sofa delegations, working in the in
terest Of William j. Bryan, strove des'
perately to bring about an adjourn
ment of the convention until after

any chance whatever of gaining theiI
object, the Nebraska man fought des
perately to the last, and when Jay A
Forest of Albany, N. Y, mounted the
platform and placed Watson in nomi
cation they withdrew from the con-
vention, attended by the Minnesota
delegation, which consisted, however,
Of only one man-T. ]. Weighan. If

clare that the Populists of Nebraska
will do so to man.

nominee, is well known throughout
the country, and his political life is
