lists on the First Ballot by
a Large rIajOrity.
a Large rlajOrity.


ST.. LOUIS, July 25.--The Popu-
list convention, after indulging in
oceans Of talk and floods of song
since Wednesday, settled down to
business today, nominated Bryan,
the democratic nominee, for presi-
dent and adjourned sine die. Sew
all, the democratic nominee for
vice president was turned down
yesterday, and Thomas II; Watson,
Of Georgia, nominated in his stead.
THIS morning was cloudy and
cool and the convention proceeded
to business Immediately upon its
assembling. TIE chairman early
took occasion to express the hope
that the wild and disorderly scenes
of the day before would rot be re-
peated.
Gen. j. r. Weaver made an ear
nest and eloquent appeal for the
nomination, not the mere endorse
ment,, Of Bryan. His appeal was
received with great enthusiasm,
the delegates rising to their feet
and cheering, and banners bearing
the words, "A Crown Of Thorns"
being carried around the hall.
When Virginia was reached
Gen. James Fields seconded the
nomination of Bryan and moved
that the rules be suspended and
Bryan's nomination be made unan-
im0uS.
stump Ashby, of the Lone Star
State, announced that Texas was
ready to endorse Bryan if Bryan
would endorse the PopuIiS5 plat
form.
The roll call was then demanded
md ordered on General Fields mo-
ton to make Bryan the nominee
unanimously. Gen. Fields then
withdrew his motion and the roll
call Of the States On nomination
was resumed. Finally all the nom
nations having been made and sec
onded. the roll call Of the States
was ordered on the ballot to select
Il candidate for President. Only
two names were before the. convex
ton. those Of Bryan and Norton.
The names of Coxey and Debs
were put in nomination but were
Withdrawn by order Of the princi-
pals, The result of the voting was
the nomination Of William Jea-
nings Bryan on the first ballot.
The vote stood; Bryan, 1912;
Norton, 322. The announcement
Of the result was received with |
great cheers and much enthusiasm,
and the convention then adjourned |

A~Warning.

The New York Times was quick
to bolt the Chicago platform and
nominees. but in commenting on
McKinley's declaration that ''re-
cent events have imposed upon the
patriotic people of the country a
responsibility greater than the ely
il war;" it asks:
"\Vby then should not Mr.. Nc
Kinley go a little further and dis
pei the doubts Of many patriots by
saying that, if he should be elect
ed, he would oppose all legislation
brought forward in the interest Of
The silver policy, even il it should
be impossible to enact any revision
Of the tariff without making con-
cessions TO the silver group in the
Senator"
This question should open the
eyes Of all democrats who contem-
plate voting for Mckinley. The
answer to it is chat Mckinley Is a
republican, first, last, and all the
time. The repu blican party is as
much joined to its tariff and other
idols us ever. A republican tri-
umph would mean the carrying out
of all the policies of that party.
The Times question Is a. warning
to dissatisfied democrats against be-
ing swift witnesses for Mckinley.

Bryan's nomination fer President
by the populist convention after he
had declined The nomination be-
cause that convention had nomina-
ted Tom Watson instead Of Sewall
for Vice President was much more
satisfactory to the average demo-
erat than it would have been ur-
der other circumstances. CT course
Mr.. Bryan would moi, even il he
conld,- do anything to prevent the
popuIists votins for him. but their
nominating him after his deClina-
ton will relieve him of obligations
which would otherwise have exist
ed. Bryan would have received the
vote of nearly all the pop0liSts
whether he had been nominated ! y

Unless those who ought to know
are altogether out in their reckon
ing, the nomination of Watson for
Vice-President was one OF those
meaningless thing which are some
times done in politics, Neverthe-
less it is feared that Watson's nom
nation may cause some trouble i'll
several of the Southern States
should there be both democratic and
populist electors put up and voted
for in those States, as now seems
probable, and there is Of coarse a
possibility Of there being trodbla in

Bryan majority be small and the
balance of power be held by Bryan

breasts If both Of them should die

tinctive product of the culinary art.
The superintendent of the factory is one
of these men. He probably knows as
much about preserving fruits and max
ing sauces as any man in the United
States-and maybe more than any other
man.
THE secret of the tomato ketchup
made here is carefully guarded" said
the superintendent. Eve say we nuke
ketchup without the use of chemicals or
coloring matter, and we do it. Salicylic
acid is the standard chemical to pre-
vent fermentation. If you can get gust
the right amount of that perhaps il Is
mot harmful; but the trouble is you
have to use just little too much to
make sure that fermentation will not
set in; and that surplus amour: Of
salicylic acid hinders the natural fer
mentation of food in the stomach. 1t
Us as plain as that two and two make
four.
"Then there is another thing, the
coloring matter. These highly-colored
ketchups that look SO bright are really
not as pleasing to the eye as ketchup
that retains the natural color of the to-
mato, and they certainly are not SO
healthful, for they contain carmine.
Anyone who knows what carmine Is
made of doesn't care to eat it."

OUR NATIONAL SAUCE.
Tomato Ketchup, It's Manufacture
and Adulteration.
II Europeans Want the Real Article They
Have to Come to America for 1t
Visit to q Famous New
Jersey Factory.

New Jersey is the home of the tomato
and especially of the national sauce Of
America, tomato ketchup. Here the
tomato plant attains its highest state Of
perfection and produces fruit SO
luscious, red and round as to justify the
old English name of "love APPLE to
which the French still cling, calling it
pomme damour. The tomato plant be-
ing native of America, and the name
coming from the Indian word "tumatl,"
it is fitting that tomato ketchup should
be on every table in the land, and that
America should furnish the choicest
brands Of the product for the whole
surpassed in this instance; if he wants
real tomato ketchup he must buy 1t in
America
Wide-spreading acres are devoted in
Jersey exclusively to the culture of to-
matoes, the choicest ones of which are
large factories in which ketchup max
ing is the chief industry. A random
visit to one of these factories is enough
to convince the owner of the most jaded
palate that there are favors yet worth
tasting. Tomatoes are put up in nearly
half hundred inconceivable ways, but
chiefly in ketchup. The cooking is
done on scientific principles. The orig
inal recipe for the ketchup produce d,
unlike that of certain famous English
sauce, probably came from an old
woman in the country" but the product
has been so changed and improved by
experiment that the old woman herself
would be forced to admit that she had
not attained the highest rank in her art
The best efforts of at least two men in
one of the factories, says the New York
Tribune, have been devoted to improv
ing the flavor of the ketchup, but the re-
suits of their labors can be obtained by
the general public only in the finished
product. Their processes are carefully
guarded secrets, kept locked up in their

of IS, $50, 900. Aided to the amount,
brought by the A ugusta Victoria
which arrived before the close of ban k
ing hours on Friday, the total for the

1t is believed that the bulk OF these

serve by Tuesday, it is believed, will
stand at about s106,000,000. Incom-

Republican newspapers are COM
menting freely upon the smallness OF
the Democratic vote al last week s
election, and some of them treat the
matter humorously, for example Har-
ris' Weekly says:
Gov. Woodbury. might well issue a
proclamation offering a general am
nesty and free pardon to whatever
democrats may yet be lurking in out
of-the-.way places. Anyway, they
had better come in and surrender and
take their chances. The war is over.
1t is rumored that there are few
democrats left in this vicinity, and it
is said that there are three or four
more wandering around in the woods
northeast of here. The remnant
should be protected by an amend
ment to the game laws this fall.
The brethren seem to forget that
the Democratic vote, at the recent
election, was not cast in way to be
easily tabulated. Some of them vo-
ted at home while others cast their
blllots for circuit. Democrats did
not vote for jackson.
