The chairman asked such members of the •executive cor mittee as were In the body of he hall to step up to the platform. Among those who thus adTanced was Mrs. Mary Ellen l«iase, who was warmly cheeted. Chairman Taubeneck Introduced as temporary chairman of the convention Senator Butler, of North Carolina, saying that he had been chosen by acclamation and without a dissenting voice, in a committee of 1«0 members, and expressing , the belief that when the convention adjourned It would have accomplished its work just as unanimously. (Cheers.) Senator Butler was received with three cheers. which he characterised as “a cyclone of patriotism.*' All history taught, he said, that there always came a crisis in the affairs of men when humanity was raised to a higher levePaceording as the men on whose shoulders the responsibility rested were able to meet the crisis with wisdom and patriotism (cheers), »n4 to solve it to the betterment of human it*. Two political parties, he said, had held national conventions this year, had adopted platforms, and had put forward their leaders •nd now another great political party, young but a growing giant in airength. had assembled to speak to the American people at this official and important hour. {Cheers.] The populists were here because there * as need of them to be here. The parties that had had charge of the gorernment since the wsr had succeeded in bringing the nation to the verge of bankruptcy and ruin, and bad necessitated the existence of the populist organisation. The two parties bad vied with each-Other in ••straddling."but now "straddling" was a thing

This w as done. On' motion of Mr. I>cnn$J’y, of [Minnesota the convention, at 2:15, took a receis until8 p. tn.. to enable the committee on credentials to report. The night session failed cn account of lack of light, and the convention adjourned until Thursday morning at 10 o’clock. SECOND DAT. Morning Session. St Lorw. July 28 At 10:10 Senator Butler, of North Carolina temporary chairman, called the convention to order Jter. Mr. Smith was selected to lead In prayer The chairman ealied for the report of the committee cn credentials, but that committee arhs still not prepared to report, and was given further time The roll of state* was then called forth© names of committeemen on permanent organisation. resolutions and notification of nominees That operation was slow and occupied much time. ! . ( The names of proposed committeemen having all been sent in. those on permanent organization were requested by the chairman, at 10.150 a. m.. to retire for consultation!

Cor. Stone <tf IfioMii At ll:SMhe commlitee on platform, left the •on rent Ion to meet at theLfndeU hotel Mr. Washburn, of Massachusetts, offered the following revolution: A *f W Autaas, We are all populist* and deprecate an attack whieh ha* appeared la some of the newspapers that there U a disposition on the part of any portion of this convention to refuse to abide by the act.on of the convention; therefore. "Jfesolrerf. That we repudiate all such utterance- a* a reCectlon upon the fidelity of the •umbers of this convention to the people's party.” . The .resolution was tabled, aa was a motion to take recess until two o’clock. A delegate from Kansas.rose on his ehair to eb.lect to the presence of the police U> a populist convention. but he was howled down. A motion to lake a recess till three o'clock eras finally successful and the temporary chairman at 18 Si declared the convention adjourned till that hour.

Afternoon Sruloa. U*aO S>*h« Senator Butter called the convention to order, and stated that the commute on credentials was prepared to make s partial report. Thereupon Mr. V 'drdeii. of California, chairman of the committee, came to the stand and submitted a majority report reconm ending that the delegates be recognised in all the uncontested cases; that in the asset of the first ten Illinois congressional districts both contestants and cun testers ba ■sated with the right to cast half vote*, and that, la the case of Colorado the delegates known as the Patterson delegates be seated and east the full rotes of the state Minority reports, the chairman stated, would be submitted in those cases. That part of the report for the admission of the delegates whose seats were uneoateeted mat agreed to had then there ensued s long

ud leriaottow mtcla over the rest at the report, the majority prevailing in the erd. The Committee on permanent organisation announced itself ready to report. Mr. Cox stated the recommendations ot the committee—the name of Senator Allen, of Nebraska (being reported as permanent chairman). (Load and prolonged cheers.) Hie minority report was then read, presenting the name of James E. Campion, of Maine, as permanent chairman. (Cheers and applause from the adherents of the middle-of-the-road sectionl of the convention.) Hie excitement lasted for fully ten minutes, the guidons of Mississippi. Alabama, Ohio, Texas. ^Tennessee and other states and the middle-of-the-road banners being carried around in tumultuous procession In immitation of the scene in the democratic convention at Chicago when Bryan was nominated. Mr. Brown, of Massachusetts, moved to lay on the table both the majority and minority reports, until after the adoption of rules by the convention. The question was put by Senator Butler (who had resumed the chair) and he decided that the motion to lay on the table was lost. The convention then, at 7:1b, began to vote by states on the adoption of tho majority report (Allen for permanent chairman) the utmost confusion prevailing. The vote was announced at 8:06 p. m. as: For Allen 758. for Campion 564, lor Donnelly 1. As soon as the vote was announced, the Bryan section of the convention broke out into a wild shout of triumph, delegates standing up and vociferating, and waving hats and fans, and again a procession of guidon-bearers took up the march through the oJnTention hall, yelling demonically. The band took part in the performance with the strains of ••Hall Columbia*' and other patriotic airs. Finally, at 8:20. some degree of order was restored. wben Mr. Wstklas. of California, stepped to the platform and said that the Campion men (of whom he was one) had fought a grand fight and had been squarely whipped, and now*he moved to make the nomination of Senator Allen unanimous. The motion was ■adopted with a whoop. Senator Alien was escorted to the chair by Lafo Peace, “Cyclone" Davis and Ignatius Donnelly, and was greeted with cheers. He then addressed the convention at some length.

THIRD DAT. Moraine Session. ST. Loos. July 24. The conrention was called to order by Senator Allen, permanent chairman, at 10:04 o'clock. Prayer vu offered by ReT. Mr. Williams, of the Union Methodist church. St, Louis. The chairman Introduced Mrs. Marian Todd, who read a resolution espresslng a regret for the death of Mrs. S. E- B. Emory, “one of our

Temporary Chairman Marion C. Batter. number." and read an address eloquently eulogizing the deceased lady. The resolution was unanimously adopted by a rising vote ifieV which the reading clerk added his tribute Urthe services of Mrs. S. E . B. Emory. A gavel constructed in the state of Ohio out of 48 different kinds- of timber, representing every state, was presented to the chairman by Delegate DeN'oe. of Ohio, a- a "middle-of-the-road" gavel, and it was accepted by the chairman. The states were then called for the appointment of a delegate to act on the conference committee with the sliver convention. When the state of Texas was reached, the spokesman of that delegation declared, indignantly, that Texas had no name to present for such a committee. , • The report of the committee on rules and order of business, which was made late Thursday night, was taken up. The majority report having been read last night, the minority report was now read—the point of it being that nominations for vice-president shall be made prior to nominations for president. After the reports had been debated by several members, the previous question was demanded. and the chair declared it to be carried. and declared all further debate to be cut off. Nevertheless Mr. Gerrv Brown, cf Massachusetts. and ex-Gov. Gibbs, of Texas, were permitted to address the convention, both in favor of nominating the vice-president first, and selecting a southern populist for the office.

The question was put on tbe adoption of the majority report so far as it did not conflict with the minority report and it was adopted. M uch time was spent over Jhedetails of the rules—many amendments hating been offered to them, with more or less discussion and the usual degree of confusion. Mr. Washburn, of Massachusetts, was called to the chair to relieve Senator Alien. The convention, by an almost unanimous vote, decided to leave the selection of a chalrmau of the national committee tojhe committee Itself, instead of confldiag th "selection of the chairman to the presidential nominee. When that portion of the rules was reached which provided for a reversal of the order of nominating president and vice-president “Cyclone*’Davis took the stand and said he believed he could now point the way to a haven of peace He had received ^pledges from the states of Nevada and Illinois, in addition to the states of Kansas and Nebraska, that if the convention proceeded in regular order they would sustain tbe middle-of-the-road candidate for vice-president. ■ He for his pert was witling to trust their good faith and to withdraw all obstruction. A delegate from Minnesota added to these pledges “the almost unanimous support'* of Minnesota's S3 delegates. But the convention was not in the humor to accept the olive branch of peace. Fifty men addressed the chair at once, and when the chairman declared that the pro ious question had been ordered. Mr. Crandall, of New Jersey. advanced to the platform, and shaking his (1st. said he was a delegate, and he proposed to be neartl. He was howled down notwithstanding. The roll of states was called on the question of substituting the minority report, giving precedence to the Tice-presidential nomination. for the majority report to proceed to ballot for president first sod vice-president neat. Mr. Skinner, of North Carolina, who had cast » of that state’s vote for the majority report, announced that he would change that vote unless good faith was to be observed and a soother* viee-presldert nominated.

A scene ot wild contusion ensued which delayed the proceed! nits some time. An informal count showed the rote to be: For the minority report 730: tor the majority report 1M Before the reealt was announced Hr. Skinner chanced the rote of North Carolina, easting the whole'IS rotee tor the minority report which wan adopted, the otteial total beiac: For the minority,»: for the majority report

The report as thus amended was then declared adopted. The chair then announced that the committee on resolutions had prepared a report, hut the minority members, who wished to sign a minority report, requested time for this par* P<Gen. WeaTer. of Iowa, chairman of the com- j mlttee on resolutions and platform, took the j platform at 3:06 to read the platform and res- ! olutions,which had been agreed to, he said, ; with great unanimity, but not with entire j unanimity, as minority reports would be.presented by Mr. Kearby, of Texas, and Mr. Coxey, of Ohio. He read the platform and resolutions. There were three minority reports presented, but they were all laid on the table and the platform as reported by the majority of the committee was adopted. .

' HV*VKIM\\ Mr Thomas E. Watson. The states were called for nomination for rice-president. When Alabama was called Col. P. G. Bauman mounted the platform and placed In nomination Harry Skinner, of North Carolina. The convention then decided to take a recess until six o'clock.

Evening Sesalon. At 6:35 p. m. the convention was called to order by Its permanent chairman. Senator Allen. of Nebraska, but it was a long time before the call produced the desired result. Then the chairman announced that a message had been received from the silver convention and it would now be read. Judge Pollard, of Missouri, a member of the silver convention.was introduced by the chairman. and proceeded to read the platform adopted by that body. There were some points When he reached the conclusion to the effect that Mr. Bryan had been nominated for the presidency, there was an outburst of applause, drowning the further announcement of the nomination of Sewall for the vice-presidency. The call of states for nominations for vicepresident was resumed. Representative Howard, of Alabama, placed In nomination Hon. Thomas E. Watson, the late populist congressman from Georgia. Mr. Sovereign, master workman of the Knights of Labor/seconded the nomination of Mr. Watson on behalf of the state of Arkansas. Mr. Watson's nomination was also seconded by Delegate Johnson, of California. Colorado being called, yielded to Mr. Lafe Pence, now of New York, formerly a congressman of Colorado, who advocated the nominalion of Sewall. Mr. Murphy, of Georgia, in seconding the nomination of Tom Watson, spoke of the populist party in the south as being the protectors of the colored man in his right to vote, as evidenced by the Georgians having a "black Africa." in their delegation. Mr. L. H. Stock well, of Indiana, seconded TomWatson. stating that he had been twice fairly elected to the lower house of congress, and as often counted out Mr. Weller, of Iowa, once familiarly known as "Calamity Weller" nominated Frank Burkitt. of Mississippi. Mr. W. A. Harris, of Kansas, seconded the nomination of Mr.. Sewall. but Judge Frank Doster, of the Kansas delegation* rising in hts seat and speaking for a portion of the delegation. expressed their dissent and seconded the nomination of the "often elected and often defrauded" Thomas Watson, of Georgia. Kentucky yielded toCapt Burnam. of Tennessee. whq nominated A. L. Mims, of Tennessee. one of the grandest men m the state. Illinois, which by request had been passed earlier in the evening, through Mr. G. M. Miller, seconded the nomination of' Mr. Mims. Louisiana seconded Tom Watson.

Deputy Walton, of Georgia (colored), was introduced to the convention and was allowed five minutes to second the nomination of Mr. Watson. Mr. Ignatius Donnelly, of Minnesota, was the next speaker. On behalf of his state he seconded the nomination of Mr. Watson. Mr. C. P. Gore, the blind orator of Mississippi. '-seconded the nomination of Mr. Frank Burkltt, of Mississippi.

Nevada was represented by Mr. Rogers, of California, who seconded the nomination of Mr. Skinner, of North Carolina. Mr. WUUam K. Henry, of North Carolina, addressed the convention as the spokesman of New Hampshire. He said that the last words that rang in his ears ns he left the old North state were-. “Vote for Bryan, because he is greater than his party, and because he Is a populist, but. for God Almighty's sake, do not (It# us Sewall for vice-president.” It was after midnight when, the nominating speeches b'-ing closed, a roll call was ordered, which resulted in the nomination of Thomas £. Watson, of Georgia. A demonstration followed the announcement, which warn brought to a close by the lights going out. and the convention adjourned till nine o'clock Saturday morning.

ventton giving the nomination of a vice-preat* dent the preference over the nomination of president made the selection of national oommitteeman the next order of business. Mr. J. K. Barnett, of California, protested that this was not so, and insisted that the convention simply ordered a transposition of the order of nominating president and vice-presi-dent. The chairman curtlj replied that the gentleman's statement of facta was entirely mistaken, and went on with the naming of national committeemen. When that was finished he called for committee on notification. Alabama being called, Mr. George F. Gaither, of that state, addressing his “brothers and sisters of the convention,** yielded to James B. Weaver, who he said, would name the man who would be the running mate of Tom Watson, and run the gold bugs out of existence. Mr. Weaver opened his speech with the remark that the condition of the people's party this morning was most “critical.” He had but two aspirations—one was to preserve untarnished and unbroken the great principles of the party, and the other was to preserve the party organization “for present and future uses in every portion of tfie country.” He assumed that aU delegates had read in the papers this morning the telegram from Mr. Bryan declining to accept the nomination of the people's party disassociated from Mr. Sewall. “No man,” said Mr. Weaver, could have done less and be a man. Mr< Bryan's attitude challenges the respect of every delegate present, and cf every man who reads the proceedings ef this convention. “But,'' hecontinued. “this is a greater question thanl the personality of our candidate* After I read Mr. Bryan's telegram I utterly refused—and I uow utterly refuse—to concur with the desire either of Mr. Bryan or of Senator Jones as to who shall' be the nominee of this convention."

The rest of Weaver 8 speech was read from a typewritten copy, and c|osed«as follows: Therefore, in obedience to my highest conceptions of duty, with a solemn conviction that 1 am right. 1 place in nomination for the presidency of the United States a distinguished gentleman who. let it be remembered, has already been three times indorsed by the populist party of his own state—once for representative in congress, once for United States •Senator and only last week for the presidency.

"Now, gentlemen of the jury." he went on— "I mean gentlemen of the convention" (laughter). "I move that the rules be suspended and the nomination of Wm. Bryan be declared unanimous." The chairman put the question and twothirds of the delegates arose with vociferous shouts of "aye. aye.” This cry. however, was accompanied by the counter cry of "no, no." "Call the roll of states.” The motion to suspend the rules was understood to be withdrawn, apd the call of states for presidential nominations was begun. The roll call of states continued for nominations. amid great excitement and confusion. At 3:40 p m. the call of states for voting began. The candidates were Bryan and Norton. The call of states concluded, a ballot was ordered. and Mr. Bryan whs nominated on th« first ballot Texas stoo|l out solidly against Bryan, casting per 103 votes for Norton, and refusing stubbornly atd effectively to be drawn into the maelstrom of excitement that followed the announcement of the result of the ballot.

---1—*WATSON WILL ACCEPT In the Interest of Harmony, and Believes the Ticket Will be Elected. Augusta, Ga., July 26.—A United Press representative! saw Thomas E. Watson, the populist nominee for the vice-presidency, at his home yesterday in Thompson, : Ga. Mr. Watson said: “I will accept the nominatioh. I wired my friends in St. Louis to that effect. I did it in the interest of harmony aDd to prevent the disruption of the populist party, which eetned imminent. Under the circumstances I did what I believed to be best for all interests. The movement for fusion was immensely greater than I had any idea of two weeks ago. I was originally for a straightout populist platform and . a straightout populist ticket, but the demand for fusion was so great it could not be withstood. Total fusion, or adoption of the entire democratic ticket would have killed the populist party. As i£ is, the integrity of ; the party is preserved/ Under the! circumstances, I fully indorse the policy pursued by the. convention. There is no reason why I should refuse to receive the support of a man who Agrees with me in three essential principles because he does not agree with me in four. I should rather accept his aid and thank him for it. “If Mr. Bryan accepts the populist nomination, i < believe our ticket tjfill be elected.”

Lincoln, Neb., July 27.—Senator Jones, of Arkansas, arrived in Lincoln last evening and was immediately driven to the residence of Mr. Bryan, where an earnest conference was held on subjects of much*importance to the democratic and populist parties. Sc great has been the avalanche of written matter addressed to Mr. Bryan that he is practically swamped and many of the letters and telegrams that were sent him after his nomination are not yet answered. The speech delivered by M r. Bryan in closing the debate on the democratic platform at Chicago hasbeen printed for distribution under the supervision of Mr. Bryan, with some verbal corrections.
