that my election must come, If 1t
comes at all, from the unpurchased
and unpurchaseable suffrages af the
American people, I promise, If en
truBted with the responsibility of this
high office, to consecrate whatever
ability 1 may have to the one purpose
of making this, In fact, a government
In which the people rule, a govern
ment which will do justice to all, and
offer to everyone the highest possi
ble stimulus to great and persistent
effort, by assuring to. each the enjoy
ment of Mb just share of the proceeds
of his toll, no nmtter In -what part of
the vineyard he labors, or to what oc
cupation, profession or calling he de
votes himself."
Thus spoke Wm. J. Drynn this af
ternoon in accepting the nomination
is cand date of the Democratic par
v for the presidency of the I'ntted
'tfles. Amid cheers anrl the waving
if flags Mr. Hrynn was escorted from
'he Lincoln hotel through the
Ureets of Lincoln to the capitol
(rounds, where the formal notifica
tion took place. In the carriage with
him was John W. Kern, of Indian
apolis, Indiana, candidate for the
vice presidency.
The capitol grounds were packed
with humanity, and as the candidate,

espcr ally Ills declaration:
"Von have always refused to com

I'M- functions of government for ill"
lusts of erecd. It w;is voir lofiv
statemansbip, your unswerving r i ! -1 -it
v, your Jcffersonian sliind'ird of
lieinocracy, that Induced the repre
sentatives of millions of Aincrlcm
freemen to unanimously choose you
as their candidate for tile hlgbest of
flce in ths world."
The letter of notification, signed
by members of the notification com
mittee, was no less vigorous than
Clayton's speech.- Bryan received It
with full appreciation of the import
ance of Its meaning.
With pleased counteniinee Hrynn
surveyed the vast audience and tiien
hoi-iiii his remarks, the applause con
tinuing at intervals throughout his

I'll.KS MOTION IX)U Nl-AV TltlAL
Chicago, Aug. 12. Mrs. Alice L.
Webb, divorced wife of llrodie L.
Duke, the millionaire tobacco man
ufacturer, was today found guilty of
defrauding the limit Northern hotel
by passing worthless checks.
A motion for a new trial was made
and will be argued inter. Mrs. Webb
confidently expected iiciiuUtal and at
the word "guilty" the woman who a
few years ago was mistress of mil
lions, flushed and trembled, but on
ly momentarily. She was apparently
composed while her lawyer made the
motion ror a new trial.
Mrs. Webb was later released on
$10011 bonds.
Cluiliinan Clayton's Speech.
Mr. Clayton said:
"Mr. Hrynn: The National Demo
cratic convention that assembled at
Denver on July 7 was truly a repre
sentative body of the people of the
United States. Harmony character
ized Its deliberations and all, Its con
clusions were reached with unanim
ity. It stood for the conservatism
of government under a written con
stitution and for the application of
Democratic principles in public af
fairs to meet the requirements of
progressive American civilization.
"Without the Intervention of a
completed ballot you were nominat
ed for the office of president of the
United States. A committee, com
posed of the permnnent chairman and
one delegate from each state and ter
ritory, was appointed to Inform you
of your selection as the standard
bearer of your party In the pending
campaign. Therefore, in pursuance
of the convention, this committee
here present now brings to you this
message from a united and aggres
sive democracy. Our great party Is
confident of the righteousness of lis
cause, and relying upon the support
of Iho people. Is determined to res
cue the government of the republic
from the hands of the despollers who
have exploited It Tor tile benefit ol
favorites and to the Injury of the
masses of plain people.
"We know that our party, platform
and candidate stand for the best In
terests of the people. We know that
success Is deserved. We believe that
our party and candidate, animated by
the wisest and most patriotic pur
poses, will achieve victory in Novem
ber. On no political Issue Is the plat
form a straddle or evasion, and Its
every declaration squares with the
principles of old-fashioned Democra
cy. It Is essentially a Democratic In
strument, preserving and upplying
the faith of the fatheiB to existing
conditions.
"it Is hardly worth whlie to say,
sir, that In the Judgment of your par
ty associates, and our countrymen
generally, you, as our candidate, fit
our platform. And it is equally grat
ifying that there Is nothing In the
plat form calling for an apology.
Tlure Is nothing that you would
avoid or run away from. There is
nothing omitted that you need sup
ply In giving your Individual views.
In these respects you have tremen
dous advantage over your Itepubll
enn opponent. Standing on such a
platform, possessed of an abiding
conviction that our cans- Is Just, you
will draw the keen blade of right
eousness mid truth, throwing away
the scabbard, and J'lght for the prin
cipal of equal rights to all, special
privileges to none. Your parly ha'
emphatically refused to lorni any al
liance will special inter. Ms Ihi'l
enjov special privileges under Ki'pilO
licati administration. You liiive al
ways refused to compromise wlih
those who prostitute the functions ol
government for the lust of gr id. H
was vour lofty s!iitcsmnm.hip. your
unwavering fldility, your Jet lorson
ian standard of I'em icracv that In
duced the representatives of millions
uf American freemen unanimously to
choos" you as their candidate lor the
highest office ill t!;e world.
"It would be Iiiappr.prlalo fur me
In detain this splcMlid an lience that
lias mel lu re today to listen tu your
patriotic and eloquent word-;. There
