General Bragg, the pictures aue old hero, chairman of the delega tiou. rising on a chair in his place said: "Wisconsin cannot participate in the nomination of any man calling himself a Democrat upon a Populist platform." (Great cheers, mingled with hisses.) Mr. E. J.' Dockery of Wisconsin took his place on the platform and said: '-'My vote is stilled m tnis convention by an on-Democratic unit rule, and I am' therefore prevented frmn Tin vi nor it rp.fin.ded in favor of A L Ulll ill 1 "h that idol of the convention, Wm. J. Bryan of Nebraska, tfho ought to be elected; but 1 desire to say, gentle -men of the convention, that the peo ple of the State will give its electoral vote to the nominee of this conven tion whoever he may be, at the elec tion in November. (Cheers.) That candidate will not receive the votes of the men who are in this conven tion claiming to represent the Dem ocracv of Winconsin but the people Chicago, July 10. The decksrs were cleared this morning for bal oting in the Democratic National onvention. The real struggle opens with the delegates wrought to an. intense pitch over the sensational developments of yesterday when the Bryan wave swept through the con vention and threatened to stampede, it then and there. It has disturbed all calculations and thrown the ranks of other candidates into con- usion. The day opened with con- tinuance ot tnat denciousiy cool weather which has attended the cdn-- vention from the start. There was a greater rush in the Convention this morning than on any previous time. The approaches were packed for a quarter oi a mile in each direction . To the strains of ively music the delegates and spec tators marched into the Convention this morning all seemingly eager for the fray. Every indication this morning is that the fight for the Presidential nomination by the National Demo cratic Convention has narrowed down to two men, Bland and Bryan, the latter of whom by his eloquent speech made a sensational leap to the fore front from the rear ranks o candidates. -Harrity, Altgeld, Vest, Tillman, and Jones are of the same opinion. The fight will be close. Rector Green, of Iowa, ottered pray er. This is the first Democratic , convention convened that the army chaplains haven't requested the privilege of opening the sessions with prayer. The supposition is that the army chaplains were advis ed to remain silent by the adminis tration. Jones, of Arkansas says the convention will endeavor to nominate today. The party has na superstitution about Friday. The caucausing among the various delegations is earnest and very ex citing. The New York delegation claim that the gold delegates of many other states have agreed ta to bolt with them. They are act ually canvassing among them dur ing today's proceedings. There is a desire among the delegates that the nomination be concluded today. Harrity, who nominated Pattison, says he did so under instructions from the Democratic convention of Pennsylvania. The first ballot resulted: Ala bama 22 for Boies; Arkansas 16 for Bland; Delaware 3 for Pattison, L for Bryan, 2 refused to vote. Flori da, Bland 2, Bryan 1, Boies 1, Bat tison 1, Black 1, Matthews 2; first 9 votes for Blackburn, next for Boies, next for Campbell, next 2 for Black for Bryan, Matthews, next for Bry an, for Boies. Connecticut 2 for Russell, of Massachusetts, of its 12 it cost but 2; Kentucky 26 'for Blackburn; Lousiana 16 for Bryan; Maine 5 for Pattison, 2 for Bland, 2 for Bryan, 3 not voting. Michigan 9 for Bryan, 4 for Boies, 5 for Bland, 10 not voting. The vote was challenged, and roll of the State de manded; several of the Michigan delegates refuse to vote when their names were called. The roll of Michigan was called, 10 not voting; 7 for Bryan, 5 for Boies, 4' for Bland. Minnesota 1 for Stevenson, 2 for Bryan, 1 for Blackburn, 2 for Pattison, 4 for Boies not voting. Mississippi 18 for Brvan: Misouri - - . I i will register their will at the ballotaSi . box." Amid much confusior- -"neraf Bragg again rose and clainu the attention of the convention to sayr "With your kind permission we wilt send out and make search for another straggler, and if we aro isnessful Wisconsin may yet pleue it apport to another candidate. (Laughter and hisses.) At the close of the call of the roHT of States the convention, at 12:35 3. in.; adjourned till 10 this morning. The business began this morning" with the nomination of Robert E. Patterson, by Harrity. Pennoyer was nominated by Miller, of Oregon, and that closed the list of nomina-" tions. 34 for Bland; Montana 4 for Black burn, 4 for Bland; Nebraska 16 for Bryan; Nevada 3 for Mathews, 3 for McLean; INew Hampshire 7 oecnne to vote. 1 for PattisDn; New Jersey , declined to vote, (chrjers and hisse3) New York declined to vote, (great cheering).
