people are now claiming that he will
be nominated on the first ballot by the
Populists, but most of them concede
that 1t will he very difficult to secure
similar action in MIR. sewall's behalf,
though they have not abandoned their
efforts in this direction. They noy
contemplate an adjournment of the
convention Immediately after Mr..
organs nomination, with the hope OF
bringing the opposition to Mr.. Scwall
to see the wisdom of his support. In
case they fail on Scwall, the plan is %
accept the nomination of MIR. Bryan
independent Of Sewall. They state
that this can be done and that the
Populist state organizations can,
where they have a mind to do so,
adopt the Bryan and Sewall tickets
regardless of the action Of the nation

Senator Jones, the Democratic
chairman, has been consulted upon
this plan and has given his opinion
that it is possible. Mr.. Jones is,
however; still holding out for the in
dorsement of the entire ticket as the
best and only wise course to be pur-
sued. lie is urged to do this by Mr..
Bryan himself, who has telegraphed
that he Is disinclined TO accept any
Endorsement that is not also given to
his Democratic running mate.
Some OF MIR. Bryan's friends say,
however, hat they will take what
they can get, and that even If Mr..
Bryan does not formally accept the
nomination they will make hlm their
candidate, regardless of this formal.

position for him 10 be placed in.
With reference to Sewall, his
friends, and those Of Mr.. Bryan. hold
that the Western states would pursue
the course they outline Of taking both
regardless OF the conventions action
on Sewall. They think n Popnlist
candidate for Vice President would
be voted for in the South, but they
rely on the Democrats to carry the

The nomination was made unanim.
GUS with enthusiastic speeches from the
representatives of the other candidates.
After the decision of the Platt forces
not to present the name of Governor
Morton, the nomination of Hobart, of
New Jersey, for vice.president, became
certainty. The Mckinley force was
thrown for him, which was too potent
to overcome, besides, it was the general
sense of the delegates that the situa.
tion required the nomination of an
Eastern man for vice. president. The
nominating speeches were brief.
Buckley, of Connecticut; Lippitt, of
Rhode Island, and General Walker, of
Virginia, were also placed in nomina-
tion, but it only required one ballot to
determine the result. Hobart received
5301a votes, 80 more than a majority.
Evans, his nearest competitor, received
2S01a. There were scattering votes for
Reed, Thurston, Grant, Depew, Morton
and Brown.

lasted twenty-seven minutes.
Just at the close of the shouting
thousands were ready to sink from
sheer exhaustion. Altogether the scene
was remarkable one, and testified to
the popularity of the candidate who
had been placed in the field.
The ballot was then taken and Nc
Kinley's vote exceeded the expectation
of his friends, as he received 661 p

times as many as his five opponents.

tana delegation.
The last day Of the convention was
held in session for ten hours to accom-.
plish the work cut out for it, and the
scenes at different times were tragic,
dramatic and inspiring. Fully 5000
people were in the vast auditorium to
hiss or cheer by turns.
The bolt of the silver men from the
West furnished the most dramatic in.
cident of the day. Led by Senator
Teller, they had previously declared
their intention of refusing to subscribe
to the gold plank in the platform, but,
after Senator Teller had made his final
appeal to the convention not to take
the step which would drive him and
his colleagues out of the ranks of the
party which in the past honored them,
and they had delighted to serve, the
convention had voted, $751; to 1O5 u,
to stand by the gold declaration in the
platform. When Senator Teller made
his declaration, saying: 81 must sever
my connection with the political party
which makes the gold plank one of the
principal articles of its faith" he
paused and swpet his eyes across the
hall. The galleries rose with a yell,
and mingled with the yell was a fusi.
lade of misses. There was pathos in
the senator's voice, and those nearest
could detect glimmer of tears while
he said there would be heartburnings
and grief in the sacrifice he and his
colleagues were to make for their con.
sciences.
Cheers then came from the silver
delegates and the gold men were ON
their feet from the admiration of the
man, not of his cause. The misses
were few this time.
No one who witnessed the scenes will
forget them to his dying day, the pic.
ture of Senator Frank Cannon, Of
Utah, facing from the platform 10, OOO
lrate' Kissing, jeering people, as he
read the valedictory of the silver men.
The very courage displayed by him
won for him the admiration which
compelled silence. When he had fin.
ished he turned and shook hands with
the chairman and other friends ON the
platform.
de then locked arms with Senate,
Teller, and the two men left the stand
ana moved down between the walls Of
yelling delegates to where the standard
OF the Idaho delegation stood. There
they were Joined by the handsome,
stalwart Dubois, and the three con,
tinued their march to the main door
