Evening session.

Kansas City. Mo. July Civilian
Jennings Bryan. of Nebraska, was, last
night. unanimously chosen rs the dem.
ccraiic candidate for president of the
United States ON a platform opposing
imperialism, militarism and trusts,
and specifically declaring for the free
coinage of silver AT the ratio of Il to
/. Imperialism is declared to be the
paramount issue.
The first session, beginning at 10 a.
M. was entirely fri itless of results,
and it was not until late in the after
noon, when the second session had be-
gun, that the platform committee was
at last able to report an agreement,
which was given unanimous approval.
The reading of the platform was
Punctuated by repeated outbur of
enthusiasm. The anti-iplr .rialism
plank was greeted with unique GEM
onstrution and e-inspiring enthusi-
assn.
The WIS, auditorium was filled to its
utmo' capacity when the moment ar
rived for the nomination to be made.
Not only were the usual facilities af-
torded by tickets taxed to their Mt
inost. but the doorkeepers were given
liberal instructions under which the
hisles, areas and all available spaces
were packed to their fullest limit.

scene. when Hill earnestly protested
to his friends against being placed in
nol' ination, and then, finding his pro-
test in vain, when he strobe to the
platform and in tones which left nc
doubt of their sincerity, earnestly be-
sought the convention not to make him
the nominee.
ybe Crowds Took Possession.
The proceedings yesterday moved
with great briskness. The aspect of
the vast auditorium was truly demo-
cratic when the session began. Antici-
patine the close of the convention the
general pubic was admitted freely,
ard as a result great crowds enptied
into the body of the hall, not only fill
ing every available seat in the area
and aisles, but also overlooking into
the arena reserved for delegates, while
some more adventuresome individuals
scaled the iron girders and looked
down from dizzy height on the 10000
people packed below. The crowd prac-
tically took possession of the proceed
ings, and at times the chairman and
his officials were SO powerless to pro-
coed that they gave up to the multitude
until the various demonstrations spent
themselves.
TOwnc Placed in Nomination.
On the call for nominations, Ala
baha yielded to Minnesota, and the
latter state presented its young cham
pion of silver republicanism and
democracy-C Charles A. Towne. The
mention of his name was the signal

Some of the devoted friends OF Hi

his nomination.

A rumber of favorite sons also were
placed in nomination, Maryland bring

Washington naming James Han iltop
Lewis, North Carolina nominating COL
Julian Carr, and Ohio presenting the
name of \. w. Patrick.

1t was after two o'clock when the
sGonding speeches, many at them wear
isume, were concluded, aud The ballot
ing began. As the rol! was about TO
be called Mr.. Lewis appeared on the
platform, and in few well-chosen
words withdrew from the contest.
Stevenson Had IA Strong Lead.
The vote was followed with intense
interest, for when Alabama announced
for Stevenson and 10 for Hill, II
looked as though close and exciting
contest was to occur. But is was soon
evident that Stevenson had strong
lead. At the close uf the call he had
5501a votes, which, however, was not
enough to dominate, the requisite two
thirds being 624. Hill had received 200
votes and Tcwne s0N. But before the
announcement of the result strong
lungcd delegates from Tennessee stood
On his chair and announced:

some of the New YoI kers getting up,

counter storm of protestation and dis

Meantime attention was being direct
ed TO an excited group massed in front
of the New York section, with Hill as
the vortex of struggling throng of
delegates. They pressed forward from
all quarters of the nall urging him to
permit his name TO be placed before
the convention. The face of the New
Yorker was a study as the demands
upon him came from all sides. He sat

THIRD DAY.


Kansas City, NO., July THE demo
cratic ticket was completed yesterday
by the nomination of A. L. Stevenson
of illinois, fer president. The nom
ination was made on the first ballot,
state after state joining in a wild
scramble to record their support of the
winning candidate. 1t was not accom-
panied by any such frantic dcmonstra-
ton of approval rs had marked the pro-
ceedirgs at previous stages, although
the result followed spirited and at
times highly dramatic contest between
the advocates of Stevenson, Towne,
Hill and lesser candidates.
An Ovation to Hill.
The distinct triumph of the day in
the way of popular ovation was that
accorded to Senator Hill, and in its
spontanehy and wild enthusiasm il
was one of the most notable features
the convention has produced. 1t was
accompanied too, by a remarkable

Then came the voting. State after
state recorded its vote in behalf OF the
Nebraska candidate, and giving him
the unanimous vote of all the states
and territories. The convention man
ayers had already agreed that this was
sufficient work for the day and the
vice-presidential nomination was al
lowed to go over until to-day.

Committee.)

convention. He was greeted enthusi-
astically, WIS in good voice, and his
words reverbrated through the hall.
Calls for Hill.
At the termination of Gov. Hogg's
address, Chairman Richardson stepped
forward to say a few words to Ser
geant-at-Arms Martin, and the crowd
took advantage of the opportunity to
start the cry of "Hill." 1t came from
all quarters of the galleries. but prac-
tically little of it from the delegates
Mingled with the calls were Kisses.
Ignoring alike the calls and hisses,
Chairman Richardson announced the
next speaker, as follows:
''Gentlemen--I have the honor to IN
froduce to you Hon. A. M. Dockery
Missouri's favorite SON."
Mr.. Dockery spokef for some minutes

nominee of this convention he de-
clared, with explosive emphasis. He
was frequently interrupted With en-
thusiastic shouts CT approval, but when
he left the platform the delegates were
firmly convinced from his words and
manner that he was sincerely DESTROYS
of having his name withheld. 1t is
possibly this alone which prevented a
nomination by reclamation then and
there, for the temptestuous spirit man.

made unanimous. The announcement
was greeted with enthusiastic approx

tribute to the party nominee.

While the plcadings continued the
call Of Delaware was heard above the
roar, and Delaware yielded her place
TO New York. At this the bulky form
OF Senator Grady, the silver-tongued
orator of New York, pushed through
the denscly-packed aisles up to the
platform. There was hush through

York had to offer.

Some 80 or more American sculptOrs
of renown are at work i,pon the deco
rative groups which are to have a
place az this Exposition. These are
to be nearly all original productions
under the master direction of Karl
Bitter. 1t will be the most elaborate
use of decorative sculpture ever under
taken at an Exposition, there being
more than 125 groups. These win
adorn the fountains, bridges, entrances
to buildings and other salient points
Besides the pools and fountains, with
in the several courts will be a grand
and stately canal which will surround
the entire group of buildings. In the
southern reaches of this canal are
artificial bodies of water known as the
Mirror Lakes. from which lagoons ex-
tend in several directions, thickly set
with aquatic plants of rare species.
In addition to the sunken gardens
and other floral features of the courts
will be the horticultural exhibits In the
southern part of the grounds. These

the finest productions of the best nurs-
