DENT.
Senator Jones Of Arkansas moved that
the convention proceed to the nomina-
ton of candidates for Vice-PreSldent,
and the motion was agreed to.
George Fred Williams of Massachu-
setts was put in nomination by Mr..
OSullivan, delegate from that State.
Mr.. O'Sullivan said in part: This con-
vention has nominated man who has
sprung from the loin OF the people. Now
that you have given a platform to the
South and West, carry the war into
Africa and give to the East a candidate
for the Vice-Presidency. l nominate a
man from Massachusetts,, who has the
courage of his convictions, and who
came out for free silver against an al
most unanimous public sentiment.
Gentlemen, the war is over. If you
want to answer that sullen delegation
from New York (pointing to where the
New York delegates saD, come to the
East for your candidate for Vice-Presi-
dent. Nominate a man who was gold
man, but who saw the error of his ways,
and whose voice has often been raised
against cOrporations-Geo Frederick
Williams Of Massachusetts" (Cheers)
Mr.. Marsden of Louisiana took the
platform and said: Il want to name to
you a wheel-horse to keep this young
colt in the traces. He is a thorough
bred, and therefore we should take all
the better care Of him. The man /
shall name comes from a pivotal State.
Who is the wheel-horse, and which is
hn yaix fol % 70 oh n al n n
Ohio is that man, and Ohio is that piv-
otal State. (Cheers.) Give US Mclean
and we will sweep the country
Mr.. Maloney of Washington State,
standing in the aisle, said: In the
name of the State of Washington, I
place in nomination our honest son,
James Hamilton Lewis"
Hon. j. H. Currie of North Carolina
was next introduced He said he de-
sired to name a man whose fame was
not confined to one State, but extended
all over this broad land, man re-
vered and honored in his own State
and all over the country where he was
known. In the last election he was
nominated on the Democratic ticket for
the high position of Supreme Judge of
North Carolina, and received the votes
OF all parties, Republicans and Popu-
lists included. He closed by naming
Judge Walter Clark.
The Chairman, in presenting the next
speaker said of him: Il had the honor
Of serving in two Congresses with him.
l saw him there when the Wilson tariff
bill was under consideration, and al
though he stood on the floor and ad-
mitted he knew of the steel trust, as it
is called, to control the manufacture of
steel rails, and although he was en-
gagged in an occupation which derived
an immense profit from that trust, he
had the honesty to contend and vote
that steel rails be put upon the free
list. (Cheers) 1 present to you big
hearted, honest, brave Tom Johnson of
Ohio" (Cheers)
Here Thomas Johnson took the stage
and put in nomination George w. Fifth
ian of Illinois, saying of him: He has
been six years in Congress, and his ac-
ton and his every vote there places him
in accord with your platform He has
the merit which / think is absolutely
necessary for the Vice-Presidency He
is not a wealthy man. This fight will
have to be one by the people, by the
men who are interested in humanity.
II it is to be race between money and
men, money will be on the other side.
for the moneyed men of the Democratic
party have mostly gone to Mckinley.
| am not a free silver man. I do not
believe in free silver, but do believe
that the Democratic party has started
great revolution for the good Of the
people; but for free silver (Which think
is wrong), you have inaugurated a
movement for the good of humanity.
and therefore / am with you heartily.
Applause) Make not the mistake of
thinking you can buy anybody with
money. 1t will kill the ticket before the
people Mr.. Fithian is from Illinois. He
comes from a State that is pivotal. and
| hope to God that you will nominate
him"
Hon. M. w. Miller of Oregon said he
rose to place in omination a man who
had been twice the Governor of the
great State of Oregon as the Demo-
cratic nominee. Notwithstanding that
the State was 10000 Republicans man
recently elected Mayor Of the great me-
tropolis of the Northwest-ex-Goye
sylvester Pennoyer. Faint applause
When he was Governor of Oregon. y
continued Miller, ''the railroad compa-
nles had trouble with their men, and he
went upon the scene of action and he
said to the corporations: PAY YOUR men
and you will have no more trouble.
They paid their men, and he did not call
out the militia. (Cheers.) He is in
hearty sympathy with labor. and all the
great labor organizations of this coun-
try viii indorse him. I appeal to you
to recognize the Pacific Coast and NOM
