BRYAN IS NOMINATED
Selection of the Populist Ma
tiOnal Convention.
WATSON FOR vICE-pIESlDENT
The National Committee Given Plenary
Power I'm All Things Connected
With the Party.

William Jennings Bryan. of Ne
braska, who was nominated by the
Democratic national convention at Chi
cago, fortnight ago, was, Saturday.
at ST. Louis, made the standard bearer
of the Peoples party by vote Of / ,042
to S2l.
The Democratic candidate was nomi-
mated in the face of his own protest, in
the shape of a telegram, directing the
withdrawal of his name, sent to Sena-
tor Jones, after Sewall, his running
mate, had been ditohed for the vice.
presidential nomination Friday night,
and Thomas f. Watson. of Georgia,
had been named for the second place
on the ticket. 1t was also made in the
face of an opposition SO bitter that,
after the convention adjourned, some
of the radicals held a trump" oonven-
ton.
The last session of the convention,
which lasted from $50 o'clock in the
morning until o'clock in the evening,
was marked by scenes of turbulence

His Mistake.

The New York Recorder gives q
story of a young lawyer who evidently
did not consider the wellknown learn
ing of the Judge sufficient reason for
emitting evidence Of his own attain
ments.
The Judge was compelled to listen
to a case that had been appealed from
one of the police courts. The young
practitioner who appeared for the appeL
liant was long and tedious: he brought
in all of the elementary textbooks, and
quoted the fundamental propositions OF
the law.
At last the Judge thought It was
time to make an effort to close the argu'
ment.
.Can we not assume" he said pomp'
ously. .sthat the court knows little
about law itselfg'
aThat's the very mistake made 10
the other court answered the young
orator. land / don't want to let It -
feat me twice.

THE SILVER CONVENTION.

Bryan Nominated for President and
Sewall TOT Vice President.
st. Louis, Mo-At the first days
session of the silver convention not
much Roadway was made. The pro-
gramme of the conference was all ar.
ranged in advance. 1t included simply
the adoption of 16.to-1 platform and
the nomination of Bryan and Sewall,
but those in charge of it deemed it
good policy to go slow in the belief that
they might, by remaining in season. be
able to exercise an influence in shaping
things in the Populist convention. To
this end, they appointed committee of
seven, headed by Judge Scott, of Cali.
fornia, to meet similar committee of
the Populists for the purpose of reach
ing a common plan of action. The
convention was called to order by Ma
tional Chairman Mott, who introduced
Francis B. Newlands, of Nevada, as
temporary chairman. Mr. Newlands
addressed the convention at some
length, and was followed by other
speakers setting forth the claims of the
silverites.

tician, was practicirg law In Tomb.
stone, Ari., he had occasion to visit;
Phoenix. On the way there the stage
was held up by a lone highwayman,
who not only robbed the mail and ex-
press box, but searched all of the pas
sengers. The fellow found about 81
600 in the express box and Fitch lost
500, besides a gold watch and chain.
While still in Phoenix the robber was
captured, and hearing that Fitch was
In town sent for him. Fitch's face ap-
peared familiar, but the highwayman
had forgotten where he had seen 1t,
and Fitch said nothing about the mat
ter.
"What will you defend me for?" be
asked.
"Well, I'll tell you what I'll do" said
Fitch. ''I'n defend you for 5000, but
I'll agree to get you out free on writ
of habeas corpus for $500"
Cali right, it's 60"
The fellow told Fitch where MS mon
ey was concealed, and the attorney
found it. AS soon as he had 1t safely
slowed away in his gripsack he started
home for Tombstone, and left the rob-
Der to take care of himself.
A couple Of months later Fitch was
nearly frightened out of his wits to see
the robber walk into his office.
81 see you recognize me-" said he
.sbut you needn't feel alarmed. You
| robbed me"
"Yes, but you robbed me first" ex
claimed Fitch. II was on that stage.
"Well, l don't care to reproach yor
or anything of the sort. l have es
caped from Jail and all want Is money
enough to get back to my old home IL
Pennsylvania, where I will lead an hon
est life"
"Why, certainly, my boy, declared
Fitch. wait right here till can &c
to the bank and get it."
Fitch returned moment later witt
the Sheriff and saved S10O.-San Fran

Carried Down the Side Of . Mountain in
It's Fall.
Mexico, July 27.-A remarkable
phenomenon at the mine Of Carlos
Reyes, In the state Of chihuahua. &C.
CURED at O'Clock yesterday. A tre-
menduous explosion was heard and an
enormous mass of burning matter was
seen to fall from the heavens. striking
the side Of the mountain and bringing
with it in its course entire cliffs, and
finally plunged 700 feet into the
ground making hole from which
boiling water still issues. One OF the
most singular PHENOMENA observed was
the heavy rain falling from the sky
Immediately after the descent OF the
