public gathering than were dissemi
nated by the representatives of the
Associated press, and republican cor
respondents for republican newspa
pers, as well as hy special republican
correspondents for the reorganizes
in the 'democratic party.
The first contest came up before the
national committee on Tuesday, July
4. This contest involved a number
in the contest for seats in tho conven
tion, conspicuous among which was
that of Illinois. The Hopkins forces
in that state, representing the reor
ganizes, asked that the contest bo
decided by a committee of the whole.
Mr. Bryan appearing in the committee
as a proxy for Mr. Dahlman, a mem
ber from Nebraska, urged that the
sub-committeo be appointed by the
chairman in order to hear the con
tests. The result was that Mr. Bryan's
suggestion prevailed and Chairman
Jones, after a recess, announcod tho
sub-committees which were to listen
to the evidence in the various con
tests. The most important contest
was that of Illinois, and the sub-committee
named by Chairman Jones was
as follows: William J. Stone of Mis
souri, chairman; Adair Wilson, Colo
rado; T. B. O'Brien, Minnesota; Nor
man E. Mack, New York; John T.
McGraw, West Virginia. Various sub
committees met and while as a rule
they rejected the claims of contest
ants, they ruled that in the case of
Illinois, they had no authority to go
behind the returns of the state con
vention, although the committee ad
mitted that "questionable methods"
had been adopted in theHIlnols state
convention. The committee finally de
cided that all the Hopkins (reorgan
izer) delegates should retain their
seats with the exception of D. C. Best
of the 21st Illinojs district. In this
district Best was ousted and the seat
was given to Alfred Orendorff.
The convention was called tq order
at 12 o'clock, noon, Wednesday, by
former Senator Jones, chairman of
the democratic national committee.
The prayer was delivered by Rev. J.
Jb. Cannon, and then Mr. Jones an
nounced that he was instructed by tho
national committee to appoint John

Charles A. Walsh of Iowa, temporary
secretary, aud John I. Martin of St.
Louis, sargeant-at-arms. Mr. Will
iams was then escorted to tho chair
and delivered a speech, extracts from
which are as follows:
Tho country Is now and is destined
to be for a length of time beyond com
putation on a gold basis, ... an ac
complished fact not by tho republican
party, but by tho dogged persistency
and indomitable will of Grover Cleve
land. We will announce unmistakably to
tho world that wo will not make of
tho army and navy of the United
States a constabulary for the collec
tion of debts from the governments or
peoples of South and Central Ameri
ca. The democracy will nominate a man
who will not usurp legislative or ju
dicial functions; one who will n6t
recklessly violate international usage.
A democratic administration will
put an end, as far as it can bo done, to
all existing iniquitous partnership ar
rangements between the federal gov
ernment and favored special interests.
It will not falter when It comes to
declare for a reduction of tariff taxa
tion on trust produced articles to tho
point where foreign competition may
enter the American market, when
combines, seeking monopoly, raise tho
price to the American consumer to the
point of extortion.
It will reduce tho revenues of tho
government to a sum adequate to the
needs of economical and constitutional
administration.
The rights of labor will be recog
nized as no less vested or sacred than
the rights of capital.
A good democratic administration
will ponder arid practice tho simple
precepts of Jefferson's first inaugural
address. It is the political "sermon on
the mount" for democratic republi
cans. .
It is in tho power of no. man or par
ty to assure success. It Is in the pow
er of the humblest to deserve it. God
grant that wo may have it. Let us
by the character of our platform and
the character of our candidate deserve
it.
Tho democracy will construct the
Panama canal speedily, honestly and
economically. However shamefully
the Panama republic was born, and
however" shameful our connection with
it, it was born and is now recognized
by us.
A democratic administration will
find in our treatment of Cuba an ex
ample of American courage, justice
and magnanimity, an example to be
followed in the Phlllpplnesultimate
ly leaving them free and independent.
The democracy will bring about the
upbuilding of a merchant marine
Without additional taxation.
