Today waa marked chiefly by turbulent enthusiasm and the bitter strife of party leader, tha essential developments of tha day being these: Two sessions of the convention were held, tha first at noon, producing a Bryan dem onstration breaking all records In duration, tha second at I o'clock tonight, bringing tha culmination of the struggle over tha credentials of the Pennsylvania delegation and the. supremacy ot . the Pennsylvania loader. Colonel Guffey, who has been de nounced by Mr- Bryan. Outside of the conveptlon. tha commit tees have proceeded with the serious work of preparing tha way for convention act! .in. Tha crtdentlals committee unseated eight of Colonel Guffey anti-Bryan Pennsyl vanla delegates, thus reversing the com plexion of tha Pennsylvania delegation from anti-Bryan to Bryan and precipitating tha intense controversy which Is being fought before tha night session of the con vention. Tha platform is still In an incomplete condition and will not be presented until tomorrow, but its essential features are agreed upon and little remains but the detail of phraseology. Gore Touch Oflf Eathnalaem. The early meeting of tha convention today was productive Of little practical progress, as tha principal commltteea were not ready to report. But It gave tha opportunity for the explosion of long pent up Bryan en thusiasm, which too tne signal irom oen ator Oorej's eloquent reference to the Ne braska leader, and burst into a whirlwind of enthusiastic tribute lasting on hour and nineteen minutes,' with seven minute, more of th expiring echoea of clamor, eatabllsh lng th convention record of one hour and twenty-six minutes, or full thirty-nine minutes In- exceaa of the Roosevelt demon s. ration at Chicago, which held the record until today. Jt waa a decisive exhibition of th over mastering strength of the Bryan column, and one of the most dra Bnatto convention picture ever presented as Uia standards of the state were torn from their mooring and borne through th hall, until they stood together on the plat form like as army of banners, proclaiming their united allegiance to Bryan. A mighty torra of Bryan demonstration when the six standards of New York. New Jersey. Dela ware. Georgia, Minnesota and Connecticut stood rooted In their places, the rallying points. f . little . groups unmoved by the frrnaled cnea about them. Throughout the hour and nineteen minutes the deafening roar continued, ebbing, and flowing in In tensity, woman joining with th man in bear ing the Bryan standards aloft, while the whole assemblage of 11,000 people Joined in the tumultuou demonstration. The early session lasted three hour, and then, worn out with exertion and nicking the inaiertsU to proceed wUh business, tlie convention re cessed until tonight.. Tasnssamy-;5Ika- Desaoast rat loa. Wlt the aaiutanc ' of another perfect day and .th) promise, of ' an Interesting fight . over th report of the com mttta) . o ' eredeaUala, which Colonel Outfey and his Pennsylvania frienda were generally expected to contest, the conven tion crowd wis, however. Impeded by a great parade of the Tammany men from New Tork, who, headed by a band and a number of guadlly attired Indiana, wound their way around .the business section ot the City. About l.OflO men were In .line, among them I.eadar Charles F. Murphy and other big men of Tammany. It was by far the largest parade which has so far oc Curted during th convention. With Tammany out of the way. tha crowd wa , abl once more to proceed toward th convention hall, and by 11 JO, a half hour previous to the time set for the opening of the proceedlnga. all th sidewalks er cl-.oJ. and the police were etrugfllng with th eager crowd which wa pressing toward th entrance. While th day outside wss warm, the sjaopty convent loa hall, w hen th door were opened, waa found to be five to ten degree gooi the tha atreet temperature. t Jhg. liryan 4ne tfmpin Into in Auditorium with cheerful faces and much laughter. The events of the night and early morning In the committee on cre dentials were much to their liking and they were more confident than ever of the ultimate auccesa of their candidate. The Georgia men, anxloua still, in the face ot apparently overwhelming odda were 'late In arriving as they had held another caucus early today for the purpose ot establishing a rallying point for the fight against Bryan. When Georgia arrived It became known lhat th Georgia delegation was unable to reach a conclusion lesard'ng the democratic candidate for president whom they w 11 sup port. Another caucus will be held tonight to further conalder the question. As con stituted the delegation stands twenty-three against Bryan and three for him. The teats of Pennsylvania were also rparsely filled, Colonel Guffey and his fol lowers being locked up at the Adams house considering their beat lino ot action In th) face of the adverse report which the com mittee on credential waa preparing to bring agalnat them. Call for Labor Lewder. Four times before the convention was called to order, a gray haired reading clerk with Stentor!an voice, demanded to kno from the platform If Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell or Mr. Duncan were In the house. "They are requested to come for ward," he said at first, but there waa no response. Next time, the clerk announced that the trio of labor leader were wanted by the shouted time and time again, while the hum ot voices continued. "Gentlemen, be seated," called th chair man. "Gentleman, pletce be seated." he repeated, and at last, "the officers ot the convention will see that gentlemen take their seats and clear the aislea." while th gavel continued Us pounding. Impromptu conferences seemed to be In progress In all parts of the delegates section and It was some time before the participants headed th frantic appeals of the chairman. Chairman Bell, after pounding with his gavel for ten minutes, delivered a short address demanding that order prevail la the convention, repeating for the fiftieth time: "Gentlemen, take your seats." While lie was speaking almost absolute silence prevailed and his threat of "no business will be transacted unlesa quiet is restored," was made to the people who were making no noise of any kind. Prayer of Her, C. F. Relsner. The chairman finished what he had to say, howtver, and promptly seising his op portunity. Introduced the Kev. Christian F. Itelsner of Denver, the chaplain of the day, who delivered the following Invocation: Oh, Jehovah, God of Nations, Father of all Mankind, we look to Thee. We thank 1'hee for the good world In which wu walk and work. We thank Thee for the part our country has had In bringing In this high day of righteousness. We thank Thee tor our nation a ideals and the brain and tho brawn which have made the world recog nize and adopt them. We thunk Thee for the warriors who helped melt out our own dross as well as those who compelled other nations to be fair with the weak and aive ! the oppressed a chance to grow. We thank i i nee ro committee on resolution and lastly he ap pealed that they report Immediately at room 113 Brown Palace hotel. The reading clerk caused some merri ment by announcing In all seriousness that "It Mr. Jones Is In the house, he I re quested to call 'phone Main iti." . Temporary Chairman Bell reached th rostrum just before noon, while the band was playing the "Red. White and Blue." and there were combined cheer for th patriotic selection and for th first officer of the convention. "Dixie." cam next from-the band and drew out the usual burst of cheers from the southern delegate. Clayton Reaches Hall. Among the early arrival wa Represen tative Henry B. Clayton of Alabama, soon to be named by the organization commit tee a the permanentichalrman of the con vention. Ho occupied a seat In the last row of chairs reeerved for member of the national committee. His eye were covered by heavy blue glass and he wa some what less fashionably attired than wa temporary Chairman Bell, who spoke yesterday. Mr. Clayton wa tb constant center of a group of men. who called to pay their respect to th officer, who is to wield th gavel through all the stormy scenes, and alt the period of rain, that lie before' the convention, after th struggle over th credential committee report has been decided. . . Gaffer Rad foe War. Colonel Guffey walked down tb center alale to his place lit the Pennsylvania dele gation at 11:10 and got a cheer from 4 number of the delegate In his vicinity. He lso was surrounded for some little time by, a group of friends, who apparently wanted to know what plan of action had I crown of power. "r men of eoual courasre who are now willing to brave slander and endure the sapping strain of public scrutiny and service, to carry righteousness forward through peaceful measures.

May defeat with the rlht and blood marked brow be more desirable than victory with wrong and a jeweled been decided upon by th Pennsylvania leader. D ir'ng all thf. time the delegates were finding their seats the band kept up a conuant stream of music. A wide variety of selections were offered and whenever the leader had a doubt he turned on a new supply of "Dixie" and always got a re sponding shout. "The Star-Ppangled Ban ner" oft repeated shared honor with the old southern song. At 11:20 o'clock, when the convention had not yet been eaUed to order, it waa an nounced thai th marching club would be permitted to march through th hall as soon a th opening prayer had been de livered. Chalrwsaa Rsss fer Order. It wa JuM 11 J when Chairman Bell be gan vigorously to rap tor ordrr and te direct that the congested alale be cleared.

" "The Milwaukee nd other marching clubs will pass through the hall." announced the chairman, and as the last words left his Hps, the strains of "Dixie" floated Into the auditorium and a cheer broke from the crowd as the first Bryan banner In line was swung through the door. The conven tion band caught up the dying strains of Dixie" as the marchinr: hand passed out of a door opposite the one by which It en tered. The parado was not a long one and tb convention soon returned to business. As the Inst of the parade passed out. Chairman Bell again ordered that the aisles be cleared, and when this was done the chairman said: "The chair recognizes Senator Thomas F. Gr.tdy of New York, chairman Vf the committee on rules." Senator Qrndy, mounting the platform, announced In a few words that he pre sented the report and for the adoption of which he moved. It provided that the convention shnll re governed by the rules of 'he democratic convention of 1904. The report was adopted unanimously by a viva voc vote. 'Now, gentlemen," sold Mr Bell, "it ap pears that the Committees are not ready to report at this time, so tho convention will dispose of some minor business. The chnir recognizes Mr. W. II. Martin of Ar kansas." v Memorial for Jones. Mr. Martin presented on behalf of the national committee a '.resolution of regret and tribute to the late James K. Jones, former chairman of the committee. ' After the resolution had been read, Mr. Martin spoke briefly of Senator Jones' capabilities and eminent services to the democratic party. By a rising vote' the resolution was unan imously ndopted. A storm of laughter went through tha convention hall when Chairman Bell said with a smile, "John 8. Whelan, secretary of the New York delegation, Is wanted at the long distance telephone by Governor Hughes of New York." When the laughter had subsided, the chairman said: "This Is no laughing matter, this business concerns the affairs of state and It Is an Indication that democrats nre already be ginning to get together." "Tho Michigan delegation has lost l't Bible," announced Chairman Bell, amid outburst of laughter. "And they would be very much gratified." he added, "If It Is returned." OlMe Jame's of Kentucky was recognized to move that a recess be taken until t p. ni. There were cries of "no" from all parts of the hall, the galleries joining In the call of many of the delegates. When the motion waa put there were loud and almost equal choruses first of "aye'' und then ot "no." "The chair is In doubt," said Mr. Bell, "but It Is his opinion that the delegates vote aye and the galleries no. I will put the motion again." This time the galleries voted unanimously and the shout of -"no" overwhelmed the "ayes." Order Dlfflrnlt to Secnre. "Gentlemen,' said the chairman, bran (ilahlng h'.s gavel, "gentlemen, come to or der. Th chair 's convinced that enough tielt'gates have voted n-jw to retain the convention In Its seats tor a few moments longer." A cheer of approval came down from the galleries and Its feeble echo rose Irom the convention floor. Great confusion followed, hundreds ..ef voices calling for various speaker, the name of Senator "Bob" Taylor of Tennesree being shou'ed repeatedly. The convention then settled down to await the next event, but there wai none lor some m nutes. Tho band attempted to play, but waa practically: submerged In the uproar. The chairman - kept up his automatic sentence: "Gentlemen, come to order," and kept It tp after tha convention had quieted down. "The chair will now recognize Mr. Helfner of Washington," said Chairman Bell, when a semblance of order had been restored. "I move that we hear a few remarks from Senator Bob Taylor of Tenneasee," mingled cries of "Taylor," and "no, no," came from the floor. The chair appointed Mr. Helfner as a committee of one to escort Senator Taylor to the chair. Senator Oore Called for. Then there came cries of "Gore, Oore," begun by the constituents of the Okla homa senator, and wa caught up all over the hall. Mr. Bell pounded for order and announced that Senator Taylor had left the halt. 'Gore, Gore," called the delegates. 'In a moment," shouted the chairman. who before announced that the convention would first hear from Charles A. Towne and then from Senator Gore. Mr. Towne waa nowhere to be found, however, and the chanoe of hearing a speech from one of the vice presidential candidate wa lost. 'Wa will hear from Senator Gore," finally announced Mf. Bell, amid great cheering. Ovation for Gore. When the chairman announced that Sena tor Oore ot Oklahoma would address the convention, the delegate of the state went Into a spasm of delight, they whooped and yelled In delight, as the blind senator from the newest state in the union was led to the platform. Hla first utlerancr.i were happy and he caught the convention Im mediately. Loud cheers and applause greeted hla declaration that Oklvhoma Is the most democratic state in the union The cheers were repeated Iat.T when he said: "The president of the United States lias said that his opinion of our constitution la unfit for publication. That Is true of many of the opinions of the presidents of the United States." , "Fellow democrates. the great secretary of war came to Oklahcma. and waged war against our constitution." continued Sen ator Gore. "He asked us to give up our right of liberty and self-government, but by a vote of thousands upon thousands Oklahoma rejected the advice of Tift and accepf-J the advice of Bryan." First Bryan Demonstration. The mention of the name Brought the convention to ita feet In the first real Bryan demonstration. Delegates from nearly every state Jumped to their chair and yelled. Members of the New York d.-l egatlon joined In the cneerlng but a ma Jorlty remained In their scuts. Minnesota and Deleware were the conspicuous ex ceptlons to the general celebration. A Bryan banner, which had been lurking In the rear of the hall, was rushed to the stag and waved above the heads of the chairman and speaker. The point of the flagstsrt caught one of the suspended eagles over th chairman's desk and brought it crashing ta th floor. It wss quickly caught up, however, and held above Senator Gore's head. The band Joined In the demonstration with lively music. Martin Wave El. 8rgeaBSat-Arms Martin, after he had thoroughly mussed the senator's hair with the eagle's tall, waved the great stuffed bird bo close to the siatore nose that he must have started back bad h been M to see what was going on two Inches from his face. The applause waa relaxing somewhat when the band poured oil on the fire bv atrlMng up "Dixie" and Instantly the flame was burning fiercely, and brighter than before. The young man with the Bryan banner held his place on the speaker's stand by the side of the senator, waving the banner to and fro, careful, however, to tear no more eagles from their perches. Senator Oore. whj had caused th ter rific outburst, waited for a time for the noise to ccaso, and then quietly turned and seated himself against the railing ot the platform, waiting for th uproar to subside. Georgia's delegation, in the mldit of the cheering, wa also conspicuous for Ita absolute silence. When the demon stration had proceeded for some fifteen minutes a delegate from Iowa caught up the standard of that state and led a march to tho stage where ther was a grouping of the states. It was a wild rush to the platform In which there was much confusion. Delegates other than those currying the heavy standards Joined In the surging crowd, Invading the spaco act aside for working newspaper men and seriously interfering with their labors. State Hot Participating;. The only state standards that finally were left In their places were Georgia. New York, Delaware, Minnesota, Mary land. Connecticut and New Jersey. When the enthusiasm was at Its height the group of state standards around and upon the platform Included Rhode Island, Porto Rico, Alaska, South Dakota, West Virginia, Iowa, Oregon, Kansas, Virginia, Montana, Texas, Penn sylvania, Illinois, Oklahoma, Arkansas, South Carolina, Washington, New Hamp shire, North Dakota, Louisiana, North Carolina, Florida, Wisconsin and Cali fornia. After ten minutes of yelling the per spiring, scrambling delegates, with their ttate standards, left the platform and started on a parade around the hall. Back and forth In the aisle In front of the press seats the excited, shouting Bryan men carried their standards, but the cheers were by this time beginning to decrease In volume and a few of the blue markers were returned to their places on the floor of the hall. California's Bryan banner, heavy with gold tassels and fringe, was carried to the stage, while the cheering continued unabated and cries of "Whoop r up" came from the delegates In the front row. Maryland at last deserted from "stay-at-homes" and its banner taken into the midst of the parade. -New York Men Barrounded. Many of the standard bearers formed a circle about the New York delegation and cheered their lustiest. A wildly enthusiastic delegate from Okla homa clambered upon the press tables to secure a vantage point from which to dis play hla state standard. He was dragged down by the newspapermen with scant cere mony. He then attempted to go on tho platform once more, but Sergeant-at-arms Martin stopped him. He persisted, how ever, and after some argument, was allowed to carry his point. The states of Idaho. Ohio and Massachusetts Joined him, while the band played "Hall, Hall, the Gang's All Here." The band then struck up "My Old Ken tucky Home," while the delegates and Spec tators joined In the chorus. The procession then started to leave the stand, but a halt was caused by a delegate who yelled so loudly that his false teeth fell out. They rolled under the press seats and down he went on hands and knees to recover his eating machinery, while the parade behind him halted until he had recovered the teeth, clapped them Into place end was ready to yell again for his political faith. Flashlight Add to Confusion. In the midut of the riot of noise and the confusion of marching delegates, the con stand boom of flashlight explosions from the photographers added to the pande monium. The standard-bearers finally ir.vaded the galleries, Maine and Alabama leading the tlon and tossing hats and handkerchiefs s high aa their weary arms would allow, yelling at the same time with all the power of their torn and tired throats. Th Last Yells. Tho crowd finally gatheied In front of the speakers' stand, and, packed Into a compact mass, they burst forth anew In cheers for Bryan, for themselves and for each other. fat, bald headed man from Ohio climbed upon a press table and. acting aa cheermaster, called for yells from every" delRht of another state that his eyes could light upon. The convention band finally got separated In the surging crowd and ita members In dulged their Individual tastes lit regaling those about them with music. From time to time the besrers of Ihe stste standards would break away from the aisles and make another rush lo th chair man's desk. Senator Gore, with placid countenance and unseeing eyes, stood un perturbed, waiting for the tumult to end before resuming the speech that had started the demonstration. He chatted from time to time with Chairman Bell, who stood guard against the rush of the thoughtless. A rallying point for the hand jwas estab lished on the stage at last, and. the scat tered musicians hurried there to Join In the "Red, White and Blue." The patriotic selection made way for still another edition of "A Hot Time" when the cowboy musicians had assembled In full strength. Blind Senator Await Silence. During all this time, while onu of the greatest outbursts of political enthusiasm ever seen In any political gathering was rising, dying, swelling up and ugain pass ing away, the blind man who had called It Into being sat Jammed against the edge of th speaker's railing, seeing nothing of the spectacle his Voice had created. He was for the time forgotten, hut he rested quietly on his totterlhg perch, secure In the knowledge that heed would be given when MICIl BUILDING BY BISIIOf Five Hundred Thousand Dollar Worth to Bo Done This Summor.

At 2:47 o'clock, one hour and twenty-seven minutes after Senator Oore had mentioned the name of Bryan, a majority ot the state standards were in their proper places and the demonstration wa practically ended, although cheers were atlll rising from all parts of the hall.

"My countrymen," he said, "to the greater and older states of this great re public Oklahoma has only this to say: " 'Go thou and do likewise.' " Cheers and applause greeted Senator Gore as he made his way from the platform. The chair again recognised Mr. James of Kentucky, who again moved that a recess until 8 p. m. be taken. Mr. Bell put the motion and, without waiting for a negative vote, declared It carried and the session was ended. limb to the second tier. The galleries al ready had taken their full share In the demonstration. The band kept up a con tinuous flow of music, which finally started all the delegates to sing, when "Hall, Hall, the Gang's All Here" was struck up. The band In the gallery worked without cessation and whenever it struck up any thing with a chorus that the crowd was able to follow, they yelled the words of the air with wild enthusiasm. Delegates danced up and down In the aisles to the measures of a "Hot Time" and shouted the chorus of Marching Through Georgia." While the latter air was ringing through the hall, determined assault waa made by the fren zied Bryan shouters upon the Georgia stsndard, which up to this time, had been kept firmly rooted In Its place. The delega. tlon showed In quick fashion that Is was as dangerous to "march through Georgia" s ever It had been in the day of the war. They rallied around their little yellow flag polo bearing the name of their state In white against a background of blue and they stuck staunchly to their guardianship. It was the only southern standard that re mained unrooted and where It was planted It stayed. Women Delegates Take) Part.
