Receiving the News OF his Nomlna-
tlOn,

Lincoln, July l0,-Willism J. Bryan
received telegraphic tidings of his noni-
nation on the first ballot for president of
the United States by the Denver demo-
cratic national convention at Fairview
shortly after dsybreak.
1t was an odd and memorable vigil.
Shortly before midnight, the candidate,
now thrice the nominee of his party for
president, joined patty OF news
paper correspondents on the porch
of his country home. Not until 4:34
O'Clock did the telegraph instrument
tick of the story of Bryan's nomination.
, Bryan was pounced upon with congratu-
| lations. He sent for great silver loving
cup, filled with uniermented grape
aice, WAS importuued to take the first
drink himself, which be did, and then
he passed the cup to the co respondents.
Before midnight Bryan remained with
members of gis family and close personal
friends in his basement study. The tel
ephone was put into operation shortly
before 10 O'Clock whereby the candidate
could hear the cheering in the conven-
ion hall. At The Denver end Of wire
was a megaphone an Sergeant-St Arms
Martins desk.
The cheering, as the result of the
nominating speech OF |. j. DaDn, OF
Omaha, affected Bryan deeply. It could
be distinctly herd in the Fsirview
home. Miss Grace Bryan stood st the
telephone receiver for almost sn hour.
The entire party joined the waiting ccr-
respondent of the crest verAnda al mid
night, Bryan taking bis place in great
recioing chair. He looked very tired.
He was in happy mood, however, and
regsled the newspaper men with score
of stories.
His comments on the planks OF The
platform as they were adopted, as indi.
Gated by the ticker, vera sometimes full
of boyish glee. He clapped his hands
and between times he whistled. "Boys,"
he said, addressing the correspondents,
81 want you to form whistliDg club for
tonight sud when the nomination is an
nouncsd to whistle, la Psloms.' "
As the ticker began to tell of the
adoption of the successive planks of the
platform Bryan kept up running fire oil
comment.
Bryan was very happy. BE sSt for
minutes tapping the srms of his chair
and whislling smilingly. When finally
| the Operator announced that the plat
form was unanimously adopted Bryan
applauded loudly, everybody joining.
1t was 2 o CLOCK.
bryan is nominated" came the
long awaited announcement at last. The
party, after its long memorable vigil
broke up quickly, Bryan snatching q
few hours sleep before the demonstra'
ton of Lincoln citizens and state Of
fcials at O'Clock, when huge crowd
went out to Fair1iew from Lincoln to
extend congratulations to the candidate.

DENIAL FROM The PRESIDENT

and Secretary Loeb we're elOseted for
more than an hour, after which Secre-
tsry Loeb gave out the following state
ment concerning the speech of Congress
man Hobson in Denver Wednesday, in
which he said that be had heard the
president say within the last three weeks
that war with Jspsn was imminent:
ain reference to the speech Of Con-
gresham Hobson, Secretary Loeb stated
that the Congressman must have been
misquoted. The president not only
never made such a remsrk, but never
made any remark even remotely re-
sembling it. All that the president ever
said is that if there Was q sufficient navy,
there would never be any possibility Of
this country getting into foreign war. p"

How Wall Street Sees II.

New Yo K, July lO.-''Stocks are booming
today because Wall street believes that
Bryan's nomination is equivalent to Rrysn's
dtf-st," said stock exchange expert today.
This boom, though il is in part the result of
manipulation Of issues TO impress the public
in Tafl's favor, is expected to be hut the
signal of general revival OF business.
Democratic adherents here look at the bull
market in different light. "All a scheme
by Wall street to help Tsft," they say. THE
market has been deliberately rugged to aid IN
electing the man who Wall street wants ana
it will continue TO be rugged. 50 far 90 IS pos
sible. until the fight ia over" These deaO-
cra,s assert that there is no legitimate reason
for the sudden Jump in values.

Nav Work Stnck Market

New York, July 10 The result Of the con-
vention at Denver had bullish influence on
the market and was reflected in generally
high prices all around the room during the
early part of the first hour. The greater part
of the buying was by the larger room traders.
The market in all respects was similar to
those of the preceding days Of the week.
The reaction that started toward the END Of
the frst hour continued all through the rest
of the forenoon and at midday prices we're
generally one TO two points below the highest
range reached shortly after the opening. The
volume Of transaction on the reaction was
comparatively small.

Congressman Clayton, Of Alabama, perma-
nent chairman of the convention, began his
speech yesterday by predicting that this was
a democratic year b. cause democratic ideas
were popular. During his speech he said
The President has advertised himself with an
ability that surpasses the best efforts of the
shrewdest press agent. The meaningless
generalities of the injunction plank are an
insult to the intelligence of those who de.
msnd reasonable legislation. Immunity
from law we promise nobody; immunity
from oppression the democratic party has

Gratis will revise the tariff downward and

The nomination OF Mr. Bryan fer

convention at Denver wss a fcregone
conclusion and the nomination WAS the
hearty desire Of the large major ty of the
delegates to that convention openly, vol
UNFAIRLY aud enthusiastically expressed.
Mr.. Bryan may or may not be the strongest
man the democratic party could have
put up, but certainly large majority OF
that party earnestly believes he ia and
Is the majority must rule is cardinal
point in the democratic doctrine all true
democrats should scquiesce in the action
of their representatives, in convention as
sembed and give him their hearty sup
port at the polls. Mr.. Bryan is an hon

FRIDAY EVENING. JULY 10. 1908.

WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN is for
the third time during the pat twelve
year, the democratic candidate for Pres
ident of the United States. 1t has dar-
Ing tbs past twelve months been sp-
parent to all thst he would be, and the
action of the national convention today
1, but the affirmation of toe endorsement
of Mr.. Bryan by large majority of the
democrats of the country expressed in
mass meetings and conventions long be-
fore the gathering Of the peoples repre-
sentatiyes in Denver. 1t is now the
bonnden duty of every member OF the
Marty u make the nomination unani-
nous and support the candidate, "ho is
the recognized bearer Of the banner OF
democracy. There have been objections
in certain quarters to the selection OF
Mr.. Bryan, and objections have been
urged by some against every man who
has aspired to the presidency since the
close of the revolutionary war. Wash
ipgton did not have the unanimous sup
port Of our forefathers, nor did Andrew
Jackson snd others who have since
posed in the position now occupied BY
Mr.. Bryan. The fact that the latter
can corral more democratic votes than
any other mau in the parry cannot be
gainsaid nor resisted, and this should be
the end of all controversy. He is, there
fore, the logical candidate of the party.
The history of Mr.. Bryan is fresh in the
minds of all, and there is no nee1 Of re-
producing it at this time. During the
past decade and q half he has been
one of the most prominent men in this
country, and in his recent trip around
the world the manner in which he was
received by representative people of all
nations, including crowned heads, made
it apparent that his fame had preceded
him and that his reputation Is universal
He is q democrat ex amino, no matter
what theories he may have entertained
in by-gone years which the country, SO
far, has failed to test. The entire south
and thousands in other sections Of the
land have sighed long for the relegstion
of the republican regime TO the bats and
owls. This can be done in one way
only-at the ballot box. This great
desideratum can be brought about If the
party will stand in solid phalanx and
affirm the seton of the Denver cOnven-
tion. We prefer to believe it will do so.

Dear Sir: Take two-story house
and reckon the costs with different
paints; you will be surprised. Say
the house has a total of 1910 square
feet.
Divide by 800; you buy II gallons.
That's the rule; but it never comes
out so.
= Buy any other paint than Devoe,
you will have to buy more, up to pos
sibly % gallons. Paint Devoe, and
you'll have a gallon or two to return.
Here are some Experiences.
N. R. Watkins, Lott, Texas, used
13 gallons on his house before;
bought 13 gallons Devoe for same
house and had 6 left.
G B Edwards, Of Edwards &
