13. At 8:20 p. m. yesterday Senator Jones lifted his hand to nail the meeting to order at Madison Square garden to formally notify William J. Bryan, of Nebraska, ftnd Arthur J.

Sewall, of Maine, of their nomination by the democratic party for the Offices of president and vice president of the United States. The senator then introduced Mr. Danforth a3 chairman, who made a brief speech, after which Gov. Stone, of Missouri, was intro New York will soon hare the tallest ofllco building in the world.

They must rest their opposition upon one ground only, namely, that tho supply of silver availa tain foreign nations can be obtained. Those who represent the minority sentiment in the Chicago convention opposed the frej coinage of silver by the United States by independent action on tho ground that in their judgment it 'would retard or entirely esfcafi ble for coinage is too large to be utilised by which commonly appears in the foreign dispatches as 'leze ma jestatis," and in full should be "crimen laesae maj- estatis," have" brought prominently to the attention of the modern reading-public this once dreaded 1 eal means which an absolute monarch was formerly able to tiee in order to accomplish almost any wrong" that occurred to him as desirable. Of all severe laws in an age when all laws were severe this was the most feared, for it was capable of so many different applications and explanations that it could be made to fit almost any case that arose and was used as a formidable means of oppression when tho monarch desired to gain the property or take trie life of a subject who had grown too rich or become too powerful to suit the ideas of royalty.

Translated, the words mean simply "injured majesty," but when kings were absolute majesty was so easily injured and there were bo many ways by which the injury could be effected that no one could be sure that in an entirely innocent action he might not violate the majesty of the king- and thus incur the severest punishment known to the law. Arson, robbery, murder, assassination were trifles in the eyes of a sovereign who regarded his majesty as his most sacred possession, and while these were punished by death, simple hanging-, beheading- or other form of speedy execution was altogether too good for the man guiltyof violation of majesty, and the' ingenuity of executioners was taxed to provide lengthy and exquisitely painful tortures for the criminal who was adjudged guilty of this offense.

It is true that a few of your financiers would fashion a new figure a figure representing Columbia, her hands bound fast with fetters of gold and her face turned toward the east, appealing for assistanca to those who live beyond the sea, but this figure can never express your idea of this nation. You will rather turn for the inspiration to the heroic statue which guards the entrance to your city a statue as patriotic in conceptions as it is colossal in proportions; it was the gracious gift of a sister republic, and stands upon a pedestal which was built by the American people. That figure Liberty Enlightening the World Is emblematic of the mission of our nation among the nations of the earth. A government which derives Its powers from the consent of the governed secures to all the people freedom of conscience, freedom of thought and freedom of speech, guarantees equal rights to all and promises special privileges to none.

The United States should be an example 'in all that is good and the leading spirit in every movement which has for its object the uplifting of the human race. The delivery of Mr. Bryan's speech consumed, nearly two hours and its finish was greeted with hearty applause. The vice presidential nominee, Arthur Sewall, was next introduced, and Gov. StoDe presented him with the formal nomination document.

Mr. Sewall made a short speech, saying- among" other things: We believe that we need and must have the broad and expanding foundation of both gold and silver to support a monetary system strong and stable, capable of meeting the demands of a growing country and an industrious, energetic and enterprising people: a system that will, not be weakened and panic-stricken by every foreign draft upon us; a system that will maintain a unity of just values and the nation's money and protect us from the frequent fluctuations of to-day, so disastrous to every business and industry of the land.

They understand the genuis of our in-st'tutions: tlvsy are at lunch supporters of tho form of government under which we live, and buill their faith upon the foundations laid by the fathers. We believe, as asserted in tho Declaration of Independence, that all men are created equal: but that does not mean that all men are or can bo equal in possessions, in ability or In merit: it limply means that all shall stand equal before law, and that government officials shall lot, in making, construing or enforcing the law, discriminate between citizens. I assert that property fights, as well as the rights of persons, aro safe in the hands of the common people. Abraham Lincoln, in his message sent to congress in December, 1861, said: "No men living are more worthy to be trusted than those who toil up from poverty, aone less inclined to or touch aught which, they have not honestly earned."

Stephen II. Emmons, the chemist whose explosive "eminensite" was tuppjsing that we have reached the end of the evil results of a gold standard: we have not reached the end. The injury is a continuing one, and no person can say how the world is to suffer from the attempt to make gold the only standard money. The same influences which are now operating to destroy silver in the United States will, if successful hero, be turned against other silver using countries, and each new convert to the gold standard will add to the general distress. So long as the scramblo for gold continues, prices must fall, and a general fall in prices Is but another definition of hard times.

Gold Standard Ruinous to Traders. Our opponents have made a special appeal to those who hold fire and life Insurance policies, but these same policy holders know that, since the total premiums received exceed the total losses paid, a rising standard must be of more benefit to the company than to the policy holders. Much solicitude has been expressed by our opponents for the depositors of savings banks. They constantly parade before these depositors the advantages of a gold standard, but these appeals will be in vain, because savings banks depositors know that under a gold standard there is increasing danger that they will lose their deposits because of the Inability of the banks to collect their assets: and they still further know that if the gold standard is to continue indefinitely, they may be compelled to withdraw their deposits in order to pay living expenses. It is only necessary to note the increasing number of failures in order to know that a gold standard is ruinous to merchants and manufacturers.

These business men don't make their profits from the people from whom they borrow money, but from the people to whom they sell their good. If the people cannot buy, retailers cannot sell, and if retailers cannot sell, wholesale merchants and manufacturers must go into bankruptcy. Free Coinage No New Experiment. As against the maintainance of a gold standard, either permanently or until other nations can be united for its overthrow, the Chicago platform presents a clear and emphatic demand for the immediate restoration of the free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at tho present legal ratio of sixteen to one without waiting for tho aid or consent of ant other nation. We are not asking that a new experiment be tried; we are insisting upon a return to a financial policy approved by the experience of history and supported by all the prominent statesmen of our nation from the day3 of the first president down to When we ask that our mints be opened to the fres and unlimited coinage of silver into full legal tender money, we are simply asking that the same mint privileges be accorded to silver that are now accordel to gold.

When we ask that this coinage be at the ratio of sixteen to one, we simply ask that our gold coins and the standard silver dollar which, be it remembered, contains the same amount of pure silver as the first silver dollar coined at our mints, retain their present weight and fineness.
