OMAHA. July 5.-The exhausted men who
yesterday nominated Weaver and Field rs the
standard bearers OF the Peoples party are not
shouting very loud for their ticket to-day The
Convention did not adjourn till after 3 o'clock
this morning. and nineteen hours OF high ten
sion and excitement had severely tested the
endurance OF even the bronzod. hnrd-museled
delegates who took part In 1t. So tho talk to-
day has been in the line Of sober review OF tho
action Of the Convention and OF estimation OF
the strength OF the ticket
The situation under cool scrutiny takes q
very different aspect to the practical men
among the delegations after tho crazy excite
ment OF yesterday. To outsiders the dele
gates maintain an air OF confidence and salts
faction. but the leaders who know anything
about practical politics arc most OF them
ready to admit among themselves that the
Peoples party has not the remotest chance OF
carrying any State enst OF the Mississippi. and
that it is extremely doubtful IL Con. Weaver
will receive o single electoral vote. 1t Is n
matter OF great regret to them that after tho
most splendid Convention meeting OF the year
the party should have made the weakest pos
sible nomination. They begin to discover
now that the Gresham boom was but a cover
for the Weaver canvass which has been
shrewdly worked UP for many weeks.
There arc plenty OF men here sane on all
other points. who really believe that Gresham
would have been elected President il he had
been willing to run. There is now good deal
OF bitterness against tho Gresham boomers.
for 1t is realized that they have all along been
A,
terror purpose on the part of some OF them.
There is little doubt that II the opposition to
Weaver had not been several times thrown
into confusion by the Gresham development.
and by Senator Kylc's accedance to South Da-
Eota's demand for his withdrawal. tho preach
ex-senator would have been nominated.
Never in any National Convention were there
so many and so radical changes in the po-
sitions OF candidates before balloting as hap
pened yesterday. Tie Weaver following was
the only faction that was undisturbcd. The
result was that whom ballot was reached
nothing could prevent his nomination.
Bets have been freely made to-day that he
will not receive an electoral vote. 1t cannot DO
denied. however. that the Peoples party work
ers. especially In tho West and South. will de-
yelop great enthusiasm for the candidates
Weaver is particularly strong among tho
