NHlcaso' July l2,-Bryan and Sewall
populism and protection; abandoned
democratic usages injection of state
rights; packed supreme court; repu-
oiation; debased currency; the restor-
auon to influence long since lost of
the poiiticians of the era of the war Of
the rebellion; the clothing of Altgeldt
ana Illlman In the raiments of ortho-
aoXy-these are few of the results of
the convention which to-day completed
the work begun five days ago.
Inc ticket is called the national dem
ocratic ticket, but the candidates were
selected Without the participation of
the democratic delegates from eleven
states, three of which have always been
regarded as essential to be carried to
assure democratic success in a national
| election.
When the convention assembled yes
| teroay morning, the crowd looked as
thoueh 1t had been struck by a cy-
clone. Its numbers were thinned out
by the thousands. New York seats, for
the most part were vacant. Ex-Gov-
ernor Flower was present, representing
| the delegation as whole.
| i feel said Ex-Governor Flower,
| that 1t will be necessary to bolt this
ticket In order to get into the democrat
| ic party"
The convention band was in satir-
ical mood. 1t played There Will Be a
| Vacant Chair" Silver Threads Among
the Gold, what Tell Do We Carer"
THE Dead March in SAUL 1.-The Rob-
bers' Roost Chorus" That Long, Low,
Rakish Craft" "Hurrah for the Flag"
Cyclone March,"
The coyote ticket makers-Tillman,
Altgeld, and the rest of them-did not
get patter of applause as they came
into the hall. The sight of them nau-
seated the crowd.
| The performance began with the
nominating of George Fred Williams of
Boston for second place by one Jere-
miah T, O'Sullivan. He referred to
| Williams, as a converted "gold bug
GA few cheers greeted Williams name.)
Marsden of Louisiana presented the
name of John r. Mclean. AS Mars
den started from his seat Chairman
| Richardson grabbed the water pitcher
and glass from the desk and hid them
| beneath it. This action caused an up
roar which lasted until Marsden had
| been several minutes on exhibition.
Finally he was given chance to
| speak for Mclean. His speech was a
very poor effort.
| Next Mr.. Maloney of Washington
nominated James Hamilton Lewis of
| that state without explanations.
James H. Curry of North Carolina
nominated Judge Walter H. Clark Of
| the Tar Heel state.
Tom Johnson of Ohio nominated
George w. Fithian of Illinois.
Pennoyer, ex-governor of oregon. and
present mayor of Portland, was named
by w. A. Miller of Oregon. w. r.
| Burke of California named Arthur
| Sewall Of Maine.
Joe" Sibley Of Pennsylvania was eu-
| logized as an ideal candidate by J. D..
Showalter of Missouri. The applause
which followed this speech rather
alarmed the Mclean men.
| Bland was resurrected by Culberson
of Texas.
O. w. Powers of Utah nominated
Senator Daniel, but Delegate Jones of
Virginia declared that the senator
would not accept.
| Fred P. Morris and George w. Fifth
ian seconded the nomination of Sibley,
Mr.. Fithian taking occasion to decline
| the honor for himself. Uieric Sloan,
the most rabid silverite of the Ohio del
egation, seconded Mclean.
The result of the ballot was announc-
| ed as follows: Blackburn, 20; Bland,
g.; Teller, l; Daniel IL; Harrity, 81;
Boies, 90 Williams, Illinois, %; White,
| L; absent or excused, 253; Fithian, /;
Williams of Massachusetts, rs; Patti
son, 2; Mclean, Ill; Lewis, IL; Clark,
so; Sewall, 100; Sibley, 163. Total num-
Der of votes cast, 682. Necessary to a
choice, ASS.
| Uncle Hold" Boies name was with
drawn before the second ballot. The
Bland stampede now began. New York
and New Jersey declined to vote as
usual.
The second ballot was as follows:
Williams of Illinois, 19; Clark, %; Pat
| tison, 1; Harrity I'll Bland, 294 Will
liams of Massachusetts,, 16; Mclean,
| 1853; Sewall, 81; Sibley, 113. Absent or
not voting, 255. Total vote cast, CTS.
| Necessary to a choice, $50.
Amos J. Cummings now read a letter
| from "Joe" Sibley stating that Sibley
declined to run. The vote for SeWall
| now began to increase.
The result of the third ballot was off,
cially announced as follows: Pattison,
l.; Daniel 6; Bland, 255; Mclean, 210;
Sewall, 81; Sibley, 10; Williams of Mas
sachusetts, Is; Clark, o.
| At this point Governor Stone of Mis-
souri, withdrew Mr.. Bland. The latter
| had telegraphed, he said, that in his
| opinion it would be unwise and impol-
! itic to nominate two candidates from
the west Of the Mississippi river. This
| took Bland out Of the race, and Sewall
and Mclean became the leading candi-
| dates.
| The fourth ballot stood: Williams of
| Massachusetts, 8; Clark, As; Harrity,
| Il; Pattison, L; Daniel, "a; Sewall, 261;
Mclean, 296. Whole number of votes
cast, 67S; absent or not voting, 252; nee
essary to a choice, 452.
| McLean's name was now withdrawn
| in accordance with telegram from
him. The effect of this was to turn
more votes to Sewall. Georgia, Michi-
gan and Indiana abandoned Mclean
| for Sewall.
1t was o'clock when the last terri
| tory voted on the ballot. The band
struck up a tune and the tellers started
in on their work of computation.
Suddenly Altgeld of Illinois jumped
