leader and the convention turned to
Garfield, who had electrified the del
egates by his matchless oratory and
commanding presence.
Yesterday the support OF the other
candidates simply melted away, and
Bryan won without a struggle.
Tho Balioting.
On the first ballot, Bland got 93S;
Bryan, l05; Boies, So; Matthews, 81;
Mclean, 81; Pattison, 05; Blackburn,
SO; Pennoyer, 10; Tillman, II; Steven
son, 2; Teller, 8; Campbell, 2; Russell,
2; Hill, /. There were 1856 gold men
who refused to vote. They declined
to participate in the nomination on
the platform adopted. The latter
realized that the gold men would
probably place another ticket in the
field, or, if they did not actively op-
pose the nominees of this convention
in the campaign which was to follow,
that they would passively, at least,
give aid and comfort to the polltlcal
enemy. Pennsylvania alone OF the
gold states continued to participate IN
the proceedings. She cast her sixty
four votes for Governor Pattison to
the end. Most of the other gold men
who voted cast their ballots also for
Pattison, but there were scattering
votes for Stevenson, Hill, Russell and
Campbell :,
On the second ballot Alabama
sought to check the rout that had
already begun by changing her vote
from Boies to Bland, but Bryan was
overtaking him with giant strides.
Bland gained rs, while Bryan ad-
vanced 81. Boies was the principal
loser. His vote dwindled to 81
On the third ballot. Colorado gave
up hope of Teller, the mention OF
whose name had been cheered and

the Hoosier State; Mclean, Sibley of
Pennsylvania, Bland and others were
canvassed, and Senator Jones and
some of his associates of the silver
leaders came to the conclusion that for
geographical and other reasons the
Maine man was the most availa BILE
man for the place on the ticket with
Mr.. Bryan.
The strongest argument in his favor
perhaps was that his nomination
would at once silence the cry that the
silver cause was sectional-an impu-
tation the Arkansas Senator was quick
to rebuke when Senator Ben Tillman
avowed that such was the case in the
convention on Thursday. Mr.. Nc
and gave directions to his friends in
the Ohio delegation not to present his
name, but the Mclean sentiment was
so strong that it could not be sup
pressed. Just as the convention had
narrowed down to race between
Sewall and Mclean the latter, through
personal telegram, which was read
from the stage, withdrew his name,
and there was stampede for Sewall.
The latter was nominated, as Bryan
was, on the fifth ballot. w. e. Burke
of California nominated Sewall
On the first ballot fifteen candidates
were voted for, Sibley of Pennsyl.
vania receiving 1853, the highest num-
Der of votes. The other votes were
divided as follows: Mclean, 40; Sc
wall, 100; Harrity, 81; Judge Walter
Clark of Month Carolina, 50; Senator
Daniel of Virginia, IL; Bland 81;
Blackburn, 20; ex-Congressman Will
Jams of Illinois, 20; George Fred Will
Jams of Massachusetts, 16: Boies, 90;
Pattlson, 9; Senator White of Cali
fornia, i; Fithian of Illinois and SEN
ator Teller of Colorado, l each.
Attempt to stampede to Bland.
On the second ballot there was an
attempt to stampede the convention
to Bland, who on this ballot received
20i votes, Mclean moved up to 1888,
Sibley fell back to 1l3, and Sewall
dropped to 81. 1t locked as if
the latter was dlsastrously beaten,
but Senator Jones with his 16
Arkansas votes stood firm. He
rallied the followers of the Name
man and on the next ballot Sewall
secured o. votes. Meantime there ap-
peared to be general movement in
favor of Mclean. Some of the Bland
men deserted him and went to Nc
Lean, who led on this ballot with 2l0
After the announcement OF this vote
Bland was withdrawn by Governor
Stone of Missouri, who read a message
from the Missourian positively declin-
ing to allow his name for the Vice
Presiden nomination.
The Bland votes on the fourth bal
lot went to Sewall in large blocks,
but Mclean captured Ell ough to give
him seemingly a safe lead of goa
against 261 for Sewall. During this
roll call there had been trouble In the
Ohio delegation, which was polled
and showed fourteen anti Lean
votes locked up by the unit rule.
There was also big revolt against
Governor Altgeld's domination in the
/, Illinois delegation. Ex-Congressman

Kissed by the galleries, and Oregon
gave up Pennoyer. In the Ohio dele
cation, the Bryan forces lacked but
seven votes of majority, and there
was open rebellion in Illinois and
other states which wanted to swing
into line.
On the fourth ballot, Alabama, the
first state to vote, headed the stam-
pede to Bryan. Idaho, California and
other states followed. The revolt in
the other delegations spread, even
among those bound by resolutions OF
instruction. Kansas, Illinois, Ohio
and even Iowa were tottering.
Stampede on fifth Ballot
On the fifth and last ballot, Kansas
went over Illinois and other States
came tumbling along IN her wake.
When Ohio was reached, Bryan had
446 votes of the 504 required to make
two thirds majority of those voting.
Chairman White had ruled that two
thirds of those voting constituted the
two thirds majority under the rule.
Ohio hesitated. The Bryan men in
the delegation demanded poll vote.
The friends of Mclean saw that the
end was in sight, and Mclean himself
mounted chair. He withdrew his
name as n candidate and cast the for
ty-six votes of Ohio for Bryan. This
gave him 492, twelve less than enough
to nominate. Montana changed her
six votes to Bryan, and Oklahoma
followed with her six. To the terri
tory of Oklahoma. therefore, belongs
the honor of nominating the Demo-
cratic candidate for president in 1896,
as to that of Arizona belonged the
honor four years ago.
OF course, the other states then
scrambled over each other. Governor
Stone of Missouri withdrew BANDS
name, and Senator Turpie of Indiana
withdrew that of the Hoosier gov
ernor, and on his motion the nomina-
ton was made unanimous.

A considerable number Of researches
have been going on in the psychological
laboratory of the University of Wiscon-
sin during the current year. Mr..
Quantz, fellow in psychology, has been
investigating the psychology OF the
reading process. His main attempts
have been to ascertain what processes
help to make one a rapid reader and
how far the ease Of comprehension Is
related to the quickness of reading. The
research has not gone far enough to
yield very definite results as yet and
will be continued another year, but a
number of very significant suggestions
have been reached. Mr.. Bolton, a gradu-
ate student, has been investigating the
relation between sensation and sugges-
ton. or, in other words, how far what
we see is determined by what there is
there to see or by what we suppose Is
present. A number of ingenious
methods of studying this influence have
been devised and paper is in prepara-
ton on the subject. Another investiga-
ton relates to the question of how far
we mean the same thing by the same
words. The investigation begins with
the color-names and attempts to ascer-
tain how far what we associate with
the name "red" or "blue" is the came
for different individuals. Similar in
vestigations regarding size and shape
and other common notions are also in
'cluded in the study.

Fithian made a fiery protest against
the nomination of the Ohio editor
1t was at this critical juncture that
McLean's telegram was received Dy
one of the Ohio delegates. The tele-
gram stated it was Mr.. McLean's wish
that he should not be balloted for.
Delegate Sloan, however, after read
ing the telegram, distinctly stated
that, while the telegram expressed
Mr.. McLeans wish, it did not express
the sentiment of Ohio, which on the
fifth ballot, concluded to cast forty
six votes for Mclean. The tele-
gram, however, shattered the Nc
Lean forces, and Indiana, Iowa
and other states focked into the
camp of the Maine man. Sewall's
nomination was unanimous before the
conclusion of the roll call, amid scenes
of jubilatlon and rejoicing, in the
course of which the State standards
were paraded about the Coliseum in
the wake of the colors of Nebraska
and Maine.

The Rev. Ronard D. Worth, Bap-
fist preacher of New York, has been
granted divorce in Oklahoma. 1t ap-
pears his wife objected to his leaving
home on Sundays to preach, and even
spoiled his Sunday coat and filled his
Sunday shoes with water" These are
somewhat novel reasons for divorce,
but they are also novel methods of an
noyance for woman to employ. 1t is
evident that Mr.. Worth, being a
preacher, was forced to preach, and it
is also evident that he could not preach
with satisfactory results in a spoiled
Sunday coat and with his shoes full Of
water. 1t is unique matrimonial
complication and Mr.. Worth must be
commended for his resolute stand
against permitting wet blanket to be
thrown over his religion.

A congress of the chambers OF COM
merce Of the British empire has just
been held in London, England. on
the last day Of the session a resolution
was adopted that we hope to see put
into operation both so far as 1t applies
to England and to the United States.
1t was for the doing away of the pres
ent cumbersome standard Of weights
and measures, and in England the
abolition of the present system OF
money notation, such as pounds, shfll-
ings, etc. The resolution says that
the system of pounds, shillings, pence
and farthings is very cumbersome, es-
pecially when applied to the foreign
trade, and that the decimal system OF
dollars and cents, in vogue not only
in the United States, but also in the
dominion of Canada, is far to be pre-
ferred. 1t is suggested that the change
might be easily made by making the
pound equal to five dollars and the
shilling equal to rs cents, about what
they are now worth in actual transac-
tions. AS to weights and measures,
the decimal system, in use in all coun-
tries, but in the United States and Brit
ish empire, is the perfect system, and
should supplant the present arbitrary
one.

THE VICE PRESIDENT.
Arthur Scwall of Maine Nominated on
the Fifth Ballot.

the Fifth Ballot.
CHICAGO, July 13.-The Democratic
National convention completed it's
work Saturday afternoon. Arthur
Sewall of Maine, Bath ship-builder,
and an ardent free coinage man, was
named for vice president on ticket
headed by William j. Bryan, the elo-
quent young orator from the prairies
beyond the Missouri.
Over ESQ gold delegate decliued to
participate in the nomination for vice
president. Many of the delegates had
left the city. Whether the seceders
will place third ticket in the field,
as the minority did at Baltimore in
1850, is q matter for future develop
ment.
The nomination of Sewall for vice
president was more of surprise than
that of Bryan for president. Bryan
had set the convention atlame with
his eloquence and his name was on
every lip when the balioting began,
but Sewall's name in connection with
the vice presidency had hardly been
mentioned.

Awful Result of the Recent Monster
Tidal Wave off tho Coast of Japan.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 13.-The steam
ship Doric arrived from Yokohama
last night bringing news up to June
25. Estimates of the loss of life from
the great tidal wave reached as high
as 10000, and this number is believed
to be far below the mark. The tidal
wave was eighty feet in height and
swept inland distance of two and
half miles, along 200 miles of coast.
Thousands of acres of land under cul-
tivation were devastated, and the in
habitants of the flooded districts are
suffering from famine.

AS every other commodity is lower
the advance in the price of coal during
the hot months is without precedent
or reason. The combination, or trust,
or conspiracy, or whatever you choose
to call it, needs a shaking up. The
New York Herald says: "The price in
New York for stove size coal is just
$1.3O per ton over the price of one year
ago." Is there no redress or protection
to the people from such extortion?
Hurrah for the trusts!
