CAIIDIDATES IIOTIFIED.
BRYAN ACCEPTS NOMINATION.
Stevenson Asctpts the Vice-Presidency
The Notification Thous
ands of People Gathered at
Indianapolis, Ind-,
Yesterday.- t
Indianapolis, Ind., August 8.
William Jennings Byan and
Adlai E. .Stevenson were to-day
in this city, officially and formally
notified of their nominations by
the Democrats at the recent Kan
sas Convention, to the offices re
spectively of President and Vice
President of the United States.
The ceremony was made. the occa
sion of a demonstration with which
the Democrats may be fairly said
to have begun their national cam
paign. ,
The notification occurred in the
military park, a beautifully
shaded tract of ground in the
center of the-city. The park con
tains probably thirty acres of
ground and it was well covered
with people. In the vicinity of
the speakers' stand the crowd was
very dense. Probably a majori-
y of them were residents of ' In
dianapolis, but many were from
other portions of Indiana, while
many also came from distant
State There was also J quite a
general gathering of the members
of the Democratic . National com
mittee, while of course the mem
bers of the two committees ap:
pointed to make the official noti
fications were also present. The
occasion was therefore regarded
- . 1 I'.! 'l . i, i
as . oi national pomicai import
ance. The ceremony was preceded by
a parade through, the principal
streets of the city which, was par
ticipated in by a number of visit
ing and local Democratic clubs.
These acted as an escort to the no
tification party and the cavalcade
was an imposing one. The meet
ing began a few minutes after 3
o'clock and concluded at 5:40 p.
m. Five .speeches were made,
Mayor Taggart, of Indianapolis,
adding a. welcoming address to
he notification speeches of Rep
resentative Richardson and Gov
ernor Thomas and responses made
by Mr. Bryan, and Mr. Steven
son. ,
In his speech before the notifi
cation committee Mr. Bryan dis
cussed the Kansas City platform.
He declares the contest to be one
between Democracy on the one
hand and Plutocracy on the other.
The position of the two parties
were clearly defined by Mr.
Bryan who said imperialism is the
great and far-reaching issue now
in the arena of politics. He de
clared against civilizing with the
sword -and making merchandise of
blood. Mr. Bryan declares that
he favors giving the Filipinos in
dependence and guarding them
!rom molestation from other na
ion, as has been done in case of
he Cubans.
