In the livening.
KANSAS CITY, July ti.—William
Jennings liryan was nominated last night
for president hy the Democratic national
convention on a 10 to 1 platform.
The nomination was made by acclama
tion after a presentation followed by
scenes of delirious excitement. For more
than half an hour the vast audience of
•jii.iiun persons gave themselves up to
demonstrations of delight, cheering wild
ly while the delegates marched about the
hall with Hags, state standards and ex
temporized banners with inscriptions up
on them, borne high in the air.
The big hall was crowded when the sec
ond day's work of the Democratic na
tional convention began.
Mr. itichardson now announced that
the platform committee was not ready to
report, and, pending word from them, he
invited to the platform ex-Governor Hogg
of Texas to address the convention.
The giant form of the Texan advanced
lo the front and was greeted enthusias-

tieally. lie was in good voice, and his
words reverberated through the hall.
At the termination of Governor Hogg's
address Chairman Itichardson stepped
forward to say a l'ew works to Sergeant
at arms Martin, and the crowd took ad
vantage of the opportunity to start the
cry of "llill!" It came from all quar
ters of the galleries, but practically lit
tle of it from the delegates. Mingled
with the calls were hisses.
Chairman Itichardson wielded his gavel
vigorously and when order was restored
in some degree announced:
"Gentlemen, I have the honor to intro
duce to you Hon. A. M. Doeker.v, Mis
souri's favorite sou."
Mr. 1 >ockcry was warmly received,
and his prompt attack upon the conduct
of the Republican administration for its
management of the Philippine question
was greeted with the usual demonstra
t ions of applause.
Other speakers were Mayor Itose of
Milwaukee, E, McCullough of Indian
apolis and Governor lleckhani of Ken
tucky. I-'inally the committee on resolu
tions, not being ready to report, adjourn
ment was taken to p. in.
It was not until I o'clock that Chair
man Itichardson, turning from a confer
ence with Governor McMillin and Sena
tor White, picked up the gavel and
brought the convention to order for the
second session of the day. The platform
committee, headed by Senator Jones, D.
J. Campau, Senator Tillman and Judge
Van Wyck, bad just pushed their way
through the dense throngs and, proceed
ing to the platform, had taken seats fac
ing the chairman. Mr. Itichardson ap
pealed long and vainly for order. The
portly form of Senator Jones, silver hair
ed and serious, advanced lo the front of
the stage. He held a roll of manuscript
in his hands. Hut it was useless to talk
against such a tumult, and he dropped
back in his seat until order was restored.
At last the confusion ceased, and Mr.
Jones announced, "1 am authorized by
the committee on resolutions to present
the platform agreed upon."
Senator Tillman then read the docu
ment. llis voice throughout was admira
ble. and he made himself heard through
out the vast hall. His reading was force
ful and effective.
When the applause had subsided.
Chairman Jones of the platform commit
tee said he had been instructed to move
that the platform be adopted by the con
vention by acclamation.
The motion was put, and amid a roar
of cheers tli • platform was adopted with
out a v. i-l i.f dissent. The announce
ment of Chairman itichardson of the
adoption of the platform was followed
by a stunning shout which made the
building ring from one end to the other.
Following is the ollieial text of the
more important planks of the platform
as agreed upon by the committee on res
olutions and adopted by the convention:
We. the representatives of the Demo
cratic party of the United St .o- assem
bled in convention on tin inuiversary of
the adoption of the Declaration of Inde
pendence. do reaffirm our faith in that Im
mortal proclamation of the Inalienable
rights of men and our allegiance to the
constitution framed in harmony therewith
by the fathers of the republli We hold,
with the I' lilted States supreme court,
that the Declaration of Independence is
the spirit of our government, of which
the constitution is the form and letter.
We declare again that all governments In
* 111 u ted among men derlvi their just
powers from the consent of the governed;
that any government not based upon the
consent of the governed is a tyranny and
that to Impose upon any people a govern
ment of force Is to substitute tin methods
ol Imperialism for those of a republic. We
hold that the constitution follows the Hag
vrnl denounce the doctrine that an • xi eu
.Vi or eongreHH eh riving their existence
and their powers from the constitution
ran exercise lawful authority beyond it or
in violation of it. We assert that no na
tion can long endurc half republic and
half empire, and we warn the American
people that imperialism abroad will lead
quickly and inevitably to despotism at
home. Relieving in thefse fundamental
principles, we denounce the Porto Rico
law, enact«d by a Republican congress
ugainst the protest and opposition of the
Democratic, minority, as a bold and open
violation of the nation's organic law and
a tlagrant breach of the national good
faith. It imposes upon the people of Porto
Rico a government without their consent
and taxation without representation. It
dishonors the American people by repudi
ating u solemn pledge made in their be
half by the commanding general of our
army, which the Porto Rlcans welcomed
to a peaceful and unresisted occupation* of
their land, it doomed to poverty and dis
tress a people whose helplessness appeals
with peculiar force to our Justice and
magnanimity. In this, the first act of its
imperialistic programme, the Republican
party seeks to commit the United States
to a colonial policy, inconsistent with Re
publican institutions and condemned by
tile supreme court in numerous decisions.
We demand the prompt and honest ful
fillment of our pledges to the Cuban peo
ple and the world that the United States
has 110 disposition nor intention to exer
cise sovereignty, jurisdiction or control
over the island of Cuba except for its
pacification. The war ended nearly two
years ago. profound peace reigns over all
the island, and still the administration
keeps the government of the island from
its people while Republican carpet bag
officials plunder its revenues and exploit
the colonial theory to the disgrace of the
American people.
We condemn and denounce the Philip
pine policy of the present administration.
It has involved the republic in unneces
sary war, sacrificed the lives of many of
our noblest sons and placed the United
States, previously known and applauded
throughout the world as the champion of
freedom, in the false and un-American
position of crushing with military force
the efforts of our former allies to achieve
liberty and self government. The Filipi
nos cannot he citizens without endanger
ing our oivilization: they cannot be sub
jects without imperiling our form of gov
ernment, and as we are not willing to sur
render our civilization or to convert the
republic into an empire we favor an im
mediate declaration ot' the nation's pur
pose to give to the Filipinos—first, a sta
ble form of government; second, indepen
dence. and third, protection from outside
interference, such as has been given for
nearly a century to the republics of Cen
tral and South America.
The greedy commercialism which dic
tated the Philippine policy of the Repub
lican administration attempts to justify
it with the plea that it will pay. but even
this sordid and unworthy plea fails when
brought to the test of facts. The war of
criminal aggression against the Filipinos,
entailing an annual expense of many mil
lions, has already cost more than any pos
sible profit that could accrue from the en
tire Philippine trade l'or years to come.
Furthermore, when trade is extended at
the expense of liberty the price Is always
too high.
The importance of other questions now
pending before tin- American people Is in
nowise diminished, and the Democratic
party takes no backward step from its po
sition on them, but the burning issue of
imperialism growing out of the Spanish
war involves the very existence of the re
public and the destruction of our free in
stitutions. We regard it as the paramount
issue of the campaign.
Private monopolies are indefensible and
intolerable. They destroy competition,
control the price of all material and of the
finished product, thus robbing both pro
ducer and consumer. They l< saen the em
ployment of labor and arbitrarily tix the
terms and conditions thereof and deprive
individual energy and -mall capital of
their opportunity for betterment.
They are the most efficient means yet
devised for appropriating tile fruits of In
dustry to the benefit of the few at the ex
pense of the many, and unless their Insa
tiate greed is cheeked all wealth will be
aggregated in a few hands and the re
public destroyed. The dishonest paltering
with the trust evil by the Republican par
ty instate and national platforms is con
clusive proof of the truth of the charge
that trusts are the legitimate product of
Republican policies, that they are fostered
by Republican laws and that they are
protected by the Republican administra
tion in return for campaign subscriptions
and political support.
We pledge the Democratic party to an
unceasing warfare in nation, state and
city against private monopoly in every
form.
We condemn the Dlngley tariff law as n
trust breeding measure, skillfully devised
to give the few favors which they do not
desire and to place upon the many bur
dens which they should not bear.
We reaffirm and indorse the principles
of the Democratic national platform
adopted at Chicago in 1 vjt;. and we reiter
ate the demand of that platform for an
American financial system made by the
American people for themselves which
shall restore and maintain a bimetallic
price level and as part of such system the
Immediate restoration of the free and un
limited coinage of silver and gold at the
present legal ratio of It! to 1. without wait
ing for the consent of any other nation.
We denounce the currency bill enacted
at the last session of congress as a step
forward in the R. publican policy which
aims to discredit the sovereign right of
the national government to issue all mon
ey. whether coin or paper, and to bestow
upon national banks the power to Issue
and control the volume of paper money
for their own bent lit. A permanent na
tional bank currency, secured by govern
ment bonds, must h tve a p 'rtnanent debt
to rest upon, and if the bank currency Is
to increase with population and business
the debt must also increase. The Repub
lican currency scheme is therefore a
scheme for fastening upon the taxpayers
a perpetual and growing debt.
U'e favor the continuance and strict en
forcement of the Chinese exclusion law
and its application to the same classes of
ail Asiatic races.
Jefferson said. "Pence, commerce and
honest friendship with all nations; en
tangling alliances with none."
We approve this \vho!ose»me doctrine
and earnestly protest a -.iinst the Repub
lican departure which has involved us in
so called policies, including the diplomacy
of Europe and the intrigue and land grab
bing ot Asia, and we > specially condemn
the 111 aleil Republican alliance with
England which must mean discrimination
against other j'r;*ndlj nations and which
lias already stilled the nation's voice
while liberty Is being strangled In Africa.
Believing In the principles of self gov
ernment and rejecting, as did our forefa
thers. the claim of monarch)' we view
with indignation the purpo eof England
to overwhelm with force the South Af
rican republics. Speaking, is we do, for
the entire American nation except its Re
publican officeholders and for all free men
everywhere, we extend our sympathies to
the heroic burghers in their unequal strug
gle to maintain their liberty and Inde
pendence.
We denounce the lavish appropriations
of recent Republican congresses, which
have kept taxes high and wl.Vli threaten
trade with perpetuation of the oppressive
war levies. We oppose the accumulation
of a surplus to be squandered In such
barefaced frauds upon the taxpayers as
the shipping jntbsidy bill, which, under
tl ■ falsi- pretense of prospering Asm i lean
.shipbuilding, would put lint arned millions
S111• > the pockets of favorite contributors
to the Republican campaign fund. W.
favor llii reduction and speedy repeal of
the war taxes and a return to the time
honored Democratic policy of strict econ
omy of government expenditures.
V\ e favor the ham li itc en-a ruction,
ownership ami eoininl ol the Xicaiaguu
canal by tin I'niud Slates, and we de
nounce the insincerity > i Ine plank in the
Republican platform for an isthmian ca

his appearance was ar. cteil with cheers.
Mr. Davis in a hriei speech announced
his withdrawal from the Republican
party.
At 5:1-1 p. in. n motion was curried to
proceed to tlie nominal ion of a cundidnte
for president. '1 In roll was called, and
Alubuiiui \ ielded to Nebraska. Mr. Old
ham took the pint form to placi Itryaii in
nomination. Ills eiilogj of Mr. Ilryuii
was delivered with impassioned fervor.
A lie approached the <ln • of his address
he raised both hand- high over hi- head
•ud poki -lo\vl> and with an energy
that caused his voice to penetrate Into
every corner of the hull.
"And that uinn is William Jemiini;*
Bryan." he concluded. hringiiiK hi* hands
lower with each word until the Inst hud
been uttered, when he brought theiu up
with a sweep, but quicker than his mo
tion was the answering cheer that swept
across the convention. It was a simulta
neous roar from all parts of the hall. Up
went the delegates npon their chairs,
over their heads went the Hags, and
above them all soared and rang tin
cheers for Bryan. The band loyally per
formed its share, but the noise of its cre
ation was but a drop in tho torrent. The
men from the state of Nebraska tlung up
a large banner bearing a likeness of Mr.
Bryan upon one side and upon the other
the word "Nebraska" and a smaller por
trait. Mr. Oldham spoke in part as fol
lows:
More than 100 years ago the Continental
congress of America adopted a declara
tion which had been drafted by the
founder of the Democratic party, and the
joyous tones of the old liberty bell which
greeted the ant announced to a waiting
world that a nation had been born.
With hearts unchilled by the saltish sen
timents of cold commercialism you have
responded patriotically to each sentiment
contained In Democracy's lirst plutform
as It was read to you at the opening of
this convention, and in view of the radical
departure which the party in power has
made from the principles set forth in that
historic document it Is meet that we—true
ADLAI E. STEVENSON.
believers in the republic of old—should,
when choosing a Held and forming our
lines for the bloodless battle of ballots
now Impending, say In the language of
one of tho loved patriots of long ago:
"Read this declaration at the head of the
army, and every sword shall be drawn
from Its scabbard and a solemn vow tak
en to maintain It or to perish on the bed
of honor."
Democratic skies are tinged with a
rosier hue today than when we met In
convention four years ago.
While discord, with her flaming torch
confused the counsels there, from out the
Sunset Realm a champion came and bid
detiance to the oncoming host.
With the strength of youth and tho wis
dom of age, with knightly mien and
matchless speech, he towered above his
peers, and all who saw him then with one
accord did hall him "Chief," and gave our
party's banner to his band. Slowly despalr
gave way to hope; confidence took the
place where timorous feet had been; the
broken, shattered columns formed again,
and behind him. singing, came 8.a00.000
valiant men to that unequal tight.
For four years he hus waged on unceas
ing warfare against the people's enemies
—for four years he has held up tho party's
standard, and his voice has cheered the
hosts of Democracy In every state and
territory.
When the trusts began to Increase under
the protection of a Republican adminis
tration, he was the first to point out the
danger and prescribe a remedy.
When the alarums of a war for humani
ty roused the heroic spirit of our land, he
offered his sword to his country's cause
on the day that war was declared.
With the Issues now clearly drawn, no
doubt remains as to the name of our can
didate. On that question we are a reunit
ed Democracy.
Already worthy allies, differing from us
rather in name than faith, have shouted
for our gallant leader again, and every
state and territory has instructed its dele
gates to this convention to vote for him
here. So it only remains for Nebraska to
pronounce the name that has been thun
dered forth from tho foot of Bunker Hill
ami echoed back from Sierras' sunset
slope ami that reverberates among the
pine clad, snow capped hills of the north
and rises up from the slumbering, flower
scented savannahs of the south, and that
name Is the name of William Jeusliigs
Hryan, her best loved son.
When the demonstration had spent It
self, the speeches seconding the uoniina
tiou of Mr. Bryan were iu order. Senator
White spoke for California, giving the
tribute of the l'acific coast to the Ne
braska candidate. When Colorado was
reached, that state yielded to Senator llill
of New York. The audience had anx
iously awaited the appearance of the dis
tinguished New Yorker, and as he took
the platform he was accorded a splendid
reception, the entire audience rising aud
cheering wildly with the single exception
of the little group of Tammany leadei-H,
who sat silent throughout the cheers for
their New York associate. Mr. Hill was
in line voice, and his tribute to the Ne
braskan touched a sympathetic cord in
the heart* of the audience. Several
oiher speeches were made. Then came
the voting. State alter state recorded its
vote iu behalf of the Nebraska candidate
and giving him the unanimous vote of
all the states and territories. The con
vention managers had already agreed
that this was sufficient work for the day,
and the vice presidential nomination was
allowed togo over.
The great battle of the convention has
not been fought under the eyes of cheer
ing thousands, but in the privacy of the
closely guarded quarters of the commit
tee on plutform. Here was waged
throughout Wednesday night uud oguin
yesterday morning one of the most re
inarkable struggles that has ever racked
this historic party. On the one hand wus
the influence of Bryan and the absolute
unity of devotion felt toward him and
the cause of silver with which his name
is inseparably linked. Ou the other hand
were many of the patriarchs of the par
ly, men like Daniel of Virginia, insist
ing that the very life of the organisation
was endangered by changing its old Is
sues and that the duty of the hour called
for new issues based on new and vital
events. And out of this fierce strife the
adherents of Bryan emerged scarred but
victorious. They have written the plat
form in their own way, with lti to 1. But
it was a victory by a scratch, for a single
vote would have turned the scale. And
it has not been a victory without conces
sion, for iu the final draft silver Is uo
longer "paramount." It is far down In
the platform, while in the very forefront
is tin.' declaration that Imperialism is the
"paramount issue of this eampaigu."
VICE PRESIDENT NAMED.
Slevenaon of Illinois Nomliinted oa

KANSAS CITY, .luly 7.- The Demo

after stute joining iu the wild scramble
to record their support of the wiuuing
candidate It \va-< not un ouipasied by
any suck frantic demonstration of ap
(irovnl as had marked t In* proceedings at
previous stapes, all hough the result fol
lowed a spirited and at times highly
draniatie contest between the advocates
of Stevenson. Tow lie, II ill and the lesser
i andidates. The distinct triumph of the
day in the way of a popular ovation was
that accorded to Senator Hill and in its
spuutaueity and enthusiasm was one of
the most notable f< utures the convention
Las produced. It was accompanied, too,
by it remarkable scene win n Hill ear
nestly protested to his friends against
being placed in nomination ami then,
finding his protest in vain, when lie
strode to the platform and in tones
which left no doubt of their sincerity
parnestly besought the convention not to
make him the nominee.
Senator Jones of Arkansas has been re

MANILA, July !l.—The past week's
scouting in Luzon resulted in 11 Ameri
cans being killed and lti being wounded.
One hundred and sixty Filipinos were
killed during the week, and eight Amer
icans who hail been prisoners in the
hands of the rebels were surrendered
and 100 rifles were turned over to the
United States otlieials.
The enemy ambushed a wagon train
between Indang and Naic.
The Third infantry lost nine men while
ou an expedition to punish the ladrones
in the delta of the Itio Grande.
In the Autigue province of I'anay a
running tight of three hours' duration
resulted in the killing or wounding of
70 of the enemy. There were no casual
ties among the Americans.
The insurgents are slowly accepting
the amnesty provisions. In some in
stances the Americans are suspending
operations iu order td give the rebels an
opportunity to take advantage of the
decree.
Many paroled rebel officers are agi
tating for the formation of native regi
ments for service with the Americans iu
China. They say that they would be
able to raise 10,000 men accustomed to
arms for this purpose, and as for the sol
dierlike qualities of the Filipinos they
point out the famous Seventy-third regi
ment, composed of natives, which served
under Spain.

XKVV YORK. July 7. —The tire at the
Standard Oil company's works at Bay
onne, which was Kindled by a stroke of
lightning shortly before midnight July
B, is practically under control. It was
thought yesterday in the afternoon that
the lire In tanks 10 and 14 would extend
to 0 and 13 and thus render the whole
plant subject to total destruction. The
effortsof the combined tire departments of
the Tidewater and Standard companies,
using 14 streams, to keep the two threat
ening factors cool were successful, and
despite au unfavorable wind the tanks
did not ignite.
The official estimate of damage is
400,000. The Standard Oil company in
sures itself, a fund being set aside for
that purpose.
The Bayonue fire companies have been
at work <«;itiiiuuusly for Htl hours. The
loss is as follows: Twenty oil tanks and
contents destroyed, paraffin plant, in
cluding pressroom, in which was install
ed very expensive machinery; the sweet

crude stills, 15 t'iiion line tank cars and
contents and four cars of the Central
