Mr.. Bryan left his home at Lincoln, Neb last

Gus inspired prophets he Is to make the effort
of his life in responding to the formal notihca-
ton Of his nomination at the Madison Square
Garden tonight and since that day his ex-
istence has been one Of almost continuous travel
ling, speechmaking and handshaking
Little wonder, therefore. that signs of wear and

relief upon the cushions Of the carriage that
was in waiting at DesbrOsses-st ferry to con-
vey them to the house Of Mr.. st. John, the treas

the throng which awaited Mr.. Bryan at Jersey

half an hour of the scheduled time for the ar

GATOR FOR SENATOR.
The San Francisco Disciple OF Populisn
Given the Nomination by Ac-
clamatfOn


SACRAMENTO, CAL, May l3.-After
the adoption of the platform in the Popu-
list Convention nominations for United
States Senator were declared to be in order
and Carleton II. Johnson of San Francisco
took the floor and presented the name of
the Hon. Thomas V. Gator, man whose
record, Mr.. Johnson said. was familiar to
every member of the convention.
81 need not enlarge upon his services to
the party" continued Mr.. Johnson. .'his
qualifications, his virtue and his long and
honorable record, therefore nominate the
unanimous choice of San Francisco-the
Hon. Thomas V. Gator"
The nomination was seconded by D. T..
Fowler of Fresno on behalf of Fresno
County. The speaker explained that
whatever opposition had been heard from
Fresno against the nomination of can
didate for Lieutenant Governor at this
time there had never been a question of
personal opposition in any way. The
speaker paid a high compliment to Mr..
Gator for his distinguished and unseltish
services to the Populist party.
Dillon of Los Angeles, Vann of Colusa,
Wilkins of Santa Clara, j. V. Webster OF
San Luis Obispo, Gladding of Placer, Gay
lor of Tehama and others seconded the

SACRAMENTO. CAL, May 13.-The
work of the Populist State Convention Is
shown in the list above and in the plat
form to be found in another column.
The personnel of the convention was
probably higher in point of ability and in
some other directions than any of its
predecessors. 1t was sufficiently varied to
Kaleidoscope all colors of the political rain
bow 1t contained Populist Sheriff from
Shasta, fifty or sixty Grand Army veter-
ans, a member of the Populist City Board
of Education Of Los Angeles, a clergyman
from the orange belt with stentorian
voice advertising stridently and sonorously
the salubrity of the climate of the sunny
south; a man who drove big-headed hob
nails into the soes of his shoes and walked
from Healdsburg to Sacramento; man
who rode in rickety cart from Lakeport
to the capital, an ex-candidate for Cover
nor; two Populists who wore silk hats-a
dangerous innovation from San Francisco
all earnest men, most of them with
whiskers.
Then there was an ex-socialist leader
and a surprisingly large number of ora
tors, ranging all the way down the gamut
of eloquence from the high of Shasta. a
Mr.. Many-Initialed Murphy, to Fulton OF
Los Angeles, whom the chalrman's ina
bility to recognize worried very much.
Every man on the floor almost seemed to
be natural-born orator, and wanted to
make a speech on almost every subject. 1t
was for this reason that the second and
final days session was protracted toward
the midnight hour. 1t was an enthusias-
tic convention, the cheering and zip-zip of
the delegates being the loudest and most
prolonged when Thomas V. Gator was
nominated for United States Senator.

Shot From Ansbssh White Returning
Home From a Social.
KNOXVILLE, Iowa, May 13.-While
Mamie Peterson, aged 16 years, was re-
turning last night from social gathering,
accompanied by George Shuts of MouIton,
some one stepped from behind building
and fired three shots at her. All three
shots took effect and the young lady died
almost instantly. Shuts claims that he
was too heightened to spread the alarm
and took to his heels. The body was
found this morning and Fred Hemphill of
Unionville was arrested. 1t is supposed
that jealousy prompted the deed.
