BRYAN IS NOMINATED Democratic Nominee Chosen by the Populists at St. Louis. MANY EXCITING INCIDENTS. At Least Fifty Nominaling Speeches Made. Bryan Keeeiviul 1,047 Votes, Against 331 For Norton ills Selection Made After llh Expressed' Wishes to Withdraw From the Rare. St. Louis, July 27. — William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska, who was nominated by the Democratic convention lit Chicago a fortnight ago, was Saturday matin the stam.ard-bearer of the Populist party by a vote of .1,01,7 to 331. The Democratic candidate was nominated in the face of his own protest in the shape of a telegram directing the withdrawal of his’name sent to Senator Jones, after Sewall, his running mate, had been ditched for the vice presidential nomination Friday night, and Thomas E. Watson-of Georgia had been named for second place on the ticket. The last session of the convention, which lasted from 9:30 in the niorninguntil almost 5 o'clock in the afternoon, was marked bysevms of tunbuiei wami noisy excitement, which several times I bordered <ui actual riot and what almost ' precipitated pe.r-onal collisions. The \ w id w x z.-\ Im fl !• /I WILLIAM J. BRYAN, storm center, as on the three previous days, was in the Texas delegation, but the really dramatic features of this wild session were enacted behind the scenes. Rumors of what was going on in the wings reached the delegates, but they knew nothing definitely, and at the very end a message from Mr. Bryan, which might have changed the result, was kept from their ears. To add to the other features of the day, the convention was without music and the hall was littered and bestrewn xvith the grime and dirt of Friday’s 12-hour sitting. It was not expecWd that the convention would last more than three days, and the contract made with the local committee expired Friday’ night. The Populist-Bryan managers desired at the outset Saturday to disregard Mr. Bryan’s telegram of Saturday night, to nominate him and straighten out the tai-gle afterwards. They started out to push the nomination through before any other candidates could be put in the field. But the interference was too much for them and their line was broken. Weaver Names Mr. Bryan. General Weaver of lowa, the Populist candidate of 1892, placed Bryan in nomination and General Field of Virginia, who was his running mate, after a brief speech moved to make the nomination unanimous. Chairman Allen held the motion was in order and that until that motion was decided the call of states for nominations, which was the order of the convention, could not proceed. The ruling almost precipitated a riot. Some cheered, some cursed, some fought and there would probably have beeu serious trouble had not the Bryan leaders wisely concluded to abandon this programme. But in doing so they opened the floodgates and for six hours the convention was deluged with oratory. Almost every state aucTtemtory had its inning on the platform. Most of the speakers seconded Bryan’s nomination. * About .50 seconding speeches were inado and some of them Were both eloquent and brilliant. Bryan’s Sympathy Vouched For. The middle of the road contingent insisted upon knowing at every opportunity, in view of his telegrani, whether Bryan Would stand.on the platform arid accept the nomination. Lui all these pointed questions were neatly parr.ed. Judge. Greet! of Nebraska and others vouched for Bryan's sympathy with Populistic principles, but that was all the satisfaction the radicals could get. The Texas delegation then sent a telegram to Bryan at- Lincoln putting the direct question tUTiim. To this no answer was received, but the Democratic caiwlidato had been in constant- telegraphic. communication with Henat-of Jones, ehairm;.ii of the Oemocratic eommittee, and word came to t'ho convention hall that Jones had a message which he wanted the convention to hear. It WiiS tlion t.i’iat. upon the suggestion of Senator Alien, a motion was carried In the eoiitusioii just before Hie ballot, was taken that may prove the key by whrvh l+te e< inphcat ions at tending tho desired union- of all the silver fofees may be unlocked. It was a motion conferring .upon the national committee plenary powers -all the power, as the motion stated.: of the convention itself. Some of the radieals pricked up their ears when the tnojion was put, and there was a vague protest, but it is certain that tho rank and file of the convention did not realize its full importance. As the rollcaU was procceeding Governor Stone of Missouri,- appe;ireil on the platform with- the Bryan message, but Senator Allen would not permit him to read it to the convention, and Stone retired very much disconcerted. The Populist leaders had decifled to go ahead with Bryan’s nomination irrespective of the wishes of the Democratic managers. J: - ‘

Mrsflage Called Fictitious. Rumors that such a message was in the convention aroused the- Lone Star delegates to frenzy and Stump Ashley demanded to know if there was a message from Bryan on the secretary’s table. Chairman promptly responded that there was not, but that there was some talk of a ‘'fictitious’’ message somewhere, but that he had not seeu it. Literally, of course, Senator Allen was correct. He said afterward in explanation of his. action that Bryan was the overwhelming choice of the LmVAtttibn; that the telegram, whatever it was, was not addri ssed to the convention or to a Populist delegate; that it was purely a Democratic negotiation and sopiething with which a Populist convention had nothing to do. When the rollmll was cninjileted if w4s.lor.nd that Bryan had 1.047 votes. Frank S. N'ojton of ( hicag'i w:i.- the only other candidate. Ignatius Donnelly of Minnesota and General Coxey, of industrial army tame, were nominated,, but their names Wert withdrawn. Norton iec< ived33l vofes,Eugene V.Debs S, Donnelly 3 and Coxey I. Norton got the majority of the solid vote of Texas, Michigan, New York. Missouri, Rhode Island and Wisconsin, and a respectable portion of -the 'yotes of Alabama. California, Kentucky, Illinois and Ohio. Radical* Hold a Rump Convention. The convention was hastily adjourned after Bryan had been declared the nominee, and the radicals in the Texas, Arkansas, California, Illinois and Maine delegations proceeded to organize a rump convention. After the adjournment Senator Jones refused t" hive out I Mr. Bryan's message, and he inimedij ately posted oft t.s> Lincoln.to confer I with the-’’silver knight of the west"’ regarding the situation, . ” As to (he futn+u all is probleifurtical. None of the wiseiicres.pretend to predict' with certainty what the result will be. Whether a fusion can be arranged or upon what basis is, of course, speculated upon. The shrewdest of tile political observers, atid thost- who are nr st anxious for a union of the silver, fore ,-s can see this result only in she withdrawal of one of the vice presidential candidates. There is, and there has been for some days,-talk of Sewall’s voluntary withdrawal, but after the stand Mr. Bryan and Senator Jones have taken this is not considered probable. It is strongly intimated that Watson may be induced to withdraw in the interest of such a union It should be said, however, that this is intimated by those who wish it most. By conferring upon the national Populist committee plenary powers those who are so earnestly striving for an actual consolidation of the strength of the silver forces created the machinery by which any sort of terms can be arranged. But what will happen the future alone can disclose. CONFERRED WITH MR. BRYAN. Senator Jones Closeted With the Candidate For Four Hours. Lincoln. Neb., July 27.—Senator James K. Jones, chairman of the Democratic national committee, arrived from St. Louis yesterday afternoon. From 5 o’clock until 9~ o'clock last night the chairman and Mr. Bryan were closeted in the latter’s parlor. When they emerged Mr. Bryan assured the press representatives in waiting that there was nothing to give out. “We havt? been discussing plans, but we have decided upon nothing that can be given to the public,” said Mr. Bryan, as he entered the carriage to accompany Senator Jones to the station. Governor iHolcomb returned from the St. Louis convention yesterday and was a party to the conference for an houj er more. Senator Stewart was expected here, but he did not put in an appearance. Damage to Railroads Heavy; Wheeling, July 27.— Traffic op the fourth division of the Baltimore and Ohio has been resumed. The train for the east at noon was the first to go through. The damage inflicted to the railroads by the floods is very heavy. In the town of Mannington the damage is estimated at 81501000, the South Pennsylvania Oil company being the heaviest loser. The Ohio Valley milroad over the river will not be open to traffic for three weeks. Chairman Hanna Goes to New York. Cleveland, July 27. — Chairman Hanna of the Republican eommirte starts for New York this evening. He goes to arrange for the opening of the Republican headquarters in that city. Mr. Hanna was asked if anything definite had been arranged as to the plans of the campaign. ■’Nothing •dnffinire,'’* was his reply. “That is part of wljat we shall discuss at the New York meeting. Npthing will be settled upon until the New York meeting is held.

AN ACTRESS’ EULOGY. ’; She Speaks and Prays at the Bier of John E. Fries. It is an unusual thing to find a woman > conducting sum ral services, and a still i mor ■ unusual thing to see an actress cnjgaged in such solemn office. Mrs. W. G. Jones, a veteran of the stage, who has been before the footlights for nearly two score years, stood at the . head of the black velvet casket which I held the remains -of John E. Fries, the theatrical curio man, in Roth's under- , taking rooms on Seventh avenue. Assisted by Aunt Louisa Eldridge she delivered a touching extempore eulogy of the dead and said a few prayers be- ■ fore the body was carried away to Greenwood. Through some misunderstanding the Episcopal clergyman engaged for the occasion by Will Warren, the adopted son of the deceased, did not appear, and as several actors present expressed their inability to take the place of the minister, Mrs. Jones consented. Prefacing her remarks with the statement that this was the first time she had ever been called upon in her long career to discharge such a sacred duty, she spoke feelingly for 15 minutes about the generosity and loving character of the deceased. / She ended her eulogy with an a peal to the Almighty to look kindly upl i his ■weaknesses, if he had any, and t/j bless ! the paths of the living who were present, so that there might be a reunion of them all under happy conditions in the i hereafter. Then she called on all present tc Milow her in repeating the Lord’s prayer. At the end of the services Aunt Louisa turned and kissed Mrs. Jones warmly. Nearly two dozen members of the theatrical profession were present.—Nets York World. bicycle is going to redeem the world cr turn the rising generation - 'nto an army of saints, but I do know frem personal experience that, the boy who rides a bicycle and comes to school with a healthy glow on his face, that means a good circulation and a hearty appetite, produced by exercise in God's fresh air and God’s bright sunshine, is a much , mon? tractable lad than is the same-boy ! when he is allowed to mope around the house or the comer grocery, listening to ■ the vile stories of vile men <•’' concocting some deviltry of his < wn.
