With the nomination of a candi
tGaie for vice-president the work of

This nomination was expected to be
made this afternoon Most OF the
delegates were utterly wearied after
the long vigils and nerve racking agi.
tations of the night and it was late
today before the men of action be.
gan again to take up the threads Of
the discussion of the e-presidential
situation.
Prior to the elimination of the
scene in the convention hall when the
nomination of Bryan was made, the
assemblage had listened for hours to
the nomination speeches which NOV
ed them frequently to outbursts of
feverish excitement. 1t had been ex-
pected that the platform would be
ready at seven o'clock in the evening
but at that hour the committee was
still struggling with 1t and it was
announced later that it would be
midnight before it could report.
Demonstration Bordered on Panic.
At nine o'clock the nominating
speeches began. Alabama was the
first state on the roll and it yielded
to Nebraska. Ignatius J. Dunn of
Omaha took the platform to nominate
Bryan. He spoke in good voice, with
great earnestness and sympathetic
cheers greeted each utterance of trib-
ute to the Nebraskan. His conclud-
ing passage was a feryied tribute
to the COmmOner and 1t was the sig
nal for long continued uproar, rival
ling in intensity and duration the
demonstration of Wednesday. The
whole assemblage was led into the
fury of the excitement. The dele
gates seized state standards and gath
cred them on the presiding officers
platform, while the galleries broke
into tumultous clamor. The demon
stration lasted upward of forty-tive
minutes. At times it assumed such
proportions of madness as the dele
gates rushed through the aisles that
there was serious danger OF a panic.
Afternoon Session.
At o'clock not a quarter of the
delegates were in their seats, although
the galleries were filled to overflow
ing with spectators Among the first
to reach the hall were those from Tex
as who carried banner inscribed for
Judge Gray. When l.. R. Handy, OF
Delaware, who last night placed
Gray in nomination for president, en-.
tered the hall, Texas pounced upon
him and demanded to know If Gray
would accept If nominated. Handy re-
piled that he would use all his influ-
ence to have him accept. Marvel, OF
Delaware said Judge Gray would not

How to Cure

Due Often To Carelessness OF Neglect
and Stubborn to Cure

THE knife is not always necessary to
cure even desperate cases of piles" says
physician whose years and experience
make him an authority. Indeed" he
says further: II have known some very
aggravated cases of long standing cured
by a simple home remedy that restored
to the bowels easy natural daily move
ments."
And the doctor is right, as many letters
from cured people in various parts Of
the country prove. II sufferers from
piles, rectal tumors and ulcers would try
Dr. Caldwells Syrup Pepsin they would
often save themselves the terrible pain
and danger and the heavy expense Of .
severe surgical operation.
Piles are often due to constipation
and are always aggravated by it Easy
natural movements of the bowels such
as are invariably produced by this fam
Gus laxative without pain or grippe do
much to restore a normal. healthy condi-
ton to the bowels and thus cure piles.
