DEMOCRACY'S WAR CRY; BRYAN OUTLINES PLAN OF CAMPAIGN Candidates Are Officially No Notified - tified Notified of Their Nomination at Indianapolis. TRUSTS AND IMPERIALISM These Two Issues Brought Prominent Prominently - ly Prominently to the Front - Fundamental Prin Principles - ciples Principles of Our Government Are Being Undermined by Them - Republicans Severely Arraigned. Indianapolis, Aug. B. - William Jen Jennings - nings Jennings Bryan and Adlai E. Stevenson were officially notified here today of their nomination for president and trice president respectively by the national Democratic convention at Kansas City. When the sun rose this morning it shone out upon a clear sky, thus render rendering - ing rendering it quite certain that the program for conducting the exercises in the open air, as originally decided upon, could be car carried - ried carried into effect. The weather was hot, to bo sure, even at the early hour of sun sunrise, - rise, sunrise, and the heat increased proportion proportionately - ately proportionately as old Sol drove his chariot across the heavens, but this circumstance ap appeared - peared appeared to have no influence on the throng of Democrats, local and foreign, who had come out to hear their candi candidates - dates candidates for the presidency and the vice presidency formally notified of their se selection - lection selection to be the standardbearers of the party and to see them started in the race for the high goals at the farther end of the course. To be sure the people per perspired, - spired, perspired, but all accepted the occasion for this physical phenomena as one of the inevitable consequences of the season and nothing more. There was, there therefore, - fore, therefore, no undue ill humor at the hot weather. Both Mr. Bryan and Mr. Stevenson arose early and both expressed them themselves - selves themselves as greatly refreshed by the night's sleep. "We are quite prepared for the ordeal of the day, if it may be called such," said Mr. Stevenson, "and it looks as if all would transpire most auspiciously." Both of them received a number of callers during the forenoon. The exercises of the day were inaugu inaugurated - rated inaugurated by a monster parade to the mili military - tary military park. Senator Jones Presides. Senator James K. Jones, chairman of the Democratic national committee, pre presided - sided presided at the exercises. Mayor Taggart called the meeting to order, made a short speech welcoming the visitors to the city and then turned the meeting over to Chairman Jones: Congressman Richardson of Tennessee made the speech notifying Mr. Bryan and Governor Thomas of Colorado made the speech notifying Stevenson, to which the candidates replied. Mr. Bryan spoke in part as follows: "When I say that the contest of 1900 is a contest between Democracy on the one hand and plutocracy on the other, I do not mean to say that all our op opponents - ponents opponents have deliberately chosen to give to organized wealth a predominating in influence - fluence influence in the affairs of the government, but I do assert that on the important is issues - sues issues of the day the Republican party is dominated by those influences which constantly tend to elevate pecuniary considerations and ignore human rights. President Lincoln's Maxim. "In 1859 Lincoln said that the Repub Republican - lican Republican party believed in the man and the dollar, but that in case of conflict it be believed - lieved believed in the man before the dollar. This is the proper relation which should exist between the two. Man, the handiwork of God, comes first; money, the handi handiwork - work handiwork of man, is of inferior importance. Man is the master, money the servant, but upon all important questions today Republican legislation tends to make money the master and man the servant. "The maxim! of Jefferson, 'equal rights to all ana special privileges to none, ' and the doctrine of Lincoln that this should be a government 'of the people, by the people and for the peo people, - ple, people, ' are being disregarded and the in instrumentalities - strumentalities instrumentalities of government are being used to advance the interests of those who are in a position to secure favors from the government. "The Democratic party is not making war upon the honest acquisition of wealth; it has no desire to discourage industry, economy and thrift. Ou the contrary, it gives to every citizen the greatest possible stimulus to honest toil, when it promises him protection in the enjoyment of the proceeds of his labor. Property rights are most secure when human rights are respected. Democracy strives for a civilization in which every member of society will share according to his merits. Republican Chaugejjf Front. - "Republicans who used to advocate bimetallism, now try to convince them themselves - selves themselves that the gold standard is good; Republicans who were formerly attached to the greenback are now seeking an ex excuse - cuse excuse for giving national banks control of the nation's paper money; Republi Republicans - cans Republicans who used to boast that the Repub Republican - lican Republican party was paying off the national debts are now looking for reasons to sup support - port support a perpetual and increasing debt; Republicans who formerly abhorred a trust, now beguile themselves with the delusion that there are good trusts and bad trusts, while, in their minds, the line between the two is becoming more and more obscure; Republicans who in times past congratulated the country upon the small expense of our standing army, are now making light of the ob objections - jections objections which are urged against a large increase in the permanent military estab establishment; - lishment; establishment; Republicans who gloried in our independence when the nation was less powerful, now look with favor upon W foreign alliance; Republicans who ihree years ago condemned a 'forceable annexation' as immoral and even crimi criminal, - nal, criminal, are now sure that it is both moral and crimnal to oppose forcable annexa annexation. - tion. annexation. That partisanship has already blinded many'to present dangers is cer certain - tain certain ; how large a portion of the Repub Republican - lican Republican party can be drawn over to the new politics remains to be seen. "In attempting to press economic questions upon the country to the exclu exclusion - sion exclusion of those which involved the very structure of our government, the Repub Republican - lican Republican leaders give new evidence of their abandonment of the earlier ideals ot the party and of their complete subserviency to pecuniary considerations. Cannot Dodge the Issues. "But they shall not bo permitted to evade the stupendous and farreaching

issue wmen tney deliberately brought into the arena of politics. When the president, supported by a practically unanimous vote of the house and sei> ate, entered upon a war with Spain for the purpose of aiding the struggling pa patriots - triots patriots of Cuba the country, without re regard - gard regard to party, applauded. When the war was over and the Republican lead leaders - ers leaders began to suggest the propriety of a colonial policy opposition at once mani manifested - fested manifested itself. "When our opponents are unable to defend their position by argument they fall back upon the assertion that it is destiny and insist that we must submit to it, no matter how much it violates moral precepts and our principles of government. This is a complacent phi philosophy. - losophy. philosophy. It obliterates the distinction between right and wrong and makes in individuals - dividuals individuals and nations the helpless vic victims - tims victims of circumstances. "Destiny is the subterfuge of the in invertebrate, - vertebrate, invertebrate, who, lacking the courage to oppose error, seeks some plausible ex excuse - cuse excuse for supporting it. Washington said that the destiny of the Republican form of government was deeply, if not filially, staked on the experiment en entrusted - trusted entrusted to the American people. How different Washington's definition of des destiny - tiny destiny from the Republican definition. The Republicans say that this nation is in the hands of destiny. Washington believed that not only the destiny of our nation, but the destiny of the Republi Republican - can Republican form of government throughout the world was entrusted to American hands. Washington was right. The destiny of this republic is in the hands of its own people." MR. TOWNE HAS WITHDRAWN He Writes a Letter of Declination to the Notification Committee. Duluth, Aug. 8. - Hon.

Other Democratic leaders expressed themselves in similar strains. TEXAS DEMOCRATS MEET. Thomas Makes Seensational Charges Against Officeholders.
