Mighty are his preparations. He goeth forth full of hope. He caroleth gaily. “When the day is spent he re- turneth. He giveth forth the odor of wine, yea the strong wine of Mazaroth, and the truth is not in him.” Every silver lining has a cloud. As soon as a man acquires fairly good sense, it is said that he is an old fogy. “Some men,” said Uncle Eben, “is like an alarm clock. You knows the reminders is foh yoh good, but voh does hate to listen to ’em. Economy may be the road to wealth, but a large number of people will refuse to travel it until the good roads movement ha: made it smoother. It is a great deal wiser to start out as a banker, to get money enough to be a poet, than it isto start outas a poet, to get money enough to be a banker. SULLIVAN TALKS FOR BRYAN Towa Man Seconds His Nomination for President at the Denver Convention. - J. B. Sullivan of Iowa, in second- ing the nomination of Bryan for presi- dent, said in part: “The hour has arrived when Demo- cracy will speak with reference to the policies it believes best for the Amer- can people. Democracy means so much that its followers have hope of ultimate success. The principles of Democracy are eternal and everlasting. The application of such to everyday life requires the truest patriotism and the most fervent devotion. “There never was a time in the life of the Democratic party when it wwas as much of a necessity as at this hour. The commanders are about to be chosen. Upon one side stands he who represents the classes and has. elim- inated from the catalogue of progres- sion the term, ‘square deal’ One who stands for might against equality and promotes the creature at the expense of the creator; who is the representa- tive of organized wealth to the detri- ment of national avelfare; who stands for a.centralized government against the rights of the state; who struck at labor to destroy, not to protect. Against such a commander as this the Democratic party offers as its candi- date, a man. “A man of christian devotion, whose banner is equal rights, and whose motto is love of country; a man of un- bounded weulth of love, and with a moral courage that is the admiration and pride of his countrymen; a max who stands for a single standard ot morality, in public and private life; a4 man who when the hour was dark- est, when Democracy was trailing in the dust, caught her up with the lov- ing embrace of a father until today throughout the world his name and Democracy are synonymous. “Name him and the manufacturer of the east and the farmer of the west will stand shoulder to shoulder for the enlarging of the commerce and trade of our country. “Name him, and there will pass as with the rapidity of lightning’s flash throughout the length and breadth of this nation, a current of reanimated and rejuvenated patriotism. “Name him, and labor will hold high its head with courage and with hope. Capital will be inspired with faith and with confidence and the peo- ple will rejoice that Democratic gov- ernment and constitutional rights are to be restored. “Name the man who amid thundering of opposition, and the clouds of prejudice, stood as an ad- amantine rock for the integrity of this nation and hurled into the face of the detractors of his country the right of the people to rule. “Name him that the world may know a Republican form of govern- ment still lives.” the Wins the Lipton Cup. New York, July ).—Frederick W. Thompson’s eighty-four-foot schooner yacht, the Shamrock, won the $1,000 Lipton cup offered for the 325-mile race from New York to Cape May and return, and Captain Charles Barr, her skipper, has added another victory to his string according to a decision of the Brooklyn Yacht club. The Sham- rock beat her nearest competitor, the Mimosa III, by more than two hours elapsed time and several of the small- er boats nearly twenty hours. Carved by a Maniac. Bluefield, W. Va., July 10.—Suddenly oing insane on a train at Bondtown, 'a., Dan Cloves of Bigstone Gap, Va., veached over to the seat in front of him and cut James Sturgill’s throat from ear to ear. Then he turned the razor on himself and made two se- vere wounds in his own throat. Ten Russian Workmen Killed.

SON OF THE NORTH STAR STATE Keview of Governor Johnson's Life from a Little Child to the Pres- ent—Placed in Nomination for President. Governor John A. Johnson of Minne- sota was placed in nomination for president of the United States by the Hon. W. 8. Hammond, who spoke as follows: “From each of the great galaxy of commonwealths constituting the Union, come the delegates of an earn- est and impatient people. Earnest in their determination that public wrongs shall be speedily righted, that corrupt practices shall cease and that clvie righteousness shall prevail. Impatiem at the pollcy of delay and postpone- ment pursued by the political party now in control of all departments of the federal government and impatient at the frivolous excuses and apologies of the Republican party for its Inaction and its neglect to perfect necessary legislation, “The power to defeat progressive and reformatory measures favored by the great majority of the men of the land has been lodged in the hands of a coterie of reactionary politicians who exercise it to further partisan ends and to serve special interests, re- gardless alike of the needs of the na- tion and the demands of the people. Against this deliberate delay in the performance of public duty, against political corruption, against the en- trenchments of lawless wealth and against the deliverance of the rights of the people and of thelr chosen repre- sentatives into the possession of a tri- umvirate out of sympathy with the people, the Democratic party sets its face and prepares for a mighty con- flict. Again proclaiming for all, equality, for none, special favor, it enters upon the contest with the con- sclousness of being right and with the assurance of being victorious. “Here In this beautiful city of the mountains have assembled the dele- gates who are to select the leader in this campaign of the people to recover thelr rights and privileges. Whatever dissensions there may be in our ranks, whatever differences of opinion may prevail, to be worthy of the task be- fore us we must choose our leader with calmness and deliberation and ‘when he is chosen e must follow him with zeal and with strength, mindful only of the great purposes we seek to accomplish. If there is one in our party great enough and good enough to be made our candidate, upon whom all within our ranks can agree and around whom mno Internal strife has raged, one who can better than any other unite all the factions and all the divisions of the Democratic party upon a platform enunciating the demands of the people and dedicated to them, it is ‘wise and it is our duty to name him as our candidate. “The great North Star State, mid- way between the two oceans and at the head of the great valley of the Mississippi, comes here with a message to deliver and a record to disclose. She has a son whom she loves and has signally honored and she can not better aid in the great work that lies before us than in offering to us as a leader that honored citizen of the state. “Thousands- upon thousands of the men and women of this country were born in other lands and under Gther flags. The opportunities to be found in this land, the broad principles upon which our form of government rests, the freedom of action and the security of life and property here attracted them so irresistibly that they left the homes of their fathers and came to live with us, to pray for the nation’s welfare when there is peace and to fight for the nation’s honor when there is war. They became Americans. It is of the son of such lmmigrants that I speak. “They came with all the hope and with all the fear that is experienced by those who try the unknown. There was a new language to be acquired, new customs to be learned, a new life to be begun. They found a beautiful spot In the plain near the lakes and the forest, and there they built their little cot and underwent the struggles the pioneer immigrant so well under- stands. At the knee of his hard-work ing, noble-minded, God-serving mother, awhere he was taught to lisp his evening prayer, her son first learnea something of the character of this great nation, as she whispered to him her reasons for leaving far-away Sweden and taking up her home down by the trees and the river and the lakes. . “Deprived at an early age -of the father’s guiding hand, the mother and her little ones were obliged to make their way alone. Out of the depth. of poverty have come some of the noblest souls the world has known. The hardships, the numerous trials, the weary struggle for the day’s hourishment, raiment and shelter, leave an impress upon the character of him in whose life they come that can never be removed. The story of the poor and the interests of the com- not to one who has not experienced the sorrows, the burden and the anxl- ety of penury and want. The gross, the selfish, the callons and the indif- ferent are worn away by -the grinding wheels of poverty, leaving but the re- fined, the gentle and tender nature, sensitive to the calls of distressed and unhappy humanity. Creatures of en- vironment that we are, how great is the Influence of our surroundings in those tender years when impressions are most readily made and most last- ingly retained. In this uprising of the people let our leader be a man of the people, one who has risen from the depths and is by birth, by train- fng and by nature truly a son of toil, “When the boy grew older he read a few good books and in -a quiet down through the partly finished floors. Ten workmen were killed out- tight and forty others were injured. - country village pondered over the great questions affecting the destiny of the state and of the mation. Once mon people appeal to him as they can- convinced That the government was be- set by speclal interests seeking to ob- tain unholy profits from it, slaves of greed and selfishness, lovers of power and dominion, every patriotic impulse in the young man’s breast impelled him to oppose and denounce these enemies of the public good. Believing that they sought shelter and protec- tion at the hands of the Republican party and had to a large extent, through their agents and represent- atives, gained control of that party and of some of its recognized leaders, he attached himself to the minority party and labored in its ranks, with- out thought of office -or preferment, and with voice and pen endeayored to bring home political truths to the peo- ple of his native state and to throw light upon the dark practices of un- faithful office holders and public servants, “Four years ago the dominant polit- lcal party in the State of Minnesota, flushed with a series of easy vie- tories but not held together by devo- tion to any great living issue, found itself engaged in bitter factional quar- rels. Great chieftains had arisen and their personal ambitions and their con- tests for political supremacy so engaged the attention of the adherents of the Republican party that encroachments upon the rights of the state were suffered to remain unchecked and the interests of the state were not vig- ilantly guarded. It was the time for a leader to appear, one who had the confidence of the people of the state, whose Integrity wwas unquestionea, ‘whose character was stainless, whose energy and ability were known; one who had made no factional enemies but who had always been loyal in the service of the state. From no one section, from no one faction, from no one class came the call for the man of the hour. It summoned from his mod- est office the publisher of a weekly paper and around him rallied the rem- nants of the Democratic party that had so often struggled in vain against the crushing force of Republican ma- jorities. Reunited, inspired with the hope of victory, they followed this man and supported him. Not to honor him, not to gratify his ambitions, but to rouse a state from drowsy inaction to energetic life. In that year Presi- dent Roosevelt carried the state by a plurality greater than 160,000 but the Democratic governor was elected. “Two years ago he was a candidate for re-election. His successful efforts in securing a reduction of transpor- tation charges, his successful cam- paign against timber trespassers who had long been undisturbed, his insur- ance reforms, his tireless struggles for faithful and efficlent service in every department of the state government, and his frank and fearless manner of dealing with all questions and mat- ters that came before him made him the trusted tribune of the common peo- ple of the state. ‘One good term de-| serves another’ was the campaign cry and when the ballots were counted it was found he had been re-elected by a plurality gredter than 70,000, the greatest ever given to a gubernatorial candidate in the state. “Today this man, in the prime of life, courteous, kind and unpreten- tious, strong, resolute and virile, an orator of unusual power, who has at- tained honorable distinetion by his own industry and effort, whose high character and winning personalily compel the love of his friends and the respect of his political opponents— this man, innocent of the allurements of great wealth, who has not been swerved from the path of duty nor fascinated by the power given into his hands nor dazzled by greater hon- ors placed before him, never unmind- ful that as a public officer he is the servant of the people and bound by every obligation of duty and honor to strive to advance their interests, is the ideal candidate of this great parey for president of the United States. “For the first time Minnesota offers to the Democratic party a candidate for the presidency, a man who has been tried and found not wanting. Tt offers you its best loved citizen. Tt offers you the governor who bas twice led the way to victory, a leader stain- less and pure, strong and brave, able and sincere, a true Democrat, faithful to the teachings of the fathers, under- standing the needs of the day, devoted to the good and the right. For nomi- nation for the presidency of the Uni- ted States, Minnesota presents the uame of John A. Johnson.” MARKET QUOTATIONS, Minneapolis Wheat.

OFFERS for President at the Demo= En cratic Convention. GRAYS NAME HIS QUALITIES ARE DESCRIBED Hon. Levin Irving Handy of Delaware Tells Why Judge George Gray W3 _ Bhould Receive the Nomination. . P i In placing the name of Gieorge Gray of New Jersey before the Democratic national convention for president Hon. Levin Irving Handy, of Delaware, said: “Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Convention:—I have a duty to per- form placed upon me by the Democ- racy of the state from which I come. In the performance of that duty my heart leaps with pleasure. Because of his ability, because of his patriot- ism, because of the maturity of his judgment, because of his devotion tc true Democratic principles, because of the width and depth of his experience In govermental affairs, and because of his devotion to justice and to the Con- stitution, the man who is best fitted to perform the dutles of president of the United States is George Gray. As a general rule the man best fitted for the place is most available for the nomination. “If you are to nominate a man be- cause he is eager to be president, you will not name Judge Gray. There are other candidates who want this nomi- nation more than he does. This man is as modest as he is great. Ambi- tion is the last weakness of great minds, and ambition is the greatest danger the people have to fear in rulers. George Gray is a public ser- vant without personal ambition. In this he is like our first and greatest president. If you are to nominate the man who you personally love the best, perhaps you may nominate some other candidate; for I am not unmind- ful- of the personal devotion which delegates here present cherish for other candidates. But the question we are now to decide is too important to our party and our country to be de- cided because of personal preferences. “The Republican party has been in power too long. The government has grown corrupt, extravagant and auto- cratic, and the prosperity of the peo- ple has taken unto itself wings and flown away. Tree institutions exist in order that at such a time as this the country may peaceably change its rulers and change its policies. “Entering on a political campaign in which victory or defeat means so much, we are now to select the politi- cal chieftain who shall carry our ban- ner and marshal our forces. If the country were in a great war in which a decisive battle was to be fought and the duty fell upon me to choose the general who should command our country’s army in the field, I would not dare to put in command the gen- cral whom I loved the best nor the one who was the most eager. Neither would you. The responsibility would be overwhelming to choose the soldier ‘whose genius for war, shown by his record and experience, gave the best prospect of winning victory. You would not hesitate to refuse promo- tion and opportunity to your own brother if there were available an- other soldier who gave gredter prom- ise of winning the fight. “In like spirit I ask you to put aside all personal preferences, and to choose calmly and prudently the Dem- crat who can most surely win a Democratic victory in November. Pos- sibly any one of the candidates sug- gested may be able to win at the polls. T hope so. But our plain duty is to nominate not a candidate who may win but the candidate who can most surely win. We contend for too great a prize to take any unnecessary chances of defeat, “Our candidate must be one who can command the support of our party and at the same time attract the sup- port of independent citizens who are not striet party men. We may as well face the fact that a majority vote in thig country is always made up of the party vote re-enforced by the votes of a large body of independent citizens. Hence a successful candidate for pres- ident must do more than hold the loy- alty of his partisans. He must in addition command the confidence and win the support of people who care nothing for party. Party opinion is a great thing and must be considered, but public opinion is a greater thing and must be obeyed. Nominate George Gray and public optnion wil say that we have proposed a man whose intellectual and moral stature towers to the standard set by the greatest and wisest presidents in our history. “George Gray’s life has been one long and unselfish service of the people in high places. Attorney-General of his state, a great senator of the United States for many years, a treaty-maker for the nation, the most successful arbitrator of disputes between labor and capital who ever lived, and now in his later years a great and learned judge, his merit has won the con- fidence and good will of the whole people. “In the Senate he was ever in the forefront of weighty debate, champion- Ing with eloquent logic the principles of Democracy. In making the treaty with Spain he nwas tlie one commis- sioner who stood true to the doctrine of human liberty and protested against taking the Phillippines and strapping imperialism upon the shoulders of the Republie.” In settling the anfhracife coal strike he demonstrated his sym- pathy with the toiling masses of his fellow- countrymen. His just find- Ing endeared ‘him forever to organized It justifies me in applying to him the ancient description of an -up- right judge. ‘He put on righteous- ness and it clothed him; bis judgment ‘was a robe and a diadem; and he brake the jaws of the 'wicked and plucked the spofl out of his teeth. Such has been the quality of his life- long service, and he stands in its white light apmj‘oved of the people. “George ¢ ~18 ‘a moderate, not a Justice” aid “prudence “ivill walk hand In hand, and peace will be restored be- tween man and man throughout our borders. He is sound, not sensational, and with him as president we shall have rest from turmoil so that pros- perity may come again. ‘The country needs a rest. Honest enterprise and houest toll need a chance to attend to their ‘own. business; and George Gray is no meddler and can be happy when he is not engaged in a fight. If we want industrial prosperity we mpst establish and maintain industrial peace. “This man has the temperament, the love of justice, and the firmness of principle to correct abuses without dis- ordering and wrecking the affairs of the people. He will brake the jaws of the wicked and pluck the spoil out o their teeth; but he will know how to destroy the beasts of prey without be- laboring all of the domestic animals. He will stop predatory wealth from depredations without terrorizing honest and industrious wealth. He is pro- gressive, not revolutionary, constitu- | tional, not autocratie, practical, not visionary. “George Gray is not only the man best fitted to be president, but he is also a Democrat we can most surely elect president. Fec will be an accept- able candidate in every pari of our broad country. Surely he il be pe- culiarly satisfactory to the people of the southern states where we must look for that ever-faithful body of clectoral votes which constitutes the back Lone of ‘our strength. His great and successful fight in the senatc against the Force Bill opened the safe pathway down which those states have walked to shelter from the black storm which threatened their ecivilization. Tow rejoiced would sonthern men be to see once more in the White House a presidert who understands and ap- preciates the sonthern man's point of view! “As to the group of states on the Atlantic seaboard—Connes New York, New Jer land and West Virgin doubt that Georze Gray i away the strongest eandidate that can be named. fter all, those are the states in which our great politica battle must be fonght and won or lost.
