Democratic Party Firmly Reunited. KANSAS CITY CONVENTION. Splendid Assembly of American Freemen. THE PLATPORM AH INSPIRATION. Every Lover of Haman Liberty Can Stand Upon it?Webster Davis' De votion to Principle?W ill Stamp the Country For Democracy?Patriot* Leave the Party of Imperialism. Colored Voter? Also Quit?Trouble Over Henna's Platform. [Special Washington Letter.] A reunited Democracy is what came out of the Kansas City convention. The lines will be closed up everywhere from Marthas Vineyard to the Golden Gate and from the great lakes to the gulf of Mexico. Enthusiasm is more contagious than the measles, the small pox or the black plague. Enthusiasm "was on tap from the moment that the Hon. James K. Jones rapped the con vention to order until the gavel of the Hon. James D. Richardson, permanent chairman, fell for the last time, when he declared the great coDvention ad journed sine die. Everything that hap pened was heartily cheered, including the chaplains prayer. The first men tion of Bryan's name set the conven tion in a turmoil of enthusiasm that lasted over half an hour. The reading of the Declaration was interrupted time and time again with roars of ap plause. \ . Greatest Convention Ever Held. The reading of the platform need not have consumed more than 20 minutes. Bave for the applause, which made the reading consume an hour. The great factional fight so widely advertised by iRepublican papers and which originat ed in their imagination never came off. It was the greatest convention ever held on the face of the earth. It was not composed of a lot of official pap suckers and tax eaters, but by a splendid array of American freemen. Mho think with their own brains and follow the dictates of their own con sciences, and the result of their delib erations was the best possible for the Democratic party, which is the same as saying that it is the best possible for the country. The platform is one upon .which every Democrat?indeed, every lover of human freedom?can stand, and the ticket nominated is the stron gest presented for the suffrages of the American people within a generation. It would be a work of supererogation to speak in detail of either William J. Bryan or Adlai E. Stevenson. The lat ter served with distinction in the high position in which he will serve four years more, and there is not dug man in America with two ideas above a Hottentot who doubts the qualifica tions of William j. Bryan for the high office of president. Webster Davis* Oration. One of the most remarkable oratorical performances ever witnessed was the speech of Hon. Webster Davis of Mis souri and South Africa before the con vention at Kansas < 'ity. Tt was just aft er the reading of the platform, the Boer plank of which reminded some of the great light Davis had been making for the Afrikanders, that delegates and spectators began to cry for Da vis. Chair man Richardson turned to where Davis ?at just back of the speaker's stand, erging him to come to the platform. Al most bodily he was lifted on to the dais , and stood for several moments before he could make his voice heard above -the myriad voices of approval and en thusiasm greeting him. Each clear sentence of his wonderful voice, reach ing the uttermost corners of the vast hall, called forth cheer upon cheer, and when he reached a particularly thrill ing line the tumult became uncontrolla ble. For five minutes the shouting rose and swelled. Finally he resumed and concluded, only to be borne to a seat among the Missouri delegates, clasped in th" arms of a dozen party leaders a*..: escorted by a banner waving thv'.>::^. It was a scene to be remem bered. Davis, magnificent, honest, splenditi in his manhood and his devo tion to the principles of liberty, had been the one clean thing left in the Re publican party in Missouri. Now he is pone from the corrupt organization for ever and has turned his great talents, backed by the energy of youth and the fire of conviction, to th<* work of bring ing the country back to the principles of the Declaration of Independence. Forlorn indeed are the Missouri Re publicans in his loss, which is not merely the loss of one vote and one voice, for there are thousands of young men in the rank and file of the obi par ty who will follow where Davis leads. Davis to Stump For Bryan. It is already known th:tt Davis will stump the republic this fall from ocean to ocean, as he ?lid in 1898 at McKin ley^ behest, for the purpose, as stated to him by tne president, of electing a Republican congress. The election over. McKinley congratulated him on the fact that every congressional distri* in which he had spoken had returned a Republican member to the lower house. Truly n wor^erful and unmatched per formance! By thai deed he balanced the account with the party of fraud ami corruption :nel then. like patriot, closed it forever. When he told the president that he was going '?> resign his high office, four separate times did McKinley plead with him to remain and stifle his convictions four times sent for him and offered him t!i?- best of the pie as his piece without effect. Thl" say from knowledge of the facts. Welcome to a Patriot. j For four years ho had been regarded I as the orator laureate of the Repub lican party. Now the vials of their wrath and the flood of their slander will be poured upon his head without stint. All that his friends will have to do in order to answer their lies about him in this campaign will be to repro duce in parallel columns all they have said about him in the past four years. They affect to sneer at him now, but they will hardly continue to do so after the election. Wherever there are patriotic hearts to stir Davis will stir them to their depths. In districts inhabited by large numbers of Boers and Germans he will be particularly strong in the cause of human liberty. For years he has been my personal friend. I have always re garded him as too good a man to be in the Republican party. On my own be half and in behalf of thousands of oth er good Democrats I welcome him most heartily into the Democratic party. He is only the advance guard of a great army of Republicans who love their country better than they love their party and will join us this year because they know that we are fighting to ihe end that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. Ceorgre S. Bootwell. Davis belonged to the young gen eration of Republicans. He is in the flower of his years and the prime of his powers, but the break from the -Re publican party is not confined to the youngsters. Just before Davis quit them the Hon. George S. Boutwell of Massachusetts cut the same caper. He is one of the veterans of the party, one of the men who made it. He was one of the earliest Republican governors of Massachusetts and if my memory serves me correctly the first. He.be longs to that race of New England giants of which Charles Sumner was the chief. He was not ouly governor of Massachusetts, but a representative in congress, a senator of the United States and a secretary of the treasury. II? was the frieud and confidential ad viser of U. S. Grant. It will not do for Republicans to sneer at him any more than it will do fgr them to sneer at Webster Davis. The truth is that the Republican party of today is held to gether only by the cohesive power of public plunder. If Lincoln and his con temporaries could rise from their graves, they would utterly refuse to recognize Hanna and his gang as lead ers of the party which they once led. Revolt Abrain ? t Republicanism. In leaving the Republican party Gov ernor Boutwell says : "It is a vain hope that the Republic an party as au organization can re verse this policy of the president. The hope is as vain as was the hope in 1861- that the Democratic pa: ty as an organization would aid in the abolition of slavery." Nor is the revolt against the Repub lican party confined to men who may reasonably be supposed to have politi cal ambitions. It extends to men of all classes. For example, in my own coun ty, in the city of Louisiana, there is a wealthy and influential lumber mer chant who was born a Republican and has been a Republican all his life and whose ancestors on both sides of the house were Republicans and Maine Re publicans at that. He is a nephew of the Hon. Israel Washburn. once a congressman from Maine; of the I Ion. Elihu B. Washburn. for 20 years a leading Republican congressman from Illinois and both secretary of state and minister to France under Grant: of the late General Washburn of Wisconsin, who was both governor of Wisconsin and a general in the Union army: also of ex-United States Senator Washburn of Minnesota. Colonel Buff urn is one of the few men living or dead who ever had three uncles in the United States congress at the same time. He is a fine business man. independent financially, and I doubt very much if he would ac cept any office whatever. Yet with these surroundings he feels it to be his patriotic duty to leave the Republican party and join the Democrats. Colored Men In Line. Nor is the revolt confined to white men of low or high degree, rich or poor. Recently the colored people of Missouri held a convention at St. Joseph for the purpose of discussing the feasibility of nominating a ticket of their own or of joining the Democracy. If this move ment should spread it would carry ter ror and dismay into the ranks of the Republicans in six or eight states which usually give their vote to the Republican presidential candidate. The truth is that the eolored population have been hewers of wood and draw ers of water ever since they were en franchised. They are bully boys just before the election in the Republican estimation, and tlx* next day ii usually snows, so far as they are concerned. They are used as eatspaws to pull the chestnuts out of the fire for the Repub licans, but they are not allowed to en joy any of the juicy kernels. They are beginning to realize that their interests are identical with those of the white men in the same localities, and a clear realization of this fact will lead them straight into the Democratic camp. To show still further the disintegra tion going on nmoiiir the Republicans I will quote a few lines from a letter I received from an Iowa Republican. I have never seen him in my life Inter alia, he says: "You are to nie?-t Hon. J. V. Dolliver j of Fort Dodge in public debate. I am glad of it. I am a Republican old sol dier. but I am thoroughly disgusted j with The administration of William i McKinley and hope Colonel Bryan will : bury him s<? deep that he wiil never be resurrected politically. McKinley turn- ? <tl his back <?n the old soldiers : > <<.?>> as they %?leetod him president." This Republican ex-soldier says much j moie in fh> same strain which 1 have not space to copy. Komi"* Fall Ossi. The Globe-Democrat is exceedingly displeased wirb the platform adopted at Kansas <'ity. which is the surest sign that 1 know of that the platform is right. 1 know of no safer rule of human conduct than to'linu out wiia. The Globe-Democrat wants and then go and do *he opposite thing. It has the infinite gall to talk about Bryan be ing a dictator, when, as a matter of fact, there isn't a Republican of any respectability in the United States who doesn't hide his head In shame every time he thinks of the doings of the Philadelphia convention. Mark Hanna was the whole thing, and everybody knows it. The only man in that vast aggregation of trust pap suckers who seems to have got from under Mark's thumb was the statesman who stole two or three planks of the Republican platform which Mark had dictated. It is said that one palpitating patriot re ceived $5,000 for changing the word Nicaragu?n into the word isthmian in that platform. If a Republican can get $5,000 for changing one word in a platform, it is only a question of arith metic as to how much he would get to change the whole 300 words. Now, if this letter falls under the eagle eye of any Republican sovereign let him recall that I did not originate the charge that part of that platform was stolen and has not seen the light of day. but it is made on the authority of the Hon. Charles Henry Grosvenor of Athens. O.. who is taken as McKin ley's mouthpiece on the floor of the house of representatives. That valor ous warrior asserts openly and above board that he has the original rough draft of the platform as written by Senator Joseph Benson Foraker and that somebody on the subcommittee to whom it was given to be copied cab baged two or three planks, and they did not appear in the platform that was sent out to the country. Now, on a question of veracity between Gen eral Grosvenor and the majority of his Republican confreres I prefer to be lieve Grosvenor notwithstanding the fact that sometimes when under high pressure the general himself is rather economical of the truth. So the next time The Globe-Democrat wants to say anything about platform it would do well enough to explain to an astounded world all about those lost planks in the Philadelphia platform, which are likely to create as much discussion as the sibylline leaves. Grosvenor closed his remarks about the platform in this wise: "Otherwise the platform, although badly written and in poor English and without angularity, conveys in a mild sort of a driveling way the best ideas of the Republican party." An Ideal Document. Individually I take much pleasure in reading and pondering the Kansas City platform, for it represents the ideals in which I have long believed. On Juno lt. JSOS. in the house of rep resentatives, fighting the annexation of Hawaii because I believed it would lead to infinitely worse things, inter alia I said: "Our institutions have in deed been purchased with a very great price, and yet we are about to imperil them by entering upon a vainglorious policy of imperial aggrandizement, gor geous in appearance, but surely fatal in its effect, or all history is a lie." I also feel good over the specific dec laration for 10 to 1. At the big anti trust banquet in St. Louis May 25. 1899. I said: "In U?<?<> we will express the unyielding principles of Democracy in this wise: We will not only reaffirm but readopt the Chicago platform of li?!<;. abating neither jot nor tittle of that second declaration of independ ence." >3?nsourl's Congressmen. One pleasant result of the census to Democrats everywhere will be that* Missouri will gain certainly three con gressmen and possibly four, and as illese wili be Democrats it strengthens the Democratic party greatly. The fight for the lirst place in the Union is now between Missouri. Texas. New York and Illinois, with the chances de cidedly in favor of the proposition that within the lifetime of men now living it will narrow down to Texas and Mis souri. Any gain in these states is pure ly a gain for Democracy. At the pres ent rate of increase Missouri will pass Ohio in 1910 and will probably pass Pennsylvania in l!>2i>. And anione the things upon which the people should felicitate themselves in the census this Is the one which should bring most joy to Democrats. In these letters I have frequently held Missouri up as an example of ap plied Democracy, a performance which I wish to repeat now. When the Dem ocrats cam? into power in this suite in 7873. ihe.v found a siate debt of over $20.) "oo.i h ) and hundreds of millions of county and township debts, every dol lar of which was created by Republic an maladministration, misrule and dis honesty. During 27 years of Demo cratic rule we have paid off most of the county and township debts and have cm the state debt to S2.000.000, every cent of which will be paid with in the next two years. And while we have been cutting the debt down we have also been cutting the rate of taxa tion down by three-fourths. What has been done in Missouri could be done in every other state in the Union propor tionately if they would elect Demo cratic officials constantly. With this splendid example of ap plied Democracy under their noses there is no excuse for any stale ever sroing Republican any more. Not only fhls. but Missouri has the largest avail able per capita school fund of any state in the Union, created by Democrats for the -ncf.t of all our people. The I-* ti ti ! sii l'or <'u mi i 11??.

Winnsboro's New Road. The secretary of state yesterday granted a charter to the ?Vinnsboro and Camden Railroad company, which proposes to build a line from Winnsboro to Camden, at wbich point connection will be made with the main line of the Seaboard Air Line. The capital stock is not to be less than ?300,000 nor more than one million. The directors are to be Thomas Elliot, Thos H Ketchin, J E McDonald and W R Elliott. The officers are Elliott, president ; Ketchin, secretary and treasurer ; IJ E McDonald, attorney, and C S Dwight, chief engineer. The required amount of the cap ital stock bas been subscribed aud paid in. It is said that at an early date steps will be taken for the holding of an election in Winnsboro on the question of that town subscribing $50,000 to the capital of the new road It is the purpose of the com pany to buiid the new road at the earlieet possible moment ?State, July 21.

Correcting lurid pictures of the Chinese dowager empress, a well informed gentleman declares tha: she ie "one of the strongest, if not the strongest woman, on any throne in the world today. The report that she is a drunkard and opium sot is without foundation. Her treatment of the wives of the ministers was the essence of politeness, though it may bave been all surface shine She undertakes how to play one man or one party off against another bet ter perhaps than any one who occu pled the throne for years She has held the throne longer than any woman has ever held the throne of China, and at a time when usurpation is more difficult and dangerous thau ever it has been before. She is look ed upon by all who know her as a very remarkable womau. nromraond 1V:?s on Top. Professor Henry Drnmmcnd had a boyish spirit win a man. and at the a:;;?

" Dr. Smith was in the game, and he says it was the most exciting one he ever played. 4'Nobody stirred from hu corner for 20 minutes. Then I heard a scuffle between two of the others, felt my way to fling myself on both of them, when Drummond pou need on me, and we all rolled in a heap, he, of course, on top. as he always was." ~ ATLANTIC COAST LINE Sorth-Eastern R.
