OMAHA, Neb., July 10-All Nebras-
ka Is excited tonight over Bryan's nom
fnation and informal celebrations such
as bands playing, horn footing and
crazy Democrats yelling in a most en-
thusfastic manner Is common through
out Nebraska. 1t Is most intense in
Omaha, though no formal steps have
yet been taken toward a proper cele-
bration. 1t came too much as a sur
prise. In Omaha the enthusiastic crowd
gathered in front of the newspaper Of
fees to watch the bulletin from the
convention 1t was q pleasant crowd
It was a Democratic crowd, and 1t
voiced it's sentiment in continuous and
vociferous utterances. It was essen
TALLY Nebraska crowd, however, for
its utterances were more energetic and
enthusiastic when Nebraska and it's
sister state, Iowa. came in for hotice in
the bullettning, which came rapidly over
/ the wire. When Bland was placed be-
fore the convention a cheer announced
that there were many friends of the
Missouri statesman among the crowd,
and much cheering resulted, but a
Georgia delegate, Mr.. Lewis, advanced
to the platform to present the name Of
Hon. VIM. ]. Bryan, of Nebraska, and
the cheers, cries Of ''our next president
and similar EXPLANATIONS were deafen-
ing.
When five states in succession Sec
onded the nomination Of Mr.. Bryan

was impossible to distinguish the indi-
vidual sentiment expressed, but the
shouts resolved themselves into one
prolonged
CHEER OF APPLAUSE.

exhibitor Of enthusiasm.
The nomination Of Matthews, of In
diana, did not create a furore, but some
cheers were accorded the announce
ment. When Boies name was displayed
as having been announced, the crowd
gave vent to its appreciation and the

was thatt4ofn Mclean. The crowd was
patient, notwithstanding, the aslowness
with which the work of the convention
proceeded, and waited with the dfspo-
sitiop consonant with a desire for a
final result. When the announcement
was made that the CONVEX ton had
named Bryan. shouts of "hurrah for
Bryan" rose and lasted until the crowd
had dissipated into the distance. Above
the hurrahs was the Nebraska yell:
