agreement. Already its main features,
en- bcdying the 16 to l principle, had
become known to the delegates, and
there was little delay in giving it unan-
imous approval. This ended the last
chance for an open rupture on the
question Of principles and left the way
clear for the eliminating business OF
the day-the nomination Of a candi-
date. The vast auditorium was filled
to its utmost capacity when
The Moment Arrived
for the nomination to be made. Not
only were the usual facilities afforded
by tickets taxed to their utmost, but
doorkeepers were given liberal instruc-
tiGns under which the aisIcs and areas
and all available spaces were packed
to their fullest limit. Wien the call
Of states began for the purpose Of
placing candidates in nomination, Ala
bama yielded its place at the head Of
the list to Nebraska. and Oldham of
that state made his way to the plat
form for the initial speech placing Mr..
Bryan in nomination for the presi-
dency. The orator was strongly
voiced and entertaining, and yet to
the waiting delegates and spectators
there was but one point to his speech,
and that was the stirring peroration
which closed with the name of Will
lam ]. Bryan. This was the signal
for the demonstration of the day, and
in a common purpose the great con.
course joined in great tribute Of
Enthusiastic Devotion
to the party leader. A huge oil por-
trait of Bryan, measuring fifteen feet
across, was brought down the main
aisle before the delegates. At the
same time the standards Of the state
delegations were torn from their sock.
cts and waved on high, while umbrel.
las of red, white and blue, silk banners
of the several states and many hand
some and unique transparencies were
borne about the building amid the
deafening clamor Of 10000 yelling, ges-
ticulating men and women. All Of the
intensity of former demonstrations and
much more was added to this final
tribute to the leader. When the
demonstration had spent itself the
0pescItes seconding the nomination OF
Mr. Bj5an were In order. Senator

WON'T WITHDRAW TowNE.

Authority to Do So.

Kansas City. July s. - The confer
ence of the representatives of the
three parties developed a peculiar stu
alton in some respects. The Demo-
Gratis We're anxious for the withdrawal
of Towne from the Populist ticket,
and the Silver Republicans said that
so far as they were concerned they
would. through their committee, nom
mate Stevenson for vice president, al
though profoundly disappointed that
Towne was not nominated by the
Democratic convention. The Populists
We're not in favor Of the, withdrawal
of Towne. and maintained that the
Populist national committee, acting
under instructions of the Sioux Falls
convention would be compelled to put
another candidate in the field if Towne
should withdraw. and the committee
could not withdraw him. More than
that. they asserted that if Towne
should be withdrawn and they should
not place another man in his place
their organization would be en-
dangered, and such action would result
in Populists going over to the middle
of-the-road ticket nominated in Gin
cinnati. This would lessen the chances
of carrying states in the West and in
termouEtain country.

FOR SECOND PLACE.
of the Vice Presfden-
1i0I Situation.

Complications of the Vice Presiden-
tfaI Situation.
The most important development in
the vice-presidential situation last
night was the announcement that
when the roll Of states is called to-day
for the nomination of candidates for
vice president Alabama will yield to
Florida and Hon. r. D. Mcdonald OF
that state will place Eliot Danforth Of
New York in nomination. This pro-
gramme became known during the SEES.
sion of the convention last night and
was discussed by quite number Of
the leading men in different delega-
tons. Another development was the
unquestioHed popularity Of David B..
Hill for the place as manifested in the
convention and the desire expressed
in many quarters for his selection.
The selection, however, is complicated
by the fact that New York stands in
the way of the selection of either Hill
or DaIfOrth. Hill does not want the
nomination and will take measures to
prevent his selection DanfOrth does
want it and would be nominated if
New York would present him. But
the convention will not force candi-
date upon New York against the will
of the delegation from that state.
Meanwhile there has been develop
ment Of the Stevenson boom. 1t is,
however, of a passive character, the
belief being general that he is the only
man who can beat Towne. The de.
mand for Democrat upon the ticket
Ia still strong. and TOwne's candidacy
Ii hsmpered by reason Of his protested
politics. Still the friends CT Towne

still maintained their allegiance to him
and the delegations of New Jersey,
Louisiana and some others seconded
his nomination. A number Of favorite
SONS also were placed in nomination,
Maryland bringing forward Gov. John
Walter Smith, Washington naming
James Hamilton Lewis. North Caro-
lima nominating Col. Julian Carr and
Ohio presenting the name of 4. w.
Patrick. 1t was after 2 o'clock when
the seconding speeches were concluded
and the balloting began. As the roll
was called Mr.. Hill appeared on the
platform. and in few wen chosen
words withdrew from the contest. The
vote was followed with intense inter-
est, for when Alabama announced 3
for Stevenson and 10 for Hill it looked
as though close and exciting contest
was to occur But it was soon evident
that Stevenson
Had Strong Lead.
At the close of the call he had $50 IL
votes, which. however. was not enough
TO nominate. the requisite two-thirds
being 624. Hill had received 200 votes
and Towne. 50 L. But before the an
nouncement of the result strong
lunged delegate from Tennessee stood
on his chair and annOunced:
Tennessee changes her "a votes
from Hill to Stevenson"
That started the tide irresictibly to-
ward Stevenson. From every quarter
of the hall came cries for recognition.
North Carolina changed from Carr TO
Stevenson. Even New York finally.
but reluctantly. announced its change
from Hill to Stevenson. That ended it.
Stevensons nomination was assured.
although for some time longer the
various states continued to record their
changes from Towne and other candi-
dates to Stevenson. In the end the
nomination was made unanimous. The
announcement was greeted with en-
thusiastic approval and again state
standards and banners We're borne
about the building in tribute to the
party nominee.

the peculiar situation regarding the
other candidates may yet give him the
domination. That the Democratic con-
yention is taking the matter into con-
sideration is shown by the adoption
yesterday of a resolution for a COM
