today formally noli fled of his nomination for vino president on the Ite mown tic ticket. Bryan arrived in town yesterday evening. couving from Chicago, and wltli him came Mack. Woodson, and oilier parly .officials. The distinguished visitors spent the day yesterday receiving party friends and conferring with them on the situation. The Programme This Morning Hie morning programme today was an informal reception at the lintel ■where Itr.vau was stopping—the Denison : a conference between the party leaders, a ‘drive through the city and a band concert. Itrynn’s reception here was enthusinst’c and en route here he "was warmly received at every station where the train stopped. He delivered live minute speeches at several places and shook hands with hundreds. After the speeches at the Colosseum have ended this afternoon Itryan and the other official visitors will lie entertained at dinner at the Country club by Mr. and Mrs. Kern. Party Arrives at the Colosseum The visitors started fnj the fair grounds at 1 p. to., being taken there In automobiles, preceded by a pin toon of mounted police. There was no hand and no parade, although the city was full of Democratic marching clubs, and Hie party arrived tit the fair grounds on time The Colosseum had been opened, and was packed with people when the olliciat party arrived. The decorations of the great building were cnnliued entirely to the national, colors amt, two targe portraits, one of Bryan and one of Kent When the nominees and their party made their appearance.-on- the platform a great shout went up that, was long continued The preliminaries were soon disteised of. Thomas Taggart called the gather ing to order, and then handed the gavel to Norman K Mack. *w ho presided. There was music aiujra prayer, and everything w is ready for the notification.

BKI.I. TKI/I.S kF.KN THE NEWS Homing Hriiponda In a Speech on the —“Ciar" and Tariff - . The first man to the front was Theodore E. Bell, of California, chairman or the notification committee. He was received with a round of nj.phiusc, and with John \V. Keru standing facing him he proceeded in a brief speech to tell the nominee that he was the nominee and fully .deserved the honor. Bell having concluded Kern faced the audience and then the applause broke out afresh and was eontinued until Kern raised bis hand and pleaded for quiet. He began with a hearty acknowledgement of the- honor which had been given, “but disavowed It for himself, •aring that It was rather a recognition of the stalwart Democrats of tne Hoosier state. Then he proceeded to fire hot shot Into the oower of the speaker of the

bonse, declaring that .Speaker Cannon was this body's absolute ruler, and that DO legislation could be transacted without hts consent, the only alterant! vs, as he quoted Cannon as declaring, being the deposition of the speaker and the eleetlon’of another man in his place, which Kern declared was to force his own party'to'put a humiliation on the man It had chosen to preside over the house. After enlarging on this situation the orator took up the tariff. On this subject he said iu part: The Republican candidate for vice president in Ids recent speech of acceptance landed the Dingley bill, and declared that when enacted It was well adapted to existing conditions, hut proceeded to add “that the developments of Industrial prosperity In a decade which. In volume and degree have surpassed our most roseate expectations, have so altered condition? that in certain details of schedules they no longer 1n every particular metqout Justice to all.” For these reasons he declared In favor of a readjustment.

The hundreds of thousands of American workingmen who are now vainly seeking employment, were doubtless delighted when they read about that “Industrial prosperity" which so “surpassed our most roseate expectations.’* American manufacturers, whose factories are Idle by reason of a restricted market, and those whose business has been crippled by reason of tbe high tariff tax on raw materials,, will read this speech with peculiar satisfaction. If the wages of labor dejYend upon a high tariff, why should any man favor a reduction of that tariff? If. after eleven years of surpassing prosperity, brought about**by the Dingley bill, business languishes, and labor suffers, why not, excite some more “roseate expectations'* by raising the tariff rates.

Every legitimate business interest la the country is demanding tariff reform. The manufacturer who is not a monopolist is demanding cheaper raw materials and wider markets for hla products. ■ The workingman understands that a restricted market means tireless furnaces and enforced Idleness. lie knows that American workingmen, with their superior intelligence and ingenuity, with their improved machinery, with cheaper raw materials and earning for their employers more than twice as much as the laborers of any other country, have nothing to fear from competition with workmen anywhere when the products oif their labor are set down side by side in the markets of the world. Under this system the cost of living so increased as to absorb the earnings of the laborer, after the most rigid economy and self jffvniai on his part and that of his family. The farmer understands that while he has to buy everything in a protected market, where, on nearly every purchase. he is. compelled to pay tribute to the trusts and tariff beneficiaries, he is compelled to sell his surplus products In a free trade market where lie comes In competition with all the'rest of the world

Thinking people of a!, classes are becoming interested in the moral aspect of this question The president in vigorous language has pointed out the evils which have grown out of the existence of “swollen fortunes, the most of which have been amassed hv the beneficiaries of this system. The president rails against swollen, fortunes as menaces to the public welfare and as promotive of evils which eat at the very heart of society. As remedies he has suggested an income tax and an inheritance tax, that their growth uiay be to some extent cheeked. The national convention of his party is silent upon the question of these reforms. The Democratic nnrty while favoring the reform measures repudiated by the Republican national convention has another remedy. It would *by legislation in large degree out off the streams of money which under the present system are flowing from every home In the land and emptying Into the coffers of the trusts. It would by rigorous law enforcement strike down private monopolies which prey upon the people, and protect the public against .extortion and imposition by ttie great public corporations In other words. It would undertake te bring about in government a renliza tion of tli't good old Democratic maxim of Thomas Jefferson: “Equal and exact Justice to all men: special privileges to none." It has no war wage on capital. It lias no, quarrel with Vorporntions honestly capitalized which carry on a legitimate business according to law. It will encourage the investment of capital lij the development of the country and protect it when invested. 1 will not at this time, discuss the ■evernl planks of the national platform. I Indorse that platform In all its parts and pledge my best endeavors towards securing the reforms to which the party Is by its terms committed. Gentlemen, we enter upoff this campaign with every prospect of suceesk. Never has a political platform been received with such favor by all classes of people, and never h.ts a candidate been presented by any party who was closer to the hearts of the people than our matchless standard bearer. William J. Bryan. BRYAN TACKLES THE TRUSTS Charges His Opponents with Indifference on the Combine Issue. During Kern’s address, there was more than liberal applause, and when he concluded the building rang with cheers for several minutes. were redoubled as the nominee for president Wm. .T. Bryan, arose to disease the trust question and the party leader

stood j»peeehle«* for some time, occaslonnlly raising his band for quiet pud then dioppfhg It as the cheers only rang louder. But all things end some time and so did the applause, and when he couffi be heard, Bryan launch ed out In a speech against the trusts. His first words were: “Nowhere does tli a Republican party ghgw Its Indifference to real reform more than in its treatment of the trust ifluestlon.'* lie then quoted the Republican plank on the trusts, and said of the Sherman anti-trust law' that. Instead of being a "wholesome Instrument for good." it almost useless. so far as the protection of the public Is concerned, for the trusts havp grown in number, in strength, and In arrogance, at the very* time when the Republican party was boasting of its enforcement of the law. He added that the Republican platform pointed out no remedy against the trusts. Then he quoted the Democratic platform, and said: “Hen? fs a plain, candid statement of the party’s’posi tion. There is no quibbling, mo evasion, no ambiguity. A private monopoly is indefensible and lntolera ble. It is bad —bad In principle, and bad in practice. No apology can be offered for it. and no people should endure It. Our party’s position is entirely in harmony with the position of Jefferson.’’

I’roeeeding he reviewed the remedies proposed by the Democrats, first a Jaw preventing a duplication of directors among competing corporations; second, a license system wtileh will, without abridging the rlghj of each state to create corporations or Its right to regulate ns It will foreign corporations doing business within Its limits, make It necessary for a manufacturing or trading corporation engaged in interstate commerce to take out a federal license before it shall be permitted to control as much as 25 per cent of the product in which it ideals, the license to protect the public from watered stock and :o prohibit the control by such corporation or more than 50 per cent of the total amount of aqy product consumed in the Un'tol States ITe also mentioned the remedy of the removal of flic tariff from all im ports which compete with trust-made goods, and argued at length in favor of these remedies. Then he said: I.et the ;ssue he made plain; let the dlstlmbion lie accurately drawn: let the respeetive positions of tli«- parties he fully understood. The Democratic party do>s not oppose all corporations: on the contrary. It recognizes that the corporation -an render an important service to the public. The Democratic party wants to employ every ihstru mentality that can he employed for the advancement of the common good, but the Democratic party draws Die line at the private monopoly’ and de elares that a private monopoly cannot be justified on either economic or political grounds.

Industrial independence is necessary to political independence. The free exercise of the lights of citizenship is impossible when a few' men control the industries in which millions are employed (rod forbid that we should compel the w age earners of the nation to address, their petitions to trust rh a "nates and ask for their daily bread. Already we have seen how prone the monopolist is to make employment depend upon the willingness of the employe to prostitute his Iwllot to the service of Ills con torn te master. As the Nebraska orator sat down the Cheers which had punctuated his speech continually broke out in an ovation of applause that shook the roof and was not stopped until the throng was Imai-yc. A brief speech was also delivered between Bryan and Kern by Thomas R Marshall, Democratic candidate for governor.

The Girl Graduate.

Did you ever have a girl graduate from the high school out of your family? If so, you know what It Is, but If you have not you have missed about, all that Is worth anything in life. There Is nothing like It. The happiness, the satisfaction, the success that has come Is worth many times the money and effort put forth. What lathe finest product America'? Secretary Loch insists It is rabbits. Carnegie stands for libraries, Mrs. Hefty Green considers it ready money, while Secretary of Agriculture Wilson crows over the American hen. They are all wrong »It’s the girt graduate. As Daniel Webster remarked of Massachusetts: "Gentlemen. she needs no apology. There she standsT* For years father has poured put his money In buying hei frocks and laces and hats, in paying ;for her chemistry and music and chewing gum. Mother has spent years of her life In teaching her morality, truth, the catechism and the proper way to do up her hair. And they feel that she’s worth all the trouble and cat* ,and money she has cost.—Lawrence JouraAl

Saved by a Glove Button.

At one of the Monson slate quarries a derrick man stood on the brink of one of the great chasms from which the slate rock Is hoisted. His doty was to catch hold of the big hook depending from the end of the boom as It swung over the bank, and attach it to the crate to be sent back iuto the pit. Standing upon the very edge, he reached out to catch the hook which dangled near him. fit was winter, aud he wore thick buckskin gloves. The hook slipped from him as he leaned but, but caught Into the fastening of the glove. The swing of the great boom took hith off his feet In an instant and carried him out Into giddy space, with his .life' depending on the glove holding fast His whole weight was hung oif - button, and there was a clear lit feet of space between him and the floor of the rock below. The moments that passed before tae boom could be swung back over the

bank seemed like hours to him, but he got there at last safe and sound.—London Mall.
