: ness the sound of the waves as thel bent
upon the lonely shores of St. Helena.
(Cheers.) Why this chance? Ah .my
friends it is evident to every one who
will look nt the matter. There is no
private character however mire or ncr-
sonnl popularity however groat that can
protect from the avenging wrath of an
indignant people a man who will neither
declare that he is in favor of foistinir the
gold standard upon this people or who
is willing to surrender the right of self-
government and place legislative control
in the hands of foreign potentates and
powers. (Lheers.)
"V go forth confident that we shall
win. V ny I lioeiuise upon the para
iuoii.ii ihhiiu in mis campaign tnere is
not a spot ot ground upon which the
enemy will dare to challenge battle.
ny ! it tney tell us the gld standard
is a good thing we point to their plat-
form and tell them that Their platform
pledges the pnrty to get rid of the gold
standard mid substitute bimetallism.
(Applause.) If the gold standard is a
good thing why try to get rid of it?
unugnter and continued minimise 1
"If the gold standard and i might call
your attention to the fact '.hat some of
the very people who are in this conven-
tion today nnd who tell y-ou that we
ought to declare m favor of international
bimetallism and thereby doe are the mild
standard wrong mid the principle of bi
metallism better these very people four
months ago were open and avowed ad-
vocates of the gold standard nnd telling
us that we could not legislate two
metals together even with all the
world. Uteuewed applause and cheers.)
1 want to suggest this truth: If the
gold standard is a good thing we ought to
declare in favor of its retention not in
favor ot abandoning it: and if the cold
standard is'a bad thing why should we
wait until some other nations are willing
to help us to let go? (Applause.) Here
is a line of battle. Wo care not upon
wincu issue tney torce the light. We
lire prepared to meet them on either issue
one or both.
"If they tell us the gold standard is
the standard of civilization we reply
that this the most enlightened of ail
nations of the earth has never declared
for the gold standard and both parties
this year are declaring against it. (Ap-
piauso.j

us on that we can present the history of
our nation. More than that we can tell
them this that they will search the pages
of history in vain to find a single in-
stance in which the common people of
nny land ever declared themselves in
favor of n gold standard. (Applause.)
"Mr. Carlisle said in 1878 that this was
a struggle between the idle holders of
idle capital nnd the struggling masses
who produce wealth nnd pay the taxes
of the country and my friends it is n
simple question that we shall decide
Upon which side shall the Democratic
party fight? Upon the side of idle hold-
ers of idle capital or upon the side of
the struggling masses? That is the
question the party must answer first
: and then it must be answered by each in-
dividual herenfter. The sympathies of
the Democratic party ns described by the
platform are on the side of the strug-
. gling masses who have ever been the
foundation of the Democratic party. (Ap-
plause.) "There are two ideas of government.
' There nre those who believe that if you
just legislate to make the well-to-do pros-
perous their prosperity will leak through
on those below. The Democratic idea
has been that if you legislate to make
the masses prosperous their prosperity
will find its way up and through every
class nnd rest upon it. (Applnuse.)
"You come to us and tell us that the
great cities are in favor of -the gold
standard. I tell you great cities rest
upon those broad and fertile prairies.
Horn down your cities and leave our
farms anil your cities will spring up
ngaiu as if by magic: but destroy our
farms nnd grass will grow in the
streets of every city of this country.
(Loud applause.)
"My friends we shall declare this
nation able to legislate for its own peo-
ple on every question without waiting
for the aid or consent of any nation on
earth (applause) and upon that issue we
expect to carry every single state in the
Union. (Applause.)
"I shall not slniulcr the fair state of
Massachusetts nor the state of New York
by saying that when its citizens are con-
fronted with the proposition is this na-
tion able to attend to its own business?
I will not slander either one by saying
the people of these states will declare
our helpless impoteiicy ns a nation to nt-
tend to our own business. It gives us
the issue of 177(1 over again. Our an-
cestors when numbering only 1.000.000.
had the courage to declare their political
independence of every other nation on
earth; shall we. their descendants when
we have grown to 70(MM).(l()() declare we
nre less independent than our fore-
fathers? No my friends it will never
be the judgment of the people. There-
fore we care not on what lines the
battle is fought. If they say bimetal-
lism is good but we cannot have it 'ill
some nation helps us we reply that in-
stead of having the gold standard be
wmm.
Gladness Comes
With a better understanding" of the
transient nature of the many phys-
ical ills which vanish before proper ef-
forts gentle efforts pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis-
ease but simply to a constipated condi-
tion of the system which the pleasant
family laxative Syrup of Figs prompt-
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important in order to get its bene
ficlal effects to note when you pui
chase that you have the genuine arti-
cle which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment cf good health
and the system is regular laxatives ot
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians but if in need of a laxative
one should have the best and with the
well-informed everywhere Syrup c
Figs stands highest and is most larjrjlj
used andgives most general satisfaction.
cause England hns we shnll restore bi-
metnllisni and then let other nations have
bimetallism because the United States
has it. (Annlause.i If thev dare to
come out and openly detend the gold
standard as a good thing we shall light
them to the uttermost.
"You shnll not crucify mankind upon
a cross of gold." (Great applause.)
The conclusion of Mr. Bryan's speech
wus . marked by the most enthusiastic
demonstration of the convention up to
that time. The whole convention sprung
to im. tret mid :JO000 throats roared
while twice twenty thousand arms

night so the people began to pour out
hut ns nominating speeches rarely

Lean lost nothing.
Mr. Patrick spoke as follows:
"Mr. President Considering your ar-
duous duties for the last throe days and
the grout patience with Which you hnve

ferent candidates it seems to me that

In the triumph of the cnuse will you

A new chairman began to wield tho
gnvel nt this point Congressman Bank-
head of Alabama one of the smoothly
shaven southern men who furnish a
prevalent typo to this convention.
Pennsylvania being called. Air. Ilarritv.
chairman of the national committee and
of the delegation stilted that she hnd no
nomination to innke nt this time but thnt
when the roll of states was called the
delegates would express their preference.
BAILEY'S VICTORY AIRED.
Texas sent to the platform Hon. Josenh
Bailey one of the youngest members of
congress and a conspicuous figure in the
convention not only because of his per-
sonality but because of his victory over
the old state liaders in the delegation's
recent caucus. Another southern states
manlike type was Builey wearing a black
frock coat waistcoat cut to show a broad
expanse of shirt bosom and a smooth
rotund in oo with hlaek hair falling to
his shoulders. His speech was a trib
ute to Bin nil.
BAILEY SPEAKS EOR BLAND.
Mr. Bailey said:

majority of those who vote in the com-

convictions upon n great economic ques
tion. .1 his convention hns .'ilrendv
ndopted n platform which defines with
admirable force and clearness tho
position of tho Democratic party
upon that question and it is our
duty now to perfect our work
by nominating a man whose words
and deeds nre better thnn n written
pledge that he will faithfully keep the
promises which our platform makes
who most completely fills this supreme
renuiremeiit. If I should nsk this au
dience or if I should nsk nny audience
assembled on the American continent
and under the American flag what
Democrat among the many splendid lead
ers of our pnrty Is'st represents the issue
which todtiy divides the American people
nnd which must be decided nt the polls
next November I would be answered
with the name of Richard Bland.
"And. gentlemen of the convention he
not only liest typifies the issues of the
next election but he is a fearless nnd
consistent advocate of all those immortal
principles our fathers founded nnd cher-
shed. J hose who doubt the wisdom of
his nomination sometimes venture to ex-
press the fear that he is not creut
enough t be our president. To them I
sny examine his record lor twenty-
two yenrs he sat in the federal house
of representatives and during all these
yenrs he voted right ns often and he
voted wrong us seldom ns any mini who
ever occupied a similar station for nn
qunl length of time. No ordinary man
an safely pass this crucial test and the
utelligent voters of this land nre willinir
to believe any mnn who is wise enough
always to lie right is wise enough to lie
the chief magistrate of this republic.
But better even than his unerring com-
mon souse is his rugged nnd unyielding
honesty. In his person he unites the
highest qualities of an idenl candidate.
He is so patriotic that he has alwn.vs
put the love of country nbove the love
of self; he is so honest thnt no tninted
dollar ever touched his hands and he is
so firm thnt a legion of his country's ene-
mies could not drive him from his pluce
of duty.
J'he nomination of Mr. Bland will
proclaim to the millions who nre nroud
to own their allegiance to Democracy
thnt the public good is ngnin to be exult

"But fellow Democrats whether your
choice shall be Bland or Boies Mat-
thews McLean or Kentucky's gifted son
the imperial commonwealth of Texas
with her more than 100000 majority will
take her place at head of your victorious
columns.
Utah supplied John It. Rawlins her
former delegate in congress who did
much to secure her statehood to second
the nomination of Bland.
Congressman Jones nt the onll of
Virginin climbed to a chair to say that
the delegation had decided to cast its
vote for John W. Daniel but at his
earnest request refrained from doiug so

Yet nnother chubby round-fneed gen-
tleman J. W. St. Clnir of West Vir-

Virginia did not love all the cnudidaf.es
he said but thnt she loved Joe Black-
burn best "because be wns the mnn who
sounded the tocsin of the struggle for
silver and won out in Kentucky Carlisle
and Cleveland notwithstanding."
10. J. Dockery of Wisconsin wns Intro-
duced nnd seconded the nomination of
Brynn. He said thnt Wisconsin ..would
in November enst her votes for the
nominee of the convention nnd with en-
thusiasm lie seconded the nomination
of Willium J. Brynn the idol of this
convention.
Strife cropped out In Wisconsin's
I nrnji for Gen. Brngg the mini who gave

many delegates were howling nt him.
His words could not he distinguished
plainly but they were something about
"another candidate on nnother plat-
form." The roll ciill of states was finished nt
12 :'!(. Then Senator Jones of Arkan-
sas moved nn adjournment until 10
o'clock tomorrow morning.
The Brynn adherents were not anxious
to hnve the balloting postponed. There
were cries for a vote but the chairman
put the question and after spectators ns
well ns delegates hnd yelled "yes" and
"no" declared the convention adjourned.
A BIG BRYAN BOOM.
Delegates DoKcrting Everylsidy for
Bryan Nomination Very Probable.

formally placed In nomination George
Fred Williams of Massachusetts will

cast
for Bryan. After his speech Mr. Bryan
held a levee at his place on the conven-
tion floor delegates from all parts of
the country offering their congratula-
tions on his great oratorical effort.
Among his callers were uienilsrs of the
notification committee from the several
stutes wlio in advance of his possible
nomination formally notified him of that
event.
The Bryan wave has suddenly swept
over the convention nnd it is the belief
of some of the lenders thnt it murks the
beginning of n possible- spontaneous
movement which may lead to the. nomi-
national of the Nebraska man. The
Georgia delegation hns decided to cast
her twenty-six votes for Bryan. A hasty
cnnvnss of the Ijouisintia delegation
shows fifteen for Bryan one against
but under the unit rule the sixteen
Louisiana votes will go to Brynn.
C. S. Thomas chairman of the Colora-
do delegation says thnt if the vote were
to be tuken tonight Brynn would be nom-
inated. The Iowa contingent lire standing by
Boies but n movement is on foot . to
swing the Boies strength to Brynn.
Florida will give Bryan twelve votes.
Arizona will stnnd by Bland but in cns
of a brenk will go to Brynn.
It was rumored thnt eighteen memberi
of the Ohio delegation had united in an
appeal to Mr. John It. McLean to with
druw bis nnme nnd allow them to voh!
for Bryan. This was denied nt the Ohi
delegation.
North Carolina will probably enst hit
solid vote for Brynn nnd North Dakota
is very much inclined to favor him
though the sentiment in tho latter state
is divided between him and Boies. Ken-
tucky announces through Chairman
James thnt she will stnnd by Blackburn
to the hist. The movement is toward
Brynn for first place and Sibley of Penn-
sylvania for second. The other candi-
dates are rallying their forces to pre-
vent a stnmpetle. Michigan will go to
Brynn if her vote" is reuuired. . so the
chairman of the delegation announced
mis ntternoon.
The plun for bringing Bryan forward
with a rush after his speech appears to
have been well laid and there is n nos-
sibility that it may lie executed so well
ns to cnuse a stampede for Governor
Cullierson snys thnt Texas stnnds firm
for Bland but in the event of another
Texas caucus he thinks Brynn would
commnnd a mnjority. Three of the1 Wy-
oming delegation are for Bryan but the
delegation may be swung for him. One
of the California delegates says that the
Hrynn movement may lend to i viiut the
