BRYAN AND KERN
ARE NOMINATED
Eoth Nominations Made Unanimous
Bryan Demoastation Lasts
Over an Hour
KERN IS A CONSERVATIVE
Opposed . Free' Silver in 1896
But Was Loyal Party Man
and Supported Bryan.
Eryan and Kern. These are tbe
nominees of the democratic party
for the ofJCco of President and Vice
President of the United States
made by the national democralio
convention at Denver last week. A
dispatch of July 10 say:
Several hours of Btirring oratory
and unparalled demonstrations
culminated in the national demo
cratic convention at 3:45 ft'clock
this morning, when William Jen-'
ninj?3 Bryan was nominated for
President on the first ballot. The
vote was:
W. J. Bryan, 892 J.
George Gray, of Delaware, 59J.
John S. Johnson, of Minnesota,
46. ' , ,
Not voting, 8.
Bryan was placed in nomina
tion by Ignatius J. Dunn, city at
torney of Omaha, Neb. His elo
quent eulogy of the great common
er evoked a mighty roar of approv
al. Pandemonium reigned when a
great oil painting of Eryan was
unveiled on the platform. Simul
taneously a white dove was re
leased, and the bird sailed out over
the heads of the vast throng.
Bryan's nomination was second
ed by several democratic orators,
first of whom was ex-Senator J. M.
Gearin of Oregon, who took occa
sion at the same time to advocate
a stringent exclusion law.
When the result of the first bal
lot was announced, Hammond
moved that Bryan's nomination be
made unanimous, u nentne mo
tion was put it was received with
one mighty "aye." A solitary (
"no" was voiced by J. M. O'Con
nor of New York. A feature of
the convention was the demonstra
tion for Bryan at the close of
Dunn's nominating speech. The
tumult lasted ope hour and
twelve minutes.
Later in the day John W. Kern,
democratic national committee
man from Indiana, was nominated
for vice-president on the first
ballot. When a partial poll of the
vote gave Kern the necessary ma
jority his nomination was made
unanimous.
John W. Kern has been a prom
inent figure in Indiana politics for
the past twenty-four yearsc He is
a graduate of the University of
Michigan, and betore his entrance
into politics was regarded as one
of the brainiest young lawyers of
the state. He was elected court
reporter, has served four years in
the state senate and has been twice
honored by his party with the
gubernatorial nomination. Once
he received the complimentary
vote of the legislative minority for
the United States senatorship.
When free silver was the issue
Kern opposed the adoption of that
plank by the democratic party and
was a pronounced gold man and
predicted defeat for the party if it
should endorse free silver. How
ever, when the state and national'
conventions spoke for free silver,
Kern, who has always been a loyal
party man, lined up, and did his
utmost to elect Bryan.
