WILD ENTHUSIASM FOLLOWED
Indiana Man Was Nominated By
Acclamation For Vice President
After Oothers Withdrew—Extracts
From the Platform.
Denver, Colo., July 14.—The Demo-
cratic national convention completed
its labors by nominating William Jen-
pings Bryan, of Nebraska, for presi-
dent, and John W. Kern, of Indiana,
for vice president.
Mr. Bryan was nominated on the
first ballot early Friday morning, after
a session lasting throughout the night.
The vote was: William J. Bryan,
WILLIAM J. BRYAN.
Nominated For President On the First
Ballot
89214; Governor John A. Johnson, 46;
Judge George Gray, 59%. Tremendous
applause followed the announcement.
Owing to the slow work of the com-
mittee on resolutions in framing the
platform the rules were suspended
Thursday night and the convention
proceeded with the nominating speech.
es, with the understanding that ballot
ing would not begin until after the
platform was adopted. When the plat-
form was presented it was adopted
unanimously.
The speech placing Mr. Bryan in
nomination was made by Ignatius J.
Dunn, of Nebraska, a youthful orator
of fire and eloquence, whose closing
phrase stirred the vast assemblage in-
to wild demonstvation.
“lI nominate,” he exclaimed, “as the
standard bearer of our party the man
who in the thrilling days of '96 and
1900 bore the battle-scarred banner of
Democracy with fame as untarnished
as the crusaders of old—America’s
great commoner, Nebraska's gifted
son, William J. Bryan.”
Immediately a perfect pandemonium
of sound and motion was unloosened,
as delegates and spectators rose en

masse and joined in the reverberating
chorus of tribute to the Nebraska can:
didate. The standards of the states
were wrenched from their places and
borne through the hall to the plat-
form, while banners bearing the por-
trait of the commoner were waved
aloft, and the multitude joined in long-
continued tribute. At times the inten-
pity of the demonstration threatened
a panic. One woman was borne out
fainting. The cheering lasted one hour
and twelve minutes.
George Gray, of Delaware, "vas
placed in nomination by L. Irving
Handy, of Delaware, and the name of
Governor Johnson, of Minnesota, was
placed before the convention by W. S.
Hammond, of Minnesota.
Kern Nominated by Acclamation.
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 toward
the Indiana candidate, state after state
gegistering their delegations in his
favor and all other candidates with-
drawing before the universal demand
for his nomination.
On the call of states, Indiana pre-
sented the name of Kern; Colorado,
through former Governor Thomas,

placed in nomination Charles A Towne,
of New York; Connecticut presented
Archibald McNeill and Georgia Clark
Howell. y %
For a time It looked as though a bal
lot would be required. But the steady
line of states which joined in second-
ing Kern's nomination soon made ft
apparent that the chances of all other
candidates had been extinguished. Mr.
Towne in person was the first candi
dete to recognize the decisive nature
of the Kern movement, and in a ring-
ing speech he withdrew his name from
consideration and pledged his support
to the ticket of Bryan and Kern. With-
drawals quickly followed, the support.

Neill, of Connecticut, leaving the In-
diana candidate alone in the field.
Extracts From the Platform.
The platform is considered by im-
partial critics as an unusually able
document. Following are in part the
planks relative to labor, corporations,
publicity of eampaign contributions,
tariff reform, ete.:
Experience has proved the necessity
of a modification of the present law
relating to injunctions, and we reiter-
ate the pledge of our national plat
forms of 1896 and 1904 in favor of the
measure which passed the United
States senate in 1896, but which a Re-
publican congress has even since re-
fused tq enact, relating to contempts
in federal courts and providing for
trial by jury in cases of indirect com-
tempt.
We deem that the parties to all ju-
dicial proceedings should be treated
with rigid impartiality, and that in-
junctions should not be issued in any
cases in which injunctions would not
issue if no industrial dispute were in-
volved.
We favor the eight-hour day on all
government work.
We pledge the enactment of a gen
eral employers’ liability act.
We pledge the Democratic party to
the enactment of a law creating a de-
partment of labor.
We favor the immediate revision of
the tariff by the reduction of import
duties. Articles entering into competi:
tion with trust controlled products
should be placed upon the free list and
material reductions should be made in
the tariff upon the necessaries of life,
especially upon articles competing
with such American manufactures as
| are sold abroad more cheaply than at
home.
the enactment of a law preventing any
vorporation contributing to a campaign
fund and any individual from contrib
uting any amount above a reasonable
minimum and providing for the pub-
lication before election of all such con-
tributions above a reasonable mini
mum.
We demand such enlargement of the
powers of the interstate commerce
commission as may be necessary to
compel railroads to perform thend dut-
fes as common carriers and prevent
discrimination and extortion.
popular election of senators, an ade
quate navy, a generous persion policy.
We are opposed to the admission of
Asiatic immigrants who cannot be
amalgamated with our population or
whose presence among us would raise
a race issue and involve us in diplo-
matic controversies with oriental pow-
ers.
COMPERS FOR BRYAN
Labor Leader Promises to Support the
Democratic Ticket.
Lincoln, Neb., July 14. — Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, will support Wil
liam J. Bryan in the coming presiden-
tial campaign. In political circles this
announcement overshadowed all oth-
ers, even the arrival of John W. Kern,
the vice presidential nominee. While
Mr. Gompers' support was promised to
the ticket, he specifically denied any
present intention of taking the stump
in the coming campaign. Reports have
gained currency that the labor leader
would speak for Bryan, but he made
no such announcement. He left Fair
view after an interview with Mr. Bry-
an. At present it is believed there will
be no need for Mr. Gompers' service
in an oratorical sense and Mr. Gomp-
ers does not expect to be called on to
gpeak publicly in the campaign. The
Renublican convention, Gompers as-
gerts, ignored the demaads of labor,
while the Democrats acknowledged
them in their platform. His course, he
says, is clear and he will do what is
demanded of him in the interests of
labor as best impressed in the plat-
form adopted at Denver. the situa-
tion is at present, Mr. mpers’ ef-
forts can be better expended else-
where than on the rostrum.
Swallowed Ten-Inch Tableknife.
Hazleton, Pa., July 14. — Charles
Henry, twenty-five years old, of West
Hazleton, swallowed a tableknife ten
inches long. It was of the ordinary
kind, with six-inch blade, one inch in
width and a wooden handle four inches
long. He submitted to an operation
at the Miner's hospital for the removal
of the knife from his stomach. His
condition is serious. He was entertain-
ing a gathering of friends at his home.
at knife-eating, when it slipped down
his throat. Heretofore he had been suc-
cessful in emulatirg the professional
sword and knife eaters, having ac-
quired the knack of having them dis-
appear and then get them out, but this
time he failed. He feared an operation,
but was forced to submit because of
the pain which he suffered.
Washington Wheat Crop Shriveling.
Tacoma, Wash. July 14. — Reports
from eastern Washington to the state
grain inspector say the hot weather is
ripening wheat so fast that the kernel
is shriveling and the crop will not ex-
ceed 22,000,000 bushels, a decrease of
nearly 50 per cent compared with last
. year.

suddenly fell and before he could be un-

few weeks ago he lost a cow by lightning,
and now a valnable horse.
W. W. Brady, of our town, is general
agent for a spray pump, the most useful and
handy machine of the kind I ever saw. In
fact it might be called a combination pump.
In watering a garden the sprayer will throw
a “rein storm” sufficient to cover nearly five
rows of potatoes, and is a capital machine
for washing buggies and wagons.
The Denver nomination gives general sat-
isfaction in this Democratic Gibraltar, A
few Democrats were not favorable to Mr.
Bryan, but that was to be expected, but as
the campaign advances, no doubt they will
argue for the success of the ticket about as
strong as any of his original supporters. By
the way, the potato bugs are here in great
myriads. Will the “party of great moral
ideas’ attribute these pests to the possibility
of a Democratic administration?
