stormed the Coliseum in anticipation of

to disappointment as the leaders had

determination. the public pushed on to
their places in the bewilGerng galleries.
They cheered and shouted while the
band played Columbia Gem of the

At S:52 Chairman White, in very
husky voice, ordered the delegates to
take their seats and commanded the
noise to quit. At S:54 the convention
was in order. Governor Stone of Missouri
moved that the convention adjourn I'M

MAKING A VICE PRESIDENT.
The silver Leaders Have Not Yet Selected
Bryan's Running Mate.


CHICAGO, July 1.-THE Silver lead
ers constituting the steering committee,
which has had until last night no meet
ing since the convention opened, again
found, after the nomination of Mr..
Bryan, that it had business on its hands
in the selection of proper candidate
for vice president. A call for a confer
ence at the Sherman House was accord
ingly passed around in the convention
hall and the meeting assembled a few
minutes before II o'clock last night.
The committee found itself with a
wealth of candidates on its hands, in
Guiding John h. Mclean and Allen w.
Thurman of Ohio, Joseph Sibley of
Pennsylvania. ex-Congressman Will
liams and ex-Congressman Fithian and
G. K. Ladd of Illinois and Arthur Sc
well of Maine. The names of Senator
Turpie and Governor Matthews of In
diana and Senator Daniel of Virginia
were also mentioned.
The conference decided that it would
be impolitic to take any man from east
Of the Alleghenies or south Of the Ohio
and Potomac. This cut ont Sibley,
Sewell and George Fred Williams of
Massachusetts, who was also mentioned.
Mr. Sewell's name was very favorably
considered but it was objected to him
that Massachusetts is September cleo
ton state.
The conference closed at 2 o'clock
without reaching any conclusion except
that each member present should in
form his delegation of the names pre-
sented. The objection of location was
changed effectually against Mr., Bland.
The general consenus of opinion APP
peared to be that the candidate should
come from Ohio, Illinois or Kentucky.
The feud between Thurman and Nc
Lean was made so evident that it looked
impracticable to select either.
The name of Governor Matthews of
Indiana was received with considerable
favor, as was that of Mr.. Shively, the
present Indiana candidate for governor.
Senator Blackburn's name was men,
toned, but he was ruled out by the
southern men on the ground of loca-
ton. The northern men were generally
favorable to him.
1t was stated in the conference that
Mr.. Bryan had refused absolutely TO in
dictate preference as to individuals for
q running mate.
The evening bulletin. [volume] (Maysville, Ky.) 1887-1905, 1896-07-11

His name was barely mentioned in
the preliminary skimishes When the
convention met, he was not entered in
the list. But Thursday he made an inn
FASHIONED speech and stirred the conven-
ton to frenzy by his eloquence. That
speech overthrow the diligently organ
lied work of weeks and months for
other aspirants for the honor. The
cause of silver was uppermost in the
minds of the delegates when they as
sembled here. For the cause they de-
liberately placed the eastern wing Of
the party on the alter. Now, when the
convention is coldly analysed, it is seen
that the support of Bland and Boies as
candidates was never solidly founded.
1t was only as the representatives of
the issue that they rallied delegates to
their standards and even after many of
them had attached themselves to the
fortunes to one or the other of the can
didates they appeared restless and in an
instructive way to be casting about for
a new Moses.
The far-seeing, staid and seasoned
leaders, seeing that the new crowd
would ALLEVIATE the eastern Democracy,
believed in an alliance with the silver
Republicans beyond the Missouri.
through Teller's nomination, but the
rank and file would have none of it.
Thursday, when Bryan made his
speech, the delegates saw in him the
great advocate of their cause, and they
turned to him with an impetuosity that
nothing could balk. They wanted
tribune of the people. They felt that
they had found him in the young Ne
braskan, who set their imaginations ON
fire. If he had been placed in nomina-
ton then the convention would have

How Bland Received the News.

LEBANON, Mo, July 11.-Within five
minutes after the bulletin announcing
Bryan's nomination at Chicago was
posted, Hon. r. p Bland was receiving
the condolences of his many friends
with a smile on his face that betokened
genuine relief rather than disappoint-
ment. In conversation with an Asso-
ciated Press representative he strongly
endorsed Mr.. Bryan, both as a states
man and silver man, and declared his
entire satisfaction with the result of the
conventions work. He knows nothing
concerning the influences that contrib
uted to his defeat, nor does he appear to

CHICAGO, July 11.-William Jennings
Bryan of Nebraska, the classic featured
orator from the plains of the Platte,
swept the convention off its feet yester-
day and was nominated for president on
the fifth ballot. Political history fur
nishes no precedent for yesterdays pro-
ceedings in the Coliseum, either as a
great spectacular show, or as the result
of the celebrations of convention of a
great political party. Bryan is but SO
years old, younger by 10 years than any
man ever nominated for the chief mag
istracy of the American republic. He
came like young Lochinvar out of the
west, which has never before nomi.
mated presidential candidate, to WOO
the bride for whose hand the country
greatest chieftains have been suitors.
