"Under the rules, nominations for

dates are now in order.”
There was a momentary silence,
UDctured by the announcement:
"The state of Alabama is recog
used."
A tall and swarthy Alabamian stood
n his chair and by pre-arrangemont
nswered:
“Alabama yields to Ohio.”
This was the signal for the recogni

Governor Roosevelt, of New York, is
the Republican nominee for vice pres
ident of the United States. “Teddy”
was given the nomination without tho
asking. His victory was complete. No
other name was mentioned. The con
vention went wild for him from the
beginning to the end.
Before order was restored after the
nomination of McKinley, Mr. Lodge
warned the noisy and demonstrative
throng that there was some vital busi
ness to be done, and announced that
the call of states would proceed for
nominations for the vice presidency.
As the name of Alabama was called
on the roll of states for the nomina
tion of candidates for tbo vice presi
dency the announcement was made
that Alabama would yield to Iowa to
present, a candidate. Chairman Lodge
then recognized Colonel LaFayette
Young, one of the Iowa delegates at
large, and editor of the Des Moines,
Iowa, Capital.
He withdrew the name of Dolliver
and offered that of Roosevelt, The

The Florida state Democratic con
vention nominated Hon. William S.
Jennings as candidate for governor.
On the thirtieth ballot u stampede

ing jumped up from 38 to 1221. His
strength was drawn from Beggs, My

Jennings in the stampede. Myers
dropped out of the race after the
thirtieth ballot, though no formal
withdrawal was made.
On the forty-first ballot Mays with

third ballot Beggs withdrew, and on
the forty-fourth ballot William S. Jen

hassee, was chosen the Florida mem
ber of the national Democratic corn
tee.
This is the last state Democratic
conventiou that will be held in Flor
ida for many years, probably, as the
platform adopted provides for prima
ries for United States senator down.
BRYAN’S OPINION
Of the Republican Platform Adopted
At Philadelphia.
When asked his opinion of the Phil
adelphia platform, Colonel Bryan said:
“The Philadelphia platform is the
best evidence thus far given of the de
ception attempted by the Republican
party. Taking in connection with the
speeches made at the convention, it
shows that the Republican party’s
platform of 1896 was a deliberate
fraud as far as the promises of inter
national bimetallism was concerned;
that the party’s attitude on the trust
question is insincere and that the
party is not willing to state its atti
tude on the Philippine question aud
iuvite the judgment of the people.”
AMERICANS FORCED BACK.
Filipinos Successfully Resist Detach
ment of Forty Men.
A Manila special says: A detach
ment of forty men of the Fortieth regi
ment, Captain Thomas Miller com
manding, left Cagayan de Misamis, is
land of Mindanao, scouting, June 13th.
During the morning of June 14th they
encountered a strongly ambushed and
entrenched force of the enemy.
The Americans’ attempts to charge
were frustrated by the’ Filipinos’ pit
falls and troops. The advance line
consequently was under a heavy lire
in front and oh its flanks, and fell
back on Cagayan. The American loss
was nine men killed and two officers
and ten men wounded.

Southern railway officials who could
be induced to talk about the wreck
near McDonough, Ga., Saturday

ness in the solidity of the roadbed or

which the train was plunged. Super
intendent Jones, of the Macon divis
ion, on which the wreck occurred, re
fers to the afi'air as “one of the inevit
able acts of God.”
