LOUIS , July 25 The populist national convention this afternoon nominated Wil liam J. Diynn for president on the first bal lot taken , at the close of a long day spent In feverish oratory , wild excitement , riotous demolish nUnn and utmost dlsoidcr. No word had been received from Lincoln as to whether or not llrjan would accept the nomination No ono of the hundreds of noisy , perspiring delegates could say that he would endorse the platform. The doubts of the convention on these points were allajed hy the litatcmunt of one delegate that It was no business of Hrjau whether he was nomi nated or not , and by anothci who Insisted that the populists had no right to question Drynn as to Ills acceptance of the platform The convention was called to order nl 0 uO o'clock nnd the steady outpouring of oratory continued all day with only such Interruptions as wore affoided by the tur bulent delegates from Texas , who frequently plunged the Gathering Into fits of dlsordci nnd confusion. It was not until ten minutes of ! o'clock that the roll call of states was ordered for tlic llrst ballot. Hryan's only opponent was Norton of Illinois. Ignatius Donnully of Minnesota had been named , but ho peremptorily de clined to permit the use of his nimo. "Gen eral" Coxoy of Ohio was placed before the convention , onlj to ha\o his name hooted and Jceicd. A posltlvo rcfutal came In telegraphic form from Eugene V Debs to permit his name to beoted for. Norton of Illinois , known to but few of the dele gates , was the forlorn hope of the antl- llrynn faction which had been mused so abslduoubly by the Texas delegates. SOME SOLID STATES.

It it-quired but 700 votes to nominate Long before the roll call was completed it was evident that Hi j nil had secured several liundrcil moio than the ncecssaiy number The unomclal count hastily kept , by the reporters showed that of nil the votes c.iat 1)1 } an had received 1,0'J3 ; Norton 2SJ.

When Alabama , the first slate , wns called , she divided her vote between Bijari and Norton Arkansas gave twenty-live votes for Bryan Colorado , Connecticut and Delaware voted solidly for lliyan. Georgia gave flvu of her slxtj-ono voles for Norton. As the roll call proceeded , It bocnnro appar ent that Bryan would be nominated before It was completed. A row oe-currcd In the Missouri delegation , nnd It was passed Pennsylvania's thlrtj'-flvn votes for Brjan gave him 730 , thirty more than a majority , but the roll of slates was continued While Wisconsin was being called , Gov ernor Stone of Missouri appeared on the platform in company with Mr. Patterson of Colorado.

Tom Patterson Implored "Cyclone" Davis to an nounce tht Governor Store had an Important telegram , which Mr. Bryan deMred read to the convention "Don't jou do it , Cyclone , " said Smith of Illinois. The roll call went on to thn end , Chair man Allen still declining to permit an an nouncement. On Allen's refusal , Covcrr-or Stone retlied from the platform , followW by Mr. Patterson and several others While- Washington was being polled , Ignatius Donnelly mounted a chair and announced that ho understood Ilrynn had sent n tele gram to the convention declining to iccept the nomination.

The populist con vention , Just before the adjournment to day , narrowly missed becoming the sccno of what v.ould In all probability have been the greatebt sensation of Its proceedings. Governor Stone of Missouri and Delegate Patterson of Colorado wore present us the leproscntatlvps of Senator Jones , chairman ot tire democratic national committee , with a long telcgi.un from Mr. IJijan , doflnliiR his position with reference to the populist nomination In v lew of the refusal of the convention to endoiso Mr Sevvall. Governoi Stone was extremely anxious to lead thlb coiiiiiuiHleatlon , but the privilege was denied by Chairman Alien , and the convention was saved from what would have been a very exciting and Interesting scene The roll call of states for the presidential nomination was In progress , nnd had progressed so far as to maiiu it quite certain that If nothing occui red to change any of the votes all end } cast , Mr. Hrjan would bo the presidential nomlneo of the convention. Thcro had been anxious immliy by the mlddlo-of-the-rond men during the entire day for a message from Mr. Dijun , and the Texas delegation went so far as to wire him for a definition of Ills position It Is considered probable by many who were present that If tlio dispatch had boon read It might have changed the course of the nomination. Senator Allen took the position that It would at leaht create great confusion nnd much excitement , and that , In view of all the i Ircumstances , It would not bo who to have the message read. IIo also exerted his utmost endeavors to suppress any refer once to It In the proceedings , and succeeded In doing so until the roll call had been com pleted. The only mention made of the matter - tor was hy Mr. Ashby of Texas , who , rising to a question of pcison.il privilege , asked If anjthing moro was on tlio spe-al.or'a table from Mr. Ilryan , defining Mr. Dryaii'u attl- tudo "Thero is none , " replied Senator Allen. "Has there been none' ' " asked Mr. Ashby. The senator replied there had not been Senator Allen , however , had received a message from Governor Stone , which wan carried to him by Mr. Patterson , asking that the governor ho given an opportunity to road the Hrjan message. This ic-quest Mr Allen refused twice to grant to Mr. Pat terson. Ho also nftoiuard refused It to Governor Stone. . The governor wont upon the platform and was informed In the moat direct terms that ho would not bo recog nized. This refusal npparcntly ] ind the effect of displeahlng both Mr. Stone and Mr. Pat- tcworr Iho latter expressed the opinion that the convention was entitled to have Mr Ilryiin's atlltudo explained fully , as the dispatch would , ho cold , have explained it , and ho was greatly disappointed that this course was not puri-utd. 'Ihe two gentle men lingered in the rear of the hull , until the nomination of Mr. Ilran was announced and they went directly to a conference with Senator Jones. All the parties to the transaction refuged to give the contents of the Dryau message or to go Into jny details of its purport. It Is known , however , that It consisted of a number of replies from Mr Dryan to in quiries made of him over the wires by Senator Jones and that It vvaa n mere elaboration ot his short message of ft Iday night directing the withdrawal of hla name because of the refusal of the populist con vention to confer a nomination upon Mr Sewall , as It was about to do upon him self. One of the parties to the con ference said the dispatch was In no itentc a declination or rofuxal of the nomination and that no Intimation was contained that , Mr. Drjan would not accept. Senator Allen stated after the adjourn ment of the convention that as the dlnpatch was not addressed to him , ho had not evc-n felt It incumbent to read It to tha con vention , Furthermore , ho Intimated that ho was not pleased with the apparent ef forts to conduct the affairs of the populist convention General Weaver said there wax nothing in the mesiaKe which could In any was have changed Mr. IiryoD'8 rotation to thu populUt convention. lonn HlliT Mrii Am Slclf.
