His blood could not © been more completely frozen it ho had seen thrust into every win- dow of the building a loaded cannon with a uniformed government minion behind it. 1f that little book could not go through the mails thero are a thousand reform papers that could not go through the mails and tneir platform could not go through. The man te should name had already won his spurs 1n the brainiest and shrowdest as- sembly in tho United States. The man ho should namo stood there us o gant. One part of his sireng b consisted 1ntho fact that he is a member of no faction. In the fifieen or twenty years' fight they had been engaged in many wounds had been recelved, and unfor- tunately some of thesc scars haa been in- flicted by their comrades, but there was no man his candidato had wounded. 1t would give bim greater personal pleasuro to present the name of some miember of tho old guard, but he said “Let the old guard hold tno fort and lut the new cuara carry the banuor.” His candidate’s brain was not measured by the girth of his waist. [Laughter.] He was & man 5o great that no oig white hat of an ancestor could Hide him from the publio gaze. He pledged support to whoever the candidate might be, for no man could bo so great as the platform of prinei- ples of the pi His candidate was a brond and liveral ‘minded mun who gave to every one the rigit to speak and write for limself and follow the dictates of his own conscienco in ull things. The new par.y should tuke up tho Californa pioncer flag, with the rattiesnake and the motto, “Don’t “U'read on Me,” and say to Pinkerton detect- ana sillk stockinged militia, to cattie t0 corporations “*Don’t tread on me," It was not impossible or improbable that they might place the mun ne would name in the white house—that grand, magnificent man, James H. Kyle of South Dakota. | Mucn cneering. | General James Field of Virginia, A Connecticut delogate, who said his state had intended to support the peerless Polk, the great ex-leader of the farmers allianco, now dead, declured that in pursuance of that spirit he would present one who came from tne state which gave us a Washing! and a 1 JetTerson—General James Fieid of Virginia.

Basbor of lllinols, pastor of Stey tho Progressive church, said that as armies follow intrenid leaders (o conquest and vie- tory, 5o should political partics crown with hoiior the genius and leadership which gave it birth. The people’s party was founded on principlos not men, and it demanded as its leader its biggest, bramiest and squarest man in tho party fold. Tho party should koop in tho middle of the road and choose a man wio was old enough In the party to know whero the middle of the road is. That mau was Senator Van 'Vyck of Nobrasku, The mention of Van Wyck’s name aroused somo of the liveliest cheering of the conven- tion. John H. szed soldi Borgorman of Indiana, a one- . seconded tne nomination of B. Weaver. C. Vincent of the Nonconformist of a said that aithough Indians was divided now, sho would not, be in November. Ho had nothing to say against Weaver, but 1t scemed to im that they must get’ new blood iuto tho movement ut the head of the ctana take a man less identified with the curses showeved on the old guard, He seconded Kyle's nomination, and another Iu- aiana delegate jumped to nis feet and said onc-half the deiegution was for Van Wyck. Wheat's Talk for Weaver, ‘'ie principul speech for General Weaver was made by Mo L. Wheat of Towa, Weaver's own swate. Mr. Wheat said: Mr. Chatrman: No greater respousibility or higher duty ever rested upon a human assembly thad upon tho vne here convened. Wo are to nominate wen who will vear our bauner in this first organized flzht against the unscrupulous vuv thoroughly discipiined 1Bosts of monopoly. Struggles for Cqual rights and opportuni- ties are us old as Bumanity und dot the vages of history with altersato success and failure, but among them ull none call for mere cour- age, devoted patriotism and skillful leado ship than the oue about 1o commencs by uweea the consciercoloss hordes of plutoer and the avmy of voters who will faithfully follow the banner of the veople's party to the baliot-box next November. The com- mon peoplo of this country have at last re solved to take the reins of the wovernmoent which their forefuthers creatod and which have maintained into their own hands. ave 1o place in nomination a candidate for tne presidency, noi a pliant hiroling of Wail street, but one who springs from the great plain people of the country; one in thorough sympatby with theie wants; one who touches elbows with the toiler of the sbhop und the tiller of tha fleld. The leaders of the old party combine- tions take their certificates of ‘leadershi from a plutocracy mighuier than that which sent ltome to ter grave and holds Europe iu its wrasp todav, a plutocracy more fiendish than ever ufilicted a nation, It touched the bramn of tho Minneapolis and Chi- cago conventions. ‘The result everybody knows, or ought 1o know, is the choico of men who had been previously chosen by the money power of tho country.

Woeaver. Mrs, L nds Weaver, Mrs. Leese of Kansas caused tho greatest enthusiasm thus far in the eveniog by her spoech seconding Weaver's nomination. She said: “Let mo selecta wan from the ranks of the peoples party who is true and tried to 80 form princioles, and wil lead us on to victory, full and comblete. In bebalf of ' the - women of the nation who have by word and work alded you s0 nobly in your grand struggle for liverty, in benalf of the suntlower state I desire to second tho nomination of that true and tried friend of the people; that grand champion of human liberty; that hero of a hundred battles — brave, bold James B.

No need to askif he is true. Give us Weaver and no earthly power can keep us from sweeping on to victory in No- vember. A Kentucky delegate seconded the nomina- tion of Weaver, Major Henry Webb of Massachusetts, can- didate for governor of his state on the peo- ple's party teket, seconded the nomination of Senator Kyle. Wanted to Limit Specch Making, Tho spoechos wero gotting wearisome to the hot, tired delegates and besides, for sen- timental reasons, it was desired to mako the nomiuation before the Fourth had expired. It was moved to limit speachos to threo minutes and this stitred up Mr. Bird, a negro delegate from Chicago, who protestod against giving one sido a fair show and then giving the other side the buck and gag law. He wanted to speak. A compromiso was fixed up providing that no speecnos with reforence to old candidates should be made, but that nominating and seconding addresses for new candidates would be permitted and in this form tho motion to limit debate was declared adopted. Paige of Virginia, Delepato figery Brown of Massachuserts nominated Mr. Mann Paige of Virginia, who, besaid, was presidont of a state allianco and was, therefore, capablo of filling the position of 'tho president of tho nited States. If the houso of represontatives should be called upon to elect a president, Jocal pride of tho south would bo a very factor in_shattering tho democratic column that otherwise will elect the man named by one of the old parties. No man ould vetter re seut tho south than Mann Paige. 5 Dologato Iish of Minnesota rose to pay a tribute to Ignatius Donnelly and to toll of bis unselfishness in refusing the offer of the state by which ho was loved, to put him in nomination. “His fame as ap orator, as a statesman, as a lover of humanity is known from end to end of the land. 1 merely appear before you to bear testimony to tho love in which “Minnesota holds her most honorod son, Ignatius Donnelly.” [Long coatinued applause.] Interrupted by an Insane Man. A man outof his mind created a scene vy going on the platform and intorrupting the vroceedings. There were shouts to take him dowu and somo of cthe officers attempted to vemove him, but Senator Van Wyck called out not to make a scene. Mr. Powderly provouted what threatened to provo an ugly episode by taking tho gavol in the emergency, bringing the convention to a hush, and after giving the unfortunate an opportunity to say a few incoherent sen- tonces, persuaded him to quietly leavo tno ull, Nothwithstanding tho rule adopted against. seconding speeches for candiaates who bad already veen named and seconded, tbe flood could not be shut off. A withdrawal of one candidate, Van Wyck of Nobraska, varied tho procecdings. Vandervoort Withdraws Vaa Wyek. Mr. Paul Vanaervoort, in a forcible and eloguent speech, stated that Nebraska had no candidate to offer,determining to give her votes in November to the man chosen by the convention. Incidentally he alluded to VanWyck and asserted that Nebraska would have given him its hearty support had he allowed his name to go before the conven- tion. Since he would not consent, the people of Nebraska would see that he was selected for governor at the next state election. At midnight the roll of states for nominat- ing and seconding speeches was still in pro- gress, with Tennessee Lhe latest state callea. Joseph Walvop, Portland, Ore., seconded the nomination of Weaver, At this juncture Iudiana, which bad asked to be passed on the first call, made o request to be hieard by the chairman’ of her deloga- tion. He stated that Indiana had hstened to 1 that bad been suid by her sister states in order to ascertain the choice of all tho great states ot the Union, This choice had seemed to be for General Weaver of lowa, snd In- diana aanounced that the solia vote of the Hoosier state would be cast for the lowa candidate. |Prolonged appuuse. | The Virginia delegation also withdrow the namoes of its sons and declared unusnimously in favor of Geperal Weaver, G. B. Hanna of Washington, declaring that the two old parties named their president through tho aid of English capital, supported the namo of Weaver as a fitting representa- tive of tho people's party. Waest Virginia announced it would cast a solid vote for Weaver, believing bim to be the choice of tho convention. Took Thelr Cue from Indiana, The announcement from Indiana was the cue for other states and thero was quickly a landslide and a vush to get into the \Weaver band wagon. New York had been passed and Farmer Dean now appeared on the stage ana sad that the New York delegates agreed with New Eogland to remain peutral and allow the south and west 1o select the candidate und they would vote for the man selected. New York had said if you want that judge of such renown (Gresham) and he will stana on the platform it would vote for him. Now New York hoped Weaver's nomination would be made unanimous. It would vote soiid for Weaver, Mississippi swung solid iuto the Weaver line, through an announcement from one of her delegates. All her men were on their feet to make similar announcement, but were cut short by & protest from Sehilling that it was not fair to perwit these announce- ments and by allowing states to be called after they had been recognized, to stampede the convention C. C. Post, chairman of the Georgla dele- gation, got an opportunity, however, to suy that Georgin, which bad ' been one of the strongest states opposed to Weaver, would withdraw hor support of Kyle, and with the vonsent of the convention make Weaver's vomination unanimous, Schilling Trigs to Stay the Tide. The Kyio men, under the management of Wastuburn of Massachusetts, decided to make one last, desperate stand agatnst the Woaver ouset. Washburn aud Sehilliug held » husty conference and whon Wisconsin, nearly the last state on the roll, was called, Sonilliug took the stand and made oue of the wost notable und powerful specches of tho couvention, declaring his wutention to talk of practical politios aud bis want of faith in senument. Schilliog said be baa boen a member of the committee which had elected Peter Cooper and he was o member of the old guard. The men of the old guard @re the reformers who load this movement, Wheo it comes into power will they be thrown into the lumber rvom!

[Cries of “Yes" and 0.'] 1 propose to second the nomination of Senator Kyle of South Dakota,” Tho speaker concluded by stating thut the state had agreed by a vote of 47 to 1 to sup- port Svuator Kyle and declared that every eampaigu speech ho made would bo made in favor of tho nomines of the conveation. [Great applause, | Ward Replies to Schilling. George 13, Ward of Pennsylvania made a brief responso to Mr. Schilling's remarks. *Icome from the state of Penusvlvania,” said he, “where a Scotch lord, living in a oteh castle, has built a stockade to provent the working peoplo from getting tho wages they earn. [Cries of “Carnegie, Car- negie.”] It is said the capacity of a mau is his acity for gratitude, 1f thav be true, the capacity of & pariy must be its capacity for gratitude. Then let us remember tho old guard, those who led our movement in its darkest days and vote for James Weaver.” [Cheers. | An Oklahoma delogate seconded Weaver's nomination and eulogized his efforts in se- curing the opening of Oklahoma to settle- ment. Just before the call of the states ““Cyclone” Davis of Texas ondeavored to_seourc a sus- pension of the rules to muke Weaver's nom- ination uaanimous, but there was such oppo- sition that he withdrew the proposition. Weaver Wins on the First Ballg From the very beginuing of tho roll call Weaver led all_his compotitors and so over- whelming was the vote t for him that his nomination was practically assured before the ballot was half comploted, The Weaver infection seemod to sproad and asstate after staie cast its vole almost unanimously foi the Jowa man the Weaver prople grow wildly enthusiastic, the culmination coming when tho result was announced, the cheer- ing veing *uull and long continued. ‘The firs? pvallot for president resulted as follows, only one ballot necessary, Weaver being successiul beyond a cavi STATES paojuuig| | w00y afe, Alabama.

Presidential Nominations, With little delay a roll call of states for nominations for vice president was begun, Vice George I, Guither of Alabama presented the name of Mr. Ben Terroll of Texas for the honor. Delogate Beverly of Arkansas nominated ox-Coufederate General James (. Flield of Virginia, who proviously received one vo e on the presidential bailot. A delegato from Colorado seconded tho nomination. as did Dolaware, A Florida delegate named Ben Terrell of Texas, At once a delezate of North Carolina sprana to his feet and at the top of his voice asked if a man could be eligivle for the vice presidency who had been on trial before tho turmers allinuce. A number of the southern delogates attompted to make themselves hoard, and gave vise to a scene of confusion. Delegate Branch jumped on tho stage and yolled for order. Secretary ‘Lurner of the national alliance took advantage of a lull to support the nomi- nation of Gereral Field, who was cham- pionod by various other delegations, Terre.l Speaks for Himself, Ben ‘errell imsolf now mounted the plat- form. *“Any assertion,” he said, passion- ately, “that Iam or Have beon connected with any trust or have ever boon in any sense ombroiled with the government is an infamous falsehood. ~ It is an attempt to prejudice me with my friends, and Idefy the men who made the charge to produce the proot.

Al oy Harvey of loridagyew excited in aefend- ing Terrell, acnounsed the charge as an in famous lie, and assértel that it came from tho machine whiék eentrolled the cordage business of the coumrtry, Preveifpd n The remarks stirred up Samuel Leavitt of Joheg, Iil., who sbouted that be had the proofs. MeauwhileFerrell had watched the proceodings and guielly walked the aislo towards Leavitt. y/o Atcpersonal encounter seemed lLinminent, Mutoa few of Terrel's friends divined his.eperpose and surrounded bim, keeping bim from creating & scene, Noarly all the subsequent spoeches had soie relation to the ehurges and most of the speakers, while coming out for Field, were careful to say that it was not b2cause of ths Cordage trust matter. The ballot for .viee president resulted: Bieids, 785; Terrell, s, General Weaver aud General Field, the newly made nominees, were brought upon tho stage and given an ovation.

I object to that,” suid Mr, Samuoel Will- inms of Indiana, “and move to strike out of the report that part which relutes to tho sec- ond choleo for president,” “As I undorstand_that recommendation,” said Mr. Brown of Massachusetts, “vou will Jimit this nomination ultimately totwo candi: dates and put yourselves in & position whoro at no subsequent timo you aro at liberty to retiro both of them in~ favor of somo naw candidato.” “‘We understand that,” shouted soveral dclegatos. “Very woll, said Mr. Brown, A voto was then taken on tho adoption of the recommendation and it was declared carried by acclumation_despite the protest of Mossrs. Wilson and_Brown. Mr. Do of Oregon’ desired to limit the _nomination speeches to five minutes instead of fifteen, but the convontion just ut the moment was more vitully interested in _the sorious ques- tion of how to conduct the balloting. Finally Cha At this juncture the question of amending the rules committea’s report so as tostrike out thenrovision rogarding second choico was sprung in another form. Vandervoort of Nebraska opnosad the pr vision for the retirement of candidates with ouly a small following. “Weo believe,” said le, “that any man that has a choice should be permitted to exercise thar choice without veing muzzled and thataman can stay in aud be voted on even if he has only one voto until the crack of doom.” He proposed an amendment striking out the clause of the rules providing that after the second bailot all candidates oxcept the two leaders shall be retired and wserting a provision that when balloting vegins canaidates shall be voted for until there is o choico. This amendment prevailed by a_large majority so that the rules as to balloting aro in accord- anco with tho customary rules in national conventions on this matter. The rule as finally adoptod is as follow. In balloting for candidates the following or. dershall bo observed —tho sccre snall call tho roll of the states and tho chairman shall announce the voto as cast. Each state shall appoint 1ts own tellers, collect nnd count its own ballots and its chairman shall announce the result. When wo commence balloting for candidates we shall continue until some candidato receive a majority of all Lo votes cast. Adjourned to See the I Taubenock of Illinols was recognized and said that at 10:30 the Omaha Fourth of July parade would be passing the convention hall and be was about to proposo & recess when a sgat intorrupted with the statement that should keep on with tnoir business. Taibencck novertheless moved a recess for twenty minutes for tho parade and Colonel Norton making a speech that it was @ cour- tesy duo to the citizens of Omaha it was car- ried by a decided majority. After the Recoss. There was a great deal of disorder in tho ranssembliog of the couvention after the Fourtn of July parado wtermission and tho twenly minutes’ recess proved nearly an Hiour long, a1 part of o timo beiug taken up with ono of the numerous songs born of the growth of the now party. The chairman’s gavel from Oregon was mssing and he said he was satisfied some re- publican who bad got used to stealing gavels had taken it, but there was a goneral laugh when tho gavel was at once put iu his hands. There wero a large number of vacant seats in the hall, caused by some delegates from far-off states having no use for their quota, while others were held by the eitizens’ com mittee, which was endeavoring to sell them Paut Vandervoort of Neoraska moved toad- mitall old soldiers of the blucor the gray with out tickets,and one delegate moved an amand- ment to admit promiscuously all applicants until tho hall was filled, but withdrow it when another dolegate spoke in favor of standing by tho coutract between tho national committee and the citizens’ commit- tee. Vandervoort's amendment met \ith objection, and finally, aftor some aiscussion, the whole matter was tabled. I the Program, rade, TO BOSS THE FIGHT, 1to Con- cn.

During & thunderstorm a tremendous report was heard and everybady thought that the house had beon struck by lightning, Instantly a blue flaming ball dropped into the fire- pluco and rolled out into the room, seemingly about six inches above the floor.

Suddenly it roso above his head and moved off toward the pipe hole in tho ceiling, which had a piece of paper pasted over it. The bail moved straight through the paper and up tho chimney, When near the top it exploded and tore the chimney into thousands of fragments, The sight of the debris left by the explosion showed the family what would have be the consequence had it exploded while on its gyrating passago through the room. - BREAKS OF 1THE BUDS.
