What Dunn Said

No wonder women tainted, no
wonder men stood on top of bench
eS, waving flags, throwing their hats
toward the ceiling and yelling them
selves hoarse; no wonder the lights
had to be turned off to stop the sec
ond Bryan demonstration in Denver
when Hon. |. j. Damn of Lincoln
was placing the great commoner in
nomination for president. Mr..
Dunn is Il youthful orator of fire
and eloquence, and this closing
phrase is what stirred to vast assem-
blage into wild demonstration:
81 nominate" he exclaimed, "as
the standard bearer of our party the
man who in the thrilling days of
'96 and 1900, bore the battle SCARED
banner of Democracy with fame as
untarnished as the crusaders of old
Americas great commOner, Ne
braska's gifted son, William Jen-
nings Bryan"

Resolutions of Respect

Whereas, our Divine Father, in
His infinite Wisdom, has seen prop
er to call from our midst, by the
sad accident of July 9Th, our dearly
beloved Sunday school teacher, Mr..
G. p. CloyeS. Be 1t
Resolved, That in his death oul
class has suffered a loss which is
deeply and sadly realized by each
member of his class, and that each
day we shall feel the absence of one
of our most competent teachers, one
who 50 faithfully and earnestly in,
structed us each Sabbath morning
in the faith in which he so ardently
believed. Be it further
Resolved, That by his death va,
cancy was made in our church which
can never be rehlled.r A vacant chair
by his ass, in the choir and in the
Epworth League calls to memory
the fact that one of our most faith
full teachers, earnest promoters of
Gods Holy word and devoted Chris
tians has been called to his sweet
resting place that has been prepar-
ed bv our Heavenly Father for those
who follow Him as Mr.. Cloyes did;
that our class mOurns his absence
and sad death as a deep felt loss to
our town and the cause for which
he so eagerly devoted his life. We
extend our heartfelt sympathy to his
parents and relatives and that a copy
of these resolutions be sent to his
parents and copy each to his sis
ter and brother.
Weep not for those whom the veil Of the
tomb.
In life's happy morning hath hid from our
eyes.
Ere sin threw blight o'er the spirit S
young bloom.
Or earth had profaned what was born of
the skies.
Death chilled the fair fountain ere sorrow
had stained it,
Twas frozen in all the pure light Of its
course,
And but sleep till tho sunshine Of heaven
has unclaimed IL.
To water the Eden where first was its
source.

A Resolution

Whereas; by the sad accident
occurring on the night of July s, in
which our dearly beloved brother
and president, Charles p. Cloyes,
lost his life while battling with the
treacherous waters of Black river;
athe league suffered the. loss of one
of its most influential and jealous
workers: Therefore be it
Resolved by the members of the
Epworth League of Pocahontas that
by the death of Mr.. Cloyes our lea
que has in it a vacancy which can
never be rehlled. That there is not
member of our organization who
has not, at some time in the past
year, felt the force of his influence
urging him to forget not his duty
as Lacquer and as follower of
Christ, and although its originator
has passed into the great beyond,
we feel that this influence will ever
remain with US still urging us for
ward III the pursuance of Christian
duty. That he was not only an ar.
dent worker in advancing the cause
of the league but that his work in
the church and Sunday school was
such that its absence will be
sorely felt. Although God. in his
unlimited wisdom, has seen proper
to remove him from our midst; vet.
we feel grateful for his presence a
short time at least. Be it further
Resolved. that we extend to his
bereaved relatives and friends our
sincere sympathy and pray that the
omnipotent God will place under
them his mighty arm and aid them
in their bereavement. Be it further
Resolved that a copy Of these
resolutions be noted of record by
the secretary Of the EpworCh Lea.
que and also that copy of same be
sent to the bereaved relatives of the
deceased.
For God he used each hour improved each
day,
Allur'd TO brighter worlds, he led the
way"

GOMPERS WILL TAKE STUMP
Labor is Solid For Bryan, and
Leader Will Work For Ticket

President Samuel Gompers, of
the American Federation of Labor,
and his companions are on their way
home from the Denver conventions,
and stopped at Lincoln, Neb., Tues
day, where they were in consulta-
| tion with Bryan and Kern for sew
eral hours. At its conclusion Mr..
Gompers said:
"We propose to assist to the full
est extent in bringing about the en-
actment of the Denver platform in
to law, which means that we. will
do our level best to secure its ratiti
cation by the people. This cannot
be done except through the election
of the candidates standing upon it.
1t goes without saying that we are
for the candidate as well as the
platform"
When asked if the labor organi-
zation of which there are over three
million members, would act as pol.
itical unit in the campaign, Mr..
Gompers said:
81 can answer that question bet
ter by saying that in all meetings of
the American Federation of Labor
its officers will be instructed to work
for political declarations of both
parties on matters in which organ
lied labor is interested. The Re
publicans turned us down at Chica-
90 while the Democrats at Denver
met us fairly and squarely. The
members of the federation have a
pretty good idea what they want
and they know by this time wi o
their friends are"
81 wish to deny" continued Mr..
Gompers, "that | am a Democratic
partisan. | was formerly Repub-
lican. But the Republicans at
Chicago rejected and repudiated all
that contains the heart throbs and
the principles of humanity. For
that reason intend to do all | cai
to secure the election of Mr. BRYAN.
Yes, | am willing to make speeches
for him throughout the country"

Nebraska Wins Nomination on
LIST BalIt With 224 to Spare


Denver July lO.-William }.
Bryan's tliid nomination as Demo
cratic ca didate for the presidency
was mae on the first ballot at 3:4O
o'clock5 5his morning, the vote being
as follqws:
Wiliam j. Bryan, S02.
Co. John A. Johnson, 46.
Judge George Gray, SO.
Tie announcement of the vote
wasthe signal for wild demonstra-
tiol, equaling in turbulence if not
induration the record-breaking dis
pay which on Wednesday afternoon
erected the first mention of Bryan's
iame in the convention. The scene
within the amphitheater at the mo-
nent the nomination was made
made was one of stirring animation.
From pit to dome the vast building
was packed with ten thousand peo-
pie, thinned out In the remoter gal
leries after hours Of waiting and the
intense discomfort of the hot night.
Tier on tier and gallery on gallery
of agitated forms, the women IN
white, the delegates massed below,
manv of them coatless, myriad of
fans futtering to combat the still
ing heat ana close atmosphere OF
this long pent-up exuberant multi
tude, and everywhere the blaze of
flags and bunting and patriotic de-
vices and the enveloping folds Of
Old Glory.
As the announcement of the Ne
braskan's actual nomination was
made the whole assemblage rose en-
masse, waving flags, handkerchiefs,
newspapers, hats and coats, any
thing and everything that hands
could lay upon to wave ahoat or
hurl into the air, while bedlam of
sound poured out from those 10, 600
throats in exultant yells, cat calls,
Comanche warhoops, with the ad-
ded din of shrieking horns, the roar
of megaphones, and the strains of
the band playing an exultant an
them.
When for a moment order could
be secured, state after state which
had first recorded its vote for John
son or Gray, fell into line with the
over-mastering Bryan column, and
the nomination was made unani
nous and by acclamation.
When New York was reached
during the call of the states, the an
nouncement of Chief Murphy,
"Seventy- eight votes for Bryan"
brought out wild outburst of en-
thusiastic applause.
