The National Democratic Convention held at Chicago, last week, will go down in history as the greatest political gathering ever held in the United States. It was great in attendance; it was great in interest manifested ; it was great in results accomplished. Further, it will be memorable because of the power and brilliancy of the speech made before it by Willitm Jennings Bryan, at a time when he was unmentioned and unthought of as a presidential candidate or possibility—the eloquence, the logic, the delivery of

Ere he bad littered many words he had the attention of the audience and raptured their admiration and good will ; his voice, clear and distinct; was heard in every part of that vast hall—the people sat aod listened with wraptju-1 tention—strongly, sw'ftly, steadily, skillfully he m ide his points and worked up to a grand climax of oratory and argument, and the applause was not only great but also grand— ’twas heartfelt and spontaneous; 't-.vas a roar of indoisement intermineled with peans of praise. During the remainder of his address the convention ball was noted as in cyclonic disorder or else in the silent calm which precedes the storm. It

As lie concluded his grand burst of eloquence and started from the platform a marvelous scene flashed forth as if suddenly thrown upon a vast canvas. What was a minute before a quiet, orderly galliotiug became a howling mob of frantic men and
women.
Delegates stood on their chairs and yelled and danced and threw their hats and canes high up toward the rafters, the audience was simply a screaming panorama of hysterical enthusiasm. From all parts of the tloor delegates started toward the orator, and as he reached the foot of the steps he picked up and carried bodily to his seat in the Nebraska delegation ; carried through a lane of shouting men, who made strenuous efforts to reach out and touch him. He was the coolest man among the delegates. On his face was a smile of justifiable triumjih. He bad fulfilled the expectations of his friends

The result will be long felt and far reaching; it means emancipation for the people from servitude to Mammon ; it foretells of brighter days and better conditions for all who earn a livelihood, whether by brawn or brain; it insures Democratic success bec-uise it pressnts a righteous cause in words so plain and strong that all grasp
their import
The bondholders and money changers of the east who have dicta ted the coinage and currency' laws of the country for thirty years or more, in Congress and convention, were unpleasantly surprised at Chicago last week. They evidently thought that they would succeed in bulldozing or coaxing the Democrats into subjection, as they had the Republicans, at St. Louis, a few weeks before, and were unprepared for the overwhelming defeat meted out to them. Their undoing at the convention, however, will lead them to make great sacrifices and put forth herculean eflbrts to win at the polls in November—time and money will lie used without stint to canvass and corrupt; the people should realize this fact now ; they should become strong in faith and valiant in works, that their old time enemy may be met and overthrown. There is no time to waste—united efifort in every precinct should be had—the campaign should be cleared of all false an t minor issues—the tight should be between the classes and the masses, and the mass es should eo champion the money of the constitution, silver and gold, at 16 to 1, that victory will be theirs, and thus settle tbj currency [uestion for all time to come.

How William J. Bryan became the commander of the delegations, the hero of the people, and the presidential nominee of the Democratic party, is a story difficult to picture in print; words fail of power to depict the work of the master mind and eloliient tongue. Great men had preceeded him in discussing the same question before the convention; speeches had been made by Hill, Jones, Russell and others, and the session of the convention had already been long and the audience was restless. Bryan had been selected to close the argument for the silver coinage advocates, and he left the Nebraska delegation walked down the aisle, with Hashing eyes and head erect. As he ascended the steps to

their arms and exerting their voices to the utmost. Imagine tiers of seats rising 40 feet toward the roof and every seat occupied, hundreds, even thotis ands, standing in the aisles, and all acting as though bereft of reason. Imagine above all a steady roar like the roar of an ocean in a storm beating against a range of dill's. Some times the roar would die away, only to start again down in some obscure section of the hall, sweep up along the line, grow stronger as it traveled and reach the limits of the audience with a force that stunned the ear and made the brain feel. No man, woman or child who heard Bryan’s speech and saw and heard the ovation given him will ever forget it—the events of the day mark an epoch in American polities that will go down in history, and coming generations will strive to emulate the man who made the
day memrrable.

I believe the struggle now going on in this country and in other countries for a single gold standard would, if successful, produce widespread disaster in and throughout the commercial world. Tae destruction of silver and establishing gold as a sole unit of value must have a ruinous effect upon all forms of property except those impr6vemeots which yield a fixed return in money. It is impossible to strike silver out of existence as money without results which will prove distressing to millions and disastrous to tens of thousands. I believe gold ami silver coin to be the money of the American people anterior to the constitution, which the great organic law recognized as quite independent of its own existence. No power was conferred on congress to declare either metal should not be money. Congrcs'*
