The Democracy of this nation voiced the demands of the producing masses in its platform adopted at Chi- cago and placed a man at the head of the ticket who represents the vast in- terests of the plain people throughout these United States. The National Democratic convention held last week marks a new epoch in our great a spontaneous unpremeditated out- burst. The most striking passage in his speech, to my mind, was in the following words: ‘Ah, my friends, we say not one word against those who live upon the Atlantic coast; but those hardy pioneers who brave all the dangers of the wilderness, who have made the deserts to blosom as the rose—those pioneers away out there, rearing their children near to nature’s heart, where they can mingle their voices with the voices of the birds— out there where they have erected schoolhouses for the education of their young and churches where they praise their Creator, and cemeteries where sleep the ashcs of their dead—are as deserving of the consideration of this party as any people in this country. It is for these that we speak. We do not come as aggressors. Our war is not a war of conquest. We are fight- enthusiasm over Mr. Towne’s non- 7; political orationjwas great. After the 9 exercises, he was surrounded by hun- 8 dreds, mostly Republicans, anxious to shake his hand. If Mr. Towne does “meet with just this kind of a recep- tion all over the district this fall,” he will beat the Republican candidate two to one.—St. Cloud Times.

J. Bryan leaped upon the platform of the Coliseum, Thursday afternoon, and, with an audience of over 15,000 people, delivered an oration which will live in history. He had come to the convention, not as a delegate, but as contestant for a seat in that body, and only the previous day had he been admitted as a member. The gold men concede that the admission of the contesting silver delegation from Nebraska was just and conse- quently Bryan did not occupy a tainted seat. heard in the councils of the conven- tion. He was nota member of the committee on resolutions, but it was delegated to him to close the debate on behalf of the majority or silver re- port, and he did it so grandly that without a campaign headquarters, without claquers and strikers, without brass bands and marching clubs, it He had not before been | a victory, and those who were bitter- ly opposed to 16 to 1, joined heartily as the believers in the plaudits for the speaker. Corwin, Webster, Clay, Calhoun and none of the great orat- ors of the past ever had such an op- portunity or such an audience as this, while Conkling, Garfield and other orators who have had opportunities to feel the inspiration of vast assemblages, were fairly eclipsed by the “boy orator of the Platte.” No stronger evidence of the force of this great speech can be found than the fact that as he stepped from the platform with the words, “You shall not crucify mankind upon atross of gold”’reverber- berating through the building, it was a foregone conclusion that he was to be the nominee. Others had labored, with the various methods known in political contest, for weeks and months to secure the prize, but Bryan had spoken and it was voluntarily placed in his hands.” The Postatice Store, A complote and entirely new stock of SADT EEES SARS Ry PAS Be NSH RE ES ES Groceries, Canned Goods, Fruits and Vegetables, Books, Stationery and Sundries.
