little matter of the repeal of the
gross earning tax is not made
an issue. No matter if the re-

the convention has produced. 1t was
accompanied, too, by remarkable
scene, when Hill earnestly protested

test in vain, when he strobe to the
platform and in tones which left no
doubt of their sincerity, earnestly be-
sought the convention not to make him

The Crowds Took Possession.
The proceedings yesterday moved
With great briskness. The aspect of
the vast auditorium was truly demo

pGting the close of the convention the
general pubic was admitted freely,

Senator Hin Besieged.

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

HiIl Nominated Against His VIII.
While the pleadiugs 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 a hush through
ont the hail to hear what word New
Work had to offer.
'In behalf of the united democracy
of New ork," shouted Grady, II pre-
sent as a candidate for vice-president
the name of David Bennett Hill."
A Strange Pantomime.
The effect was electrical, and tidal
wave of enthusiastic approval swept
over the convention. Delegates stood
on their chairs and waved frantically,
not in few scattered groups, but in
solid phalanxes. Flags and standards
were again mingled in triumphant pro-
ceSsion while a roar as from Niagara
Eulsated through the great structure.

Kansas City, Mo-. July Civilian
Jennings Bryan, of Nebraska, was, last
night, unanimously chosen as the dem
Ccratic candidate for president of the
Cpited States on a platform opposing
imperialism, militarism and trusts,
and specifically declaring for the free
coinage of silver at the ratio of 10 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
punctuatcd by repeated outbursts of
enthusiasm. The anti-imperialism
plank was greeted with a unique dem-
onstration and awe-inspiring enthusi-
asm.
The vast auditorium was filed to its
utmost capacity when the moment ar
rived for the nomination TO he made.
Not only were the usual facilities af-
iorded by tickets taxed to their ut
NEST, but the doorkeepels were given
liberal instructions under which the
aisles, areas and all available spaces
were packed to their fullest limit.
When the call of states began, for
the purpose of placing candidates in
nomination, Alabama yielded its place
at the head of the list to Nebraska,
and Oldham, of that state, made his
way 10 the platform for the initial
speech placing Mr.. Bryan in nomina-
tien for the presidency. The orator
was strcng-voiced and entertaining,
vet to the waiting delegates and spec
tators there was but one point to his
sreech. and that was the stirring Pera-
ration, which closed with the name OF
William Jennings Bryan.
This was the signal for the demon
stration of the day, and in common
purpose the great concourse Joined in
a tribute of enthusiastic devotion tothe
party leader.
