cooling breezes which have hitherto ia

The galleries occupants were on hand
promptly and in full force, quite prepared
to take charge of the proceedings, as they
did repeatedly yesterday. There were not
a dozen of the New York delegates in their
seats when the proceedings opened. Mr..
Whitney was there. but Mr.. Hill was con-
spicuously absent.
At i've minutes before IL o'clock Sena-
tor White of California, the permanent
chairman, took the chair and made an ef-
fort to establish degree of quiet and or
der in the hall. After five minutes de-
voted to that purpose, with very little sue
cess, prayer was offered by Rev. DR.. Gron
OF Grace Episcopal Church, Cedar Rapids
iowa, the same clergyman who officiated
the last two days.
The chair then recognized Mr.. Harritv
of Pennsylvania, who. standing in the
main aisle, was greeted with cheers. He
said:
II desire to say that in obedience to the
Instructions given by the Democratic State
Convention the Pennsylvania delegation
presents the name OF Robert e. Pattison
of Pennsylvania as candidate for the
Presidency"
The chair asked if there were any other
nominations.

DR.. MattingIy of the District of Colum-
bia, from his place in the rear of the hail,
seconded the nomination of that peerless
champion OF free silver, that true Demo-
crat and friend of labor, John r. Mclean
of Ohio.
Mr.. Miller of Oregon, on behalf of that
State, nominated Ex-Governor Pennoyer.
No other names being presented the
chair declared the nominations closed and,
first invoking order, directed the secretary
to call the roll of States. But before this
was commenced Mr.. Smith of Ohio in
formed the convention of the sudden de-
mise of the Hon. Frank Hurd. The chair
asked if any action was desired, and Mr..
Smith said not at this time.
The call of the roll then commenced.
When the first State was called Chairman
Lomax of Alabama rose to say that John
B. Knox, II. B. Foster. S. j. Carpenter. J.
H. Minge and d. r. Burgess desired to
vote for Ex-Governor William E. Russell
of Massachusetts,. but under the unit rule
he cast the twenty-five votes of Alabama
for Horace Boies.
Several of the chairmen of the delega-
tions injected little stump speeches into
their announcements OF the votes of the
delegation. Marsden, the water fend'
of Louisiana. stood up, and, holding a sill
yer dollar, said something which was
drowned in the laughter and cheers.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1896-07-11

When Massachusetts, was called dele
gate announced that the chairman and
vice-chairman were absent, and Mr.. OSul-
livan of the delegation said that these gold
men were purposely absenting themselves.
The chair took this occasion to ask
delegates to restrain themselves from
making speeches and to confine their an
nouncements to a statement of the votes.
Michigan's delegation was polled, and
several of the delegates when their names
were called responded in loud tones: 81

Minnesota brought Adlai E. Stevenson's s
name before the convention, but not a
solitary cheer greeted it.
New Jersey being reported, the chair
man of the delegatian rose and said New
Jersey respectfully declined to vote,
whereupon the galleries broke into cheers
and Kisses. The chair requested that such
demonstrations cease, and a delegate
shouted: "They are all Republicans and
ought to be put out"
The State of New York adopted the
same course as the State of New Jersey.
On being called, Ex-Governor Flower rose
and said: "In view of the platform

certain, but at its end Bryan was ali but
within the goal.
Delegates and audience became excited
when it became apparent that the Nebras-
kan had gathered many recruits from
the Bland forces, and cheer aftercheer
went up from floor and gallery. a rumor
went round the vast hall that Illinois,
consistent as Missouri in adherence to the
lifelong champion of free coinage OF silver,
was wavering, and When Governor Alt

sulsation the excitement grew to fever

threw their strength to his support the
race had been won. and William ]. Bryan
stood forth in triumph as the leader of his
party.
Exhausted Dy cheering the name of the
Nebraskan, the vast congregation in the
convention was slow to avail itself of the
opportunity for displaying the full extent
OF its vigor, but it gradually rose to the
demands of the occasion, and turned loose
volume OF sound that made the iron roof
nremble in unison. Every man and
woman In the hall was standing as the
Bryan supporters on the floor grasped the
guidons indicating the positions of the
various States and marched in triumnb
through the aisIes bounding the SQUARE
spaces reserved Tor delegates, and as the
guidons OF other States joined the process
sion the cheering became madly intense.
Bland banners, Boies banners and en-
blems OF other candidates fell into line
and the eliminating point in the entbu-
slasm was reached when the Bland band
headed by the numerous transparencies
bearing the Missourian's name. took stem
with the rest and bent their eudeayors to
"Dlxies' quickstep. When it was all
over people fell back in their chairs weak
and exhausted and listened quietly to the
formalities which concluded the session.
Tonight session was held for the mr.
pose OF selecting the candidate for Vice
President, but without proceeding to
ballot an adjournment was forced until to-
morrow at 10 A. NJ, when efforts will be
made TO complete the business of the con-

OOTNGnllOI1 OldHlOf.
CHICAGO. ILL, July 1O.-William ].
Bryan of Nebraska was selected to-day as
the standard bearer of the Democratic
party in the campaign for the Presidency
of the United States. Yesterday when the
handsome young Nebraskan mounted the
rostrum in the convention hall to close the
debate on the party platform he was con-
sidered the merest possibility in the race
for the honor to be conferred. Halt an
hour later, when he concluded his great
rhetorical effort, he had become SEEM
ing probability. With the hours of the
night his chances grew, and when the con-
vention resumed business this morning he
had been established as Richard P. Bland 6
most formidable competitor.
As the baIloting progressed his popular
ity among the delegates became more and
more apparent and his strength in votes
went by leaps and bounds until the cuImi-
nation came in the capture of Illinois and
Ohio and the withdrawal of Bland with the
consequent transfer of Missouri to the
Bryan column.
There were no glaring transparencies, no
life-sized Autographs, no special bands of
music TO attract to the eloquent lawyer
and newspaper man. The modest banner
OF the William ]. Bryan Club, Nebraska
organization, was the only conspicuous
emblem of the Bryan cause.
During the night a standard had been
prepared bearing the concluding words of
Bryan's speech of yesterday-"No crown
of thorns, no cross of gold"-and this
alone was the most suggestive outward in
dication that the Nebraskan was in the
race to stay. But it needed no artificial
means, such as these. TO keep Bryan's
name to the fore. His striking presence.
his earnest bearing, his wonderful melod-
iousness of voice as exhibited in his speech.
had not faded from the minds of dele
gates and spectators, and every mention OF
his name brought forth hearty cheers that
told the story of the firm hold he had upon
those who could make or unmake him in
his Presidential aspirations and upon the
thousands of on-lookers.
The battle of the ballots was fought
with doggedness that sho wed firm de
termination on the part of those pledged
to particular candidates to be consistent in
the desire of their hearts, but little by lit
tie the standard of Bryan was pressed
nearer and nearer to the point of vantage.
At first he gained slowly. then a great
leap would be made as some delegation of
formidable numbers would throw in its

Charles McQuinn, wandering Will
lie. struck Louisville the other day and
applied at the Wayfarers' Rest for a
nights lodging. He explained that he
had not slept in bed for three years,
and he wanted to experience a new SEN
sation by reposing just once in a nice
warm bed. He got more than his Wild
est fancy depicted. He got red-hot
bed and new sensations to throw at
the birds. The bed given him had not
had human occupant for some days,
but others than tramps banker after
warm beds. Unbeknownst to the man
ayers a swarm of bees had come IN
through the open window, and had ap-
propriated the mattress as a make
Shift hive. They resented the intrusion
of Mr.. McQuinn pointedly, so to speak,
and warmly. He was cured, perhaps
forever, of the baneful desire to sleep
in a warm bed, and took to the woods
again. Almost as painful as the sting
ing rebukes administered by the bees
was the reflection that he had worked
three hours chopping wood to get the
coveted bed.

Roadside Tree Planting.

B. w. Steere, Carthage, Ind, before
the Indiana horticultural Society,
spoke as follows:
In planting trees along our highways
the narrow roads in many places woula
appear as che of the chief difficulties
to be overcome. I have been accus-
toned to four-rod roads, as in Mlchl-
gan all section line roads are, by 'a"'
and most of the laid out roads are the
same. This width allo rs the row OF
trees to be planted eight feet from the
fence, giving nice sidewalk for scnool
children and calling neighbors, an I'M
portant matter on dirt roads. The rem
cdy that suggests itself for mario"
roads is to set the row close 10 tne
fence, in the field or out. with walk
outside of it. In the discussion OF oest
kinds see that some recommend fruit
trees. Experience has repeatedly shown
that this is a mistake. Where tried, l
have seen long rows of cherry trees,
even Morelloes, dead or half dead.
Pears are subject to blight. etc. Ap-
ple may be the best, but we who are
old know that their healthy, vigorous
life, at the longest, is quite limited.
In such work it is we'll to look away
ahead a generation or so, to reahze
that the trees we plant may not De III
their prime, under 20, 30, 50 or more
years. As to kinds. 1t Is pretty SAFE
rule to plant natives that flourish IN
your own section. Naples are eooo
| most anywhere-sugar maple pre-
ferred. but beware of too many OF one
kind. Let us remember that we are
planting for the public as well as our
selves. and break the monotony by In
