Bryan Nominated.

Ex-senator Patrick Walsh spoke when
Georgia was called, announcing that the
delegation had soiUctcd Colonel T. Lewis
to nominate the man for whom Georgin
would vote. No one knew whom Mr.. Low
is Intended to name. The elements Of un-
certainty ciouding his purpose gave him a
close hoaring. In an eloquent speech he
presented the name Of William J. Bryan
Of Nebraska. The words exploded another
mine of the same fiery sort which the No
braskan had inlaIned with his OWL ora
tory few hours before. Three or four
delegations were on their chairs leading
the cheering, with the lungs of scattering
delegates from other states abetting them.
Nebraska seemed TO furnish tho galleries
with a hero, for they were making the
great chorus of the noise The blue ban-
ner with the placard William j. Bryan
Club of Nebraska, 10 TO 1, - emblazoneu
in silvor letters, was lifted above Nebras-
ka's seats. The standards Of Georgia,
North Carolina, louisiana Michigan and
South Dakota rallied around the blue and
silver emblem, and then the standard
bearers started march around the pit
Some OF the California and Virginia stalls
pounced upon their emblems intending
to follow the procession, but their col
leagues resisted the attack, and they gave

a foghorn was blown with a tremendous

partially restored, w. G. Clutz Of North
Carolina, a young orator of strong voice,
took the platform In behalf of ''that young
| giant Of the west, that champion Of the
lowly, William !. Bryan of Nebraska.
He was followed by George Fred viii
| linms of Massachusetts, who seconded the
nomination OF Bryan.
"Wc want "a young giant, out of the loins

the galleries.

awoke a howl al the exponso of the Repub-
ncan candidate. and "a new Cicero to
mcot the new Catalines" was recognized
as an apt comparison.
Thomas J, Keernan, on behalf OF Louis
lam, also seconded the nomination in d
strong speech. In the course Of his speech

The senator's closing words were the
signal for another Bland demonstration,
this time long, loud and enthusiastic. A
banner bearing the well known face OF
Silver Dick was holstod IN the middle
aisle The convention rose en- masse, mon
oheered and waved hats and handerchiofs.
From every quarter of the hall Bland
banners made their appearance some bear

yoicing the "invincible and irrepressiblo'

Meanwhile the wild clamor continued.
One man far up among the spectators

PARADES ABANDONED.
Both Republicans and Democrats o
Chicago Decide to Keep Quiet.

Chicago. Oct. 25.-The two big politi-
cal parades arranged for next Satur-
day night have both been abandoned.
The Republicans had secured a permit
to parade on the south side. and the
Democrats were granted a similar ia
vor on the west side. Both wanted to
march over the same route and the
Democrats applied to the courts for
an injunction to prevent the police
from interfering with their parade on
the south side. This was refused. Then
the Republicans decided to call off
their parade to prevent clashes be-
tween the two bodies. 1t is said they
even offered to turn over their permit
to the Democrats, but the latter de-
clined to accept such favor from their
opponents and declared their parade
also abandoned.
Last nights demonstrations. are
therefore, the last Of their kind in the
present campaign.

ENTERTAINED AUSTINITES.

Marble Falls, Tex, May 14.-(Special.l
Capt. A. n. Leitnaker, in his special
car, visited us yesterday. He was ac-
companied by Mrs. Leitnaker and six
teen others of the fairest of Austin's Ia
dies. "Uncle George" Roper met them
at the depot and conveyed the party in
carriages to the Roper house, where a
sumptuous dinner had been prepared,
which was relished and praised by his
fair guests with a heartiness that was
genuine. After several hours spent in
viewing the sights and scenery at Marble
Falls the party was taken to Granite
mountain, where an hour was spent in
viewing this interesting work of nature
ere their departure for home.
Such guests are always welcome, and
we hope to see them again some day.
Our school commencement exercises
begin today and promise to be very in
teresting, as unusual interest is mani
tested. The pupils of the high school
presented the principal, Professor w.
HI. Bruce, this morning, handsome gold
chain, as a token of their esteem and ap-
probation. This very properly expresses
the general feeling towards Professor
Bruce in this place.
