As boon as the fourth ballot was

, lion, and tho convention was appar
ently stampeded to llryan.

hands it largo silk tlag, on one side of
which shono tho clear cut features of
llryan. To and fro It waved, whllo
1:0,000 throats yelled and screamed.
Tho band played, but It could not bo

wrk this afternoon by nominating
on' tho lift Ii ballot Mr. Sew all of
Maine as the running mate for W. J.
llryan. thu "boy orator" of Nebraska,
wlio wus Humiliated with such great
hurrah yesterday afternoon.
The result wus accomplished onlj
with considerable dilllculty and in

tempts were nude to stainpedo tho
convention to IHehard I'. Ilhitid of
Misiouri, but those failed, though ho
was once within fifty votes of a ma
jority. Joseph I. Sibley of Pennsyl

for a time, but was dropped nt his
wish expressed ny telegraph. On tlio

seemed an almost sure winner, but at '
its close it was positively announced I
that he was not a candidate for thu '

Although 10 o'clock was the hour
iKod for reassembling this morn lug.
at twentj' minutes after that hour not
mote than loo delegates were in the
pit, mid the galleries were not half
filled. Tjie delegates had been worn
out by the struggles of the past four
days, and public interest seemed to
havo culminated yosterdaj' In the noni- j
Illation of a Presidential candidate !
The news that John K. McLean ot
Ohio, who was the most formidable
candidate hist night, had finally and
positively decided not to allow his
fiauio to bo presented for tlio Vice
Presidential nomination, left an open
Hold for the second honor. Tho silver
lenders stood about with their heads
together discussing tlio availability of
the various candidates. Kx-( ongrovs-
man Hen Shively of Indiana, recently
nominated for governor of thu. Statu,
was btrougly talked of by the leaders,
despite the declaration of the Indiana
delegation thai his nomination would
confine the .situation m that State,
(icorgc Fred Williams of .Massachu
setts, Mr. Sewall ot Maine ami several
Illinois men, as well as Mr. liland and
Holes, wero also mentioned. It was
s.ihl that It was Mr. liryan'.s w Ish that
ti man of wealth should not bu placed
on the ticket with him.
As the hands of the clock pointed
to 11 o'clock-, Chairman White called
the convention to order. 'I'hero worn

loudly that the voice of the reading
clerk was drow nod.
This maddened one of the delegates
so that he appealed excitedly to the

from the beginning by the unb in an
outrageous way. "Put him out,"
