Fridays Session.

CHIC GO, July 10.-William Jennings
Bryan Of Nebraska, the classic featured
orator from the Plains of the Platte,
swept the convention off its feet and
was nominated for president on the
fifth ballot. Political history furnishes
no precedent for the proceedings i'll the
Coliseum, either as Il great spectacular
show or as the result of the decision Of
q convention Of great political party.
Bryan is but 36 years old, younger by
10 years than any man ever nominated
for the chief magistracy Of the Amer
lean republic. He came like young
Lochinar cut Of the west, which has
never before nominated presidential
candidate, to WOO the bride for whose
hand the country's greatest chieftains
had been suitOrs. His name was barely
mentioned in the preliminary skir-
mishes Four days ago, when the con-
vention met, he was not entered in the
lists But Thursday he made an inn
passioned speech and stirred the con-
vention to frenzy his eloquence.
Friday morning when the convention
met to ballot Bryan showed second on
the first rollcall He had already over
haAled Boies. Only Bland was ahead,
and it was stsuggle for the Missourian
to get the 239 votes which were cast for
him.
The stam~ede began on the next bal
lot. On tie fourth ballot Bryan took
the lead and Bland fell back, hopelessly
beaten. The nomination was made
unanimous on the next ballot.

Lasting Five Days.

CHICAGO, July I'm the magnificent
coliseum at Jackson park, beneath clear
skies, with cool breeze swapping at
the flags and the blue waters of Lake
Michigan stretching away to the north,
the Democratic national convention
met.
After a brief but decisive battle in
their supremacy. They wrested from
the hands of the gold phalanxes the
control OF the convention and gathered
the reins Of power into their own hands,
There was "Reminiscences of that other
great coliseum whose fall marked the
destruction of an empire, where men
were butchered to make a Roman holi-
day, about it all.
On the platform were the members of
the national committee. Among the
distinguished guests seated in their rear
were a number of gold leaders who
have been conspicuous in previous con-
ventiOns, who were swept aside by the
silver cohorts in their states. These in
cluded General Gordon of Georgia.
Senator Lindsay of Kentucky, 9x-Con-

appeal for peace, had hardly assembled
to the throne of grace before the con-

WednasdaY's Session.

CHICAGO, July 8.-The battle of the
the giants was waged all along the line,
with the silver men in control. In the
committee rooms and in the convention
no quarter was shown. The committee
On resolutions, where they had ma
jority Of 20, crushed the opposition, and
with few notifications adopted the
platform adopted by the subcommittee.
Senator Hill, following the biblical
injunction to turn the othercheek. after
the resolutions which inferentially con-
demned the president at three distinct
points had been adopted by the commit
tee, offered plank commencing the
administration on its honesty, fidelity
and courage By vote of ~ to II it
was defeated. Everywhere there was
talk of a gold bolt, and it now seems
very probable there may be definite ac-
ton of at least a portion of the minor
ity. The leaders, however, are still
using their influence to restrain their
followers. The New York delegation
decided not to withdraw. Ex-Governor
Flower, who at first advocated bolt,
changed front, but George B. McClel-
land and Perry Belmont were for rad
ical action.
It was the hitch in the committee on
credentials which rendered the day ses-
ssion of the convention nullity so far
as results were concerned. For over
three hours the convention awaited the
end of the struggle in the committee on
credentials, occupying their time listen
ing to the feryid oratory of silver cham
pions. The gold men sat silent and
passive as half dozen orators, one after
the other, were called to the stage to
stir the blood and fire the imagination
of their supporters. They seemed in
different, while thousands yelled them
selves hoarse, and at no time took any
part in the demonstration.
Ex-Governor Hogg of Texas, Senator
Blackburn of Kentucky, Governor
Overmeyer of Kansas, Governor Alt
geld of Illinois and Congressman
George Fred Williams of Massachusetts
addressed the convention.
The net result Of the day session was
the seating of the Nebraska delegation.
This was the signal for wild demon
stratipn in honor Of Bryan. the boy ora
tor of the Platte, who is now every
where recognlzed as a formidable dark
horse.
The crowds returned to convention
hall eypecting a protracted night session
aud decisive action on the platform.
There was further delay. however, in
the committee on credentials. The
Michigan contest. which had excited a
sharp. division in committee, was re-
nortdd at & 0iclock giving the silver
forces a majority Of the delegation and
thus permitting them to swing the %
votesDf Michigan for silver. It excited
warm debate.
AS the New York delegation cast its
solid vote to sustaiHthe Michigan gold
delegates, great shout went up from
the thousand delegates and spectators.
It was Is minutes before the chair

announced that the silver men had a

people.
"They ask us if Robespierre will
arise. No; instead Of that the people
need an Andrew Jackson to do as Jack
son did in resisting encroachments
against the people"
Turning to the income tax question,
Mr.. Bryan declared that it was not un-
constitutional until cne Judge had
changed his mind, and the great eco
nomic principle of an income tax could
not rest upon the change of mind of u
single judge.
The speaker referred to the merciless
domination of the gold power in the
past and added: "But / warn them
they shall not cruelty the Democratic
party on a cross of gold"
The conclusion of Mr.. Bryan's speech
was marked by the most enthusiastic
demonstration of the convention.
After long and heated debate the
majority report was adopted and the
convention at 1 80 p. IN. recessed till 8

The Night Session.
At the night session in the presence
of fully $4,000 people the nominating
speeches were made, and there was u
repetition of the exciting scenes Of the
afternoon. The Bryan enthusiasm con-
tinued. The galleries went frantic at
every mention of his name and the
wild demonstration of the afternoon
was duplicated when he was placed il
nomination by H. Il. Lewis Of Georgia
and seconded by W. t. Klutz of North
Carolina and George Fred Williams of
Massachusetts and Il. S. Herman Of
Louisiana. Although the demonstra-
ton was confined largely to the gal
leries, it looked as if the favor
ite Bland had fallen back into the ruck,
hopelessly beaten. Senator Vest placed
the Missourian in nomination and Gov
ernor Overmeyer of Kansas seconded
the nomination.
The nomi alton of Governor Claude
Matthews Of Indiana was presented by
Senator Turpie of Indiana and seconded
by Delegate Trippett of Colorado. Fred
White Of Iowa placed BOies in nomina-
tion and the Waterloo statesman owed
a magnificent ovation to the enthusiasm
of Miss Winnie Murray, young wo-
man from Nashua, Ia, who led the
Boies demonstration, as Mrs. Carron
Blake did the Blaine demonstration ut
Minneapolis four years ago. Senator
Joe Blackburn of Kentucky was placed
in nomination by John S. Rhea, bril-
liant Kentucky orator, and seconded by
General St. CLAIR of West Virginia and
w. W. Foote of California. Mclean
of Ohio was presented by Delegate Pat

Particular People.

Oul SuoOOhIOAp "lS p"A VIZ u
lar people, and we are glad Of
it, for we are a little particu-
lar ourselves. People who
are particular about the goods
they buy, who insist upon per-
lection as to durability, goods
to be as represented, best ma
terials and quality, are people
who know what they ought to
pay for goods and who refuse
to pay exhorbitant prices.
AS we have said we are par
ticular ourselves. Particular
in selecting our goods, and we
do our own selecting, from the
best concerns in the country;
insist upon the very highest
grade of goods, and as we pay
the plank down cash for every
dollars worth of goods pur-
chased we get them at the
lowest notch, and that is the
secret of how we can sell first
class stock at a price which
most dealers ask for second
class and inferior goods.
We are especially particu-
lar in the selection of our
stock of drugs and medicines.
They must always be up to
the standard, pure and fresh.
We pride ourselves in this de.
partment, and truthfully be-
lieve that we have drugs and
medicines for all the aches and
pains known to the human
race, and to the animal king
dom as well. We keep none
but what we can recommend,
and it is always wise to keep
an assortment of goods, true
and tried remedies on hand, so
that they may be near when
wanted, for it is a fact that
many lives are sacred, and
diseases prevented, by having
the right medicine at the right
time, and in time.
And while we are especially
particular with our stock OF
drugs and medicines, we are
equally particular in the Sc
lection of our paints, oils and
brushes. We are the oldest
house in the county dealing
in these goods, and we have
this class of goods down pat.
We keep no inferior paints or
oils, and it is for that reason
wherever you see paint spread
that comes from our store it is
always found to wear well and
is first class in all particulars.
Orr wall paper and window
shade dept has well estab'
lished reputation, and we are
as particular Of this depart
ment as we are Of any other in
our mammoth store Styles
and patterns have never been
more pretty than they are
now, and as to prices you can
paper your entire home for
little or no money. The
cheapness of our paper will
surprise you, as we'll as our
designs will delight. Come in
and look over the stock wheth.
er you wish to purchase OF
not.
We still handle anything
and everything in the book
and stationery line, and keep
this department up as we'll as
can be found in any first class

A SUIT IN EQUITY.



William j. Jacobs to-day commenced in
the Pottsvile court n suit in equity against
Anna NJ Ellis and Daniel Ellis her husband
and agent, to restrain them from obstructiug
an alley-way and prevent them fastening the
gates Of the alley with locks, or otherwise
interfere with Jacobs free use and enjoyment
Of the premises NJ. NJ Burke, Esq, filed
the bill for the complainant this morning
and the court granted a rule to show cause
why the injunction SHOULD not be granted.
From the complaint in the case it appears
that Jacobs claims, by deed from Stephen
Goho, certain property on the north side of
West Oak street between Main and Jaidin
streets and about the same time it is al
legged, Jacobs was given free passage way
for ingress and egress and regress over and
through "a ten foot wide alley by written
agreement made with Ellis and his wife.
BY the same agreement Jacobs claims an
interest of five feet and ten inches Of the
width of the alley and alleges that notwith-
standing this title the defendants have OBJ
structed his free use and enjoyment of the
same. The specific allegation in this respect
is Respondents have erected stable on
the west end of the tcn.foot alley referred to
and have placed and continued to place in
the remaining portion of said alley, old iron,
