William Jennings ftryan, of N.-Iriuika, the young clnanlc featured orator ftom thu plains of the liatte. swept the convention off Ha fret tiHlay and wm nominated for pres ident on tin. fifth ballot. I'ollllcal his tory furnishes no precedent for today's proceedings In the Coliseum, either as a grvut ii- tm nlur show or aa a re sult of the deliberations of the conven tion of a great party. I'.ryan la hut 3d yrars old, younger by ten year than sny man ever nom inated for the chief magistracy of the Amerkan rrpuhllc. He came Ilka a young Lochliivar. out of the West, which hsa never before nominated a prcaldentlal candidate, to woo the bride for whoa hand the country's greatest chieftain have been suitor. Ills name was barely mentioned In the prelimi nary skirmishing. Four days ago when the convention met he was not entered In the Hat, but yesterday he made an Impaaaloned speech and stirred the con vention to frenzy by his eloquence. That speech overthrew the diligently organised work of weeks and months for other ssplrant for the honor. The cauae of allver was uppermost In the mind of delegates when they as sembled here. For the cause they de liberately placed the rsstern wing of the party on the altar, now, when the convention la coldly analysed It Is seen thst the support f Wand and Holes as candidate was never solidly grounded. It was city aa the representative of an liuuc that they rallied delegates to their standard, und even after many of them had attached themselves to the fortune of one or the other candi date they apK-ared reslleaa end In an Instlctlve way to be casting about for s new Moses. Far-seeing, staid and seasoned lead ers of sliver, realizing that their new creed would alienate the eastern Dem ocracy, believed In an alliance with the silver Republican beyond the Mis souri, through Teller's nomination, but the rank and file would have none of It. Yesterday when Bryan made a speech the delegates suddenly turned to him with an Impetuosity that nothing could balk. They wanted a tribune of the people; they felt that they had heard an eloquent young Nebraskan who set their Imagination on Are. If he had been placed In nomination then, the convention would have stam peded as It was today. Some of the gray-haired leaders saw and feared It. Last night when he was placed In nom ination, those who thought they had found their candidate, were confirmed In their opinion. The idea that Wil liams, of Massachusetts, conveyed In his seconding speech, that It needed the strength of youth to endure the hsrdshlps of the new cause, that a young man should wield the sclmetar of an Indignant people, sank home. Here, as Williams said, was a Cicero to meet the Catallnes of today. Lead ers who doubted the wisdom of nom inating so young and so Inexperienced a man. tried to check the stampede by adjourning to today. They hoped a night's reflection would suffice. At the suggestion of adjournment there was a rebellion. The motion was declared carried against a storm of opposition from the Bryan enthusiasts, who want ed to nominate their candidate at once. A night's rellectlon only made them the more determined. This morning when the convention met to ballot Bry an showed second on the first roll call. He had already overhauled Boies. Only Bland was ahead, and it was a strug gle for the Missouri farmer to get the 238 votes which he cast. The stam pede began on the next ballot. On the fourth ballot Bryan took the lead and Bland fell back, hopelessly beaten. The nomination was made unanimous on the next ballot. Some have sought to And In the nom ination of 1SS0 of Garfield, who was not a candidate, a parallel with Bryan's nomination today, but there Is no par allel. Gartleld was only nominated af ter one of the hardest and most pro tracted convention contests of the ceni tury- Grant, Blaine, Edmunds, Sher man, and Washburn were then con testing for the mastery, and after thirty-five ballots the rival leaders and the convention turned to Qarlield, who had electrified the delegates by his matchless oratory and commanding presence. Today tho support of other candidates simply melted away and Bryan won without a struggle. On the first ballot Bland got 253; Bry an 105; Boles 86; Matthews 68; McLean 54; Pattlson 59; Blackburn 83; Pcnnoyer 10; Tillman 17; Stevenson 2; Teller 8; Campbell 2; Russell 2; and Hill 1. There were 186 gold men who refusede to vote. They declined to participate In lh nomination on the platform which had been adopted. Later It was real ized that the gold men would prob ably place another ticket in the Held, or If they did not actively oppose the nominees of this convention which was J to follow, they would passively at least give aid and comfort to the political enemy. Pennsylvania alone of the gold atstes continued to participate In the inx'wdlng. Phs cast her 64 votes for Governor i'attison to the end. Most of the other gold men who voted cast their ballots also for Pattison. but there were scattering" votes for Steven son, Hill, fluHsell and Campbell. On the second ballot Alabama sought to check the rout that had already be gun by changing her vote from Holes to I'land. but liryan wss overtaking him With giant Strides. Bland gained 48, while liryan advanced VI. Holes was the principal loser. His vote dwindled to 37. On the third ballot Colorado gave up all hope of Teller, the mention of whose name hod been cheered and hissed by the galleries, and Oregon gave up Pcnnoyer. In the Ohio dele gation the liryan forces lacked but seven votes of a majority, and there was open rebellion In Illinois and other states which wanted to swing Into line. On the fourth ballot Alabama, the first state to vote, headed the stam pede to Bryan, Idahc, California and other states followed. The revolt In the other delegations spread, even among those bound by resolutions of Instructions. Kansas, Illinois, Ohio, and even Iowa were tottering. On the fifth and last ballot, Kansas went over. Illinois and other states came tumbling along In her wake. When Ohio was reached Bryan had 446 votes of the 504 required to make the two-thirds ma jority of those voting. Chairman White had ruled that two-thirds of those vot ing constituted the two-thirds majority under the rules. Ohio hesitated. The Bryan men In the delegation demanded poll of the vote.' The friends of Mc Lean saw that the end was In sight, and McLean himself mounted a chair. He withdrew his name as a candidate and cast the 46 votes of Ohio for Bryan. This gave him i'i2, twelve less thsn enough to nominate. Montana chang ed her six votes to Bryan, and Okla homa followed with her six. To the territory of Oklahoma, there fore, tn-longs the honor of nominating the IVmeocratlc candidate for presi dent In KS4, as to that of Arlsona be longed the honor four years ago. Of course other states then scrambled over each other. Governor Stone, of Missouri, w ithdrew Bland's name, and Senator Turple, of Indiana, withdrew thut of Matthews and on his motion the nomination was made unanimous. Mrs. Bryan,-after the nomination of her husband, said: "We thought this morning that Mr. Bryan would be nominated. Our friends had worked very hard all the morning and Mr. Bryan was given many pledges last night from states that had other candidates. I am very proud of my husband's success, but I think he has earned It. I don't want to talk for publication because I real ly have nothing to say except that I thank the delegates for their support of my husband." The leaders of the national silver par s' t and Populist party who are In Chi cago declare that their organisation will endorse the nomination of Bryan at the convention to be held In St Louis July 23. Many of the prominent men of these parties have been here during the convention watching the proceedings and In an unofficial way working for silver. Among them are Senators Jones and Stewart, of Ne vada, Congressman New-lands, of Ne vada, and many lesser lights. An ex cellent understanding exists between tho two organisations and their con ventlons are appointed for the same day In St Louis, with the end in view that they might unite upon a candi date, or, if the Democratic organisa tion should nominate a man satisfac tory to them, that they might endorse the nomination. So far aa the men now In Chicago are concerned the latter action Is a settled fact The national silver party was organised to give a place to men who had left the existing parties because neither of the .two great ones were committed to free sil ver. In a quiet way It has been form- ing an organization in all the states which Its leaders expect will prove a strong ally for the Demeocratic party in the campaign if It does not become merged Into that organization. Senator David B. Hill and William C. Whitney left Chicago at 5:30 today for home. Governor Flower and a large number of the New York dele gation remained to attend the conven tion tonight. Senator Hill was asked If he had anything to say, and re plied: "I was a Democrat before, and I am a Democrat still." Senator HUI said his absence from the convention could not be ascribed to mean that he bolted the convention. AGRICULTURE. Washington, July 10.

GENERAL BRAGG IS DEFIANT lie Rote is the Cos.estios oa a Qsestios ol State rrivilege to Record the Actios of a few ol His Collcsijaes. Chicago, July 10. The crowds almost stormed the Coliseum tonight In anti cipation of another oratorical display, such ss they listened to last night They were doomed to disappointment as the leaders bad decided, after con sultation, not to proceed with the nom ination for vice-president tonight, but all unconscious of their determination, the public pushed on to their places in the galleries. They cheered and shout ed, while the band played "Columbia, Gem of the Ocean." "Dixie." "March ing Thro' Georgia," and some popular ballads. At 1:55 Chairman White, by dint of much rapping, managed to bring the convention to order. After making the formal announcement. General Bragg, of Wisconsin, appeared on the stage to make a personal explanation. The old veteran with grizzled beard, who has aroused Democratic conventions In the past to a high pitch of enthusiasm, received no ovation tonight He came to enter a protest "I rise on a question of state privi lege," he began, and reminded the Southern members that they knew what that meant Some gentlemen, he complained, bad during the last ses sion. In the absence of the delegation for consultation, stolen the state colors and Joined the Bryan parade, and he wished to put the record right by hav ing it understood "that we trailed not the Wisconsin Badger behind the can didate of the majority of this conven tion." Hisses and a few cheers followed this defiant stand and the chairman de clared that he would entertain no fac tional question, and Introduced Gov ernor Stone, of Missouri. "The work so far done by this con vention has been so well done that it will meet the enthusiastic and Instant approval of this nation," he began. Important work was yet to be done, he continued, and in order that no mistakes should be made In the selec tion of a vice-president he moved they adjourn until 12 tomorrow. This w changed to 10 o'clock, and with great confusion on the floor, the convention adjourned. IN NEBRASKA. Omaha. July 10. All Nebraska Is ex cited tonight over Bryan's nomination and informal celebrations with bands playing, horns tooting and excited Democrats yelling In the most enthusl astlc manner, are common throughout Nebraska. When the bulletin announcing Bry an's nomination was posted an old gray haired man threw up his hat, and this was the signal for others and hats were thrown In the air, men hugged each other, and such a mighty cheer went up as has never before been heard here. NEW SAN FRANCISCO RATES. San Francisco, July 10. The long and bitter rate war between the South ern Pacific, Railway Company and the Oregon Railway and Navigation Co. has been settled.

Sproule and Judah, of the Southern Pacific, to General Manager McNeill at Portland, The new steamer rate is 12 for first class cabin and J6 for second class tickets. The rail rate will be 119 first class and $10 second class. TO DEFEAT BRYAN. Columbus, Ohio, July 10. Ex-Congressman Outhwalte has Just returned from Chicago. He says It is settled that the gold Democrats are determin ed to see that the candidate of the Chi cago convention is overwhelmingly de feated. THE MARKETS. Liverpool, July 10. Wheat, spot, firm; demand, poor; No. 2 red winter, 5s Id; No. 1 California, 5s 24d. SHIRT-WAISTS. The newest shirt-waists are tucked across the fronts the depth of a yoke, and have a corresponding number of tucks running around the tops of the sleeves in a direct line from those in the yoke; and a very novel one has the whole sleeve tucked upside down in half-Inch tucks, every tuck falling out side slightly, from Its own weight. There Is a new lining called ribbon cloth, which has a pretty gloss, and comes In all the delicate colors, and Is very suitable for using under organ dies and lawns, when taffeta Is too ex pensive. The blouse fronts and puffed sleeve tops of organdy and lawn gowns are given a novel effect by Insertions of lace run In diamond form all over them. It requires dainty fingers and patience to do the work, but the effect Is so pretty and unique that It pays. From "Review of Fashions" In Dm- orest's Magszlne for July. A PHASE OF WOMAN SUFFRAGE As Looksd at from a South Carolina , Woman's Point of View. (By Virginia D. Young.) Inasmuch as every woman, a well as every man, has a spark of the God- j breath we call Soul, whose growth de pends on expression by recognition,; there seems to me a very cogent rea-j son why she should be endowed with ; the ballot as a means to this spiritual j expansion. Woman, with her present limitations ! in South Carolina, reminds me of a bit j of sweet majorem, the std of which has become embedded under the brick with which we border our garden beds.. The seed has come up under these ad verse conditions, and In Its effort tow ard the light twisted Itself partly from under the brick; but the twist between j the root and the body of the plant In terferes mightily with the perfect de velopment of Its life. So under the brick of conservative prejudice, the powers of our women, though fostered by the new opportuni ties of open colleges and universities, suffer from a mental twist that pre vents perfect growth. Since the very foundation of freedom is the power to stand alone, we have to contend with the Inculcation of the opposite idea into the feminine mind from infancy described by the words "dependent and clinging." It seems queer that we do not take In the anal ogies by which nature writes her ob- Ject-lessons. In the green world of the j tnvi to the importance of their geo forest we see that the tree which leans graphical situation, ard the part that is the tree that Is weak, and which j ,he moutn 0f this great waterway will never attains the height and power of ; plllJ, , tne uture commerce of nations. its neighbor, erect and solitary; while all clinging things blight and dwarf the objects about which they twine. Surely If we congratulate our girls of today on their upright strong fig ures, we may also glory In their power to stand alone. Emerson a "Mush of Concession tie- j proJect, nave been set up and knock scribes tbi attitude of the disfranchls-; ovn agaln, until only a few true ed woman, who "has all the rights she adherents remain to see their fondest wants," and is not ashamed of her In- hopes realized for Astoria. This Is the difference to the want of all rights vear hlch is the beginning of the suffered by her sisters of a common hu- i end of those great works necessary to manlty. A natural offshoot or the cling- Ing woman is the echo tribe of women. There is nothing that more quickly palls upon the mind and dazes the ' brain than to have one's words taken ' up and repeated In accents feebler and ; more monotonous by people who are too lazy and negative to think for j themselves. And what chance is there for the bat-1 tledore and shuttlecock of conservatism when one party Is the mere echo of the other? The brave heart of the true woman that holds fast to Its convictions and declares them, despite ridicule and op position, in the face of the sun, by that very act reaches a vantage ground of larger soul development. A BOOM FOR PORTLAND. Oregontan. The contract for building the railroad from Astoria to Goble has been award ed to Honeyman. DeHart & Co., of this city, for about $500,000, and bonds for the faithful performance of the work, in the sum of 1100,000, have been fur nished and accepted by the Astoria and Columbia River Railroad Company.

Both the states of Wash ington and Oregon are Interested In its success, and should take an active part in the festivities which will take place at the gateway for the outlet of the products of tho great Interior coun try of both states. There will be a greater significance In the carnival than the mere pleasure which It will afford to all at the time.

The rail road between Astoria and Portland la but the opening wedge which makes possible the securing of more Import ant enterprises. What can more fit tingly celebrate these events than grand water carnival, the presence of the great battleship Oregon, and fetea aa games Innumerable. People must see to believe, and with uuch attrao- ttons upon the program, there can be no doubt that thousands of strangers will visit Astoria and the lower Col umbia and for the first time get prac tical knowledge of what there really Is here. The committees In charge of sub scriptions reported last night that they were meeting with better success than was anticipated. Several hundred dol lars were added to the list yesterday, and they are confident that by tonight almost the entire amount needed will have been raised. The full list of subscribers and amounts donated win be published in tomorrow's issue.

It is not strange that everybody Is making sacrifices in order to contribute to the enterprise. The firemen are completing their ar rangements for the tournament which will constitute the principle entertain ment on shore during regatta week. New companies have been heard from, and it is certain that there will be lively contests for every prize to be offered. Excursions will probably be arranged to Fort Stevens, Seaside, and Fort Canby,' during the hours between events, and it has been suggesteed that the transportation companies between Astoria and the different points of In terest about the harbor agree upon a schedule of reduced rates. It Is thought now that there is little doubt but re duced rates will be made by the up river boats and railroad lines to the Interior. A large number of calls have yet to be made by the soliciting committee, and the members of that committee urge the people to meet them half way. Their work Is hard enough and there Is no longer any reason why anyone should hesitate about contributing.
