It Is doubtful If this quiet little town ever before allowed Its enthusiasm to bubble over to such an extent as it did today. The scorchlnK July sun had scarcely nppenrcd nboye the h'Srlzon when the town wns shaken by n thunderous cannonading of anvils , which were fired off nt regular Intervals from sunrise until noon- Oay. This discharge of blacksmith's ar tillery nrouscd the people to nn jinusual Btato ot activity cnrly In the day. " Vngons loaded With fnrmcrs from the surrounding country began to nrrlve nlinost nt daylight nnd by noonday the hltchlngrackB around the business center of the town and all the lecdynrds nnd livery stnbles were crowded. And they enme In on excursion trains from neighboring towns and adjoining counties to take , part in the great celebration to be glvcnhcre this afternoon nnd evening In honor of William J. Brynn , the democratic nominee for president , who thirty-six years ngo first saw the light of day In this sleepy , quiet , old country town. In response to the proclamation Issued by the mayor yes terday all the buildings In the city were abundantly decorated with flags nnd bunt ing nnd the portrait of the distinguished citizen of Salem. And nearly all the dwelling houses were decorated with patri otic emblems and flowers , nnd sprigs of ever green. At the corners of nil the principal streets enterprising citizens had erected lemonade stands and Ice cream booths , which luxuries they dispensed to the sweltering multitude at G cents a drink and 10 cents n dish. Nearly all the vehicles that ran through the streets were adorned with stars nnd stripes and some of the more enthusi astic drivers of teams dragged out from the dust nnd corners of the barns strings of old sleigh bells that have hung there since the last snow melted away and fastened them to the horses. The merry tinkle of these bells In the scorching rays of the hot July sun was a cruel reminder of the cold bracing air In which they originally were Intended to bo used. The women of the town and the surrounding country , and there are many of them and nearly nil of them nre handsome , displayed their loyalty for the presidential nominee by appearing In white dresses today with red or blue sashes nnd white cnps , and over the visor of ench wns printed In stiver letters "Wil liam J. Ilrvan. " People began to gather In the court house square , where n big stnnd hnd been erected for the speakers nt the celebrations , full two hours before the demonstration was to begin. The grcnt elm nnd npple trees which surround the court house hnd , like the other trees of the town , been freshly whitewashed nnd they were decorated In addition with bunting nnd flags. H was in this court house that Mr. Bryan years ngo mndo his first political speech and It was In this court house that his father for twelve years presided over the circuit court. On the platform along with the speakers who hnd been Invited from nil over the stnte to come nnd participate in the rejoicing of the people of Salem were the mayor nnd council of the city nnd other distinguished citizens. Hon. F. M. Kngy , who graduated In the same class with Mr. Brynn nt Illi nois college , Jacksonville , presided at the meeting. RAIN SPOILS THE FUN. While the hundreds of people who hnd come here from nil over this part of the stntc to attend the Brynn celebration were assembling in the court house yard a big black cloud loomed up In the northwest. It approached with frightful rapidity. There were terrific peals of thunder nnd there wns n scattering of people In every direction to get out of the fast approaching ( rain. Many of the people became panic-stricken , as they still had an unpleasant recollection of the awful cyclone which passed through this re gion n few weeks ago when St. Louis wns almost ruined. Mnny of the teams brought to town by fnrmers becnme frightened and tried to break from the hitching racks about the square , so that for a time It looked as If a general stampede would result. At length the rain broke and It. came down In torrents. All the while there was a con tinuous flashing of lightning , followed by nn uproarious booming of thunder. In the space of ten minutes the bunting , flags and draplngs of buildings , which hnd looked so attractive In the morning , were bedraggled nnd nlinost ruined. As the storm continued the darkness Incrcnscd un til It wns nlinost Impossible to see across the streets , nnd In the houses lights became necessary. When It hnd mined for nlmottt fifteen minutes the storm seemed to change Its course. H swept around to the north of the town , but the rain continued to fall. In less than half an hour the storm seemed to have spent Itself nnd It settled down for a steady rnln. It was an ordinary thunder storm , hut of unusual violence , nnd owing to the darkness It caused a great deal of alarm. County Central Coinmlttecman Samuel J. Smith , wlni has had charge of the arrange ments of the celebration , said that if the rnln did not stop the speeches would be mndo In the court house. It wns after 1 o'clock when the rain ceased. Then the crowds came out from the stores , taverns and other places of shelter ami again began to gather beneath the trees in the court house yard. The numerous country hands that had come from the neigh boring towns with Bryan clubs began to play r.ucli Inspiring airs as "White Wings , " "Com rades , " "Marching Through Georgia" and "Dixie. " The bustle and excitement that prevailed in the early morning was re newed. Bryan banners were everywhere By this time the number of people packed in the court house yard had Increased until nt least 3,000 people were there , Half a dozen bands were scattered about , all playIng - Ing at once , ALTOELD DOES NOT APPEAR. Although Governor Altgeld had been ad vertised to speak , he did not appear. This afternoon word was received that the gov ernor's health was such that he could not come. He wns grently exhausted after the Chicago convention and has not yet fully recovered. At 2:15 : It was announced that the distin guished "Son of Salem" was approaching. All Iho bands started In afresh and the riowd shouted Ilko madmen. This was kept up until Mr. and Mrs. Bryan wcro seated on the platform. When ijulet was restored , Rev. F. B. Young of the Methodist Episcopal church prayed for the blessing of the God of Washington , Jefferson , Jackson and Lin coln. coln.After After the usual preliminaries Mr. Bryan was presented to the audience amid up roarious applause. During the course of his remarks , Mr. Bryan said : I hnvo no disposition to talk politics to day. Returning to the scenes which curl - l omul my cnrly homo the memories of other days crowd out nil thoughts of sub jects upon which wo mny differ. I romvni- lier with such grateful appreciation the kindly feeling which has abounded , regard less of church and party lines , that I shall not say ono word to divide upon any sub- loot those who nro assembled hero today This Is the home of myirt \ \ \ of my boy hood and my early manhood.

I cannot forpot this home nor these people. And I can pay no more today than to express In words the deep nnd heartfelt thanks for these tokens , these manifestations of good will. WHKIIK ALL AdUKK. There Is nn Ideal plane In politics and 1 hf'lleve we stand upon It here todny. \ \ c differ In opinion.Ve differ ns to party policies. Hut wo meet today recognizing those differences nnd yet each feeling n charity toward each other. Wo are nil 1m- tined with the same spirit. We all possess Iho same nmbltlon. We are all living to curry out the fame great purpose.o want n Government of the people , by the people and for the people , nnd though wo differ ni to the mcnns or carrying It out wo can dlf- for us honest citizens differing In Judgment and agreeing In purpose. I thank the re publicans who have nssembled hero. I thank the prohibitionists. I thank the pop ulism as much ns 1 do the domocrnts , bo- cnuse nt last , my friends , when these iUes- | tlons which arise from tlmu to time upon the mirfacc and disturb the thought and agitate the people have passed nway , wo all agree In these great fundamental prin ciples which underlie our form of govern ment. We believe that nil men were cre ated equal , not that they nro equal In tal ents or In virtues or In merits , but we agree In this , that wherever government comes In contact with the. citizen nnd wherever the citizen touches government nil must stand equal before the law. Wo ngrco that gov ernment can be no respecter of persons and thitjf * Its strength , Its matchless stiength , must be the protector of the for tunes of the great and the possessions of the poor , and that It shall stand an Im partial arbiter between all of Its citizens. We must agree on this. We agree that there are Inalienable rlghttfc the rights which government did not giro , rights which gov ernment cannot lake nwnv. We all agree that governments are Instituted to Insure nnd preserve those rights , and we agree that t'ovornnients derive their Just powers from the consent of the governed. We know lid divine right of kings. The people gathered hero and In assemblages like this nil over thl.s broad land are the sovereign source of nil power. These citizens nro the substantial foundation upon whlcbc rests our form of government. And whiff our citizens appreciate the responsibilities of citizenship nnd strive each In his own way nnd according to his best Judgment to bring civilization to higher ground and make the government each yenr n more flt expres sion of the virtue of the people , ns Ion ; ; ns this Is desired by all we can agree In the fundamental principles , though we may differ In those minor points which sepa rate us. H wns here I received my first Instruc tions In democrncy. I do not use It as n party name. I menu It In n broader sense , that democrncy that recognizes the brotherhood of man. H was here 1 learned the truth of the poet's language : "Honor nnd fame from no condition rlso. " The clcthes do not make the man and we all hut contribute to the nation's greatness , and all who have the good of their country at heart. It matters not what their station In life , what their ancestry , what their surroundings , n'l those stand upon com mon ground and all nrc citizensAn , ( - plnuse. ) * It wns hero , too , that I lonrncd that free dom must go hand In hand In a broad de mocracy with freedom of conscience. Every man has n right to worship God accord ing to the dictate ! ) of his own conscience and no government like ours can attempt to dletnto how n man shall serve or wor ship his God. ( Great applause. ) NO OBSTACLES TOO CHEAT. These are basic principles , upon which have been roared the greatest nations known to history- am a believer In the progress of the nice. Tnlk not to mo about crises through which we cannot vass ; toll mo not of dangers that will not be over thrown , obstacles too great to bo over come. Wo know none such. A brave. 11 heroic , n patriotic people will be ready to nleot every emergency as It nrisos. Each generation Is capable of self-government nnd I believe each generation will bo more capable under our Institutions than the generation which went before. Abraham Lincoln , in that greatest of his speeches , said we had nn unllnlshe.il work. Every generation receives from the preceding generation nn unfinished work. The works of men arc Imperfect. Wo shall Inbor on from age to ngo. We shall not roach per- Icctlon , but If wo do our duty wo shall leave the world better than It was when we entered It nnd every generation will en joy the blessings bequeathed from the generations passed. My friends , with such a gathering hero , and not here alone , but throughout the entire lutul , from the At lantic to the Pacific nnd from the lakes to the gulf , a people such ns these , a na tion can look with absolute confidence for that wisdom , that Intelligence , that patriotIsm - Ism and that courage to moot every hour of danger. ( Enthusiastic applause. ) Hut I must not talk to you. Permit me ngnln nnd again to thank you for what you have done for me , for the words that you have spoken and the kindly exores- slons which I see on every face. We know not now what mny be the result of this campaign. We shall go forth and do our duty as wo see it. liut what shnll bo the result cannot be known until the votes are counted. Hut no matter what the result Is ; whether this campaign results In my election or my defeat , time cannot rob me of the delightful recollection of the con fidence and love of these , the citizens of my boyhood days. Several times during the speech Mr. Bryan showed by the huskiness of his voice that he was deeply moved. Many of the former neighbors and friends frequently ap plied their handkerchiefs to their eyes. When the applause following had ended , Mrs. Hryan was Introduced and came for ward amidst loud cheers and bowed. Francis M , Youngblood of Carbondale also delivered an address , speaking in favor of free silver. He was frequently Interrupted by applause , especially in that portion where he eulogized Mr. Uryan. When he had ceased to talk the crowd cheered , the bands played and the meeting was adjourned. It thieatcned rain In the evening and the crowd at the night meeting was not as largo as It otherwise would have been. The bands were out , however , and there was a display of fireworks. L. M. Kagy , who presided , upon calling the meeting to order , announced that Nebraska populists had en dorsed Ilryan for president. This caused great applause. . ONE LKVEH OP REFORM. Mr. Hryan , In the course of his remarks. Wo have como upon times of great aplta- tlon and there are some who aru quick to condemn the agitators , but. my friends , agitation Is the only means In a country Ilko ours through which redress can bo obtained , They say those who preach re form are stirring up discontent. I remind you that discontent lies nt the foundation of nil progress. Those who aru entirely sat isfied never desire anything better. If our forefathers had been content wo would to day be under British rule. ( Applause and cheering. ) It Is only becnusu they were not satisfied at all that they became free and Independent , that wo have the govern ment which we have today. And so when a question Is raised wo ought not to do- nouncu Iho mull who raises It id an agi tator. Wo should simply Inquire : "is the proposition which ho presents a right one ? " Ixt ! mo beg of you lo give can-fill and just consideration to Iho Issues of this campaign. Tnko the conditions us tht > y are , lake thu remedies proposed and then see If thu remedies arc real remedies and If they will Improve thu condition of the body politic. Every reform that Is good , every reform that will hotter the condition of the masses is u reform that bhoulil re ceive the support of every voter of this country. Let mo Just say one word. 1 be- llevo It was mild of Lincoln , or It Is Lin coln who Is reported aa saying , when a man asked him whether ho thought thu Lord wan on his side , hi- said ho was more anxious to be on the Lord's s'de. ( App'ausc. ) That was simply one way of expressing a great truth , and that Is that right will prevail. Ah. my friends , If there Is ono truth taught by C.OOO years of human his tory It Is that truth Is omnipotent and truth alone will prevail. You may impede Its progress , you may delay Its course , but after a while truth will show Its liicslst- Iblo power nnd those who stand In lt way will be crushed beneath It. You iibk mo If thi'Bo ri'foritiK which wo advocate will bo accomplished. I say If they nro right liny will bo accomplished. If they are wrong w ought not to desire their accom plishment. Wo who believe that they arc light can only go forth doing what we can , giving such Impulse to them as we uio .iblo to and then trut > t to the righteousness - ness of our causi to prevail ovi-r those who oppose us. I ihniik you for your kind at tention , ( Enthusiastic applause and clu-rrti. ) Several local campaign orators , among whom were Congressman Williams , who was ( .Continued on Becoctf Pagt. ) WOMEN TARE TO POLITICS Special Train Takes a largo Party from Cleveland to Oantou.

Despite n blinding rainstorm , 600 representative women of Cleveland came to Canton this morning , ar riving here at 11:45. : They were headed by a splendid woman's brass band and were met by a committee of Canton women. Fortunately as their train tcached Canton the sun broke through the clouds , and , formIng - Ing In columns of two , they marched to the McKlnley home. There thousands of people blocked the streets and surged through the grounds In great confusion. When quiet was restored Mrs. Elroy M. Avery In a very eloquent address presented Major McKlnley. Mrs. Avcry said In part : "We come from Cleveland Cleveland , the beautiful Cleve land , that still lives , the Queen City of the lower lakes , the great heart of the Western Reserve that gave Glddlngs , Wade and Garfield - field to the nation ; n city of great American Industries that are suffering from unanierl- can legislation ; an unfortified city on the border , facing the Canadian shore , nnd yet recognizing that the best protection against foreign aggression Is a protective tariff. Coining from a city of a hundred years , to day we turn nsldo from our centennial to do homage to the man who best represents this great American Idea , under the foster ing care of which we hope Cleveland will gloriously flourish and bravely celebrate 1-er second hundredth year. "Wo come to greet you , not as politicians , but as women , as wives and mothers nml sisters. We may not fully appreciate manmade - made political platforms , but we better un derstand the significance of current events than some folks glvo us credit for. We know that when you enter nt the door of the white house peace nnd comfort will enter nt our doors ; that when you iccelvo your heritage by the/CWccrce of a grateful people our husbands and fathers will receive the fruits of their Industry and the heart of the wife and mother will be made glad. "Among men your name stands as n synonym for protection to American In dustry , It stands for sound money nnd reciprocity , for freedom from ocean to ocean. Among women it stands for more than that It stands for protection for Mio nome. It stands for right thinking and light I'vlng. It stands for tenderness to mothers und for the love to wife , for all that 'unices the American home the dearest spot in earth. " M'KINLEY RECIPROCATES. Governor McKlnley , after the cerbmnny of waving handkerchiefs and parasols and haml-clapplng , paid : "I greatly appreciate this friendly call from the women of the city of Cleveland and assure you that I do not undervalue the gracious message of congratulation and con fidence which you have so eloquently deliv ered. It Is an assurance of the deep Inter est which you feel and which should be felt by nearly every fnmlly In the land In the public questions of the duy and th'elr rightful settlement at the polls. There Is no limitation to the Influence that may bo exerted by women In the United States and no adequate tribute can be spoken of their services to mankind throughout this eventful history. In the distant period ot its settlement , In the days of the revolu tion , In the trials ot western pioneer life , during the more recent days of pur civil war , and , indeed , in every step of o\n progress as a nation the devotion and sacri fices of woman were constantly apparent and often conspicuous. ( Applause and cheers. ) She was evervwhere appreelnted and recognized , though God alone could nlncc her service nt Its true value. "Tho work of woman hns been n power In every emergency nnd nlwnys for good. In calamity and distress she has ever been helpful and heroic. Not only have some of thu brightest pagen of our national history been Illuminated by her splendid example and noble efforts for the public good , but her Influence In the home , the church , the school and the community In molding char acter for every profession and duty to which our race Is called has been potential and sublime. It Is In the quiet and peaceful wnlks of life where her power Is greatest and most beneficial. One of the tendcrest passages to me In the works of John Stuart Mill beautifully expresses this thought. It Is recorded In his autobiography when he paused to pay high and deserved tribute to his wife , of whom he could not speak too much. He cays : 'She was not only the author of many of the best things I did , but she Inspired every good thing 1 did. ' Many men there are from whom frankness would not wlthho'd ' but command Ilko expression of obligation to woman , wife , mother , sister , friends. ( Great npplause. ) "One ot the best things of our civilization in America Is the constant advancement of women to a higher plane of labor and re sponsibility. The opportunities for her arc greater than ever before. This Is singu larly true where practically every avenue of human endeavor Is open to her. Her Im press Is felt In art , science , literature , sang and In government. Our churches , our schools , our charities , our professions and our general business Interests arc more than ever each year directed by her. Re spect for womankind lies become with us a national characteristic ; and what a high and manly trail It Is ; none nobler or holler. It stamps the true gentleman. "Tho man who lives with wife anil mother end homo will respect and reverence all womankind. Ho Is always the better citi zen for such gentle breeding. The homo over which the trusted wife presides Is the citadel of our strength , the best guaranty of good citizenship , and sound morals in government. U Is at the foundation upon It all else Is constructed. From the plain American home where virtue dwells , and truth abides , go forth the men and women who make the greatest states and cities which adorn our republic , which main tain law and order , that citizenship which aims at the public welfare , the common good of all. "Some one has said that 'Women mold the future as mothers and govern the pres ent as wives. ' I congratulate you upon what women have done for grand and noble objects In the pact. I rejoice with you at the wliler and broader field of the present and the splendid vista of the future , which is everywhere opening up for you. "I again thank you for your presence here and for this manifestation of your regard and good will. Mrs. MeKlnley and I will be most happy to meet and greet you one and all. " The women , led by Mrs. Scott , sang a campaign song , accompanied by the band , and then Miss Blrdello Swltztr presented Mrs. McKlnley with an enormous basket of flowers. During the afternoon the women had a ratification meeting at the tabernacle , with lunch , music and impromptu speeches. Ilryan ( "lull utVulioo. . \VAHOO , Neb. , July 15.

For the first time In many years the republican state convention met with rainy weather. The dampness , however , appeared to have little effect on the assembled politicians who were out early In largo numbers. Caucuses wcro held In nine out of the eleven con gressional districts , and members of the usual committees were named. Rollln J. Wilson , who was selected as tern , pornry chairman , was overcome by the heat yesterday , and was unable to preside. Con gressman Hepburn was selected to fill the place. He made a strong speech In line with the platform. Hon. Smith McPherson of Red Oak was chosen permanent chairman. The remainder of the temporary organlzntlon wns continued. Tluro wns fear In some quarters thnt Hcp- htlin would make n silver speech , but he stool strongly on the St. Louis platform de claring It meant no change. A platform had been written by George E. Roberts of Fort Dodge , author of a "Reply to Coin , " but this was turned down by the committee and n subcommittee was directed to prepare a simple endorsement of the St. Louis platform. The convention was remarkable In point of attendance and Interest. Atnoni ; the dis tinguished men present were Senators Alli son and Gear and nearly all the Iowa con gressmen. Senator Allison's speech , which warmly commended Major McKlnlcy and sustained the St. Louis platform , was the real point of Interest. The senator spoke with much more than usual warmth , and when he pointed to the picture of the Ohio man the convention went wild with ap plause. The platform , after endorsing the plat form of the St. Louis convention , says on the financial Issue : In the Interest of our export trade , for the furtherance of the policy of reciprocity and for the promotion of our commerci1 , us well its for the benefit of our silver ] ro- ducern , we pledge the support of the lowti republicans In congress to Iho promotion of nn lnter"nlloniil iigroeinent to establish the joint stundnrd universally ii"l from the same consideration to oppose .1 uh.inpe lethe the sjnge ! silver manilnnl , lijeiuise It will decrease and not Increase the suppiy of money In the country , because hum.I uf restoring confidence It will destroy credits Instorfd of Inspiring out Mnr'.iu it will ipn.i'l ularm ; Instead of uldlng the dtht < r It will Involve him In bankruptcy ; Instead of fur nishing employment to labor It will make jnqrc uncertain and unrcmunoratlve thnt which It hits/ / Instead of bcnentlng the pro ducer. } It will Injure them , nnd finally be cause It will do Infinite Inltistlce and In volve our country In repudiation and dis honor. The republican party under Its policy assures the people ample currency , composed of gold , silver and paper , no one kind preferable to another , none of It sub ject | n the hands of the people to variation of value , but every dollar IIH good as golil and there held by the real power of thi government of the United States. The ticket nominated Is as follows : Elec- tora-nt-lnrge , R. II. Conger , DCS Molnes ; Eldrcd S. James. Clinton ; secretary of state , M. L. Dobson , DCS Molnes ; auditor , C. G.

Sheldon ; railroad comnilss'ioner , E. A. Dawson - son , Waverly. The "lomlnatlons were all made unanimously and the platform was adopted .vlthout a dissenting vote. It Is noteworthy that In the whole convention there was not a voice raised against the St. Louis platform and nominations. The republican state committee reorgan ized tonight after the state convention , and H. G. McMillan was elected chairman. IUIYAX IS C.MlV ( ( ! TO O.M.MIA. Itoci'pt Ion Is to Ho 'IVmlorfMl Some Time Xfxt WCM-IJ. Whether there will be anything like a full representation of Douglas county democrats In attendance at the reception which Is to be given to W. J. Bryan at Lincoln Friday night I ? doubtful. There will bo no organ ized delegation to the Capital city and the attendance from Omaha will be limited to such democrats as may go on their Indi vidual responsibility. The main reason for this is the fact that the local free sliver democrats propose to give Mr. Bryan a re ception themselves some evening next week nnd they naturally give first plffco to the local jubilation. The arrangements for the Omaha reception have been mainly left to G. M. Hitchcock , but a meeting has been called at the Paxton hotel cafe for Thursday evening and it Is expected that the duto and other details will bo arranged at that time , MAV XOT I3VU.V ( JUT OX TUB TICKI3T Hryim nml Si-wiill Mod nllh u Scrlim.s nifllc.in.v In x.tv York.

The four presi dential electors are democrats , nnd one rnll- road commissioner Is a bolting republican. The fight of the convention was on adopting n resolution Instructing delegates to St. Louis to use all honorable mentis to unite the populists In support of W. J. Brynn for president. For three hours the convention fought over this resolution before the vote adopting the report wns tnken.

All the members of the national republican committee were present this morning when Chairman Hanna called the meeting to order for the purpose of organizing and to formally open the re publican campaign. The committee was In session behind closed doors until long after noon. The most Important question con sidered was the location of the national headquarters. Ten clays ngo It was gener ally conceded that , all Indications pointed to the headquarters remaining In New York , but within the last two or three days a decided change In sentiment has developed , not only among the members of the com mittee , but throughout Hie country as well , against New York. At least one-half of Mr. Hnnna's mall for the past week consisted of communications from prominent politi cians protesting against the headquarters be ing located In New York In the midst of the strife of the Empire state factions. The committee decided to locate head quarters In both New York and Chicago. There will be no discrimination bctwein the two cities by soUctlng either ns the headquarters. Chairman Hanna saya he will be located nowhere , but will fight the cam paign In the saddle. ' Two vacancies 011 the national committee wcro filled by appointment of Myron P.

The members of tnc committee , wlh the exception of Senator Quay , who left for home this afternoon , dined with Ml. ll.inna this evening. They wll ! resume their ics slon at 10 In the evening.

MacColI tonight were perfected at the meeting of the Young Republicans' Thurston club last evening. The reports of the various committees that have charge of the matter were accepted and It was decided that the club should go in a body to the union depot to welcome the guest of the evening. The members will meet at their quarters In the Patterson block promptly at 7 o'clock and go to the depot In carriages. They will then accom pany Mr. ilacColl to the city hall where the reception will be held. A committee of women will be selected to assist the recep tion committee by pinning the badges on the guests at the city hall. The only other business transacted was the purchase of n largo photograph of Major McKlnley , which Will be handsomely framed and occupy n conspicuous position In the club quarters. The reception will ho the practical opening of the state campaign In Douglas county and the Indications are that the affair will surpass the original plans of its progenitors. The reception will be held In the commodious rotunda of the city hall , and , JudgSr.s by the Interest that has been manifested , it will be one of the largest receptions ever given to a dis tinguished guest In Omaha. The various committees of the Thurston club have worked out all details and the members have taken hold of the arrangements with an enthusiasm that has left nothing lacking. The city hall will bo elaborately decorated and music will bo furnished by an orchestra of ten pieces. The exercises will bocry brief In deference to the immense crowd that Is expected to greet the next governor ana thus Mr. MncColl will bo given an op- poitunlty to meet all present. A short nd- dress will be delivered by Senator John M. Thurston , to which Mr. MacColI will reply , and the remainder of the evening will ho devoted to the leceptlon proper. The Thurnton club desires It to bo fully understood that the Invitation to the public Is unrestricted. Owing ( o the limited time it has been impossible to send out personal Invitations , except to various local org.inlzn- tlons and to prominent republicans from other parts of the state. But the people of Omnlin nre expected to come out In full force without regard to age , sex , politics or color. The reception is to he a popular affair In the fullest eenso qf the word and to that extent it will bo non-polltlcnl. I'l.KIHJHS SfPI'OHT TO .M'ICIM.IiY.

( Spe cial. ) The populists were astir early this morning , the lobby of the Koehtcr bcliiK crowded with groups of men discussing va rious questions of this nnd succeeding con ventions. There seemed to be n slight rhnngo In sentiment ns to the Instructions. Mnturcr deliberations seem to hnve Im pressed n portion of the Bryanltcs that they will not nccessnrlly hnvo to Instruct the delegation to St. Louis In order , to do the most effective work In belmlf of "Brynn. The belief that nn unlnstructcd delrgntlon to St. Louis will hnve the same beneficial re sult to Bryan and will bo nblo to work In his behalf to better ndvnntngo seems to cover more ground than It held ycstordny. The nssortlons of the nilddlo-of-tho-road op position that upon the arrival of the eastern men their fences would be materially strengthened have not been realized , and It Is now believed that 80 per cent of the dele gates are in favor of Bryan's nomination. It was circulated last night that D. Clem Denver nnd his forces from Oninha would oppose anything of a Bryancso nature. Denver has arrived nnd burstid the bubble In short order. Dan Burr of South Omaha Is still working hard against the adoption of Brynn resolutions. It wns rumored thnt Senator Allen wns se cretly opposed lo the endorsement of Bryan and would rather see a straight pnrty fight , but this rumor Is practically denied by hla friends , who state thnt the senator docs not dcslro to take any prominent position lu the matter , such n course being dlctnted by discretion. OPENED WITH PRAYER. The convention wns cnlled to order at 2 o'clock this afternoon at the opera house , which sents 700 on the floor of the house alone. The gallery wns reserved for the public , the stage for officers , distinguished , visitors and the prcrs. Chnlrmnn Edgcrlon cnlled on Rev. Mr. Jordnn for Divine Invocation. Mnyor Thomp son then welcomed the delegates to the city , where two years ago the present gov ernor was notnlnntcd. His address was fre quently Interrupted | iy enthusiastic ap plause. W. L. Greene responded In belmlf of the convention. D. Clem Denver was then unanimously chosen temporary chair man. George R Corcoran , B. R. Carpenter. J. L. Clallln and B. S. Allen of Cass wcro made secretaries. The list of delegates , as prepared by the state central committee , waa cdopted , after which the list of counties nml representation wns rend , doing away with , the credentials committee. A committee ot five were appointed on permanent organiza tion. It recommended General P. H. Barry for chairman and the temporary secretaries as permanent. The fight that has held all the antl-con- vcntlon Interest came about In a rather unexpected manner. While the committee on permanent organization wns out a. tele gram was received -from the populist con vention of South Dakota , sending greetings to the populists of Nebraska. The telegram was received with cheers and n motion wna promptly made nnd hurriedly carried that the secretary reply , returning greetings. Senator Allen moved that the reply should present the compliments of the Nebraska populists and say they are for Bryan fop the next president. He then made his posi tion very plain and made no effort to con ceal the fact that he was for the endorse ment of the democratic candidate , first , last and always. BILL DECH'S GREAT FIGHT. William Dcch was on his feet In a mo ment. "I hope this convention will be manly enough " but that is all the further ho got. There were loud and continuous cries of "Question , " "Question , " "Sit down , " "Put him out , " etc. , but Dcch did not sit down. Ho was assisted by others of the conven tion , who gave warning that the convention could not bullyrag any one. He was finally heard and Insisted that the convention could not now say what delegates wcro to say when they came to St. Louis , especially not before It had permanently organized. Senator Allen was at this tlmo Induced to withdraw his motion until after the conven tion had permanently organized. He then renewed It. Deeh again remonstrated , urg ing the convention to he careful to act In ac cordance with the principles of the party as founded , as early as I860 , with such men an Peter Cooper. He was nlinost alone , how ever , In his objection. He demanded a call of the roll. Senator Allen urged that the action pro posed would tend to perpetuate the party and not to disintegrate It. He maintained that the republican party would from now on do all in Its power to split up the power of Its opposition. The roll was called after considerable de lay. Douglas county's vote wns polled upon demand of Dan Burr. The result was CSS for Allen's motion to send the telegram nnd 34 against. A motion was then made that the vote In fnvor of Bryan be made unanimous. Dcch Immediately arose , urging the chairman not to put the motion. Senator Allen suggested that If Dcch , after seeing such a majority In favor of Ilrjan , still held out against the motion , the motion to make unanimous should be withdrawn , and the maker with drew It. | SPRHCHER ALSO HAS A SAY. The committee on penrinncnt organization hnd recommended thnt the order of bust- ne. s bo calling the roll of congressional districts , thess replying by presenting the names of delegates selected by them at their various cnucnuses held this morning. Here another wrangle , which consumed nl- most two hours , arose. Senator Sprcclier of Schuyler , who had arrived nt 3 o'clock , arose to protest ngnlnst the currying out of any notion tnken before 2 o'clock , IIH thnt was the hour the convention was called and anything ogreed to before that hour was illegal. His county was not represented at nil at any caucus. Other delegates questioned Ills motives , and a stiff debate ensued. It was urged by some that the convention adjourn In order that districts could again meet , but the selections made were , after a few chaneeu In the First district , ratified by the con- < | ventlon. 1 | Senator Sprecher in against the nomina tion of Bryan , holding that if Iho populist party has no principles on which to select Its own candidates it virtually gives up Its right to exist , and appeals for suffrages of men.
