vention of his party to make a minority re
port upon ao dry a subject aa a conteat
over seats in a convention. 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.

Coaster Oenaenatratlen.
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. .
CASPER PREDICTS WARM SCRAP
Bryan's Only Speech to Be Made on
Conteat.
(Fiwm a Staff Correspondent.)
ST. LOVIS, July T.-(8peclal Telegram.)
"There Will be a acrap for your whlakera
In ths awnvention thla afternoon" Is the
confidents! information just Imparted to
me by C D. Casper, the Nebraska member
of the eVedentlale committee. "You wilt
hoar Mr. Bryan make the apeech of his
life whalC he preaenta the minority report.'
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."

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.

hla place and began making his way to
the platform. ' 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.

was again given a warm . .welcome of
cheers. Raising bis band be made ths

request that the convention ahould not
take his time. Immediately there was
silence.
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.
A break in the Parker strsngth cams
when Kentucky voted BOlldly for the sub
stitute. Mr. Bryan Defeated.
The question recurred on the adoption
of the majority. 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.

f. M. HEAD. Chairman,
ALEXANDER DALT. Sec'y.
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.
