The liland managers, while admit
ting the danger of the impetuons Mry
an movement, declared that it was
the result of adroit generalship and
that it had failed in its purpose to
curry the convention o(T its feet.
They still held the strongholds of .Mis
souri, Arkansas. Illinois and Texas,
and were confident that the actual
figures of the ballot would take from
the liryau movement its element of
popular enthusiasm The liland men
were hopeful of winning accession*
from the Mouth after the first ballot.
Ihe Holes and Matthew* forces
were satisfied that no nomination
could be made on the early ballots, j
and that liland and Bryan would din-'
appear after their full strength had j
been registered and had been found
insufficient to nominate.

Then the standards of nineteen

Chicaoo, July 13.—The Democratic
national convention completed Its
work this afternoon hy nominating
on the fl/tii ballot Mr. Hewall of
Maine as the running mate for VV. J.
Ilryan, the “boy orator” of Nebraska,
who was nominated with such great
hurrah yesterday afternoon.
The result wus accomplished only
with considerable difficulty and in
defiance of Mr. Mcl.eun s wishes, pos
itively expressed this morning. At
tempts were mude to stampede the
convention to Richard 1'. illand of
Missouri, but these fulled, though he
was once within fifty votes of a ma
jority. Joseph C. hibley of I’cnnsyl
y umu nun nn<« *• v i uu vi v hi uiv nnc
for a time, but was dropped at hi*
wish expressed oy telegraph. On the
fourth ballot John It Mel cun of Ohio
aeemed an almost sure winner, hut at
it* close it wus positively announced
that hu was not a candidate for the
position, and Mr. Bewail of Maine
won.
IIIK I.AST day's crowd small
Although 10 o'clock was the hour
fixed for reusseinbling this morning,
at twenty minutes ufter that hour not
more than too delegates were in the
pit, and the galleries were not hill f
tilled. The delegates had been worn
out by the struggles of tiie past four
days, and public interest seemed to
have culminated yesterduy in the nom
ination of u Presidential candidate.
The news that John it. McLean of
Ohio, who was the most formidable
candidate last uight, had finully and
positively decided nut to allow his
name to he presented for the Vice
Presidential nomination, left an open
held for the second honor. The silver
leaders stood about with their heads
together discussing the availability of
the various candidates. Kx Congress
man Hen .Shively of Ind.una, recently
nominated for governor of that State,
was strongly talked of by the leaders,
despite the declaration of the ludiuna
delegation that bis nomination would
confuse the situation in that State,
(ieorge Fred William* of Massachu
setts. Mr. Bewail of Maine uinl several
Illinois men, as well as Mr. Klund and
Holes, were also mentioned. It was
said that it was Mr. Hrvau's wish that
a man of wealth should not be placed
on tin* ticket with him.
As the hunds of the clock pointed
to 11 o'clock, Chairman W hite called
the convention to order. 1'here were
only about 6.000 people in the hull.
More than half of the gold delegates
were absent. Contrary to the usual
custom, the proceedings were not
opened with prayer. A few routine
announcements were made before the
names of the vice presidential candi
dates were presented. Chairman llar
rity of the national committee an
nounced the last meeting of the old
national committee, and VV Finley of
Ohio, moved the ratification of the
delegations.

Chicago, July 13.—The name of
Suuutor Jones of Arkansas is the only
one which has ao far been generally
mentioned in connection witli the

little attention from the inembera of
the committee and none from Mr.
liryan, whose wishes will be consulted
in making the selection.

with the candidate on this point, but
they express tbs opinion that Mr.
Jones would be entirely satisfactory
to him. The new national committee
as named in the convention to-day is
