Race.
Kansas City, July 6-The democratic
national ticket was completed to-day
by the nomination Of Adlai e. Steven
son for vice president. The nomination
was made on the first ballot, state after
state joining in the wild scramble to
record their support of the winning can
dldate. 1t was not accompanied by any
such frantic demonstration Of approval
as had marked the proceedings at pre-
vious stages, although the result fol-
lowed spirited and at times highly
dramatic contest between the advocates
of Stevenson, Towne, Hill and the less
er candidates.
Distinct Triumph for mn.
The distinct triumph of the day in the
way of popular ovation was that ac-
corded to ex-senator Hill, and in it's
spontaneity and enthusiasm was one of
the most notable features the conven-
tion had produced. The was accompa-
MED, too, by a remarkable scene when
Hill earnestly protested to his friends
against being placed in nomination and
then, finding his protest in vain, when
he strode to the platform and in tones
which left no doubt of their sincerity
earnestly besought the convention not
to make him the nominee.
uov, Il With Greater IlriskmcsA
The proceedings to-day moved with
greater briskness than on the two pre-
ceding days, for there was none of the
tedious waits for platform and commit
tee. The aspect of the vast auditorium
was truly democratic when the session
began. Anticipating the close of the
convention, the general public was ad-
mitted freely and as a result great
crowds empted into the body of the
hall, not only filling every available
seat in the arena and aisles, but also
overf1owing into the arena reserved for
delegates, while some atlventuresone
individuals scaled the iron girders and
looked down from dizzy height on
the 10000 people packed below The
crowd practically took possession Of the
proceedings, and a times the chairman
and his officials were so powerless to
proceed that they gave up to the null
titude until the various demonstrations
spent themselves.

On the call for nominations, Alabama
yielded to Minnesota, and the latter
state presented it's young champion of

off in a corner of the auditorium a |
young woman could be seen frantically |
waving in one hand a lithograph of |
the Minnesotan and in the other the |

and discordant Kisses. For ten minutes
the demonstration to Towne lasted with
varying degrees of intensity.

Meantime attention was being direct
