greeted this.)
A motion tic call states for nominations
for Vice President was carried. At 6. 35 p
1n., the convention was called to order
by Senator Allen. Delegate Pollock of
Mississippi, member of the silver con-
vention was introduced and read the
platform adopted by that body. When he
reached the conclusion and state that
Bryan had been nominated for the Presi-
dency, there was al outburst of applause
drowning the further announcement Of
the nomination of Sewall for tho Vice
Presidency.
Mr.. Baumann of Alabama named for
Vice President, Representative Skinner
Of North Carolina; Representativ
Howard of Alabama placed in nominal
tion Hon. Thomas E. Watson the late
Populist congressman from Georgia.
Watson's nomination was seconded by
several states.
Colorado being called, yielded to Mr..
Pence, who began by saying:
Mr.. President-In order to draw the
poison quickly and have it out, let me
say my purpose Is to give some reason or
try to give some reason why we should
nominate Mr.. Arthur Sewall for Vice
President: Considerable applause fol
lowed by Kisses. Pence continued. Do
you know that long before any Of us were
in this fight for. retormeand against the
gold ring that Sewall was actively in the
fight? it makes nc difference rs to the
merits of the man. The Vice President
does not amount so muoh unless the
President Is consnmptive, and Billy
Bryan is no oonsumptive. Sewall stands
personally amounting to nothing as far
AS am concerned. II I were following
my own heart tonight would go either
for Skinner or Watson and take the
chance of beating Mckinley. You speak
of Sewall as a millionaire. Whose picture
is This, (pointiog to portrait of Peter
Cooper millionaire who was willing to
expend his money in righteous way.
Weller of Iowa nominated Frank Bur.
kett Of Mississippi.
Captain Burnham of Tennessee nomi-
mated A. l.. Minis of Tennessee.
Bateman Of Maine protested against
the nomination of Sewsll. The statement
that Sewall was formerly a greenbacker
he denounced as absolutely false. Sewall
had not one particle of sympathy with
the Peoples party, except az to the item
of silver, which was the least among the
Populists demands. Sewall had been
President of the Maine Central road and
in the last years of his administration
the wages Of the employees were out ten
ner cent. A comparison of Sewall with
Peter Cooper was an insult to the lmmor-
tai dead. He appealed to the convention
not to force that bitter chalice to the lips
of the Populists of Maine. Bateman
closed with the nomination OF Major
Page of Virginia, president of the
National Farmers Alliance, saying 1t
was nomination which would thrill the
pride of every Southern heart.
X. nj. Fogg of Michigan, formerly of
Maine. attempted to defend Sewall
stating that he (Fogg) had run for Con
eress on the greenback ticket and that
Sewall had given him 500 for his ex-
penses. As he progressed. dissatisfaction

MORE UNSATISFACTORY.
Bradstreets Find Little of Encouragement
to Report.

New York, July "a. --Bradstreets to-
morrow will say: Telgraphio, rail and
mail advices from the commercial and
industrial centres, indicate more un-
| satisfactory state of trade. Jobbers and
retail houses show further caution IN the
matter of securing supplies buying for
actual needs to degree not heretofore
reported. There ia no outlook favoring
an early revival of trade, while the vol
ume of sales continues light and prices
low. with n further restriction of credit.
The general money market is dull, due
not only to caution on the part of banks
in discounting, but to the falling off in
demand. Untavorable crop reports from
Nebraska caused a cancellation of some
ORDERS and the long continued rains in
Tennessee have checked business
Louisiana reports the new rye crop short,
and Eastern Washington and Oregon
that the long continued dry season has
had an unfavorable effect on the wheat
crop.
The single favorable feature in
| Chicago's trade situation is the moderate
ly increased orders for dry goods and
hardware, almost every other line is
quiet or depressed. Relatively few st
Louis statesmen are on tho road. A few
others will start soon.
Omaha's clothing trade is brisk, and
other lines slow. Relatively favorable
advices are from Baltimore. where orders
in general lines fairly satisfactory volume
of business is larger than i'll the like
period of 1895 and from Galveston where
business generally promises improve
ment.
The industrial situation is somewhat
more depressed, particularly in iron and
steel, prices for most varieties, which are
notably southern pig iron, are shaded.
The encouraging feature in iron and steel
is the extent to which stacks have blown
out. There Is a new scale of wages asked
for by the iron and steel workers. and it
is largely acoeded to.
Production is materially ourtailed
among manufacturers of woolens and
cottons, as heretofore. in locomotive.
hardware, silver, jewelry, and lumber in
dussries.
Shoe factories are busy, mostly on old
orders.

MANSON G. LARRABEE:.

with his remarks grew intense, and he
was hooted into silence Many delegates
attacked Sewall as millionire, banker
and railroad magnate.
The voting for Vice President began at
1905 a. IN. The call of the roll was
completed at .25. Then Burkett of Mis-
sissippi Withdrew his name. MIR. Minis of
Tennessee next asked his friends to
cast their votes for Watson and then the
change of votes began and delegates al
most tum bled over themselves to change
votes to Watson and he soon had enough
votes to Insure his nomination. mo-
ton was made to suspend the rules and
make Watson the unanimous choice of
the convention. AS soon as this was
done the lights went out and the hall
remained in darkness except for candles
the reporters supplied. The ssrgeant-at-
arms implored the audience not to be
stampeded. A horrible din arose out OF
the darkness. In IL minutes after the
lights gave out feeble gimmer again
shown viii CHI slowly increased. The
chair announced Mr.. Watson the unani-
nous choice for Vice President. Gen
Weaver tried to get the convention to ad-
journ which was cried down. The chair
man announced that the next order of
business was the selection of national
committee.
The convention refused to accept that
and the chair theroupon put the I'D otiun

Plans for the Coming Trip to the East

Lincoln, Neb., July 24.-The plans OF
Mr.. Bryan for the campaign are gradual.
ly shaping into something definite and
when the comm ittse on notification an-
nounces tho date of the rally in New
York, at which he will be informed OF
his selection as the candidate of the
Democratic party he will prepare a
partial programme of his movements.
1t is not likely that MIR. Bryan will
spend much of his time in Lincoln after
he starts out on the stump. He does not
wish to bs spared during the campaign,
and his stump speaking tour is liable to
be a record breaker
FROM present indications it is probable
that August 10 or - will >be the date of
the mott fioation in New York.
Mr.. Bryan will start east from Lincoln
about five days before the day fixed for
that event. As contemplated at present
Mr.. Bryan will mako through trip to
Chicago From that place he will pro-
coed to Pittsburg and make an address
there. From Pittsburg he will 90 to
Washington and en- route to New York
will also stop over in Philadelphia.
From New York Mr.. Bryan will 90 tn
Bath, Maine, where he is to be the euest
of Mr.. Sewall for short time. II ia
probable that he will make some nd
dresses en- routs.
Maine audiences are liable to see some
thing Of him and he will then ro v1est-
ward. The date of his return to Lincoln
has not been arranged.

ST. Louis, July 24.-The conference
committee appointed by the silver and
this afternoon and reached an agreement.
The organization Of the committee
was effected by making Weirwiio of Min
nesota chairman. For two hours the
committee debated all sorts of PROPOSE
tions, tho fight particularly centering
about proposed endorsement of MI.
Sewall for Vice President. The Southern
Populist members of the committee re-
jeoted every suggestion likely to favor
the Chicago nominee for vice president
and the silver members finally becom-
ing discouraged confined their efforts to
getting the parties united on common
ground.
This was effected by the adoption of the
following: Resolved, That it is the sense
of this conference committee that union
of all forces, including Peoples Party,
silver men, Free Silver Democrats and
Republicans is expedient and should be
effected at once for the purpose of achiev-
ing a victory for the advancement OF
free silver in November.
The adoption of this resolution leaves
each party free to pursue any course il
sees proper. The committee adjourned
sine die.

in favor of silver, I will contend in the
future as in the past for that principle,
so long as we remain in the GOLD
standard no amount of protection will
protect our manufacturers and laborers
Hence it is my duty to aid in the restora
ton OF silver first, leaving Other
questions in allegiance until this is accom-
plished. Our candidate for President,
Mr.. Bryan, by his high persona
character. his ability, his patriotism, and
his unswerving devotion to the cause oil

support of every one who desires to sue.

we cannot shake off so long as we cling

The trick of the crooks at Chicago in
gathering crowd and haranging for
free silver and then picking pockets is
being repeated here. A well known local
crook operated last night In the Iindell.
So far as is known he didn't get any
thing but he stirred up the crowd. He
was the hottest free silver advocate that
could be found in the city of st. Louis,
and he had big crowd around him when
the police arrived and threw him, out.
