Kansas City, Mo., .Inly 6. (Spl.)-4Iero are wine or tho
opinions of well known Democrats on Hryan'a selection and
the platform:
Ororgp Kred WllllaniH, of MasMiclnmettB: "There is no
protesting Miiee against the platform and tho selection of
Rryan. There will be nosubordlnatlon of the silver question,
but It Is evident to everybody that the great xneuaco of tho
times Is the Impel lalistic policy of tlu; present Administra
tion. I think tho party will be. very much stronger every
where for Hip. action of the committee on roolutlons. All
who tely and of necessity must rely on Rryan for leadership
will admit Ids masterly and Insuperable qualities ns a leader,
and they arc fortuuatu to be able to put him In command on
the platform that was agreed to. The platform emphasizes
tho leadership of Riyan and preages victory In November."
V.x Governor John P. Altgeld: "I regard the platform as
the strongest ever adopted In the country. We have started
a tldul tio of auinlsm which will sweep from ocean to
ocean. With the tides of November, militarism, Imperialism,
MeKltileyiisin and Ilanunlsm will pass from America forever.
Rryan will be the next President."
.Senator Daniel, of Virginia: "The platform will be the
bond which will reunite the Democracy of the country. It
will prove satisfactory to Democrats of whatever opinion
regarding the llnancla I question. It Is ery strong and wllh
meet with approval everywhere."
Richard Croker, of New Yoik: "The platform is all right.
It Is splendid. I hare not studied it carefully, but I heard
every word of It as Senator Tillman read it. It suits me; It
Is big enough and broad enough for all Democrats and I be
lieve It will suit all Democrats.. It Is good enough for all to
stand upon. I could not. say more If I tried. As for our can
didate, Rryan, he Is goln; lo win. Wo will carry New York
Slate for him surely and I predict now that he will be elected
President of the United States-."
Carter Harrison, of Chicago: "I am perfectly atistled.
Making antl-imperlalHiu the paramount issue for the coming
campaign is eien better that what we wrrc lighting for in the
committee on resolutions. All that we asked was that the
convention should not specifically reaflirm the old money
plank of the Chicago platform because all feared it would be
made the dominant Issue In the campaign."

Mr. Chairman: More than a hundred
years ago the Continental Congress of
America adopted a declaration which
had been drafted by the founder of the
Democratic party, and the joyous tones
of the old liberty bell which greeted
the act announced to a waiting world
that a nation had been born.
With hearts unchllled by the seir-
llsh sentiments of cold commercialism,
you have respouded patriotically to
(ach sentiment contained in Democ
racy's first platform as It was read to
a on at the opening of this convention,
and In view of Hie radical departure
which the party In power has made
from the principles set forth In that
historic document, It is meet that we

should, when choosing a Held and form-
lug our lines for the bloodless name
of ballots now impending, say In the
language of one of the loved patriots
of long ngor
"Read this declaration at the head of

drawn from Us scabbard, and a sol
