(From a Staff Correspondent )
LINCOLN, Neb.. July 10. (Special Tel
egram.) The nomination of J. W. Kern
of Indiana as his running mate was
promptly bulletined to Mr. Bryan at his
Fstrvlcw horre.
Bryan arid that his views of the nom
ination could beet be expressed In the
telegram whic h lie sent to Mr. Kern. He
la not only pleased with the nomination,
but pleased that It ff made with such
unanimity. There were a number of per
sona whom he minted as avallablr and

"WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN."
With the coming; of a new day came the
news to Falrvlew that William Jennings
Bryan had again been nominated by the
deim cratle party for president, and as a
inrlnad of newspaper men and all-night
vis tors left the home of the nominee they
met coming over the hi 1 the advance
guard of a delegation of Lincoln reople
going to pay their respects to their fellow
townsman, which before noon swelled to a
mighty liost and Included the repuM can
slate officers.
The news of the nomination was f'ss'ied
to the home of Mr. Bryan hef ra the roil
call had been completed, after a ntsht of
watting. The Nebraska leader changed at
one from the carefree host to the serious
man. seemingly rec-gnitlng the added re
sponsibility which the nomination' brought,
while his. guena became a committee on
congratulations.
... Not After Second Term.
Mr. Bryan shook hands with all present
and then said:
,"Thls la a nomination as purely from the
people as can bo and If elected my obliga
tion will be ss purely to the people. 1
appreciate the honor the more because It
Came not from one person or a few per
sons, but from the rank and file acting
freely and without compulsion."
Then Hie following statement, which had
ben prepared, was given to the press:
"The presidency Is the highest position In
the wor d and no one occupying It can af
r rd lo linv his vlrwa upon public questions
baiei by personal ambition. Recognlx ng
Lis responsibility to God snd his obligation
to hi countrymen, he should enter upon
the Clscliarge nt his duties with singleness
if purpose. Believing that one isn best do
tils when he Is not planning for a second
term, I announce now, as I have on former
occasions, that if elected I shall not be a
a dldate for re-election."
Drink from Lot I oaf Cap.
After he hsd made his talk to tbe press
Mr. Lryun invited all to a drink with him
f oni a sliver loving cup some unfermented
wl.e.
Thus wss the night ended as Informally
as It I ad beun and aa It had been through
out. Resides the newspaper men only a
few guests spent the night with the nomi
nee, read.ng with him the bulletins that
woro fiashed from the Denver convention.
' These were A. L. Talbot, former law part
ner of Mr. Bryan; Mrs. T. S. Allen a sis
ter; Mrs. W. H. Winger, John T. Kent and
Df. Co of New York. Miss Grace l!ran
remained up throughout the night, though
Mrs. Biyan retired about midnight with
the r grandchildren. Mr. Bryan played the
genial host .!! the time and thojgh com
menting frequently on the news from Den
ver not once did he show the Intense in
terest which must have been his.
Hi-ran Talk. Kits Dearer.
Early in the evening connections were
made by telephone wi n the convention and
Jo. in I. Mar.ln, seigeant at-arms, talked
with the candidate:
"Hello. Mr. President, you are Just the
same as elected right now."
Then Permanent Chairman Clayton got
the other end of the wire.
"I believe you are going to be elected,"
he said.
When I. J. Dunn was Interrupted In his
Ruminating speech by the applause for
Bryan, the guests were invited into the
private office of the candidate to listen
to the demonstration. So well hsd the
telephone company dune it work that
the great demonstration might have been
at Talrvlew, one listener being convinced
he recognised a voice of one of the shouters.
Mr. Bryan enjoyed all of this to the
utmost. 1 He talked and laughed and took
his turn at the receiver when the platform
was being flashed over the wires, plank
at a time, with the Information that it had
been adopt d. He frequently applauded.
As the night wore on. those In waiting
voiced objection to such a long demonstra
tion. "Yuu are very Inconsiderate," smiled
back Mr. Bryan. At the conclusion of the
reading of the platform, Mr. Bryan said:
"I am very much pleased with the
platform. It Is clear, specific and strong,
and I am grateful to the committee for
the work that they have done In stating
lb Issues. I am sure that the platform
will greatly strengthen us In the fight
upon which we are entering."
Mr. Bryan took great Interest In the
speeohea seconding his nomination and
si ways had some happy answer to the
protests from his guests at the continu
ation of thee speeches.
During the evening Miss Grace Bryan
erred buttermilk to all present and the
loud eajle for "Fairbanks'' brought forth
laugh from the FsJrvlew statesman. For
mality was entirely absent at the gather-

CONSUL GENERAL IN DANGER
Fla-htlnar Takes Place Near Tabrla
Which Mar Have Serious
Consequences.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 10.-A special
dispatch received here from Tabrii says
that fighting has occurred between Cos
sacks and Persian irregular troops in the
vicinity of the villa, a few miles outside
of Tabriz, of M. Poliitonoff, the Russian
consul general. Five persons were killed
and several were wounded. Cossacks are
patrolling the highway between liie v ila
and Tabriz. Although the Irregulars were
repulsed, they continue to threaten the
villa In large numbers. The surrounding
country has been abandoned to pillage and
the people of the nearby villages have
taken refuge behind the walls of the Con
sulate. For the last few days M. Popltlnoff
played a leading role In the government of
Tabriz. He fled to his villa, taking with
him as esrort a majority of the available
Cossacks shortly after the arrival of
Hachtn Khan. The lives and proper. y of
the Europeans and the consular officials
at Tabriz are protected by only a handful
of troops. The American consul at Tabriz
Is William F. Doty.
The Teheran correspondent of the Lokal
Anielser reports that a body of Cosracks
this morning totally demolished the most
prominent cafe in Teheran, ileclailng that
they were acting under imperial oid.-rs. It
was from this cafe that the bomb was
thrown and that shots were fired during
the bombardment of the Parliament build
ings, which kiHed several Cossacks. The
people today wltn-&s,d the destruction of
the cafe with imlll fennce. No :ihots were
fired.
The Cossacks are piaciicing dally with
tiie new machine guns under the direction
of Russian officers.

BIG ROLLER WORKS TO END
Brytn Winds Up by Dictating the
Nomination for Vice President.
NO ENTHUSIASM OVER RESULT

Concerning; Kffect of Clay
ton's "peerh.
(From a Staff Correspondent)
DENVER, Colo., July lO.-tHpecial Tele
gram ) The concluding session of the
democratic national convention was about
as exciting as a Quaker prayer meeting.
The statement had been heralded "lhat
the choice of a vice presidential candidate
would be left to the convention, and that
Mr. Bryan had agreed lo suspend the opei
atlon of the steam roller for that purpose.
Had there been any truth In the report,
the closing session would have been a
hummer, when In fact It was distressingly
dull. Something like a dozen candidates
were named In more or less flamboyant
speeches, but it became known early In
the session that Mr. Bryan had, slated
John V. Kern of Indiana for tltr place
and the business uf making nominations
was purely perfunctory. No enthusiasm
was aroused when Kern was placed In
nomination and when his nomination was
seconded from time to time, by other
states there was hardly a ripple of ap
plause. Winn it became evident that he
was to be chosen, the convention settled
down to wait until the spellbinding wss
over ami then proceeded to obey the In
structions lecelved from Lincoln.
Despite the show of enthusiasm worked
up In the session at which Bryan was nom
inated, the result of the convention has
left a had taste In the mouths of the
eastern delegates. They came here not
with the hope of defeating Rryan for nom
ination but with the hope of presenting
such a showing ss would induce the leader
to agree to a moderate platform. They
fought day and night to secure this, bring
ing all kinds of pressure from business
men throughout the east, but finally gave
up snd allowed the radicals to have their
way. The radicals are Insisting that the
democratic plunk on anti-Injunctions is
very conservative, but the conservatives
know better.
Conservatives Are Silent.
Gompers, Mitchell, Duncan and all of
the big labor leaders here express them
selves as perfectly satisfied with- It,
which is sufficient answer to the claim
that the plank Is conservative to any
degree. The plank satisfies the radicals
and the laborites, who profess to believe
that It will not offend the conservatives.
As a matter of fact the conservatives are
not protesting. They realize that they
have lost and they propose to let tiie rad
icals have all the rope necessary for
the November neck stretching.
But while the eastern democrats are
particularly sore over the platform, west
ern democrats are much alarmed over the
effect of the speech of Congressman
Clayton, the permanent chairman. HIa
carefully considered attack on President
Roosevelt was listened to in silence by
the western democrats. . Thejr Jyiow the
feeling.. of - the. west toward Mr. Roose
velt and the Roosevelt policies, and they
must appreciate the fact that the Clayton
tpeech will do great harm among demo
crats who have endorsed the Roosevelt
policies and who have Mr. Clayton's word
for it that Mr. Taft will carry out those
policies. Clayton's speech and the radi
cal platform spoiled any hope the east
ern democrats had of having a big, con
servative democrat named for the vice
presidency. Judge Gray of Delaware,
who could have had the nomination by
nodding his head, refused absolutely to
accept It. D. R. Francis and Governor
Folk of Missouri took to the woods early
after the platform was announced. W.
L. Douglas of Massachusetts positively
refused to allow his name to be used
and the fight narrowed to the lesser
lights, and Mr. Bryan made his ptrk from
a group of left-overs. W. II. H.

WASHINGTON, July 10. Representative
James 8. Sherman, candidate for vice
president on the republican ticket, in a
short time will retire from the republican
congressional committee, of which he is
chairman.
This determination has been reached by
Mr. Sherman and other republican leaders
within a day or two. The announcement
of Mr. Sherman's prospective resignation
was made here today by Senator llomen
way of Indiana, who accompanied by R a
resentative MclClnley sof Illinois, arrived
in Washington this morning from Hot
Springs, Va., where they have been in
conference for several days with Judga
Taft.
The decision of Mr. Sherman to retire
from the committee was reached only alter
very careful consideration of the entire
political situation. It was finally deemed
wise for him to relinquish his duties as
chairman of the congressional committee
largely on account of the duties and
responsibilities, which will devolve upon
him as one of the nutional candidates. It
has not been determined yet who his suc
cessor as chairman of the committee will
be. It is likely that Mr. riheriiian's form.il
resignation and the announcement of the
name of his successor will be made
simultaneously.
To actaue to Hest.
Senator Henienway and Repies.n'.ative
McKinley are enroute for Chicago. They

whether Senator Henienway will undertake
the d rvctloa of the western campaign, with
headquarters at Chicago. Tiie nutter Is
under consideration. Senator Hemenway In
not anxious to undertake the work, but he
may be persuaded to do to. He has aa
important campaign In his own stale this

urgent request for him to come to Denver
and confer with the national committee.
Dr Hall Is anxious for Mr. Bryan to have

will grant the request. In view of the fact
that he has an appointment with Murphy
of Tammany to meet the Tigers at the Rock

Mr. Bryan asked 'the New Yorkers to stop

would see him at the depot If convenient.
Mr. Bryan will be there.
During the day the nominee received
