The band atruck up and the friends of Mr. Bryan believing this to be an effort to smother their abouta, at onoe yelled louder than before. A man oil mbed to the chairman's table and began to waive bis arias up and down, shouting unintelligibly. In a moment Mr. Williams caught sight of him and grabbing the en thusiast's trousers hauled blm down. A wild fremy of yells followed the act of a Nebraska delegate who seized the Nebraska State sign and waived It high In the air. Delegates from Kentucky, North Dakota, Iowa, Missouri and Montana took tbe cue and catching up their State signs hastened with them to the Nebraska delegation where they waved them in a circle around the Nebraska sign. Daniel C. Oampau of Michigan, a gold Democrat, did his be t to lead the enthusiasm by rushing up the steps leading to the chairmanHt plat form and waiving his bat wildly. Tbe Parker men at once sought to offset the Bryan demonstration by cheers on their side. -The men of tbe south came to tbe front in tbla effort, and tbe Georgia delegation, who carry a blue banner inscribed, "Georgia Par ker delegation” every time they march into the hall, at once waved it high and started to tbe platform. An enthusiastic delegate from South Carolina caught the sign of bis State from its staff, tore up the steps and after brandishing the red and white disk widly, shook It at the Bryan and Rearst men and then placed it flat against tbe blue banner ss though be was nailing tbe flag of his country to a masthead. The Parker men came up swiftly, and before the South Carolina man had lowered bis hand, the men from Arkansas. Ala bama and Pennsylvania were turning over chairs and pushing through the aisles on their way to his side. After Pennsylvania came Mississippi, New Jersey, Tennessee, Indiana, Louisiana, Texas, Connecticut and Virginia. The demonstration bad resolved lUelf into a Parker outbreak more than a testi monial to Bryan and It so remained to the finish, which was 18 minutes after Mr. Bryan entered the hall. COMMUTES ON CREDENTIALS. It was Anally ascertained that the report. Just at this instance, Mr. Bryan arose In his place and began making bis way to tbe platform. As soon as Ibis was observed, up went the oonvention again on its feet, and tbe cheers arcwe with fresh vigor. When Mr Bryan mounted tbe platform young DeFord, one of tbe secretaries, got a table next to the presiding i dicer and throwing both arms into tbe sir shout ed and waved his arms frantlcxliy and another outburst of applause occured, but It was of short duration. Mr. Bryan’s object In going to tbe platform was to present a minority report to that of tbe credentials committee. He Is a member of the committee by proxy bearing that of Delegate Casper of Nebraska. When Mr. Bryan was fully on tbe platform the spectators In the galleries to the rear gave him a cheer. He turned around and made many bows. Mr. Head, cbairman of the commit tee on credentials, entered tbe hall and made his wsy to tbe platform, and read the report. Tbe report de clared In favor of seating all the dele gatee who were on tbe temporary roll call, with tbe exception of Alfred Orendorff, who was substituted for Duncan O. Best In the Twenty-first district of Illinois. Mr. Head was heard In greater quiet than bad exist ed up to the time he commenc3d U epead. No sign of approval or disap proval greeted tbe decisions of tbe committee. He announced that a mi nority report had been submitted In the case of tbe District of Columbia and he understood one was to be sub mitted In tbe Illinois cases. A delegate from Vermont moved that tbe chairman order the galleries cleared unless better order was pre served. Cbairman Williams at onco de clared that be would do that exact thing unless the people In tbe gal lerles refrained from disturbing tbe convention. When Mr. Head moved tbe adop tion of tbe report Cbairman Williams asked If there was a demand for a^di vision on tbe question. Mr. Bryan en deavored to address the chair. Delegate Keys of California, how ever, made a louder demand and was recognized to move the seating of tbe con tee tan ts from tbe District of Co lumbia. He was at onoe followed by Delegate Grady of New York, who made a vigorous protest against that part of the report relating to the Philippine Islands. Delegate Surto of the Philippine delegation requested to be heard. . Chairman Williams ruled that be had no right to recognize him. This ruling seemed to meet the approval of,tbe convention, as cries of "right,” “right” were general. The galleries began a fresh clamor and threats to clear them were again made. Tbe chairman then put the question as to the adoption of the report of the committee on credentials, with the exception of those parts on which a separate vote was reqmated. The report was adopted in this condition. A separate vote was then demand ed In the case of tbe District of Co lumbia And in the Illinois case. Mr. Scbultels of Ifae District of Co lumbia offered an amendment provid* Ibg that tbe contesting delegates from tbe District of Columbia be seated with a half vote to each. This was voted down. The report of tbe committee was adopted without further delay, and Chairman Williams turned to Mr. Bryan and said: "Tbe chair now recognizes Mr. Bryan In the matter of tbe contests from th* State of Illinois.” Tbla wu enough to start up the Bryan sheer again, but Mr. Bryan at ones hsckdfaed for silence with bis right hand, while he held his minority report on the Illinois contest In his tall.--'—-.... had t&a cheering i report.

Mr. Bryan concluded reading report at 4.It, It having taken blm S5 minutes. Durlmr the latter part of tbs report he was frequently Inter rupted by cheers from the galltry. He concluded by asking that 16 min utes on each tide be allowed for the hearing of the contest. BRYAN'S OPPORTUNITY. Word that Mr. Bryan would take this opportunity to make his groat ef fort before the convention bed got abroad and tbe great aodienee rustled with expectation as the Nebraskan arose and faced It. -—* In opening bis speech, Mr. Bryan announced tbat he bad come' to the oonvention with the Idea of bringing up any questions that could or wohld create diversion. He was greeted by cheers, and when he declared tbat be hoped and believed tbat the conven tion would select a ticket which oou’d be supported by a united Democracy, the cheers were redoubled. Au outburst of approving yells greeted his anoouncement that tbe convention In Illinois was conducted by men who were on a level with train robbers. Becoming intensely interested In his address, Mr. Bryan, finding tbat his cuffs interferred with the free movement of his hands pulled them off, and proceeded. He declared tbat two years ago, John P. Hopkins bad pursued a course c ntrary to tbat followed in tbe Illi nois oonvention, and did not dare to follow precedent this time, besides be would bave been repudiated, if he had done so.. As. Mr. Bryan concluded, he was greeted by an outburst of cheers. Mr. Brysn occupied 20 minutes and asked to be given ten minutes to con clude after tbe other side had been beard. The cheering that followed his conclusion lasted several minutes add tbe audlenoi showed a disposition to become unruly. "1 shall ask tbe police to attend to persons persitlngln tbe disturbance,” declared Chairman Williams. Then pointing bla finger over to the left, he demanded: "Officer, go over to tbat West Virginia banner, and if that man there does not desist from his disturbance take blm out.” Delegate Menzles of Indiana, a member of tbe credentials committee, committee on credentials was ready to was then recognized in bpposltlon to the minority report. Mr. Menzles was bitter at the outset. When he criticised Mr. Bryan for his interfer-, enoe In Illinois affairs, there were htoU, hhscs and applause Inter mingled. • Mr. Menzles shouted that he would be heard, and tbe audience woyld bave to remain all the longer in "this sweat-box” if It ptrs s'ed in disorder. Mr. Menzles concluded amid mingled applause and cries of protest. He bad spoken Just a quarter of an hour. The chair then recognized Frank B. Quinn of Illinois, who was frequently intenupted by tbe galleries and there were loud calls from the delegates to have tbe galleries cleared. He de clared himself a Democrat who be lieved In the right of the majority to rule, and one who did not call another Democrat a thief unless be knew him to he one. He was, be said, defeated himself In 1896, but did not for that reason arrogate to himself tbe right to mix up in other people’s quarrels all over the country. He declared that Mr. Bryan had read to the convention as hit minority report the brief of one of the attor neys for the oootestints. Mr. Quinn was so frequently inter rupted by the gallerl ^s that Chairman Williams was forced to appeal to the convention for qukt. Delegate Ricba dson of Alabama, rising and addressing tbe chair, de dared that it was ev d nt that an or ganized attempt was being made to suppress tbe facia in the case by pre venting Quinn from being heard and the chair again threatened to have galleries cleared. "How about gavel rule?” shouted a voice from the rtar of the ball, allud ing to one of Mr. Bryan’s sentences. "You want to know about gavel rule? J'll tell you about gavel rule,” replied Quinn. Before be could con tinue a disturbance started in tbe balcony just back of the alternates seats and one disturber was seized and ejected by two city policemen. Mr. Bryan then arose to conclude and was again given a warm welcome of cheers. Raising his band he made tbe request tbat the convention should not take his time. Immediately there was silence. When declared he bad beeo In tbe committee room at 3 o’clock in tbe morning and knew more about tbe de tails of the case than those who ac cused him of Ignorance, he was cheer ed to the echo. Mr. Bryan spoke In his most earnest manner. He concluded with an ex- presion of willingness for unity, ad- ding: "But God forbid that It should be under a soiled banner.” A snappy outburst of applause fol lowed, but waa not prolonged, tbe whole body, delegates and spectators showing plainly tbe weariness born of the intense heat and long session. A vote was then taken which resulted in 647 to 299 against the minority re port. It was exactly 6 o’clock when de mand was made by the chairman for the report of tbe committee on perm anpnt organization. Representative Hugh Dismore of Arkansas, chairman of the committee, made the report. Tbe mention of tbe name of Champ Clark as permanent chairman was re ceived with applause and the report was unanimously adopted. Chairman Williams appointed Sen ator J. W. Bailey and Representative Burke Oockran of New York to escort Mr. Clark to the chair. - With his hat in his hand, Temporary Chairman Williams' presented Mr. Clark as permanent ehaivwAn and as Mr. Clark bowed bia acknowledgment he was heartily welcomed.

The exciting cqn teste during tbe section of the com mittee were the talk of tbe morning. When the delegates rose Friday morn ing the first Inqury waa as to what bad the committee done, and It was learn ed tbat Bryan had scored tbe money plank and secured a modification of tbe tariff plank. Tbe exciting scenes which marked the closing of Thursday’s session were In tens! tied and Interest in the conven tion and demand for tickets Increased over previous days. BRYAN'S GREAT VICTORY. At 4.40 o’clock Friday morning the committee on resolutions voted the gold standard plank out of tbe Denob cratlc platform by 25 to 15. This was tbe third victory for Bryan during the all nigbtsesaion of the committee. He made two successful efforts, early In the evening, and secured modification of tbe tariff plank on two seperate votes. . j < • The main fight ifekupon the propos ed^] noCmet ax plank, providing for an amendment to tbe constitution to meet the adverse decision of tbe Su preme Court upon the Wilson law. It was upon this amendment and the gold plank, the two being In conjunc tion, tbat Bryan made his strong fight, Williams of Mississippi first c ffered tbe Income tax amendment which Imme diately was antagonized by former Senator Hill, wbo said tbat with tbe plank New York could be carried by tbe Democratic nominees. Williams withdrew bis amendment, saying tbat he was seeking harmony apd an adjustment of all diffarenoea with a view to succeeding on a Demo cratic platfoam. Bryan offered an income tax amend ment and spoke In favor of it, asserting that, while votes might be loss among tbe very rich, tbe Democratic party ought to consider the great mass of the people, who bear tbe burdens of taxation and the expense of the gov- tmnrenli , ^ Senator Daniel vigorously denounced Bryan’s course and said he wad tired of being in the minority. Senators Bailey and Tillman were willing to defer to Hill’a statement and thought it would be unwise to insist on the in come tax amendment as to lose New York meant defeat. Bailey asked unanimous consent to have the income tax and the gold standard planks dropped, but Hill objected and a kng discussion followed. He said tbe gold plank was far more important and asked that tbe party cease discussion and agree upon a platform in harmony with the views of the party generally. Hill uiged that If the gold plank was omitted the party would be in a false position. Through no fault of the par ty ^conditions had changed and it had been proved that tbe gold standard was tbe rolution of the question. Brysn .replied at length to’Hi 11 and Insisted that, in view of the past de clarations of tbe party, the gold plank would now alienate thousands of Dem ocratic voters. Thomas of Colorada als) made a strong argument against the gold plank. After further discussion the gold plank was defeated. After a brief recess, during which the membero refreshed themselves with c ff e at a nearby restaurant. Bryan got tbe floor and presented In formally a financial plank, inteodfed as s substitute for tbe gold plsnk. Tbe committee then took up the trust p’ank, and this was tbe subject of considerable discussion. Brysn of fered an amendment, declaring In specific terms for prosecution of tbe trusts and outlining tbe manner In which it should be done. This was Vbted In by 23 to 20. ‘ Tbe currency plank offered by Bry an wa3 referred to tbe subcommittee with authority to draft a financial plank for submission to tbe full com mittee. Later tbe platform was submitted to the coov< ntion and adopted unanimously? ^^be -nomina tion of candidates was-then In order.

Just ss it reached tbe platform two young ladles, dressed In white and carrying mammoth bou quets of roses and ferns, were assisted to tbe presiding officer's table, and tbe huge portrait held for a moment between them, face to tbe delegates, and the State banners - which had formed the precession were held aloft and maned around it. Rythmic about* of “Parker,” “Parker^ “Alton B. Parker” were started and caught up. At tbe expiration of 22 minutef tf- Torts were made to still tbe demon at ration. A megaphone shout near tbe platform was begun for “Parker, ’' Parker,” “Alton B. Parker,” how- ever, and things again broke loose. Tbe demonstration laated 25 min utes. . The Parker picture was carried from the platform and placed near New York'a position In the hall.

A ■even-foot portrait picture of HearSt waa taken to the platform, another of similar s’zi was raised in the gallery back of the platform, while numerous smaller portraits were shown on long poles raised from among the delegs Moos. The parade around tbe hell, which had been can led mi during the pre ceding demonstration, was quickly uo dertaken, California leading off and Arizona, Nevada, South Dakota, Washington and Wyoming, join’ng in. Tbe banner of t he Illinois delega tion was-carried Into the Hue but the majority of the delegation did not fol low It. The gallerfc a Joined lentily in the Hearat applause, making per haps a stronger demonstration than bad been made for Parker. In marching around the kail many of the Hesnt enthusiss’s stopped to shake hands with Mr. Brayan, wbo re mained standing during the early part of tbe demonstration. After a seve e fit of coughing, however, Mr. Bryan took hla seat. The band, nothing, if not Impartial, played for Hearat, “America,” and followed it up with “Dixie, ”aa It had done fur Parker, and the result was the same, with the exception that tbe Heerst people dii not attempt to sing. A red-beaded enthusiast in a gray suit was lifted up on the shoulders of several men to tbe left of tbe speak er’s platform, and cheered wildly for Heant, but he was soon compelled to climb down for bis bright-colored hair waa too conspicuous a. target for the multitude of paper wada tbat came in from all sides. Water was thrown at him, and in a few minutes he scram bled deapeiately for release. When he reached the floor, he remat ked, ' ‘That water felt good,” but he de- Clioed to give hla name. —-——‘ — A second gentleman with red whisk ers mounted a chair and attempted a speech. He, too, was pelted do*n and a policeman took him to the outerdarknesa. _ “ANwratt Wnan. • Meantime the demenstration for the editor-candidate went on, rising and falling In degree. Fully a dozen timis the line completed the circuit, and then the California banner waa Car ried up to tbe speaker’s platform aodf the other States masked their emblems at the foot of the steps. A young woman riMj up In seotijn L and waved a small flag. She brought to her side 50 other people wbo jo ned in be£ tribute, ard for a time, she was the heart of tbe storm centre. When she sat down tbe end began to come, 30 mlnutos after the fllist cheering began. When a half hour bad elap ed, Sen ator Bailey of Texas took the prodd ing offloer’sa chair, and began rapping for order, but It was some time before order cuuld be bad. Many of the del egatee and others began to bias In dis approval but this only served to spar on the Heerst rooters and a battle of sound ensued. "Tba State of Colorado,” called the clerk. Tbe response was immediate and Thcrflas O’Donnel began a speech seconding the nomination of Judge Parker. The height of exhaustion prevailed as Mr. O’Donnell proceeded, and appproval c(f bis utterances was confined to his baudclapplog. When Mr.' O’Donnell referred In complimentary terms to' “the great leader of the past two campaigns,” there was a demonstration in which the name of Bryan was heard above tbe uproar. He invited the “prodigal wbo had been feeding on husks” back Into tbe fold, for he said, “we nqed all kinds of Democrats In this campaign.” His mention of Parker’s name was greeted with shouts and applaused. "Colo rado onoe more joins bands with New York,” he concluded, “and tbe echo comes back ‘Parker, popular rights and victory!’ ” After ike applause which followed O*Donnell’s conclusion, Oonnellcut was called and Walter S. Cummings sec onded tbe nomination of Parker. Many of tbe spretators began leav Ing tbe floor and galleries and the tramp of their feet was a new dUturb leg element, hi Irrirg Delaware followed Mr. Cummlnga, and nominated Judge George Gray. He began by saying: Delaware iffers to you her noblest, bravest and best.” and a cheer went up led by tbe Delaware d-legation. Before Mr. Handy had closed the disturbance became so pronounced that he cloeed amid brief cheering.

Hearst is W there were “The Democracy of Jefferson; the Democracy of Hrya&V' was a phrase from Mr. Darrow, which struck tin convention. After tbe about which followed, a voice from the gallery rang out "Three oheefs for Bryan.” The cheers ware given with a will Mr. Darrow’a speech enlivened the wearying crowd. He waa followed by W.

I desire to oast tbe aspersion back Into big teeth.” Mr. Blnrhart denied for hmiself and all other members of the Iowa delegation tbat any money had been received by them to induor them to cast their vote for any candidate. A sequel followed quickly, the dele gation meet ng and voting to ur s?at Wright as the Iowa member of the committee to notify the presidential nominee. In the words of one of the delegation tbe action waa taken be cause of the “imputation cast upon the dele^ktlon” by Wright. ■ When Kan as was called J. G. John son seconded the Hearst nomination and was followed by David Overfneyer of Kansas, who placed Gen. Nelson A. Miles in nomination. Vigorous applause followed Mr. Overmeyer’s mention of the name of Gen. Miles, but when he concluded his addre-s, after naming bis candidate, he was frequently Interrupted by the galleries, and ths applause at tbe con clusion of his remarks was shortlived. Delegate Rosin of Missouri then in terprsed * motion to limit seconding speeches to one minute, but Dockery cf ~Mlrsou?f Yfi3 GredV of New - Yorif objecting, the limit waifplac.d at four minutes. J. W. Orr of Kansas thereupon briefly seconded Parker’s Domination, as did Thomas H. Ba’l of-Texas. ^.Liqislaqa seconded the nom nation of Parker by a simple announcement. Maine gave way to Missouri and Chimp Clark placod in nomination Senator Francis M. Cockrell of Mis souri for th3 presidency. Parker Is Chosen When tbe ncm'nUlon dosed at half past five o’clock Saturday morning after an all night session, Judge Paiker was nominated for President of the United States by tbe convention In abort order. There was but one roll- call, and so dec! Ive was the result that those States which bad voted against Parker’s nomination changed to him, thus making bis nomination unanimous. Tbe scene was dramatic in tbe ex treme.* The darkness witnessed tbe gathering of the Democratic-boats, white broad dayllvbt saw tbe close.

An eitsnslon was made in the case of William J. Br^ao, wbo in one of the most drama tic situations ever wltnes-ed in a polit ical gathering, addressed the conven tion ynd concluded by seconding the nomination of Senator Francis M. Cockrell, the favorite candidate from Missouri. Bryan received hit third great ova tion accorded during the oonvention. His speech was an imparaioned appeal to the delegatee to give the party a candidate who bad voted the D mo- cratic ticket in 1896 and 1900. He apake In behalf of the Nebraika dele gation, which be said had no candi date to present or favor to ask^but wanted a candidate wboae nomination wouhlNOt be a triumph of one faction over another.

' The waving of flogs In the galleries and by the dek^ gates made the scene impressive.'' The enthusiasm evidently convert ed Bryan to the idea tbat Cockrell’s chances for the nomination were good, and ■'ton after gaining tbe floor he made ah electrifying effort for the anti-Parker forces to rally.* The con vention offices and polioe were power less to control the crowd, as a seem ingly hypootic spell egpeast over tbe oonvention by his speech, but In the end,, the Parker forces were unshaken^ The balldt for president gave Par ker 658 votes of the 667 needed, and result could be aanooaoed, sion Handy off Senator tilting idled again tbe dying for Parker. ^ *We tbe most persistent and aggressive op ponent of the trusts and all the hard ships and evils attendant upon their oppressions of the people. ’Phe De mocracy of Florida desires the nomi nation of Hearfit, because we belftve tbat he le the only man who can carry Into the Democratic oohnas the tal States of New York, Illinois and Indiana, which are essential to Demo cratic sucrose, and Democratic success can only rescue the south from the degradation of Rooseveitism and no- pplam.
