Jennings Bryan, of Nebraska, was
nominated for President, after which
the convention adjourned until night
too late for us to get the nominee for
Vice President.
The greatest political convention of
the present century met in Chicago
on Tuesday. Great, because of the
vital issues it was to decide and be-
cause the delegates TO il were not
machine made, hut came direct from
the people.
There was big fight for the tempo
rary Chairmanship of the convention
between the Hon David b. Hill. of
New York, and the Hon. John w.
Daniels, of Virginia, the first repre-
senting the Gold-standard delegates
and the second the silver men. The
object of this contest was that the gold
men might get Senator Hill in the
chair to make the big speech or the
occasion, with the hope that he might
influence the delegates, but Senator
Daniels was chosen temporary chair
man by an overwhelming majority
and then the silver men proceeded TO
organize the convention their own way.
Senator Daniels made powerful ar
gument for silver. Senator White, of
California, was atterward chosen Per.
manent Chairman OF the convention.
During the long session many speeches
were made for aud against silver, but
a large majority OF the delegates be-
ing in favor OF the white metal" its
advocates carried everything before
them.
Senator Tilghman Of South Caro-
lima made very foolish speech but
the convention before night drove him
an Altgeld to the wall. He offered
resolution denouncing the President,
but he was voted down by big ma
jority. The Baltimore HcruH SAYS

ing Americans. to whatever party they
may belong. The rebuke which Till
man received at the hands OF Senators
Hill and Jones, the latter leading
silverite, was not only deserved, but il
afforded gratifying evidence that the
conservative element of the convention
was, in no manner, swayed by the
fiery language Of South Carolina.
