In the alleged stand for principles
rather than men1 the most striking
turn of the convention was on Bryan
The most bitter things were said of
his leadership in the committee on
resolutions when it was insisted that
his name should not be mentioned
and that there should be no refer
ence to either of the national plat
forms on which ho made his cam
paign After this plan had been
agreed on ono of the 21 members of
that committee offered a minority re-
port reaffirming the Kansas City plat

Bryan and he received only six votes
out of 950 delegates on his substitute
for the platform preamble A few mo
ments after the platform was adopted
ono of these six delegates called at
tention to the fact that pictures of
other Dempcrats were displayed in the
hall and none of Bryan as heretofore
He started to carry a amall banner
with Bryans picture on to the plat
form The aisles were ordered cleared
and the picture did not reach its desti
nation It was trampled under foot nnd
spoiled during- the wild demonstra
tions when Kilbourne was escorted
Into the hall
