THE NOMINATIONS.
Then came the roll call Of the states for
the presentation Of candidates for the presi-
dcncy. The first state: Alabama, y was
scarcely shouted by the secretary when J. 8.
Manning arose and promptly placed in
nomination Gen. James B. Weaver of Iowa
amid prolonged cheers.
The place Of. Colorado was yielded to
Col. s. +. Norton, OF Ills. who placed Sena-
tor Kyle. Of s. D., in nomination. . Col:
already won his spurs in the brainest and
shrewdest assembly in the United
States. The man he should name stood
there as q giant. One part of his strength
consisted in the fact that he is q member oil
no faction. His candidates brain was not
measured by the girth Of his waist: He was
a man so great that no big white hat Of an

gaze. His candidate wat a broad and lib
eral-minded man. It was not impossible
or improbable that the new party might
place the man he would name in the White

left the field TO the four candidates who had
