Denver, Col., Special-At 3:30
o'clock Friday morning William J.
. Bryan, of Nebraska, was for the third
time chosen to head the Democratic
national ticket. The nomination was

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- "

' 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."

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

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.

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

steak^or- broiled chicken, bet corn
cakes^and milk fresh from his own

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

respect the two are in perfect sympa- j

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.

SENATORIAL CAMPAIGN PAETY
AT YORKVTLLE YESTERDAY.
.Chief Inteiest in Meeting Seems to
Have Centered in the Cross Pire
Between Mayor Rhett and Mr.
Grace, th? 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.
