BRYAN 15 NOMINATED, Traitors Force the Nebraska Candidate Upon the Populists. SCENES OF WILD UPROAR THE RESULT. Many Speeches in the Convention Before the Great Conspiracy pare favorably with the men in the mat- ter of oratory. Among the best of these is Mrs. Mary Ellen Lease. In her younger days she was a pretty woman of a pretty Irish type, but the enervating climate of the great West has taken the color out of her cheeks, and the suns and snows of many a hard political campaign have flattened something of their round- ness. Long practice in speaking has strength- ened and rounded her voice until now she possesses the resonant tenor of 2 man, Her voice is. much rounder and stronger than evén that of Chairman Allen, and her articulation, which is the indis- pensable thing in public speaking, is so clear that she can be heard at. the farthest end of the convention hall. Her gestures are awkward in the extreme, most of them being made with the left hand, which habit was no doubt learned from watohing Sullivan and Corbett in their boxing exhibitions. As she thrusts forward her left arm she leans bsckward, and this attitude gives her a rather un- couth profile. "As she stands thus, with her head thrown back and her long eye- lids balf closed. she reminds old theater- goers of Sarah Bernhartor Jeffreys Lewision the stage in their cat-like moods, purring Is Consummated. MIDDLE-OF-THE-ROAD MEN ALL DISGUSTED. Underhand Work of the Democratic Tricksters to Be Rebuked by a Straight Ticket. ST. LOUIS, Mo., July 25.—The Demo- orats succeeded in forcing Bryan upon the Populist convention with the aid of traitorous leaders, but there will be a straight ticket in the field. Half an hour before the result of the vote was announced Bryan wired to | Jones of Arkansus that he would de- | cline the nomination, because he would not consent to run on a ticket thatrepu- disted his colleague, Natiopal Banker Sewall. This dispatch was kept a secret from the convention. Middle-of-the-road men held a caucus last night and learned of the treachery and the fraud that had been practiced uwpon them. They were indignant and will repudiate the ticket. JOHN PAUL COSGRAVE. — If the recently deceased Populist Na- tional Convention was a fair type of its race Iam led to the conclusion that a Populist National Convention is a kinder- garten for young and old orators. Here were & whole day and a half wasted in falk preparatory to the nomination of two men, oae for the Presidency and the other for the Vice-Presidency of the United States. Every man, almost, of the 1300 and odd on the floor wanted to talk and had a speech already committed to _memory. Ohl the long evenings and the late watches spent in the composition of these speeches destined to thrill a nation’s repre- sentatives with loyaity and enthusiasm and to make him, the rural spouter, a name which should ring all over the land, into every village, nook and corner thereof. How often has he sat by the coal-0ili Jamp in bhis humble home at midnight, lulled into reverie by the soit sighing of baby cyclones through the silken whiskers of the ripen- ing corm, as he pictursd the shorthand representatives of the United Press and of the leading dailies from San Francisco to New York and from Halifax to Key West, and even to Havana, straining their necks as though they were of rubber in the ef- fort to hear and take down every golden word that fell from Lis lips, to flash them afterward, in all the rotuncity of their periods, into the bomes of people all over thisbroad land. ‘“‘Sdeath!' Shall he who hss toiled through so many lonely vigils in sweet communion with the muses be choked off and gagged as thouch he were a common dog in the pound. What? Gag a Populist? Apply the cloture to that silvery stream of eloguence? Nevah! be heavings! nevah! The spectator. who watched with a critical eye these Edmuna Burkes, Daniel ‘Websters, Foxes and Pittses and Wendell Phillipses and Robert G. Ingersolls in their flights of verbosity last night and to-day could not fail to be filled with a suspicion that the talkers left the Democratic and Republican parties because there was no room in those parties fér them to air their eloguence. I myself became of the same opinion respecting many of them. The escape of all this latent oratory being their heart’s desire, it may be easily under- stood that the vressure from within must have been of sufficient intensity. So one can imagine the feeling of pleasure, nay tne thrill of ecstacy, suffusing the entire beinig of the Populist delegate when the bald head and whiskerless chairman, metaphoricaliy speaking, punctures the gasbag with = blow of the gavel, and the words, ‘‘the gentleman from Kalamazoo'’ or ‘“Bitter Creek,” as’the case may be. These suggestions will throw some light on the reasons why the red-whiskered man from Rhode Island was torn from the plat- form last night by two stalwart St. Louls policemen when he made an uproar be- cause the chairman would not aliow the secretary to read his silver paraphrase of the Declaration of Independence to its conciuding period. It will explain why the Connecticut Yankee, away back in the rear of the hall, became blood-red in the face and brandished his fist murderously when the chair informed him that the point of order of the colonel from Georgia was well iaken and that he would have to sbut-up like a mouse-trap, just as he had finished his prefatory remarks and just their victims into unconsciousness of danger. Bhe is a Democrat now, and made a rattling speech for Bryan in which she claimed him as a Populist, but she did not mention that s week or ten days ago Mr. Bryan in public declared that he was & Democrat, and that the Democratic party was the only one which could get the people any relief. The Texans, the truest of the true blue, have not so many orators, and these few arenotof the kindergarten kind. “Stump” Ashby is a clear speaker, straightiorward, of the Texan quality and with not many frames of flowers around his sentences. Milton Parks, the stalwart editor of the Southern Mercury, robust and manly, with that breezy manliness of the South, |isa man of few words, but each of them can strike a plow or wia a friend to the | cause he advocates. Barnett Gibbs is another representative of the fervid school of oratory, and the | Texans are proud of him. As for *“Cy- clone” Davis, whose political star set below the horizon of his speach for Bryan to-day, he is a roughly chiseled orator of the Methodist exhorter school, the caaences of his voice alternating between a sob and shout with a copious rainfall of tears between. He is quick at repartee, but not of an original style and does not wear well. 1t should be explained here that the ““Cyclone’’ is not a member of the Texas delegation, but a member of the National Committee, so that Texas Pop- ulism is unsullied with the taint of De- mocracy.

Power to Put Up a New Ticket If Necessary. ST. LOU1S, Mo., July 25.—The National Convention of the People’s party, after Mr. Bryan or of Senator Jones as to who shall be the nominee of this convention.” The rest of Mr. Weaver’s speech was read from a type-written copy, and is as follows: In that midnight discussion between Brutus and Cassius concerning the contemplated battle at Phillippi, Brutus urged thit their cause was ripe, their legions. brimfull, st the height and ready to deciine. Said he: “There is & tide in the affairs of men which. taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyeage ot their life is bound in shallows and in miseries.” And then in dramatic climax he exclaimed: “On such a full sea we are now afioat and we must take the current when it serves or lose our ventures.” For twenty years we have been pleading with the peopie to espouse the sacred cause which is at stake in this campaign. We have constantly urged through good and through evil report that our principlés were more im- portant than party asscCistions; were above all considerations of private fortune er the petty and feverish ambitions of men. We have thus far suited our action to our words. Through five Presidential campaigns, stretching from 1876 to 1892, you correctly estimated the purposes of old party managers, and events have sustained every specification in your indictment against them. Millions of honest men within old party ranks were de- ceived, lured into ambush and betrayed. But not a single one of your pickets has ever been caught napping or been taken by surprise. To your devoted efforts is largely due the revival of economic learning in this country, which four days of heat, turmoil and unlimited oratory, completed its labors at 4:40 this afternoon and adjourned sine aie. Notwithstanding the receipt of one or more telegrams from W. J. Bryan, declin- ing to permit the use of his name on the Populist ticket unless Arthur Sewall, his associate on the Chicago ticket, was in- dorsed, Mr. Bryan was put in for the Presidential nominee, as originally con- templated by General Weaver of Iowa, and was seconded by one or more spokes- men from every State and Territory with about ten exceptionsand on a ballot re- ceived 1042 votes against 321 for Colonel Norton of Chicago, who at the last mo- ment was selected as the candidate of the unreconstr ucted middle-of-the-road ele- ment. It was the intention of this faction early in the morning to place Eugene V. Debs { In nomination and thus force the labor issue to the front, but Debs telegraphed declining to serve, and his telegram was respected. Strenuous efforts were made without avail by Ignatius Donnelly and | others to obtain some kind of an assurance that Mr. Bryan would accept the nomina- tion and stand upon the platform. The permanent chairman, Senator Allen of Nebraska, admitted that he had received some kind of a telegram from Mr. Bryan, but he said he had paid no attention to it He also said he had received one supposea to be from Governor Stone, but would not open it until he reached his home in Ne- braska. Before adjourning the convention adopted a resolution clothing the National Committee with plenary powers to do anything and everything which the con- vention itself might have done if in ses- ers, I wish o call attention to the maniy and consistent stand of those noble Texans to-day. When the convention went wild over the nomination of Bryan, the men from the Lone Star State raised their middle-of- it, and gathered around it asthe old guard used to gather about the regimental colors when the fight was the thickest and the enemy at his best. They stood unmoved, some stern and others with a smile on their lips, as the shouting hosts filed passed them with the standards of the Bryan States. Nor did they flinch even for an instant when friendly voices and admirers called upon them pleadingly to join in the | victorious march and wheel their State into the Bryan column. ‘‘Texas’ “Texas,” they cried, ‘“Come along. Fall into line.” But enthusiasm and cheers and coaxing could not turn tbem aside from principle, and when some of the Bryan Democratic delegates crowded too closely upon them some of the more excitabie Southerners seized the shouters by the waists and threw them over the railing. They were not to be jostled away from the middle-of- the-road standard and they wonld not suf- fer the standards of the few faithful States that bad rallied around them to be lost in the crowd. Three men bolder and mote rash than the rest were knocked down by the indig- nant Texans, and othiers were saved from similar hard usage by the interference of a squad of police. After the tool of the Democratic tricksters had rapped with his gavel and announced that the convention was adjourned for good and all, and when friends grasped the bands of those gallant Southerners the tears rolled down their sunburned cbeeks as they thought of the shame of the day, of the bitter humiliation ofthe morrow. Who would not rather have one of these outspoken, loyal hard-fisted men to be his friend than a dozen, nay a thousand Allens or Weavers, or McDow- ells, or sockless and conscienceless Simp- sons who betrayed to the rotten and cor- rupt Democracy a party which had a pria- ciple, and a constitnency representative of pure-minded American men and women tillers of the soil? g Shame upon the treachery, and may oblivion be the fate of the cheaply bought traitors! Itis fortunate that the people do not always vote or think with the dele- gates whom they send to a political con- vention, fortunate for the people and un- fortunate for those who betray the trust confided in them. It is fortunate that the action of the majority of the convention will not be indorsed by the honest Popu- lists who in their homes to-day were stabbed to the heart by their betrayal. The object of the conspirators was to knife the People’s party to the death, but they failed of their purpose. The party is too strong; it has too much vitality to languish and die because of a little blood- g, and in a few days when the Bryan managers are forced to tell the voters of the United States that his nomination by the People’s party convention was affected under the false pretense that he was a Populist and woula indorse the platform as he was warming up to the 212th degree of enthusiasm. It was natural that his collar should have taken fire when the 300 representatives in the press seats whooped at him and cried “time.”” No woncer that he resisted the efforts of the three police- men to remove him from his standing position on the seat of his chair, and that he desisted only when his colleazues ad- ised him tbat it would not be brave or safe to trip upand gouge and bite three many witnesses. One of the funniest of all the elocution- ists in the convention was the red-headed slogger from North Carolina, whqgkept the spectators shouting with laug] for about ten minutes last night. He was a big six-footer, broad-shouldered and deep- chested, end weighed about 225 pounds. With a neck as bovine as that of Grover Cleveland and a fist as large as that of Joho L. Suilivan, he looked and acted for all the world like a professional pugilist who has his enemy in chancery and who is uppercutting nhim viciously with the right. The more the people laughed the more he smashed the air with upward balf-arm_right-band drives, the poor fel- low believing that the applause and laughter were testimonials of approbation, when, in fact, they were only expressions of good-humored ridicule. The women of the People’s party com- and betray his colleagues the People's party will place a ticket in the field headed with the name of an honest Populist and with Thomas E.. Watson of Georgia to help him in the fight, if not for victory, for that which is better than mere victory, for principie. The blood of the straight Populists is up and at their meeting to-night they took | gented by the chairman. steps to ascertain whether before Bryan opened his speech with the remark that P was nom.nated his backers and Chairman | ;he condition of the P ’, policemen at once in the presence of so | Allen aid not know that he had wired o | s e A Senator Jones of Arkansas that be would but two aspirations—one was to preserve not accept & nomination at the hands of | untarnished and unbroken the great 1 pudiated bis | principles of the party, and the oth running-mate, National Banker Sewall of & preserve the party org-ni::uo.: ‘;::- the Populists who bad re Maine.

A noticeable feature of the last moments of the convention was the fact that though the result of the ballot for President was 9 announced, it was not followed up by any i declaration on the part of the chair that Mr. Bryan had been duly chosen the ean- didate of the People’s party for President of the United States. The convention separated in bad humor, many of the delegates openly denouncing the ticket as a ‘‘theatrical” one. It, how- ever, met the unqualified approval of Mrs. Lease of Kansas (whose name, usually printed as “Mary Ellen,” was officially stated to be “Mary Elizabeth”). In an impassioned address she assured the dele- gates that they had risen to the grandeur of the occasion and had done honor to the party and to themselves. ——— PLENTY OF ELOQUENCE. All Kinds of Speeches Made During the Closing Hours of the Convention. ST. LOUIS, Mo., July 25.—The conven- tion was called to order by the permanent chairman, Senator Allen, at 9:40. After prayer by the Rev. Mr. Kent of Wasaing- ton the chairman repeated his ruling of last might, that the amenament adopted by the convention giving the nomination of a Vice-President preference over the nomination of a President made the selec- tion of National Committeemen the next ordef of business. J. K. Burnett of Califormia protested that this was not so, and contended that the convention simply transposed the nominaiion of Vice-President and Presi- dent. The chairman replied that the gentle- man’s statement of fact was entirely mis- taken, and went on with the naming of National Committeemen. When this was completed he called next for committees on notification. The chairman announced that the next order of business was nominations for President. Mr. Green of Nebraska got on the plat- form to make a motion and a speech. The latter was to the effect that this wasone of the most important conventions that ever assembled on American soil, as it was to name a man who was not only to head the ticket, but who was to be elected. At this point the speech was interrupted by points of order, which irritated Mr, Green to the extent of making him leave the stand. He was, however, induced to come back, and the rules were suspendea to enable him to goon inorder. He de- clared, however, that his self-respect wouid prevent him from saying anything, and he retired for good. Alasbama being called, George Gaither of that State, addressing his ‘‘brothers and sisters of the convention,” yielded to James B.

"Your work now promises much to mankind, and is about to break forth in complete victory for the in- dustrial masses. Though oft repulsed b; multitudes whom we would have ubentcd’, though crucified in return for our kind- ness, through it all we have steadily con- fided in_the righteousness of our cause and the good sense of the people. We still believe that this Nation has & mission to perform, which bad men will not be permits to de- stroy, and recent events indicate that the nineteenth century is net, after all, to close with the friends of {reedom despondenc in the ‘Western Hemisphere. This country has recently witnessed a new Pentecost and received snother baptism of fire,. The recent convention at Chicago sounded a bugle call for union which cannot be misunaerstood and go unheeded. In its patriotic utterances end action it swept away all middle ground and opened the road toa more formidable organic alltance. They not only made union possiole, thank heaven they bave rendered it inevitable. From the very beginning our organization has made party fealty subordinate to principle. We will not here reverse ourselyes and refuse tp accept victory, now so easily within our reach. We will not refuse the proffered as- sistance of at least three million free silver Democrats and not less than one milliou free- silver Republicans simpiy because they have shown the good sense to cOme with an organ- ized army fully equipped and manned for bat. tle. Let them have their own divisionsand srmy corps. Let them manifest their own esprit de corps. The field of glory is open to all competitors who are fighting for the same principles. The Populists have already shown their prowess in many engagements during twenty years of struggle. 1f our allies can strike stur- dier blows at plutocracy than can we; if they | can scale the battlements of the gold tower more gallantly than our old veterans aund are able to plant their colors one foot nearer the citaael of the enemy than we can ourselves, let every Populist cheer and supoort them in their heroic work. We will all march under the same flag, keep step to the same music, face the same foe, share in and shout over the same triump! We cannot be mistaken concerning the real issues involved in the nrus‘le of the present year. It is between the gold standard, gold bonds and bank currency on the ome hand and the bimetallic standard, no bonds and Govern- ment currency on the other. The people are asked to choose between enforced. i iJ‘eue:n, destitution, debt, bankruptcy and despair on the one side and an open door of opportunity under just laws and normal conditions on the other. The situation presents the mightiest civic question that ever convulsed a civilized ne- tion. The conflict can neither be postponed nor avoided. In the name of the suffering people Iam firm that thi$ is no time for dis- sensions or party divisions. The supreme hour of action has arrived. If you would be victorious you must make common cause with the heroic men who dominated the Chicago convention. No other course is either prudent or aesiralie. We are not asked to abandon our party, nor would it be wise todo so. If it is to be preserved we will, in my judgment, have to e the course which I am about to indicate. The silver Democrats have lined up as an_organization. Now let the Populists, free-silver Republieans and th= American Sil- ver party do likewise. Form an embattied square—imoenetrable to the coafederated gold go'sl’. Atter due consideration, in which I ave fully-canvassed every fhie phase of the subject. I have failed to find s single good reason to justify us in placing a third ticket in the field. The exigencies of the hour lrperltively de- mand thst this shail not be doe. I would not indorse the distinguished gentlemen nom- inated 0. 1 would nominate them outrightan' ~ake them our own and then share ju tly and r ~htfully in their selection. Thesitua.. n ise king verification of the old adage that . “Pathof duty is the path of | safety.” Take this course and all opposition will practically disappear from the Southern and Western States and we can tnen turn our attention to our parts of the field. Take any other and you endanger the situation and strengthen the arm of our common adversary. If you allow the present bappy juncture to ss ell the nerofc work of twenty years will thrown to the winds. Our guiding hand will disappear in the momentous conflict just | when it should be stretched forth to steady | the ark of our covenant. We would prove to | the worid tha: weare devoid of capacity to grasp greatopposition and lacking strength to grapole with prodigious emergeuncies. Tne people have a gallantchampion in the field who is leading a revolt sgainst the plu- tocracy of Christendom. Every oppressor, every plutocrat in the two hemispheres has turned his guns upon him: The subsidized or- gans have opeuly procisimed that he must be crushed by any means and at % hatever cost. The confederated monopolies have lain aside their parties and their polilics aud are maren- ing in hot haste sgainst him. Let us signal to them 10 hold the fort, that we are coming. and tnen hasten 10 his reliei. Gentiemew, I want tosay to you in ail earnestness that assailed as this gallant fightis by the sleuth hounds of the money povier of the world you may deliberate here as you please but you ¢annot prevent the people from rushing to thesuppor:of their recognized defender and leader. If you wili not say the word they will break over all re- straints and go themselves, leaders or mno leaders, and may God bless them for sv doing. Therefore, in obedience to my highest con- ception of duty, with a solemn conviction that 1am right, I place in nomination for the Presi- deucy uf the United States a distinguished gentieman, who, let it be remembered, has slready been three times indorsed by the Popuifst party of his own State—once for Rep- resentative in Cougress, once for United States Senator and only last week for the Presidency. I name that matchless champion of the people, that intrepid foe of corporation greed, that splendid young statesman, William Jennings Bryan of Nebrasks. Mr. Bryan’s name was received with applause, the whole convention standing on chairs and waving hats.” A gigantic wooden cross, surmounted by a golden crown—thus reversing Mr. Bryan's fa- mous epigram—was brought in and car- ried around the hall. The guidons of States were raised and a vociierous at- tempt was made to raise enthusiasm, but with a marked absence of spontaneity. A portrait of Bryan was displayed and numerous devices were carried around the hall. All the States joined in the demon- stration except Missouri, Texas, ‘Rhode Island and Wisconsin. After the hippo- drome performance had lasted nearly twenty minutes the convention was called to order. General Field of Virginia came to the front and, in a short, impassioned speech, declared Mr. Bryan the choice of the Vir- ginia delegation, and declared that al- though no music had been provided, the convention was marching to “the music of the spheres”; that victory “‘stands tip- toe on the mountain tops, and that all the convention had to do was to ac- cept it.” “Now, gentlemen of the jury,”” he went on—*1 mean, gentlemen of the conven- tion [laugnter]; I move that the rules be suspended and that the nomination of W. J. Bryan be declared unanimously,” The chairman put the question, and two-thirds of the delegates rose with vo- ciferous shouts of “Aye, aye.” This cry, however, was accompanied by the. coun- ter cry of “No, no, call roll of States.” Several of the most excited opponents got on the platform and angrily prevented the chairman from declaring the result of the vote. During the uproar “Stump” Ashby of Texas managed to obtain a hearing. He said that the State of Texas had already The Issues stricted, choice at What other house has ever placed before youw the very choicest and cream of its stock, represent- ing the newest fabrics, the swellest colorings, the: very cleverest ideas of the very cleverest tailors and said to you for a pick from over 2000 Suits and Overcoats, giving. you your unlimited and wnre- style.
