Main's DamocracyBoss Gonveutiou Hall, KanBas City, S\/July 6--Al though the time be tween the adjournment of the morning session and that set for the opening of the afternoon was over two hoars, at no one time wer? the galleries of the great hall more , than one-third, emptied. Thous ands of people sat out the adjourn ment, being determined to miss no part'of the excitement. By 3:30 nearly all of the dele gates were ready for business, and waiting the arrival of Chairman Richardson, who was a trifle slow in making his appearance. The delegates seemed anxious to get to work and complete the business of the convention, and when at 3:38 p. m., tbe chairman made his ap pearance, there was a ripple of ap plause. Many of the delegates had come prepared for the nomination of Mr Bryan. Dozens of them carried small flags and numerous plumes of bright colored pampas .grass were visible on various parts of the floor. The crowd by 3:40 was the greatest that had attended any session of the convention. /v..The. gate-keepers were for once rather lax in denying admission to people and there were hundreds who had no tickets of admission who were allowed to enter the .building. They swarmed in upon the floor until it seemed impossi ble that there could be room for one more. At 2:46 Senator Hill, ol New York, who had been absent from the two preceding sessions, came through the delegates' door by himself. He was not recognized at first and had nearly reached his seat when the cry of "Hill ! Hill ! " broke forth. It was coupled with considerable applause, but the demonstration in honor of the senator when present lacked sev eral degrees the warmth shown pester day afternoon and this morning while he was absent. BEAD EKG THE PLATFORM. It was not until 4 o'clock that Chairman Richardson turning from, a conf?rence with Governor McMillan and Senator White picked up th? gavel and brought the convention to order. The platform committee, headed by Senator Jones, D. J. Campan, Sen . ator Tillman and Judge Van Wyok, had just pushed their way through the dense throng and pro ceeding to the platform had taken seats flanking the platform. Mr Richardson appealed long and vainly for order. The portly ' form of Senator Jon9s, silver-hair . ; ed and serious, advanced to the front of the stage. He held a roll of manuscript in his hands. But it was useless to talk against such a tumult and he dropped hack in his seat until order was being re stored. At last the noise subsided and Mr Jones, in a clear voice, an nounced : "I am authorized by the commit tee on resolutions to present the platform agreed upon, and I will yield' to the Senator from South Carolina, Mr Tillman, to read the document." Mr Tillman now stepped to the front and was greeted with a cheer. He read the platform in a full round voice, easily heard through out the hall. As he proceeded each plank was greeted with applause. The sena tor accompanied his reading with * emphatic gestures, striding up and down the platform, turning this way and that, and after his man ner in the Senate. There was a howl of approval as he clenched his fist and fiercely arraigned the course of the administration in Cuba. But it remained for his reading the declaration "imperial ism is the paramount issue of this campaign" to evoke a storm of ap plause. Tho delegates sprang to " their feet, standing on their cb ai rf, caving hate, handkerchiefs, um brellas and flags, while the gal leries took up the chorus and car ried it along for many' minutes. I Senator Hill could be seen mar shalling the hosts to cheer. He held a fan high above his head ? , and added his voice to the shout ing. A second time Senator Till man read this declaration and now even a greater demonstration than before carried the convention ; i . off its feet. DEMONSTRATION OF FLAGS. R*? Suddenly hundreds, then thou ands of miniature American flags were passed among the delegates . and the whole floor of the vast , structure became a pea of flags. 'mk jg *j? vii .'.-;? \.v -L- *X? <?i ?*. An instant later the flags swept 07er the galleries like a mass of flame. Bundles of them were, toss ed upon the seats and distributed. The scene was magnificently in SDiring and the great audience was ?worked up to a fever heat. On [ each flag was the device :' %tThe constitution and the flag are in separable, now and forever. The flag of the republic forever, of an empire, never." While the demonstration was at its height, the band sent another thrill throu7h the audience by playing "Dixie," aud a medly of patriotic airs. * State standards were again torn from their sbckees, banners were raised and a trium phal procession of the delegates marched about the hall. Now the strains of the band turned to uMy Country, 'Tis of Thee," at which the ontire audience, as with a sin gle voice, joined in a mighty and swelling chorus. Amid the billow ing of flags could b6 seen a tall .standard bearing the inscription : "Forcible annexation would be criminal aggression-William Mc Kinley." It was at this juncture that the climax was sprung upon the great assembly. A huge flag had been flung across the roof between two trusses and as the signal was given the cords were cut and slow ly it unrolled its white and crim son folds as it fell gracefully and swung over the platform slightly to the rear and south of the speak er's desk. The banner was an enormous affair, being fully fifty feet long and about one-half as W. J. BRYAN. wide. Upon the white stripes were the printed sentences in large let ters of blue : "Constitutional governments de rive their just powers from the consent of the governed." "The constitution and the flag, one and inseparable now and for ever." "The flag of a republic forever, of an empire never." "A republic can have no col onies." To the vast majority of those in the hall the flag was in unexpect ed incident, and its appearance was the signal for a frantic roar, which caused everything that had gone before it to sink into insig nificance. For fully two minutes the cords of the flag caught and would not permit it to fall to its full length. It was caught up juBt enought lo prevent the convention from reading the inscriptions upon the banner and until they were re leased and the banner swung free, the enthusiasm increased every second. When finally every word waB visible there was a climax of cheers that was deafening. HELL BROKE LOOSE IN MISSOURI. Senator Tillman stood surveying the storm and awaiting an op portunity to proceed. The chair man pounded his gavel and appeal ed for order. But the marun of the delegates, bearing their stand ards and banners ran on unin terruptedly for twenty-two minutes As Senator Tillman was about to resume he remarked that, the WOMEN IK TROUBLE. The Approach of Motherhood is tb? Occasion of Much. Anxiety to All. Every woman dreads the ordeal through which she must pass in becom ing a mother. The pain and suffering which is in store for her is a source ol constant anxiety, fear and dread, to say nothing of the danger which the coming incident entails. The joyous anticipations with which she looks for ward to baby's coming gives way to an indescribable dread of the ordeal when she fully realizes the critical and trying event which will soon approach and have to be endured. Women should hail with delight a remedy which insures to them im munity from the pain, suffering and danger incidental to child-bearing. Such a remedy is now offered, and women need not fear longer the hour of childbirth. "Mother's Friend"-i? a scientific liniment-and if used before confinement, gently and surely prepare? the body for the great requirements and changes it is undergoing, insures safety to Doth mother and child, and takes her through the event with com arative ease and comfort. This won erfol remedy is praised by every woman who has used it. What woman is not interested in "Mother's Friend?" This wonderful remedy has been tested and its price less value proven by the experience of thousands of happy mothers who have used it during the most critical period of woman's life-the approach and culmination of motherhood. It has won their everlasting praise, for it gave them help and nope in their most trying hour and when most needed. Every woman may some day need "Mothers Friend." The little book/ .'.Before Baby is Born." telling all about it, and when it should be used, will prove of great interest and benefit V alf expectant mothers, and will be sent free to any address upon application to the Bradfield Regulator Company, Atlanta, Gs. thread of .hisdiscourse had bei broken and that down south tb werein the habit of saying. 'Hi has^jteken looso in Georgia," ")urtl," added the s?nat vociferously, "if Mark Hanna h been here, a few minutes ago would have thought hell had brok loose in Missouri." There were cries of "Good when the trust plank was res The senator reached the re-affirm tion of the Chicago platform wi the declaration for free sily coinage at a ratio of 16 to pandermonium again broke looe But tile demonstration was fai in comparison to what juBt occurr when imperialism was announce as the "paramount issue." Mai of the delegates stood on the chairs and waved flags and cheere but a very considerable number more than half-held their seat Senator Hill was among those wi maintained quiet, while Mr Crok waved a flag until it broke, ac George Fred Williams led tl Massachusetts contingent in salvx of cheers. One of the New Yoi delegates rapped a standard bea ing the inscription, "Don't thin there are no 16 to l'ers in Ne York." The demostration lasted fon and one-half minutes. There was intense scorn in tl I seanator's voice as he read tb platform arraignment of tl Hay-Pauncefote treaty, evokin mingled laughter and applausi The Boer plank brought anoth< cheer and the Senator received1 round of applause aB he closed. When the applause had subside* Cbairmau Jones, of the platfroi committee, said he had bee instructed to move that the pla form be adopted by the convet; by acclamation. ADOPTED BY ACCLAMATION. The motion was put and amid roar of cheers the platform wa adopted without a word of dissen The announcement of Chairma Richardson of the adoption of tb platform was followed by a stun niug shout which made the build ing ring from one end to the othei Then followed a stirring an? dramatic scene. The plank in th platfrom denouncing England' policy toward the Boers had calle out immense applause, but whei it was announced by Chairma: Richardson that the conventioi would be addressed by Hon. Web ster Davis, former assistan secretary of the interior, the crowi manifested its enthusiasm b cheering for two minutes. Then the former Rep?blica! leader ascended the platform an< stood facing the thousands o spectators. . The speech of Mr Davis wai arranged in order to enable him ti announce his allegiance to thi Democratic party and the platforn and to the ticket of the convention In dramatic style and with al the force and magnetism of a fini orator, Mr Davis began his address He denounced as "A malicious lie," the statement that he hac been forced to leave his office ic the present national administra tion. He pictured in brilliant and flaming sentences thc "cruelties ard aggressions practio ed by Great Britain upon the Boen of South Africa." He expressed his intense satisfaction that the Democratic party had incorporated in the platform a plank so cordial ly and enthusiastically endorsing the cause of the Boers, which wae the cause of liberty and justice, As he felt, he said, that this great republic should not chain itself to the chariot wheels of the empire that was crushing liberty to death in South Africa, he believed it to be his duty to ally himself with the Democratic party. NEW YORK LEADS IN DEMONSTRATION. New York vied with Nebraska and Kansas in venting its en thusiasm. Richard Croker was on a chair, both arms aloft, a flag in his right hand, which he waived vigorously. Hill was not behind him in the show of loyalty to the nominee and waving his arms, he let forth a series of oheers that equalled those uttered by any man on the floor. Over in Illinois Ohio and Indiana, where 16 to 1 is not popular, there was no hesitation now. Round the hall started the Nebrasks men with their huge banner, and catching up their state emblems the other delegations took up the march, waving flags and hats and cheering at the tops of their voices without cessation save for the breath necessary to a fresh outburst. The two women delegates from Utah joined in the parade, one of them carrying a silk banner of white upon which was inscribed: "Greeting to William Jennings Bryan from the Democratic Wo men of Utah." As the women passed along the aisle in front of the New York delegation one of the enthusiastic Tammany braves turned IOOHO a war whoop that rivalled any previously uttered on thia conti nent and pounded one of the women over the head with his small flag as a token of apprecia tion. Far from resenting the woman smiled and pirouetted ? through the aisle formed ..of shoutiog men. Senator . Clark, of , Moniana accompanied by a lady, both swinging flags with intense energy called forth terrific applause as they, pase sd around the hall Next came Texas with its long pole surmounted by steers horns and further back some of the New York delegation carrying the little flag bearing the words : "Don't think there are no 16 to 1'ers in New York." Round and round the hall went the marching column between two walls of cheering men, who stood beneath a cloud of fluttering flag It was a demonstration fully equal in fervor to anything that had preceded it yesterday or today when the platform waa read When the enthusiasm had run for nineteen and a half minutes Chair man Richardson commenced to pound vigorously for order. He was lost beyond all power of hear ing for several minut?s and it was not until 27 minutes had elapsed from the instant that Mr. Oldham had mentioned the word "Bryan that the cheering had subsided and the convention was in order once more. LOUD CBIES FOR HILL. Once more the excited and perspiring crowd got into a state of quietude, succumbing beoause of fatigue rather than obeying the gavel. The partly demolished state standards were put back into their place and panting and exhausted, they prepared for the seconding of the nomination. In the midst of that peculiar conven tion hum that seems to come from nowhere, Arkansas yielded to Texas and Mr Perkins began a speech seconding Mr Bryan. He lauded the platform and said some other pertinent things but the audience's appetite had been whetted for the nomination and his voice was hardly dis tinguishable above the strong hum of conversation and the rustling of moving bodies. His ti ni s h was applauded and then the voice of the clerk calling the roll was drowned out by vociferous cries for uHilll" Ex-Senator White, of California got the platform, however, and his stentorian tones soon demanded attention and by hiB decieded delivery he kept the convention somewhat in order. Colorado gave way to Illilnois and judge Thompson took the platform, while the audience again j cried for "Hill." He began in a tumult, but soon receved attention and seconded the nomination in j behalf of his state. Judge Thomp I son did not take the ten minutes j alloted him and when he finished I Connecticut yielded for David B Hill. Even as the state yielded the convention took up the cry which had been on its tongue for two days. FlagB waved and the delegates rose/ and cheered-the audience. Then men in New York wearing the Tammany badges were the only delegates who kept their seats. Ex-Senator Hill forced his way to the platform and waved his hand for silence. When the cheers and cries of "Hill!" had j concluded and the vast audience was seated, he began to speak slowly, but clearly, and the atten tion given him was remarkable. The vast hall was almost perfectly silent. His laudation of Bryan was received with applause and cheers. But when he said, "Bryan will receive the support of an united party," the crowd went wild and had to play "America" to still the tumult, "His integrity has never been questioned," asserted Mr Hill and the audience yelled, "That's so." His explanation on his position on the platform and his acquies cence with the will o? the majority called for heartier applause than had been evident before and the good offices of the band were again necessary to get attention for him. "This nomination will meet the approval of the east," he said, and enthused his audience. In closing he said : NEW YORK IN LINE SAYS HILL, "New York expects to join with you with her 36 electoral votes," and then as he stepped down from the platform the convention be came a bedlam again. "Hill for vice president," was one of the cries raised and delegates all over the hall were on their feet, except the five rows of Tammany men, Senator Edward Murphy, as Hill, passed to his seat, grasped his hand and shook it heartily. Then Mr Shea, of Brooklyn, did the same Over-Work Weakens Your Kidneys, Unfaealtfl? Kidneys Hake Impure Blood All the blood in your body passes through jour kidneys once every three minutes. The kidneys are your blood purifiers, they fil ter out the waste or Impurities in the blood. If they are sick or out of order, they fall to do their work. Pains, aches and rheu matism come from ex cess of uric acid in the blood, due to neglected kidney trouble. Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady heart beats, and makes one feel as though they had heart trouble, because the heart is over-working in pumping thick, kidney poisoned blood through veins and arteries. It used to be considered that only urinary troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all constitutional diseases have their begin ning in kidney trouble. If you are sick you can make no mistake by first doctoring your kidneys. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy is soon realized. It stands the highest for tts wonderful cures of the most distressing cases and is sold on its merits by all druggists in fifty cent and one-dollar siz es. You may have a sample bottle by mail Roo* ot Nn^Wt free, also pamphlet telling you how to find out if you have kidney or bladder trouble. Mention this paper when writing Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. ' and others in the row, but J Croker sat immobile and Hill pas ed him without salutation. Tl applause for Senator Hill contin ed for some minutes. When order was restored, tl secretary of the convention pr ceeded with the call of state Tennant Lomax, of Alabam briefly seconded the nominate of Mr Bryan. During his speec che vast audience grew restlet So much confusion existed that was extremely difficult to he the speaker's words. W. B. Moore, of North Carolin followed Mr Lomax with a bri eulogy of Mr Bryan. During h speech hundreds of people lef t ti hall, the lateness of the hoi and their inability to hear beii the motive. In the midst of the concusic at the conclusion of Mr Mooi address a Georgia delegate aroi and on behalf of the south reques ed "That the peerless leader ac orator of Virgina, John W. Danie be called upon to address tl convention." Senator Daniel was escorted 1 the platform and as he appeare at the front of the chairman's dei attired in a conventional blac broadcloth coat and trousers an his usual white tie facing the grea audience, he looked the statesma and orator that he is. SENATOR DANIEL'S MAGNIFICEN TRIBUTE. He was accorded ao enthusiast i reception. His speech was brilliant and eloquent eulogy c Mr Bryan? When he said: " second the nomination of one wh would rater be right than pre sident," a perfect storm of cheer swept over the audience, and whe he added: "He is right by hi noble and discerning nature an* he will soon be president," th thousands present rose from thei seats and amid the waving o hundreds of flags, cheered fo almost a minute. The congrat ulations received by Senatoi Daniel at the close of his speed amounted to a distinct ovation. Mr President and Gentlemen o the National Democratic Conven tion:-ri have few words to sa; and ehall detain you but a fev moments from the most pleasiuj duty, tin crowning event of thi wonderful convention. On behal of the unanimous delegatioi from Virginia and by command o the sovereign people of that state I second the nomination of om who would rather be right than bi president. (Great applause.) Ont who is now right by the instinctivi virtues of his own ennobling, dis corning nature and who will soot be president by the manly virtue of . the American people. ( Wil< applause and cheering.) Let me remind you, my country men, that the present condition ol our country is a vindication an* illustration of the fundamenta doctrine which we taught fou: years ago, which then was the voici of a divided Democracy, but wh iel is now the voice of their union (Renewed and furious applause and cheering.) The doctrine that the prices ol all property were regulated by th< volume of money, and we hav< witnessed by the naked eye th? prices of produce increasing ir this country as new coinage flowec into out own mint and as nev, paper was printed. So that, ir the fundamental theory upon which we stand, we witness the increass of industry in this land as its vindication. The Republican party of thie country met not long since in the sight and under the shadow of old Independedce Hall, but no voice fell from the lips of the Republi can party while they sat within its portal that would remind tnt country of where they were or thai they had any memory of the greai struggle that made us free. (Great applause and cheering.) It was but natural, tor they could not have repeated a sincle sentence from the constitution of the United States with respect to their present condct-no, they could not have read the declaration of independ ence without everybody suposing that a satirist had gotten within them to disturb or break up the meeting. (Laughter and applause.) This day, my countrymen, marks a new epoch, not only in the his tory of the Democratic party, but a new epoch in the history of America. It turns over a new page in the history of the world and proutams the Democracy as the greatest of all world powers for the proclamation and steady defense of the bedrock principles of American liberty And independ ence. (Applause.) I second the nomination of a man who is a faithful, noble, clear expositor of the American consititution-a man who is honest in all that he has done and in all that he will do. We nominte a man who has no sense of fear or the derision of others who may point at him the finger of scorn, but who knows that be is thrice armed who hath his quarrel just, and that his strength is as the Btrenght of ten because his heart is pure. (Applause.) On lhe third day of the conven tion Adlai E. Stevenson, of Indiana, was nomiuted for vice prenidentby annanimous vote. Mr. Stevenson was vice president when Cleveland was president. ?8ENP 50CENTS ?md rta our etltbrattd to BERTI 0U1TAU bj tiprM?, CCD., m b Je tt to ex an teat bo. lt ll A (?faull* to B?ru Aa ni eu ma/ .
