Clock Is Stopped.
Leading up to the nomination were
hours that began with picturesque en
thusiasm, which grew into uncon
trollable disorder. The nominating
speeches were made amid scenes akin
to panic at certain stages.
At 12 o'clock midnight the conven
tion clock was stopped, so that con
structively the nomination of Bryan
would take place at Thursday's ses
sion of the convention. Will the Fri
day hoodoo be overcome by this tech
nical evasion? is a question that was
in the minds of enthusiastic Bryan
Democrats, as they wended their way
from the convention hall in the early
morning hours.
Wild Scene of Confusion.
A wilder demonstration than that
over the first mention of Bryan's
name on Wednesday followed the con
cluding word of Ihe speech of Ignatius
J. Dunn of Nebraska, which formally
presented the name of Democracy's
champion to the convention.
An hour and seven minutes, against
the one hour and 28 minutes of the
day before, marked the cheering and
tumult, but the densely, overcrowded
auditorium made the confusion worse
confounded.
Nobody had any respect for the
rights of anybody else. Everybody
was there to see the spectacle, if not
to take part in it, and those not able
to look out for themselves were
trampled upon.
Johnson and Gray Named.
Gov. John A. Johnson of Minnesota
and Judge George Gray of Delaware
were placed in nomination along with
Bryan. Small as was the following
of either, in comparison with that of
the Nebraskan, the scenes of con
fusion, owing to the uncontrollable
size of the crowd, were approximately
great.
Gov. Johnson was placed in nomina
tion by Winfield Scott Hammond of
Minnesota, Connecticut yielding to the
gopher state.
Judge Gray's name was presented
by Irving F. Handy of Delaware. Mr.
Handy felt how sadly he was in the
minority when, after he had talked
awhile, the crowd attempted to choke
him off.
Ovation for Johnson Speaker.
It was a thing worth noticing that
by far the best nominating speech of
the convention was made by Mr. Ham
mond in presenting the name of Gov.
Johnson. He had a hard task before
him, because he followed not long
after a characteristic Bryan demon
stration, lasting more than an hour.
In spice of this fact, the Minnesota
orator succeeded in interesting the
convention to a surprising degree, and
it was made evident that if it were
not for early pledges the Minnesota
governor would surely have had an
immensely larger following in the con
vention than he was able to show at
final ballot.
As the speaker rapidly sketched the
early life in poverty of Gov. Johnson
and passed on to his political triumphs
when he was elected governor the first
time in the face of 160,000 majority for
Roosevelt, the thing seemed to catch
tit imagination of the delegates.
FUNNY STORIES CURED HIM
"Having ratmly tried many and vari
ous remedies to restore to health a
business man whom I know and who
had fallen into a morbid condition
owing to years of overwork, a famous
Baltimore physician at last persuaded
his patient to take a course of funny
stories, one at each meal, with an
extra two at dinner," says a corres
pondent. "The patient, a solemn and

Denver Convention
Their Task
The galleries took up the cry, so
that at the conclusion of Mr. Ham
mond's rather brief but forcible speech
a demonstration was set on foot which
by careful nursing was made to last
25 minutes, or about a third the time
devoted to Mr. Bryan, whereas every
one knew that the Minnesota man
would not have one-tenth as many
votes as his Nebraska rival.
Seconding Speeches.
Seconding speeches for Bryan were
made by Senator Gearin of Oregon,
Gov. Glenn of South Carolina, and Gov.
Claude Swanson of Virginia. Gov.
Glenn's speech created much excite
ment, being devoted largely to a de
fense of Bryan against attacks brand-

ing him as a Socialist. At the con
clusion of his remarks, which were not
in accord with the spirit of the con
vention. Permanent Chairman Clayton,
who at the day session has superseded
Temporary Chairman Bell as wielder
of the gavel, exclaimed that William
Jennings Bryan needed no defenders,
and elicited tremendous applause.
The opening session lasted three
hours and brought about the comple
tion of the permanent organization of
the convention, with the resounding
address of Congressman Clayton of
Alabama, permanent chairman of the
convention. When the session opened
at night, every formality of organiza
tion had been accomplished and the
decks were clear for the supreme
work of adopting the platform and
naming the candidates.
The scenes within the convention
amphitheater repeated those of previ
ous days in the magnitude of the gath
ering and the eager enthusiasm of the
throngs. There were frequent dem
onstrations as the names of party
idols or Jeffersonian principles were
pronounced, but there was no repeti-
gloomy fellow, at first rebelled, but
finally faftng in with the idea adopted

the end restored to health, the effect
of laughter being entirely to change

tlon during the early session of the
tumultuous record-breaking demonstra
tion of Wednesday.
The address of the permanent chair
man, Mr. Clayton, proved to be a caus
tic arraignment of the failure of
Roosevelt policies and an enunciation
of Democratic doctrine. The ringing
voice of the orator and the emphasis
of his gestures stirred the listening
thousands to frequent demonstrations
of enthusiastic approval.
At 2:30 o'clock the platform com
mittee was not yet prepared to report,
and the convention took a recess until
evening, so that all remaining differ
ences of detail on the platform could
be reconciled and the document be
ready for adoption and the presidential
nomination be reached before the ad
journment of the night session.
It was 7:50 o'clock when Chairman
Clayton began to rap for order, which
he secured within the minute.
Kerr Takes Guffey's Place.
Mr. Clayton recognized Mr. Mc
Quisten of Pennsylvania, who an
nounced the selection of James Kerr
as member of the national committee
from that state in place of James M.
Guffey, who was selected before the
Pennsylvania contests were settled.
"Without objection the selection of
Mr. Kerr will be considered as rati
fied," said the chairman, and a moment
later added: "The chair hears none,
and the selection of Mr. Kerr is rati
fied." Cheering and a few hisses
greeted the announcement.
Ollie James of Kentucky moved that
WILLIAM JENNINGS
a committee of three be appointed to
wait upon the platform committee and
ascertain when it would be ready to
report. The motion prevailed and Mr.
James, J. Thomas Heflin of Alabama
and F. P. Lynch of Minnesota were
named. Mr. Lynch's appointment was
the first recognition the adherents of
Gov. Johnson had received in the
choice of convention committees.
Pending the report of the committee
of inquiry, Thomas P. Ball of Texas
was invited to address the convention.
Mr. Ball called out cheering when
he said it was a great pleasure to ad
dress such a notable "ratification con
vention," and declared Mr. Bryan
would be nominated because the peo
ple of the states who sent their dele
gates to the convention wanted him
nominated.
"In November next," said Chairman
Clayton, "we will witness in New
York the Tammany tiger drowning
the Republican elephant. Therefore I
invite to the stand, for a speech from
a Democrat to a Democratic conven
tion. Senator Thomas F. Grady of New
York."
through one's system. There is very
little tae matter with the man who
can enjoy a hearty laugh."
The Ideal Wife,
is your idea of
"What
an Ideal
wife?"
"One who will cook the meals, do the
washing, look after the furnace, make
her own clothes and and "
"And what?"
"Keep herself looking as young and
as beautiful as an actress who pulls
down $400 a week in vaudeville."
Senator Grady was given a most en
thusiastic welcome as he appeared on
the rostrum. When he declared that
the convention could nominate no can
didate and adopt no platform that
would not receive the united and en
thusiastic support of the New York
democracy, he was given still greater
applause and returned to his seat amid
cries of "Grady." "Hurrah for Grady."
Chairman Clayton then introduced
Judge L. J. Wade of Iowa, "a repre
sentative of the great corn state." Mr.
Wade is the new national committee
man from Iowa.
Champ Clark Is Heard.
"I am sure the convention will be
glad to concur in the request of Mis
souri to hear from old Champ Clark
of that state, one of the knightliest
Democrats who ever drew glittering
blade in defense of the party." It was
in these words that Chairman Clayton
introduced the next speaker, whose ap
pearance on the platform was a signal
for great cheering.
Mr. Clark predicted that the Demo
crats would sweep the country from
sea to sea, that on the fourth of March
next a Democratic president would be
inaugurated, backed by a Democratic
house, and the people would then come
into their rights.
"Democrats are getting together all
over the land." he continued, "and the
Republican party is presenting to the
country the effect of a dissolving
view. At Chicago Roosevelt forced on
the convention a candidate for presi
dent that it did not want, and the con-
BRYAN
vention forced on him a candidate for j
vice-president that he did not want. '
"During the Russian-Japanese war a '
telegram came from the front saying:
'Kuropatkin is in statu quo.' The boys
in the village did not know what that
meant, so they took the message to ,
the wise man or the town, and he did ,

t for the office of president of the Uni
ted States," shouted Chairman Clay
ton. "Alabama." called the clerk.
The chairman of that delegation
arose and was recognized.
"Knowing that Nebraska will make
no mistake in nominating the right
man." he said, "Alabama yields to
Nebraska."
"I. J. Dunn of Omaha will speak Tor
the Nebraska delegation." announced
the chairman of that state, while the
cheering which followed the first state
ment from Alabama continued una
bated. Dunn Nominates Bryan.
Mr. Dunn, who was to make that
speech of the convention in which the
greatest interest was felt by the dele
gates and the spectators, is scarcely
of middle age. His clean-cut, determined-looking,
clean-shaven face is sur
mounted by dark brown hair, which
owing to the emphatic manner in
which he emphasized his speech with
his head, was soon touching the center
of his forehead. He spoke clearly and
with a pleasing manner of delivery.
Big Demonstration Starts.
Mr. Dunn brought out the name of
"William Jennings Bryan" with in
tense dramatic force, and the response
from the great throng was electric.
The delegates sprang up. the galleries
followed suit, and the demonstration
was under way in a manner that prom
ised to rival Wednesday's exhibition
of enthusiasm.
A few moments after the cheering
began an immense oil painting of Mr.
Bryan was lowered from behind a
monster American shield which had
reposed over the chairman's desk ever
since the convention began. The ap
pearance of the picture raised the
pitch of the outburst, and the dele
gates were still cheering wildly when
the convention adjourned.
INDIANA SECURES THE HONOR.
John W. Kern of That State Named
for Vice-President.
Denver. Col. The terrific strain of
the all-night session caused the ma
jority of the delegates to sleep late
Friday and the delegates were slow
in gathering in the con-ention hall.
When the meeting was called to or
der at 1:40, the nomination of a can
didate for vice-president was at once
proceeded with. Gov. Thomas of Colo
rado placed in nomination Charles A.
Towne. John J. Walsh named Archi
bald McNeill or Connecticut. Hill of
Georgia urged the claims of Clark
Howell for the position.
Thomas R. Marshall presented the
name of John W. Kern of Indiana, and
the convention enthusiastically took
up the cheering which was started by
the delegation from the Hoosier state.
Gov. Folk of Missouri seconded the
nomination of Mr. Kern.
Hill of Georgia withdrew Howell's
name and seconded the nomination of
Mr. Kern.
Charles A. Towne also withdrew
from the contest, and urged his friends
to unite on Kern.
The withdrawals increased the vig
or of the demonstrations in favor of
Kern, and on the motion that he be
nominated by acclamation, which was
carried, the cheering resembled close
ly the enthusiasm which had been
evinced at the nomination of Mr.
Bryan the day before.
Wearied by the two tumultuous ses
sions, the delegates left the conven
tion hall and the great gathering was
at an end.
Sketch of Kern's Career.
John Worth Kern was born in How
ard county, Indiana. December 20,
1S4&. He graduated from the Univer
sity of Michigan in 1S69 at the age of
20 years, with the degree of doc

which brought him into the public
eye was when fulfilling his duties as
a reporter of the supreme court of
Indiana, which office he held from 1885
to 1889. For four years 1892 to 1896
he was a state senator. He became
city attorney of Indianapolis in 1897,
and held that office for four years!
