Denver t Special).- The Democrat -lc
National Convention has been all
night long at 'he noisy work of nomi
nating Br; un and making a Bryan
platform at the same firm-
In the lone session of the com
mitter on resolutions former Fnlled
1 States Senator Dubois, of Idaho,
i mail" an effort to secure the inser
i tion in the platform of an anti-polygamy
dank. He read a telegram
from Mr. Bryan to the latter's broth-
er In response to a message on the
I Mormon question, In which Mr.
' Bryan said:
"I have not taken any part or ex
pressed any opinion on the subject
referred to In your telegram. There
are several States especially interested
In that subject, and 1 ihlnk they
should all be permitted to present
their views and that ihe committee
on resolutions should then decide the
question according to Its Judgment.
It will not be Influenced one way
or another by me."
The convention was held up all day
by the platform committee. The
only thing accomplished at the ses-

AUDITORIUM AT DENVER WHERE THE DEMO
CRATIC NATIONAL CONVENTION MET.
At midnight the platform had been
made and Bryan bad been placed
in nomination, and, in fact, has been
twice nominated in the two session.-,
of the convention, with the exception
of the formality of recording the
vote.
There hag been a red-hot fight in
the committee on resolutions against
the Bryan plank providing for the
creation of a Government fund to
guarantee deposits In solvent nation
al banks, with a rider providing thai
depositors in Stair banks may par
ticipate. While the committee was wrestling

Permanent Chairu.an.
with the platform the convention,
which held one Joyously riotous ses
alon during the day, met again at
night and filled in the time while
walling for the committee by placing
the candidates for nomination.
In almost every way Bryan has
been supreme and he has consented
to a statement in the platform that
the Democratic party never did at
tack the courts, thus adopting the
Republican subterfuge at Chicago to
temper the severity of the antl-in-junttlon
plunk to the conservatives.
slon was to perfect the permanent
organization and listen to the speech
of the permanent chairman. It is
understood that the anti-Mormon res
olution was what caused the great
est delay. Mr. Bryan having to be
consulted on the plank proposed
from Idaho, about which he was In
doubt.
It was just 7.10 o'clock when
Chairman Clayton began to rap for
order, which he secured within the
minute. Mr. Clayton recognized Mr.
MrQuiston, of Pennsylvania, who an
nounced the selection of .lames Kerr
as member of the national committee
from that State in place of James
j M. Guffey, who was selected before
the Pennsylvania contests were set
tled. "Without objection the selection
of Mr. Kerr will be considered as
; ratified," said the Chairman and a
! moment later added:
"The Chair hears none, and the
i selection of Mr. Kerr Is ratified."
Cheering and a few hisses greeted
the announcement.
Ollie James, of Kentucky, moved
that a committee of three he nppoinl-
ed again to wait on the platform com
mittee and uncertain when It would
be ready. The motion prevailed and
I Mr. JamcB. J. Thomas Hefiln, of
I Alabama, and F. P. Lynch, of Mln
I nesota. were named. Mr. Lynch's ap
' point ment was the first recognition
the adherents of Governor Johnson
had received in the choice of conven
tion committees.
Pending the report of the commii
tee of Inquiry, Thomas P. Ball, o!
Texas, was invited to address the
convention.
In November next." said Chair
man Clayton, "we will witness in
New York the Tammany Tiger
drowning the Republican elephant.
Therefore, 1 Invite to the stand for
a spi ch from a Democrat to a Demo
cratic convention, Senator Thomas
F. Grady, of New York."
Senator Grady was given a moat
enthusiastic welcome as he appear
ed on the rostrum. When he de
clared that, the convention could
nominate no candidate and adopt no
platform tha: would not receive the
united and enthusiastic support of
the New York Democracy, he wa
given still greater applause and re
turned to his seat amid cries of
"Grady," "Hurrnh for Grady."
Following Senator Gra ly Chair
man Clayton Introduced Judge N. J.
Wade, of Iowa, "a representative of
the great corn State."
Mr. Wade is the new national com
mitteeman from Iowa.
It was In these wotds that Chair
man Clayton introduced the next
speaker, whose appearance on the
platform was a signal for great
cheering.
When quiet was restored the Chair
recognized Representative Ollle
James, of Kentucky, of the commit
tee sent to ascertain the probability
of an early report from the commit
tee on resolutions'. Mr. James re
ported that the committee would
not be ready to report before mid
night. He then made a motion that
the rules he suspended and that the
nominating speeches lor Presidential
candidates be made, with the under
standing, however, that no ballot

flags were tossed aloft and a roar
of applause swept through the hall.
While the cheering wns at its height
a white dove was let loose from the
gallery, and It flew across the con
vention hall, while the delegates
hailed it with great enthusiasm and
cheered as long as it was in Bight.
Mr. Dunn brught out the name
of "William Jennings Bryan" with In
tense dramatic force and the re
sponse from the great throng was
electric. The delegates sprang up,
the galleries followed suit, and the
demonstration was under way in a
manner that for the time being at
least promised to rival yesterday's
exhibition of enthusiasm.
After 30 minutes of the demon
stration the pounding of Chairman
Clayton's Immense gavel could be
heard above the roar of the crowd.
At first, however. It seemed only to
serve as an incentive to greater out
pouring of what seemed to be an
inexhaustible supply of Bryan cheers.
At 10.20 P. M.. when the demon
stration's last cry had died away,
Chairman Clayton directed the sec
retary to continue calling the roll
of States. Arkansas passed and
California yielded to Oregon. Ex
Senator Gearln, of that State, then
was introduced to Becond the nomi

Arkansas, which had passed early
In the roll, gave way to North Caro-

nomination of Bryan.
The crowd grew very impatient
as the speaker continued his address
despite his declaration that he did
not intend to make a speech. Ills
peroration and the name of Mr.
Bryan was entirely lost In the choru;-,
of cries that was hurled at him.
Fred J. Kern, of Illinois, made a
motion after Governor Glenn had
concluded that all seconding speech
es be limited to ve minutes. The
motion was carried with a wild yell
of atiproval.
The next speaker who rose to sec

In all other respects tbe

Mr. Clayton's speech in part was
as follows:
"This Is a Democratic year. Demo
cratic Ideas are now popular. Doc
trines always taught by our pnrty
and scoffed at by our opponents are
now urged as a gospel of their own.
Measures and policies of Democratic
origin are now pretendedly advocated
by the leaders of the Republican
pnrty. It ls no longer anarchistic to

The saved:

EDWARD E PECKER, Boston.
Pecker, who was clinging to an
oar, and Tarbell. who was supported
by a life preserver, were able to
swim, and they remained together
until picked up by a lobster fisher
man out In the early morning to
haul his pots. His boat was seen by
the two struggling men in the water
long before the fisherman himself
could make them out. Finally he
spied the nearly exhausted swimmers
and rescued them.
Neither of the survivors was able
to give the cause of the explosion.
Mr. Tarbell, who owned the Dolphin,
as the launch was called, said that
the boat Btarted out Irom Marion
on a short pleasure crulBe, and was
well out In the middle of Buzzards
Bay when the explosion occurred.
Savory, the engineer, was suddenly
blown Into the air and was probably
dead when he struck the water.
The bout caught fire Immediately,
and Tarbell called lo his comrndep
to leap overboard. He Bt capped a life
preserver about himself before ha
leaped, nnd Mr. Pecker, who ls con
nected with the Boston banking firm
of Rollins & Son. seized an oar and
followed. So far as they knew, none
of the others in the party jumped.
Either they could not swim and pre
ferred lo cling lo the disabled launch
until nelp came, or else they weru
Planned by tbe explosion.
Both Tarbell and Pecki r remain' d
near the launch for several moments,
urging their comrades to jump into
the watar with a cushion, oar, life
preserver or something, for the
launch was burning rapidly. Ono
man, believed to be Roland Worth
ington, was seen clinging to the side
of the boat, but he could not swim,
apparently, and Ihe men In the water
could not reach him. Gradually tho
launch drifted further out to sea,
and Mr. Pecker and Mr. Tarbell were
forced to give up hope of aiding their
comrades.
They turned landward and swam
slowly so as to husband their
strength as much as possUile. It was
12 hours before their rescue came.
As soon as news of the disaster
reached here nearly every summer
resident and fisherman who owned
a yacht or lnunch at once went out
in the bay to search for some trace
of the boat or Its occupants, but the
search proved fruitless. The launch
undoubtedly sank with all on board.

KEYNOTES OF CHAIRMAN
BELL'S ADDRESS.
Among the great evils thut af
fect Ihe country is the abuse of
corporate power.
Whenever the wrongs of today
become the vested right of lo
morrrow the nation is in deadly
part), '
Tha Democratic party Is not
an enemy of nil corporations. It
recognizes their great value in
the Industrial world.
The most palpable lustance of
the Inulnccrlty of the Chicago
platform is found in Its declara
tion respecting the Usuance of In
junctions. There Is a vast difference be
tween the protection of American
Industries and Ihe protection ot
criminal Monopolies
The corrupt use of money In
politic, , l campaigns is lurgely re
sponsible for the subversion of
the people's will at the polls.
The Democratic party believes
thut the first thing to do is to
secure a phyjical valuation of the
railroads.
Secretary Loeb says he never heard
President Roosevelt say he thought
war with Jupan was Imminent, as
Richmond Hobson la reported lo have
said.
