j. Bryan was nominated for the pre-
sidency by reclamation by the Popu-
list convention yesterday afternoon.
At midnight Charles A. Towne, OF
Minnesota, was nominated for vice
president, likewise by reclamation,
but not until half u dozen other cam
didates, including John w. Breiden-
thai, of Kansas, and John l., Lent, OF
Ohio, had been formally placed in
nomination and their names later
withdrawn.
At o'clock Friday morning the
convention adjourned sine die.
The contest over the action to be
taken in regard to the vice presidency
was spirited, but when Il came TO u
vote there was big majority in favor
Of nominating candidate for vice
president, Jerry Simpson, Of Kansas,
fought yaliantly in behalf Of dhe plan
of sending committee TO the Kansas
City convention empowered to indorse
the democratic nominee IL acceptable
to the populsts, and empowered furth-
er 10 nominate another candidate If
the democratic nominee be not ac-
ceptablc, but he was outvoted, 402 TO
262 Another proposition TO name five
men, any of whom would be accept
able as the vice presidential nominee,
and leave to the Democratic conyen-
ton the choice from among the five
was likewise voted down, 52G TO 270.
The forenoon session was given up
to eifecting permanent organization,
by the election of T. NJ. Peterson, Of
Colorado, ms chairman, and the selec.
ton of other officers and by passing
upon the report of the committee on
credentials.
Mr.. Bryan's nominption was made
by reclamation and was accomplished
with expedition and tact. There was
not to exceed half n dozen speeches
in Mr. Bryan's behalf The speakers
were led OF by Senator Allen, and he
was followed by Mr.. Weaver, Of Iowa;
EX-Congressman Jerry Simpson, Of
Kansas; Cyclone Davis, of Texas,
and Senator Marion Butler, of North
Carolina.
Thus was Mr.. Bryan again formally
made candidate for the presidency.
and thus was his campaign Of 1900 in
augurated.
Then toward the close Of the after
noon began the real contest Of the
convention. This was the fight over
the vice presidency, or, rather, the
fight over the proposition not to make
any nomination for the vice presiden-
tial office, but to refer the entire mat
ter TO committee to be appointed to
confer with the democrats and silver
republicans in their conventions, to be
held at Kansas City.
After much discussion motion TO
nominate Charles A. Towne for vice
president by reclamation was carried.
Jerry Simpson, of Kansas, was chair
man of the resolutions committee.
The platform reiterated the principles
OF populism, denounced the currency
bill, the war in the Philippines, and
expressed sympathy for the Beers.
