Special to the Evening Review. .
DENVER, Colo., July 10 Several
hours of stirring oratory and un
paralleled demonstrations culminat
ed In the national democratic con
vention at 3:45 o'clock this morn
ing, when William Jennings Bryan,
was nominated for president on the
first ballot. The vote was:
V. J. Bryan. 892 4.
George Gray, of Delaware. 59-4.
John S. Johnson, of Minnesota. 4'"'
Not voting. 8.
Bryan was placed In nomination
by Ignatius J. Dunn, city attorney
O of Omaha. Nebraska. His eloquent
eulogy of the great commoner evok
ed a might roar of approval. Pan
demonium reigned when a great oil
-tainting of Bryan was unveiled on
the platform. Mimunaneousiy b
white dove was released, and thf
bird sailed out over the heads of the
Tast throng.
Bryan's Domination was seconded
NOMINATED
ON FIRST
by several democratic orators, first
of whom was ex-Senator John M.
Clear. n, of Oregon, who took occa
sion at tho same time to advocate
a stringent exclusion law. Hon
Levin Irving Handy, former con
gressman from I ehi ware, presented
the name of George limy. (iuver
nor Johnson's name was placed be
fore the convention by Representa
tive V. S. Hammond of Minnesota
This was preeteed with tremendous
cheering. The Gray supporters ac-
jknowledged that they were going uy.
against a sure thing, but declared
they would stand by their man until
ihe last vote was taken.
V h en t h e resu It of the fl rs t ha 1
lot was announced, Hammond moved
that Hryan's nomination be made
unanimous. P. P. Kord seconded on
behalf of the Gray forces. When
the motion was put it vas received
with one mighty "aye. A solitary
"no" was voiced bv J. M. O'Connor, ,
of Utica, N. Y.
Several planks of ihe platform
were cheered as they were read tc
'he convention. Among them were
those bearing on anti-injunction,
government guarantee of bank de
posits, and anti-trust legislation. A
feature of the convention was the ;
demonstration for Bryan at the close !
f Dunn '3 nominating speech. The ,
tumult lasted one hour and twelve
in mutes. After Hryan's nomination
was announced, the delegates again
yelled themselves hoarse and then
died out of the auditorium, tired
.ind sleepy, to reconvene at I v'clock
his afternoon.
Lemon fur GnlVey.
The needed majority for Bryan
was cast by the Pennsylvania dele
gation, which was orginially headed
by Guffey, one of Hryan's most active
jpponents and whose alleged alli
ance with Standard Oil interests
auscd him to be ousted by the ere
lentials committee after a warm and
bitter Unlit. When the roll call was
aken the first delay came in a de
.nand for the poll of the New York
lelegation, which forced Murphy tc
ote personally for Bryan. Judge
barker went to bed early, and his
,'ote was not rceorded.
Senator DuBois. of Idaho, failed to
;et an anti-polygamy plank in (he
:ilatform. lie blames Hryan for it.

Two unparalleled demonstrations
narked the proceedings of this con
tention. On Wednesday, when Hry
:in was mentioned by Senator Gore,
n his speech, the cheering and
marching around the hall lasted for
:in hour and 27 minutes. On Thurs
lay night a similar pandemonium of
Mithusiasni occurred at the close of
he speech of I. J. Dunn, placing Mr.
Hryan in nomination. This lasted
for an hour and 12 minutes. Nc
former convention demonstration of
my party ever last more than about

under discussion.
Building up Hm vtiucrut y.
Coincident with the enormous in
rease In the expenditures is a like
addition to a number of office-holders.
During the past year 2;t,784
wero added, costing $ 1 0. 1 iiti.UOO,

number of new offices created asidd

We denounce this growing in

we pledge ourselves to adopt such

House of Representatives as to en

Misuse of 'Pntroiuijte.
We condemn, a a violation of tlit
spirit of our institutions, the uctloii
of the present Chief Kxecutive In us
ing, the patroiiagt' of his high otllct
to secure the nomination of one of
his Cabinet officers, A forced suc

less repugnant to public sentiment

gat4l. Puldicit yof I'ampiiign ('ontrlbutiotiH
We demand Federal legislation
forever terminating the partnership
which has existed between corpora
tions of tho country and the repub- j
Mean party under the expressed oi
implied agreement that in return foi
the contribution of great sums of
money wherewith to purchase elec
tions, they should be allowed to con
tinue substantially unmolested In
their efforts to encroach upon the
rights of the people.
Any reasonable doubt as to the
existence of this relation has been
forever dispelled by the sworn testi
mony of witnesses examined In the
insurance investigation In New York
and the open admission, unchalleng
ed by the republican national .com
mittee, of a single individual that he
himself at the personal request ol
the republican candidate for the
presidency raised over a quarter of
a million dollars to he used In a
single state during the closing hours
of the last campaign.
In order that this practice shall
be stopped for all time, we demand
the passage of a statute punishing
with imprisonment only, ottlcers ol
corporations who shall either cou-
tribute on behalf of or consent to
the contribution by a corporation of
tiny money or thing of value to be
used 111 furthering the election of a
president or vice-president of the
rutted States, or of any member of
the congress thereof.
We pledge the democratic party tc
a law preventing any corporation
from contributing to a campaign
fund and any Individual from con
tributing an amount above a reason
able minimum and providing for the
publication before election of' all
such contributions.
Revision of Turin".
We welcome the belated promise
of tariff reform now offered by the
republican party In tardy recognition
of tiie rightcosuuess of the demo
cratic position on this question ;
but the people cannot safely en
trust the execution of this Import
ant work to a party which Is so deep
ly obligated to the highly protected
interests as is the republican party
We call attention to the significant
, fact that the promised relief was
postponed until after the coming
election an election to succeed in
which the republican party must
have that same support of the bene
tlclarles of the high protective tariff
as it has always heretofore received
from them; and to the further fact
that during years of uninterrupted
power no action whatever has been
taken by the republican congress to
correct the admittedly existing tarlfl
Iniquities.
We favor Immediate revision of
the tariff by the reduction of import
duties. Articles entering Into com
petition with trust-control led pro
ducts should be placed on the Tree
list. Material red net Ions should be
made In the tariff upon the necessa
ries of life, especially upon ortblej
competinn with such American man
ufactures as are sold abroad morr
cheaply than at home; and gradual!
reduction unoulri b nad? In su.

We favor a. Kstal saving bank, if
the sun ran teed bunk cannot be se
cured; and that it be constituted sc
as to keep the deposited money in the
communities where It is established
But we condemn the policy of the
republican party in providing postal
savings banks under a plan of con-
duct by which they will aggregate
the deposits of rural communities
and re-deposit the same, while undet
government charge. In the banks of
Wall street, thus depleting the cir
culating medium of the producing
regions and unjustly favoring the
speculative markets.
Against Ship Subsidies.
We bellevo In the upbuilding of
American merchant murine without
new or additional burdens upon the
people, and without bounties from
the public treasury.
Railroad Rate Regulation,
We assert the rights of courts to
exercise complete control over In
terstate commerce and tho right ol
each state to exorcise control over
commerce within Its borders. We
demand such enlargement of the In
terstate Commerce Commission as
may be necessary to compel railroads
to perform their duties as common
carriers and prevent discrimination
and extortion.
We favor the efficient supervision
and the regulation of railroads en
gaged iu Interstate commerce. To
this end we recommend the valua
Hon of railroads by the interstate
commerce commission, such valua
tion to take into consideration phy
sical value of tho property, the or
iginal cost of reproducton and all
elements of value that will render
the valuation made fair and just,
We favor Buch legislation as will
prohibit the railroads from engaging
in business which brings them Into
competition with their shippers; alsc
legislation which will assure such re
ductlon in transportation rates m
such conditions will permit, care be
ing taken to avoid reduction that
would compel a reduction of wages
prevent adequate service or do In
justice to legitimate investments. We
heartily approve the laws prohibiting
the pass and the rebate and we favoi
any further necessary legislation to
restrain, correct and prevent such
abuses.
Increased Powers for Commission.
Wo favor such legislation as will
increase the power of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, giving to it
the initiative with reference to rales
and transportation charges put into
eixect by the railroad companies, ana
pur mitt) u g the interstate commerce
commission, on Its own Initiative, to
declare a rate Illegal, as being more
than should be charged for such ser
vice. That the present law relating
thereto is inadequate, by reason of
the fact that the interstate commerce
commission Is without power to 11
or Investigate a rate until complaint
has been made to It by the shippers,
wo hold to be evident
We further declare that all agree
ineiits of Ira flic or other associations
of railroads agents relating to In
twrstate rates, service or classifica
tion, shall be unlawful unless filed
with and approved by the Inlerstatt
commerce commission the power tc
Inspect proposed railroad tariff rat1
or schedules before they shall take
effect, and if they be found to be un
reasonable to Initiate an adjustment
thereof.
Abuse of Injunctions.
The courts of Justice are the but
wark of our liberties, and we yield
to none In our purpose to maintain
their dignity. Our party has giv
to the bench a long line of disttn
finished Judges who have added res
pect and confidence. In which IhU
department must be Jealously main
tallied. We resent the attempt of
the republican parly to raise a fals
Issue respecting th judiciary. It
an unJiiHt reflection un tba rat
body of our citizens to assume that
they lack respect for the courts
It Is the functon of the courts to
lu'-'-pret laws which the people
ate, and if the laws app'-ar tc

Fur Conquest of Holy Land.
ALANT1C CITY, N. J July 10.
To formulate plans for a peaceful
conquest of the Holy Land, and the
restoration of the chosen people to
the country now held by the usurp
ing hosts of Mohammed, Is the ob
ject" t of tho eleventh inmual conven
tion of the Federation of American
Ziotisls, opened today for a session
of six days.
Some of the most prominent He
brew scholars and men of affairs in
America are here and will address
the delegates, who represent about
400 societies hi different cities of the
United States and Canada.
Aside from consideration of the
future, when tho dream of the res
toration of Palestine to the Jewish
people shall come true, the conven
tion will pay much attention to the
practical work of Jewish coloniza
tion In Palestine which Is now being
carried on. The political phase of
the International movement, In iu
relation to negotiations with the
Turkish government, will also be ful
ly discussed. Officers for the coining
year will be elected.
It Is estimated that tho numbor of
Jews In the United States Is about
1,800,000, and the total ror the
world about 12.000,000. Of all the
nations of earth, Russia leads in
Jewish population, with about 3,
r.oo.oiio, and It Is in the lnnd of the
czar that the Zionist movement has
gained Us greatest strength. Cen
turies of persecution have caused the
Itusslau Jew to look upon Palestine
with a depth of longing unknown in
other lauds, and despite extreme pov
erty, to contribute liberally to the
Zionist fund. Measures for the re
lief., of their brethren In Russia will
be considered at the present conven
ient and those who have attained
wualth in this country will be asked
to contribute liberally to the coloni
zation fund.
