The nomination was made on the first ballot, 'only 114 votes "being cast against the Nebras kan. Immediately following the ? nomination the convention adjourned ???til 1 o'clock Friday, when-it will re-convene to nominate a Vice Presi dent. The nomination followed a night of speech-making under the strain of which the delegates betrayed their weariness. Ignatius J. Dunn, of Omaha, Neb., placed? Mr. Bryan in nomination and there.were more than a dozen seconding speeches, the lengthiest of which, was that ofGov ?rnor Hobart T^Ql^n^'-S^^^^.f- " nominating speeches bc ga:r shortly after the convention con vened at 7 o'clock and continued, j&jrifK only sufficient intermission to p hear the reading of the platform,. | wbieh was unanimously adopted, un ' til 3 o'clock. There was no discus sion on the plat torin, and the rules ? were suspended pending its submis sion to begin the nominating speeches . iu once to save time. A Record Demonstration. s~ Ki ir&-speech placing William J. Bry g&iui in nomination awakened a whirl wind of demonstration rivaling in in ||tcnsity and duration the record breaking tribute of Thursday. m The names of George Gray, of Del aware, and Governor Johnson, of ?^Minnesota, were also placed in nomi nation with demonstrations of ap ^proval from their limited following, ir The tide of sentiment was unmistak ably and overwhelmingly in favor of I the Nebraska candidate and fore shadowed his nomination before the ^-session closed. SF. The speech placing William J. Bry |i*n in nomination was made by Igna ||j$ius J. Dunn, of Nehraska, a youthful afeiaior of fire and eloquence, whose i?dosing phrase stirred the vast as semblage into wild demonstration. Pp^'I nominate," he exclaimed, "aa Wj&e standard bearer of our" party, the ?jjjjpian who in the thrilling days of '96 ^4ndl90Q bore the battle-scarred ban ifajfer' of Democracy with fame as un ^?S|rnishe(V as the crusaders of old ^America's great comoner, Nebraska's gifted fon. William J. Bryan." ||F Immediately a pandemonium of] |pji?nnd and motion was unloosened as delegates and spectators rose en masse and joined in the reverberating |j|fe?prus of tribute to the Nebraska can iV late. The standards of the States '5-^ro wrenched from their places and . louie through the hall to the plat gfsf?in', while banners bearing the ?v.r . trait ci the commoner were wai.cd ; rloft, and the multitude joined in --long continued tribute. At times, the intensity of the demonstration threat ened a panic. One. woman was borne : ont fainting. J. W. Kern for Vice President. Denver, Col., Special-The Demo cratic national convention concluded labors late Friday afternoon by the nomination of John Worth Kern, ic? Indiana, for vice president, c?m ^"f>h?ting the ticket on which William J.^ryan was made the nominee for . president during the early hours of Fi'*?'.y morning. The nomination of Krtm was made bv acclamation amid ib?? resounding cheers of delegates md spectators. No ballot was nec o-r-rrv ns the tide of sentiment had set irresistibly toward the Indiana statesman. State after State regis tering their votes in his favor and all other candidates withdrawing before the universal demand for his nomi nation. Who Mr. Kern Is. Mr. Kern was nominated by ac clamation. He is a leatYng attorney . in bi? State and a loyal Democrat I of thc Bryan type. Twice he ran for -. Gove--rr cf his State and was each I time ' r~^'d. Tt is not believed by ! lomf ^V f>l!ow Indianians that i he v'l! : .Md strength to tho national il tirkf '- In appearance he is pot un like Governor Hughes, cf New York If he is a man of more than ordi nary ability his face does not show it. But everybody is satisfied, for it vf as made known here that Mr. Bry ah preferred Kern if he could not haye Gray. The contest was one sided and uninteresting. What Bryan Says. Lincoln, Neb., Special.-When the news of his nomination reached Mr. Biyan he said: I'The presidency is the highest of ficial position in thc world, and no one occupying it can afford to have his views upon public questions bias ed by personal ambition. Recogniz ing his responsibility to God and his obligation to his countrymen, he should enter upon the discharge of his dntie? with singleness of pur pose. Believing that one can best do this when he is not planning for a second term, I announce now, as I have on former occasions, that if elected I shall not be a candidate for re-election." Then Mr. Bryan added: "This nomination is as pure a nomi nation frcm the people' as was ever made. If elected, my obligation will be to the people. I appreciate the honor the more because it came not from one person or a few persons, but from the rank and file of the Democratic party acting freely and without compulsion." Gray Congratulates Bryan Wilmington, Del., Special.-Upon being informed of the nomination of Mr. Bryan Judge George Gray im mediately sent thc following tele ?rram: "Hon. William J. Bryan, "Lincoln, Neb. "Accept my hearty congratula tions. "GEORGE GRAY." Freight on Lamber Adjusted.

NO. 29. iE CAREER OF NINGS BRYAN and has bad distinguished , considera tion shown him in Japan, China; Rus sia, Continental Europe and England. At the request of King Edward he had an audience with that famous British ruler. The Lord Chancellor of England -praised him before the Inter-parliamentary Conference; that distinguished assemblage cheered his speech and adopted his international peace resol..' on. Mr.. Bry? lives in a substantial r?*a-brlck bi i four miles out of Lin coln, at a il settlement called Nor mal. The t ;y will take you there, tall sunflow crushing the car win dow as it ?es through. In the little countr lurch just at the edge of his own ' ifield, he worships on Sunday. Sometimes he preaches there. His wife and daughter teach in the Sunday-school. It ls a Meth odist church, but lt is nearor than tho :? i fe .TINGS BKXAM. ' -r ; 1 Presbyterian church where he and Mrs. Bryan hold their membership. She was brought up a Methodist any how, and when they, moved to Nor mal she said, "Will, I've gone, to your church ever since we were married. Now let's go to mine." So later the children, Gracevand William, joined there. William J. Jr., is eighteen years old, and a freshman In Nebras^ ka State University. MRS. WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN. "Fairview" the Bryans call their place that covers two hundred acres. Land around there is worth from S200 to $500 an acre. So it can be figured that Mr. Bryan is comfortably well-to-do. Those that ?ave less might call him a rich man. What he has, he has made from his lectures and his books and from The Com moner, published in a plain country newspaper office In Lincoln. Before the Bryans had as much as they have now, they lived in a little frame house on a muddy street in Lincoln, on his country lawyer's in come of $1800 a year. You just nat urally speak of them as "the Bryans," for through all of thc man's career, the woman has kept step at his side. "We always do everything together, my wife and I," he says with a pride that has never waned. Long ago, just after their .marriage, she studied law and was admitted to the bar. She did it not to practice law, but to be able "to help Will." She has read her way through all the political economy that he teaches. There is neither pomp nor cere monial at Fairview. By 7 o'clock every morning life is astir there. Half-past 7 is the breakfast hour. Thc I . Newsy Paragraphs. A Pacific torpedo fleet of three flo tillas has been organized. H. M. Flagler resigned as a vice president of the Standard Oil Com pany. Dr. Darlington expressed the belief that New York City's decreased death rate Indicated a return to normal living. It has been decided to hold the Goshen races, at Middletown, N. Y.. this season, despite the enactment of the anti-race track gambling law. The purses will not be cut down. Veterinary surgeons testified to the existence of hydrophobia cases In the Bide-a-Wee home for dogs in New York City. President Davlla, of Honduras, has ordered that Francis G. Bailey and his brother be surrendered to a New York police officer. Seventy United States sailors began chewing and smoking tobacco so that the navy could obtain a brand to bo used as a standard. Tho RusBlan Council of Empire adopted tho naval budget, including $5,500,000 for battleship construc tion, an item which was not sanc tioned by the Puma. English breakfast custom prevails. Thara?; the family does not breakfast together as a rule. Mrs. Bryan usual ly wf.the first to enter the dining roo&i Which is handsomely furnished In ljfeavy black mahogany manufac turer! especially for her. Neither she norgBir; Bryan drinks coffee or tea. Nonwo the children. ?nles?; there3 for??tijere are guests in the house the r.ookiijiever prepares either of these yan and His Grandchildren, Ruth and Biran Leavitt. _?-_-. beVe^|ge& except for herself. Mach moniker of the household orders ap propriate dishes demanded by the morning appetite. Guests do the same, i Mr.ftBryan seldom takes a walk aroUujfi the estate before breakfast. A colif bath Is indulged in as soon a3 he rifles. Then he hastily prepares his to.tlet and descends to the base m?nt~aj?lng room for a hearty break fast of- eggs, usually scrambled, beef steak^or- broiled chicken, bet corn cakes^and milk fresh from his own dairy;!* After thlis be plunges into the worlc,.^'f the day. He receives his mail by-rural free delivery. He goes overate first batch before Mrs. Bryan has put; her household affairs .In shape to joiuf-hinv in his workroom. Then he begins dictating to her. Mr. Bryan is a rapid talker, but hi's wife, al though} knowing none of the estab lished (Stenographic systems, is able to kesij'pace with his dictation. She uses ?Snethod of abbreviations of her own contrivance. He also dictates to her mjjst of his editorials for The Commoner. Mrs. Brym understands the political situation in detail almost as welliVas her husband. For years she hals, been traveling with him, meeting the men who confer with him and taking part in the discussions. She now has a most capable private secretary and handles a heavier cor respondence than Mr. Bryan. She re ceives ^herself a great many letters and ali - get answers. She also an swers ai great many letters of her husband's. He indicates the answers and she dictates the replies. His editorials in The Commoner and much of his other literary w?fk is dict?t?d to her, and she writes on the typewriter Instead of taking notes. She is\ja;f capable aDd experienced writer ,~Vand' those who are familiar with ti?Is -.class of work can, under stand the' advantage of having* aa amanuensis" who is always. ready with a word, a phrase or an idea. .In this respect the two are in perfect sympa- j ^hy,JJ^JaK?tf"^ fa?igue.i They intersperse this with attention to visitors and other mat ters.- ' Two interesting personages of the Bryan household are the grandchil dren, Ruth and Bryan Leavltt, aged four and three. They are the chil dren of Homer and Ruth Bryan Leavitt. Mr. Bryan has no office in the shop in Lincoln where The Commoner is published, but occasionally he drops in to see how the papw is getting along. This is a typical country news paper office. It smells of benzine and printer's ink. Old piles of exchanges are in the corner, and the man who gets a chair with a whole bottom in it is fortunate. Cartoons and prints decorate the walls, and scraps of re print are pasted here and there. The flies feed on the flour paste and the Inkwells clog up with ants. The smoking pipes of the printers are older than the town and stronger than the uplift movement in the office of a reform magazine. It is interesting to note that this ls the headquarters .of the whole Bryan movement. There are no smart head clerks and liveried mes senger boys. It is said that The Commoner pays' Its editor about $200 a month and others "get a good living." It is a fairly prosperous property, but no strain is made to pile up big profits. That is immediately plain to any experienced newspaper man who watches the way of doing things. Mr. Bryan is apparently content to have j it disseminate his doctrines, to pay , its own way and support its workers, and give fair returns. JUDGE GEORGE GRAY. Of Delaware. Notes of thc Dinmont).

Former Alleges that he Had Been Approached with a Proposition that if he Wonid Sup port a Certain Candidate for Sheriff of Charleston Grace Would not Enter Senatorial Race. Yorkville, Special.-The Senatorial candidates spoke to a representative audience of about three hundred vot ers in the Court House here. County Chairman Wilson presided. The ' only incident of special mo ment was an attack on Mayor Rhett by John P. Grace and it is generally conceded that the onslaught was in effective. Messrs. Evans, Smith, Johnstone and Grave devoted much of their time to criticisms of Mr. Rhett and his platform, and this was construed hy many of the auditors to mean that they believed him to be the man in their way. The first speaker was Hon. O. B. Martin who devoted himself to the subjects heretofore discussed by him. Mr. R G. Rhett was next intro duced. He outlined his platform a? to the needed changes in the financial system of the country and the fle*d of such legislation as would correct thi evil of (V.scrimination in freight rate.? between different sections of thc country, and made clear the fact thai he was'opposed to so hampering thr roads that they would not bc able tr properly maintain their tracks, roll ing stoek, pay their employes ade quate wages and the stockholder. reasonable dividends on their invest ments. In conclusion he asserted that he was a life long Democrat and said that while this fact was fully recognizedi in his home town, a partv from there, who was posing as a candidate for the same office as him self, would follow him and .attempf to impugn his Democracy. He stated that the only charge the party would make against him that was true was that he did not vote for President in the general election in 1896, bul did vote for Bryan in 1900 and for Parker in 1901 Mr. Rhett stated that after he had announced as r candidate for the Senate he was-ap proached by a party in Charleston who evidently spoke with authority and assured that if he would support & certain candidate for sheriff that Mr. Grace would not be a candidate for the Senate, and that otherwise .he. would, and that he refused tc **#&&9i?& y "piracy. Rhett.' He rovoted^iT&%f-^^ to reiterating his well-known plan for throttling Wall street gambler? and securing for the down-trodden, starved, naked and ignorant cotton raisers of the South their share of the necessaries, comforts and luxu ries of life, evidently oblivious of the fact that thc people of York county, wheu the farmers are the most prosperous class, were utterly unable to appreciate thc conditions so eloquently set forth. Mr. John Gary Evans followed and devoted his time to an attack cn the financial system outlined by Mr. Rhett an-l also to the need of revising the tariff. Mr. J. P. Grace was next intro duced. He spent bis thirty minutes in an attack on Mr. Rhett. scekin? to impress I he audience with Hie idea that Rhett's entire career was one of treachery to the State, to Charles ton and the Democratic party. He sought to engage Mr. Rhett in a col loquy, hut that gentleman stated thal after Grace bad finished he would have a few words to say in reply. When Grace closed he received littlr applause. . Mr. Rhett arose at his seat and stated in a few words that absolute ly every charge Grace ha.< made in his attempt to wash Charleston dirt? linen before a York county audience was false, except that he had no* voted in the general election for President in 1896. This was follow ed by long and general applause., and when it had lulled Grace at "empted lo say something. The appiLdsi was renewed, and for several minutes lie stood and attempted to speak, an rt it was not until the chairman appealed to the audience that he was allowed to say anything, and then his state ment fell on apparently deaf cars. Col. George Johnstone was the next speaker, and by reason of his well known ability as a blender of wit and sarcasm he had the audience in a good humor. He devoted some time to criticising Mr. Rhett an'1/ then look lip "Smithy" and kept " thc audience convulsed for a time with his recital of the dire calamity that awaited the cotton raisers of thc Sou!h i:i case the people should be so foolish as to elect the man who had accomplished so much single handed in so short a time, not only for South Carolina, but for the whole United States in forcing Eu rope to pay for cotton what it was worth. Mr. W. W. Lumpkiu was thc last of the Senatorial candidates to speak and confined his remarks to subjects on which he has dwelt at previous meetings. . Tn thc afternoon speeches were made by Messrs. Finley, Butler and Pollock, . candidates for Congress from this district. Prepare For "Dry" Convention.
