The Silver Convention NOmi-

BRYAN is A LINCOLN
He Says Bryan viii Lead to
Prosperity.
Convention AdjOurns After the
Nominations Are Made.

st. Louis, July 25.-The silver con-
! ventiOn reassemb1ed yesterday after
noon at about o'clock.
| At the conclusion of the invocation
! G. ". Baker was called upon for a re
port from the conference committee.
He said the time was too short to re-
/ port a satisfactory conclusion. There
| were not more than 100 men in the con-
| ference and two hours in which to dis
cuss the method to be pursued.
The platform was then read and a
motion made to adopt it, Mr.. Hess of
/ Illinois objected and a W0rdy Wrangle
! followed. It ended in the adoption of
the platform. It was decided by the
chairman that the recommendation re-
garding the nomination was not a part
of the platform and should be acted
upon separately.
Mr. Page of Nebraska moved that
the convention proceed to the nomina-
ton of a presidential candidate. It
prevailed. General Warner said it
would be necessary TO nominate a can
0idate rather than indorse in order
to avoid some of the peculfarities of
state ballot laws.
E. Q. Little of Kansas nominated
VIM. J. Bryan of Nebraska. He said
that through a long term of years this
country had experienced a depression
in business that had never before been
seen on this earth He spoke of the
denial of trial by jury to American cit
liens and of the platform adopted by
the Republican party It's propositions
If carried out would double the debts of
the poor. It Endorsed Cleveland and
nominated Mckinley. Continuing, he
referred to the Wall street barons.
Christ he said, "forgave the thief
and pardoned the courtesan, but the
money changers he scourged from the
temple" In 1860 the country looked to
the west for president in time of
trouble. 1t got Lincoln. Today the
country was in trouble and again it
looked to the "roWdy west" and it
would get a man, who, like Lincoln,
would lead them to prosperity. This
man was VIM. J. Bryan of Nebraska.
He would be the next president.
There was loud and vigorous ap-
plause at the conclusion of Mr.. Little's
speech. Col L. c. Pace of Nebraska
seconded the nomination Of Mr.. Bryan.
When he came into the hail. he said,
Ye Sons of Freedom and he could
scarcely refrain from exclaiming, ''All
Hail." and when he saw the stars of
the flag he felt that the stars of the
heavens were over the homes of all the
country that needed a savior He said
in the nomination of Mckinley all the
bankers and all Europe had a hand
Influences behind him. He thanked
God that this country could bank for
itself and this it was doing in behalf of
William J. Bryan of Nebraska, whose
nomination he seconded in behalf of
the great west.
A number of speeches were made and
then rules were suspended, on motion
Of P V. Wise of Missouri, and Mr.
Bryan was nominated by reclamation.
The widest enthusiasm followed.
The band played Columbia . ''Ameri-
ca and other stirring tunes while the
bowling and screaming delegates march
ed around the hall waving hats, UNI

brellas and handkerchiefs. This was
continued for ten minutes.
Mr. Baker of California then moved
that the convention proceed to the
nomination of vice president. Mr..
Troup, of Connecticut, placed the name
of Arthur SewaH Of Maine, before the
convention. He made no speech. M.
T. Niles of Ohio, seconded the nomina
ton. He had known Mr.. SewaIl for
years and his father before him and
there could be no better man than he
for the place. 1t was moved that Mr..
Sewau be declared the vice presidential
nominee by reclamation and the mo-
ton prevailed. The band played Amer
lea and the delegates sang Then they
sang the doxoIogy.
When quiet was restored, Mr.. Baker
of California, moved that each delega-
ton select a member Of the committee
to notify the nominee. The motion was
agreed to.
The roll call of states was begun but
before it was half finished, two-thirds
of the delegates had left the hall and
all visitors had gone out.
Col. Price of Nebraska offered a res
olutton declaring 1t to be the sense of
the convention that as the Democratic
party had arranged to notify Bryan and
Sewan in New York that the Silver
party notify them in Bryan's home at
Lincoln. The motion was agreed to.
Thereupon the convention adjourned
sine die.

REPUBLICANS OPEN AUG. 5.
Horr and Burrows Open the Cam
paign at Omaha on That Date.

Cleveland, July 25.-Chairman Hanna
of the Republican executive committee
has announced that no advisory com
mittee viii be appointed. It has been
believed all along that there would be
such a committee as is customary and
men close to Mr.. Hanna have predict
ed who some OF the members would be
Hanna would give no occasion for this
decision but it is said to be because no
satisfactory division of appointments
to the committee could be made in New
York, owing to the relations between
the Platt and Bliss-MiIler factions
The absence of an advisory commit
tee is deemed to be not of much mo-
ment as its duties are largely nominal
For the eastern headquarters of the ex-
ecutive committee the hotel Waldorf in
New York has been chosen. Mr.. Hanna
will be there next week to confer with
the eastern committeeman and will then
go to Chicago.
The opening meeting of the cam
paign will be at Omaha, August 5when
Roswell G. Horr and Senator Burrows
will speak. Senator Sherman will
stump the west in opposition to free
silver.

He has not been seen here since the

the intervening time in Sweden and
Norway On his return from those

two of them before it occurred to him
that the times were hard and the book

written a dozen more without detailing
all his experiences, but a falling mar
ket discouraged him, and he threw down
his pen and came west for rest and in
spiratfon. He says the book business
has not been so bad since the period
between 1873 and 1876.

Beet planting for this season is now
nearing close, and in about two weeks
more all the seed will be in the ground.
At Anaheim this week will practically
finish the seeding, while on the Chino
ranch there are yet about 700 acres to
Plant. The planting is now progressing
more slowly, as the different farmers
finish.
There are now 5400 acres planted on
the Chino ranch, and with the zoo
acres to plant it will give in the neigh
borhood of 6100 acres of a good stand.
\ very small area Of the Chino lands
failed to give a good stand, ana the re-
planting has been lighter than ever be-
fore here--not more than about 200
acres. AT Anaheim more difficulty has
been experienced At that place some
300 acres have been planted and this
will be reduced to about $500 acres of
good stand, or the same as last year.
About 5000 acres altogether are now
thinned. The crop in the Chino fields is
in excellent condition. In some places
