Fairview, Lincoln.-The following
statement was made by William Jen-

nouncement of his nomination as the
candidate of the Democratic party for
president:
The honor is the highest Official
possession in the world, and no one
occupying it can afford TO have his

personal ambition. Recognizing his
responsibility 10 God and his obliga-
tion to his countrymen, he should en-

is not planning for a second term, |

casions, that If elected | shall not be
a candidate for reelection.
This is a nomination as purely

more because IL came not from one
person or few persons. but from the

The opening session lasted three
hours and brought about the compile

the convention, with the resounding
address of Congressman Clayton OF
Alabama, permanent chairman Of the
convention. When the session opened
at night, every formality Of organiza.

The address of the permanent chair

Denver, Col.-At one o'clock Friday
afternoon. the hour TO which the con-

OF the delegates were in their seats,
and they were coming slowly into the
hall. The heat was even greater than
on Thursday and the temperature in
side the hall was high and uncom.
Portable. The public, however, seemed
TO have as much interest as ever in
the convention, and the galleries we're
packed long before any considerable
number of delegates had arrived.
The convention was called TO order
at lao.
The nomination of a candidate for
vice-president was the only business
before the convention. j. j. Walsh
presented the name of Archibald Nc
Neill of Connecticut. Gov. Thomas OF

nomination of Mr.. Kern.
Gov. Hill of Georgia put in nomina-
ton Clark Howell.
Hill of Georgia withdrew Howelrs
name and seconded the nomination or
Mr. Kern.
Charles A. Towne also withdrew
from the contest and urged his friends
to unite on Kern.
The Withdrawals increased the Wig
or of the demonstrations in favor OF
Kern, and on the motion that he be
nominated by reclamation, which was
carried, the cheering resembled close
ly the enthusiasm which had been
evinced at the nomination OF Mr.:
Bryan the day before.

at an end.
