WORK OF THE_ CONVENTION. Continued from First Pape. gone through the contest and no weak spots found in his armor, a man whose iiiKh character and ability rei-ommend him to the people in every part of this republic a man who possesses all the no ble attributes of a nobleman, preat enough and pood enough to he President of the t'nitcd States. With a platform that reads like a Bible, and with these iwo faithful i emocrats standing together, shoulder I0 shoulder, we can sweep criminal as sess on and McKinley hypocrisy off the 'ace of the earth. "Gentlemen of the convention, we now present to you as the choice of the Unit ed Democracy of our state that distin guished statesman, thal splendid, vigor ous reliable Democrat. cx-Vice President >dlai E- Stevenson of Illinois. (Great ami continued applause). Mr Williams spoke rapidly and briefly, and at his mention of Adlai E. Stevenson. Illinois was on its feet cheering wildly. Kansas was up, as was Alabama. Arkan sas, Minnesota and a large number of delegates in different parts of the house. The applause, while vigorous, was short, not lasting above a minute. Hoesinu Nominated Town©. When the roll call reached Connecticut, that state gave way to Minnesota amid cheers and cries of "Towne!'’ Roesing of Minnesota then took the platform to present the names of Charles A. Towne. Mr Roesinp said: "Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the convention: It is a great honor to be privileged to answer ■here' to the roll call of Minnesota. The Democracy of the North Star State has a candidate for the nomination of Vice Pres ent to submit to the right judgment of this convention. We come to you to pre rent the name of man worthy of the high honor of being placed upon the same ticket with the splendid champion of equal rights, whom you have named for Pres ident . •We Democrats of Minnesota, feel that tve have earned the right to participate actively and effectively In the national councils of the party. For forty years prior to 1898. the party had wandered in the wilderness, but as a result of the great contest of ’96, and because of the splendid accessions to our ranks in that campaign, we entered the battle of ’9B more aggressively than ever before, and at last realized in our own state that for which we had striven so long and elected e Democratic Governor. The veterans of those campaigns now stand shoulder to shoulder, determined that this year the electoral vote of Minne sota shall be cast for the nominees of this convention. This condition was ma le possible because of the brilliancy, cour age and' fidelity to principle of men. who in that memorable campaign, patri otically put country above party and severed their relations with the Republican party, casting aside personal ambition, prejudices and self-interest. ' “The man of this type, who perhaps, sacrificed more than any one else, who more than any other, was called to lay upon the sacriflcai altar a brilliant future filled with promise enough to satisfy the vaulting ambition, who had the courage to sever the ties of personal friendship that he might be true to his ideals of Americanism, is the man whom Minne sota to-dny presents to this convention, as its candidate for Vice President. "We come to you asking for your sup port for our candidate, not because he is from Minnesota, but because of the people; not because he is a product of the Northwest, but because he is an American; rot because he stands for any one issue, hut for all the issues that mean preserva tion of American institutions. We ask your support of him because he is a Democrat of Jeffersonian principle; a Democrat of the stern school of Andrew Jackson: a Democrat of the broad philoso phy and humanity of Abraham Lincoln: a Democrat in defending the flag of the Un ion. and in believing that to whatever land that flag may be carried, there the people over whom it floats are under the protecting agencies of the constitution. We present him to you not because he is rich in this world's goods, not because bis nomination would mean contributions, but because a beneficent God has endowed him wiih an eloquent tongue, brilliant mind, a splendid courage, a big heart, arm all the qualities of American manhood. We ask your support for Minnesota's able statesman, orator and patriot, whom I have the honor to place in formal nomi nation as the unanimous choise of the Minnesota Democracy, a leader of the people. Charles A. Towne. Mr. Boosing is a tall, powerful man with a voice befitting his stalwart frame. He could be heard in every direction. His first applause was gained w hen he spoke of Mr. Towne as a man who embodied the best characteristics of American manhood. When he pronounced the name of Towne. there was cheering from the Minnesota delegation, which rose to its feet waving flags in frantic fashion. The. galleries Joined in the applause with fervor, but there was less enthusiasm among tire men on the floor who had the voles. A stout woman in the noarthwest corner of the first gallery climbed upon a chair, holding in her left hand a colored litho graph of Bryan and Towne, while with her right she waved a handkerchief vigor ously. Congressman Shafroth of Colora do. a zealous supporter of the candidacy of Towne, climbed Into the gallery In an effort to get the woman forward to the platform, but she declined to come. New Yorker* Giclted. By degrees the enthusiasm, spread throughout the delegations and In a short time men were up in the states of Wash ington. Wyoming, Montana and South Da kota. but their number was much less than that which had risen to the name of Stevenson. While the galleries were en thusing over Mr. Towne, there was an ex citing time over at the chair of Mr. Hill. "You must take the nomination and save the day.” said Edward Murphy ex citedly. "I cannot, I cannot.” replied Hill, his fa'* white and set. "X do not want It.” "You must take It,” said Croker. Croker leaned over him, while Norman B Mack and Frank Campbell held Hill, one on each side, and urged him to ac rept. An excited man from New Jersey, shaking Ms fingers under Mr. Hill'e nose, shouted: “You can’t refuse, you can't. The party must have you to save the East." ”1 don't want U. You can name Stev enson. He is as good as I am,” said Hill, and then turning to Murphy and Croker and gripping his hands, he said: "Please don't force this, please don’t!” Mr. Murphy then gave an indication of an apparent scheme in the nomination, saying to the excited Jersey man: "You keep quiet and it will be all right. We have It fixed.” Meanwhile the confusion continued to be so great in the hull that, even after f'hairman Richardson had recognized Gov. Thomas of Colorado, to second the nomi nation of Mr. Towne, not a word of his speech could be heard by other delegates or the people In tha galleries. finally, after Gov. Thomas ha'd been speaking for a minute, ex-Senator White went to the stand, and In a ringing voice, •aid of order were not restored he would tnova that the galleries bo cleared. Hill Was Nominated. When the state of Delaware was called, the announcement was made that the state would yield to New York. Then tile result of the Hill conference was ap parent. A tremendous shout of applause swept the hall. Delegate Grady, one of the leaders of Tammany Hall, had already ascended the platform, and os he stepped to the front to address the convention the applause and cheering increased. Kls first sentence rang through the great building In trumpet tones. "On behalf of the democracy of New York, 1 present to this convention for nominee for the vice presidency the name of David Rennet Hill." It was dramatic In the extreme. The ef ventlon in a frenzy of enthusiasm. The scene which followed was by far tho most tempestuous of the session and the name of Hill echoed and re-echoed through the hall. State standards were seized and held aloft, and the convention was can opied with fluttering flags and handker chiefs. Delegates and spectators che red. and the great structure fairly shook with the noise when the galleries became in fected with enthusiasm. Mr. Hill, meantime, had worked his way through the surging multitude to the p’at- I form. As he ascended it. h:s hands were eagerly grasped, and lie was escorted to ihe seat of the iicrmanent chairman. He asked Mr. Grady to yield to him that he might make a statement, but Grady de clined. Judge Van Wyek of the New York dele gation hurried to Mr. Hill and began an earnest conversation with him, urging him not to dec ine the nomination which j evidently seemed to be within his grasp. Hill only shook his head. It was a pretty, even a dramatic, side play. All the convention was pulsating wi h enthusiasm and cheers, i When, finally. Mr. Grady was permitted l to proceed, he said thal Gov. Hill might decline, but decline or not, he shouted, New York's united and solid 72 votes ; would he cast to the end for David Ben j nett Hill. "Mr. Chairman," said Senator Grady, ''on behalf ©f she united Democracy of j the state of New York, I present to the : convention a candidate for Vice President, the name of David Bennett Hill. (After ! some minutes of uproarious enthusiasm, partial quiet was restored, and he contin ued:) ''The representatives of the Democratic party of New York state recognize their responsibility to the Democracy of the n- I tion, and believe they appreciate the ex- I peetaflon of the Democracy of the Union in the presentation of this honored name. There is no state in the Union with so much to gain through Democratic success, and so much to lose by Republican triumph as the state of New York. We are to elect this year not only the entire state ticket, from Governor to state engineer, not only, as in every other state of the t. nion, every member of Congress, but every member of our state Senate and every member of the assembly. "Desirous of strengthening our hand® at home, we desire more to strengthen the national ticket. And w r e stand here, sev enty-two as one, to pledge you the. elec toral vote of the state of New York if David B. Hill shall be the nominee of this convention for Vice President. This is no idle statement. We believe that David Bennett Hill by the side of William .1. Bryan, and standing upon this platform, ia by thousands and thousands of votes the strongest man that can be named to the Democracy of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. (Long continued ap plause and cheering.) V\ idle Senator Hill on the platform wait ed for quiet and for Senator Grady to fin ish his speech, he kept repeating: "I will not take it." To Senator Grady he said: "This is absolutely unfair. You should not do it.” Judge VanWyck kept urging him to ac cept and not make a declination. Hill was obdurate. His face was like marble, his hand trembled and he wiped the perspira tion from his brow. While Grady was speaking'. Hill asked to see Senator Jones, and when the Chairman of the Nationa: Committee came, the ex-Senator said to him: "Jones, stop this thing. It is not wise. It should not be forcted upon me. Help me stop it." Chairman Jones said: "I will help you. Go on and decline, and I'll help you our. I'li see the delegation leaders. You are right. Go on and make your speech." Then Senator Hill advanced to the plat form. He stood with head bowed a few minutes, expressive of gratitude for the cheers that rolled in heavy volume to ward him from every part of the hall, and when the chance came for his voice to be heard, he said: Wliat Hill Hnd to gay. Senator Hill said: "Mr. President and Gentiemc-n of the Convention (great ap plause): While I greatly appreciate the action of the delegation from New York, it is proper for me to say that it is with out my approval. (Cries of "No. no!") 1 appreciate also the manifestations of friendliness on the part of delegates from other states, but I feel that it is my duty to rise here and now and say to you that, for personal reasons and good and valid reasons, I cannot accept this nomi nation. (Great applause and cries of "No! No!” and "You have got to take it!”) I have not been a candidate. I do not desire to be a candidate, and I must not be nominated by this conven tion. (Renewed applause and cheering, and cries of “You must! You must!") “There are gentlemen present whose names have been or will be presented to this convention, one of which names is stronger than my own. (Cries of “No! No!") There is no difficulty whatever with making a satisfactory choice, and I must not, in Justice to them, permit my name to be used a single moment fur ther, and this convention should proceed to nominate a candidate from some of those who have been named. In justice to me. in Justice to them, in justice to the party, in justice to the ordinary pro cedure of this convention, it Is unfair to me to place me in this position without ny consent. (Great applause.) He was frequently Interrupted by pro tests, as he insisted thal he could not ac cept. From New York came cries of “Yes, you can.” When he said clearly and firmly: “I did not come into this convention as a candidate, I did not expect to be a can didate, and cannot accept the honor,” again came the cries of “Ye*, you can,” in greater volume than before, but they had not the slightest effect. He left the platform, cheered to the echo and surrounded by bis friends, who pressed forward to grasp his hand. Hutchinson of Georgia. When Georgia was called Mr. Hutchin son of thal state, who spoke briefly and clearly, delivered a short speech in sec onding the nominalion of Stevenson. "Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Convention: 1 represent the delegation of the Empire State of the South; the state that under any and all circum stances will roll up a large Democratic majority, regardless of what the plat form is or who the candidates are. (Laughter and applause.) "Fellow Democrats, this being true, we have only one purpose in view in this convention, and that Is to aid you. If pos sible, in naming a ticket with which we can win In the coming campaign. (Ap plause.) In this matter we have no way of Judging tho future but by the past, and Judging by the past, I desire to s cond the nominallcn of a man who has been elected to the vice presidency of these United States, and who, in my judgment, if nominated by this conven tion tc-day, will meet with similar suc cess in November, lie Is a man true and loyal to h!a party, both before and after election. When he filled the post of as sistant postmaster general of these Unit ed States he never failed to recognize with promptness and precision the dis tinction between a Democrat and a.Re publican. (Applause.) He la a mnn who belongs to no wing or faction'of his party and, if nominated, will be the candidate of the entire people. He Is a conservative man and ulwass speaks and defends the platforms *nunelat(d by his party. (Ap plause) He Is an old-time. Bimon-pure Jeffersonian Democrat, loved by ail, and commands the napect and admiration of the American p ople. If he Is placed upon our ticket by this convention, with the matchless Bryan as our Itader, they will carry us to victory In November, (lloud applause.) “The gentleman lo whom I refer and whose nomination we dolre to second Is the Hon.

Williams Nnmrd To**'ne. “The name which seems most desirable in the interests of the party,” Mr. Will iams declared, “in connection with the vice presidential nomination is. that of Charles A.

Cordial applause was given Mr. Towne’s name, but i< was tempered by such re murks from among the delegates as “We want a Democrat,” "This is not a Popu list convention,” .and other expressions that raised a question of Mr. Towne’s de mocracy; Money Seconded Stevenson. Senator Money of Mississippi rose when his state was called and made his way to the speaker's platform. He declared the ticket should be composed of men, both of whom had been Democrats in almost every political affiliation. He, therefore, seconded the nomination of Adlui E. StPvenson. "Mr. Chairman and gentlemen,” said Senator Money: "This is a Democratic convention. I voluntarily make that im portant announcement because I feared your opinion on that subject may have been disturbed by some nominations ami speeches made this morning. (Applause and cries "Good!

"The eloquent gentlemun from Georgia said that Adlal Stevenson of Illinois be longed to both wings of the Democratic party. He does belong to both wings of the Democratic party, and he does not belong to any wing of any other party. If we cannot furnish Democrats, let us dissolve the association and go home.

His eulogy of Teller and Towne celled forth a burst of applause, and his sentiment that even If they had been Re publicans. their support of silver and Mr. Dry an entitled them to seats in this con vention. was the signal for more enthus iasm.

Oattis, a son of North Caro lina. presented the name of Col Julian Carr from his state. He spoke briefly and escaped the usual reminder conveyed in the call of time. “Mr. Chairman and gentlemen,” Mr. Gattis said, “the delegates from tho great istate of North Carolina have commission ed me to place in nomination before this greatest Democratic Convention that has ever been held in the limited States, a son from the Tar Heel state, a man whose Democracy requires no sponsor her*-.

Louisiana was the next to go for Hill, her delegation giving the entire vote of sixteen. Michigan, which had all along strongly approved of Towne. gave him but five votes, the remainder going to Steven son. The shout from Missouri, "One for Hogg of Texas." called forth loud laugh ter and applause. New Jersey’s twenty votes for Hill call ed forth cheers, and then came "New York." The reply. "New York casts her entire seventy-two votes for the Hon. D. B. Hill,” increased the wave of ap plause. "Pennsylvania's 64 votes /or Stevenson,” caused the adherents of the Illinois man to shout until the rafters rung. The Hill people cheered wildly when Tennessee went solid for the New York man, and the Stevenson people answered their cheer when Texas came to their man. Tennessee was up as soon as the vote from Hawaii had been announced, and de clared that It changed its vote to Steven son. The convention recognized the sig nificance of the action and cheer after cheer went up. Stevenson was nominated now without a question and ail over the hall chairmen of delegations were on their feet shouting and waving their arms in the effort to secure recognition from the chair In order to change their votes. Washington was first to secure the priv ilege, and the teller's dry "Washington changes its entire vote to Stevenson!” pro voked wiki enthusiasm.

The cheering while the first changes were being made was enthusiastic in the ex.retae. A profession was fqritvd to march around the hall, hut the long ses sion that had preceded the nomination of Stevenson and the exciting scenes of yes terday had worn the delegates out, and the parade short in length and still shorter as o is line cf march, and the delegates confined them selves for the chief r* rt to rfit*ring.

Delegates and alternates stood on their chairs, and throughout the galleries people were standing and cheering. Practically the entire delega tion from New York, headed hy Mr. Cro ker, left the hall. Women and children and other spectators who had been stand ing in the aisles during the proceedings, and a lot of special officers and pages, swarmed over the delegates' section. When order had been partially restored, the floor section of the hall bore more the appearance of a miscellaneous gather ing than of a political convention. Scrgcant-at-Arms Martin, his assistants and the police had the utmost difficulty In clearing the aisles, but the people were finally forced to their seat* or out of the building. As soon as quiet was restored, J. Mil ton Turner, a prominent negro of Mis souri, the chairman of the Convention of Afro-Americans, which only recently nom inated Mr. Bryan for President, was In vited to the platform and briefly address ed the convention. Judge Gray of Texas, chairman of the Committee on Credential*, announced that the contesting delegates from the District of Columbia. Indian Territory and the territory of Oklahoma, each had been giv en a half-vote for the districts they rep resented. However, as these delegations had been unable to effect proper organi zation on account of Internal differences. Judge Gray moved that the matter of the election of a national committeeman for theae districts b* referred back to the democracy of the districts. The motion prevailed, but subsequently, on motion of Chairman Jones of the National Com mittee, was reconsidered and laid on the table. The usual formal resolutions of thanks 4o Kansas City and to the officers of the convention were adopted amid the great est confusion, and then, at J:2l o’clock, on motion of Chairman Jone, the Na tional Democratic Convention of 19® ad journed.

Mr. Bryan reiterated to i day what he has said before, that he was unable to outline his programme in the slightest way. Nor was he able to say when a conference would be held In the matter.

He supported the ticket In ?596 and can defend the platform of 1900. •Towne would have strengthened the ticket in the stales where there is fusion between the Democrats, Populists and Silver Republicans, but the support given Mr. Htevenson shows the convention ( hough 1 Mr. Stevenson the more available man. The choice has fallen upon one who Is In every respect worthy of (he position." Mr. Bryan then sent the following mes sage: “Lluooln, Neb. July 6, I9oo.—Hon. Adlai E.

Adlai Stevenson.” Mr. Bryan said he expected a number of visitors, some prominent in the coun cils of the Democratic party, beginning to-morrow and continuing next week.

Cleveland. 0., July 6 —Senator Hanna, when asked for an expression on (ho Democratic platform, said: “From wha( I have read, T can see that it Is a cunningly devised scheme to catch Ihe unwary and the unthinking votara. I think the most labored effort In their doc ument was to create a difference between expansion and Imperialism. It Is rather amusing lo see their line of demnrkat'.on; they apparently rely upon Ihe constitu tional question to establish that difference as to whether the flag follow© the consti tution or the constitution follows he flag. We are iierfectly willing to mce ttbat is sue on their own hypothesis. Bo far as the free silver plank Is concerned, X think all Republicans will be satisfied with that. It Is certainly satisfactory to me. VISITED TUB PRESIDENT. Roosevelt Wn* Given n Great Ova tion nt ronton. Canton. 0., July 6.—Gov. Roosevelt ar rived In Canton this afternoon.

Roose velt wsk kept busy bowing his acknowl edgments. , Tfie yard of the McKinley residence and the streets adjacent were literally parked with humanity when the Governor alight ed from his carriage and walked briskly toward tho house. Then a tremendous cheer burst forth from the assembled mul titude. President McKinley was standing on the porch, waiting with outstretched hands to greet his associate on the na tional ticket. When they shook hands the scene wots insplrtng, Indeed. The assemblage was clamorous for a speech, and when some thing like quiet w.-is restored, the Presi dent introduced Gov. Roosevelt, and the Governor responded In a few words. President McKinley and Gov. Roosevelt were In conference most of the evening, but nothing could be learned as to the matters discussed.
