Republicans Applaud the
Nomination,


LOS ANGELES, CAL, July 10-The
nomination of Bryan at Chicago to-day
seems to give great satisfaction to the rank
and file of Democrats in this city, but
what is somewhat surprising is that Popu-
lists and bimetallists are equally delighted
with the nomination and 90 not hesitate
to express the opinion that Bryan will re-
ceive the Endorsement of their parties at
st. Louis on the 22d inst.
CALL correspondent met Hons Enoch
Pepper and ]. T. Savage, both Populistic-
silver leaders, soon after the announce
ment of Bryan's nomination, and asked
them what they thought of it. Pepper
replied:
''It is capital nomination, from the.
standpoint of Populists and free-silver
men. Bryan is an able and aggressive
young man and one of the first and most
eloquent defenders of the white metal
Support him? OF course 1 can, with
heart and SOUL"
Mr.. Savage, who listened to these re-
marks, added: eyes, Bryan is really
Populist anyway, and will without doubt
get the st. Louis Endorsement"
Colonel John r. Berry, delegate at-large
to the bimetallists' convention at st.
Louis, said: ut is the best thing Demo-
Gratis could have done. Bryan is an able
and courageous champion of the white
metal and will unquestionably be Endorsed
by the free-silver men at st. Louis. While
l was sure he would be acceptable to the
bimetallists am surprised to learn that
both wings of the Populists here are for
the silver-tongued orator of the Platte''
Hubbard and Love, silver men and dele
gates to the bimetallist convention, are
delighted with Bryan's nomination.
PORTLAND, Or, July 10.-The news of
Bryan's nomination was hailed by bull
letin-board crowds with manifestations of
Joy, and the concensus OF opinion among
Democrats is that he is the ideal candi-
date" Napoleon Davis, secretary of the
Democratic State Central Committee, said
to United Press representative tonight:
'In my opinion no nomination has ever
been made by the Democratic party that
will give such universal satisfaction to the
rank and file of the Democracy as that of
w. J. Bryan, and especially to the
younger mem bers of the party. Already
here in Oregon there is an evidence of.
enthusiasm that has never been called
forth by the nomination of any other can
didate. Young men of all parties agree
that Bryan is an ideal candidate and
man who, if elected to the position for
which he has been nominated, would
recognize the young men of the Nation as
no other man has ever done.''
while the Democracy of Oregon is dis
appointed in that Ex-Governor Pennoyer
did not receive the nomination, it feels
that it could not have fallen to any other
man more acceptable than Bryan as a Sec
ond choice"

faction by Democrats and silver men of
