Loading up to tho nomination wero
hours that began with plcturcsquo on
thtiBlnsm, which grow Into uncon
trollnblo dlsordur. Tho nominating
spccchcR wore inndo amid scones akin
to panic nt cortnln stages.
At 12 o'clock midnight tho conven
tion clock wafl Btoppod, ho thnt con
structively tho nomination of Ilrynn
would tnko placo at Thursday's ses
sion of tho convention. Will tho Fri

In tho minds of onthusliifftlo Ilrynn
DontocrntB, ns they wondod their way
from tho convontlon hall In tho early
morning hours. x
Wild Scene of Confusion.
A wilder demonstration than thnt
over tho 11 rat montlon of llryan's
namn on Wednesday followed tho con.
eluding word of tho spocch of Ignatius
J. Dunn of Nebraska, which formally
prosentod tho tiamo of Domocracy's
champion to tho convontlon.
An hour and sovon minutes, against
tho ono hour and 28 minutes of the
day boforo, marked tho cheering and
tumult, but tho densely, overcrowded
auditorium inndo tho confusion worso
confoundod.
Nobody had any respect for tho
rights of anybody olso. Everybody
was thoro to hoo tho spectacle, If not
to tnko part In It, and those not ablo
to look out for thomsolvos wore
trampled upon.
Johnson and Cray Named.
Gov. John A, Johnson of Minnesota
Anil Judgo Qoorgo Cray of Dolnwnru
wore placod In nomination along with
Bryan. Small as was tho following
of either, In comparison with that of
tho Nobrasknn, tho scones of con
fUBlon, owing to tho uncontrollable
stao of tho crowd, woro approximately
prcat.
Gov. Johnson was plncod In nomina
tion by Wlnlleld Scott Hammond of
Minnesota, Connecticut yielding to tho
gopher state.
Judgo Gray's namo was prosentod
fcy Irving F. Handy of Dolawnro. Mr.
filnndy felt how sadly ho was in tho
minority when, after ho had talked
uwhllo, tho crowd attemptod to chnko
lilm off.
Ovation for Johnson Speaker.
It was n thing-worth noticing that
by far tho best nominating speech of
tho convention was inndo by Mr, Ham
mond In presenting tho namo of Gov.
Johnson. Ho hud a hard task boforo
lilm, becauso ho followod not long
tftcr a characteristic Ilrynn demon
stration, lasting mora than an hour.
In splto of this fact, tho .Minnesota
orator succecdod In Interesting tho
convention to a surprising degree, and
It wus mado evident that if It wore
not for early pledgos tho Mlnnosotu
governor would surely hiivo had an
ImmeuBcly larger following In tho con
vention than ho was ublo to show ut
final ballot.
As the spenker rapidly sketched tho
-early life in poverty of Oov. Johnson
and passed on to his political triumphs
when ho was elected governor tho llrut
time in tho face of 100,000 majority for
3loosovelt, tho thing seemed to catclt
tho Imagination of tho doleuatos.
KERN IS
Denver Convention
Their Task
Tho galleries took up tho cry, so
that at tho conclusion of Mr. Ham
mond's rather brief but forcible sjiccch
a demonstration was set on foot which
by careful nursing was mndo to last
2S minutes, or about n third tho tlnio
devoted to Mr. Bryun, whereas' every
one knew that tho Minnesota mnn
would not have one-tenth ns many
votes as his Nebraska rival.
Seconding Speeches.
Seconding speeches for llryan woro
made by Senator (loarln of Orogon,
Gov. Glenn of South Cnrollnn, and Oov.
Claudo Swnnson of Virginia. Gov.

who at tho day hobsIoii has superseded

Jennings Ilrynn needed no dofeudors,
uud ollcltod tremondous applnuso.
Tho opening session lasted three
'hours and 'Drought about tho comple
tion of tho .pormnnont organization of
tho convention, with tho resounding
addroaa of Congressman .Clayton of
Aluuauut,. permanent chntrmnu of tho
-convention. When tho bwbIoii opened
.at night- ovoi y formality of organiza
tion had boon accomplished nnd the
decks woro olonr far tho supremo
work uf adopting tho plntform and
numlnrr t'.'io candidates.
Tht snnioH within tho convontlon
nmphlVhonior repeated .thoso of previ
ous Uys in tho magnitude of tho guth-urlngi-aud
tho enuer onthiiBliism of tho
, throngs. Tlioro woro f ronuont dom
'uustrjitloir us tho annum of jmrty
Idols or .'lorforsoulnn principles woro
ii oik mucoid, but thoro was no ronotl-
1
lion during the early session of tho
tumultuous rucord breaking demonstra
tion of Wednesday.
Tho addross of tho permanent chair
man, Mr. Clayton, proved to bo n caus
tic arraignment of tho failure of
Itoosovolt policies mid nn anunclatlon
of Democratic doctrine. Tho ringing
voico of tho orator nnd tho omphasls
of his osturos stirred tho listening
thousands to froqivnt demonstrations
of enthusiastic uprovnl.
At 2:30 o'clock tho platform com
mittee was not yot prepared to report,
nnd tho convontlon took n recess until
evening, so thnt all remaining differ
ences of detail on tho platform could
bo reconciled nnd the document bo
ready for adoption and tho presidential
nomination be roached boforo tho ad
journment of tho night session.
It was 7:50 o'clock when Chairman
Clayton bogan to rnp for order, which
ho secured within tho inlinito.
Kerr Takes Gufcy'o Place,
Mr. Clayton recognlzod Mr. Mc
Qulsten of Pennsylvania, who an
nounced the selection of .lames Korr
ns member of tho national committee
from thnt stnto In placo of James M.
Gnffey, who wiib selected boforo the
Pennsylvania contosts woro settled.
"Without objection the selection of
Mr. Kerr will bo considered ns rati
fled," said the chalrmnn, nnd n momont
later added: "Tho chair hoars none,
and tho selection of Mr. Kerr Is rati
lied." Cheering nnd n few hisses
greeted tho announcement.
Ollle James of Kentucky moved that
WILLIAM JENNINGS
a commltteo of three bo appointed to
wnlt upon tho platform comnilttoo and
tiBcortaln when it would be ready to
report. Tho motion prevailed and Mr.
Jntnos, J. Thonins Hellln of Alnbnnm
and F. P. Lynch of Minnesota wore
nnmod. Mr. Lynch's nppotntmont was
tho llrut recognition tho adherents of
Gov. Johnson had received In tho
choice of convontlon committees.
Pending tho report of tho commltteo
of inquiry, Thomas P. Hall of Toxas
was Invited to uddross tho convention.
Mr. llnll callod out cheering whon
ho said It was a groat pleasure to ad
dress such n notnblo "ratification con
vention," nnd declared Mr. Ilrynn
would bo nominated because tho peo
ple of tho states who sent their dele
gates to tho convention wanted lilm
nominated,
"In Novomber noxt," said Chairman
Clayton, "wo will witness in Now
York the Tnmninny tlgor drowning
tho Hepubllcnn elephant, Thoroforo I
Invito to tho stand, for a speech from
n Democrat to n Democratic conven
tion, Senator Thomas F. Grady of Now
Yoik."
Senator Grady wns given a most cn
thusinBtlc welcome as ho ap)Karcd on
tho rostrum. When ho declared that
the convention could nominate no can
dldato nnd adopt no platform that
would not rccolvo tho united nnd en
thusiastic support of tho Now York
democracy, ho was given still greater
applnuso nnd roturned to his scat nmld
cries of "Grady." "Hurrah for Grady."
Chairman Clayton then Introduced
Judge h. J. Wado of Iowa, "a repre
sentative of the great corn state." Mr.
Wado Is tho new natlonnl committee
man from Iowa.
Champ Clark Ic Heard.
"I am sure tho convention will bo
glad to concur In tho request of Mis
souri to hoar from old Champ Clark
of that state, ono of tho knlghtllest
DomocratH who over drew glittering
'jlndo In dofenso of tho pnrty." It was
;ln thoso words that Chairman Clayton
Introduced tho next speaker, whoso ap
pearance on tho plntform was a signal
lor grent cheering.
Mr. Clark predicted that tho Demo
crats would sweep tho country from
sea to sea, that on tho fourth of March
next a Democratic president would be
inaugurated, backed by a Democratic
house, nnd the pcoplo would then come
Into their rights.
"Democrats aro getting together all
over tho land," ho continued, "nnd tho
Republican party Is presenting to tho
country tho offect of n dissolving
view. At Chicago Itoosovolt forced on
tho convontlon n cnndldato for presi
dent that It did not want, and tho con-
BRYAN
ventlon forced on lilm a candldnto for
vice-president that ho did not want.
"During tho Husslnn-Jnpaneso war a
telegram camo from tho front saying:
'Kuropatkin Ib In statu quo.' The boys
In tho vlllngo did not know what that
meant, so thoy took tho messago to
tho wise man of tho town, and ho did
not know what It meant, but ho took
a chance nnd ho said: 'Fellers, statu
quo means thnt Kuropatkin Is In a hell
of a tlx.' That's what's tho matter
with the Hopubllcan party."
Platform Committee Not Ready.
Tho gallorlos, with a profound lg
noranco of the mnnnor In which the
convontlon should bo managed, broku
In with cries of "Voto!" "Vote'"
Whon quiet was restored, tho chnlr
recognized Mr. James of tho commit
toe sent to ascertain tho probability of
nn early report from tho comnilttoo
on resolutions. Mr. Jnmos reported
that tho commltteo would not bo ready
to report before midnight. Ho ti...

pennon mm tlmt tho nominating
peeeuea lor presidential candidates

over, that no ballot should bo tal;en

Tho motion was ndoptcd, nnd tho

Tho chairman of thnt delegation

"Knowing that Nobrnska will mako

"I. J. Dunn of Omnha will speak for
the Nebrnska delegation," announced
tho chnlrman of thnt stnto, whllo'tho

ment from Alabama continued una
bated. Dunn Nominates Bryan.
Mr. Dunn, who wna to make that
speech of tho convontlon In which tho
grentest Interest was felt by the delo
gntes and tho spectators, la scarcely
of mlddlo ngo. His clean-cut, determined-looking,
clean-shaven faco is sur
mounted by dark brown hair, which
owing to tho emphatic manner in
which ho emphasized his speech with
his head, was soon touching tho center
of li la forehead. Ho spoko clearly and
with a pleasing lpanncr of delivery.
Big Demonstration Starts.
Mr. Dunn brought out tho namo of
"William Jennings Drynn" with In
tenso dramatic force, unci tho response
from tho groat throng was electric.
Tho delegates sprnng up, tho gnllorles
followed suit, and tho demonstration
was under way In a manner that prom
ised to rival Wednesday's exhibition
of enthuslnsm.
A fow moments after tho cheering
began an immense oil painting of Mr.
Dryan was lowered from bohlnd a
monster Amorlcnn shield which had
reposed over tho chairman's desk over
slnco tho convontlon began. Tho up
pearanco of tho plcturo raised tho
pitch of tho outburst, and tho dele
gates wero still cheorlng wildly when
tho convention adjourned.
