Greek System of Voting.

From the London News
l remember M. Tricoupis describing to me
with much spirit and lucidity the precise
method Of Greek voting. There Is an urn
for each candidate, and every voter must
vote yes" or no" for each candidate.
This breeds endless confusion, as NJ. Tri-
coupis pointed out to me, for though voters
set out with explicit party tickets and the
best intentions. they can rarely be induced
to vote yes" for their own partisans only.
When they have come to the urn Of a man
Tor whom they have a sneaking liking they
forget that a vote for him will neutralize
the votes given for their own partisans,
and they cannot always bring themselves
to blackbail
The beauty Of the SYSTEM NJ. Tricoupis
remarked with smile. us that it is found
ed on no principle whatever. 1t was part
OF the constitution Of the Ionian Isles-the
only part We retai lined at the time OF their
union with Greece" And how did 1t come
TO exist In the Ionian Isles?" 1 asked. 'They
got 1t from the English, who probably de-
rived 1t from their clubs"

There was a very marked falling off In
the attendance at the coliseum on this,
the fifth morning of the democratic
national convention, the great gallery
sxpanses IN the hall not being used to
3ne-nfth their seating capacity. The
sections assigned to delegates showed
rows upon rows of empty chairs. but
all signal poles of the states were In
their proper positions, including the
Badger Of Wisconsin, which General
Bragg had complained of last night as
having been stolen during h great
racket Of tho Bryan nominat ton, n
as having been "Trailed In the cortege
Of the victor"
The chairman OF the Pennsylvania
delegation, Mr.. Harrity, was present
but most of his co-delegates had left
the city. Some of the New York dele
gates were in the hall, but IL was agreed
that they were to take no partin the vot-
Ing for vice president. The New Jersey
delegates were absent In a body. Cen
eral Bragg and most of the delegates
from Wisconsin were on the floor, but
,nly the five Wisconsin silver men were
to east their individual votes for the
vice presidential candidate.
At IL a. m. the chairman. Senator
White OF California, called the onven

the platform and said, amid great noise
and confusion, that the delegates from

PlEASES THE POPUllSTS.
The st. Louis Convention VIII In
dorse the Free Silver Nominee.

Chicago, July 1l-The leaders of the
national party and the populist party
who are in Chicago declare unanimously
that their organization will indorse
Bryan at the convention in st. Louis
July %.
Many Of the prominent men of these
parties a V been here during the m
vention watching proceedings, and In
ar unofficial a working for silver.
Among them are Senator Jones, Sena-
tor Stewart and Congressman New
lands of Nevada, ex-Congressman Pence
Of Colorado, and many lesser lights.
An excellent understanding exists be-
tween the two organizations, and the
convention was appointed for the same
day in st. Louis with the end In view
that they might unite pom a candidate,
or, if the democratic organization
should nominate a man satisfactory to
them, so they might indorse his nomi-
nation. So far as the men now in Chi
cage are concerned the latter action is
a settled fact. The national silver party
was organized ahou q year ago TO give
political place to men who had left ex.
listing parties because neither Of the two
great ones were committed to free sill
yer. In a quiet way It has been forming
an organization in all Of the states,
which It's leaders expect will prove a
strong ally for democrats In the cam
palgn, If II does not become merged into
that organization.
Alex Dellmar, OF New York, state
chairman Of the silver party and dele
gate to the St. Louis convention, said:
II have consulted with the principal
members of the silver party and all are
very much delighted with the nomlna
tion OF Bryan and strongly OF the opin.

Of the few men We might nave selected
ourselves for our candidate had we

CR0WDING TO SEE BRYAN.
Everybody In Chicago Wants to Sec
the Nominee.

Chicago, July 11.-Mr. William ]. Bry-
an managed to get some much needed
rest last night, the first for several days.
He had gone to bed with the rising OF
the sun yesterday morning and was up
and about again by the time most men
open their eyes. He slept later than US
ual this morning. but the rest did him
good n he looked better and fresher
han last night after the long hours OF
anxiety and excitement incident TO his
candidacy.
People were crowding into Mr.. Bry-
ans room al the Clifton house this
morning when a United Press reporter
called and all were being received pleas
antly by the candidate and his wife.
Mr.. Bryan told the reporter that he had
postponed mis- departure from Chicago
to Salem. Ills, his birthplace, until Mon
day morning next. He and Mrs. Bryan
will go there on one OF the regular rains
and will remain for the rest OF the week.
II have nothing to say for publication

before / am able to answer all of them"

B0IES IS SATISFIED.
Says Bryan Is the Strongest Man
That Could Have Been Nomina.

Suys bryan Is INC Man
That Could Have Been Nomina-
ted.
Waterloo. Ia, July 1I-When the
news OF Bryan's nomination reached
Governor Boies he expressed great sat
istaction at the outcome OF the contest.
He said: II consider Bryan the strong
est man that the democrat Is could posi-
bly, have nominated: he Is a young man,
thoroughly posted on the topics OF the
day, and will stand a better show of
carrying the doubtful states. than any
other man who could have been named.
! believe he viii make the race in Iowa
a close one. or the other doubtful
states, such as Indiana, Illinois, Min
nesota, Nebraska and Michigan, 1 be-
lleve he is the man to carry them. He
will poll a larger vote in these than any
other man that could have been named.
I might have polled as many votes In
Iowa as ne, but perhaps no more. and
In the other states named he Will prove
stronger. He Is a young man, but that
is not against him. He is able and per-
fectly capable Of filling the Office.
He will be able TO do more toward
uniting the sINtT IoTNts OF the nat1On
than any other man whose name was
presented 10 the convention. The pop
ulists will undoubtedly indorse his NOM
nation, and thus increase the chances
OF success in November. The bimetal-
lists. who meet in state convention al
Des Molnes next Tuesday and in ma
tional convention at st. Louis on the
ed. will also indorse him and give him
enthusiastic support"
Friday afternoon at $50 Mr.. Boies
wired the following to Mr.. Bryan:
w. j. Bryan. Convention Hall. Chi
cago: Accept Iowa's o hearty o
gratulations. She will be with you In
November. Horace Boles.
Mr.. Boles later sent this dispatch:
A. Van Wagenen. Palmer House. Chi
cago: Start a boom for Caldwell for
vice president II possible.
