terms to Bryan. At the mention of
the name of the "commoner" the dele
gates went wild and there ensued a
demonstration the like of which has
never been seen in any convention.
The uproar continued for an hour and
twenty-seven minutes, and only was
broken by the physical inability Of
THOSE participating to continue any
longer. When order was restored the
convention adjourned until 8 o'clock
in the evening. At the night session,
after an hour of speechmaking, the
committee on credentials reported on

ors were stirred with eager expectancy
as the supreme and long deferred
work Of nominating the presidential
candidate was begun. !,
Alabama, the first state on the roll
call, yielded to Nebraska, the home
state of Bryan, whose spokesman, the
youthful orator, Ignatius ]. Dunn, OF
Omaha, advanced to the platform. He
spoke. in good voice, with great earn

ence which greeted each utterance of
tribute to the Nebraska leader with
demonstrative evidence of approval.
His concluding passage was fervid
tribute to the commoner as the in
trepid leader who had borne aloft ths
battle-scared flag of Democracy
through the campaigns of 1896 and
1900, with the devotion and faith of
the crusaders of old-"America's

Cheering Lasted as Minutes.
This was the signal for long con-

and duration the demonstration of

assemblage was dashed into fury Of
excitement. The demonstration last

The nomination of Gov. johnson of
Minnesota precipitated another whirl-
wind of excitement, if not so long sus-

for Bryan. The delegation from Min

waving flags, handkerchiefs, hats, and
anything that could be waved, were
the storm center of the demonstration,
while groups of scattered delegates
here and there lent their energies to
those of Minnesota. The galleries, too,

sentiment had set irresistibly toward
the Indiana candidate, state after state

var, and all other candidates withdraw
ing before the universal demand for
his nomination.
Kern 10 the Favorite.
The convention, after adjourning at
daylight with the nomination OF Mr..
Bryan, resumed its session at n. m.
with a powerful undercurrent already
in motion toward the nomination of
Kern for second place. On the call of
states Indiana presented the name of
Kern; Colorado, through ex-Gov.
Thomas, placed in nomination Charles
A. Towne Of New York; Connecticut
presented Archibald McNeill and Geor-
gfa Clark Howell. The names of
Judge George Gray of Delaware and
of John Mitchell Of Illinois were not
presented, owing to the positive re-
quests of these gentlemen not to
have their names go before the con-
vention.
Flock to Kern.
For time it looked as though
ballot would be required. But the
steady line of states which joined in
seconding Kern's nomination soon
made it apparent that the chances Of
all other candidates had been extin-
guished. Mr.. Towne in person was
the first candidate to recognize the
decisive nature of the Kern movement
and in a ringing speech he withdrew
his name from consideration and
pledged his support to the ticket of
Bryan and Kern. Withdrawals quick
ly followed from the supporters Of
Howell of Georgia and Mcneil of Con-
necticut, leaving the Indiana candidate
alone in the field.
Made by Acclamation.
The withdrawal of the Connecticut
candidate was accompanied by mo-
ton that the nomination of Kern be
made by reclamation. The motion
was carried with deafening shout,
and the asssmblage broke into clam
orous demonstration on the accom-
plishment of it's work and the compile
ton Of the Democratic national ticket.
The nomination was made at 4:23
o'clock and the convention thereupon
adjourned without date.
The Platform.
The following are the principal
planks of the Democratic platform:
Modification of law relating to in

issued in any. cases in which injunc.

tinued to reverberate throughout the
building, while crowds outside took
up the shout and bore it along the
dark and silent streets, awakening
the city just as the first pale rays
of dawn were breaking in the East,
with the resounding chorus Of Bryan,
Bryan, Bryan"
Hours Of Oratory.
Prior to the elimination scene in
the convention hall when the nomina-
ton of Bryan was made, the assem-
blage had listened for hours to the
oratory of nominating speakers, who
moved them frequently to outbursts
of feverish excitement. It had been
expected that the platform would be
ready for adoption at o'clock In the
evening, when the night session be-
gan. But at that hour the committee
on resolutions was still struggling
with the planks relating to the cur
rency, the tariff. the Mormon ques.
ton and other important subjects. A
committee appointed by the conven.
ton to learn how soon the platform
would be ready reported that It would
be midnight before the document was
ready for the consid Grafton of the
convention. Thereupon q motion Of
Congressman Ollie James Of Kentucky
the regular order Of procedure was
suspended, and the convention pro
ceeded to call the roll Of states for
nominations for the presidency, with
the understanding thatsthe nominating
and seconding speeches would be
made Without hnal vote until the
platform had been adopted.

Baltimore, Md, July 14.-Five men
are known to have been drowned and
three women and man are believed
to have met like fate last evening,
when very severe wind and rain
storm passed over the harbor of this
city. Eight men in a rowboat were
endeavoring to reach Fort A1cHenry
when the boat capsized. Peter Del

drowned. The others righted the boat
and reached the fort in safety.
The overturning of boat in the
Spring Gardens brought death by
drowning to John Harrington.
The finding of an overturned row.

three women and a man were seen
shortly before the storm, leads to the
belief that the four were drowned.
None of the bodies have been recoy-

twelve hours.
Edward Tucker, who was clinging
to an oar, and A. P. Tarbell, who was
supported by life preserver, were
able to swim and they remained to-
gether until picked up by fisherman
early yesterday morning.
Neither of the survivors was able
to give the cause of the explosion.
Mr. Tarbell, who owned the launch,
said that the boat started out from
Marion lon a short pleasure cruise
and was we'll out in the middle of Buzz
yards bay when the explosion occur

he struck the water. T:ae boat caught

and followed. So far as they know,
