ST. LOUIS, July e5.-Atter the ad- journment last night, Watson safely landed by his friends, the feeling pre- vailed that SO far as the business of the convention was concerned, the work of the delegates was practically done. The disposition of the middle of the road people to fight to the end the nomination of Bryan had virtual ly oozed away, and was to be met with only in scattering shots between mid might and this morning
 After the convention was called to order and the business before the house was announced ito be the will of the delegates as to the head of the presidential ticket, an effort was made to open pepperboX of candidates. The names of Donnelly, Livingston, Coxey, Norton and half dozen others were sprung from different parts of the floor followed by loud shouting for recog- nition on all sides.
 AS soon as anything like order was obtained the chair announced that the call would be made alphabetically.
 Alabama very courteously yielded | part of the time of that state to Gen. eral Weaver of Iowa, and Weaver de livered nominating speech, every word of which seemed to penetrate the hides of those who could not before convince then9aIves that the name o Bryan would lift the curtain and ex
 pose for, exhibition the end of tn. labors of this convention.
 There was no mistaking the senti ment that was rife. There was nc doubt left in the mind of a Bryan ma1 long before General Weaver concluded
 his remarkable effort. Bryan hat come to conquer and to stay.
 The interruptions were many, all il the shape of applause of kind lonf
 continued and deafening as the poin
 made was moro or less telling, ant
 when Weaver finished, the utteranc
 of the name of Wm. J. Bryan was tn
 signal for demonstration indescriba ble.
 The guidons of Arizona, Florida
 West Virginia, Idaho, Wyoming, Mich igan, New Mexico, North Dakota Montana, Maryland, Georgia, Louisi : ana, Vermont, Mississippi, Kansas Missouri, Minnesota, Nebraska an several other states were seen rushing moving, sweeping down upon tn standard of Nebraska, and from tha 3 time to the completion of the call c r states the Nebraska guidon was nc } lacking for company.

 Just moment preceding the at
 journment was heard the announce
 ment that Bryan would decline th
 nomination, but the motion to aC journ sine die was not to be checke
 by a little thing like that.
