Lous, July William Jennings Bryan. of Nebraska, who was nominated by the Democratic national convention at Chicago a fortnight ago, was on Saturday made the standard bearer of the Populist party by a vote of 1,042 to 821. The Dem- ocratic candidate was nominated in the face of his own protest in the shape of a a telegram directing the withdrawal of his name, sent to Senator Jones after Sewall, his running mate, had been ditched for the vice presidential nomination and Thomas KE. Watson, of Georgia, had been named for second place on the ticket. It was also made in the teeth of an opposi- tion so bitter that after the convention ad- journed of the radicals held a “rump” convention. . The last session of the convention, which lasted from the morning until al- most 5 afternoon, was in the marked by scenes of turbulence and noisy -i some g:30) in o'clock THOMAS E.

Lovrs, July 8 —The national conven- jon of the People’s party was called to order yesterday by Chalrman Taubeneck, of the national committee, but little work was accomplished, the day session lasting only an hour and a half, and the night session being prevented by lack of light a storm having destroyed the electric wirns leading to the convention hall. After walting in the dark for over an hour the convention adjourned, and In twenty minutes afterward the light was turned on, repairs having been made. The only result of the day's work was the election of Marion Butler, the young South Caro lina omtor, for temporary chairman, his election being opposed by the stralghtouts when it became known that Dutler fav ored Bryaq for the pregidential nominee with a sotithern man for vice president St. Lovis, July 3. Yesterday's sos glons of the Populist convention were ex. tremely gratifying to the supporters of Bryan, ang the men who favor a straight out Populist ticket were correspondingly depressed. This was because of the elec tion of Senator Allen, of Nebraska, as per. manent chairman of the convention and the signal defeat of the straightout, or “middie of the road” candidale, James E Campion, of Maine, by a vote of 758 to 564 There was a wild demonstration by the Bryan adherents when the result was an pounced. Mr. Allen's speech strongly urged the nomination of Hryan and Sew. all as the best means of securing victory for Populist principles The only other business transacted at the day's sessions was the appointment of the usual com- mittees. B81. Louis, July 25. —The delegates to the Populist convention yesterday adopted the platform of principles reported by the ma jority of the resolutions committes, of which General James B. Weaver was chairman. Two minority reports, one by | “General” Jacob 8. Coxey of Ohlo and | another by s Texas delegate, was voted down. Then the convention voted to nom- inate a man for vice president before pro- ceeding with the presidential nomination. The Bryan men nst this un- beard of “middle of | the the ! Over ng, but men carried their point, and t over flve hours Burkitt and Watson was chosen on the first ballot. At 1:49 this morning the convention adjourned until 10 o'clock The silver convention, which has been in session since Wednesday last, with Willlam P. St. John, the New York banker, as chairman, finished up its busi- ness yestorday and adjourned. There was no friction in the convention at any time The platform was adopted with- out dissent, and W.
