W. J. Uryan for Pretrtdont.
Chicago , 111 , July 11. All of the
spceclu" ; presenting the names of as
pirants for the Democratic nomina
tion for President had been made
when the convention adjourned last
night and balloting was fixed for the
tirst thing this morning. In consequence
quence , the hosts which gathered in
the Coliseum filled every inch of space
long b " ore 10 o ' clock , and by that
hour pejp'e ' were being turned away
by the doorkeepers. TI12 delegates
were slow in gathering and the hour
passed with few in their places.
The managers for the various can
didates were early in consultation ,
partly to devise means to prevent a
repetiti-m of the stampede of ex-Con-
fern - %
W. T. BRYAN.
f-ressmdu W. J. Bryan of Nebraska
and partly to consider plans to ad
vance the interests of their respective
candidates.
BLAND MEN AND THE BRYAN BOOM.
The Blan d managers , while admit
ting the danger of the impetuons Bry
an movement , declared that it was
the result of adroit generalship and
that it had failed in its pnrpose to
carry the convention off 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 Bryan movement its element of
popular enthusiasm The Bland men
were hopeful of winning accessions
from the South after the first ballot.
The Boies and Matthews forces
were satisfied that no nomination
could be madeon the early ballots ,
and that Bland and Bryan would dis
appear after their full strength had
bsen registered and had been found
insufficient to nominate.
PATTISON'S NAME PRESENTED.
At 10:5G Chairman White of Califor
nia , who had recovered the use of his
voice , stepped to the front of the
stage. Running his eye for a couple
of seconds over the crowd , he glanced
down at the pit and with a blow of
the gavel called the convention to
order. With shuffling feet the vast
audience arose and listened when the
Rev. Dr. Green , the chaplain , prayed
for righteousness and peace.
Chairman White then announced
that the convention was still on the
call of states for nominations , ana
Mr. Hamty of Pennsylvania , chair
man of' the national committee ,
mounted his chair and placed in nom
ination ex-Governor Robert E. Patti
son. This evidence that Pennsylva
nia would stand by the platform and
participate in the nomination , drew a
cry of delight from the silver men ,
and Pattison ' s name got a swinging
round of applause from the galleries.
Mr. Mattingly of the District of
Columbia seconded the nomn. : tion of
"that peer' .ess champion of free sil
ver , that firm friend of the farmer and
laborer , Johu R. McLean of Ohio. * '
Delegate Miller of Oregon added to
the list of nominations the name of
Sylvester Pennoyer of Oregon.
Thus the names of Bland. Bryan ,
Boies , Blackburn , Matthews. McLean.

Chicago , July 11. William Jen
nings Bryan of Nebraska was nomi
nated for President of the United
States by the Democratic national
convention on the fifth ballot.
As soon as the fourth ballot was
announced , cheers were raised for
Bryan and an attempt was ma.de to
stampede the convention to him , while
Illinois and Pennsylvania asked leave
to retire for caucu-.es.
Then the standards of nineteen
states were taken lo the Nebraska
delegation , while the convention
cheered wildly. The sco-ne of Bryan's
demonstration of yesterday was re
peated , the entire convention standing
on chairs waving hats , fans and news
papers containing pictures of Bryan.
There was a procession of state stand
ards about the hall
Tremendous cheering arose as
Illinois joined the procession , and it
was announced that Illinois in caucus
had voted to go for Bryan.
There were no portraits of Bryan to
be found in the citj * large enough for
convention purposes. A morning
newspaper which had printed a full
page picture of the convention star
orator was much in demand. Copies
of it wore stuck up on canes in the
galleries and a Mississippi man hung
one sheet to the standard of that
Next came the report that Ohio waste
to cliange to Bryan.
A banner marked "No crown of
thorns , no cross of gold , " was carried
in the procession. Then the conven
tion went wild as the Ohio standard
was carried to the Nebraska delega
tion , and the convention was appar
ently stampeded to Bryan.
Chairman White announced that
two-thirds of tiie voie. > cast would
nominate.
Suddenly two girls dressed in pink
appeared on a tab ! back of the alter
nates " seats. They held in their
hands a iarge silk flag , on one -ide of
which shone the clear cut features of
Brvan. To and fro it waved , while
• • " n')0 ) thronts veiled and * .or < ? anied.
The band pla\ed , but it could not be
heard.
Tiie dance of the purple statv guid
on-about the Nebraska guidon con
tinued for five minutes. Then they
started in Indian file to parade the
standards about the delegates. Kan

North Carolina , South Carolina , Dis
trict of Columbia , Wyoming , Idaho ,
Alaska , Minnesota and Michigan were
in the procession. '
Frenzied men fought for the stand
ards of ths other delegations. Cali
fornia was tirst wrenched away from
those who attempted to restrain it
and check the Bryan stampede. Del
egates fought like men demented for
the Illinois standard , while Governcr
Altgeld stood black and resolute
guardinh his banner , but the delegates
were intoxicated with enthusiasm. A
hurried vote was taken. Bryan car
ried the day and the Sucker state's
banner joine 1 the parade.

For Vijo President M U. SEWALL of Miuuu
Chicago , July 1 . The Democratic
national convention completed its
work this afternoon by nominating
on the fifth ballot Mr. Sewall of
Maine as the running mate for W. J.
Bryan , the "boy orator" of Nebraska ,
who was nominated with such great
hurrah yesterday afternoon.
The result was accomplished only
with considerable difficulty and iu
defiance of Mr. McLean ' s wishes , pos
itively expressed this morning. At
tempts were made to stampede the
convention to Richard 1lilund of
Missouri , but these failed , though he
was once within fifty yotes of a ma
jority. Joseph C. Sibley of Pennsyl
vania was also distinctly in the race
for a time , but was dropped at his
wish expressed oy telegraph. On the
fourth ballot John it. McLean of Ohio
seemed an almost sure winner , but at
its close it was positively announced
that he was not a candidate for the
position , and Mr. Sewall of Maine
won.
Tin : last bay's chowd small.
Although 10 o'clock was the hour
fixed for reassembling this morning ,
at twenty minutes after that hour not
more than 100 delegates were in the
pit , and the galleries were not half
filled. The delegates had been worn
out by the struggles of the past four
days , and public interest seemed to
have culminated yesterday in the nom
ination of a Presidential candidate.
The news that John R. McLean of
Ohio , who was the most formidable
candidate last night , had finally and
positively decided not to allow his
name to be presented for the Vice
Presidential nomination , left an open
field for the second honor. The silver
leaders stood about with their heads
together discussing the availability of
the various candii. itcb. Ex-Congress
man Ren Shively of Indiana , recently
nominated for governor of that State ,
was strongly talked of by the leaders ,
despite tiie declaration of the Indiana
delegation that his nomination would
confuse the situation in that State.
George Fred Williams of Massachu
setts. Mr. Sewall ot Maine and several
lllinoi men , as uell at > Mr. Bmndand
Boies , were also mentioned. It was
said that it was Mr. JSryan's wish that
a man of wealth should not be placed
on tiie ticket with him.
As the hands of the clock pointed
to 11 o'clock , Chairman White called
the convention to order. There were
only about G.000 people in the hall.
More than half of the gold delegates
were absent. Contrary to the usual
custom , the proceedings were not
opened with pra3er. A few routine
announcements were made before the
names of the vice presidential candi
dates were presented. Chairman Har-
rity of the national committee an
nounce' ' the last meeting of he old
national committee , and W. Fin ley of
Ohio , moved the ratification of the
delegations.
GEOIIGE IT.KI ) WILLIAMS FIRST.
Nominations for the vice presidency
were then called for , after a motion
offered by Senator Jones of Arkansas ,
had bo < - adopted 1'inking th nomi
nating speeches to five minutes each.
J. T. O'Sullivan of Massachusetts ,
who had often attracted the eye of
the con i-ntion by his outbreaks of
enthusiasm , walked to the platfor.m to
place in nomination George Fred
Williams of his own state. Although
he is no * a graceful orator , his sen
tences -re ringing and had the close
attention of the convention. He re
ferred to the .sullen delegation from
New York and urged the convention
to prove that it had turned down New-
York's leader referring to Hill not
because he came from the East , but
because he was for gold. He told how
Williams had fought the corporations
in Massachusetts and therefore • 'had
been antagonized , ' " the speaker said ,
• • by Henry Whitney , a Standard Oil
magnate and brother of the Whitney
vho sat silent youdor. " pointing to
the New York Standard Oil man.
O'Sullivan urged the convention to
choose a man from the Atlantic coast ,
that East and West might join hands
on the ticket , and ended : "We do
not want a man with a barrel to in
augurate this peaceful revolution. "
"water " ' mahstox xajies m ' leajt.
Cries of "Water , water , ' ' were
shouted in chorus when Mr. Marston
of Louisiana , the planter who had so
often appeared before the convention ,
came to the front. He was in his
usual humorous mood and said : " 1
assure you , gentlemen , that I have
not tasted a drop of water to-day. "
He wanted to place in nomination
John It. McLean of Ohio , and he said
that he did so on his own authority-
He assured the convention that , al
though his state delegation had repu
diated him ( Marston ) the day before ,
he represented the people of Louis
