BRYAN IS NOMINATED
Unanimous Choice of Kansas
City Convention.
ON A FREE COINAGE PLATFORM
webster Davis Arraigns tho Republican
Party for Lack Of Sympathy
for the Beers.

Kansas City, July S.-William
J. Bryan. of Nebraska, was tonight
unanimously placed in nomination as
the Democratic candidate for president
of the United States, on platform op-
posing imperialism, militarism and
trusts, and specifically declaring for the
free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16

ferencee and present report. Until
this was ready the convention managers
beguiled the time by putting forward
speakers of more or less prominence to
keep the vast audience from becoming
too restless.
The first session, beginning at 10
o'clock this morning, was entirely
fruitless of results and it was not un.
til late in the afternoon, when the sec.
ond session had begun, that the plat
form committee was at last able to re.
port an agreement. Already its main
features, embodying the IL to princi-
pie, had become known to the dele
gates, and there was little delay in
giving it unanimous approval. This
removed the last chance for an open
pture on questions of principle and
the way clear for the supreme
;ent of the day-the nomination of the
presidential candidate.
The vast auditorium was filed to ito
utmost capacity when the moment az
rived for the nomination to be made.
Not only were the usual facilities af.
forded by tickets taxed to the utmost,
but the doorkeepers were given liberal
instructions, under which the aisles
and 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, o.
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 strong voiced
and entertaining, 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 William ]. Bryan.
This was the signal for the demon.
stration of the day, and with com.
mon purpose, the great conourse joined
in tribute of enthusiastic devotion to
the party leader. 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 speeches eeconding the nomi.
nation of Mr.. Bryan were in order.
Then camc the voting. State after
state recorded its vote in behalf of the
Nebraska candidate, giving him the
unanimous vote of oil tho states and
territories. The convention managers
had already agreed that this was suffi.
cient work for tho day, and the vice.
presidential nomination was allowed
to 20 over until tomorrow.
Next to the demonstration for the
party candidate, the greeting of the
announcement that imperialism was to
be the paramount issue of this cam.
paign was the most spontaneous and
significant of tho day.
Another stirring event of the day
was the appearance of Webster Davis,
sx.assistant secretary of the interior
under MoKinlcy's administration, in
speech severely arraignine the Repub-
, lican party for its lack of sympathy for
the Beers and formally announcing his
allegiance to the Democratic party.
