Senator Grady was given most
enthusiastic welcome as he appeared
on the rostrum. When he declared
that the convention could nominate nc
candidate and adopt no platform that
would not receive the united and en-
thusiastic support of the New York
democracy, he was given still preater
applause and returned to his chair
amid cries of Grady. Grady" "Hur-

Following Senator Grady's speech
Chairman Clayton introduced Judge

tive of the great corn state" BY the
time Judge Wade had concluded his
address the crowd had increased sim
further and the doorways were pack
ed In manner that showed misman-
agement on the part of the doorkeep-
ers that was not far from criminal.
In response to calls from Missouri
Chairman Clayton said:

glad to concur in the request of Mis-

of that state, one of the knightliest
democrats who ever drew glittering
blade in defense of the party"

DENVER, Col, July 1O.-The dem.
ocratic national convention proceed
ed last night to the nomination of a
candidate for president of the United
States, the nomination and seconding
speeches being made amid scenes OF
tumultuous enthusiasm.
The speech placing William j. Bry-
an in nomination awakened whirl-
wind of demonstration rivaling in in
tensity and duration the record tri-
butte of the convention.
George Gray of Delaware and Gov
ernor Johnson of Minnesota were
placed in nomination with demon
STATIONS of applause among their
followers.
The tide of sentiment was unmis-
taxable and overwhelmingly in favor
of the Nebraskan and foreshadowed
his nomination before the session
closed.
The platform committee was not
ready to report when the evening ses-
sion began. and after listening to po-
litical oratory the rules of procedure
were suspended and the convention
proceeded with the speeches placing
the candidates for president in NOM
nation with the understanding that
the platform had been adopted.
The speech placing William Jen-
nings Bryan in nomination was made
by |. ]. Dunn of Nebraska, youth
full orator of fire and eloquence,
whose closing phrase stirred the vast
assemblage into wild demonstration:

THE VICE PRESIDENCY.

J The fight in the convention TODAY
mas been over the Office of vice pres
ldent and John Kern, of Indiana. is
leading all rivals and it seems To he
the consensus of opinion now among
the leaders in the convention that
ne VIII be nominated for that Office.
Folk of Missouri has announced that
ne Is no longer a candidate and will
not permit his name to appear before
the convention. The manager of
Judge Gray's boom for first paIce has
announced that he will do all that he
can to prevent his name being used
Tor the office, and with these two
men disposed of it is generally beIiev-
ed that the nomination will go to
Kern. Mayor DahIman, of Omaha,
today announced that he was strong
ly in favor of Kern, and gave it as
his Judgment that ne was the only
logical candidate for the Office in the
party.
The convention throughout the day
has waited for some word from Bry.
an-waited for him or some one on
his behalf to make a definite an.
nouncement of his preference or
choice as to a running mate, but up
to late hour none had come, but it
is anticipated that one may come later
in the evening.

the states were taken from their plac.
es and borne through the hall to the
platform, while banners bearing the
portrait of the commoner were watt.
ed aloft and the multitude joined in
long-continued tribute. At times the
intensity of the demonstration threat.
ened panic. One woman was borne
out of the building.
Applaud Name of Bryan.
A small American flag had been
placed on every delegates chair prior
to the beginning of the evening SEES
sion. This was the unmistakable
evidence of the nominating session of
the convention and quickened the in
terest of the spectators, who early
made rush for the galleries, filling
them to overlooking.
At O'Clock, however. there were
few of the delegates in their places.
They had fingered long at dinner, the
slowly dying twilight of the Colorado
evenings proving deceptive as to the
hour.
Sing Through MegaphOnes.
A male quartet was an additional
feature for the night session. They
sang their first selection through
megaphones and got royal recep-
ton from the gallery throngs. A
Chicago band relieved the cowboy
musicians who had served so long and
and loyalty since the opening of the
convention on Tuesday. The bands
men of the plains. it was generally
agreed, had earned their rest. They
have been untiring in their efforts to
entertain the multitudes and the ex-
cellent quality of their music has
been widely commented on.
A 7:15 the galleries were complete
ly filled, and the majority of the del
egates were in their seats, but the
officers of the convention were still
waiting for the report of the commit
tee on resolutions.
Kerr Takes GuTey's Place.
1t was just 1850 o'clock when
Chairman Clayton began to rap for
order, which he secured within a
minute.
Mr. Clayton recognized Mr.. Nc
Quisten of Pennsylvania. who an
nounced the selection of James Kerr
as member of the national commit
tee from that state in place of James
Guffey, who was selected before the
Pennsylvania contests were called.
Without objection the selection
of Mr.. Kerr will be considered as rat
flied" said the chairman, and a mo-
ment later added: The chair hears
none, and the selection OF Mr.. Kerr
is ratified"
Doors and Windows Choked.

DRILLS READILY
FIND PAY S1REAkS

TACOMA, Wash, Feb. 6.-Key
stone drills are proving a greater
success in Tanana than elsewhere III
the Yukon valley. A Fairbanks
special says Rhoads, Zimmerman and
Stewart have had a Keystone drill
at work locating the pay streak.
They recently struck fine pay ground
which would never otherwise have
been prospected. Since they struck
good pay there has been renewed
activity in the district.
With the results that are being
obtained by drifting and drilling it
will be matter of only a few weeks
before pay on Dome is located from
discovery to the mouth of the creek.
John Peterson, by the aid of the
drill, landed on fine pay last week
on 2 below, and the streak has since
then been located on below.

AT HOIST lever

RENO, Feb. with his hand
on the lever controlling the hoist,
through which the full force of min
ers of the Union Consolidated mine
at Virginia, New, had their only
means of reaching the surface, from
their caverns, 1000 feet below, Chas.
Mcdonald. the engineer in charge of
the works of the company, was
stricken with paralysis this after
noon and for an hour or more lay
helpless beside his engine, unable to
respond to the signals and helpless
to render aid to the men at his mercy
had danger arisen. Fortunately en-
ployes on the surface found McDon-
aid and gave the alarm.
Mcdonald could neither speak nor
call for help. His entire left side
was affected He was carried to his
home, a substitute engineer was put
in his place and the miners, who had
been signaling to be raised, were
hauled to the surface.
