faith, the fust, national convention of
the fndop( ndenre Party was opened
tonight in Orchestra Hall.
Delegates Enter.
The main floor of the hall was filled
wllh delegates. Tho gallarii K were
crowded with a throng which entered
heartily into the spirit of the proceed
ings and throughout the night ap
plauded vigorously whatever met their
approval. A few minutes after eight
the delegates trooped into the hall,
New York heading the column; the
delegates from the Empire Slate bore
a white banner hearing (lie words "In
dependence Party," between the
words being an evenly balanced scale
signifying exact justice to all.
Cheered Each Other.
Olher delegations carried the na
tlonal colors and they waved them
back and forth in greeting as they
found their allotted positions in the
ball. New York cheered every other
delegation, and the olher delegation."
cheered New York, then cheered each
other, and then themselves, until the
hall rang again and again. The dem
onstration lasted about fifteen min
utes anil continued for some time after
the delegates were in their seats.
Then entrance of George W. McCas
kerin, whom the Illinois delegates are
supporting for the gubernatorial nomi
nation, was a signal for cheers," for
the next governor of Illinois."
This outburst, had scarcely subsided
when the arrival of Hearst started a
delirious demonstration.
Demonstration Tor Hearst
The hall was in an uproar as he
mounted the steps leading to the plat
form. He took no notice of the dem
onstration by after remaining on the
rostrum about three minutes In consul
tation, with Ihe secretary of the con
vention, descended in to the body of
the hall, taking a seat with the Nov;
York delegation. His action was a
signal for renewed cheering, and the
delegates shouting "Hearst! Hearst!"
immediately started on a parade
around the hall, chanting continuously
the name of the New York editor. The
parade continued several minutes be
fore quiet was ret sored.
ConventionOpcns.
Milton W. Howard, of Alabama
took the gavel and introduced f'has.
A. Walsh, of Iowa, secretary of the
provisional national committee, who
read the call for the convention. Fath
er O'Callahan. of Chicago, delivered
the invocation.
Howard then announced the namos
of the temporary officers of the con
vention. His mention of the name of
Hearst was received with a thrust of
applause and Hearst, when he mount
eil the rostrum, was given an uproar
ine welcome. When quiet was re
stored he began his address as tem
porary chairman of the convention,
speaking as follows:
Hearst's Speech.
"This is the first national conven
tion of the Independence Party, and
whether it shall prove a historical
tvent cr merely a passing political
incident depends upon the wisdom and
patriotism with which we shall delib
erate and act. I believe we will do
a service to our fellow citizens second
only to the inestimable Fervioe rend
ered by the founders cf this govern
ment, if we shall found a party which
will remain unfailingly faithful to the
cause of the plain people, as to the
principles of the declaration of inde
pendence, and to tho fundamental Am
erican Ideas of liberty, equality, and
opportunity for. all.
New Party Needed.
"I believe that if any party is neces
sary in this country to preserve the
government, as our fore fathers fram
ed II, a new party Is necessary; if any
party is necessary to promote pro
gress and prosperity, to encourage the
honest business man, and protect the
honest, working man, a new party is
necessary; if any party is necessary
to represent the typical citizens, to
constitute the people In their struggles
with tyrannical monopolies which con
stitute trusts, a new party is neces
sary. Scores Other Parties.
"The Republican party," he said, "is
the avowed hand maiden of the trusts.
It scorns those who would rescue it
repudiates those who would reform it,
and giciies brazenly in its profitable
infamy.
"The Democratic party is merely en
vious of its sordid sister's ill-gotten
finery. It upbraids her at one (dec
tlon and Imitates her at the next.
"The Republican leaders are the
political attorneys of the trusts; the
representatives in public, life of those
giant corporations which have stipe"
ceded the people in this republic as
the service of power and the seat of
authority.
A "Falstaffs" Army.
"The Ieniocratic vanguard is a 'Fal
staff's' army. H is led by a knight
errant in a motley array of modified
professions and compromised prin
ciples, of altered opinions and re
tracted statements."
Hearst here mentioned Sullivan,
Hopkins. Murphy, Taggart, McClellan,
Ryan. eBlmont. Bailey and Williams,
describing them as offirers of the
I Democrntis vanguard, and designating
them in uncomplimentary terms.
"Assuming that Bryan himself is all
his most ardent admirers claim him to
be, still a man is known by the com
pany he keeps, and no decent Demo
crats can tolerate his companions.
Boodlers and Bravos.
"No honest citizen can let, down the
bars of office to such an Ali Baba's
band of boodlers and bravos. No pru
dent citizen will support a combina
tion to which Taggart supplies a can
didate, and a Parker platform for
which Ryan will pay the freight, and
the people pay the penalty."
He urged his party to take a liberal
stand toward legitimate business en
terprises, but to distinguish between
legislative business concern
duct of a party whos" role purpose H
to stand pat and whose sole desire I-;
to stay cut.
The Democratic platfrom, he admit
t'd c Mitains some good and original
things, but the original things are no
good and the good things are not orig
inal. It. was built by political Jack
daws who feathered their nests with
the plumes of others without under
standing of their significance or inten
tion as to their performance,
"II is Ihe habitation of a hermit crab
which has no shell of its own and in-
vides the first convenient one without
regard to property or propriety.
Bryan Killed Fatted Calf.
"lis platform, too, is one of recou
( illation and retraction, atonement anr
apology, harmony and hypocrisy, for
in compliance with a former compact.
Parker has pronounced peace, Bill
Bailey has poured Standard Oil upon
the troubled waters and Bryan has
killed, not, only the fatted calf, but
the gcose that laid the golden egg.

YESTERDAY.
Lies in Idea of Local Self Government
and National Sovereignty Thl
is Presented in Start and
Stripes.
Omaha, Neb., July 27 Bryan was
the principal speaker at a flag raising
here today. He was enthuslasMrally
received. His speech was mostly of
local application. In closing he' paid
a tribute to the flag.
In that flag," ho said, "Is presented
that idea, of government which ' ci.
bines national sovereignty with" the
preservation of local self government.
the greatest Idea of government, that
has been presented since tho original
idea of self government was enuncia
ted; that Idea of s"arate communi
ties. Independent in their local affaiis
and yet nulled in matters of national
Inn ortance; that Idea is the safety of
Ui' republic.
"There Is no area of territory too
large for a republic like that.
"Preserve the idea of the state tak
ing care of its domestic affairs and the
United States acting together and you
can spread the Idea Indefinitely, but
without these two ideas both ire
served, the great republic is imtios-
slhle." -
