KANSAS CITY, July C The delegates to
tho ellver republican convention wero very
lato In assembling tills morning, uotwlth
standing practically all the Important work
of tho convention was scheduled for today.
It wn past 10 o'clock when Chairman Urown
rapped tor order. Kor a few minutes pre
vious to tho convening tho delegates were
entertained by speeches nnd prayers deliv
ered from a phonograph nnd thin resulted Is
ono rather touching Incident. Tho prayer
delivered by Dr. lllsolow of Cincinnati at
tbo opening of tho convention, and which
brought chccfH from tho delegates, was ro
puatcd amid dead sllenco. At its conclusion
a while-headed delcgato from Ohio started
Hinging "John Hrown's Hody." Ono by ono
tbu delegatrn Joined In tho old v..ir song,
until tho auditorium rang with tho thunder
of a thousand voices
A committee was oppolntcd to Invito For
mer Assistant Sccrotary Webster Davis to
iddrcss tho convention.
Tho committee on resolutions then nn
nounted It was ready to report and D. C.
Tlllotson of Kansas took tuu mage tu read
tho party's principles.
(rent cheering greeted tho reading of tho
plank on tho sliver question, tho endorse
ment of tho Inltlntlvo nnd referendum, tho
Nlcaraguan canal. Tho most enthusiastic
demonstration occurred when tho speaker
read tho plank extending sympathy to tho
llocrs, tho delegates rising enma3fo and
cheering for over a minute. Outbursts of
applause occurred frequently throughout tho
reading of tho somewhat lengthy document,
nnd a roar of endorsement wont up when
tho reading was concluded, vben an Inter
ruption occurred. The Traveling Men's
llryan club of Lincoln, headed by a brass
band, marched Into the hall and onto tho
ttagc. Tho band started "Tho Star Spangled
llannorl" and Mr. Tlllotson, turning from
his manuscript, led tho delegates In singing
Hip nnthem.
When quiet had bcon restored a delega
tion offered a substltuto for tho Nlcaraguan
plank, favoring "tho speedy construction of
tho Nlcaraguan canal, to .bo built, owned
and defended by tho government of tho
United States." This was adopted, Tho
platform as nmcndod was then placod on
passago and adopted with a thunder of
"ayes."
A wranglo ensued, over tho Introduction
of a resolution by a Nebraska delegate
making tho portrait of Lincoln tho party
emblem. Congrcssmon Shafroth of Colo
rado objected on tho ground that such ac
tion would mako tho ballots Illegal In sev
eral states. Tho resolution was finally with
drawn. "Wo would llkq to hear from tho commit
tee on conference," shouted a dclcgnte.
"Tho commltteo Is still In session," said
Sonator Teller. Thero has been no formal
expression by tho democratic members, but
I betray no confidence when I say that a
majority of tho members aro friends of Mr,
Towno.
"Let us do whut tho friends of Mr. Towne
In tho democratic convention want us to do,
watt, and give them n chanco and lot them
Bliow tho convention that Mr. Towno Is the
logical candidate of the democratic party.' i
"I3ut there Is no objection to nominating
IJryan now, Is there? nsked u delegate.
"No, sir," replied Senator Teller. "Ho
has been nominated for tho last four years."
A etorra of cheers came from tho delegates
tt tho mention of Bryan's name.
Teller Unionize llryiin.
Senator Teller, though still hoarse from
his speech of Wednesday, then launched Into
nn eloquunt tributo to William Jennings
llryan. Ho know every other democrat of
promlnenco In tho party and ho asserted
that thero was not ono of them who hnd n
ghost of a chanco of a nomination, nor had
thoy had any such chanco since 1S00.
Senator Teller's eulogy of llryan becamo
fervid nnd tho speaker alluded to him ns tho
Lincoln of tho silver republican party.
Senator Tcltr, In conclusion, placed Wil
liam J. llryan in nomination as the candi
date for tho silver republican party.
Long continued cheering followed tho
nomination. Delegates stood' on their
chains, waved hats nnd Hags and shouted
acclaims of tho Nebraska statesman till
they could shout no more.
II. S. IHzzari of California made tho
llrst seconding speech of tho nomination of
llryan and ho was followed by ex-Sonntor
Itanscim of Nebraska, who declared that the
silver republicans of Nebraska wero not for
llryan becauso ho Is from Nebraska, but bo
eauso, ho Is nn American and Iihs no Eng
lish Idea. Mr. Hansom concluded:
"Wo nomlnato him as tho Incarnation nnd
personification of Amerlrnnlnn."
Hrlef seconding speeches woro also made
ly Lleutonant Governor Hutchinson of
Idaho, Captain II. II. Lason of South Dakota
II. A. Turner of Knnsns, Judgo Van Vorbla
of Indiana, Judgo Spurrier of Iowa, S. L.
Cary of Louisiana. Judgo S. W. Hopklus of
Michigan, W. T. Fester of Missouri, tho lat
ter being cheored for stntlug ho seconded
tho nomination "In bohalf of twenty-Qvo
members of tho Missouri delegation who
votod for Fremont, seventy who voted for
Lincoln nnd 100 who served In tho civil
war."
Judgo Oeorgo Hoot of Ohio was given an
ovation when ho concluded an unusual'y el6
quent seconding speech, ns was Major John
Urown (colored) of Kansas, who plcdsod th
colored volo to tho support of Bryan. Ttcv.
S. W. Samplo of Mlnnrnota mado tho final
seconding speech.
"Clentlrmen of tho convention," said
Chairman Ilrown, "tho name of W lll.im J.
llryan has been placed In nomination tor tho
presidency. It has bcon numerously sec
onded. Are you ready for tho question?"
"Yes," thundered tho delegate. A rising
voto wan called for nnd every delcgito
Jumped to his feet, cheorlng aud shouting
for llryan.
"Tho vote Is unanimous," shouted Chair
man Ilrown and again tho delegates Joined
In n rattling chorus of cheering for their
nomlneo,
Web Huvl Ilenril From.
Webster Davis was thou Introduced.
Mr. Davis gavo the convention a brief his
tory of his trip to Africa and of lit with
drawal from tho republican party.
Davis' frequent roforonce to tho ability
of tho American people to tako caro of thoir
own Intorcsts, to have their own cunal, to
have their own gold, bestirred tho enthusi
nsm of tho convention, which becamo more
Jieatcd as Mr. Davis spoko of Lincoln and
compared him with llryan. "a pluin child
of tho common people"
Tho convention then adjourned until 3:30.
Two minutes after Chairman Ilrown called
tho silver republican convention to ordor at
B-30 .the convoutlon voiced Its fcollng con
cerning tho nomination of Stevenson by
howling down Delegate Lewis of Nebraska,
"I believed this morning It was our plain
duty to nomlnato llryan and Towne," he
said, "but I bellovo now It is our plain duty
to endorse- llryan and Stevenson."
, A perfect storm of groans and protests
uroso from tho delegate, many of them
standing on their chairs. "No, never," "Bit
down," "rats." they ihouted, and Mr. Lowls
was finally compelled to tako his scat.
Delegate- Hansom or Nebraska gained (he
Jloor and In uu eloquent speech pleaded for
hear from him. He will bo horo so n. '
Wet. I. Mf.Vllll liotx 111.
Webb McNall of Kansas wos then r.cg-
nlzed.
"It Is not necessary to go outside of our
party for ft vice president," said he, nrald
shouts of approval. "Do you gcntlcilicn
think It wisdom to maku tho tall end of
tho Cleveland administration your cnndl
date? Do you believe It good Judgment'"'
Tho hall fairly trembled from tho storm
of "noes."
"Nomlnato Charley Towne!" yelled a dot
egatu. Amid much confusion and tho pound
lng of tho chairman's gavel, Mr. McNall
shouted: "I muio that Charles A. Towne
bo declared the nominee of tho convention.
"I second tho motion," shouted a Jozun
delegntcs at once.
"Wait, gentlemen," exclaimed Senator
Teller, springing to his feet. "Wo want
somo calm deliberation."
"W'c havo hnd It for three days," Inter
ruptcd n dclcgato.
"No man living should stand In the way
of this cause," continued Senator Teller.
"I bellovo this contest Involves tho Ufa
of tho republic, n contest for liberty, for
tho cxlstnuco of free government. Let us
wait. Let us wait until wo hear from Mr.
Towne.
"Don't, gentlemen," pleaded Senator
Teller. "Ho moderate." His voice betray
ing deep emotion, Scuntor Teller said: "I
am going to support Mr. Bryan nnd the
ticket In every way I can, not for Mr.
llryan, but for tho country which I so love."
And then Mr. Toller, with tears streaming
from his eyes, took his scat.
Ton lit- Declines Nimilnnllnii,
W. T. Foster gained tho floor nnd Insisted
0:1 tho chair putting tho question. During
tho confusion that resulted, Charles A
Towno entered tho hall and In nn lnsinnt
tbo hall was n pandemonium. Cheer after
cheer wont up and Hags and handkerchiefs
wero waved by tho excited delegates.
Town wns Immediately surrounded by
thoso on tho Muse.
"Mr. Towne, wo want to nomlnato you,"
sald'nn Indiana delegate.
"I don't wnnt you to do It," said Mr.
Towne. "I understand what my duty la
In this matter."
"Wo must Insist on It," put' In another
delegate. "You havo no right to refuse,
You will break us to plecc3."
Mr. Towne, pnle-facel hut determined,
shook his head emphatically. "Give him a
chanco to bo heard," shouted Chairman
Iltown, nnd the delegates ono by ono took
their scats.
Mr. FlcmmluK, a delegate from Now Jer
sey, mounted the platform nnd demanded
recognition. Ho regretted to say that tho
proposed conferenco between a representa
tive from the populist party nnd ono from
tho silver republican party, with a rcpro-
sontntlvo of tho democratic national conven
tion, had not been held, nnd for himself he
believed that It was the duty of this con
vention to go on nnd complotctho ticket by
nominating Charles A. Towno for vlco presi
dent.
Mr. Flemmlng then cave way to Mr,
Towno.
"Tbu silver republicans havo mado n good
fight," said Mr., Towno. "They havo been
defeated, but," ho eald, "It Is your duty to
support tho ticket nominated by tbo national
democratic convention."
He Insisted that thorn was an Issuo In tho
coming election which towers nbovo men
und he lmplorod tho convention to look at
It as ho did. Ho begged them to remember
that llryan wns still at tho head. The plat
form of tho democratic party was almost
Identical, at least In principle, with tho plat
form of tho silver republican party.
While Mr. Towno was speaking soveral
attempts wero mado to Interrupt him with
questions. The convention howled down
these attempts until Mr. Towno yielded to
tho questions, after which Mr. Towne again
Insisted that It was his wish that tho con
vention should not nominate him.
Tho convention gavo Mr. Towno most re
spectful consideration, nnd whllo ho was
spraklng It was evident that tho conven
tion was disposed to follow Mr. Towno's ad
vlco and wishes.
Ily a practically unanimous voto tho con
vention referred tho vlco presidential nomi
nation to tho natlonnl committee with plen
nry powers nnd nt 5:22 p. m. tho conven
tion adjourned sine die.
Mliufiotli fur rienmcrnts.
Mr. Towno waa followed 'by Delegate
Shaft oth of Colorado, who favored tho sup
port of tho ticket nominated .by tho demo
crats convention.
Judgo Van Vorhls of Ohio also pleaded for
tho indorsement of tho democratic ticket.
Meunwhllo tho greatest confusion pre
vailed. DolcgatiH gathered In groups on tho
floor nnd excitedly discussed the situation.
Sonator Dubois wns recognized and eald:
"Whllo thero nro many sad hearts hero
today no ono feele moro keenly than myself
tho disaster which has overtaken us today.
But wo must view It ns our leader, Charles
A. Towne, wants us to, I movo that the
wholo question bo left to tho national com
mltteo with plenary powers."
Webb McNall, amid shouts of disapproval,
moved tho nomination of Towno. "I never
heard of a national committee being given
plenary powers whllo a national convention
was In session," ho said. "Lot Mr. Towno
decllno after nomination nnd let the national
commlttoe elect."
Judgo Spurrier of Iowa appealed for mod
eration and compliance with Mr. Towno'e
wishes.
"Do not condemn Mr. Stevenson becauso
Mr. Clovelnnd was distasteful to you," he
said. "Take a higher plane."
Chairman Ilrown urged the delegates "not
to crucify Mr. Towne."
Amid much confusion tbo previous ques
tion was called for. It was on Senator Du
bois' motion, nnd, by nn almost unanimous
voto, was carried nnd tho convention ad
journed nlno die.

Tennessco was up as soon as tho voto from
Hawaii had been announced nnd declared
that It changed Its voto to Stevenson. i The
convention recognized tho significance of the
action and cheer after cheer went up. Stov
onson was nominated now without question
nnd all over tho hall chairmen of delega
tions were on their feet, shouting and wav
ing their arms In tho effort to secure rec
ognition from tho chair In order to change
their votes.
Washington was first to secure tho priv
ilege nnd tho teller's cry, "Washington
changes Its entlro voto to Stevenson," pro
vokod wild enthusiasm. Tho cheering bo
camo so loud that it was almost Impossi
ble to catch tho changes as tho teller called
them out. Aftor Washington cams North
Carolina and then John L. Shea of New
York managed to make his voice heard as
ho called out, "New York chnnges hor en
tire voto from Hill to Stovonson."
This simply pulled out tho plug, broke In
both ends and all tho staves at ono tlmo nnd
tho roar that went up was deafening. The
atovenson men danced around In delight.
Then In rapid succession the following
states changed their votes to Stevenson In
the order given: California, Louisiana,
North Dakota, Nebraska, Hawaii, Florida,
South Dakota, Montaua and Connecticut.

thusiastic In tho oxtremo rear. A proeefielon
was formed to march around the hall, but
tbo long srsslon that had preceded tho nomi
nation ot Stevenson and tho exciting scones
of ycatcrday had worn tho delegates out
and the parade was shr:t In length, and
still nhorter 00 to Its lino of march, and tho
delegates confined themselves for the chief
part In cheering.
The vote of tho three leading candidates
before any changes were mado was as fol
lows: Stevenson, 65914.
Hill, 200,
Towno, 122H.
Whllo the changes of the various states
were being made, pandemonium rirlgned In
the hall. Delegates and alternates stood
on their chairs and throughout all ot tho
galleries peoplo were standing and cheering.
Practically the entire delegation from New
York, headed by Mr. Croker, left tho hall.
Women and children and othor spectators
who had been standing In tbo aisles during
tho proceedings, and a lot of superfluous
special officers and pages, swarmed over the
