But the methods and practices of politicians vary. Some believe In striking from the ahoulder in an endeavor to carry a convention by atorm, othera rely upon appeala to reaaon to stem a 'tide running strong against them. To know the temper of a conven tion Is the aim of all orators and spell binders and it waa probably as much to teat the aplrit of the convention that Mr. Bryan today made hla fight against "train wreckers, thugs and thieves," aa ha called the Hopkins, gang, for It gave him large opportunity to put In most attractive phrase the principles of his politics. . -Cheers for Bryan. When Bryan entered the hall shortly after the convention waa called to order, his advent was the signal for a mighty fine display of pentup enthusiasm. Way down In the hall, - far to the left of the speaker's stand, Phillips of Nebraska caught up the standard and waved It frantically over hla head. Hardly had the name plate of the Antelope state been jerked from the floor when Kansas and North Dakota followed with their stand ards, grouping about Nebraska. Then Mis souri's flag wsnf rhtV the air, and-the Blue Grass state, not' to bo outdone In chivalry and loyalty to their leader, repro aented by OUIe Jamea, next to Cy Sulloway of New Hampahlre, the blggeat congress man in the house, had Its banner jammed up- against' Nebraska.- With every acces sion the noire grew louder' and when Ar kansas and Little Rhody joined Minnesota and North Dakota In .their efforts to climb to the top of -the pyramid tnade by the atandarda of these states, pandemonium enaued. C. J. Smyth, ths chairman, Smyth, the -cool and dignified, was yelling with might and main, urging hla delegation to renewed effort to make holes In the at mosphere. Casper, Defraribe and Thorap aon gave gallant support to Phillips, and then Hawaii came in ths center with tta Benson. Leather Bells.

Over there New Tork and Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Massachusetts sat mute, watching the efforts to stamrede the con vention, for that was plainly what all the demonstration waa Intended for. Far down to the right a buaky Georgian had hold of a beautiful ailk banner upon which waa Inscribed "Oeorgla-Parker Delegation," and he waa shaking it with all hla force. Two of three men attempted to take the banner away from the man from Georgia, and be resented the Interference. Then came a break. Many handa went up In the Georgia delegation, the banner waa anatched from the Bryan enthusiast and a dapper young fellow, with fire In his eye, rushed to the stage planting the Georgia banner with Parker's name thereon full In the face of the convention. In a moment the standards of South Carolina, New Jersey, Indiana, Pennsyl vania and New York were on the stage and the applause for Bryan gradually died away. The Georgia banner had stopped the convention In Its flight. Delegates were re-called to their senses and compara tive quiet enaued when Bryan took hla place on the platform to make his final stand for "honest democracy." On the roll call Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota voted for the minority re port, while Wyoming and Kansas divided, Bryan's associates In these delrgatlona contenting themselves with voting their convictions without attempting to dictate to their fellows. Queatlon of Appetite. Speaking of the demonstration, a dele gate said after it was all over: "Bryan has the hearts of the delegates, but they are so hungry for spoils that he cannot control their appetites." And that just about sizes the situation. During the next day or two Nebraska will be largely represented at the conven tion, a host of democrats having come In from the state this morning. J. H. Ed mlsten, ex-natlonal vice chairman of tHe popu'.lst party, la here from Springfield, 111., where he assisted the popullsta In nominating Tom Watson. Tim Mullen of O'Neill and Senator Brady of Boone are also here from the populist convention, and they knocked elbows with their dem ocratic brethren aa If they really enjoyed the association. , Ex-Governor Boyd was supremely happy today over the treatment accorded Mr. Bryan. But ha was not alone In his glee for there was John G. Maher, Lee Herd man, Dr. Hippie, Frank L. Weaver, presi dent of the Jacksonlan club; J. A. C. Kennedy, Otto Bauman and Judge Shoe maker, all wearing seven by nine smiles with the Parker label blown In every bottle. The Nebraska delegation haven't yet realised what atruck them today. They are dreamers still. W. H. Thompson tonight said: "If Parker is not nominated on the first or second ballot he will not be nominated at all. He will not be nominated on the first nor on the second ballot If those who are pledged will keep their word. If Parker is nominated, and I don't admit he will be, I wilt go home and work for the ticket If the convention gives us anything like a fair platform." - ' E, C. 8. .

Ha wilt fcave my proxy as member of ths committed and I tell you he Is loaded for bear." , "How were you treated In the commit tee?" I naked. "Got treatment at all," he answered in. a toil of disgust.- "We were outvoted with paWful uniformity at every turn by about S3 0o 12 or U. .Those fellowa are hell on constituted authority and precedent and regularly and they don't care a damn for common Honesty. But Mr. Bryan will show them up when he geta the floor." In arurWer to another question, Caaper continued: ' "I think the apeeoh this afternoon will be Mr. Bryan'a only apeech before the convention. He has been preparing to 1st loose on this queatlon, while I understand the resolutions committee la progressing In aubsUtntlal harmony. Bryan aald as much wfn he visited our credentials com mittee lfle last night, and declared he waa working with Senator Newlands, and John Sharp Williams and expected a platform that wo Old not be too objectionable. That may leave It ao that wa can atlll stay in the part. If they don't change the gospel, you know we can stand a change or preaoh sra once In awhile if they leave us enough to rest our faith on." VICTOR ROSEWATBR. Resolutions Committee Is Busy. ST. LOUIS, July 7. Ths subcommittee on resolutions continued to work on the platform today but was alow In getting to busalnesa. Mr. .Bryan and one or two other members were absent but the com mittee decided to proceed In their abaenoe with ths conaideratlon of the queatlona In which they are mostly conoeroed. Accordingly an Irrigation plank presented by Mr. Newlands, was taken up and after Ita merits was presented by the ' Nevada senator It was tentatively accepted. The Consideration of the proposed statehood declaration was then entered upon and the Queatlon discussed at length. A plank for statehood for eaho one of the territories was Inserted. The committee agreed upon a . plank de claring for the election of senatora by di rect vote of the people. Mr. 8. H. Cowan, of Fort Worth, Texas, was admitted to present the following pro poeed plank In ths Interest of cattle ahlp pera; We favor auch additions to ths aot to regulate commeroe as Will afford to the public and to shippers a speedy, adequate, effectual and- inexpensive remedy agalnat unreasonable or otherwise unlawful tras portatlon chargea. Mr. Cowan was permitted to address the committee for five minutea in support of ths proposition, saying among other thlngar . The raHroad Intereata have combined to such extent. In making rates and otherwise, that little or no competition exists and this has made it possible for them to increase ratea from time to time so that they ars generally higher than at any time in many years past. Mr. Bryan want direct from the conven tion after adjournment to the room of the committee on resolutions, and Immediately entered upon ths work on hand there. Boon after Mr. Bryan's arrival, , Polios Commissioner W. A. McAdoo, of Hew Tork, was admitted for consultation on a declara tion of promotion In the army and navy according to seniority. W. J. Bchuthela called upon the members of the committee to urge upon them the importance of a vigor oua protest agalnat the nonanforcement of the eight hour law. , Continuing hla apeech, Mr. Bryan said that the trust pronouncement of 1M0 had mat with the general approval of the party and that unleea something better Is pro aented he would Insist upon the Kansas City plank. f.l Tonrtat Sleep.r Yankton and return.

' Aa soon aa this waa ob served up went the convention again on Its feet and ths cheers arose with freah vigor. When Mr. Bryan mounted the platform Young DeFord. one of the aecretarlea got on a table next to the presiding officer, and, throwing both arms Into the air, shouted and waved hla arms frantically, and another outburst of applause occurred, but It was of short duration. Mr. Bryan'a object In going to the platform was to present a minority report to that of the credentials committee. He la a member of the committee by proxy, bearing that of Delegate Caaper of Nebraska. Asks to Dlscnaa Report. Mr. Bryan concluded the reading of the long report in the thirty-five minutes and asked for fifteen minutea besides to dlacuaa the report. Mr. Bryan occupied twenty minutea and aaked to be given ten minutes to conclude after the other aide had been heard. The cheering which followed hla conclusion lasted several minutea and the audience ahowed a disposition to become unruly. "I shall ask the police to attend to persona persisting In the disturbance," declared Chairman Williams. Then, pojntlng hla finger over to the left, he demanded: "Officer, go over to that West Virginia banner and If that man there does not desist from his disturbance take him out." The chairman's firmness had the dealred effect. Mr. Bryan, during the course of his re marks, said:' In the state of Illinois the majority was not allowed to rule. That convention was dominated by a cllaue of men who delib erately, purposely, boldly trampled upon the right of the people of Illinois. My friends, the evidence shows that no band of train robbers ever planned a robbery upon a train more deliberately or wlin less conscience than they did (aPDlauae). and these men who planned it and who carried- It out have the audacity, the impu dence and the Insolence to say that because they certify that what they did was regu lar you cannot go nenina tneir certificate. Their whole conduct shows their purpose waa conceived In sin, born in Iniquity and carried out to the destruction of demo cratic hopes In that atate. Give the demo crats of Illlnola something to hope for. Don't tell them that, when thev ro to a democratic convention, they mut go armed. as to war, prepared to ngnt tneir way up to the chairman of the convention. The re publican party may atand aa a representa tive of physical force If It will. Our party stands for government by the conaent of the governea. That convention waa ao openly, ao no toriously, a gag-rule and gang-run con vention that two of the men who had been out and had made a canvass in the State for governor refused to be candidates before that convention: a.nd I honor Judge j'reniiss or cnicago ana mayor uroiiui ui Jollet. (Applause.) Mr. Menslea Very Bitter. Delegate Menzles of Indiana, a number of the credentials committee, waa then recognized in opposition to the minority report. Mr. Menxles waa bitter at the outset. When he criticised Mr. Bryan for his in terference In ' Illlnola affairs there wero hoota, hisses and applause Intermingled. Mr. Menslea was apparently aomcwhat nettled by the Interruptiona and dlaorder, which were rather marked In contrast to the cloae attention that had been given Mr. Bryan. He shouted out that he would be heard and the audience would have to remain all the longer In "thla aweat-box" If It persisted In disorder. Several tlmea as Mr. Meniles spoke ho was interrupted by calls and cries front the balcony Just opposite the speaker's atand, while another gallery group to hia left was frequently disorderly. Mr. Menxles concluded amid mingled ap plause and cries of protest He had spoken Just a quarter of an hour. - Mr. Menslea labecait , with the statement that though he could not cope with the gentleman from Nebraaka in oratory, he had an advantage In a knowledge of facta. He heard the facta aa a member of the committee on credentlala, while Mr, Bryan waa abaent from Its sessions. Handles Brynn Without Gloves. After reviewing the case briefly, Mr. Man lies said: Ths gentleman from Nebraska dealt In atrong language and posh I e assertion, I think, unsupported by facts of evidence. I would like to know, however, great aa he Is, what has constituted him a court of appeals to psss on a contest in the state of Illinois, and wherein his wisdom Is su perior to that of the commutes on cre dentials of thla convention (AppViufj.) Great aa he la, he la not ao omniscient that he can know a case without ever hav ing heard it. The gontleman from Nebraaka forcibly said he believed In the great elementary principle of democracy; that the majority should rule. I stand behind him and vu always follow him in the advocacy of that principle. Onlnn Wont Bo Silenced. ' The chair then recognised Frank ,P. Qulnn pt Illinois, who had fifteen minutes of time In Which to conclude the partisan debate for the contestees. ' He waa frequently Interrupted by the galleries and there were loud calls from the delegates to have the galleries cleared. He declared himself a democrat who be lieved In the right of the majority to rule and one who did not call another democrat a thief unleaa ha knew him to be one. He waa, ha aald, defeated himself, in 1896, but did not for that reason arrogate to hlm aelf the right to mix up In other people's quarrels all over the country. He declared that Mr. Bryan had read to the conven tion aa hla minority report the brief of one of the attorneya for the conteatanta. Mr. Qulnn waa so frequently Interrupted by the galleiiea that Chairman Wllllama waa forced to appeal to the convention for quiet. Delegate Richardson of Alabama, rising and addressing the etinir, declared that It was evident tbat an organised attempt waa being made to auppreaa ths facts in ths case by preventing Qulnn from being heard and the chairman again threatened to have the galleries cleared. Mr. Frank J. Qulnn began by saying: Gentlemen of the convention, I want to say to you that I am and always have been a democrat who believes that ths majority of . the .democratic party should rulu. I am so good a democrat that I do not reserve the right to vota until after the democratlo oonventlon. I am ao good a democrat that I never call a man a train robber and a thief until I know the facta to be So. (Applauae.) I am so good a democrat that In was, standing upon the platform of the democratlo national con vention I stumped the state of Illlnola and hurled th lio Into the teeth of democrats and republicans who ohargad that William J. Bryan waa dlahonest and a repudlator. In Uw I ran for the office of recorder of my county and I waa defeated, but I never as sumed the right, by reason of that defeat, to nominate Larbor masters, coroners and mix up in democratlo petty quarrela all over the state. Mr. Qulnn declared that ths subcommit tee of ths national committee devoted nine hours to these contests while Mr. Bryan was present for only three -quarters of an hour. , Mr. Qulnn was hers forced to ceass speaking on account o( ths cries of dls aent which arose from all parts of ths halt Several of . the disturbers were put out by the polios and It was for some min utes before order was restored. Mr. Qulnn closed with a plea for a fair hearing and V decision In accordance with the evidences ,In addition to the one man first ejected a half dose men in one of the balconlea who wars, constantly Interrupting tho speaker were put out of the ball by the police. Senator Martin of Virginia rushed up and ordered "that ths blackguards bo put out" and ths pollc respond) quickly. , Mr. 4 Bryan, then,, trcso to conclude and was again given a warm . .welcome of cheers.

When he dclared that he had been in the committee room at I o'clock In the morning and knew more about the details of the case than he who accused him he was cheered to the echo. Mr. Bryan spoke In his most earnest manner. He concluded with an expression of willingness for unity, adding: "But God forbid that It should be under a soiled banner." Mr. Bryan Concludes. - When Mr. Qulnn had concluded hla ad dress Mr. Bryart advanced to the front of the platform and waa greeted with vigor ous cheers. Mr. Bryan Said: "Mr. Chairman, ladlea and gentlemen: I have but ten minutes. Don't take my time. The first apeaker aald that I had riot heard tho evidence. I stayed In rhe aubcommittee of the national committee and heard evldeneo until S o'clock In the morning (applause) and I have heard more evidence than the gentleman who talked to you and who Impeached my knowledge of thla case (applauae). More than that I have examined affldavita, I have examined proteats and I know ten times as much about the facta of thla caae aa the gentle man who dared to Impeach my right to speak upon thla plattorm (applauae fol lowed by cheers). And now this committee listens two hours and does not give a chance for a single bit of evidence, but only argument, and then tells you that there waa no fraud and that you ought to seat these contestees. The gentleman says he was unanimously re-elected five hours after he began his gavel rule. Tes, my friends, everything done In that conven tion was unanlmoua (loud cheera and laughter). v Mr. Bryan cloaed with the .declaration that while he waa willing thefe men should return to "tho democratic party, he did not want loyal democrata to "walk be neath their aolled banner." -Chairman Heart .Talks. ... Chairman Head .of the credentials com-. mittee, who followed, accused Mr. Bryan' of contributing little to 'the hurmony ho was advocating.. Mr. Head admitted that there were things done in Illinois which should not have been done, but the com mittee had weighed tho facta and ita de clalon waa fair and unprejudiced. Before he concluded conversation had been re newed throughout the hall and the con vention waa growing restleaa. There Were loud cries of "queatlon" and "vote" as Mr. Head retired. "The question," said the chairman, "is on the substitution ot ths minority for the majority report" The "hoes" wers In a heavy majority and before the chairman oould announce the result Mr. Bryan was on the plat form and demanded a roll call. The de mand waa promptly seconded and the clerk proceeded with the call. It waa the first teat of atrength In the convention and waa llatened to with lntereat The Hearst people cheered every vote In favor of the substitute and were sup ported by those parts of the gallery which had so frequently interrupted- the anti Hearst speakers.

By a viva voce vote, there being no voting against It, It waa adopted amid auoh confusion that ths proceedings were hardly intelligible. Bry an's minority report was defeated. Ths result of the vote on ths Illinois contests (unofficial) was 301 to 847, without Illinois voting. CREDENTIALS COMMITTEE REPORTS Ho Gotnar Behind ths Retnrns Hade by ths Stnts Conventions. ST.

Tho minority report that Mr. Bryan sub mitted as a substitute for the majority report began thus: Illlnola has a stats central committee with one John P. Hopkins ss Its head. Finding itself In a minority In the state convention, said committee deliberately planned to override the democratic vote for the state and aacured by fraud and Intimi dation a majority of delegatea to the na tional convention. To thla end they brought contests in a number of districts outside of those called by the ssid committes and placed their men upon the temporary roll call of the convention. Then they had a credentials committee made up and aa far as possible had ths district members of the credentials com mutes taken from the conteatanta whom they had aeated. This credentlala commit tee, without Intention to go Into the merita of the conteat. aeated the Hopkins delegates in every Instance. The minority of the committee on credentials presented a re port, but Mr. Qulnn, the chairman of ths committee, declared that the mbiorlty re port was only advisory and would be filed for record. He then put ths vote upon tha minority report and declared It carried and refused a roll call, although It was then and there demanded. In ths hearing before the credentials committee of thla democratlo national con vention but a very limited amount of time was allowed for the consideration of thla conteat so short a time that it was Im poaalble to present ths evidence to the com mittee, the time being consumed in the arguments by ths attorneys of the contest ants and oontestees, but the evidence aa a matter of record was preaented before tha aubcommittee of the national committee on Monday, July 4. The report says that ths contestants sup ported their casea by hundreda of affidavits and hundreda of pages of documentary evi dence, but that ths contestees offered no affidavits and no documentary evidence ex cept ths report of the oonventlon officers, and no evidence at all but their own un supported oral statement. Ths report then goes Into a detailed analysis of all the testimony offered on behalf of conteateca, and especially aa concerned primary eleo tlona Infthe Second, Third and Ninth con gressional districts. Mr. Bryan also entered Into a summary of testimony concerning primaries In the Sixth, Tenth, Eleventh and Twelfth eon greaaional districts, pointing but In some of the primaries, as hs affirmed, tha unjust treatment to which the majority had been subjected. "Under all ths circumstances," hs said, "ths minority believe that It la Impera tively necessary that this convention shall repudiate the outrageous action of ths con vention of Illinois. To do otherwise Is to disregard the principles of ths democratlo party." Another minority report was presented recommending the sratlng of the following delegat.a from the District of Columbia: Herman J. Bchueltels, William E. Carre, Henry W. Sherman, Cornellua B. Ken neally, Thomaa F. Ryan and Ward Savage. FAIRBANKS AT OYSTER BAY On July 1 the Rsbllean Vies Presi dential Candidate Will Speak nt Indlananolla. INDIANAPOLIS.
