Baltimore, June 87,?At 8 o'clock tonight it was the general belief among the 1 >emo?-r,iis assemhl?d in Baltimore that Clark's candidacy had spent Itself, that the nomination ol a genuinely progressive candidate was assured and thst the platform would be satisfactory In all Important re epects to the great body of the par? ty. When the convention opened for the night session, the huge audltorl : m was jammed with people who had flocked there in the confident he? llet that thi hemociat?. would at once get down to the business of nominating a candidate. Instead there came Mr. Hrpan's remarkable resolution that the -onventlon oust Ryan and lielmont from its meml r shlp and pledge itself in advar to nominate no candidate enjoyin* heir friendship or th it of J. i terpont Morgan. The elTect was paralyzing. A large section of the galleries hurst into applause but the uelegates were thunderstno k. Everybody felt that the fate of the party was trembling In the balance. Men who have been most resentful of Ryan'a presence here nevertheless united In feeling that Mr. Bryan's ac? tion was. to use one of his own )hrases, criminally foolish* and un? necessary. When Mr. Bryan con? cluded his argument for the suspen? sion of the rule* so that his resolu? tion might have immediate consider? ation, It looked as if the party were facing certain wreck. Then came Congressman Flood's speech. Its tone was independent and de? fiant to the last degtee. "We ask no concession of any kind of Mr. Bry? an." he declared. "We reject the Insolent proposition of the only man who Is bent upon wrecking the Dem? ocratic party." Yet even in the face of this ringing challenge Mr. Bryan withdrew the last clause of his reso? lution, demanding the withdrawal of Belmont and Ryan, and the resolu? tion was left stivgless. Even though he resolution might have 1 i en defeated but for the ac? tion of the Virginia und New York delegation there was a good deal of resentment at Mr. Bryan's course. The States first on the roll-call voted heavily against him. The leaders saw. however, that it would be a fa? tal mistake to refuse Its passage. Al*e in i < hi nged its \ote from no ?o yes. Illinois voted hi the atTlrm atlve. The voce of Virginia was an poun .1 from the speaker's stand eut of order and that of New York followed. The Situation w s saved, at l*e?t for the moment. What the ul? timate outcomt is to he no man can predict.

When the morning sun replaced the electric lights, a remarkable scene was disclosed in the Armory. Practically all the delegates Ware coatless, and many were nodding in their seats. Only n scant few were left in the galleries, but in the private boxes were many women who have followed the convention from the start, and their fresh, clean appear? ance was in Btrohg contrast to the bedraggled looks of the delegates on the floor. Last night's session was perhaps the most remarkable in the history of the Democratic party. At the opening only the usual flights of org? tory In the speeches nominating the candidates was anticipated, but Bry> . n'j? resolution denouncing the mon? ey trust, and J. P. Morgan. August Belmont and Thomas !*, Kyan by name caused wild excitement and tu? multuous scenes-. But when Bryan with? drew the part of the resolution alk? lag the ousting of Kyan und Belm >m as delegates he paved the way to vic? tory for hla resolution. The conser? vative leaders hustled around the hall giving orders to their followers vote for the adoption of th" resolu tion. all of them being In a frenzy to plgcatS Bryan and prevent him from bolting.

The VOte Of the last ballot stood: ciatk. r.iT: Wilson 8j54 Under? wood 138; Harmon 29; .Marshall 30; Kern 1; Bryan l. Not voting 2 1-2. Throughout the session there had been much speculation as to the "break." The first real break came on the tenth ballot, with ;i sensational jump Of the Xcw York Vote from Harmon to Clark. This carried the speaker to a total of 688 of the 1,088 delegates, but still left him 170 votes short of the two-thirds vote necessary t.? a choice, The balloting was continuing at an early hour this morning with the Clark forces outwardly confident and the Wilson managers doggedly claim? ing that the final "break" would come to the New Jersey governor. The Clark managers jubilantly claimed that t very Democratic can date who aver reached a majority in the convention succeeded In even? tually getting the required two thirds. Baltimore, June IS.?A monoton? ous su< ceaslon of roll calls brouht no nomination to the Democratic con? vention. Late tonight 11.80 o'clock ?the sweltering delegates still wen answering the droning voice of the reading dark. The results of the roll calls up to the tenth were dlSCOUraglngly similar so far as actual developments were concerned. None of the leading can? didates made any material gains or losses, There was no change of more that six votes in the totals up to that time. The Steady gains of Wilson had culminated with a count of ?">4 on the sixth ballot. (?n tin- seventh Wilson i< st l 1-2 votes. Bryan, Kern.

The heat in the hall was Stifling. Tin proceeding! dragged heavily. The delegates gossiped among them selvei or perused newspapers. The lenders of the various f ictions hur? ried about the hall. The air was full of rumors of "deals" and "trades." A shift that would throw a deciding vote to one < andldate or another waa looked for on every ballot, while othen expected an all-night session. The long predicted "break" In the New York delegation came on the tenth ballot when Murphy announced vi of tin 80 votei from that State for Clark. He got no further when i great remonstratlon broke out among the speaker's delegates and friends, While it was in progrt II there were several fisticuffs on the floor.
