Tbo following tpeoob wta mtdo on tbo iloor of tbo DaBBOoratio ^Gotten- tion bj tho Hon. W. J. Bryan at foar o'olook Saturday morotog, July 9, af ter an all night aeaalon. Mr. Bryan aooko aa followa: Gentleman of tbo OonTentlOo: Two nlgbta without aloop, and a cold, aaakoa It dtfBonlt forma to make my aolf board. I truafc tbat.it will ba easier in a moment, bat aa I desire to it peak to tbo delegates rather than to tbo visttois, I hope that they at least binding upon him. But, my friends, t a majority oame Instructed for Y candidate. That means that : fm* oan hear. Bight years ago a Democratic con Ten tion placed in my hands tbs stand ard of tbe party and gars me tbo com mission as Us candidate. Boar yams later that commission was renewed. * come tonight to this Democratic con tention to return tbo commission and to aay that you may dispute whether 1 fought a good fight, you may dispute whether I finished my course, bu cannot deny that I bare kept the As your candidate I did all . I could to bring success to tbo party. As a prirste citizen today I am more Inter ested in Democratic success than 1 arer was when I was a candidate. Tbe reasons that made tbe election of a Democrat desirable were stronger In 1900 than in 1896; and tbs reasons that make tho election of tho Demo cratic candidate deeirable are stronger in 1904 than they were in 1900, BLACK'S BPBBCH ON BOPOBVBLT. The gentleman who preoented Hew York's candidate at tbe Chicago cm rentlon dwelt upon tbe danger of miUtarisas, and did not overstate the dangers. Let me quote tbe moat re markable passage that ever occurred oi t|Mt was ever found in the speech ol womlnatioo of any candidate for prealdeni Ex-Got. Black of Hew York, In presenting the name of Theodore Boooerelt to tbo Republican convention, need these words: 'The fate of nations is still decided by their wars. You may talk of or derly tribunals and learned referees. You may sing in your schools tbe gen tle praises Of tbo quiet life. You may strike from your books the last note of every martial anthem, and yet out In* the smoke and thunder will always bo tho tramp of hones and the silent, rigid, upturned fiioes. Men may pro phecy and woman pray, but peace will coma bore to abfda forever in this earth only whan tbo dreams of child hood are tbo accepted charts to guide the destinies of men. Brents are num- borless and mighty, and no man oan tell which wire runs around the world. The nation basking today in tbe quiet of contentment and repose may still bo on a deadly circuit end tomorrow wrltbing in tbo toils of war. This la the Urns when great figures moat be kept In front. If tho prenure is great the material to resist It must bo gran- i Its and iron." 'MILITARISM A MMNACB. This la an eulogy of war. * th‘s is a declaration that the time hoped for, prayed for,-of perpetual peaoe will bo vet come, thus eulogising the doc trine of brute force and gtvlrg denial • to tbe hopw of the race. And this president, a candidate for reelect]on, la preoaoted as tho embodiment of that ideal, tbo granite and the iron, to rep naont tbe new Idea of militarism. , Do you aay yon want to defeat tbe military Idea? Friends of tbe south We had to surrendsr things that wo wanted In the forita. They bad to things they wanted in But by mutal conererion and mutual surrender we agreed upon a platform and wa stand un that platform. But* my friends, we need more than a platform. We have to nominate a tjpket, and that Is tbe work of this convention. Had yon come to this convention instructed for aay man to the extent of a majority, I not only would not have asked you to dlsr gard ?’our instructions. T would not if I oould have prevented It permitted you to disregard your instructions, believe In the right of tbs people to rule.

DID NOT ATTEMPT TO DICTATB. I have not come to ask anything of this oon vention. Nebraska asks noth ing but to be permitted to flghtrthe battles of Democracy. Soma of yon have called me a dictator. It la falsa You know it was falsa How have I tried to dictate? I have suggested that I thought certain things ought to be done. Have not you exercised the same privilege? Why bavS I cot a right to suggest? (A voice: have.") Because I was your candi date am I now stopped from ever making suxKefeUonsf ^Criea of "No! Mo!") Why, air, if that condition went with a nomination for tbe presidency, no man worthy to ba president would ever accept a nomination, for the right of a man to bavs an opinion and to express it la more important and sa cred than tbs bolding of any office, however high. ' I have my opinion about the platform. I make' my ait#? geetlona. Not all of them were re* woelved. I would like to have seen tbe Kaosas City platform reaffirmed, am not ashamed of that platform, believe in it now, as I believed in it when 1 was running upon It. Toen I was your candidate, but the people in the Democratic purty did not agree with me, and their will was supreme. When they veto my suggestions I have to soerpt. There is no other court which I can appeal to. I have oot attempted to dictate about cxndi- datoe. YfrUiSrfOl A SOOD TICKET. I have not asked tbe Democrats of 40 years ago; they will ask wbare does ba stand today In thenar? PLUTOCRACY TBS ISSUE. -My friends, ) believe that tbs great laaue In this oouotiy today la platoo- rsoy versus Democracy. You have aald that I have only one Idea, tin sil ver Idas. Wall, a while back they aald I had only on*, but than It was tbe tariff Idas. There la an issue greater than the silver issue.

It is either this or It la to be a | the re- rule of tbe moneyed element of the there dele- country for their owo interest alone. The laaue has beau growing. WHAT ROOSBVBLT STANDS FOB. I want you Democrats here aasem bled to help us meet this question You toll ma the R?publican candidate stands for militarism. Yes, but be also stands for plutocracy. You tell me he delights In war. But there la another objection to him, and that Is that be does not enforce the law against a Mg criminal as be does against a llttl ■ criminal. Tbe laws are being violated today, and there laws must be enforc ed. The people must understand that • ;v n* . about ore above normal, due to very avaa night temperatures and moder ately hot days.

Some aay that wa must have a grew campaign fund and go oat and bid against tbe Republicans. My fri I want cratio party Is to save this nation it must not save it by purchase, but by principle. Every time we resort tojpur chase we cultivate the spirit of hairier, and the price wlli constantly increase and elections will go to the highest bidder. MUST APPEAL TO CONSCIENCE. If the Democratic party is to save this country it must appeal to tbe con science of the country. It most out the dangers of tbe republic, and jf the party .wRLoepataste a man—I care not from what part he come—who is not the oondldate of a faction, who is not the candidate of an element, but the candidate of a party, the party will stand by him and will drive the Republican party from power and save this country. My friends, I believe that yon could tike a man from any southern State who would go out and make a fight that would appeal to Democrats, all the Democrats who love Democratic prtfaolplre and Republicans who begin a delegate from Nebraska. I have not confidence enough in my own opinion to toll you that I can pick out the mao and say that this man must ba nomi nated or we shall lose. I have, I think, a reasonable faith In my own opinion; at least I have this faith: that I would father accept my own. to fear for their nation 1 ! welfare—take such a man and I believe that he would poll a million more vote* than tbe can didal* of any other faction whose se lection would be regarded aa a triumph of a part of the party over tbe net of the party. 1 am bare to discharge a duty that and stand by them, If I believed them X owed to the party; I knew before I ale you trying to defeat tbe military idea? Let are tell you that not one of you, north, east or south, more fears the triumph of that Idea than I do. If this ia the doctrine that our nation la to stand for, it is retrogres aloe, not progression, ft Is the lower ing of the Ideals of the nation, It Is the turnlnjg backward to tbe age of forces More than that, it is a chal lenge to tbe Christian civilisation of tbe world and nothing lere. upon the earth and tbe song that wap aung at Hla birth was: “Peace on earth, good will toward men." For 2,000, years this doctrine of-peare has been growing. It been taking bold upon tbs hearts Qt men. For this. doctrine of peaoe millions have given their Uvea. For this doctrine of peaoe thousands have croased oceans and given their lives among the savage tribes and among ““ nations. This doctrine of . the foundation of Christian VlUxation, has been tb* Rowing hope of tbe world. And now tbs ex governor of the greatest State of the. nation presents for the office of presi dent of the greatest republic of all! history a man who la grantle and iron." But, my friends, if 1 failed with six million and a half to defeat the Re publican party oan those who defeat ed me sneered In defeating the Re publican party? If under the leader ship of there who were loyal in 1896 we failed, shall w* succeed under the leadership of there who were not loyal In 1896? eon OF WAR OB A GOD OF GOLD. - If we are going to have some other god betide this war god that is pre- aented^o us by Gov. Black, what kind of a god IS It to be? Moat we choore between a god of war and a god of gold? Is there no choice between i? If there la anything that oom- parealn hatefulness with milliterism Is It plutocncr, and I insist that tbs and A insist that the party ought not to ba to ebooae between mtll- feariam m one aide and plutocracy oo STANDS OX- THS PLATFORM. and agreed upooa in aeati cwi 16 tf you can pat 16 entered the and right, than to accept anybody elae's If I believed them wrong.. Nebraska Is not here asking for the nomination of any man. We no# have a platform on which we all oan stand. Now give us a ticket behind which all of re oan stand. (Prolonged cheers.) * DOESN'T BELIEVE IN STATE PRIDE. You can go Into any State you please and get him. 1 have not as much faith as some have In the value of a locality. I have never been a great stickler for tbe nomination of candi dates from a doubtful State oo the theory that peraoual popularity would elect them. I have had to much faith In the virtue of Democratic principles that I thought a Democrat ought to vote for a good man from any other Slate before be Mould vote for a bad CBRnTIAN DOCTRINE OF PEACE. ity-seven hundred yean ago J frean from his own State fWbtold tbs coming of one k -r—w —j to be called tbe Prince of ' Peace. Two thousand years ago He tin earth and ju. I do not believe much In this doc trine of State pride, and I found that when people oomq with a candidate and tell us first that we must carry a certain State, and that that man la tbe only one wbo could, carry the State, they do not put up a bond to deliver the goods If they are accepted. And, anyhow, a State that is so uncertain that only one Democrat can carry It cannot be relied upon In a great crisis. Now, we have our platform. Ssleet your candidate. If It ia the wish of this convention that the standard should be placed in the hands of the gentlemen presented by California (Hearst), the man who, though he has money, pleads the cause of tbe people, the man wbo is the beloved, I think I can safely say, among laboring men of all the candidates proposed, the one who more than any other, represents opposition to the trust question, well and good. WOULD TAKE A GOLD MAN. If you eastern Democrats who have insisted tint your objection to me eras my belief In free silver, tf you Demo crats are willing to take a gold man I am willing to let you have your way pu that question in this man, for 1 will tniit his honesty in all questions. But,.my friends, I do not, Nebiaska does not, demand that I only men tion this candidate as an illustration. came to this convention that a ma jority of tbe delegates wopld not agree with me tn my financial views. I knew that there would be among tbe dele gates mauy who did not vote for me when 1 corely needed their help. 1 was not objecting to the majority against me, not to tbs presence of those who went away and oame back. came to get them as good a platform as I oould. I have helped them to get a good platform. I came to help them to get as good a candidate as I can, and ! hope that he wllTBe one wbo can draw the factious together, who can glve^o us who believe in aggressive, positive, Democratic reform, some things to hope for, and to those who have differed from us uu the main question, that he can give them some thing to hope for* t/m.

A special to the Columbia State from Florence says: Comptroller Gen eral Jones has just completed copies of the testimony taken in the caswof 3. J. Ea,t, the policeman In Florence who was arrested on tbe charge of burning down the Pee Dee tobacco warehouse. The teitimony gives an account ot aiL. interesting detective case whkfiv was worked by a citizen of Florence, Mr. C. H. Barringer, and how East was tangled in a lot of cir cumstantial evidence. Ewt was granted bail Wednesday In Sumter, but It is understood that be will be watch ed ani not allowed to leave the state. The testimony abo we a hoe Mr. Bar ringer had bis suspicions aroused on the night of the fire by the actiocs of ■ Policeman East, and be determined tot play the role of detective. Mr. Bar- whom he took into his confidence, and then under the assumed name of John Howell be wrote letters to East which were supposed to come from surround ing towns demaeding money or threat ening exp>ure. Howell was supposed to be a traveling man and several let ters were written demanding 110. At first East did not answer these, but finally one was written in which ‘‘Howell” stated that be saw the deed and inclosed a letter from female In Florence, which stated tbe same thing. Ewt then wrote "back that he dlB war special dispatches mention a Jap anese disaster at Port Arthur. THE STORY REPEATED. A dispatch from St. Petersburg says a special dispatch from Ta Tche Klao dated July 14 repeats the ac counts of the storming of Port Arthur July 10 and saying thap the Russians assumed tbe cffeoslve and attacked with the bayonet. The Japanese re tired in the wildest disorder. The Obfoere estimate the Japanese losses at 22,000. The spirit of the Japanese, tbe dispatch says, is sinking as the result of the Port Arthur engage ment. Dysentery is epidemic at Feng Wang Cheng and there are many deaths dally. LOSS HEAVILY. r A dispatch from St. Pet rsborg says tbat tbe Japanese were heavily de feated is not doubti d here, hut Id the absence of further Information tbe extent of the dls?s > er tbat befell them Is beginning to be seriously question ed. Definite news has been received from Viceroy Alexleff’s headquarters at Mukden that a week before tbe engagement at Port Arthur, Maj. Gen. Eork administered a severe de feat on the Japanese on July 4 and July 5, driving them from the heights commanding "Lunsantan pass with a loss of 2,000. This is considered here as proof that there baa been bevvy fighting before the fortress of Port Arthur and as making the silence of Tcklo regarding It all the more s'g- nlttcant. THE NEWS CONFIRMED. A dispatqh to a news agency from St. Petersburg says the war office ah- nounces the receipt of a dispatch from Port Arthur confirming the report tbat tbe Japanese sustained consider able losses on July 11, the fxact parti culars of which have not yet bean as certained. According to the dispatch the Russians recaptured all tbe posi tions lately taken by tbe Japanese. In the fighting at the right flink of the line of defenses of Port Arthur, July 3 to July 6, the Russians drove back tbe Japanese and occupied tbe east bank of tbe Lunsantan and the heights commanding Lunsantan pass. The Japanese losses were about 2,000. Those of the Russians were insignifi cant. Vapb withdraw. A dispatch from Mukden says: ‘‘The Japanese have withdrawn from the west side of the railroad-and are mass ing their armies on the Russian left. Reoonnoiasances in force carried out by Russtan oavaly and artillery Fri day and Friday almost aa far south as Kal Chou failed to disclose tbe Japa nese. A division Is expected from Ta Pane.
