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

subversion of our form of government by

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

we can go forward with the American flag
us our banner und the words "National

know no sectional Issue or Interest. We
stand behind the bread shield of patriot

Spectacle at Springfield.
Springfield. O., Sept. 2. The train
bearing Mr. Kryun arrived here at D.H5
u. m. 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. The Hermitage, Is the mecca of
all who love Democratic priticlpl'es
still. (Great applause.)
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.
The men hud pinned to their hats and
the women to their pursols and
dreesses. Even the carriages and wag
ons drawn up at he station hire the
golden labels.

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

Cooper admitted pushing Raid and was
disqualified and fined $00. Sanger Iln

The complete superiority of Tom But
