Some have sought to find in the NOM

not a candidate, q parallel with Bry-
ans nomination to-day. But there Is
no parallel Garfield was only nominat-
ed after one OF the hardest and most
protracted convention contests OF the
century. Grant. Blaine. Edmunds,
Sherman and Washburne were then
contesting for mastery, and after 30
ballots the rival leaders and the con-
vention turned to Garfield, who had
electrified the delegates by his match
less oratory and commanding presence.
To-day the support of other candidates
simply melted away and Bryan won
without a struggle.
On the fifth and last ballot Bryan
went over Illinois and other states
came tumbllng along In her wake.
When Ohio was reached Bryan had if6
votes of the 504 required to make a
two thirds majority Of those voting.
Chairman White had ruled that two of
those voting constituted the two thirds
majority under the rule. Ohio hesFtat-
ed. Friends of Mclean saw the end
was in sight and Mclean himself
mounted chair. He withdrew his
name as candidate and cast the i6
votes of Ohio for Bryan. This gave
him 1872. IL less than enough to nomi-
nate. Montana changed her six votes
to Bryan and Oklahoma followed with
her six. To the territory Of Oklahoma,
therefore, belongs the honor OF noni-
mating the democratic candidate for
president in 1896, as TO that of Arizona
belonged the honor four years ago, or
course, the other states then scrambled
over each other.
1he bay Il Cool on the Start.
The day opened with a continuance
of the cool weather which has attended
the convention from the start. Chair
man White and other executive officers
conferred early in the day as to the
desirabiity of closing the doors against
the unruly crowd in case of a reptition
of the disorder and discourtesy of last
night when Senator Turpie. Senator
Vest and others, who made nominating
speeches. battled in vain against a con-
fused murmur of hurrahs and cat calls
While there was a disposition to check
the expression OF exuberant feeling at
proper moments. yet there was deter
mination not to permit to take absolute
control of the convention and prevent
the transaction of business.
The rush at the doors was greater
than at any time previous during the
session. As the balloting was about to
begin. II was felt one of two conditions
would be shown. either the enthusiastic
element would dominate and swing
delegations into line with one accord.
or else conditions would be shown
which would make a protracted dead
lock inevitable. The Bryan forces Were
making the most Of the phenomenal
rise of the young orator from Nebraska.
The adjournment at midnight had CIV
| en- the leaders OF other candidates an
| opportunity to rally their forces. and
Il served also TO give hours in which
| cool counsel could prevail against the
wave Of sentiment which was at high
tide last night.

MOVE The OLD BRIDGE
An Old Landmark Comes to the
Beginning Of the End.
Work Begun on It's Removal
Last Evening.
Today Tt Is Torn Apart in Sections
and Part of It Is on It's New Piers.

The work Of moving the Kansas river
bridge to its temporary foundation was
commenced last evening and the south
span was in place at L o'clock last
night. Superintendent Hinclzley thinks
that the work Of moving the structure
viii be completed by tomorrow after
noon.
The bridge was closed to travel at
O'Clock last evening and a policeman
stationed at either end kept teams from
driving on the bridge after that hour.
Workmen We're at once put to work
and at 10 o'clock men with crow bars
began to pry the heavy iron span. Tt
moved slowly but in an hour it was in
place. The men then began work on
the second span but it was nearly noon
before they We're ready to start it to-
ward its new foundation.
The moving operation is not as diff
cult as might be supposed. Ordinary
Jacks" are used to raise the bridge,
one at either corner Then sman
trucks are placed under the corners and
the span is let down. Heavy pine tim
bers are placed between the stone
piers and the temporary supports made
of piles. Railroad irons are then placed
on these timbers and men with crow
bars move the span inch by inch, the
truck running on the railroad irons.
Slow as the work is it only takes an
hour to move the spans the so feet re-
quired.
Contractor Keepers is superintend-
ing the work himself About q, dozen
men are employed in the work, but aft
er the old bridge is out of the way the
force viii be at once increased to cor
respond with the needs of the con
tractors.
The contract for the stone, which
made 50 much trouble, has been ad-
justed- The stone from the Rodgers
quarries viii be used. The quarries
are located about three miles from the
city. The contract pilce is but IS
cents per yard. which is considered re
markedly low.
Superintendent Hinckley says that
the stone to be used is satisfactory. but
that 1t may be necessary to use harder
stone in the arches.
The work on the bridge proper will
be commenced some time this week
1t viii be necessary to tear down the
piers first and after that the excava-
lions for the new piers viii be made.
