C September 17- Th e Bryan special: reached Concord at 10:S5 o'clock a, ?ti, and Mr. Bryan deliv ered a short speech from ttie covered stand to aboutl 1.000 people who were very hearty in their applause. This is what Mr. Bryam said:. ' . j "I met some of the Concord people this pioi Kiuf at Charlotte. I am glad to see the rest of you how.

Con Versions ar nnf rnaiiA bir public speak 'irg so much ai by one jieighrxr talk ing to another. People, say. they do not want 50-cent dollars, and appeal t the inherent sense if justice trjing. to show a siivtV dollar is a-50-cent dollar. They value -silver y-ike bullion which can not get to the mint arid' asuije will be wortn oniy ?J cents under tree eon .Cge. Under free coinage a new; demand is created. I cannot illustrate it bet Jer than fcis vay. At home we get put ter for 25 cents a pound the year round. The -farmer goes to town in the fall and ; contracts for all the butter he thinks he will produce! In the spring "he finds he has more and has to sell It. for 15 cents a pound because nobody stands ready to take his surplus at 25 cents. So with silver. If the mints are opened so that every man with an ounce of silver can convert it into money there would be no surplus to drag down the price. Can the United States take all the silver offered? If so, we can maintain the parity. The only way to know absolutely is to try, but we are encouraged to try. Remember the sil ver of France, England and Germany-r nearly all coined in the world. Is wcrth more; now as -compared with gold than it would be- here. France has more sil ver in circulation per capita than we have; and it circulates at 154 to 1. Not an ounce has come here without ris--ing 3 cents. The silver of England is worth more at home, and it would hurt England more than us, because there are more people there that use silver than! ever see a piece of gold. China, Japan and India must have their sup ply, and we would -take only what is left. If we can take it all vre will fix the price'at $1.29 and we would raise the price of those things which come in competition with the. products' of other' countries, thereby restoring prosperity to the farmers, who could ttieit pur chase at the stores and make a demand for the product of factories. If yoti de stroy the ability 1 of the producers to sell the products of the factories you destroy the factories, no matter what they talk about opening the mills." (Cheers.) ' At Salisbury reaehad at 11: la o'clock a. m., Mr. Bryan was introduced - to ,000 people by Theodore F. Kluttz,- chairman of the North Carolina dele gation at Chicago, who seoonded.Mr. Bryan's nomination. Considerable en thusiasm marked the candidate's speech and the cheers grew in intensity as 'he proceeded. Just as Mr. Bryan boarded his train he was presented with the foot of a: rabbit killed at midnight in a church yard during the dark of the moon. Those who saw the presen tation manifested their appreciation of the incident by exercising their lungs, and just , as the ; train moved off ? the candidate called out: "If all the people who have "given me rabbits' feet in this campaign will vote for me there 'is no possible doubt ot my election." Mr.- Bryan's Salisbury speech is as follows: i . ' "I am informed that Andrew Jackson Sras a law student in thisjeity, and I am glad to tread the; soil rrrwie .sacred , by the hero of New: Orleans.'-(Applause.) The principles for which I'astand before the people are the principlels taught by Jackson when he was the Idol, not of democracy alone, but of the great com mon people, whom he at all times de fended. (Applause.) When Jackson was president his greatest fight was against the United, States - national bank- Those connected with" that reat ' banking influence -denounced him and applied to him just as abusive epithets, as t.he money ownng. and ferson before him and have applied to very one since who did not bow the 4cnee to Baal and worship the golden alf. (Applause.) At that time all the iionied influences of this country were eomomeu ror nis. ovennrow, jusx as they have combined today to perpetu ate a government of syndicates by syn dicates and for syndicates. (Applause.) The masses are interested in a govern ment whicji guarantees equal rights to all and confers special privileges to none. It is the classes , who want to use the instrumentalities of government for pritate gain. The masses are too busy tryirvg to make a living and bearing the burdens imposed on" them to erovd around legislative halls and spend a large amount to secure legislation which will enable them to get a larger amount out of the people. If the gov ernment will protect each citizen iiuthe enjoymeart of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness it js all should b asked. We are now engaged in an ef fort to make the pursuit of happiness more to the masses than a mere idle jmreit -with rto proepect of overrating that happiness. Our opponents seek to monopolize the opportunities of this Country and let the trusts and combi nations of wealth shut the doors of opr portunity against the humbler members of society. (A voiee: "Look this" way.") I am glad you reminded me of it, be cause there .re so many on this side I did not suppese, there were any more left to get on the other. (Laughter.) I am glad to note the intense inter est in this campaign-: I have noticed it all along the line. I have noticed it among young men who are anxious to establish: themselves and build up a competency. I- have noticed it among old men wr.o are praymg tnat Deiore their days are ended they may see the money or tne constitution- restored. (Applause.) I have noticed it among the mothers and wives who have been In everyj audience crowding around the platform because they especially have felc the pressure of the gold standaid. Living expenses , have been reduced. while the debts and the taxes :of the farmer have held up. I; am not sur prised they take an interest. If you could ; enter the homes of this nation and see how hope deferred has made the i heart sick; t you could see parents ' who in the hope of better days have planned for the higher education- of their chil dren in order that the children might begin the battle of life with greater advantage than -their parents, but who have been compelled to keep the chil dren at home in order to keejj the -.volf from the door, you would under stand wiat the gold standard means. It means a iower and lower order -of civilization, and If continued we will sink down where the few own all the wealth and the many are simply de pendent tenants. Our opponents try to divide the toiling . masses and set the laboring men in opposition to the farm er, f warn laborers not to desert the farmers who haye been' ttje frfends of labor in eve ry Btruggte to betteg their condition. The very people who to Jay are attempting to use laboring men' to defeat the farmer in their just cause, are the same people who have oppress ed labor from the beginning of the world and will do so again the mo ment : they haye the opportunity. (Cheers. . . We have lost a few democrats by desertion, but the number is growing less each day, because the democrats who have not entirely agreed with us find if they leave the democratic party in its great struggle with plutocracy they leave it to make' a permanent home iiirh those whom democracy has always fought since" it became a partv, (Appiaase.) ney realize they cannot afford o separate themsejyes from those with whom their interests and sympathies lie." (Cheers.) . Another large audience was at Lex ington, where Mr. Bryan- said: "In this eainpaueM, where our enmies are united against us, our fFiends are also united and with the help of the democratic party which adopted a plat formiat Chicago which is. pervaded with a spirit of American independence and to those "forces there brougtit to- gether has been added the forces rep resented by the populist party' and by the free FiiveF republican's of' the Unit ed States agginst Jthls double j?arty op poee4 to us we present the triple alliance- thppe who bejieye hi the money of the constitution, yfte isus' present ed now is a clean-cut issue, q man who believes in an American nystem of finance for 1 an American people can by his vote alsist in sending A man to congress wfc0 goes there to support th'S repuoucan poocy.cn fne money ques tion.'f (Cheers.)

The Convention Makes Short ' Work of Adopting a Platform and Nominating; a Ticket The PJatform Bashed ' Tlixongh Under the "Previous Question" and Un der Protest The Slate Ticket Nominated Without Mach Opposition. Buffalo, N. T., September 17. As was the case yesterday, no band was pres ent to enliven the crowd which waited for the democratic convention to begin its work. The convention was called to order at 11:02 o'clock. Charles N. -Bulger, of Oswego, presented the report of the committee on credentials. The re port was adopted. - '"-. E. M. Grout, of Kings, reported that the committee von permanent "organizai. tion had selected the Hon. II. II. Rock well, of Chemung, for permanent chair man and that the temporary secretaries be made permanent. A: "Chairman Rockwell's speech was ap plauded mildly' at InterVals, but when he said, - "Let Bryan be elected,'.' there was" "1 "great enthusiasm. More noise was made by the spectators in the galleries than by the delegates. 3. B. York, of Kings, read the report of the committee on platform. The first par agraph follows: . "The democratic party of the state of New Tork, . in convention assembled unreservedly indorses the platform of the democratic party at the national convention held in Chicago on Julyj7, 1896, cordially approves the nomina tions there made and pledges to Wil liam J. Bryan and Arthur Sewall its hearty and active support and declares as its deliberate judgment that never in the history of the democratic party has a platform' been written which em bodied more completely the interests of the whole people as distinguished from those who seek legislation for private' benefit than that given to the coun try by- the national democratic con vention of 1S96." : The remainder of the platform ', was : devoted to state politics. When he finished reading the plat form Mr. Tork moved the previous question on its adoption. -There were shouts of "No." Henry D. Purroy rose and protested. He was rapped down. The noes- were more numerous than the ayes. The vote was put and declared carried. Purroy challenged the decis ion of the chair and demanded a roll call. There was great confusion ' The chair ordered a roll call 'on the question as to the appeal from the decision of the chair. Mr. Purroy declared that his appeal was from the decision of the chair, de claring the previous question -." darried and stifling the voice of the questioner. Half a dozen delegates , tried to be heard. The ayes were in support of- the chair and the nays were against it.. ' After much confusion the roll of del egates was begun. When New York was called every delegate voted aye until Henry D. Purroy was called. He asked to be excused from voting, ahd upon being recognized, took the plat form to explain his reasons. He pro- duced a typewritten speech, which he read. He protested against stifling of free speech and declared himself un qualifiedly for Bryan and Sewall and the Chicago platform and declared that every' delegate who so desires should be given an apportunity to ' express his support of the national ticket. . The galleries repeatedly interrupted Mr. Purroy and the chair had difficul ty in obtaining a hearing for him. Mr. Purroy, after finishirTg hisjspeech, withdrew his request and voted aye. The chair announced that 228 votes. a majority, had been cast to sustain the chair, to 22 against. ' On motion of Senator Guv the motion to, adopt the platform was made unan imous. The following telegram was read: ."New York, September 17. '.'Hon. Thomas F. Grady, Chairman, "My resignation from the national committee has this day been forward ed to the Hon, James K, Jones.

NominatiorisWor governor were then declared in order. Albany was called and Louis W. Pratt, of ' Albany, took the platform and presented the name of John Boyd Thacher. 4 . . When Alleghany was called Judge Frank Downs, of Binghampton, came to the front and presented the name of William Sulzer. Delegate ' Gorman, of Erie county seconded the nomination of Sulzer. Treacher was nominated on the first ballot. The vote of New York settled it. William Sulzer. was recognized and moved that the nomination be made unanimous.' Jt wgg carried and John Boyd Thacher was declared the nomi nee for governor. .' - i Colonjel Danforth presented the name of Wilbur F. Porter, of Jefferson coun ty, for lieutenant governor. Charles P. McClellan, of West Chester, seconded the nomination of Mr. Porter. There were a dozen others. Wiljiam B. Bged, of "Kings, moved that the entire vote of the convention be. cast by the secretary for Wilbur F. Porter. It was so ordered and Judge Porter was declared the nominee for lieutenant governor. Moses Shire, of Erie, made a brief speech nominating Robert C. Titus for associate judge of the court of ap peals and. peyiewed his tvork for the party. This nomination was "seconded by many delegates and made-by ac clamation. , At 2:40 o'clock the convention ad journed sine die; Up to date the populist 'committee, who are here looking for fusion on electors ' and congressmen have made no progress,' A Cuban Cabinet Officer Arrested InXew York.

He came to this country from Cuba but two months ago1-upon a torivate mis sion in behalf of the Cuban cause, and since his arrival,' it is stated, he-has been watched by detectives put upon hrs track by the Spanish consul. The charges against General Roloff are oased upon his alleged connection with an expedition sent from this port to-Cuba on the steamship Laurada on August 9th last.
