CHICAGO , July 10 The populace began
gathering early In anticipation of a renewal
of the exciting Incidents of yesterday , l-ni
the legions who were to do the fighting
came slowly. It was midnight when the
lighting finished nnd many of the leaders
had been In counsel all night. There wcro
clans to bo marshaled , broken lines to be
reformed strategy to be devised , booms to be
fostered and booms to ho checked The
leaders hardly got n wink of sleep , while
the rank nnd ( lie of the delegates slept like
weary luttle-batteicd soldiers on their arms
They came back to the Held locHy baldly
refreshed , but full of light und resolution
The gold men took tholi places , sueh of
them as came , sullenly nnd bitterly. The
extent of the revolt In the east against the
platform adopted yesterday and the icfusnl
of thu onstcin gold delegates and those of
Wisconsin , headed by Hint scarred political
vetman , General Bragg , who loved Cleve
land "for the enemies ho had made , " came
home with a reali/lng sense to the sllvet
leaders this morning nnd they planned with
skill to picvent their followeis from being
carried away by their emotions. 'Iho action
of the gold men made Itltal that the man
to cany the banner of the new creed should
bo able to rally to his back all the silver
elements Iho generals of the Hlancl boom
were determine 1 to push the lighting. De

Humors to the effect that the Hrjan boom

distinguished himself on the first day of
the convention by developing an unquench

wrenched avvny fiom those who attempted
: o restrain It nnd check the Bijan stampede
Delegates fought like men demented for
Ihe Illinois standard , when Governor Altgeld
slood back resolutely guarding his banner ,
but the dclcgitcs were inloxlcalcd with
enthusiasm A hurried vote was taken
Bryan carried the d.iy and the Sucker
state's banner joined the parade. A fist
fight occurred over the possession of the
Buckeje stale standard , but McLean's
friends , though batlercd and shaken , held
Iho fort.
The storm rolled on nnd on. A big Bryan
flag was brought Into the Coliseum and a
mllk-whlto banner on which was n gold

Through It all Mrs Hrjan sat to the

look of pleasure lighted her features she
did not appear at nil excited by this won
derful demonstration In honor of her distin
guished husbind She Is a rather small ,
sweet-faced woman , with soft blown ejes
and hair. She was dressed simply In a gown
of dark material The only bit of color about
her was a llttlo bunch of deep purple In her
black chip hat. No ono in the vicinity
seemed to recognize In this little calm-faced
woman the helpmeet of the hero of the

When an approach to order had been ob

of the vote. The remaining names were as

"Whllo Kentucky loves her gieat democrat
and would bo glad to vote for him , they
seem not to want him because he was a
confederate soldier. Therefore , Kentucky
casts her twenty-eight votes for the world's
greatest orator , William J. Brjan. " At
this point the Illinois delegates ill oil back
Into the hall , their appearance stirring a
commotion. "North Carolina casts her
twenty-two votes for the sure nomlneo of
this convention , William J. Brj-an , " was
the announcement of that state. The Ohio
men mm died back and were again recorded
for McLean , their conference having pro
duced no change. The twentyfourotes of
Tennessee stopped Into Bryan's camp and
almost Immediately Vliglnla followed her
with tha same number , both of Ihem desert

ArUona , New Mexico and Indian Territory ,

The enthusiasm was aroused again when
big "Buck" Hlnrlchsen called out Illinois

of Brjun seemed Imminent. There wcic
cries of "Ohio can do It" and John II , Me-
Loan appeared In a chair holding a cane

uHonied to be squabbling ,
"Ohio withdraws thn name of McLean , '
said that gentleman , "and casts forty-six
votes foi Bryan , "
His voice failed to carry many feet , BC
that the dramatic stroke was lost upon the

CLEVELAND , July 10 ( Special Tele
gram ) The democrats of Cleveland , es
pecially the free silver contingent , received
the news of the nomination of Bryan this
afternoon with great enthuslasni and immo-
dialely upon its announcement a volley of
guns were fired from a cannon on the public
square.
There was an Immense crowd and much
enthusiasm. When the announcement was
made on the bulletin boards of the various
Cleveland papers the crowds broke away
cheering. No one scanned the democratic
bulletins closer or more eagerly than Chair
man M , A. Hanna. Western Union mes
sengers were kept on the run bringing the
bulletin sheets. All Friday morning ho did
little else but read bulletins , and It was
a question to' the onlookers In the olllce
whether the way things were going pleased
him. Mr , Hanna has kept a closed mouth
as to any preference ho might have had
H.S to a democratic candidate to run against
McKlnley , saying that he would do his
talking after the democrats nominated
their man. When each succeeding bulletin
brought fresh news of wonderful growing
strength for William J. Bryan , tlje No-
brnskan , Hanna evidenced unusual Intorest.
His face assumed a grave expression
and ho seemed to bu In a brown study ovur
the prospect In vlow of Bryan's nomina
tion. Some of J > lr , Hanaa's matured
plans relative to the executive and advisory
committee will have to bo materially al
tered ,
To the astonishment of those In the of
fice , Chairman Hanna wheeled around his
chair In the early afternoon and turning
to Major Dick said : "I am going to Can
ton to see McKlnley , " It was evident then
that he knew Bryan would be nominated.
And he did , leaving Cleveland via the Val
ley , after leaving special Instructions with
Major Dick to telephone McKlnley that
bo was coming. It Is said that Hanna will
try to Induce John M. Thurston of No-
hraska to rescind his refusal to serve on
the executive committee , as It will bo Im
perative that a member of the committee
bo from Nebraska. Mr. Hanna remained
In conference with Major MoKlnloy several
hours , _ _ _ _ _ _

Whether Senator Allen will como out for
Bryan Is a llvo question with local popu
lists at present. When asked for a utato-
inent of his position last night , the senator
declined to assert himself. Ho said that he
would go as far as to say that the nomina
tion of Mr. Hr > an was very pleasing to him ,
hut politically ho was not In a position to
say whether he would give htm bis support
In reply to further question Senator Allen
said that ho would not say what action
ho would take until after the populUt party
had decided what It would do. While ho

carried the Impression that he would not

fivcry man , woman nnd child who has
over traveled on a railroad train knows the
train boj- , for though ho may bo graj--
lialrcd nnd wear spectacles nnd be wrinkled
10 Is alwnjs train boy to the traveling pub
ic Experience has taught him patience
and ho can almost nlwnjs tell what clasu
of his wares to offer. Ho knows , almost
to n cerlnlnty , to whom he may ofter chow-
ug gum , the life of the James bojs and
Ike lltcinture , to whom he may offer cnm-
mign buttons and badges , to whom he may
sell fruit , who will purchase the lending
magazines and newspapers ; who will buj
the novels of n certain stamp and who will
want Homo of the belter line , although fuvv
levels of the latter class nro ever sold ou
trains.
Iho business of the train boy leads In
the direction of success , says the Chicago
Chronicle There Is no education like thnt
which comes from constant contact with the
traveling public. * The trains cany all t > orts
and conditions of men. Sorao of the most
prosperous business men th this ceun'iy
wore train bojs. To bo n trnlu boy ic-
qulres honesty , quickness , Industry nnd I o-
lltoncss A boy who is nn applicant lei
tills position on the trnlnt ) must be so far
nbove suspicion that he must not live In
a questionable neighborhood where his as
sociates have been uvll. His antecedents
must bo wllhout blemish , his references
emphatic. At the llrsl slep , If ho ho nc-
ccplablc , he must deposit ? 10 with the
company and buy himself a uniform. He
must bo as prompt ns the tialn , und under
till circumstances iuust he be tidy In np-
Dcarnncc.
There are 300 train bojs who leave Chicago
cage and return on the suburban nnd
through trains that depart and arrive dally
from the various stations of the city. The
average run of Ihe Ualn boy Is 300 miles
He has no dajs off. If he loaves In Iho
mornlnc ho returns from the end of his
run on the first train coming back.
SPECULATING IN SIDE LINES.
Travoleis sometimes wonder what can bo
the amount of a train boj's supply. He
makes his trips through the coaches at In
tervals of thirty minutes , and each time he
seems to have something different to offer
Nothing In his Inventory Is sold for less than
a cent nor for more than } 2. Occasionally
a wlde-avvako train Loy will offer something
on his own hook , but It must bo something
thnt will not Interfere with the sale of nnj
article put up for him by the company he
represents As he gets only a commission ,
20 per cent , on what he bells , the companj
allows him the privilege of speculating on his
own responsibility with Ihe piovlso noted ,
and nlwajs with the understanding thai his
own Irnlllc must consist of articles which ,
when purchased , will give no offense or be
deccDtlve.
The other day the passengers on a train
from this city were given a surprise by thu
Iraln boy , who offered them live frogs But
the boy knew his business. Ho knew lhal
most of the passengers on that tialn were
going lo near-by resorls for the purpose of
angling , and that frogs of a certain species
make good halt , and that there were no froijs
where the anglers were going. He made a
rattling sale , with profit , nnd as the Union
News company makes no pretension In Ihe
traffic of llvo things the boy violated no
trust and was so much ahead fn the south
train boys do quite a business Jn selling fish
to the Inhabltanls of Inland lovvns remote
from good fishing. It Is an everyday scene
for people to go to the trains for their fish
Iho finny food being all supplied by Iho on-
Icrprlslng Iraln hojs The frog business ,
however. Is something now on tialns leaving
this city. In this , as In other things , the
train boy must know the chnrnctor of his
passengers if he would meet with success
The trnine In frogs would not bo proninblo
on a through train. The patrons must be
those who leave the city for an oullng where
"flshln1 Is good. "
KEEPING TRACK OF SALES.
The stock of Iho news company Is put up
at the stallon from which the train leaves
by a man specially employed for Ihat pur
pose Every arllclo of a corlaln value
that Is , so many. 1 cent , 2 or 5 , or whatever
the price of the article is inventoried , nnd
put In a big wooden box and Is turned over
to the train boy of train No. . When
the box Is returned the conlenU are checked
up against the original Inventory , the money
accounted for to a penny and the train
boy Is creJltcd with his commission. Ho
Is paid his commission at the end of the
week. The company for which ho works
pajs the railroad company a stipulated sum
per year for the train boy's travel. Tljo
business , In proper hands. Is lucrative , and
from the fact that many of the train boys
have been In Iho service of the company for
twenty years It would appear thai the busi
ness has an clement of contentment and
that the company appreciates good agents
and treats them accordingly. There Is no
Incentive to honest and capable work like
that of appreciation. Disregard of the feel
ings of an employe , nothing hut selfish In
terest In his success , has driven many a good
man out of service when ho might hiivii
made the success of his employers greater
nnd correspondingly enhanced his own. The
Union News company has Increased its busi
ness by appreciating the endeavors of Its-
employes.
Notwithstanding this success the busi
ness Is ono Ihat requires constant vigilance
nnd ripe Judgment. The country Is run
ning over with schemers. It Is a fact that
In many lines the first field which a
Hchemer or speculator soaks In which to
exploit his business Is on the railroad
tralna. It is a great advertising medium
and In that respect It comes cheap Edward
H Walsh , who Is the assistant manager of
the Union News company. In this city , his
jurisdiction extending from Buffalo to
Omaha , and on all roads running Into the
south , has many curious calls from these
speculators
There Is a mania for puzzles. There Is
scarcely a day which docs not witness the
Invention of n now puzzle , and the moment
It Is perfected the Inventor lushes In upon
Mr. Walsh with It and grows eloquent over
Its bewildering propeitlcs.
"And yel. " said Mr , Walsh , "whllo It Is
true that tfio very best class of travel will
look at a puzzle and buy It If there Is any
thing In It , it Is also true Ihat there Is not
ono puzzle in flvo hundred that Is a good
seller. "
A presidential campaign Is productive of
multitudinous Inventions , novelties , traps
and pamphlets. The news of the nomination
of McKlnley was not forty hours old when
a schemer prescnled lo Mr. Walsh , In Ihu
hope that be would purchase , a sample of a
bust of McKlnley , which ho was curtain
would bo bought by every traveler , The
bust was about four feet high , and two and
a half across , and , If there had been any
prospect of It being a seller , to the extent
the schemer slated , Iho Union News com
pany would have had to charter an extra
car for every train that carried out enough
busts to supply the demand
The public has an idea that literary men
and writers for there Is quite a difference
are weighted down with modesty , In this
commercial ago the "d d literary fellor"
has a good deal of the western hustle In his
mako-up , and the moment ho writes a book ,
nnd often bcforo ho undertakes that uncer
tain task , he la } bis claims before the
Union News company , either In Now York ,
to W , II. Williams , 1ho founder and manager
of the company , or to Mr. Walsh , and as
serts with all the assurance of the man who
Invents and presents the puzzle that the
book will spread like a pralrlo fire. And
jet there Is not one book In COO that would
sell with profit on a railroad train Thin
may not bo because the book has no value ,
but because , except In a certain line of liter
ature , the people who buy books to read and
to save , usually supply themselves before
th y leave for travel , But It Is rather
significant that the average author has no
higher idea of hli profession than to believe
it ran attain its loftiest altitude by biting
"pinned" on a rallrond train ntong
chewing gum , whirligigs , bananas , pu zlf |
and figs.

It will devolve , hcvvovcr , upon the people of
