James, IK BUI ONE BALLOT Bryan Had 221 Votes More Than Enough to Nominate. Names of George Gray of Delaware and Governor Johnson of Minnesota Piaced In Nomination John Worth Kern of Indiana Nominated Fcr Vice President by Acclamation. William Jennings Bryan was Fri day morning nominated for president of the United States by the Demo cratic national convention at Denver. The nomination was made at 3:40 o'clock amid scenes of tumultuous en thusiasm, the vast assemblage break ing en musse Into frenzied demonstra tion of Intensely dramatic tribute to the chosen leader. The only ballot gave Bryan the commanding and decisive total of ft2Vfc votes, or 221 more than enough to nominate, with Gray 59 and John son 46. The speech placing William J. Bryan In nomination awakened a whirlwind of demonstration rivalling In intensity and duration the record breaking tribute of Wednesday. The names of George Gray of Del aware and Governor Johnson of Min nesota were also placed In nomination with demonstrations of approval from their limited followers. The platform committee was not ready to report when the evening ses sion began, and after listening to po litical oratory the rules of procedure were suspended and the convention proceeded with the speeches placing the candidates for president In nom ination with the understanding that the usual vote would be deferred until the platform had been adopted. A small American flag had been placed on every delegate's chair prior to the beginning of the evening ses sion. This was the unmistakable evi dence of the nominating session of the convention and heightened the In terest of the spectators who early S0E Friday, Saturday and Monday, Twice a year this store has a Remnant Sale. One in February and one in July. Always wait till after our Semi-Annual Sale is over, then gather up the remnants from that sale and with those that have accumulated during the six months since last Remnant Sale, we haye a Remnant Sale that surpasses anything of the same character held in this section of the state. Always several thousand remnants, but the Remnant Sale price is so small a fraction of what they are actually worth that we never fail to dispose of them during the three days of the sale. Never Before so Many Remnants as We'll Have for this 1908 July Remnant Sale. That's because we've cut up a great many more thousand yards of goods since last February than in any six months of this store's history. Every side counter on the left clear back to. the Corset Section, the three counters on the right, and every centre aisle table piled high with remnants. The tact that there are more remnants and just three days to sell them, requires that prices be cut deeper than ever.

SaJe Slatrts Friday Morning, July 17th, made a rush for the galleries, filling them to overflowing. On the call of states Alabama yield ed to Nebraska, and I. J. Dunn of Oma ha spoke for the Nebraska delegation. When Mr. Dunn declared that his candidate was the choice of the mili tant Democracy of the country, the convention broke in with wild cheers. The ever-ready flags were tossed aloft and a roar of applause swept through the hall. While the cheering was ct Its height a white dove was let loose from the gallery, and It flew across the convention hall, while the delegates hailed It with great enthus iasm and cheered as long as It was In sight. A few minutes after the cheering began, an Immense oil painting of Mr. Bryan was lowered from behind a monster American shield which had reposed over the chairman's desk ever since the convention began. The ap pearance of the picture raised the pitch of the outburst to a veritable pandemonium. The delegates poured from the convention floor onto the al ready overcrowded stage. Many of the New York delegates stood and cheered with the others, but the ma jority remained seated. The Democratic national convention at Denver concluded Its labors late on Friday afternoon by the nomi nation of John Worth Kern of In diana for vice president, completing the ticket on which William Jennings Bryan was made the nominee for president dining the early hours of the morning. The nomination of Kern was made by acclamation amid the resounding cheers of delegates and spectators. No ballot was necessary, as the tide of sentiment had set Irresistibly to ward the Indiana candidate, state aft er state registering their delegations in his favor and ail other candidates withdrawing before the universal de mand for his nomination. The convention, after adjourning at daylight with the nomination of Mr. Bryan, resumed Its session at 1 p. m. with a powerful undercurrent already In motion toward the nomination of Kern for second place. On the call of states Indiana presented the name of Kern: Colorado through former Governor Thomas placed In nomina We want the cash that's tied up in this immense lot of Dress Goods rem nants, so we'll mark the red ink price so low that there won't be one here when the store closes on the last remnant day.

Towne of New York; Connecticut presented Archibald Mc Neill, and Georgia Clark Howell. The names of Judge George Gray of Delaware and of John Mitchell of Illinois were not presented, owing to the explicit requests of those gentle men not to have their names go be fore the convention. For a time It looked as though a bal lot would be required. But the Jteady line of states which joined in seconding Kern's nomination soon made It apparent that the chances of all other candidates had been extin guished. Mr. Towne in person was the first candidate to recognize the de cisive nature of the Kern movement, and In a ringing speech he withdrew his name from consideration and pledged his support to the ticket of Bryan and Kern. Withdrawals quick ly followed from the supporters of ITowell of Georgia and McNeill of Con necticut, leaving the Indiana candi date alone in the Held. The withdrawal of the Connecticut candidate was accomplished by a mo tion that the nomination of Kern be made by acclamation. The motion was carried with a deafening shout, and the great assemblage broke Into clamorous demonstration on the ac complishment of its work and the completion of the Democratic nation al ticket.
