unlay night, in point of numbers, was {
one of the biggest affairs over held in :
tho city. Nearly 3,000 men and i
women sat down at long tables iu the '
various rooms of the big palace. |
There were all kinds of people there,
dressed in all kinds of clothes. There
were four Japanese and threo Chinese
present, but tho Cbineso wero merely
spectators, and sat up in tho second
gallery. They said they had como to
seo Bryan.
The main hall presented a different
aspect from that of the Metropolitan
opera house at the 810 dinner of the
Democratic club. There wero 110 flower
embellishments, but just great long
avenues of tables covered with plain
white plates.
The only ornaments were bunches
of celery and grauiteware coffee pots.
The boxes about the hall were festooned
with flags, with silkeu banners suspended
between the flags. At the back
of the stage were two Americnu flags
draped, one bearing tho portrait of
Jefferson and the other that of Bryan.

more he did this the more the crowd
cheered. It was n wild, frantic demonstration.
It lasted for at least live minutes.
ThIUh of Homocrucy.
Mr. Bryan began his speech as follows:
Mr. Chairman, Democrats, Ladies
and gentlemen?I esteem it a great
privilege to be permitted to attend
this, probably the largest bampiet
lever given in the United States. (Interruption
of cheers for Bryun.)
I appreciate the kindness which has
been manifested by your action and by

that the exportation of manufactures
in the fiscal year 180il is likely to show
an increase of more than $30,000,000

one-half that increase.
In the eight months of the tiscal year
for which the treasury bureau of statistics
figures are now available, the

$10,000,000 greater than in the corresrespomling

senate and the house developed the
fact that Taliaferro had a strong lead.
The result of the first ballot was as
follows: Taliaferro 4G, Pasco 3'J, Call
8, scattering 5, absentees 2.
Taliaferro bail a majority in tho
senate, but as a matter of course he
fell short of a majority in the house.
Some of his supporters fondly hoped
that he would carry both houses and
that the coutest would be settled on
tirst ballot, but those closest to the
Jacksonville man knew that there
would be enough scattering votes to
prevent an election the first day.
They had not counted on it nt any
time. They regarded Tuesday's ballot
of value chiefly iu lining up the
members of the legislature and in developing
the weak places.
While Senator Pasco himself hasbeen
very conservative iu his claims,
some of his supporters felt confident
that ho would lead on the tirst ballot.
There is no doubt that a good many
members would liko to see a deadlock.
On the other hand it is claimed there
are enough men voting for Senator
Pasco who are opposed to a deadlock
to vote foi Taliaferro simply to prevent
