The momentum ol the week's bullish feeling cu'minated to-day in a net advance in wheat of IX to lfc, .

The transac tions in silver at the Stock Exchange this morning was larger than usual,ag gregating 500,000 ounces. The activity had a humorous side; to it. It appears that a broker named Wassermann of feted 250.000 ounces in a lump at 6$M presumably with a view of influencing the- stock market.

Bryan Nominated tor President toy an Overwhelming MaJ why Pelimicary Proceedings of the Daj'j Seaalon Nominating 8peeob.ee Amaelng Soenes. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. St. Louis, July 25. The Populist Convention was called to order Dytne permanent chairman, Senator Allen, at 9.40. and after prayer by the Rev. Mr. Kent, of Washingtdhhe chairman re peated his ruling of lastvniht that the amendment adopted by theconvention giving the nomination ol a vice presi dent a preference oVer the nomination of President, made the selection of na tional committeemen the next order of tusiness. Mr. J. E. Burnett,xpf California, pro tested that this was hot so, and con' tended that the convention simply trans posed the nomination of Vice President and fresident. xne cuairmau- reiawu that the oentleman was entuely mis taken, and went on with the naming of national committeemen, x The chair announced that the next order of business was nominations for President.,. -Mr. Green, of Nebraska, got on the platform to make a motion and a speech. The latter was to the effect that this was one of the most important conventions that ever assembled on American sMl, as it was to name a min who was not only to head the ticket, but who was to be elected. - At this point the speech was inter rupted by points of order which irritated Mr, Green to the extent of making him leave the stand. He was, however, in duced to come back and the rules were susoended to enable him to go on in or der. He declared, however, that his self-respect would prevent his saying anything, and he retired for good. Alabama being called, Mr. George Gaiter, of that State, addressing his brothers and sisters of the convention vlelded to Tames B. Weaver, who he said would name the man who would be the running mate of Tom Watson aqd run the gold-bugs out of existence. Mr. Weaver came forward and was presented by the chairman. Mr. Weaver opened his speech with the remark that the condition of the People's party this morning was most "critical." He had but two aspirations one was to pre serve untarnished and unbroken the creat principles of the party and the other was to preserve the party organi zation "for present and future uses in everv portion of the country. He as sumed that all delegates had read in the papers this morning the telegram from Mr. Bryan declining to ac ept the nom ination of the People's party disassoci ated from Mr. Sewall. "No man," said Mr. Weaver, "could have done less and be a. man. Mr. Bryan's attitude cha! lenged the respect of every delegate present and ot every man who reads the proceedings ol this convention. "But." he continued, "this is a greater question than the personality of our candidate. " After I read Mr. Bryan's telegram I utterly refused, and I now utterly refuse, to concur with the desire either of Mr. Bryan or of Senator Jones as to who shall be the nominee ot this convention." The rest ot Mr. Weaver s speech was read from a typewritten copy, and put Mr. Brvan in nomination. Mr. Bryan's name was received with applause, the whole convention standing on chairs and waving bats. A gigantic wooden cross, surmounted by a golden crown, thus reversing Mr. Bryan's famous epigram, was brought in and carried around the hall. All the States joined in the demon stration except Missouri, Texas, Rhode Island and Wisconsin. Afte order had been restored, Gen. Field, of Virginia, came to the front, and in a short, im passioned speech, declared Mr. Bryan the choice of the Virginia delegation and said that although no music had been provided, the convention was marching to "The. Music of the Spheres;" that victory stands tiptoe on the mountain tops and all the con vention had to do was to accept it. "Now, gentlemen of' the jury," be went on "I mean of the convention" laughter! "I move that the rules be suspended and the nomination of Wm. Jennings Bryan be declared unanimous The chairman put the question and two-thirds of the delegates rose with vociferous shouts" of "aye..' This cry, however, was accompanied by the counter cry of "no. Cill the roll of States." Several of the most excited opponents got on the platlorm and angrily pre vented the chairman from declaring the result ol the vote. During the uproar, Mr. Asby, of Texas, managed to obtain a hearing. He said Texas was ready to endorse Mr. Bryan if Mr. Bryan would endorse the Populist platform. To en dorse him without that would be the act of children. Cheers He did not be neve mar. Bryan, oeing an nonest man, could ignore the .Democratic platform and stand upon the Populist platform. A delegate shouted that Bryan would stand on the Populist platform. '.'Let him say so for himself," Mr. Ashby shouted back, "and not through an agent. . I leave this question with you. I want Texas to be set right. Let us nominate our own ticket. I was anx ious tnat we snouid tnis morning norm nate feugene V. Debs. I , Mr. Howard, of Alabama, asked by wnat authority, the chairman had recog nized a gentleman from Virginia before his State had been cilled to move a sus pension ot the rules and a call of States to nominate Bryan, thus shutting off all other nominations. This gang rule had heretofoie been unknown in Pouplist conventions. The chair said the gentleman frem Virginia had been accorded the floor on the time ot the delegation from Arkan sas. The roll-call was interrupted to allow the reading ot a telegram to one of the delegates; it was: "Please do not permit the use of my name for nomiua- nation. Eugene V. Debs." When the State of California was call ea, Mr. i. v. cater oi that state came to the stand and a long and flowery ora tion was wound up by the nomination of wuiiam J. Bryan, to which nomination another California delegate objected, The call of States was then continued. Mr. Cobb, of Alabama, in the chair. When the State of Georgia was called, Mr. Hunt of that State came to the p'atform. He began his speech by thank' ing the convention for its action last night in nominating Tom Watson for the Vice Presidency. He seconded the nomination of Mr. Bryan and predicted the onward march to victory and tri umph. , Col. Claggett responded to the call of Idaho and seconded the nomination of Bryan. It seemed to him that it would oea crime against liberty, a crime against humanity,, if the conven tion ianea to secure the anion of - the great masses .of the common people. When the State of Kansas was called. rar. jerry Simpson made a short speech seconding the nomination of Mr. Bryan ana eulogizing nim. ine aeiegates irom Louisiana put iuiwaru a rneir , orator a handsome Drown-naired young woman, Mrs. Kooerts, ot Colorado, who in lurmcu tuc convention mat sne came from a State where men had the courage ana me cnivairy 10 grant to women the right which they demanded for them' seives. -we oi coioraao, sue ex claimed, "I mean we of Louisiana" laughter "second the nomination of Mr. Bryan." Mrs. ' Roberts withdrew amid applause.. Mr. Henry WiTCall, of New York, was orator." He spoke of the proposed mar riage between Populism and Democracy and declared that be knew a jast and lawful impediment to it and exclaimed that in the name ot the common weaua he forbade the banns. Laagnterj. n was proceeding to oppose the name of Bryan when Senator Allen called the at tention of the Maine delegation that it was nnderstooa to secona uar. oryau a nomination. The chairman proved to be right and Mr. Field, of Virginia, de clared angrily that this gentleman was abusing the confidence of tne conven tion and was not a Populist at all. ' The chairman asked ot the New iom delegation whether Mr. Call was a dele gate and the answer was that be had been a member ot tne reopies pa only two weeks and had attended only one meeting. a , Mr- Call asserted that the Kansas del egation knew bis Populistic sentiments. Jerrv Simpson replied that nobody in the Kansas delegation knew anything about him. Laughter, "Well," said the chairman, contemp tuously, "he knows more than the 910 Populists let him speaK snouts; 01 laughter. The boy orator lrom New York went on with his speech, denouncing the gag law and protested against the nomina tion of a man who bad openly repudiated the action of the convention yesterday. He had the honor of nominating a broad-minded philanthropist and a man of the people, a pioneer in the cause of reform Mr. b. J?. Norton, ot cnicago. Mr. E; Gerry Brown, of Mass3Chu setts, came to the platform to speak for his State. He said he was not onlv here for his party, he was here for his coun try. There was no party. On both sides were two forces fighting, and there was no middle road. It was either a fight for Mr. Bryan or a fight for hell and damnation in this country. Cheers and laughter. "Fall in line," he cried, "no one side or the other ana aamnea will be he who first cries hold, enough.'! Choose ye this day whom ye shall serve, i In behalf of the twenty votes of Massa chusetts. I second the nomination of Willi3m J. Bryan." Cheers . ; Mr. Donnelly, of Minnesota, amid ap plause, spoke in favor of the nomina tion of Mr. Bryan under existing cir cu instances, though he had hitherto op nosed. There has been some talk, he said, of forcing Mr. Bryan to take dis tinct action on our nomination. We can readily see that It will place him in an embarrassing position if forced to choose between Mr. Sewall and Mr. Watson. I think if we are . going to. nominate him we should be generous to iim. We should not force him to such an embarrassing position. Cheers Neither do I think we ought to call upon him to endorse'our platform. "Our principles do not exist by the sufferance of William .Bryan or any man on earth. Mis. Maty Elizabeth Lease was next introduced by the chairman and; was warmly cheered. She made an eloquent appeal for unity, which bad not ; one tinge of the bitternesi usually associated with her speeches. On the contrary, she asserted that she had never been so proud of being an American as during this convention. "Ycu have been equal to the great responsibility placed upon you, she said. "You have demonstrated your emancipation from the dictation of party pressure and party rule. -, 1 came to this convention to-day wearing a Bryan badge for the first time, deter- m ned, no matter what might be the action of the convention, that from now until next November I would support William I. Bryan, and we will elect him the next 'President of the United States." rCheeisl Mr. Smith, of Montana, and Mr. W L Green, of Nebraska, seconded Bryan. A delegate asked Mr. Green if Ne braska would vote for Bryan and Watson, Mr. Green replied: "Nebraska will vote as she always has done tor the Pooulist ticket. TCheeis We are not bolters in Nebraska." A Texas delegate asked whether Mr, Brvan would endorse this platform. To this Mr. Green responded: "I answer ycu, sir. by saying I know Mr, Brvan. He is my friend, and I know he is S true a Populist as are ycu o: 1. Cheers B Jt William J. Bryan would be a fool if he would come to this con vention and jump on the rostrum and accept this platform. Why he has not even accepted the Democratic platform yet. A delegate from West Virginia, who did not give h.s name, rose in the Lbodv of the hall and in excited tones said : I came here to prevent this convention falling into the hands cf the Democratic party. I "The gentleman is out of order," ,said the chairman. 1 -i "I retire," replied the West Virginian, and he left the ball accordingly. f Mr. Kitchin, of North Carolina, en dorsed Bryan and then a tinge of hu mor was imparted to the proceedings by the chairman of the New Jersey dele gation, who said he had an eloquent speech prepared in wh ch he brought in all the lakes and the mountains and covered the whole country. "I have it in my pocket," he said, (pulling out ; a big roll cf type written manuscript) but I cannot speak without the band and the band is dead. I, therefore, ask leave to insert it in the record." : j This sally was received with applause and laughter. Still this did not prevent the ceaseless flow of oratory. Every State when called sent at least one spokesman to the stand. When the State of Pennsylvania was called Mrs. Ellen Johnson, of that State, was put fotward and declaimed for a few mo ments, yielding the balance of her time to Miss Caldwell, "the Sweet singer of Colorado."- The young lady justified her title by the style in which she sang a short harmonious production to the air of "The Battlecry of Freedom' The Chorus was, "Free Sjlver. Live Forever." When the State of Tennessee was called Mr. McDowell, ot that State sergeant at-arms of the convention made a short speech declaring tat the Populists of Tennessee had come to St. Louis as middle-of-the-road PopuliBts and were yet middle of-1 he-road Popu lists; but still he seconded (though not by authority of bis delegation) the nomi nation of B yan. He would say for himself that Bryan and Watson would be the next President and Vice i Presi dent. Shouts tor Bryan and Watson "Cyclone" Davis, of Texas, seconded the nomination of Norton of Chicago and suggested that if Bryan should not accept the nomination it should be given to the person receiving the next highest number of votes. The call of States for nomination was finished at 8.30 and then the vote was called for. At this point the chairman informed the convention that it .would bet neces sary to give the National Committee plenary power (of the convention) to do all the things the convention itself could do. Itl was agreed to. -.This absolute and unrestricted authority has been con- lerred on the National Committee over all matters in whicn the party is inter ested. I ; At 3 40 the call of States was com menced for vo'.es on the Presidential nominations, the two candidates being Bryan, of Nebraska, and Norton, of Illi nois. The call was finished at 4 05, with Bryan nominated by an immense ma jority. J j ; Before the announcement of the result Mr. Ignatius Donnelly rose to what he called the "occasion of information." He unders ood that Mr. Bryan had sent a telegram to a gentleman on the plat form in which he positively refused the Populist nomination. He thought it just and right to their convention to know whether that was true or not. "The regular order is called for,"siid the chairman, and no reply was made. At 4 22 p. m. the result was officially announced as follows : For Norton, 821; for Bryan, 1,042. The huge cross with its gilded! crown, with inscriptions from Bryan's speech on both, was carried at the bead ol a noisy crowd of boys, apparently re cruited and kept in reserve for the occa sion. It was followed by nags, banners, and State guidons. ; Deafening . yells. whistles, and cat-calls were kept up in dustriously, although it was quite evi dent that the delegates as'a whole took little part in the demonstration. There was no enthusiasm, bnt there was a babel of noise and uproar which simulated it. When there was a comparative lull in the tumult, a motion was made by a del egate in the centre aisle thatthe conven tion adjourn without delay. The chair man pounded with his gavel and tried in vain to restore order. After some time, however, and without a formal statement as to the nomination of Mr. Bryan, he put the question, declared it carried and at 4.40 p. m. the convention adjourned sine die. Cyclone Davis, of Texas, when seen after the adjournment of the convention by a representative of the Southern Associated Press, expressed himself in behalf of the Texas delegation and the entire Populist party of the South. He said that Bryan and Watson would un doubtedly be supported by the Southern fopuusts, including those in Texas, and in bis judgment they would be the suc cessful nominees, not, however, without a heroic campaign W.LLIAM J. BRYAN, The DemooMtlo Nominee for President, 8;s HU Action in Begard to the Nomi nation Made by tnp Poadlula Will ' Depend TJpin tbe Conditions Articled Thereto. By Telegraph to tbe Horning Star. Lincoln, Neb , Jaly 25. Mr. Wm. J. Bryan told the Southern Associated Press representative to-night that his action with regard to the Populist National ticket would depend entirely upon the conditions attached . to his nomination. In answer to a question concerning tne matter, he said: " When the Populists decided to nom inate the Vice President first, Senator Jones, chairman of the National Demo cratic committee, wired the following: "Populists nominate Vice President first. If not Sewall, what shall we do ? Answer quick, I favor : your declina- tioo in tnat case. "I wired immediately as follows : "I entirely agree with you j Withdraw my name it bewail is not nominated." These dispatches were published in this morning's papers and the conven tion understood my position.' In spite ot this, thev have seen nt to nominate me. Whether I shall accept the nomi nation or not will depend entirely upon what conditions are attached to it. My nrst desire is to aid in securing the im mediate restoration by the United States of the free and unlimited coinage of gold and silver at the present legal ration of 16 to 1, without waiting for the aid or consent of any other nation. The Republican platform declares that the bimetallic system should berestoted, but asserts that we as a people are help less to secure bimetallism for ourselves until foreign nations come to our ass s- tance. We cannot afford to surrender our right to legislate for our people upon every qu s.ion and so Ion; as that right is disputed, no other question can ap proach it in importance. I appreciate the desire manifested at St. Louis to consolidate all the free silver forces and regret that they did not nom nite Mr. Sewall also. He stacds tquarely upon the Chicago platform and has defended our cause against greater oppo sition than we have bad to meet in tbe West or South. The Populist platform is.oa m ny questions, tubstantially ident ical with tbe Chicago platform: it goes beyond the Chicago platform, however. and endorses some policies which I do not approve. All that 1 cn say now is that my action will depend entirely upon the conditions attached to the nomina tion. I shall do nothing j which will en danger the success ot i bimetallism, nor shall I do anything unfair to Mr. Sewall." MARION BUTLtR Elected Chai:mn of the Popnlist. National Commi tee, Py Telegraph to the Horning Star. St. Louis, July 25 The first meeting of the Populist National Committee was held this evening at tbe Lindell Hotel, and started in with as much promise for debate as was exhibited in tbe convention that created it. This propensity for dis cussion was so irrepressible that one cf the members called attention to the fact that the campaign lasted but four months, and it was imperative that the committee organize before that period cf time had elapsed. The committee was called to order shortly after eight o clock by ex-congressman Late Pence, of New York, and after much discussion the following gentle men were placed in nomination tor chairman of the committee: Senator Marion F. Butler, of North Carolina; Gen. James B. Weaver, of Iowa; Judge H. L. Bantley, of Texis; Senator Wm. V. Allen, of Nebraska; John W. Brei- denthal of Kansas. On the first ballot the result was as follows: Butler, 46; Weaver, 20: Bentley, 6; Allen, 29; Beidecthal. 19. As 61 votes were necessary, there was no choice. Tbe second billot resulted in the elec tion c f Senator Butler, as follows: Butler 65;Weaver, 10; Allen, 85; Breidenthal.13, WARM Wl RELETS.
