With the exception OF the Interruptions
caused by several little showers during the day
and evening, the celebration was a complete
success. The fireworks were well selected and
made a good display.

comment was "Who is Stevenson,
and when some one responded, He
was vice president under Cleveland
1t was observed "Why, he's n gold
bug, amt he?"
StevensOn's nomination fell like n
wet blanket upon Democrats. They
shook their heads, replaced their
spectacles In their pockets and walk
ed away.
One good Democrat, leaning on
the window sill, said to a fellow
Democrat, after he had read the last
bulletin, I'VE won't carry an eastern
state" To which his friend replied,
I'VE may, nut it don't look like it
now"
Another said. "I'm going In give
- n few dollars to bet on McKin-
ley"
On the other hand Republicans
smiled and turned to josh their Dem
ucratic friends. The nominations
aud the platform seemed tosuitthcm
exactly and frequent offers were
heard To lay money ON the success 81
the Republican ticket.
W. VI. Blackiord was about the
only local Democrat who appeared
to think his ticket could win and he
placed his reliance on S~tevenson's
nomination carrying Illinois for the
Democrats. but when offered a wager
that Illinois would give l0O,O 900 ma
iority for Mckinley he would not
take II.
Among Lewistown Democrats
there appeared to be no nor con.

that Clark and his crowd had been
given seats, joyful expressions were
heard. But this was natural-they

In front Of the Bulletin Beard.

During the past week the varying
expressions made by those who read
the bulletins in the ARGUS win
dow would be quite interesting
II all recorded. Some OF them were
amusing.
One man-it's evident he never
read the newspapers-asked n friend
who the Republicans had nominated
for vice-president and being told
Theo. Roosevelt, remarked, "Why
didn't they put up Hobart-he was
a pretty good man; but that's the
way with Republicans, they always
turn n good man down."
The demeanOr Of perhaps twenty
Democrats was noted when they
read the bulletin announcing Bryan's
nomination, but not IL cheer was
heard.
There was considerable curiosity
to know who would he Bryan's run

Stevenson was posted, the general

Kansas City, July G.-Th Demo-
cratic national ticket was completed
today by the nomination If Adlui
f. Stevenson, ior vice president. The
nomination was made on the first
ballot, state after state joining In the
wild scramble TO record their sup.
port for the winning candidate. 1t
was not marked by any such frantic
demonstrations Of approval as had
marked the proceedings at previous
stages, although the result followed
a spirited and at times highly dra-
matte contest between the advocates
Of Stevenson. Towne. Hill and the
lesser candidates.
The distinct triumph of the day in
the way of popular ovation was that
accorded to Senator Hill and this
spnntaneity and it's wild enthusi-

features the convention has produc-

remarkable scene, when Hill earnest

being placed IN nomination and then,
finding his protest in vain. he STROBE
to the platform, and in tones which
left no doubt o, their sincerity, earn
estly bcsought the convention not to
make him the nominee.
The proceedings today moved with
greater hriskness than on the two
preceding days, for there was none
Of the tedious waits over platform
and committees. The aspect OF the
vast auditorium was truly Demo-
cratic when the session began. An
ticipating the close Of theconvention
the general public was admitted
freely, and as q result great crowds
emptied into the body OF the hall,

possession OF the proceedings and at
times the chairman aud his officers
were 50 powcrl'Ss to proceed that

tanned, received only a faint and
short demonstration, the applause
being only continued for a few min
utes. 1t was regarded as significant
OF the spirit OF the delegates.
But the great battle OF the conven-
ton has not been fought under the
eyes of cheering thousands, but in
the privacy OF closely guarded quar-
tiers of the committee on platform.
Here was waged throughout last
night and again this morning one Of
the most remarkable struggles that
has ever marked this historic party.
On the one hand was the influence OF
Bryan aud the thsolute unity OF de-
V"tion felt towards him and the
cause oi silver With which his name
is ~lnscparably linked. ON the other
hand were nianF Of the patriarchs of
the party, mel ike Daniel OF Virginia,
insisting that tie very life Of the or
ganization was endangered by cling
ing to its old issues and claiming
that the duty OF the hour called for
new issues basel upon new aud vital
events.
This contest vas at last narrowed
down to one Issue OF specifically re-
affirming the Tarty's adherence to
the is tn l standard as desired by
Bryan, oil OF re-affirming the silver
plank In more general terms. And
on this issue, th. brains, the sagacity,
the persuasive eloquence and the
best ability oi tie convention has for
the last 3G hours been engaged in u
battle royal fer supremacy. And
out OF this fierce struggle the adler
ents OF Bryan emerged Scared, but
victorious. Built was n victory by
a scratch, for a single vote would
have turned the scale. This has not
been Il victory without concession.
for in the final draft the silver issue
is no longer paramount. 1t il far

ialism is the paramount Issue Of the

WAR NEWS

On Friday, April Goth, the London
papers were advised that heavy rains
had greatly impeded the movements Of
the troops around Bloemfontein. The
rivers were in food and the rosds We're
50 muddy as to be almost impossible.
The Beers in Natal were reported to be
carrying on a guerilla warfare. Gen.
Botha was formally appointed COM
mander-in-chief of the Boer armies,
with Gen. Schalkburger as Ills principal
lieutenant. Wepener seemed to be hold
ing out well and inhicting severe dam
age on the Beers who attacked.
On Saturday it was announced that
Gems. Chermside and Rumble with about
90, 900 British were forcing their way
through the mud to the relief of Wepen-
er. Beers in the district surrounding
this town, who lately surrendered to the
English, were being forced to again take
up arms.
Sundays dispatches stated that fight
ing was probably in progress at Dewets-
dorf and Alexander. There was slight
engagement at Elandslaagte in which
the Beers were repulsed. Methuen' 8
force near Boshof also repulsed an at
tack on some wagon trains. Heavy Boer
reinforcements were on their way to
Wepener in anticipation of English at
tempts at relief. President Steyn al.
nounced that he had positive informa-
ton that Europe would soon intervene,
and encouraged the burghers to contin-
ne the struggle until that happened
On Monday came news of fighting at
Wepener. 1t was thought Gen. Rumble
had fought decisive battle there, but
no details got through. Gen. Butler was
expected to resign almost any time, and
Gen. Warren to take the governorship
of the Free State. There was an uncon-
firmed rumor that the Boer general De-
wet had been killed The Boer forces
around Wepener were estimated at more
than 80, 900.

Bloemfontein waterworks came Tues
day. After hard fight the British sue
ceeded in dislodging the Beers from their
position on a hill called Leeuw Kop.
The British loss was considerable. A
big gun foundry was equipped in Pre-
toria and the first gun turned out sent
to the Free State. Gen. Brabant con-
tinued to push on slowly toward WEEP
ener, the Beers retiring before him. A
dispatch from Vienna stated that the
| Boer peace commissioners would not be
received either at Vienna, ST. Peters
burg, Berlin or Rome.
Wednesday there was further news of
the Leeuw Kop battle. 1t indicated
that the Beers were more decisively de-
feated than was at first supposed Gen.
Rumble, advancing toward Wepener,
found the opposition of the burghers
much stronger than he had anticipated,
and was waiting for rejnforcements be
fore going further.

Auermiller VS.

All of the cases against the Railway
company except that of Hubbard, adj
ministrator, grow out of the petitions
for condemnation proceedings by prop
erty-owners ON Franklin and Quay SITS.
1t is not expected that these cases can
be finally disposed of at this term. They
come before the court at this session on
motions to show cause why the company
should not be permitted to amend its
answers to the petitions The Hub
bard suit is to recover damages for the
heirs of An.gew T. Weblin, who was
killed in railway accident some years
ago. The Rotsol case against the Two
Rivers Mfg. Co. is to recover damages
for injury. Both the last named cases
have been to the Supreme Court and
are being tried at the circuit for the
second time. Bischof VS. Knipfer and
Langenhahn VS. Schroeder are actions in
ejectment. Piening, assignee, vs. Es-
tate of Pankratz is an appeal from de-
cree of the county court. 1t grows out
of the T. c. Shove Banking Co. failure.
Horst VS. Kunz & Bleser is controversy
over some hop contracts, and has been
in the courts for several years.
