CHICAGO. July 11.-All present calcula-
tions point to the completion of the
Democratic National ticket and the close
of the National convention today. The
program for the day includes the nomi-
mating speeches and the balloting for
Vice-President, the naming OF commit
tees OF notification OF President and
Vice-President, the assembling OF tire
National committee and possibly the
election of chairman of the National
committee TO conduct the campaign. The
same glorious weather which has been
with the convention from the start
promises TO remain with II 10 the finish.
Although the convention crowd had the
first touch of heat yesterday the mercury
never went above the eighties and the
day opened in the lower seventies. The
exodous from the city has already begun,
and the comparative quiet OF hotel cor
ridors and political centers is being re-
stored. The regular trains last night and
today were crowded TO their utmost
capacity and most of the special trains
which had brought marching clubs with
their bands and sho uters have gone.
The convention was very slow in as
sem bling. Although 10 o'clock..was fixed
for the time OF meeting, at 20 minutes
after that hour there were not more than
100 delegates in the pit and the galleries
! were not half filed.
he news that John II. Mclean OF OHIO,
who was the most formidable cand idate
last night, had finally and positively de-
cided not TO allow his name to be pre-
sented for the Vice. Presidential n omina-
tion left an open field for the second
honor.
The silver leaders stood about with their
heads together discussing the availability
OF the various candidates. ExCQngress-
man Ben Shively OF Indiana, who has re-
Gently been slated for Governor of that
State, was strongly talked of by the
leaders, despite the statement OF the In
diana delegation hat his nomination
will confuse the program in thsir own
State. The fact that he was from
doubtful State in the Middle States,
greatly strengthened him. Arthur Sewell
of Maine, Boies OF Iowa, Sibley OF Penn
sylvenia, Fithian OF Illinois, each had
earnest advocates aud there was warm
sentimental regard for George Fred Will
liams OF Massachusetts,.
The leaders were disposed to look
strictly 10 political consideration in the
selection of Mr.. Bryan's running mate.
1t was understood 10 be Mr.. Bryan's wish
that a man of wealth should not be placed
ON the ticket with him.
AS the hands of the clock pointed to

started in anew, and under different ar
rangements. The.nrst four called pleaded
not guilty and were ordered to find
surety in the sum OF s20O for trial Tues
day. The fifth pleaded guilty and was
fined 81 anu costs. This was a signal for
the others TO do the same, and when the
first four understood what was going on
they, like flock OF sheep, followed suit,
which, much to the pleasure of the court
and attendants, settled the matter. Their
names were Frank Bannigan, Michael
Roumenj, Dominica Rottan, Alexander
Corindo, Vincsnzo Nedelo- and Angelo
Matelo.
1t is claimed that.throe persons went
into the yard OF the Ice Company on Sa-
bin street and helped themselves to ice,
and that the company has been much
annoyed In this way for some time, and
have decided to put a stop TO it. The
culprits, through the court Interpreter,
say that the men in the employ of the
company, who were at work about the
building, this morning, told them in
the most pleasant manner to come into
the yard and help themselves.
Banker Vincenzo Buffalo was on
hand and paid all of their fines and costs.

A LITTLE MIXED UP.
Matters in a Tangle in the District
Court This Morning.
II Was Over an Ice Stealing Matter and
Italians Were Involved.

Things were somewhat mixed in the
Sixth District Court this morning, and
even Judge Sweetlsnd, who is usually
very cool headed, was for time little
at sea. There were six Italians, five men
and one woman, arraIgned on the charge
of stealing ice from Earl G. Anthony &
Co. Noue of the six could or would
speak English, and some knew so little
about the language thlt they did not
know when the judge called their names.
One would be arraigned under one
name, and then another would be called.

PopulIst Nominee Is a Magnetic
Speaker and Fireworks Orator.

William J. Bryan, the young ex-member
of the House from Nebraska, nominated
for President by the Democrats, is now
only SO years old, year older than the
age required by the constitution for elig-
ibility to the office. Ii elected, he will
be the youngest President the White
House has ever known.
His public record begins with the 52d
Congress, when he was elected by d.
vision in the ranks of his opponents in
the year of the great reaction agaist the
Mckinley law. IL he should become Presi-
det, it would be the Mckinley law and
the policy of the Reed Congress which

have permitted the election of Demo-
crat in the First district Of Nebraska, in

Mr.. Bryan was admitted TO the bar by
the Supreme Court of Illinois and began
practice AT Jacksonville, hut in October,
1887, he removed TO Lincoln, Neb., and
became a mem Der of the firm of Talbot
q Bryan. Esta blished here he developed
a talent for politics, and was soon deep
ly IN the work. so signal was his success
and so commanding his talents that he
quickly became one OF the most conspicu-
Gus Democrats of the state. The year af-
ter his advent in Lincoln he was offered
the Democratic nomination for lieutenant
governor. This he declined, but took an
active part in the canvass, and during its
progress he made over 90 speeches.
This canvass gave him a reputation for
popular oratory and strong argumeEta-
tive force, ald in 1890 he was nominated
for Congress In tho Lincoln district. The
nomination war not considered dcsira BILE,
the district boing regarded rs hopclessly
Repu blican, and the candidate OF that
party was very strong. Mr.. Bryan. how
ever, accepted the task, and announced
that the democratic principle OF tariff

Bryan quickly made his mark in
Washington az an orator, friend of
silver and a radical advocate of tariff re-
form. His friends recommended him at
the beginning OF his first term as stu
dent of the tariff rather than of finance
and their persuasioDs led speaker Crisp
to put him on the ways and means COM
mittee, an unusual honor for a new men,

Bryan distinguished himself in the
conferences OF Democratic members by
voting always for the most radical reduc-
tions OF duty, for cutting rates on man.
ufactured goods TO the quick and for in
serting the income tax in the tariff bill.
His vote, like that OF any other OF the SIX
Democrats who made up the majority
of their party associates in favor of in
come tax, may be said to have cast the
die for that enactment aud coupled 1t
with the tariff schedules.

Bryan was personally as popular as any
member of the House, always courteous,
frank and ready to state his views upon
any public question. He was well liked
by his associates Of both parties, by the
newspaper correspondents, and 10y those
who came in contact with him in con-
nection with the public business. he
was never a poser of the stamp OF Jerry
Simpson, the "Sockless Statesman" but
usually wore black frock coat and low
cut vest, the costume OF men OF SUBJ
stance in his locality.
He was never suspected OF wealth, and
lived modestly In a little house southeast
OF the Capitol. during both his terms in
the House. His wife was stuoious lit
tie woman, much wrapped up in her bril-
liant husband, and helping him greatly
in preparing his speeches and doing his
congressional work.
"The young Cicero OF the House," as
he is called here, was born In Salem, Ma
rion county, hi. March 10, 1860. His
early education was obtained In the pub
was ID years of age. In 1875 he entered
Whipple Academy at Jacksonville. and
there prepared for Illinois College, from
which he grauated with the hig hest hon.
ors in 1881. He then .entered the Union
College of Law OF Chicago In 1888. While
there he was recognized as man OF un-
usual ability. He was very popular, al
ways ready to enter into an argument
with any of his classmates, and as a de-
batter he excelled. During his school
course he was a student in the law office
of Lyman Trumbull.

Bryan differed from Bland in re-
gard to another feature Of the fight
against silver repeal. Bland believed
in submitting TO parliamentary meth
DDS and accepting the decree OF ma
jority of the House as final. Bryan
believed in exhausting every parli-
amentsry resource TO delay the pass
age OF the repeating bill. He stood up
with hardly a dozen followers, when the
repeating bill came over. from the Senate
for concurrence in amendments on the
first .ot November, and undertook by
every known filibustering oevice to de-
lay a final vote.
Tho mum Der of his followers was too
small TO secure a roll call, for most Of
tine silver Democrats had pledged them
selves to the country that they would
Hffow an end to be put to the agony OF
uncertainty under which the nation had
suffered five months by permitting final
vote. Speaker Crisp put the question
while Bryan was consulting with almost
his only.lieutenant, Snodgrass of rennes-
see, and concurrence in the Senate amend
ments was voted.
He was as radically opposed to eastern
opinions on other questions as on that of
finance. He always voted to suspend the
rules and pass option legislation, and no
scruple regarding the interference OF
Federal power with local business ever
influenced him in that particular. lie
voted against the repeal OF the 10 per
cent. tax on the circulation OF State
banks, apparently because he was ra di-
cal green hacker, rather than from the
motives which Influenced Springer OF
Illinois and other members who DIS
trusted the security OF the State bank
issues.
With the SD Congress Mr.. Bryan's..Con-
gressional career ended, and he returned
to Omaha to accept the editorship OF the
World Herald of that city.

1t was not so much as a worker In com
mark as on the floor of the House and in
general debate. He leaped into fame by
his speech on the tariff in the fifty-sec-
ond Congress. Clearness OF dictioD, force
of reasoning and graceful delivery
marked him as one of the born orators of
the House. He spoke on that occasion
for the united Democratic party and re-
ceived congratulations from all elements
among bis party associates.
Those who heard his tariff speech ex-
pected an equally brilliant delivery upon
silver. They were not disappointed, so
far as form OF delivery went, but the
matter of the speech was admitted by
good judges TO be inferior TO that of the
tariff speech, for which Bryan was
equipped by long course of study
He has turned his attention since then

Bryan enjoys the unique distinction In
regard to silver OF being moro radical
than Bland. IL was during the fight over
the repeal OF the sherman law In August
of 1893 that a series Of hostile amend
ments were offered to the repeating bill.
Bland was the recognized leader OF the
silver forces, and offered the amend
ments.
