In France the “Boy Soldier’’ was tne.idol of infuriators, and the power they gave him led across the bridge at Lodi through Bor- odino to Moscow.

The galleries were not filled to a fifth of their capacity. The chairman of the Pennsylvania dele- gation, Mr. Harrity, was present, but most of his co-delegates had left the city. Some of the New York delegates were in the ball, but it was agreed that they were to take no part in the voting for Vice- President. The New Jersey delegates were absent in abody. General Bragg and most of the delegates from Wisconsin were on the floor, but only the five Wisconsin silver men were to cast their inaividusl votes for the Vice-Presidential candidate. At 11 A.x. Chairman White calied the convention to order, aud prayer having been dispensed with, Mr. Harrity of Penn- sylvania announced that the present Na- tional Committee would meet at the Pal- mer House at 3 o’clock this afternoon and would be glad to welcome the new Na- tional Committee. Senator Jones of Arkansas moved that the convention proceed to the nomination of the candidates for the Vice-Presidency, and the motion was agreed to with cheers. George Fred Williams of Massachusetts was put in nomination by Mr. O’Sullivan, a delegate from that State. Mr. O'Sullivan said in part: “This convention has nominated a man who has sprung irom the loins of the peo- ple. Now that you have given a platform to the South and West, carry the war into Africa and give to the East a candidate for the Vice-Presidency. I nominate a man from Massachusetts who has the courage of his convictions and who came out for silver against an almost unanimous pub- lic sentiment. X “Gentlemen, the war is over. If youn want to answer that sullen delegatior from New York (pointing to where the New York delegates sat) come to the East for your candidate for Vice-President. Nominate 2 man who was once a gold man, but who saw the error of his ways and whose voice has oiten been raised .against corporations—George Frederick Williams of Massachusetts.” [Cheers.] Mr. Marsden of Louisiana took the plat- form and said: *I want to name to you a wheel-horse to keep this young colt in the traces. He is a thoroughbred, and therefore we should take all the better care of him. The man 1 shall name comes from a pivotal State. ‘Who is the wheel-horse and which is the pivotal State? John R. McLean of Ohio is that man and Ohiois that pivotal State. [Cheers.] Give us McLean and we will sweep the country.”’ Mr. Maloney of Washington State, stand- ing in the aisle, said: “In the name of the State of Washington I place in nom- ination our honest son, James Hamilton Lewis.” Hon. J. H. Currie of North Carolina was next introduced. He said be desired to name a man whose fame was not confined to one State, but extended a!l over this broad land; a man revereda and honored in his own State and all oyer the country where he was known. In the last election he was nominated on the Democratic ticket for the high position of Supreme Judge of North Carolina, and received the votes of the men ot all parties, Repub- licans and Populists included. He clos by naming Judge Walter Clark. > The chbairman in presenting the next speaker said of him: “I had the honor of serving in two Congresses with him. I saw him there when the Wilson tariff bill was under consideration, and although he stood on the floor and admitted he knew of the steel trust, as it is called, to control the manufacture of steel rails, and al- though be was engaged in an occupation which derived an immense profit from that trust, he had the honesty to contend and vote that steel rails be put upon the free list. [Cheers.] I present to you big- hearted, brave, honest Tom Johnson of Ohio.” [Cheers.] Hon. Tom Johnson took the stage and put in nomination George W. Fithian of llinois, saying of him: ‘‘He has been six years in Congress and his action and his every vote there places him in accord with your platform. He has the merit, which, I think, is absolutely necessary for the Vice-Presidency. He is not a wealthy man. This fight will have to be won by the people, by the men who are in- terested in humanity, Ifitisto bea race between money and men money will be on the other side, for the moneyed men of the Democratic party have mostly gone to McKinley. Iam not a free-silver man; I do not believe in free silver; but I do be- lieve that the Democratic party has started a great revolution for the good of the people. But for free silver, which I thing is wrong, you bave inaugurated a movement for the good of humanity and therefore I am with you heartily. [Ap- plause.] Make not the mistake of think- ing you can bind anvbody with money; it will kill the ticket before the peonle. Mr. Fithian is from Illinois. He comes. from a State that is pivotal and I hope to God that you will nominate him.” [Applause.] Hon. William Miller of Oregon said he rose to place in nomination a man who had been twice the Governor of the great Btate of Oregon as the Democratic nomi- nee, notwithstanding the fact that the State was 10,000 Republican—a man re- cently nominated Mayor of the great metropolis of the Northwest—ex-Governor Bylvester Pennoyer. [Faint applause.] When he was Governor of Oregon, con- tinued Mr. Miller, the railroad companies bad trouble with their men and he went upon the scene of action and he said to the corporations: ‘“Pay your men and you wiil have no more trouble.” They _paid their men and he did not cail out the militia. [Cheers.] Heis in hearty sym- pathy with labor and all the great labor movements of this country will indorse bim. Iappeal to you to recognize the Pa. cific Coast and mominate ex-Governor Pennoyer of Oregon.”” Senator White retired temporarily, leav- ing Representative Richardson of Tennes- egee to preside over the convention, ‘William R. Burke of Los Apgeles. Cal., presented the name of Arthur Sewall of Maine, as & man who strove ‘‘for liberty when God himself was dumb.” Mr. Showalter of Missouri presented the name of Joseph C.

The name of Sibley on the ticket would, Mr, Showalter said, add strength and solidity to it. [Cheers.] €. 8. Thomas of Colorado seconded the nomination of Arthur Sewall as a man distinguished for business ability and life- long devotion to the causs of Democracy, and whose name will fill up and round out the work performed by the convention yesterday. O. W. Powers of Utah presented the name of Senator Daniel of Virginia. He lauded Democracy as the party whose principles were *‘equal rights to all and unjust discriminations 10 none.” “You bave inaugurated,” he said, ‘‘a new era, wherein silver and gold, the two money metals, shall go hand in haud as God in- tended, scattering blessings on every side. I desire now, in behalf of the youngest Btate of the Union, the State whose star was placed on the flag last Saturday, to suggest the name of John W. Daniel of Virginia for Vice-President. I present it without his request and without his knowl- edge.” Mr. Jones of Virginia acknowledged the compliment paid to his State, but sald he had been'instracted by Senator Daniel to say if his name should be presented as' a candidate for Vice-President that under no circurastances should it bs voted onin the convention. F. P. Morris of Iilinois seconded the nomination of Mr. Sibley, and spoke of | him as a man whose “‘name and personal- ily would consume iniquities and destroy corruption.” “If,” he added, “you link his name to that of the masterful orator from Ne- braska, you will be inscriving victory on all your banners as sure as the stars shine at midnight or the sun at noon- time.” Ulrich Stone of Ohio seconded the nom- inatien of McLean, and spoke of him as the man who, through the Cincinnati En- quirer, made this silver convention possi- ble. George W. Fithian of Illinois spoke in support of the nomination of Mr. Sibley. “‘Pennsylvania’s honored son.”” Although Mr. Sibley had been represented us a Pop- ulist be was as good a Democrat as any man who had a seat in the convention. It was true that Mr. Sibley differed with President Cleveland and had had the cour- age to express his convictions, regardless and fearless of the administration and everybody else, and it seemea to him that Mr. Sibley’s criticisms of the administra- | tion could not be found fault with In a| convention which had, by nearly a two- thirds majority, refused to sustain a reso- lution commending the administration of Mr. Cleveland. John Scott of Bath, Me., spoke in praise of Arthur Sewall of Maine, as one of the leading business men of New England and as president of a National Bank; as a man whose ships spread their white wings to the winds of every ocean and carried the United States flag to the uttermost parts of the earth., He could not promise that the delegation from Maine would be be- hind Mr. 8ewall’s nomination, but he could promise that next November Mr. Sewall would have the Democracy of Maine behind him. [Cheers.] “Wreathe,” he said, “‘with the sunflower of Nebraska the pine flower of Maine, and next November these flowers en- twined will prove more threatening to the Napoleon of Ohio than the tread of the marching Prussians proved to the great Napoleon at Waterloo.” This closed the nomination oratory, and the balioting began at 12 o’clock. The balloting proceeded without notice- able incident until New York was cailed. When the announcement was made, “New York dectines to vote,” the galleries raised a yell. The chairman of the Ohio delegation, standing on his chair, saia although Mr. McLean was not a candidate, the Ohio delegation insisted on casting its Vice-Presidential votes for John R. Me- Lean. A poll of the delegation was de- manded and it was disciosed that at least four of the delegates present were for Sib- ley and one for Fithian, but under the unit rule the entire vote went to McLean. Pennsylvania announced through Chair- man Harrity that itstood 7 for Sibley, 2 for Pattison and 50 delegates were absent or not voting. Alaska with its six newly conferred delegates (all gold men)declined to vote. . Oregon changed from Pennoyer to Sib- ley. Georgia, which had been passed by request, cast her vote for Bland, at the same lime expressing the opinion that he ought to be nominated by acclamation. | The State of Nebraska, out of delicacy lest its vote might be taken as an indication of Mr. Bryan's wishes, asked to be exeused from voling for the present, and was ex- cused accordingly. The counting of the ballots was pur vosely delgyed to enable the leaders to ar- range, if possible, to swing the convention over to Bibley. - 0 yio g Utah attempted to precipitate it by changing its vote from Daniel to Bland, but the chair declined to permit changes in the vote at this stage of the proceedings. The clerk announced the result of the first ballot as follows: Blackburn 20, Bland 62, Teller 1, Daniel 11, Harrity 21, Boies 20, Williams of Illinois 22, White 1, Fithian 1, Williams of Massachusetts 76, McLean 111, Lewis 11, Clark 50, Sewall 100, Sibley 163; absent or excused 258. Total number of votes cast, 682; necessary to choice, 455. At 1 o'clock the second ballot was begua | and Alabama attempted to lead the Bland stampede, but the next States called did not take it up to any great extent, largely adbering to their first choice. Several of the States having the largest delegations, however, asked to be passed for the pres- ent with the view of casting decisive votes later on. When Rhode Island was called the chair (Mr. Richardson) said the chairman of the Rhode Island aelegation had called upon him a few moments ago and stated that his delegation was compelled to leave to take the train for home, but had author- ized him, with the consent of the conven- tion, to cast their votes for Harrity. W. H. White, chairman of the Wash- ington delegation, made a little diversion in the monotony of the proceedings by standing on his chair and declaring that the vote of Washington was unfortunately divided by the influence of the ‘‘gold- bugs.”” The chairman cut him short by declaring that debate was not in order. It became evident that the Bland moye was not a success and Governor Stone of Mis- souri, who had withheld the vote of his State till the last, got up and said that the delegation from the State of Missouri had no authority to present the name of Mr. Bland for the nomination for Vice-Presi- dent, but if the convention votéd for him they did so on their own responsibility. He then proceeded to cast the vote of Missouri for other candidates. At 1:42 o'clock the result of the second ballot was announced as follows: Wil- liams of Illinois 13, Clark 22, Pattison 1, Harrity 21, Bland 244, Williams of Mass- achusetts 16, McLean 158, Sewall 387. Sib- ley 113; absent or not voting, 255. Total vote cast, 675; necessary to choice, 450. A third ballot was immediately ordered, but before it had proceeded far the chair- man said he thought it proper to inter- rupt the balloting to introduce Amos Cuin- mings of Tammany Society, New York, who would read a telegram which would be of interest. Mr. Cummings then took the stage and read the following dispatch from Mr. Sibley, dated from Pittsburg, Pa., to-day: 3 Hon. Amos Cummings: Please do mot permit my name to be presented. I so instructed my friends yesterday. JoserH C. SIBLEY. When Missouri was called Governor Stone said: ‘“Under instructions of the wajority of the delegation Missouri casts her 30 votes for Bland.” The result of the convention’s third ballot was officially announced at 2:10 P. M. as follows; Pattison 1; Daniel 6, Bland 255, McLean 210, Bewall 97, Sibley |19, Williams of Massachusetts 15, Clark | 22. No choice. It being evident by this time that the convention could not be stampeded to Bland, when the fourth ballot was started Governor Stone of Missouri addressed the convention. He said: I desire on behalf of the Missouri dele- gation and as the friend of Mr. Bland to express to’you our grateful appreciation of your kindness. Iam now in receipt of a telegram trom Mr. Bland in which he says substantially thathe would deem it unwise and impolitic to nominate both candidates from the west side of the Mis- sissippi River. [Cheers.] He desires me to say that the nomination of Mr, Bryan has his warm and hearty approval. And he thinks thst the nomination of Vice- President shoula be with one object alone in view—that is, the strengthening of the ticket. Accordingly he directs me to say that he wishes his name to be withdrawn from the consideration of the convention for the position.”” [Cheers.] The fourth ballot was then begun. In the course of the vote Mr. Fithian of Ilh- nois ueciared (out of order and amid great confusion) that the convention counld not afford to nomiate 8 man for the Vice- Presidency ‘who had announced that he could support one principle of the plat- form—that 1n favor of imposing an income tax. The chairman refused to allow any debate during the vote and directed Mr, Fithian to take his seat, The result cf the fourth ballot was an- nounced as follows: Williams of Massa- chusetts, 9; Clark, 46; Harrity, 11; Patti- son, 1; Danicl, 54; Sewall, 261; McLean, 206; whole number of votes cast, 678; ab- sent or not yofing, 252; necessary to a choice, 452. . Before the fifth ballot was entered upon the chairman of the Ohio delegation, Ul- rich Sloan, made the following statement: “The Obio delegation has received two telegrams from Mr. McLean. They state substantially what Isaid this morning, but that you may have the exact words I will read what Mr. McLean says. He speaks for himself, not for the Ohio dele- gation: ‘Any vote cast for me for Vice- President iz against my éxpressed wish and against my authority, Please an- nounce this to the convention, ‘Jomx R. McLeax.’ ” “This is Mr. McLean, not the Onio dele- gation,” sdded Mr, £loan, Nevertheless, e effect of the telegram was felt in the next ballot. Louisiana and other States who had voted for McLean changed for Sewall, and when Wisconsin was reached sufficlent votes had been cast for Sewall to elect. Nebraska immediately changed her eighteen votes from McLean to Sewall; Kentucky followed and Oaio chipped in and a procession of State standards started round the hall in honor of the nomince, But there was no cheering.

TuEe Carr HEADQUARTERS, } GREAT NORTHERN HOTEL, CHicaco, ILL., July 11. The unexpected occurred again to-day. Arthur Sewall of Maine was nominated for the Vice-Presidency by the Democratic National Convention. John R. McLean was leading on the fourth baliot, when his name was withdrawn. He wired that he would not accept the nomination. It was then that the Illinois delegation, which was solid for the Ohioan, went over to Sewall. His nomination followed on the nfth ballot. When Governor Stone of Missouri re- tired Bland on the third bailot, having been advised to do so by a telegram direct from “‘Silver Dick,” who declared that 1t would be suicidal for the party to name the President and Vice-President from the Mississippi Valley, McLean shot forward, and had 296 votes on the fourth ballot, with 261 recorded for Sewall. Bibley’s re- tirement aided the efforts ot the man from | Maine. Sibley himself had been on the floor of the convention during the week, and had made many friends by his strong aud happy personahty. McLean was a | hot favorite from the start, and might have secured the nomination had he not retired when the delegates were bending his way. . Arkansas led the bolt from Bland to Sewail on the third ballot and was fol- lowed by California. McLean and Iilinois later assumed a like attitude. Idaho, led by Hillard, went from Bland to Sewall on the fourth ballot and was followed by other Bland men, in- ¥ cluding the Missourians, and then all the 1arger delegations began falling in line for the man from Maine. The West wanted Sewall in order to off- set the cry of sectionalism, which had been raised by Eastern delegates against the solid West and -the solid Suuth. The further East they could go to geta man for second place on the ticket the better silver men, who had heard and heeded the ery of sectional differences and animosi- ties, were suited. Upon this basis the nomination of Sewall seems to have given general satisfaction. Quite a healthy demonstration of ap- proval followed his nomination by accla- mation. The Maine delegates were par- ticularly jubilant and led the procession of standard-bearers about the convention hall. The candidate for Vice-President is a resident of Bath, Me, He is a ship-builder. and it is said has money to throw at the birds. Had a vote for Vice-President been taken last night McLean would probably have been the nominee. He was the only candidate prominently menticned for the place up to the time when the convention adjourned. The silver men and the re- form element in the National Democracy had heard that there were things in the life of John R. McLean that would not bear the sunlight, aad besides, they did not like his attitude on the income-tax question. They wanted him, however, for his “sack,” but it was learned during the Georgia switched to |} formulated that it impressed the delegates from the South and West and they stood by him nobly until he was finally nom- inated. My impression of Sewall is that he is & dignified and kindly man. He is a man of conviction, for when all New England was holding out for the single gold stand- ard he persistently blew the silver trumpet. Born at Bath, Maine, in 1835, he early became associated with his'father in the ship-building business. The firm with which be is associated has built some of the largest ships in the world, as well as the only steel sailing-ship ever constructed in this country. Mr. Sewall is interested in several railroads and also connected with a number of banking concerns of the town in which he lives. He was one of the original silver men of New England. The delegutes are rapidly leaving town. Nearly all the State headquarters have been closed, and although it is 100 in the shade to-day the enthusiastic supporters of Bryaa and Sewall are to-night shouting loud and long for the nominees of the greatest Democratic National Convention ever held. ‘The California delegates are scattering to-night. Manv are starting for home. Dr. Ragan, who was honored with a place on the convention medical staff, and J. J. Dwyer will go to Washineton. Senator White, Congressman Maguire, W. W.

The Nominee Speaks of the Spread of the Movement In the Eastern > tates. CHICAGO, Iri, July 1L—Mr. Sewall was present in the convention during the first four ballots for the Vice-Presidential nomination. He left the hall during the fifth baliot and was on the platform of the railway station waiting for a train down- town when word was taken to him of the result. He went immediately to his rooms in the Palmer House, where he was seen after the adjournment of the convention by.a reporter of the United Press. Mr. Sewall is a fine-locking man of good stature and solid build. He is 61 years of age and looks the prosperous New Eng- 1and shipbuilder, railroad man and banker that he is. He said he preferred to do no talking, but consented to answer a few questions. He said: “The nomination came to me entirely unexpectedly. Ihad no idea of any such result when I came to Chicago. I wish you would also say that it came without solicitation on my part. I shall remain in Chicago several days and have not de- night that McLean was not a liberal spender—in fact, it was 8 ated that he was a flunky and even if named for Vice-Pres- ident would not contribute largely to the campaiga fund. 3 On the other hand, Sewall is a generous fellow, affable and easy of approach. He has been a member of the National Com- mittee for a number of years and is highly esteemed by the committeemen from the various States. This nomination was fostered by his silver associates on the National Committee, and his sincerity in regard to the white metal was so well cided what day I shall start for my home.” * Asked for his opinion of the chances of flu‘m\ht in the East, Mr. Sewall said: “I think they are very good. The strength of the siiver men in the East is greater even thsn the friends of silver realize. Judging by our own State the silver party is strong and constantly grow- ing there. In my State when Iannounced myself asa siiver man two years ago I could count the silver men on’ the fingers of my two nands. Teo-day the majority of Democrats in Maine are silver men. I an- ticipate & lively campeaign 1n Maine, and it isnot impossible that we may carry the State.” Mr. Sewall was asked: , “If the Dembcrats are defeated in the Septemver elections in Maine will it not hurt the National ticket?”’ He replied: *It ought not to do so. The Republicans generally win there.- In fact not since 1880 have the Democrats carried the State.”” “Will the refusal to support the ticket by the Democratic newspapers in the East hurt the ticket?” “I don’t think so,”” he replied. Mr. Sewall said he had never met Mr. Bryan until he came to this convention. He added: ‘‘He is a very fine man, I heartily ap- prove of the candiaate and indorse the platform. I tnink the convention has reached a successtul conclusion, and I have great, confidence. in the success of our ticket.” o e S ARTHUR SEWALL. Sketch of the Life of the Man Nom~ inated for Vice-President by the Chicago Convention. Arthur Sewall, the Vice-Presidential nominee of the Democratic party, 18 well known in San Francisco among ship- owners and agents. He has been heresev- eral times in the capacity of managing owner in several ships in which he is largely interested, and all, or nearly all, of which were built at his shipyards in Bath, Maine. The large ships Shenandoah, Sus- quehanna and Kenilworth, Henry Vil- lard, Reaper, Willie Rosenfeld, Iroquois, W. F. Babcack, Solitaire and the Dirigo have been controlled by Mr. Sewall. Tne names of these vessels are familiar about the city front. The last time Mr. Sewall was in San Francisco was anout one year ago, The firm of Williams, Dimond & Co. are his agents in San Francisco. The concern of which Mr. Sewall isthe head is Arthar Sewall & Son. The father of the Vice-Presidential can- didate was a builder of ships in Bath when that industry was at its height and there was money to be made in that way. They were wooden ships of the old time sort, as stout and as trim as they could be made by the burly and skilled shipwrights of New England. The father laid the basis of an enduring business, and provided a handsome competence for his family. His son Arthur became identified with the business in due time, aad another brother also was a shipbuilder, but he died some vears age. Arthur Sawall has continued in the business, aid has added to the original wooden-ship plant a steel ship- yard. From the latter it is not known that more than one steel ship has been produced—the Dirigo. The product of the Sewall plants has included schooners in considerable numbers. In fact, the Sewall name has been connected with shipbuild- ing for many years. Arthur Sewall has been largely inter- ested in railroads, and has been president of the Eastern Maine Railroad and als president of the Bostun and Maine Rai road. He has been largely concerned in other business enterprises. He is esti- mated to be a wealthy man—a millionaire. He lives in an elegant mansion on the finest street in Bath, the Sewall home having cost somewbere about $60,000 and perhaps more. About it are fine grounds, conservatories and generally pleasing and sightly sccessories. It may be recollected that, although he is a Democrat, he hand- somely entertained President Harrison when the latter visited Bath a few years ago. Harold M. Sewall, who was United States Consul-General\at Apia, Samoa, during the trotiblous times in which Malie- toa was a prominent figure, is a son of Arthur Sewall. The son is 2n ardent Re- publican, and was a delegate to the Re- publican National Convention of 1896 at St. Louis which nominated Wiiliam Me- Kinley for President. Personally Mr. Sewall 1s about 5 feet 8 inches tall, rather heavily built. His whiskers and hair are somewhat gray. He is 61 years old. His manneris modest and unassuming. He has not figured as an office-hclder largely in politics. Maiue, his native State, it will be recollected, has been at times thescene of much discussion over the money gquestion. Solon Chase, the once-noted Greenback leader, stumped the State in -behalf of “fiat money” in company with Samuel F. Cary of Ohio in a campaign in which the agriculturist was pushed to the fore, the favorite illustra- tion of financial questions chosen by Solon Chase to point his meaning being an alle- gory abont *‘them steers.”’ Captain McLoon, who resides at 2428 Jackson street, this City,an old towns- man of Arthur Sewall, has just returned from Bath. He recently sailed a ship be- longing to Artbur Sewall, but he has little to add to what 1s already know coneerning the personality of Mr. Sewall. Captain McLoon gave a repre- sentative of Tie CALL some facls concern- ing Bath, Me., which form the basis of a picture of the surroundings among which Arthur Sewall has lived. Bath, he says, is a quiet little place, its streets shaded with great trees after the fashion of so many New England towns, an air of peace and industrial decay resting upon it. The what it was. Other industries have been established there, but have generally failed, “The town is no bigger than it was when I was a boy there,” said Captain MecLoon. Into this pictare the stability of the Sewall family fits as into a frame. Arthur Sewall, who was born in Bath November 25, 1835, lives on the estate which has been in the possession of the Sewall family since 1760, when his grand- father took the title only three removes from a grant by King George. Among the vessels built in earlier days the old-fash- ioned whaling vessels and coasters figared. The State of Maine was once famous for these craft. The firm has been Sewall & Son for three generations. Arthur Sewall has two children, Harold M. and William D. He is president and gflnclpll owner of the Bath National ank. He retains large interests’in rail- rouds aud raliroad building. For many vears he has been chairman of the Maine Democratic State Commitiee and he has iielon Demaocrat. > NEW TO-DAY. ship-building industry is far from being | Is the light that will bring a great E;fi glow of 1inppinam to you.
