THEY NAME BRYAN.
Populists Nominate the Democrat
 to Head Their Ticket.
The Nebraskan Gets an Overwhelming Vote After an Exciting Wrangle-National Committee Given Plenary Power
 Butler for National Chairman,

ST. LOUIS, July 27.-There was inex- tricable confusion on the floor of the Auditorium Saturday before the peo- ple's party convention met. The dele gates stood about in animated groups. discussing the situation, and what it was best to do. The Bryan feeling was very strong, and the telegram from the Nebraskan declaring that he would not accept the nomination rendered the situation chaotic. Many desired to nominate Bryaa in the face of this tel: egram. Tom Morrison, of Colorado, and ex-Gov Lewelling, of Kansas, however, said this would not do. They counseled an indorsement of Bryon, instead of & nomination, pointing out that an indorsement. which did not re- quire an acceptance, was the way out of the tangle.
 Senator Allen called the convention to order at 9:3O and committee to no- tify the candidates for president and vice president was selected. The chair man then called for the nominations for president. Gen. Weaver went for ward to the platform and in a lengthy speech placed William J. Bryan in nomination. There were many speeches made in seconding Bryan's nomination. Several other nomina- tions were made, namely: Col. L. M. Norton, of Illinois, was named by Mir. Call, of New York; Delegate Living stone, chairman of the Missouri dele gation, named Ignatius Donnelly, of Minnesota, and, when Donnelly de- cliued the use of his name, he placed Gen. J. S. Coxey, of Ohio, in nomina- tion. The nominating speeches oc- cupied six hours.
 When the nominations were closed George Abbott, of Nebraska. moved that the national committee be given plenary powers in all things connected with the party after the adjournment of the convention and the motion was carried.
 The roll call was then made and Chairman Allen announced the official

BANKERS TO THE RESCUE.

New York Financ,sra ARrse to Protect tha
 Gold Reserve.
 NEW YORK, July 22-About two o'clock yesterday afternoon, when the stock market appeared to be shaping for bear panic, caused nominally by the withdrawal of $S,OoO,0O0 in gold from the treasury for export, the an- nouncement was made that the banks had entered into an agreement to pro- tect the reserve. Little information could be obtained at that hour con- corning the plans of the bank presi- dents, but the news acted as tonic in Wall street and checked the downward tendency of prices. Later it was dis covered that President Sherman, of the National Bank of Commerce, and President F. D. Happen, of the Gallatin national bank, had been in conference with their associates and with J. Pier pont Morgan, and that the basis of an agreement had been reached, in pur- suance of which the national banks pledge their reserve fund to the sup port of the government to the extent of from BIO, ,000 900 to $25, ,0O0, ,000 An- other conference is to be held to de. eide upon more definite line of con- duct

An Appeal to the People for Contributiohi for Legitimate Expenses.

An Appeal to the People for Contributiohi
 for Legitimate Expenses.
 ST. LoIus, July 27-The national committee of the silver party has is. sued an address to the public. It is signed by the committee and is as fol- lows:
 To the American People:
 Inasmuch as it has been charged upon the national silver party assembled in St Louis that We arc a convention of repudiators, revo- lutiontsts and anarchists, we submit the fol- lowing to the candid judgment of the people.
 In our delegates are four veterans of our Mexican war. 70 ex-confederates and l96 union army veterans of tho late war. Of the 73l dele gates attending, nine are prohibitionists, 49 are populists, li6 are democ 'ats and 256 are re- publicans.
 In this composition of the convention we ap- peal to all true patriots, without regard to previous party affiliations, to vote for Hon. William J. Byran for president and Hon. Arthur J. Sewall for vice president of the United States. A result of their election will be the restoration of the free coinage of silver on equal terms with gold, providing thereby growing volume of money, which will tend to disseminate, rather than aggregate wealth, which will relieve the present profound de- precision and replace it with wide prosperity.
 We urge you to unite upon this ticket as your sole hope of escape from the rigors Of 8 grinding gold monopoly.
 Ours is poor mans campaign. We. there- fore, call for contributions toward legitimate expenses, the same to be sent to William P. St. John, treasurer, at l2l East Thirty Fourth street, New York city. Contributions of S1 or more will be regularly acknowledged.

MORE STORM VICTIMS.
Four Additional Bodies Found Near Colder

Four Additional Bodies Found Near Golden,
 Col-NO Trains for Two Weeks.
 DENVER, Col, July 27.-The terrible effects of the cloudburst in Clear Creek canyon above Golden, Col, last Friday are still coming to light. Last night four more bodies were found among the debris several miles below Golden. There is also a report of the death of eight men employed in Denver brew cry who passed through Golden few hours before the storm, en route to Ida ho Springs for an outing. They have not since been heard from and parts of what is believed to be their wagon have been found.
 Railroad officials said they could not give even an approximate estimate of the damage, but that they will prob- ably be able to get trains through to Georgetown in two weeks. One hum dred and seventy-five men are now at work repairing and 100 more will be put on very soon. The road for about seven miles must be almost wholly re- built, as the bed is washed out or buried under great masses of rock and dirt. People at Central City and Black hawk express fears of food becoming scarce before the road is repaired.

 WATSON WILL NOT BE WITHDRAWN.
 ST. LOUIS, July 27.-A rumor got out yesterday to the effect that the popu- lists would withdraw Watson, their candidate for vice president, if Sewall did not himself withdraw. A repre- sentative of the press called on Sena- tor Marion c. Butler, who has been elected chairman of the national com mittee, and asked him why, if his party desired union of the silver forces, did they nominate another candidate for vice president.
 "Because," he said, i've found that by so doing our party organization could be better preserved in the sup port of Mir. Bryan than by the nomina- tion of Mir. Sewall."
 It is rumored that Mir. Watson will be withdrawn"
 "This will not be done. The selec- tion of MT. Watson was a deliberate ac- tion by an overwhelming vote, and voiced the sentiment of the delegates fresh from the people, who themselves had deliberated upon the situation since the Chicago convention. Mir. Sewall is the one man in the United States who now has it in his power to completely unify the silver forces and make victory over the gold combine absolutely certain. This is the unan- imous opinion of our executive com mittee"

STRIKING TAiLORS.
Twenty Thousand Estimated to Be Idle at
 New York.

New York.
 NEW YORK, July 2T.-An all-day meeting was held by the striking tail ors of this city in Walhalla hall yes- terday. Addresses were made by a number of leaders and the situation was generally discussed. The sub stance of the remarks made by the various speakers was to the effect that no compromise with the contractors should be made; that the strikers must stand firm and accept nothing but victory. The fact that some of the contractors who had in the past combatted the tailors have now joined hands with them is regarded by the leaders as significant and is taken as an omen of success for the tailors in their conflict for the entire abolition of the sweat shop system, the increase of the weekly scale of wages and for fixed weekly toll standard of 59 hours. It is estimated that fully 2O,OOO hands are now idle on account of the strike in this city and vicinity.
