upon him came from nil. sides. Ho gut in
the front row of delegates, with ex-Senator
Murphy on his right and Judge VanWysk
on his Immediate left. A second seat away
was Mr. Crokcr. Hill protested voclfcr
crously. Judgo Van Wyck said he could not
refuse. Murphy and Croker pleaded .ltu
him to obey tho will of the convention and
accept. While tho plendlngs continued tho
call of Delaware was heard abovo tho roar
mid Delaware yielded her place to New
York.
At this the bulky form of Senator Grady,
the sllvor-lougucd orator of Now York,
pushed through tho densely-packed nlsliu
up to tho platform. There was a hush
throughout tho hall to hear what word New
York had to offer.
' In behalf of tho united democracy of
New Vork," shouted Grady, "I present as a
randUate for vice president the nam? of
David Dennett Hill."
Tho effect was electrical and a tidal wave
of enthusiastic approval swept over the con
vention. Delegates stood on their chairs
nnd waved frantically, not In it few scat
tered groups, but In solid phalanxes. Flags
nnd standards wcro again mingled In tri
umphant procession, whllo a roar as from
Niagara pulsated through the sront struc

They saw Hill lcavo tho New York delega

platform. They could seo him appeal to
Grady to withdraw, whllo Grady's answer
was apparent from tho shako of his head
ind his ndvanco to tho front of tho platform
to continue his nominating Bpeech. When
tho demonstration had subsided Orady com
pleted his speech, placing Hill before the

lu nomination took his place. Tho senator
looked out sternly, eyen snvagely, on tbe
shouting thousands. When ho could bo heard
he mndu duo acknowledgment of tho honor
dono him.
Hill Wnnlfln't Hnvp It.
"Hut I cannot, I must not ba tho nominee
of tli la convention," ho declared with ex-p!o-lvo
emphasis. Ho was frequently Inter
rupted with shouts of approval, but when ho
left tho plntform tho delegates wore con
vinced from his words and maunci that ha
wan sincerity desirous of having hla nimo
withhold. It Is probably this a'ono which
prevented a nomination by acclamation then
and there, for the tempestuous Bplrlt mani
fested showed that tho convention was on
tho point of being carried off Its feet. It
was soon apparent, with Hill out, that Ste
venson was a strong favorlto. State after
state seconded his nomination Georgia, In
diana, Virginia, Iown, Kentucky, llllno a.
Some of tho dovotcd friends of Hill s 111
maintained their nllcgtanco to him nnd the
delegations of Now Jersey, Louisiana nnd
some others seconded his nomination.
A number of favorlio sons also were place 1
In nomination, Maryland bringing forwjrd
Governor John Walter Smith, Wash'ngtrn
naming James Hamilton Lewis, No th fan
Una naming Julian Carr and Ohio presenting
tho name of A. V. Patrick.
It was after 2 o'clock when tho aecondl-g
speeches, many of thera wearlscina, wcrj
concluded and tho balloting began. As tho
roll was about to bo called Mr. Lewis ap
peared on the platform and in a few well
chosen words withdrew from tho contest.
Tho vote was followed with lntcn o Inter
est, for whon Alabama announced thrco for
Stovcnson nnd nineteen for Hill it l:oked
as though a close and exciting contest was
to occur.
Dut It was roon ovldent that Stevenson
had a strong lead. At tho close of tho c 11
ho had 559H votes, which, however, was
not enough to nominate, tho requisite two
thirds being 624. Hill bad received 200 and
Towno
CliRiiKlnic In the I.uolty Mnn.
Dut boforo tho result was announced a
strong-lunged delegato from Tenpessco
stood on his chair and announced! "Tennes
see changes her 24 votes from Hill to Stcvn
son." That started the tide Irreilstably to
ward Stevenson. From every' quarter cf the
hall carao demands for recognition. Kansas
changed to Stovcnson, California did the
same, North Carolina changed from Carr to
Stovcnson, oven Now York finally and ro
luctantly announced Its chango from Hill to
Stovcnson. That ended It. Stevenson's
nomination was assured, although for somo

time longer tho various tatc3 contlujel to
record their changes from Towno and other'
candidates to Stevenson. In the end tho
nomination was mado unanimous. Its rn
nouncement was greeted with enthusiast c
approval and again state standards and ban
ners wcro borne about tho building in
tribute to the party nominee.
At 10:45 a. in. Chairman IUchardaon ad
vanced to tho front of tho plntform, a great
boquct of sweet peas In his hand, and with
a sweep of tho gavel cut off tho strains of
tho band, slowly stilled the confusion and
brought tho convention to order for Its third
day's work. Hut It was some mlnutrs be
foro there wns surtlclcnt quiet for tho open
ing Invocation nnd then the great audience
nroso while Kev. Habbl Mayer of Kansas
City delivered a prayer breathing tho tense
of responsibility resting upon tho conven
tion. (.'iinf iiKlmi Stop lliiNlnrn.
Immediately following tho prayer the call
of states began for the purpose of making
nominations for the vlco presidency. Great
confusion prevailed nnd very few of the del
egates wcro aware of what was going on
Until Alabama and Arkansas had been
passed and California wa3 called. Then the
doughty form nnd florid face of Senator
White emerged from tho Callfornlnns and
lu stentorian tones ho demanded to know
what was going on and that the aisles be
cleared of tho disorderly Intruders. When
tho chairman responded thot California was
being called for nominations Senntor Wblto
announced thnt California yielded to Arkan
sas. "And Arkancas yields to Illinois to place
In nomination Adlal Stevenson of Illinois,"
shouted Jeff Davis, the democratic candi
date for governor of Arkansas, standing on
a chair nnd receiving a cheer for his men
tion of Stevenson.
Now all business was suspended, a3 the
confusion had hecomo bo overpowering that
tho call of tho secretaries was Inaudible
abovo tho roar. The police and sergeants-at-arms
struggled vainly to dispossess the
mob, which was now well-nigh In control of
tho floor. Men fought to retain their places
and there were many exciting encounters,
which at times threatened to preclpltnto n
fight under the eyes of the multitude.
IIIIiiiiN rrcneiiiN Stt-i ciiNcm.
It took fifteen minutes to restore some
semblance of order and then the spokesman
for Illinois, Iteprcscntattvo James Williams,
presented tho name of Stevenson.

Mr. Williams sjioko rapidly and briefly
nnd nt his mention of Adlal E. Stovcnson
Illinois was on Its feet cheering wildly.
Kansas was up, as was Alabama, Arkansas,
Minnesota and a largo number of delegates
In different parts of tho hall. Tho ap

ing abovo a minute.
MliincNota Present! Townc.
When tho roll call reached Connecticut
that state gave way to Minnesota, amid
cheers and cries of "Towne." L. A. noos

to present tho name of Charles A. Towne
of his state. lie said:

Mr. Hoeslng Is a tall, powerful mnn, with
a olco befitting his stalwnrt frame. lie
could be heard In every direction. Ills
first applause was gained when he spoko of
Mr. Towne as tt man who embodied tho
best characteristics of American manhood.
When ho iironounced tho nnmo of Towno
there was cheering from tho Minnesota
delegation, which roso to Its feet, waving
flogs In frantic fashion. Tho galleries
Joined In the applause with fervor, but
there was less enthusiasm among the men
on tho Moor who hnd the votes. A stout
woman in tho northwest corner of tho first
gallery climbed upon a chair, holding In
her loft hand n colored lithograph of llryan
and Townc, while with hor right she waved
a handkerchief vigorously. Congressman
Shafroth of Colorado, a zealous supporter
of tho candidacy of Mr. Townc, climbed Into
tho gallery In on effort to get the woman
forward to tho platform, but she declined
to come.
Uy degrees tho enthusiasm spread
throughout the delegations, and In a short
tlmo men were up lu tbe states of Wash
ington, Wyoming, Montana and South
Dakota, but their number was much lc3s
than that which had risen to tho name of
Stovcnson.
Appeal tn Hill.
Whllo tho galleries wcro enthusing over
Mr. Towne, there was an excited little
group about the chair of ex-Senator Hill.
In tt was Croker.
"You must tnko the nomination and save
tho day," said Kdward Murphy, excitedly.
"I cannot, I cannot," replied Hill, his face
white and stern. "I do not want It."
"You must take It,' said Crokcr, leaning
over him, while Norman K. Mack and Frank
Campbell held Hill, ono on each side, and
urged him to accept. An excited man from
New Jersey, slinking his fingers under Mr.
Hill's nose, ehoutcd "You can't refuse; you
can't. The party must have you to save the
cast."
"I don't want It. You can namo Stoven
eon. He's as good as I am," said Hill, and
then turning to Murphy and Croker nnd
gripping his hands, ho said: "Please don't
forco this; please don't."
Mr. Murphy then gave nn Indication of a
prearranged schemo to nominate by say
ing to the excited Jersey man: "You keep
quiet nnd It will bo all right. Wo havo
It fixed."
Meanwhile the confusion continued to be
so great In the hall that, even after Chalr
mnn Richardson hnd recognized Ooverner
Thomas of Colorado to second the nomina
tion of Mr. Towne, not n word of his speech
could bo heard by either tho delegates or
the people In the galleries,
Finally, after Governor Thomas had been
speaking for n mlnuto or more, Former Sen
ator White went to tho plntform, and In a
ringing voice, warned the convention that. If
order was not restored he would move that
tho galleries be cleared.
When the state of Delaware was called
the announcement was mado that the state
would yleJd to New York.
A tremendous shout of applause swept
through the hall. Delegato Grady, one of
tho leaders of Tammany Hall, had already
ascended tho platform, and, as ho stepped
to the front to address tho convention, the
applause and cheering Increased.
His first sentenco rang through the great
building in trumpet tonos:
(iraily PrescntM Hill.
"On behalf of the democracy of New York
I present to this convention for the nomina
tion for vlco president, tho namo of David
n.nn.l 11111 irlvl!.!,
Ifl'UUC. ftll I
It was dramlitTc'Vln tho extreme. ' The
effect was elecfrtcal. His words sot the
conventn !n'-a frenzy of enthusiasm. The
scene which followed was by far tho most
tempestuous of the session, and the name
of Hill echoed and ro-echoed through the
hall, State standards wcro seized and held
uloft and tho convention was canopied with
fluttering flags nnd handkerchiefs. Dele
gates and spectators cheered and the great
structuro fairly shook with tho noise, when
tho gallerlc became infected with the en
thusiasm. Governor Hill, meantime, had worked his
way through tho surging multitude to tho
platform. As he ascended It his hands
were oagcrly grasped and he was escorted
to the scat of tho permanent chairman. Ho
asked Mr. Grady to yield to him that he
might mako a statement, hut Grady de
clined. Judgo Van Wyck of tho New York dole
gallon hurried to Governor Hill and began
nn earnest conversation with him, urging
him not to decllbo tho nomination, which
evidently seemed to bo within his grasp.
Hill only shook his head.
It was a pretty, even a dramatic sldo play.
All tho whllo tho convention was pulsating
with cnthulnsm und cheers.
When, finally, Grady was permitted to
proceed, ho said that Governor Hill might
decline, but, "decllno or not," he shouted,
"Now York's united nnd solid seventy-two
votes will bo cast to the end for David Ben
nett Hill."
Whllo Senator Hill on tho platform waited
for quiet and for Senator Grady to finish his
speech, he kept repeating:
"I will not take it." To Senator Grady ho
said:
"This Is absolutely unfair. You should
not do It."
Judge Van Wyck kept urging him to ac
cept and not, make n declination. Hill was
obdurate, His faco was like marble, his
hand trembled nnd ho wiped tho perspiration
from his brow. While Grady was spenklnc
Hill asked to seo Senator Jones and when
the chairman of the national committee
came tho ex-senator said to him: "Jones,
stop this thing. It Is not wise. It should
not bo forced upon mo. Help mo stop It,"
Chairman Jones said: "I will help you.
Go on nnd decline and I'll help you out. I'll
seo the delegation leaders. You aro right.
Go on and make your speech."
Hill Mnken u Speech.
Then ex-Senator Hill advanced to the
platform. He stood with head bowed a few
minutes, expressive of gratitude far tho
cheers that rolled In heavy volume toward
hlra from every part of the hall, and when
finally there was a chance of his voice being
heard ho said:
Mr. President and Gentlemen of tho Con
vention (great nppliiusei; Whllo I greatly
appreciate the action of the delegation from
Now Turk, It Is proper for me to say that
It is without my approval. (Cries of "No,
no.") I appreciate also tho manifestations
of friendliness on tho part of the delegates
from other states, but I feel that It Is my
duty to rise here and now and suy to you,
that for personal reasons, and good und
valid reasons, I cannot uccept this nomina
tion. (Great upplnuse und cries, "No, no;'1
and, "You have got to take It.")
I have not been u candidate, I do not
desire to be a candidate, und I must not be
nominated by this convention. (Henewed
appluuse and cheering and cries of "You
must, von must.")
There are gentlemen hero whose names
havo been or will be presented to this con
vention, any one of which names Is
stroncor thnn my own. (Cries of "No,
no.") Thero is no rilfllculty whatever In
making u satisfactory choice, nnd I ought
not, In justlco to them, permit my name
to lie used a single moment further, und
this convention should proceed to nomlnnto
a candidate from some of those who have
been named, In Justlco to me, In Justlco
to them, In Justice to tho party, In Justice
to tho ordinary proceduro of this conven
tion, it Is unfair to me to place me In this
position without my consent. (Great ap
plause,) Ho was frequently Interrupted by protests
as he Insisted ho could not accept. From
New York came cries of "Yes, you can."
When ho said clearly and firmly: "I did
uot como Into this convention ns a candi
date, I did not expect to be a candidate and
I cannot accept tho honor," again came tbe
cries of "Yes, you can," In greater volume
than before, but tboy bad not the slightest
effect
He left the platform cheered to the echo
nnd surrounded by his friends, who pressed
forward to grasp his hands.
When Georgia was called Mr. Hutchinson
of that state, who spoke briefly and cleaiy,
delivered n short speech In seconding the
nomination of Stoveneon from Illinois.
Jjnics Kennedy of Connecticut had ylilJcd
to Illinois In the roll call snd recclvod a
lllto favor from that state when Its name
was called and James Kennedy, chairman
of tho stalo delegation, made n short
seconding speech for Stcventon of Illinois.

When Idaho wns called sho gave way to
Washington and W. H. Dunphy place! In
nomination tho namo of James IUml ton
Lewis of Waehlcgton. Tho namo of Mr.
Lewis was received with hut few cheers
nnd they lasted but a few moments.
Indiana gavo way to Virginia and Con
grccemnn William A. Jones of tho latter
ststo seconded the nomination of Stcvemcn.
Iowa seconded tho nomination of Stevenson
from the iloor, Chairman Soils of that dele
gation contenting himself with tho simple
announcement.
Kansas did not respond nnd at the call of
Kentucky there wero cries of "Blackburn,"
but tho senator did not respond and ex
Governor McCrcary of Kentucky came for
ward nnd seconded tho nomination of Stev
enson of Illinois, whom he clalmod ns a son
of Kentucky, he having bcrn born In that
stnto.
Delegato 13. II. McCateb of Louisiana,
when that atato wus called, announced from
his scat that tbe delegation from Louisiana
unanimously seconded tbe nomination of
"that gifted leader and statesman, David D.
Hill of New York."
Again tho namo of Hill aroused the con
vention to cheering and applause.
MnrjlniHl .Mnn 'ntnpl.
Delegato A. Leo Knott of Maryland, form
erly assistant postmaster general, presented
tn a brief speech the name of Governor John
Walter Smith of Maryland.
When tho state of Massachusetts Tas
called Hon. Goorgo Fred Williams ascended
tho platform amid considerable applause.
In the course of bis address, which was de
livered In clarion tones, carrying to tho ut
termost parts of tho hall, ho paid a hand
somo compliment to the state of Now York,
which ho declared was unitedly In favor of
tho platform and ticket of this convention. '
For this reason no state was entitled to
greater consideration than Now York. This
was iccelved with a great shout, tho belief
becoming prevalent that Mr. Williams wai
about to second Hill's nomination. "The
nnmo which scorns most desirable In tho In
terests of tho party," Mr. Williams de- 1
clarcd in connection with tho vice presiden
tial nomination, "Is thnt of a man who Is
Intellectually and morally the peer of tho
candidate for the first place, Charles A.
Towno of Minnesota."
Unestlon Tnivne'ii Dcntoorncy.
Cordial applause was given Mr. Towno'c
name, but it wns tempered by such remarks
from among tho delegates as:
"Wo want a domocrat," "This Is not a
populist convention," and other expressions
that raised In question Mr. Towne's democ
racy. In response to these cries Mr. Wil
liams insisted that Mr. Towno was ob much
of a democrat as any man In tho convention.
At the conclusion of the speech both Wil
liams and Towno wero heartily cheered.
Minnesota, when called, yielded the floor
to Mr. Cummings of Connecticut, who
briefly secondod tho nomination of Towne
His speech, as usual with those secondine
tho nomination of Mr. Towne, was received
with much applause from the galleries.
Senator Money of Mississippi rose when
his state was called and made hl way to
tho speaker's platform. He dcelorod th
ticket should he composed of men both of
whom had been democrats In every polltle.il
afSljatQp. ,IIe therefore seconded the nom
ination of Adlal B. Stevenson.
Tho audience received Governor Stone of
Missouri with great enthusiasm, rising to Its
foct and cheering and waving flags, while
the band played "Dixie." When he spoke
It was with deliberation, and he was given
strict attention, particularly by tho local
audience.
HU eulogy of Teller and Towne called
forth n burst of applause and his sentiment,
that If they had been republicans their sup
port ot silver and Mr. Bryan entltlod them
to sents In this convention, was the s gnil
for moro enthusiasm. His closing re

Continental Clothing Company
Opens Saturday Morning.
Sale of
Continental
Stock
On Saturday morning, July 7th, promptly at
10 o'clock will commence the greatest clothing
sale in Omaha's history.
The stock consists of men's and boys' cloth
ing, men's shoes, hats and caps and men's
furnishings.
No store in our state has eujoyed a better
reputation. The house carried only the very
best goods, the product of the leading makers
of clothing in America.
Acting under orders from the United States
District Court I will take steps to turn the stock
into money ns rapidly as possible.
The people of Omaha know that 1 never make
extravagant statements. I can consistently say
that I believe this to be the greatest opportunity
ever offered to the people of Nebraska to buy
high grade new merchandise at bankrupt,
prices.
I may state also that a large portion of the
stock was purchased for this season's trade, and
never opened up, because of the delay in the al
terations of the store front.

This Is the season whero tho question
"What
toDrink"
is ot grave importance. Intenso beat dis
turbs the gastric functions and debilitates
the entlro system. Tho majority ot all so
called cooling drinks bring no lasting relief,
but rather unduly stimulate a craving for
more, until tho stomach is wholly demor
alized. Krug's Cabinet will effectually bar out all
Indisposition,
A few of thoso dainty, gold-rlmmcd glasses
will at once refresh and bestow enduring
comfort.
