thero has been but ono namo connected with
tho ofllco and with tho nomination at this

opposcit tho exercise of criminal power In

American citizen of tho ngc. 1 think ho U
as an orator', as a ntatcslnan, tho equal of
Webster and Clay, It not their superior. Ho

further dcrrlptlon of this man, I present to
tlils convention this hero, statesman and
orator, William Jennings Bryun."
Tho announcement ot Mr. Bryan s name
was tho signal for another enthusiastic out

largo star, having trlojiortra'tt of Bryan In
tho center and (ho convention i!hccr(?d ngaln,

nounced: '
"I havo tho pleasure to Introduce General
James B. Weaver of Iowa."
Another outburst ot cheers rang out as
tho veteran from Iowa camo forward to
Becond the nomination of Mr. Bryan. Ho
spoke, in part, as follows:
Weaver SecomlN the Nomination,
"I had the honor to present ut 'St.' I-oiils

who has Just been mentioned," said Gen
eral Weaver. "I am clad- tint 1 can say

regretted, or" any populist Itr America has-ro
grotted, that too was -tho choice of that con

Bryan. Tho delegates In - this--convention
are dlhdples of tho first, manr 'of therm

nro followers of the third, Mr. Bryan U
peculiarly a representative of American
civilization. It Is with peculiar satisfaction
nnd with the most unselfish purposo that I
arlso beforo you to second tho nomination
ot William Jennings Bryan as president of
the United States."
Jerry Simpson was then announced. nm(d
vigorous npplausc. It was enough Jia, said,
to say of Mr. Bryan that ho had risen bead
and shoulders abovo hlK compeers n tho
democratic party nnd that he had also cap
tured tho peoplo s party, as well. Bryan, ne
declared, represented tho struggle for human
rights and 'ho wanted tho populists to atnjid
by him and do all In their power to elect
him. thus taking tho first step toward re
storing tho country to its old-time glory.
O. J?'. Washburn of Massachusetts added
his testimony In behalf of Bryan, lio said;
"I rise to second tno nomination oi wiiiiam,

that personality and I 'trust that ho will be
nominated ,by acclumatlon.
Tho chair recognized' "Cyclone" Davis 'of
Texas and a shout wont up' as tho tall form
of Davis loomed up on hlq way to the plat
form. Davis announced that nt other con
ventions he had been a political opponent of
Bryan, but had now como over to the ranks
of tho elect and believed that In him lay
tho hopes of tho nation nnd the only man
who can "throttle the oppressors of tho
poaple."
Talk liy "Cyelone" Dm In.
"Wo havo Bryan clubs down our way,"
said tho speaker, "and I can promise you

Wo aro with him hcor.t apd soUl and wo
glvo him not only our lovo and admiration
but tho hot blossom of a noble surrendsr for

politics and perhaps tho tltlo. Is not Inap
propriate, for we nll know that Napoleon
made a dash Into tbo Orient and it did net
pan out very well,"
Keeping up his Napoleonic slinllo, the
speaker proceeded that the "Napoleon of re
publican politics would meet his Waterloo
next November." There wero loud calls of
"Butler, Butler," and Marlon .Butler ot
North Carolina was greotod with phoers as
he camo forward,
Briefly but eloquently, Snnator Butler sec
onded Mr. Bryan's nomination. "I. fcr ono,"
said he, "will put Into this fight nil that
Is In my power. I know every populist In
tho United States will do tho same In any
capacity he may be told to act, and I ap
peal to you to make his eltictlon certain
next Novembor."
W. J, Thomas of . Colorado, the next
speaker, said that Colorado had never beeu
behind Jn the espousal of reform mersurcs
nnd that the state would again be toupd In
tho column In 1000 as a supporter of Bryau.
Olds of Pennsylvania, "now Sf yearB old,
who voted foi Honry Clay In .1511 and -s
now for William J. Bryan," was next In
troduced. Olds, bent nnd white-boarded,
said that he had walked 1,000 miles to voto
for Henry Clay In 1811.
"I enmo 1,000 miles to voto for William J,

Cries of "Wp won't" greeted Mr. OldB as
ho sat down.
Jones of Illinois nssured tho convention
that his htate would give Bryan a majority
In November. Senator Allen of Nebraska
stepped forward.
"Mr. Chairman," said he, amid perfect si
lonnp. "1 mavn that tho rules of this con
nlngs Bryan be nominated by acclamation
for president of the United States."
Hryan liy Aeelaiantlnn.
Amid tho din that followed Senator Allen's

adopt tho plan of Mr. Wnshburn. Half a

Weavor concluded, but tho chair recognized
E. Gerry Brown of Mnsrachuaetts. '

ho tald.' (Laughter and applause). "If you

strong opposition to tbo conference plan.
Kdwnjfl S. Groce of Michigan was then
recognized. But Just hero nn Incident oc
cured that thre-w tho convention Into an
uproar' -arid which, for a few moments,
threatened to result In a freo light.

"neforo Mr. Groce apetiks," said tho chair
man, "tho' chair -wishes to nnnounco that
thero Is a package of lettert here for tho
Solltn 1)akota delegation. It was found on n
rhalr and was' probably lost by same mem
ber of tho de-legation.
Former Congressman John F. . Kelly ot
South Dakota, who had been' clamoring for
recognition, jvII day, nt once advanced, and
with' Ms' voico shaking with anger, said:
"Tho Sou,th Dako.ta delegation Is. glad to
receive this recognition from ,tho .chulr, for
It- In tho only I'sognltlon it bus received
from you. You are a mlserablo bunco
stoew," Mr. Kelly ehouted. "You camo
Into this convention with professions of
good faith. You are not fit to prealdo over
a populIU convention- and you never -will
ngaln."
Jn nn Instant thore was nn uproar and
crlM-of "IHjt htm out" wero heard.
"I rlfco to a point of order." shouted Mr.
Kolly. "t stand, on my Tight and you can t
bunco me out of them.
I Theu turning toward tho wildly uhoutlns
delegates he yelled- ' I defy yen! ' I defy
you to put me out!" Pale with passion he
again wrneu toward i nairman rniierson
and pointing his finger at him cried: "You
tlr, are trying to gratify a petty spite
originating In today's conference."
Amid cries of "Put him out!" "Shut up'"
and '-Shame on you!" Mr. Kelly returned ts
hla delegation, every member of which wns
standing on his feet.
During nil tho uproar Chairman Patter
son, flushed nnd apparently nervous, kept
pounding with his gavel In n vain effort t6
restore order. Finally the excited dele
gates quieted semen tint for n moment.
I'n I lerHon'n i:iilannl Ion.
"The chair dejlres to make nn explanation,'-
raid Chairman Patterson. "1 havo
honestly endeavored to let the convention
hear from both sides In succession."
"I deny thnt as a falsehood," broke In Mr
Kelly, nnd ugnln the convention b.etme a
perfect pandemonium. Sevornl excited dele
gates stripped off their coats ready for
business, while a gray-beared, hut brawny
delegate, ran toward Mr, Kelly. He was.
however, stopped beforo he reached hint.
"It was tho purpoie of iho chairman, ns
soon n tho gentleman concluded to recog-
nlzo tho gentleman from South Dakota,
concluded Chairman Patterson, pale- with
anger, "because the gentleman who has Just
finished upoko on the oppcnlte elrte of tho
question. Mr. Groce was recognized. There-
fort' I resent tho Imputation.
Tho uproar at this moment became so
great that tho chairman could not be heard,
renewed cries of "Put him out" comlni?
from tho delegates. As soon ns ho could
be heard, Chairman Patterson contlnue-1:
"After Mr. Groce ronrltidcn I will recog
nize him. not because he Is Mr. Kelly, but
becauso ho represents our host, the state
of South Dakota. The gentleman Is trying
to Intimidate the chair. cLt me nsstire Mm
the chair will not be Intimidated."
Mr. Kelly, surrounded by several members
of the South Dakota delegation, was on
bis feet again by thlit time nnd nttemptcd
to speik but a chorus of "Tako your seat
and !-'Oh, shut up" greeted him nnd nfter n
mlnuto he sat down nnd tho convention grad
ually came to order.
Mr. Groce spoko urgently In favor of Bond
ing a committee on conference to Kamvw
City as proposed, by Mr. Wnahburn.
Kelly Han Ills Say Out. '
Thn chair then recognized Mr. Kelly of
South Dakota, who said: "I very much ro- .
grct tho littlo altercation I had a short tlmo
ngo and 1 regret tho chairman should think
I tried to Intimidate him. I glvo you my
vord of honor that I tried nothing of tho
kind."
"Set down," shouted a Nebraska delegate.
"I claim no delegate has n right to take tho
floor to mnko personal remarks."
I hope," said tho chair, "that the gentle
man will be permitted to nay whatever io on
his mind regarding tho chairman."
Mr. Kelly resumed: "Whllo I deeply re
gret what has happened I cannot find It In
my heart to npo'.oglze, especially as I have
several times during the day risen to n
point of order nnd havo been persistently
Ignored. I have been all day denied my
simple, plain rights nn a delegate. ' Penn-
ally 1 do not carp to make a speech to this
convention, but I have been aBked to do so
by the South Dnkotn delegation, which has
done mo thu honor t make mo Its chair
man." Mr. Kelly then turned to tho pending
question nnd urged that a nccnlnatton be
mado at once, telling the convention that It
was inconsistent with tho dignity of the
party to refrain from making It.
Mr. Kelly was given an ovation by his fel
low delegates as soon as he took his soot.
Thoy thumped him on the hack and 6hook
him by the shoulders until his coat was
nearly -torn from him.
Chairman Patterson asked tho convention
If" It wished any further debato on the ques-
l Kill OI me, victr pruiuucm.-j.
A"fter "a lbii dlsdiFfclon on the parlia
mentary positions of tho -various motions,
amendments nnd substltotes. the chalrmnn
held that the original question wnB tho
amendment offered by Jerry Simpson, which
provided thnt tho national committee should
go to Kansas City for conference with the
free silver republicans and democrats re
garding tho vlco presidency.
Mr. Simpson wns given the floor for the
closing argument In behalf of his amend
ment. Ho began by deploring tho statements
of some of the speakers who predicted the
death of the people's party.
Mr. Simpson's resolution provided for the
appointment of a commltteo to go to Kan
sas City nnd confer with tho democratic
commltteo In regard to a vice presidential
candidate. Amid much confusion the voto
resulted 202 for and 192 against.
Iteaily to -Niiine Towne.
In thu midst of applause which followed
tho announcement of tho result Senator
Allen arose. "Mr. Chairman," he said, "I
desire to namo Charles A. Towne of Minne
sota for the ofllco of vice president and to
move that tho nomination bo made unani
mous."
Cries of "No!" "No!" camo from several
delegates. Jerry Simpson mado the point of
order that Mr. Washburn's compromise

lot of flvo names to 'bo presonted by a com
mltteo to the democratlo and silver repub
llcan conventions nnd from which to en
deavor to select n cnndldnte for vlco presi

ruled the point well taken. Tho roll call
wns offered on resolution, which wns also
defeated, and tho vice presidential question
was at last settled. Tho vote stood 270
votes for and 52G votes against.
Senator Allen then took tho chair, Pat
terson's voice having given out.
Howard S. Taylor of Illinois, James H.
Davis of Texas, John W. Drlcdenthal of
Kanin, B. Gerry Brown of Massachusetts,
Charles A. Towno of Minnesota, John J

Mr, Schilling of Wisconsin then moved
