryun's nomination Is manifest in hla speeches now being delivered throughout the country. Ills conspicuous failure at Madison Square Carden to advance the cause of sliver by close argument has in duced him tf abandon the weapons of the logician and statesman and to employ the urts of the orator. From the rear end of cars he lias been Hinging out social and political lireliiiiinls among the people, lie appeals to the base instincts of the Ifcnor ani or to the misery of the distressed. He strives to array class uxalnst duss, to Incite employes against employer, to stir up debtor uK'dnsl creditor, to inske this a contest of the poor against the rich. May fiod prevent this Incendiary's work! Against such threatened calamities we have met as Democrats und us patriots to protest. Our purpose Is too serious to permit differences on minor matters or personal Jealousies to divide our councils or weaken our influence. vye have come here ss Democrats to exert such Influences us we limy huve among Democrats for the good of our country and the preservation of our party ornanliailon for other periods of usefulness. Renouncing as iin-Dciuo-crutio the work of the party oriju nidation at Chlcaso. let us be true to every Demo cratic Instinct at Indianapolis. Let no man say that In this convention uny false note of Democracy was sounded. t-W stand for nil thai should Inspire good citi zenship for honest money, enforcement of law and order, respect for authority, the preservation of the national credit, the Just payment of debts, the dignity ami welfare of labor, the prosperity ami fair name of America. Culled in such a cause we can go forward with the American flag us our banner und the words "National Democrats" Inscribed on lis folds. We know no sectional Issue or Interest. We stand behind the bread shield of patriot ism mid In that sli;n we shall conquer. At the close of Chairman Flower's ad dress the slates were called fur the se lection of members of the committees on crtdeniiiils. rules ami resolutions and also vice-presidents.

The convention reassembled at 4.2ft with a full uttendunce of delegutes und the galleries packed with spectators, a large proportion of whom were ladies in summer costumes. One of the inter esting links connecting the Democratic party of the present day with that of half a century ago was furnished by the presence In the Minnesota delegation of a man who voted for Martin Van Piireu for the presidency. The chairman of the committee on credentials. Mr. J. II. Prennun. or Wis consin, made a report to the effect that there were 821 delegates present, repre senting 41 states und three territories, and recommending that those present be entitled to cost the full votes of their stutes and territories. Tills was agreed to. B. Everett, of Mass., was introduced to till up tho time with a speech until the report on permanent organization should be ready. He uddressed the con vention as fellow patriots and said Mas sachusetts had sent her delegation, near ly sixty strong, to aid in repelling the Invasion which had risen up against the ancient honor and credit of the whole country. tCheers.)

Thu booming of cannon an nounced his univul. The crush from the steps of the car to the platform was simply lerribh, L'0,000 people being pres ent. Mr. Bryan spoke In part us follows: "Our opponent is trying to throw upon Providence the faults fur our conditions. If a farmer complulrts he Is not making much out of his potulu crop they tell him it is due to the potato bug. If he Is not making much out of corn, they tell him It Is due to the chinch bug. If he Is not making much out of wheat, they tell him It Is due to the army worm. But let me tell you the gold bug is de stroying more crops thun ull of them. iGreut laughter.) The farmer is the most helpless victim of clrctiuiHtunces of ull the producers of wealth. If a uiun Is engaged In manufacturing und finds the demund is decreasing he can close his factory and stop the expense of production, but the farmer can't. When he plants his crop in the spring he docs not know whether there Is go ing to be a Hood or a drought. Whether it is going to be hut winds or cold hail. He takes his chances and I assert when he has taken more chances than everybody else and survives all the pes tilence and calamities that visit the farm, it is not fair to drive him between the bulls and bears of Wall street and let them take from him what Is left. IGreut laughter and uppluuse.) The Democrats of this slate have dune well against great odds. In spite of great lnlliiences the Democrats of this state declare far the restoration of the money of the constitution. You met your op ponents In open conflict and by super iority of numbers overcame thein. What do they do? The very people who have been culling all silver Democrats, I'opir llsts, who are trying to read us out of the party for years, when they found they could not rend us out, instead of going out to some other party und giv ing us thu name we have proven our right to, they try to go out and take the name with them, and call us anarchists because we don't go with them. (Ap plause.) I understand these gold slun dard Democrats, by resolution declared their emblem should be the hickory tree. We have heard about Satan stealing the livery of heaven, but we have never be fore seen men try to use the name of that great hero and statesman, to undo all he ti led to do. (Cries of "go on.") Talk about Andrew Jackson belonging to the gold butr Democrucy. (Laugh ter.) Go buck to the time of Andrew Jackson and whom hud he arrayed against him? The very men who after trying to use the Democratic purty for private gain and having failed, are now trying- to elect the Republican candi date for president by nominating a gold standard candidate. (Cries of "they can't do It.") They take a hickory tree for their emblem. Why don't they get something appropriate? Why don't they put upon their ballot the picture of an owl? (Laughter.) Nothing1 could lie more appropriate. It looks wise and does Its work at night. (Laughter.) Or if they don't like the owl take the mole. It is a slick animal and works under ground all the time. (Great laughter and ap plause.) But they ought to spare the ssjered memory vf the man who wm Um hero of New Orleans and whose resting place.

Reaching: Urbuna at 10.45 Mr. Bryan found there an enthusiastic audience of about a thousand people, who flocked, around the rear platform of the candi date's car and cheered loudly. Mr. Bryan was presented as the next presi dent of the United States, end In re sponse he said, that whether or not this prediction would prove true would de pend to a great extent on what the peoples about the car would do this fall. If they bcllved in a gold standard, he said, they should vote for his oppon ent, but if they did not wish a gold standard he had a right to expect their support. Mrs. Bryan was also Intro duced to thfl gathering" and was given three cheers as the train drew out. A large number of men, women, boys and miners bearing slips of yellow paper containlg the Inscription "McKinley club" were found in the crowd of sev eral hundred gathered at Bellefontaine.

TOM BUTLER WON. first in the Mile International Bicy cle Mace at Springlield. Springfield, Mass., Sept. 2. The close finishes, fust time and the lack of dis agreeable features made the big bicycle meet an Immense success. The great tournament of '96 brought together at Hampden Park the most representative American talent ever seen at a tournu nietit. But the time made in various events was not so uniformly fast as lust year. This Is undoubtedly due to the fact that the pacing was this year by single riders last year by tandems. The Tace of the duy was, of course, the one mile International, professional, In whloh all the "big" men of the sea son's previous meets appeared. Tom Butler won. and in the best form, by a grand spurt ut the lust turn. Cooper finished second, by hulf a wheel, where as fractions nf inches measured the dis tance between Gardiner and Bald. Bald claimed that - joper pushed him In the confusion on the upper turn of the sec ond lap, which resulted in Newton's full, and protested him. Referee Robin son this evening heard the evidence. Cooper admitted pushing Raid and was disqualified and fined $00. Sanger Iln ished tenth. The complete superiority of Tom But ler over the rest of the riders was clear ly demonstrated.
