The Ameri can ea*rle and the Democratic roos ter have vied with cach other in giving Denver oi*c of the most lurid Fourth of July in its strenuons ex istence.

At night the State Capitol and other public buildings loomed out of the darkness in living fire with every outline marked by myriad lights, the streets pulsated with convent ion thongs ami the elatter of fireworks: the hotel lobbies were filled with pol itieal leaders, delegates and onlook ers from every section of th" eon itrv. It is estimated that 'JO, 000 strangers are already here and (>0,000 more are cxpeete l in the next two da;. s. The arrivals included the Missouri delegation headed by the t:*11 gaunt foim of Senator Stone; part of the North Caioliaa delegation headed by Governor Glenn who promptly retired his candidacy fcr th? vice presidency, and straggling advance guarJs of many of the other delegations. Those Ith Judge Parker, the Democratic ean Vdatc of 1004, Colonel Clayton, of Alabama, the silver-tongued South- j ener. ho will lis poinian nt chairman j of the convention; Chief Muiphy, of rammanv Hall, and Governor Has- . kell, of Oklahoma, a likely candidate for chairman of the platform com tnittce, are t he chief figures of nat- I lonal interest on the giour.il. Denver. Special. ? The platform sent here from Lincoln to the rcso'u tions committtee of the Democratic National Convention has been con pleted. It follows closely the lin"< of the Nebraska platform, as written by Mr. Bryan last March, and is otic of the shortest enunciations of the kind in th? modern political history of the country.

The declaration was made in eonneetion with a discussion he indulged in regarding the action of the Republican National Convention iu failing to insert such a plank ?s he said "after President Koosevelt aud Mr. Taft had both <"? glared themselves in favor of such action," and -was made with a sincerity that left .no doubt in the minds of his hearers that he meant all he said. Split Over Cleveland. Charging that Alton B. Parker's | resolution of tribute to .the memory of the late President (Jrovpr Cleve land is n clever move on the part of the enemies of William J. Bryan to infuse factional feeling into the national convention, friends of the Ncbraskan are determined to offer a resolution of a character designed not to raise controverted political issues. All Democrats, without regard to factional affiliations,* applaud the suggestion coming from New York that the national convention should embrace the first . opportunity of honoring the memory of Mr. Cleve land, but most of those who have expressed themselves on the subject are of the opinion that the resolu tions adopted should not contain any thing over which there could he the slightest difference of opinion. Mascot Obtained. The Democratic party has secured its mascot tor the approaching con vention. It came iu the shap" of a Kock Mountain burro, which was presented to Chairman Thomas Tag gcrt, of tl># national committee, by the Denvtr Times. Mr. Taggart was unaware of the honor intended for hiin n:it il the animal was ushered in to his presence at his headquarters in the third I'cor of the Brown Hotel. It was duly labeled; in large letters in paint, one side bearing the iu script ion : "My name i< Denver; ask me," the expression having reference to a huge badge for residents issued by the citizens' committee for the bene- ? tit of the strangers, reading: "I live ; at Denver, ask me." The other side was inscribed: "I belong t <* Tom Toggart." WELCOME ARCH, DENVER, 001,0., AT UNION STATION Wliick Bluzod u Welcome to Delegates to tho Democratic Nationul Convention.
