orary secretary.
It was then decided lo go Inlo executive

of ways and means for effective work. Mr.

Mr , Bryan waived the usual prerogative of a
candidate to name the head of the coin-
inltteo and asked lhat the committee handle
these executive affairs entirely as It saw fit.
A recess was taken until 9 o'clock. There
is a feeling that the headquarters during

man of Iho democratic national committee

for some tlmo that ho would bo selected ,
though not n member. When the committee
assembled at 0 o'clock tonight , there was
some discussion as to whether It was the
best policy to complete the organization newer
or at Homo subsequent meeting. It was
finally decided to elect Mr. Jones at once.
The new chairman was called In , and made
a speec.li , saying ho was deeply sensible of
the honor , and accepted the position be-
causa of the Interest ho felt in the cause of
sliver. The members from the gold states
did not generally attend.
Mr. Bryan was present during the greater
portion of the meeting of the committee.
Senator Jones was directed to select an
executive committee of nlno members , of
which ho should bo chairman. Ho eaiil
lie was too tired to make the selection
tonight and was given such tlma as ho de
sired , Ho was also empowered to select
a temporary secretary. It Is underalood
that the former secretary , Mr. P. Sheerln
of Indiana , will bo appointed. The sub
ject of headquarters was discussed , but It
was decided to defer the selection until a

LINCOLN , July 11. ( Special. ) The city of
Lincoln has recovered from Its hysterical
condition of yesterday , caused by the news
of William J. Bryan's nomination for
the presidency. People are now going
soberly about their affairs , but the
display of flags and bunting Is fully as
great and the enthusiasm , though more sub.
ducd , Is still hero In the minds of the busi
ness men of the city. A rumor circulated
this morning to the effect that Omaha was
moving to secure democratic presidential
headquarters and that Mr. Bryan would
remove to that city created no little excite
ment. U Is thought that such a move on
his part would bo a very ungrateful thing
to do after the fiery demonstration , entirely
unpartlsan , of yesterday. It Is more than
likely that the ovation tendered him on his
return next week will excel anything of the
kind cvcr seen In Lincoln.
Nearly all of Urn Lincoln people , not dele
gates , who attended the Chicago convention
have returned home. The democrats are of
course jubilant over their success In landing
Bryan for the nomination. Preparations are
going steadily on for a grand demonstration
when the hero of the Chicago conclave comes
homo. The Bryan silver train will arrive
Sunday.

LINCOLN , July 11. ( Special. ) The pop
ulist county convention to elect twenty-
seven delegates to the Grand Island state
convention , the same delegates lo attend
the Hastings convocation , was called to
order this afternoon at 2 o'clock. There
was a largo icprescntallon and considerable
enthusiasm. Jerome Shamp , who run for
congress on the populist ticket against
Bryan In 1S92 , was elected temporary chair
man. Ho made a speech , In which a ref
erence to W. J. Bryan brought the house
to Its feet. The temporary organization was
made permanent. 0. E. Goodcll precipi
tated a heated discussion .by moving the
appointment of n committee ou .resolutions ,
said resolutions to Incorporate an endorse
ment of Mr. Bryan for the presidency. He
asserted that It would be a bad thing for
11 lo go out over the country thai the pop-
ullsls were not In favor of Bryan. E. C.
Rcwlck , I. N. Leonard , "R.aUimal'.cr" Wright
and several others opposed 'this move. Some
of them said they were as much in favor
of Mr. Bryan as anybody could be , bill It
was not proper for a county convention to
antlclpale Iho action of the stale convention.
As one delegate expressed It afterward , It
was not the thing to "give the snap away. "
After considerable eloquence the motion of
Dclegale Goodcll to appoint a committee on
resolutions prevailed , and Chairman Shamp
appointed a committee lo'jdraft the same.
When they returned Into Ihe hall they
laid a production before the convention , of
which the following Is a synopsis !
The platform rrlilllrms the Omnlia plat
form , congratulates Allen for his manly
light In the senate for Iho common people
and Ihe citizens of Nebraska , commends
the wl.se and cltlclent administration of
Governor Holcomb , who protcclrd the
treasury from looting and declare It to be
the best administration the state ban ever
had. They nlHo congratulate the honest
lepubllcuiiH who left the parly at St. Louis
for the sake of principle , and extended the
right hand of fellowship to them.
The following was also adopted :
We heartily concratululo Ihe counlry
In fienernl , and Lancaster county In partic
ular , on the nomination by the democratic
party of our Illustrious fellow-citizen , Wil
liam J. liryan , for the exalted position of
president of the United States. Ills noml-
rallon Is bul a Just recognition of his abil
ity and Integrity and his faithful iind earn
est labor In the cause of the common pee
ple.
ple.A
A large portion of the session was spent
In wrangling over endorsements for state
and congressional offices. A. C. Barge and
J. II. McNcrny wanted the endorsement for
congressman from the First district. J. V.
Wolfe and A. K. Goodell were out after
endorsements for land commissioner. No
endorsement was made , however , for any
ofilce , but each candidate claims delegates.
The convenllon appeared to recognize Iho
rlghl lo name the delegates-at-largc to St.
Louis and It was the sense of the meeting
lhat Governor Holcomb , J. A. Edgerton ,
Senator William V. Allen and D. Clem
Deavcr bo selected as delegales-at-large. It
was stated tonight that Governor Holcomb
Is pledged to work for the endorsement of

In the ranks of populism at their

ticularly In the appointments for the Insti

Institute faction , while W. P. Morau lead the
antls. Nearly the whole forenoon was spent
In selecting a temporary chairman and sec
retary. Personalities were frequently In
dulged In and bribery and corruption
charged. Ono man was accused of Felling
out the Independent party. The object of
the convention was to select delegates to

Dr. Corricker , was elected from the Insti
tute faction. The delegates were the follow

vcntlon met today , the , attendance beliiR
smaller than usual. Prof. Beal of Fair *

the democratic administration , the repub
lican party and Congressman Andrews.
Fusion with all silver forces by the St. Louis ,
convention was adopted and by the amount
f praise bebtowed upon W. J. Bryan would
favor his endorsement at St. Louis , although
a resolution to that effect was carefully
omitted , as a number of delegates did not
favor fusion with either of the old parties.
The delegates elected to the different con
ventions are unlnstrucled , but are said to
favor Holcomb for governor and the defeat
of Marsh Elder for congress. County Super
intendent Graham addressed the conven
tion , bestowing many compliments upon Mr.
Bryan and favoring his endorsement by the

BRYAN RETURNS NEXT WEEK
Intends to Spend Sunday nt His Oltl Homo
in Illinois ,
NO DEFINITE PLANS FOR A RECEPTION

f r. < t III Oiniiliii ,
A number of Nebraska democrats re
turned from the Chicago convention
yesterday morning , still wearing broad
smiles at the victory and honor
won by the eloquent champion of free sil
ver. Among the number was Gilbert M.
Hitchcock , who stood close to Mr. Bryan
since the opening of the convention , as ho
had before thai event.
To a Bee reporter Mr. Hitchcock yester
day morning said : "I do not know Mr.
Bryan's plans for the Immediate future.
I had only time lo bid him
goodbye Friday evening , as I hur
riedly lefl for my Iraln. When I left ho was
surrounded by a surging , shouting crowd of
enthusiastic admirers , and the presence of
n number of policemen was necessary to
handle the crowd. "
I think Mr. Bryan will return to Omaha
some tlmo about the middle of next week.
IIo and Mrs. liryan will go from Chicago
to their old homo at Salem , III. The chil
dren aru there , and 1 presume lhat Mr.
Bryan will spend Sunday then : . So far as I
know , no definite plans have been made for a
reception on Mr. Bryan's arrival hero , but
Ihcro will undoubtedly be one. Both Iho
Ihealers have tendered the use of their
houses for such a reception and I presume
lhat Mr. Bryan will be given a Hearty wel
come. "
Concerning the convention and Its work ,
Mr. Hitchcock said thai allhough none ot
Ihe members of the. Nebraska delegation had
had any experience In such work In national
conventions they all had worked with a
western enthusiasm thai counted for u great
deal. He said at no time were there plans
for more than llflecn minutes ahead and
lhat the whole work was Ilko that of pri
vates , Ihero being no commamlinj ; general.
Thcro were present as spectalors a number
of populists from Nebraska and South Da
kota and their work helped to bring about
the result. They worked among the delegates
assuring them that Mr. Bryan would receive
the support of the populists.
One of the questions that was most earn
estly and most frequently discussed about
Omaha Friday afternoon and yester
day morning was whether Mr. Bryan
would make his headquarters In this
city or Lincoln. All the local
business men and the hotel men
especially arc desirous lhat Ihe hcudquarlern
shall be here. The reason IB lee apparent
lo be pointed out. Concerning this mailer Mr.
Hitchcock said yesterday morning that Mr.
Bryan might make his personal headquarters
ut his homo In Lincoln , with his olllclal
headquarters In this city. Another Omaha
man who has been Intimately associated with'
the democratic nominee said that he felt quite
certain lhat Omaha would be Bryan's prin
cipal place of business throughout the cam
paign. The superior railroad facilities , ho
argued , would go a long way toward decid
ing the matter.
All the railroad men were happy
yesterday morning over the nom
ination of Iho Ncbraakan. They are
all preparing lo handle Iho largo
crowds lhat are expected to come lo Omaha
during' the campaign to pay their respecls lo
Iho nominee. General Passenger Agent
Francis of the II. & M. said
that ho had already received a number of
queries about special trains to Lincoln In the
event that Mr. Bryan should establish bin
headquarters there , The news that It waa
probable that there would be no formal vlt.lt
from a committee to notify the candldalo oC
his nomination was not received very enthu
siastically by the railroaders. They were
expecting thousands of free sllvcrltes to ac
company the committee on that occasion.

CHICAGO , July 11. Chairman William P.
Hnrrlty of the democratic national com
mittee was asked for an expression of opinion
regarding the democratic ticket. In reply ho
said : "I have no statement to make or opin
ion to express at this time as to the plat
form or candldalo , nor Is It likely that I
will have any to make or express In the
near future. I shall remain In Chicago for-
a couple of days In order to assist In clos

charge of the arrangements of the conven
tion , after which I shall go homo and take-
