What the New York Democrat Said of William J. Bryan. The feature of the nutional. Demo cratic convention, after the greatou.t burst of ipplause following the first presentation of Bryan's name-, was the scene which occorred when David. 13. Hill seconded the 'nomination and promised the electoral vdtes of Ne* York to the ticket. The delegates had been calling for Hill for two days, and at his tirst appearance before tile cov vention they broke out with thunders of applause. When the cheers and cries of "11111-, * I !" had concluded and the vast audience was seated, he began to speak slowly, but. cleai ly, and the attention glyen him was remarkable. The vast hall was almost silent.. H is'laudation of Bryan was received with applause and cheers, but when hei said Bryan " will have the support of a united party " the convention went wild and the band had to.play ." America " to still the tumilt. " His integrity has never beet (uestiondd,'' asserted Mr. Hill, and the 'audidnce'ylid'd " that's so." His explanatlon of his position on the platform and his acqtilesVncc with the will of the majori'y called for heartier applause -than had been evi dent before and the good ollices of thce band were again necessary to got .a. tention for him. " This nomination will meet the ap proval of the East," he said,'and on thused his auditors. In closing he said . " New York expects to join with you with her thirty-six electoral votes," and then, as he stepped down from the platform the convention became a bed lam again. " Uill 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. Ex - Senator Edward .Murphy, as 1il passed to his seat, grasped his hand and shook it heartily. Then Mr. Shea, of Brooklyn, did the same and othets in the row, but Mr. Croker sat immo bile and Mr. Hill passed him vilthout any salutation. The ap~plause for Senator 11111 con tinued for some minutes. Here is what he saId : " Mr. P'resident and Gentlemen of the Convention-In behalf of the iDem ocratic masses of the State of New York, for whom I assume to speak on this occasion, I second the nomination which has been made from the State of Nebraska. (Applause and cheering.) William J. Bryan does not belong to Nebraska alone ; he belongs to The North and the South, to the East, and to the W est-he belongs to the country at large. It is a nomination already made in the hearts and alfections of the American people. locom the clos ing of the polls four years agh until this very hour there never was a poA# sibility of any other nomination being made. He is a gentleman that needs no introduction to thIs and,ience, nor to the American people. Nebraska is proud of hIm, but New York Is proud of him also, for four years he has up held the banner of Democracy in almost every State in the unIon, His vok..e has been heard not only in behalf of our principles, Lut- in -behalf of the cause of the colmoD people ;;in behalf of the workinginen in bebhvlf-.of human ity, Hie will not onlr3 have the support, of his party-a united party- -(applause, eheers and waving of lags, lasting for three minutes,-the band joIning lanthd demonstration, playing, ' America"') he is strong, sti-ong' witih the masses, strong vWith the farmdr, strong with -the arisn tdoereen than bib *own cause. .H1Is'integttyahas-nevgr been questioned - durifall 'the,. time that he has beeau'undeir the gai 9 ef- the American .people; .. ~e-tate maship -hais been exhibited i thi'hallIs of Con gross.

BRISTOW, NJ LL E S. 0. the propriety of going Into details of certain portions of oui- financial policy, but the wisdom of this convention has determined otherwise and I acquiesce cheerfully in the decision. (Loud ap plause and cries of " Hurrah for Hill. Bryan and Hill.") I am here to say further that the platform that has been read is worthy the vote and approval of every inan-who claims to be a Democrat in this country. Those who do not ad mire some portions can speak for others. If there are some issueR which they do not desire to present as strong as some others, they can at. least talk about something in this platform that is .worthy:- their approval. At least, In some portions of this country the para mount issue is going to carry and carry strongly. (Applause.) " This is the time for unity and not for division, I. plead. tonight for party harmong ad6lfor party success. I plead 'becaus-of'the dangers which confrodt us. As sure as election day comes, and if we should happen to be defeated, it 'means thb restoration of a Iledcral elec tion law. It, means a reduction of .the apportionment of.imembers of Congress throughQut the Southern States of our Union. It,-means a consequent reduc tion in the electoral 'college from our Southern States, and the plea of ne cessity will be made because it will be apparent by e~ection day that some of: th'ree#. Vorn States of the West, which they had rolled upon. had gone over to the Democratic party. (Ap plause.) " What vye'ned is an old-fashioned, rousing .eibooratic victory throughout this land. That will mean a restora tion of the currency of our fathers. (Great applause.) That will mean home rule for States ; that wil! mean popular government restored ; that will mean the supremacy of equal laws throughout the country, and in this great result which we hope to achieve, I am here to say simply in conclusion that New York expects to join with you hbr 36i electoral votes." A DIi'.PiONS TO UIlt NA v .-The es cape of the noble Oregon from the clash and peril of the rocks has caused great rejoicing throughout the coun try, says the Atlanta Journal. We are building larger and mightier warships, but the Oregon will always hold special place In th'e. affection and pride of the peolie. She was distinctly the highest achievement of our naval construction up to the time of her appearance. She came upon the scene of action at a t~ine when she was needed, and be haved so splendidly that she won a place in-the popiular regar-d which she will not soon lose. But we are adding to our navy some of the strongest ships that ever sailed the seas, and several of these are being constructe.d at tihe Union Iron Works, where the Oregon was built. At those shipyards the Wyoming will be0 launchedl in August, the Ohio- the latter part of August, andT the torpedo-boat destroyer, Preblo, the last of July. Mr. Irving M. Scott, president of the Union fron Works, did not. get the LRe publican nomination for vice president for which his friends urged him, but, he has scored a greater triumph by cons'tructing shil's which will add to the strength and glory of our navy. amsh been'jndiciflly do c5.a igd meal b~y a judge in Tort .Gaads~oA restaurateur was rr oraeoling.lce cream ila viol atiofttb Suilaa law fomi'blaaing the sale of upneessary atrticles on that day. lIm th-e'- judfg~ h'eld 'thiat th e statu te had not, b~een -violated by the sale of the ;creaa', saigyhiiat he was of "thbe-opin E idn'undez'.Al1-'the alrctmeances of the case thesupp ly- * t,he persons with ice - dpdielaupp r og a refreshment in the pature of alight meal in the ordin ary- omurcio; of lthg rtauateumr's eating houbb, and was not an olfence under the statmbe." - -Tien Tain, the centre of t o manay exciting scenes In UIina just now, is one of the largetolti'es i time Empire, having fully 1,000,000 inhehiMeats.

IIIjIji l'VIeS IN BRYAN. 11111 Arp Says tim Nebraska States naan Is a Whiner. Away back In the -10 when James K. o'lk was noininatted at laltimore for president the mall came to our little tow n three tintsa wook by stage. It brought the news in an Augusta pa per. My father was postmastor, and when he tore oil the wrapper to read the news to the waiting peouple and gave the name of I 'olk as thbe nom Inoe my good old Norwegian friend, Nic Onnborg, throw hi, hat up and shout ed : 11He is do man-do best man. Ieo vill beat Mr. Clay out of his poots. Moester Smit, vot did you say hoes name vas ?" That is faith-Domiocratic faliL. I am just that way about Bryan, only I know his name. "Clarum ot venerabile nom1en." Was there over a grander, purer statesman on the American con tinent. Was there over a partisan as pirant for the presiconcy who stood so far above all rivals that no one presum ed to question his right to the nomxina tion and this notwithstanding hil do feat in the last raco ? What,-manner of man Is he that without elfort or politi Cai Intriguehe has for four years stood pre-emifnnt the choice of the Democra cy of every State? Without fear and without reproach, his will has boon and still is the will of the party. Sin cerity earnestness and purity of char actor in private and p-lblic life have onthroned i im in the hearts of the people and my faith is like Ominberg's. " 1e vill beat MCKinley out of his pooLs." As to his running mate, Sena tor Tillman is right. It docson't make any difference so ho is a Democrat and a gentleman. Bryan doosent need i helper. In horse talk, a running ani e is a teaser, ao exciter, a stlinulator pitt on the track to make the racet go fas ter if possible. Bryan will get as many votes In .Now York without lill as with him. Hll and Croker quarreled and each told the trath on the other. They are exqI isite politicians. Bryan is a statesman. There aro thousands of us who believO that all those wars have been preci pitated for party pur poses, and the blool of our boys is crying from the ground. Oor Southern People have lost faith in the ability of the administration to extricate the country from this mountain of troubil. We mubst have a change and that soon, or the mountain will got, bigger. ihis administration began With war on in its heart, for heretofore warts have been popular with the peoplo and kept the war party in power and gave tihe manu facturers up North plenty to do. What a mus3 have they got in Cuba and I'or to lico and the I'hilippines, annexing a few more million negroes to givo us trouble and killing tnemn by the thou .sands without a cause, and raising a big rumpus if we lynch One down hero. And now we are about to be Involved in this war with China-a war that no doubt was precipitated bcecause of our aggressions on tihe Philippines and the nIaglish 6n the oers. China sees that, the motto of the Christian nations is : " Let those take who have tile power, an I lot those keop who can." .For fifty years 10ngland has forced China to buy her opium, grown and made In india for English imerchants, until the product now amounts to $50, 000,000 a year. And now China i6 taking her revenge. Pr many years past Iussia has been discussing the partition of China just as the partiLion of Poland was made and discussed for " 'reedom's shrieked When Koseiusko fell, and Poland w as divided out among the vowers." China has brooded over all this and the time came for a terrible revenge. But what about our missionaries ? Mv wife, who is my running mate, is muchi exer-cised about, that, for she is a great missionary woman and attends every meeting and takes her money aiong. I told her not long ago that I did entL have much faith in the conversion of the Chinese, for there are thousands over here, right under the sound of the Sabbath belle, and not, one ever attends church or has expressed any concern about his soul. Lsady Churchill repor)It od to her society that it had spent ?300,000 in twelve months in an effort to convert the Jews in Poland, and she was satislied thbey had converted one p~erhaps two-and she adivisetd an aban donlment, of tihe work. Th'e religion of the Chinese is as old as that of the Jews anti sticks to) themi as close, but still the i ssionaries tic rep~ort at heal thy pr-ogress anti abrc reliniiing anti re forming and clhiIdruen and dtilng much chxari table wcork among the poor. T1hat's all right, orI it seemed to b) so0, bult now it is all wraonxg. It makes any people jealous fcor foroelgn ers to coame in with now methiotds land begin to ci ctate as to their needs anti manners and rellioin. We woulcdent stand it, la week.

But we are going to elect, Brcyan, silver or no silIver, for lhe is an~ honest man anti his wife is his running maite, a beautiful and lxmrcssivye womfani if the picture of her face is a true One.

Wlhat it Weel has Done fr one Sec. tion or tio Stato. Mr. N. L. Willot writos as follows to the Augusta Chronicle : I was anxious to look into that por ,ion of South Carolina that has in the3 past soveral years gone into tobacco growing and has thereby proipered sio greatly. I was glad thorefore to stop a day at Darlington, S. C., with iy friends, Mr. and Mrs. U. W. lowitt, who own ono of the finest homes iI this thriving town of -1.500 souls. L)arling ton solt, nlow 5,000,OU poundis tobacco loaf, Timmonisvillo over ,0o0,ooo pounds and Plorenco equally as inuch -those throo towns being all in the same county. This loaf solls for from 6 to 7c. a pound to 28 and :0. This difforenco in price obtaining princi vally from ditforonces in soil and cur ing of loaf. Tihe proportion is this : Ten (10) acres in tobacco Is the equi valeunt, of 100 acres in cotton--roturn Ing say $:0 an acre and the tobacco $50 to $150. The tobacco industry has brought a a largo number of tobacco raisers into this county ; and land that live years ago was of only nominal value today brings ready sale at greatly enhanced valuos. Mr. Howitt told ino of one man who, for example, had been Co, ton farming for sixteon years and was bankrupt who in four years had under tobacco raising now owned thbe phlac having paid out nearly $7i,000. These people have found, too, that the Lst tobacco lands aro the light, worn-out, cotton lands. The season for tobacco growth Is mu cich less than cotton. Tobacco plant ed, say in April, is aheady .comiiing to market,. .Illy and August, In place of being dead months, are live buisiness months In Darlington. From Juily to Dlecember are tobacco market months. The care of the tobacco plant is a mat tr of 67 to 7i days. Now compare this 1ime with the six or seven montbs ni erded for cotton I To grow tobacco at a prolit r qtilroc more brains than to grow cotton. It requires, too, experience. It requires, too, a certain outlit, that costs Home money to the grower. Then enough must be grown in a county to warrant the putting up of warehouses--costing each about $5,000-in the nearby LOWn. The drying houses to be put up on the plantation are of logs and Imlud. The tLown warhouio is i a woodon long one story alfair with big windows in the roof. The acreage of tolbcco is so small 14) to 100 of cotton- - that the cotton acreage of I county need not he largely decreased because of tobacco growing. Tobacco might he largely the surplus crop. The railroads running out of l)arlington have about as much cotton a's over and yet now added to this have 5000,000 pounds of tobacco leaf. I be levo It wol d he a good idea for the va rious railroads out of A igusta to look into th is tobacco busine!s. The opening of this new culture in a now county iluist, curio, I fool, largely through the railroads. 'rimary soil experiments must, be madO, a few tobacco culturist s Im ported, farmors' cooieration se,-u rod etc. The railroads can do this ; and if the experiment sicceed they will be repaid 100 fold. The Atlantic Coast lne a few years ago abandonc d the use of wood on its engines between Wilmington and Wilson, N. C., and substituted coal. To kop these poor piney woods choppers from starvation -aimost-the .railroads looked i p) strawberry culture'for them. The road inaugurated the business successfully. The poor wood sellers aire today far better off than ever aid tibe road haul ed thi past season 900 cars of straw berries (a new splecies of freight to themi) out, of thbe terri tory. T1he aidvent of tobacco~i in and abouilt Darl ingtoni has raisedl the county, mliht say, almost out of p~over't3y inte s ilunce. All lines of businuess are gooid. A fter looking oiver the towvin full of $8,000 and $10,000 residencies and all well kept--I said Lt) l''riend i e witt, that I did not, believe there was a poor mani in thu towni. lie told me tbat In one day ho hail couunted 4(00 country w agons In town.
