Chicago, July 10.— The night session furnished all the preliminary incidents of the most dramatic apt of the convention. It was by long odds the most spectacular. President-making was to begin and the great ranks of seats were tilled with the biggest crowd which had yet secured admission. Outside other hundreds were clamoring before the doors. Three brazen bands from their ditt’ert tit stations clamored away upop patriotic melodies and the state delegations entering were shrilly cheered, while the familiar face of each lender was given an oi’ution of his own.

Last Nighty Session Resulted In Nothing Beipg Done, the Leaders Thinking It Best to Wait Till Today— Silver Party Men Satisfied—Bland to Take the Stump For the Choice of the Convention — Illinois Democratic Executive Committee Want Another Convention of Gold Men. Chicago, July 11.—William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska, the classic featured orator from the plains of the Platte, swept the convention off its feet yesterday and was nominated for president ou the id th-ballot. Political history furnishes no precedent for yesterday’s I proceedings in the Coliseum, either as a j great spectacular show, or as the result I of deliberations of the convention Os a great political party. Bryan is but 3(1 years old, younger by 10 years than any 'man ' ever nominated for . the chief... magistracy of the'American republic. I He came like a young Locliinvar out of J the west, which has never before- 1 1 nominarerl a. presidential ciimfidate, to , woo the bride for whose hand the conn- i trv’s greatest chieftains have been | - suitors. His name was barely ment idncil in the- prciimi-mijly sFirm ishes, ’ Four days • ago wh.en the ednventiou met he was not entered in-the’ lists, i But Thursday he made an impas.sipne.d and stii‘re(i “.the convmition. to"’ frenzy by his eloqui’-pce, f-T-.iat -u-pei-ch overthrew the dilligehrly. organized Work us woam! f<ir Otiier aspirants lorH he .honor: The cause of . . _siliver w-as in the minds .of the lie! -l ates when tiny as*-mbieiijiere. . For i.-; ■ ivrtus ® I hoy deiinei-atciy placed the east'rit w"ii;r of the paffy onthe altar. Now, when the convention is ' coldly, analyzed it is seen flmf tiro support of jjhi'ui and Bffies tbiui hJid.tt- s was e -ver mildly fomhlei.i'. ; wasjiiily' «®8 the representative of the h-.-me that they rallied delegates to thin' stirmlards - 'ami"even after many of them had. attached t IroiiiselC'es ’to the fortunes to one or the other.of the -eamlfda+es, they L appeared restß-ss itiid in all i iistincti.ve i-wl-i-y .tn be cjikting r itJivnit for a new i Tire" i'ar sneing, staid and seai foiled leaders of the. silver.mc.i, realrz- : bag that their new creed would alioiiate the oa torn Demoi'racy. believed in pn alliance with , the silver Republrcans, beyond, the. l> Missouri, thrimgil 3'iiator Teller’s- nomination, Imt the 1 rank and file would have, none of it. *

When Bryan made his speech the delegates sudiio' iymiw in him the groat nd . vocate of I heir cause and they turned to him with an impetuosity that nothing I could balk. Thev wanted a tribune of the people. They fell that they had found him in the eloquent young Nebraskan, who set thoir'iimigin.itioii on tiro. If ho had bnen placed in nomination then, the eonvoi lion would have boon stampeded as il wasyesierday. Willhiins' Sp.'.'i-li Sunk Hi.ine, r J'lle idea which ( ieorge l''led \\ illinms of Massachusetts conveyed in his seconding speech that it needed the strength of youth tn enduro the hardships of a new cause; that a young arm should wield the seymitar of an indignant people, sank home. Yesterday morning when the convention m*'t to ballot, Bryan showed second on the first lolleail. He had already overhauled Boies. Only Bland was ahead and it was a struggle for the Missourian to get the 238 votes which were east for him. The stampede began on the next ballot. I In the fourth ballot Bryan took the I lead, Bland fell back, hopelessly beaten. Nuiiiiiiiition Made I’naiilinoiis. | The nomination was made unanimous ;on the next ballot. When Ohio was 1 I reached Bryan had 446 votes ot the.>o4 required to make a two-thirds majoiity. | Chairman White had ruled that two- ! ! thirds of those voting constituted a two- . thirds majority under the rule. The Bryan men in tiro delegation demanded tile pull of the vote. The friends of McLean saw that the end was hi .'-edit, I and Mr. McLean himself mounted a chair. He withdrew h's fiame as a can- ! didate and east the 46 votes oi' i )hio fur Bryan. This gave him 410 -I'.‘less than I (‘Hough to nomitiafe.

In conversation with a ’ press representative he strongly in- » i dorsed Air. Bryan, both as a statesman • and silver man and declared his entire I satisfaction with the result of the coni vention’s work. He knows nothing us j|| ; yet concerning the influences that coni tribuled to his ticieat, nor does heap- .gj peai'-tocuire. • j ffl "The iioimaco.of the convention,” said Mr. Bland "is it very able and worthy Ji mini, lie is fully informed on the O (Hiestion and his whole heart and soul a j are in the cause.
