CANDIDATES NAMED.
SIX MEN WHO WISH TO HEAD
THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
Bland, Bryan, rIatthews, Boies,
Blackburn and r1cLean Placed
in Nomination.

CHICAGO, July 9-The masses of
spectators at the evenings session was
large and the excitement more intense
than at any previous session, because
the crisis of the nominating speeches
had arrived. There was not a vacant
seat outside of the sections of the DEL
eeates and alternates at $ o'clock, the
hour to which the convention adjourned.
and the crowds kept pouring in as
though the supply of tickets was mex
haustible and the capacity Of the hall
could not be put to too severe a test.
The illumination by arc lamps was per-
feet, but the heat sitting
The New York delegation held a eau
Gus before coming to the convention hall
and discussed the best steps to be taken
In this evenings programme 1t was
decided to come to the hall and take
their seats, but not to take part in the
balloting. They also decided not to bolt
the convention.
The convention was called to order at
$50 p. m. by its presiding officer, SEN
ator White of California, who immedi-
ately handed over the gavel to Repre-
sentative Richardson of Tennessee, who
acted as presiding officer pro tenn this
evening, as well as during the day ses-
sion
1t took the Sergeant-at-Arms and his
assistants fully ten minutes to ailay the
uproar and confusion and to obtain even
a tolerabie degree of order, and even
that lasted for only very brief inter-
val, for every moment, on one pretense
or another, the crowds broke out with
cheering.
The Chairman informed the conven-
tion that the roll of States would now be
called and the nominations of candi-
dates for President made. By an agree
mcnt entered into by the friends of the
several candidates, the Chairman added
the nominating and seconding speeches
would be confined to thirty minutes in
length, which time might be used either
when the nominations were made on
when the State of the speaker was
called.

And / now, therefore, in pursuance
of the instructions of the united De-
mocracy of our State. expressed in con-
vention. and of the unanimous action
of the delegates here present. do in all
confidence place in nomination as cam
didate for the Presidency the name of
Claude Matthews of Indiana"
While the Senator was making his
remarks there was constant passing
of people to and fro along the aiSles,
whistling and cat calls and great con-
fusion. A voice in the north gallery
shouted: Il name Cleveland" and
cheers for Cleveland We're called for
and given.
The Senator resumed, undiSmayed,
though his voice was inaudible three
feet from where he stood
Hon. Oscar Trippett of California was
next presented to second the nomination
of Governor Matthews.
SPECTATORS CALLED TO ORDER.
AS soon as Trippett took the floor the
uproar was so great that he could not
be heard. An attempt was made to re-
store order and the Sergeant-atArms
addressed the audience, saying: Ladies
and gentlemen: L want your attention
for few moments. l want to say that
the Chairman of this convention desires
that l shall announce to you that unless
there is perfect order Geers) the con-
vention will go on without any specta-
tors. The delegates will be protected
by the police, and the audience will not
be permitted to come into the hall. Now
keep order" tShouts of laughter)
The Chairman added to the speech OF
the Sergeant-at-A that no one
would be admitted to the hall tomorrow
except delegates and alternates. (Deris-
i've shouts of ''Good.'o
Order" the Chairman commanded
and he lectured the spectators, remind
ing them that they were the guests OF
the convention and should keep quiet SC
that the business of the convention
might be transacted quietly.
Mr. Martin of Kansas indulged in
some playful ridicuie of the efforts OF
the Chairman and Scrgeant-atArms tC
maintain order, and said that if the
same diSrespect which was shown to
Senator Turpie were repeated toward
other speakers he would move to ad-
| journ the convention until tomorrow
when it would be seen whether the Off
GERS could protect the convention.

WILLIAM j. BRYAN.
Lewis of Georgia Places the Me-
braSkan in Nomination.

When Georgia was called H. T. Lewis
OF that State came to the platform and
put in nomina ton William j. Bryan of
Nebraska, saying that if public office
was reward for public services no
man merited such a reward more than
he. In the late political contests Bryan
stood among his peers like Saul among
the lSraeliteS, head and shoulders above
all the rest.
Honor him with the nomination." he
said, land you will do credit to the
party and earn for yourselves the plau-
dts of your constituents and the thanks
of posterity."
A scene which was almost a duplica-
tion of that which attended the nominal
ton of Bland was enacted when Bryan's
name was proposed to the convention.
The delegates from Georgia, North Car
olina, Louisiana, Nebraska, Michigan
and Mississippi rallied around the
spear-shaped guidons which bore the
names Of their States and indicate their
position on the floor. All the silver del
egates arose and joined in vociferous
shouting and waving of hats, news
papers and every wavable object upon
which they could lay their hands The
minutes.
T. F. Klutz of North Carolina second
ed the nomination of Bryan. He spoke
of him as that young giant of the West,
that friend of the people, that champion
of the oppressed, that apostle and
prophet of this great crusade for finan-
cial reform. HE can poll" he added,
every Democratic vote in every section
<.f =;
man can, and more than that, he can
poll more votes from persons of differ
ent political persuasions and do more to
unite the friends of silver than all of
them put together" (Cheers.)
Mr.. Bryan's nomination was also Sec
onded by George Fred Williams Of Mas
sachusetts, who said:
''The State Of Georgia requested me
to add voice to it's wish in this conven-
ton. AS we are about to crown a lead
er of the agricultural movement which
has given new life and hope to the De-
mocracy, let me offer as new sign and
token the golden sheaf of Nebraska S
waving grain. We want the strength
of youth for the hardship Of a new cam
paign; a heart which burns with the
fire of purpose; young arm to WELD
the mighty sword of an indignant peO-
pie; new sympathy for new woes; un-
failing vigor in desperate contest; a
young giant out Of the loins Of a giant
republic We want no Napoleon to rise
to despotic throne under the mantle of
liberty, but a new Cicero against the
Catilnes of to-day. Without his knowl-
edge and against his wish I present the
name Of William j. Bryan of Ne
braska."
Thomas J. Herman Of Louisiana also
made a seconding speech in favor of
Bryan.

CLAUDE MATTHEWS.
Placed Before the Convention by Sen.
ator Turpie of Indiana.

Senator David Turpie of Indiana arose
to nominate Governor Matthews of that
State, but was so indistinctly heard that
cries of Louder" were raised and the
Chairman explained that the Senator's s
voice was weak and asked indulgence.
Mr.. Turpie spoke as follows:
"Mr President and Gentlemen of the
Convention: The choice of a candidate
for the Presidency by the National
Democratic Convention, of one who is
to be the Chief Magistrate of this coun-
try for the next official term, of a sue
cessor to the many illustrious states
men of our political faith who have
served in that exalted position, so cas-
lily becomes the subject of glowing zeal
and fancy that the act and duty of Sc
lection are prone to be obscured by the
glamour of the theme. Yet we ought to
realize that the result is plain ques-
ton of arithmetic, depending upon a
simple count of numbers, and that for
many other reasons our action herein
should be determined only by the most
rigid scrutiny and by the most careful
calculation.
I'VE ask, then, as practical men,
where should this nomination be
placed? Indiana has long been known
as the area of the most severe and
closely fought political contests. 1t is
a member of the great Democratic
phalanx of the North, including New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut but
strangely isolated, it has stood alone.
Upon the east and west and upon the
north we have, ordinarily, hostile bor-
,irit ND n
even upon the south the migration to
us across. 1.-THE waters of the Ohio, which
occurs regularly in the Presidential
year, is usually of such complexion as
only to give aid and comfort to the
enemy In a State so nearly balanced
that for years there has not been in a
Presidential election a majority either
way of 10000 in total vote of four or
five hundred thousand, the conditions
require that our Democracy stand al
ways embattled, whether awaiting vic
tory or defeat. always prepared.
I'VE submit to the delegations from
the great States of Tennessee, of Geor-
gia, of Mississippi and others more
certainly situated as to their political
life and progress, what would you give,
what would you not give. to make this
State as certain as your own? How
and when shall you help us to send
you the message in November next of
victory? This is the place, the time is
now to write that message. You can
write that message to-day ready for
transmission, if your favor shall make
the man of our choice the nominee of
this convention. Survey the field. ex-
anime it's various positions. throw the
searchlight of inspection upon the stat

find that Indiana is the strategic point

Denies Statements rIade Concerning
-: Her Present Injuries.
,4.ALondon dispatch Of last Sunday says,
Mrs Della Stewart Parnell, mother Of
the late Charles s. Parnell, was inter-
viewed at Bray, Ireland, relative to a
story published in certain American
newspapers to the effect that Mrs. Par
nell was aware Of the identity of the
person who made murderous assault
upon, her in April Of last year; that she
had been afraid to disclose the name
while she was in the United States, but
that, now that she was in foreign coun-
try, she was prepared to name the. assa.l-
ant, and that he had been actuated by
political motives. Mrs. Parnell denied
all these assertions.
The venerable lady, when seen at
Bray, said that she still felt the i'll effects
OF the accident that had befalle1 her on
shipboard while crossing the Atlantic
a fall.
She explained that the assault made
upon her at Bordentown, N. j., had been
reported by bits and scraps in the Amer
icah newspapers. At the time Of the oc-
currence, or Immediately afterwards, she
was unable to remember clearly what
had occurred, but she was emphatic in
saying that she was then, as we'll as now,
ignorant Of the identity OF her assailant.

she explained made her unconscious.

BELDEN ON DIVORCE.

Judge, Belden has taken a stand in the
matter OF granting divorces and in such q
way, too, as to astonish the attorneys. This
seems remarkable, for anything that will
astonish attorneys in the matter Of divorce
must be Of rare order indeed. Ths
judge, however, raises the point that be-
cause wives of foreign-born citizens who
remain in the old country-even refusing
to follow their husbands-is not sufficient
Of itself. to constitute desertion. This
opinion will have tendency Of checking
the numerous divorces that have been OBJ
tanned, for men who live on this side Of
the Atlantic while their wives are in their
native land. The Judge says:
II think there may be question as to
whether the simple refusal OF wife to
leave her own country and go to another
with her husband, constitutes desertion.n
