Who is the grandest wheel horse in the

pivotal state. Nominate him, and we

The clerk took up one of the tally
sheets for the purpose of beginning to
CALL when blonde gentleman with a
large red flower glowing under his chin,
stepped UP in front of the platform
and said:
81 do not want to get up on the
platform but 1 want to put in nominal
ton James Hamilton Lewis, of the
great state of Washington.
Acting Chairman Richardson, to
whom Senator White had delivered

To this the gentleman replied: 81 am

fusion, and 1t was developed at once
that there was to be a big field of
candidates. The Southern states at
the beginning went for Sewell, with the
solid votes of Arkansas and Florida
cast for him. Sibley made his first
great strike, with the solid delegation
of Illinois. Notwithstanding his with
drawal it was evident that some of Nc
Leans adherents were standing by him.
He received Michigans solid vote. Con-
necticut with two votes and Delaware
with three honored William r. Harrity,
whose impartial use of his powers in
opening the convention made him popu-
lar with both factions Maine as a
matter of state pride, as she explained,
cast her ten votes for her leader. When
New Jersey announced that she declined
to vote and New York followed with
the same statement, the gold gallery
gods sent up a shrill yell which the
silver men answered with hisses
Chairman Smythe for Nebraska, said
that she was prepared to accept the
combined wisdom of the convention,
and asked to be excused from taking
any part in the contest. Chairman
Findley of Ohio, declared the wish of
McLean's state to cast her solid vote
for him despite his withdrawal, but his
opponents in the state wanted to be put
on record for Delegate Clay de-
manded roll call. Mclean got thirty
votes on the call, the others were di-
vided between Fithian and Sibley and
under the unit rule all of the AS were
recorded for Mclean. Utah cast her six
votes for Sewell, Virginia her "a votes
for Clark, West Virginia her IL for
Williams of Massachusetts, Vermont
4 for Mclean, the other four refusing to
vote. The five silver votes in Wisconsin
were cast for Sibley. When the terri
tory of Alaska. declined to vote the gall
leries gave faint cheer. Before the
vote was announced Oregon gave up
Pennoyer and went to ESibley and South
Dakota changed from Sewell to Har-
rity. Judge Corcoran of the Massa-
chusetts delegation, which had with the
exception of three silver delegates de-
clined to participate in the nominat-
ions, arose. With a suspicion of grim
smile playing about his mouth he said:
Massachusetts unanimously leaves the
fortunes Of her distinguished son in the
hands of this convention" The band
then struck up a lively air while the
tally clerks footed the totals of the first
ballot. The vote in detail was as fol-

Abundant Timber O1ered to the
Convention,


| Convention.
J. H. Currie, of NortA Carolina-'I
| come here to place in nomination a
man whom 1 think, when 1 mention his
name, is known not only within the
| confines of his own state but from one
| end of this broad land to the other
| 1 know this convention will make no
mistake in nominating him to follow
| our great leader to victory. 1 come to
! place in nomination man who is re-
| vered and honored in his own state and
all over the country where he is known;
and what more can any man ask than
to be honored by all the people? [ will
place in nomination the name of Judge
Walter Clark, our honored and gifted
son, now on the supreme court bench
OF North Carolina (Applause).
The chairman: ct gives me pleasure
now to present to you a gentleman who
is well known to many of you. I pre-
sent to you the big hearted the honest
the brave and courageous Tom John
son, of Ohio
This announcement was greeted by
tremendous applause.
Mr.. Johnson, Ohio: II come before
you today to put in nomination for the
vice president, George w. F'ithian, of
Illinois. He was for several years
member Of congress, and his action on
every vote there places him in entire
accord with your platform and he has,
l think, the qualification that is abso-
lutely necessary for the vice presi-
dency; he is not a wealthy man. This
fight will have to be won by the plain
people-by the people on one side who
arc interested in humanity against
property on the other side. (Applause.)

that the Democratic party has started
a great revolution for the interests of
the people. And in free silver al

movement for the good of humanity
and therefore / am with you heartily.
Make not the mistake of thinking that
you can by merely nominating men.
with money, accomplish anything. 1t
will chill the ardor of this convention:
1T will chill the people. Have both men
poor men. Mr.. Fithian fills the bill.
He was an honorable member of con-
gress. He comes from state that is
pivotal. He is in just that position to
add to the strength of the ticket, and
l hope to God you will nominate him.
(Applause)
Mr.. Miller, Oregon: ST desire to place
in nomination for the office of vice
president, man who will unite under
oui pelhlteI' oil the IdDOr1nS men IN
this country; one who comes from the
common people, a man who has been
twice elected governor of the great
state of Oregon as a Democrat If you
place upon this ticket, alongside the
distinguished William J. Bryan, of Ne
braska, the name of the distinguished
governor of Oregon, you will make no
mistake. I appeal to you to recognize
and place upon the ticket the name of
Sylvester Pennoyer, of Oregon. Great
applause)

REHABILITATION.

After the announcement Of the third
ballot Gov. Stone stepped forward. He
thanked the convention for the honor
it had shown his state. Then he con-
tinued: II am in receipt of telegram
from Mr.. Bland. He says substantially
that he would deem it unwise and in
pSllitic to. nominate both candidates
from West of the Mississippi river. He
desired me to say that the nomination
of Mr.. Bryan has his warm and hearty
approval and thinks the nomination
for president should be made for
one subject alone and that to strength
en- the ticket. Accordingly he desires
his name withdrawn
The Bland men cheered this an
nouncement and the workers on the
floor began to readjust their plans to
meet the new situation. The progress
of the fourth ballot was watched with
intense interest. Georgia shifted her
&c votes from Bland to Mclean amid
the enthusiasm of the Ohioans Every
announcement of addition to Mclean
strength was
GREETED WITH WILD APPLAUSE
Mississippi cast her votes for Sewell.
Chairman WarfieId, of the Maryland
delegation, cast nine votes for Nc
Lean. oregon changed her eight votes
from Bland to Sewel1 and South Caro-
ma ana SOutn DaKOLa followed her
lead into the maine mans camp.
The contest had now narrowed down
to a race between Mclean and Sewell.
Delegations that had retired for con-
sultation filed in. Intense excitement
prevailed. Alabama cast her % votes
for Sewell. When John Powers, of
Illinois, announced that Illinois cast 48
votes for Mclean there was a scene Of
wild confusion Men surged about the
Illinois standard. Ex-Congressman
Fithian jumped on his chair, his face
af1ame with passion.
1--WE cannot afford to nominate that
man" he shouted, ION the platform we
have adopted I challenge the vote of
the delegation" The convention was
in an uproar. = Fithian continued to
cry out his protest while the chairman
raped and called for order At last
order was restored and the roll of the
delegation was called. It showed %
for Mclean, 10 for Sewell and 10 alb
sentees, but under the unit rule the 48
votes went to Mclean. Tennessee gave
her "a votes to SeweH and Virginia

against the nomination of the Ohio edi-.
tor It was at this critical juncture
that McLean's telegram stated that it
was Mr. McLean's wish that he should
not be balloted for. Delegate Sloan,
however, after reading the telegram,
distinctly stated that while the tele-
gram expressed Mr.. McLean's wish, 1t
did not express the sentiment of Ohio,
which on the fifth ballot continued to
cast 46 votes for Mclean. The tele-
gram, however, shattered the Mclean
forces and Indiana, Iowa and other
states fiocked into camp of the Maine
man. SewalPs nomination was unani-
nous before the conclusion of the roll
call, amid scenes of jubilation and re-
joicing in the course of which the state
standards were paraded about the
Coliseum in the wake of the colors OF
Nebraska and Maine. 1t seems prob
able tonight that the campaign head
quarters will be transferred from New
York to Chicago, in order to bring them
nearer to the heart of the coming tray,

macy of silver in the party VIII be

of California.

William r. Burke, of California -
What L shall say to you at this juno
tire, L know in one respect will COM
mend itself to you. Taking into ac-
count the great mission that has called
US into convention, it seems to me that
we should consider matters far beyond
the reach Of this great body. We should
consider that there,-are people whom
we represent to vote on this great
question, and those people represent
a of the great sovereign states. There
fore, geographically speaking, it should
prompt US. as well as the question Of
ability 1t would not become me To saw
aught of any gentleman whose name
has been brought before you in this
convention. But it seems to me that
when we come to make up the remain
ing portion of this ticket, we should
consider those states beyond the Blue
Ridge mountains
! present a candidate who represents
every element which is presented to
you in your platform and in your dis
tinguished candidate for the presidency.
William j. Bryan. l take pleasure in
pre- senting for your careful Consider
alton the name of Arthur Sewall, -ef
Maine. And Mr.. President, it mavy-b be
well said of him in connection with the
great questions involved in this matter.
and the interests which are before Won
! that he will fulfill the pledges which
have been made by your platform. You
will make no mistake in nominating
him. Applause)
j. D. Showalter, of Missouri: When
great crisis arises, a great statesman
is produced to meet it. Great issues
produce great men. Yesterday the star
OF destiny took its flight westward and
pointed it's index finger to the fair and
fertile plains of Nebraska, and the man
you selected will a modern Moses who
will lead our people from the land of
bondage into the regions of freedom.
Perish the thought that we were gov
erned by sectional interests and section
al impulses in our choice. We recog-
nize as Democrats an indissoluble union
Of indissoluble and equal states, divided
as the pillows, but one as the sea- ZAP

REHABILITATION.


Before the second ballot was begun
Delegate Van Wagner, of Iowa, with
drew Gov. Boies name. At the very
beginning of the second roll call, AL
ALBANIA tried to start stampede for
Bland by announcing that Alabama,
which had on the first ballot divided
her vote among five candidates, cast
her % votes for Richard Parks Bland,
whose name meant 16 to 1. California
fell into line with Is votes and Idaho
and Montana each for Bland. There
was trouble in the Illinois delegation,
but Gov. Altgeld held the delegation
for Sibley Iowa divided her thirty
votes between Mclean and Bland. In
diana and Kentucky were passed;
Kansas went for Bland; Michigan
chung to Mclean; Nevada was trans
ferred to Bland column. Massa-
chusetts with the exception of two
silver votes, both for Williams, declined
to vote and ex-Gov. Flower sat silent in
his seat as New York was called. When
Rhode Island was called Richardson
was welding the gavel and announced
that he was authorized to cast the vote
of the state for Harrity. Iowa after
roll call announced her vote for Sibley,
Kentucky broke the unit rule and di-.
Vided her vote.
The turning of the tide toward Bland
drew curious eyes upon the Missouri
delegation, to learn what policy that
state would adopt in the position now
forced upon it. Its popular chairman
Gov. Stone, was on his feet. Missouri
was to play a passive part. The state
had presented the name Of one Of her
distinguished sons for the presidential
nomination. he said. By the wisdom of
the. convention another was chosen.
He had no authority to offer Bland for
second place. If he were selected by
this convention it must be done of it's
own accord and without any solicita-
ton. Then he announced that Mis-
sourYs vote was divided among sew
eral candidates.
The vote in detail was as follows:
