PLENTY OF ELOQUENCE.
All Kinds OF Speeches Made During
the Closing Hours OF the
Convention.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, July 25.-The conven-
ton was called to order by the permanent
chairman, Senator Allen, at $40. After
prayer by the Rev. Mr.. Kent of Washing.
ton the chairman repeated his ruling OF
last night, that the amendment adopted
by the convention giving the nomination
of q Vice-President preference over the
nomination OF a President made the selec.
ton of National Committeeman the next
order of business.
J. K. Burnett of California protested
that this was not so, and contended that
the convention simply transposed the
nomination of ice-President and Presi-
dent.
The chairman replied that the gentle
mans statement of fact was entirely mis-
taken, and went ON with the naming OF
National Committeeman. When this was
completed he called next for committees
on notification.
The chairman announced that the next
order of business was nominations for
President.
Mr.. Green OF Nebraska got on the plat
form to make a motion and a speech. The
latter was to the effect that this was one
Vi AllC uOob III POIbd4b conventions Indt
ever assembled on American soil, as it was
to name man who was not only to head
the ticket, but who was to be elected.
At this point the speech was interrupted
by points of order, which irritated Mr..
Green to the extent OF making him leave
the stand. He was, however, induced to
come back, and the rules were suspended
to enable him to go on in order. He de-
clared, however, that his self-respect
would prevent him from saying anything.
and he retired for good.
Alabama being called, George Gather of
that State, addressing his brother, 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 came forward and was pre-
sented by the chairman. Mr.. Weaver
opened his speech with the remark that
the condition of the Peoples party this
morning was most "critical" He had
but two aspiratlons-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 use in every portion of
the country.
he assumed that all delegates had read
in the papers this morning the telegram
from Mr.. Bryan declining to accept the
nomination of the Peoples party disasso-
ciated from Mr.. Sewall.
mo man." said Mr.. Weaver. "could
have done less and be q man. Mr.. Bryan's
attitude challenges the respect of every
delegate present, and of every man who
reads the proceedings of this convention.
But" he continued. "this is a greater
question than the personality of our can
didate. After l read Mr.. Bryan's tele-

BRYAN Is NOMINATED.
But the National Committee Has
Power to Put Up a New
Ticket If Necessary.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-. July 25.-The National
Convention of the Peoples party, after
four days of heat, turmoil and unlimited
oratory, completed its labors at 4:40 this
afternoon and adjourned sine die.
Notwithstanding the receipt of one or
more kilograms from w. J. Bryan, declin-
ing to permit the use of his name on the
Populist ticket unless Arthur Sewall, his
associate on the Chicago ticket, was in
dorsed, Mr.. Bryan was put in for the
Presidential nominee, as originally con-
templated by General Weaver of Iowa,
and was seconded by one or more spokes-
men from every State and Territory with
about ten exceptions and on ballot re-
ceived i042 votes against 321 for Colonel
Norton of Chicago, who at the last mo-
ment was selected SIS the candidate of the
unreconstr ucted middle-of-the-road ele-
ment.
1t was the intention Of this faction early
in the morning to place Eugene V. Debs
IN nomination and thus force the labor
issue to the front, but Debs telegraphed
declining to serve, and his telegram was
respected. Strenuous efforts were made
without avail by Ignatius Donnellg and
others to obtain some kind of an assurance
that Mr.. Bryan would accept the nomina-
ton and stand upon the platform. The
permanent chairman, Senator Allen OF
Nebraska, admitted that he had received
some kind of telegram from Mr.. Bryan,
but he said he had paid no attention TO it
He also said he had received one supposed
to be from Governor Stone, but would not
open it until he reached his home in Ne
braska.
Before adiourniug the convention
adopted resolution clothing the National
Com mittee with plenary powers to do
anything and everything which the con-
vention itself might have done if in ses-
sion This, of course, would authorize it
to take down the names of either Mr..
Bryan or Mr.. Watson or both, if neces.
sary, and to construct an entirely new
ticket.
The National Committee was enlarged
so as to consist of three members from
each State and Territory. But naturally
the power conferred upon this cumb brou:
body will eventually be lodged in al
executive committee of more managea Die
size.
| A noticeable feature of the last moments
| of the convention was the fact that though
the result of the ballot for President wa!
announced, it was not followed up by any
declaration on the part of the chair that
Mr.. Bryan had been duly chosen the can
didate of the Peoples party for President
of the United States.
The convention separated in bad humor
many of the delegates openly denouncine
the ticket as theatrical" one. 1t, how,
ever, met the unqualified approval of Mrs
Lease of Kansas (whose name, usually
printed as Mary Ellen" was officially
stated to be MARY EiIzabeth"). In ar
impassioned address she assured the dele
gates that they had risen to the grandeur
of the occasion and had done honor to the
party and to themselves.

Underhand Work of the Democratic
Trickstsrs to Be Rebuked by
Straight Ticket.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-. July 25.-The Demo
Gratis succeeded in forcing Bryan upon
the Populist convention with the aid oi
traitorOus leaders, but there will be q
straight ticket in the field.
Half an hour before the result of the
vote was announced Bryan wired to
Jones of Arkansas that he would de-
cline the nomination, because he would
not consent to run on a ticket that repu-
dated his colleague, Natiopal Banker
SewaII. This dispatch was kept secret
from the convention.
MiddIe-of-the-road men held caucus
last night aud learned of the treachers
and the fraud that had been practiced
upon them. They were indignant and
will repudiate the ticket.

her husband had been nominated, she
leaned back in her seat and tears OF
Joy gently coursed down her cheeks.
A few feet from her sat girl not
one whit less interested in the result
than the wife of the young Nebraska
lawyer and editor. Miss Fannie Bland,
the daughter of the Missouri candi-
date, has deep and tender affection
for her father. She watched the bal
loting with a tense face, and
every emotion she experienced found
expression in her eyes and manner
As her father slowly went down to
defeat, and on the ruins of his hopes
rose the monument to Bryan, the girl
dropped and showed her despair.
When the wife of the victor sob
bed out her Joy. the daughter of the
vanquished fell back in her seat with
a face so deathly pale, and her whole
air so utterly heart-brolten that those
around her imagined she was going
to faint. Her friends covered her with
sympathetic words. A moment she
showed her keen appointment, the
disappointment born of her great love
for her father, then she rallied. With
an effort she pulled herself together,
and during the rest of the proceedings
sat a quiet and unmoyed spectator of
the scene.

AFTER THE NCmlNATlCN.
A Picture of Pran and His Wife the
Next Morning.

The Chicago Tfmes-Herald gave this
picture of the Democratic nominee for
the Presidency and his wife ON the
morning after the nomination:
Mr. Bryan went back to his room
and Mrs Bryan. He stood with his
arm about her and told of the pleasure
he had had with the crowd. Judge
Edgar Howard. the original Bryan
man. was at his side. and there was a
lull for minute in the greetings. The
dark hall outside was vacant and the
policeman had no one to boss. This
lull was only a warning. and with a
rush there came a delegation Of travel
ing men TO seek admission. They
were few in number and they came
into the little room. They were well
coined by Mrs. Bryan and welcomed
over again by Mr.. Bryan. They left
and were followed by group Of
colored men. The next lot was one
of women. with their girls. TO look
upon she who may rule the White
House. messenger brought a box
of oolden-rod. & bevy of working
girls arrived as 4 deputation Of dele

tions for campaign work. 4 man with

memorable figure should she be called

She met the men with diplomats ut
