Bryan's friends were able to save from the wreck of fusion in the people's party national conven tion which nominated Thomas E. Watson, of Georgia, for president, and Samuel W. Williams, of Indi ana, for vice president, was the state of Nebraska, his home, and Minne sota, the latter represented by only one delegate, a Johnson man.

George A. Honnecker, of Jersey City, was chosen permanent chair man. Nebraska voted for Jacob S. Coxey. J. H. Ferris, of .Toilet, 111.; and J. W. Forrest, of Albany, N.
