CARRIES DAY ON FIRST BALLOT
Delegates Shout and Wave Flag* for
Over an Hour—Bryan Listens
Over Long Distance.
Denver, Colo., July 10— (3:45 A.
M .)— W illiam J Bryan has ju»t been
nominated for president of the United
States by the Democratic national
convention. It was a sweeping vic
tory, the vote being:
Bryan .......................................... BMA
Johnson ........................................ 46
Gray ............................................ 5oJ
Not voting .................................... 6
The nomination was immediately
made unanimous, and at 3:40 A. M
the convention adjourned until 1 P
M. today.
The defeat of the “ allies’" was more
than a defeat; it was a rout. After
all their boasting of their ability to
withhold from Bryan more than one
third of the vote on the first ballot
and thus prevent his nomination with
out a struggle, all they could muster
was a beggarly 103i votes out of a
total of 1006 .
New York remained silent as to its
intention until the last moment, then
cast its entire 7» votes under the unit
rule for Bryan, after a poll in which
Parker, Sheehan and Chairman Con
ners sullenly refused to respond.
The nomination was the closing
scene of a night of the tn>>si delirious
excitement ever witnessed even in a
Democratic convention The wait for
the report of the committee on reso
lution* was prolonged until midnight,
and after an hour of freelance ora
tory the delegates decided to get the
agony of nominating speeches over as
soon as possible. They therefore sus
pended the rules and called ior noun
nations before the platform was re
ported.
I L. Dunne, of Omaha, electrified
the convention with a lurid panegyric
on the Commoner, and at its cone hi
sion every Bryan delegation joined in
a most tumultuous outburst of rn
thusiasm. They tore the state stand
ards
from
their
fastenings and
marched around the hill, beating
drums, blowing horns, clashing cytn
bals, bearing down every person wh<
came in their way, women included
They massed the standards around
the speaker’s stand, and waved them
so recklessly that they tore the dec
orative'eagles from their perches.
This din continued to rise and fajl
by turns for an hour and 14 minute
in a vast building packed so densely
with humanity that it was impossible
for any person in the galleries to
move in his seat and with many of
the aisles and doorways jammed so
that ingress or egress was impossib'e
A lesser demonstration greeted the
nomination o f Governor Johnson, o f
Minnesota, by Winfield Scott Ham
mond. On an ordinary occasion this
demonstration would have been con
sidered very much out of the com
mon. for it continued for 14 minutes,
and the cheers and yells made up in
earnestness what they lacked in vol
ume.
Judge Gray’s name was greeted
with a spasmodic outburst of cheering
from the scattered delegations which
supported him, hut bv this time every
bodv was too much exhausted for any
prolonged demonstration
The adoption of the platform was
marked by an outbreak of decided ill-
feel'ng A resolution in favor of the
celebration of the centcnarv of Abra
ham Lincoln's birth had been declared
carried unanimously, when I. I.
Strau. of Maryland, attempted to of
fer an amendment. His voice was
drowned by hoots and when later, in
seconding the nomination of Bryan
he tried to explain his intention to
move the addition of the name of R
E Lee to the resolution, he was
how'ed down so furiously that he wg*
forced to abandon the attempt to
make a speech.

Bridge Goes Down.
Cologne, July 10.— The new bridge
under construction over the Rhine at
Cologne fell yesterday, and many of
the workmen engaged on the strue
ture lost their lives. Up to noon 14
bodies had been recovered, and nine
men had been taken from the water
seriously injured. The scaffolding
supporting the powerful crane used in
• he erection of the central span of the
bridge collapsed, and the crashing
down of the span carried down several
other spans. Several workmen were
thrown into the river. Some of them
are still underneath the scaffolding.
