EIGHT HOURS' YELLING BY 10,000 DEMOCRATS.

New York, July 11. At the close of insane and hysterical din, lasting from 7 last evening till 3.30 this morning, Mr. Bryan was nominated at Denver as Democratic candidate for the Presidentship. The actual vote was: Mr. Bryan 892'/ 2> Governor Johnson 4ti, Judge Gray 50y|>. When this result was announced the leaders of the opposition, in accordance with tradition, moved that the nomination be made unanimous. The scenes at the Democratic Convention were unparalleled even in American political- history. For more thaneight hours 10,000 people yelled themselves hoarse, executing Comanche warwhoops and performing on tin horns and megaphones, while bands vainly tried to drown them by playing patriotic airs. Only at brief intervals was there the slightest lull, during which a. few sentences of one or other of the speakers who roared into the cars of the stenographers could be heard. Tier upon tier of the gallery was filled with agitated women in white, and coatless and hatless men waving Hags and banners, while below the thousand delegates capered, marched to and fro, and sang and shouted.

No one pretended even to listen to the "platform,'' the party's confession of faith, the recital of which occupied over an hour. At the end scores of visitors clambered on the tables in the body of the hall. In the frightful crush several women were carried away ingJlr. Bryan listened all night by telephone to'the orgy of noise. When the result was announced he issued a declaration, a la Mr. Roosevelt, that :f "ejected he would never again be ,a candidate. A sleepv and hollow-eyed convention reassembled in the afternoon and completed its duties by nominating Mr. Kern, of Indiana, f-r the Vice-President - ship. He is regarded as a tower ot strength in his own State, of which lie was the last Democratic Governor before it went Republican. The Tainmany leader made no nomination from New York.
