Ka-nsas City, Mo., July 5.—Wil-
li'im J. Bryan of Nebraska was to-
*T *
iyght vtnanimously placed in nomi-
nation aa the democratic candidate
for president of the United States on
a platform opposing miljtariam, im-
perialism and ¿rusts and specifically
declaring for the free coinage of sil-
ver at the ratio of 16 to 1. . The nomi-
nation came it the culmination of a
fr$nzie4 demonstration in, honor of
tho party leader; lasting twdnty-aeven
miqtites and giving, utterance to all
the Qpnt-up emotions of th'e vast mul-
i(ude. It fallowed also a fierce
Btruggle througlrout the last tliirty-
bíx ha'nrs . concerning the platform
declaration of silver and the 'relative
position which the silver question is
to maintain to the other great issues
of the day. • -
The vast auditorium was filled to
i utmost capacity when the moment
¿red for the nomination to be
Not only were the usual
es a Horded by tickets taxed to
utmost, but the doorkeepers
given liberal instructions under
h the aisles and areas and all
available spaces were packed 19 their
*'•* limit. When tho call of states

for the purpose of placing
tea in nomination, Alabama
•its place at the head of the
Nebraska, and Oldham of that
-^de bis way to tbe platform to
FMr.'Bryan in nomination. The
ftoy was strong-voiced and enter-
taitur.g-and yet to the waiting dele-
gatea->nd spectators* there was but
*Óñe*ÍK>int in his speech and that was
thfiitTrring- peroration which closed
. wittr the name of William J. Bryan.
This w*b tie .signal forthedemon-
•atfiUiowoffbe day and in a common
"purposa-the great concourse joineá^in
a tribute-of- enthusiastic devotion to
'he party leadpr. ' A huge oil portrait
of rfryan, measuring fifteen feet
acroesgwas brought down the main
aisle "^jsTore the delegates. At the
same time the standards of the state
delegations were torn from their
sockets*and waved on high, while
umbrellas'of rod and blue, silk ban-
ners'of tlje several states and rilany
handsome and unique transparencies
were borne abojit the huiljding amid
the deafening clamor of 20,000 yell-
ing, gesticulating men and women.
All of the intensity of former demon-
strations and much more was added
to this final tribute to the leader.
When the demonstration had spent
itself the speeches seconding the
nomination of Mr. Bryan were in or-
der. Senator White spoke for Cali-
fornia, giving the tribute of the Pa-
cific Coast to the Nebraska candidate.
Colorado yielded to Senator Hill of
New York. The audience had anx-
iously awaited the appoarance of the
distinguished New Yorker, and as h^.
took the platiorm be was given a
splendid reception, the entire audi-
ence rising and cheering wildly, with
the single exception of the little group
of Tammany leaders who sat silent
througbobt the cheers for their New
York associate. Mr. Hill was in fiue
voice, and his tribute to the Nebras-
kan touched a sympathetic chord in
the hearts of the audience. lie pic-
tured.Bryan as the champion of the
plain people and of the working peo-
ple, strong with the masses, with the
farmer and with the artisan.. When
Hill declared with dramatic emphasis
that the candidate would have the
suppost-of his party—a united party-
there was tremendous spplause at the
suggestion of democratic unity. Aside
from the brilliant eulogy of Bryan,
the speech of the New York leader
was chiefly significant and attractive
in its strong plea for unity. "It is a
time for unity, not for division," he
exclaimed, to tbe rapturous approval
of the great multitude facing him.
The eldquent Daniel of Virginia add-
ed his glowing tribute to the candi-
date, while former Oov. PaUñon of
Pennsylvania spoke for his s(jue and
for the east. GonMcMilli^^of 'l'eo
nessee voiced the fishes/of a state
which had "furnished throe presi-
dents " Hawaii, • through its native
delegate, John H. Wise, made its first
seconding speech-in a democratic na-
tional convention, and finally a sweet-
voiced and pleasant-faced woman
alternate from Utah seconded the
nomination of Mr. Bryan in behalf of
the State of Utah, Then came the
voting, state after state recording its
voice in behalf of the Nebraska candi-
date and giving him the unanimous
yoles of the states and^ territories.
The convention managers had al-
ready agreed that this was sufficient
work fur the day, and tbe vice presi-
dential nomination was allowed to go
over until tomorrow.
Next to the demonstration of the
party candidato, the greeting tbe an-
nouncement that imperialism waa to
be tbe paramount issue of thla cam-
paign was the moat spontaneous and
significant of the day.. Senator* Till-
man read the platform, and with
measured fofce brought out the fact
that imperialism waa now given tbe
first and supreme place among the
issues of the party. " That the dele-
gates were in oomplete sympathy with
this expression wa* shown by the long
and sustained applause, lasting over
twenty minutes and exceeding the
ovations usually acoorded-'ihe favor-
ites of the parly. Fóllowing this,
the announcement that <he 16 to 1
idea was retained iu tbe platform re-
ceived only faint and ill auatained
recognition, the applause being íimit-
purpose of naming Adlai E. Stephen*
aon.

proceedings were interrupted by uoisy
demonstrations.

* Tbe Nominating Speech.
Following ia the speech of Hon. W.
D. Oldham, Deputy Attorney General
of Nebraska, nominating William J.
Bryan for the Presidancy. .. .:
Mr. Chairman—More than a hun-
dred years ago the Continental Con
gress 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 act, announced
to a waiting world that a nation had
been born.
With hearts unchilled by tho aelf-
iah sentiments of cold commercial-
ism, you have responded patriotically
to each sentiment contained in
Democracy'a firat platform, aa itfwaa
read to you at opening of th
vention; and in view
departure which tb
haa made from $ffo principlea aet
forth in that historic document, it ia
meet.that we—true believers in the
Republic of old—should, when chos-
ing a field and forming our linea for
the bloodleaa battle of ballots now
impending, say in the language ol
one of tbe loved patriots of long ago:
"Read this declaration at the head
of the army, and every sword ahalt be
drawn from ita scabbard and a
aolemn vow taken to maintatn il or
to periah on the bed of honor/'
Much of history for this Republic
k*r made or marred by the
1 cbkconvention. You,

within its own ranks sufficient con-
struct!ve al^teamanahlp to create a
nation in l^rfch each citizon becon^s
a sovereign, have, true to the tradi*
tiona you bear, in your platform aet
out in aimple. language, with a
decided American accent, a plan for
the people'a redemption from eaoh
sacrilege and aohiam taught by the
Republican party. That plan oon-
talna nothing but the apprQwd pre-
cepts of the elders and doctors of
your faith. If, on tuch a platform,
you place a candidate whose devoted
and unblemished life shall stand aa a
pledge to the plain people that he,
in good faith, will carry out the
solmen covenauta made therein, then
tho hour of our ultimato triumph ia
at hand. K
There ia no greater honor reserved
for a citizen of these United States
than to become the standard bearer
of the Democratic party. It at onoe
enrolls his name on tbe acroll of the
"Immortala who are not born to die,"
and enolrclea him with a hal.o of the
glory of all the illustloua achieve-
ments^ which that unconquered and
unconquerable orgaui/. ition haa em-
blazoned on «very page of our nation's
history. Itentrua s to hia keeping
