BRAGG WILL RUN.
Willing to be the Candidate of the
Wisconsin Gold Democrats
for Governor.

Chicago, ILL.,, July 11.-At the confer
ence last night of the Wisconsin gold
delegates Gen. E. S. Bragg formally de-
clared that, if it We're required of him,
he would stand as the Democratic can
didate for governor of Wisconsin this
fall. Gen. Bragg feels deeply the hui
initiation of the attitude in which the
Chicago convention has placed the sound
money Democrats and he is willing to
make any personal sacrifice in the in
terest of the true Democracy of Wis
consin. He said he regretted that he
was not 40 years of age. instead of
his present years. in which event he
would guarantee to make a speech in
every town in the state.
The majority of the Wisconsin dele
gates to the convention will make a
written statement to their constituents,
telling exactly what they did at Chicago
and why they did it, and Gen. Bragg
will explain their attitude throughout in
several speeches to be made in the state
during the next few weeks.

BADGERS FIGHT TO THE END
Gen. Bragg Looking for the Wis
consin Standard which Had
Been Stolen.

Chicago, Ill, July 11.-[Special THE
fight in the Wisconsin delegation contin-
ued to thrust itself upon the convention
to the end. 1t caused scene last night
that brought forth Kisses for Gen.
Bragg, one of the idols of the party.
During the Bryan demonstration in the
afternoon the enthusiastic followers of
the Nebraska man formed into line and
marched around the hall. carrying the
standards of their respective states above
their heads. Wisconsin had cast only
five votes for Bryan, but e. J. Dockery,
Selling the standard, joined the process
sion, marching at the end of the line.
The other gold states kept their stand
ards lowered and it was the intention Of
the Wisconsin gold men to keep theirs
down. Mr.. Dockery's action incensed
Gen. Bragg very much.
When the convention reconvened in
the evening Gen. Bragg took the plat
form and made an explanation in which
he said that the banner had been stolen
away from the delegation and was not
rightfully in the line. He made the eX-
PLANTATION, he said, to set the state right
before the country.
Without using his name the general
was very severe on Mr.. Dockery and
that gentleman followed him to the plat
form to reply. The general remained
standing and it looked as though there
was going to be q sensational scene. The
chairman. however, put an end to it by
paying neat compliment to Gen. Bragg
by way of preface to Il declaration that
he could not allow the time of the con-
vention to be consumed by the quarrel Of
the members of any delegation.

FRANK HURD DEAD.
Ohio's Great Free Trade Advocate
Passes Away at To-
ledO.

Toledo, O., July 10.-Frank Hurd died
at a few minutes before 8 o'clock this
morning. His death was caused by sew
eral strokes of apopleXy, the first oc-
curing at o'clock yesterday afternoon
This was followed by others in rapid
succession. Ten days ago he was taken
with a slight case of dysentery, which
made it necessary for him to remain in
his room. It was not considered dan
gerous, however, and he gained rapidly
from the effect of the attack.
Mr. Hurd's death occurred at his
room in the Body house. There were
present at the time Mr.. and Mrs. Robert
Clark and Henry Curtis of Mount Yer
non, O., and four physicians of this city
Mrs. Clark is a sister of Mr.. Hurd. The
only other surviving relative is Mrs.
John Deleno, granddaughter of Column
bus Deleno of Mount Vernon, O. Mr.
Hurd was unconscious for several hours
prior to his death.
There will be special services tomor-
row forenoon at st. Francis de Sales
church, this city, after which special
train will carry the body to Mount Yer
non, wnere services VIII be held and
where the remains will be inferred.
Frank Hurd was born on Christmas
day, 1910, and the proverbial good for
tune accompanying such a day of advent
into the world was his by inheritance
and by political conqest. His was a red
hot Democratic enthusiasm; so decided.
in fact, was he in his outspoken views
on the tariff that such was partly the
cause of his defeat for Congress in 1885.
When the book. the Money Makers"
made its appearance Hurd. with others,
was accredited with its authorship as an
answer to the other similar anonymous
publication entitled the Bread Win
ners." However Hurd did net deserve
the credit of the work, but his eloquence
IN the halls of Congress and his populari-
ty with his fellows was not in the least
discounted by virtue of the loss of this
literary honor. He was one of the few
"student-good fellows in Congress.
wealthy. probably one of the richest men
in Toledo, having inherited a large for
tune from his father with a large pro-
portion OF good nature thrown in. If
Hnrd's voice had been needed in 1877
Hayes would not have been counted in.
He led that faction OF the Democrats
who ignored the work of the electoral
con- mission. And he and his filibuster-
ing allies would have won had not Sam
Randall violated a technicality of the
rules and refused to recognize them any
longer.
There are 372 new cases of cholera
in Egypt and 272 deaths.

BRYAN AND SEWALL.
The Democratic Presidential
Ticket.
Stand on a Free Silver Platform---Story OF
the Convention.

Chicago, ILL.,, July 1O.-William Jen-
nings Bryan of Nebraska, young clas-
sic-featured orator from the plains of the
Platte, swept the convention off its feet
today, and was nominated for President
on the fifth ballot.
Political history furnishes no precedent
for tOday's proceedings in the Coliseum,
either as a great spectacular show, or IS
the result of the deliberations of the con-
ventlon of a great political party.
Bryan is only SO years old, younger by
ten years than any man ever nominated
for the chief magistracy of the Ameri-
can republic. He came like a young
Lochinvar out of the West, which has
never before nominated a presidential
candidate, to WOO the bride for whose
hand the country's greatest chieftains
have been suitors. His name was bare
ly mentioned in the preliminary Skin

Chicago, ILL.,, July 11-Four men

the cashier at the point of revolvers
and made way with the cash box con-
tanning $4,000. They made good their
escape.
The office is at Morgan and Randolph

series of similar bold robberies IN Chi
cago within the past few weeks.

TAUBENECk WILL NOT TALK
Positively Refuses to Discuss Con-
templated Action of the
PopuliStS.

st. Louis, Mo-, July 11.-When seen
by a representative of the Associated
press, chairman II. T. Taubeneck of the
Populist national committee refused pos
itively to discuss Mr.. Bryan's nominal
ton.
4 have made up my mind to say moth
ing for publication he remarked.
And you cannot tell us whether Mr.
Bryan will be an acceptable candidate
to the Peoples party?"
Il can tell you nothing. Our national
committee meets on the 22d and you will
hear enough from us then"
