highest honor private citizen, because
he has been true to his own conscience
and loyal to the best interests of his
countrymen.
But, fellow Democrats, whether your
choice shall be Bland or Boies, Mat
thews, Mclean or Kentucky's gifted son,
the imperial commonwealth of Texas,
with her more than 100000 majority will
take her place at head of your victorious
columns"
Utah supplied John r. Rawlins, her
former delegate in congress. who did
much to secure her statehood. to second
the nomination of Bland.
Congressman Jones, at the call Of
Virginia, climbed to chair to say that
the delegation had decided to cast its
vote for John w. Daniel, but at his
earnest request refrained from doing so,
and had no candidate.
Yet another chubby, round-faced gen.
tleman, j. w. st. Clair of West yir-
ginia, was to come. Not that West
Virginia did not love all the candidates,
he said, but that she loved Joe Black
burn best, because he was the man who
sounded the tocsin of the struggle for
silver and won out in Kentucky. Carlisle

10. ]. Dockery of Wisconsin was intro
duced and seconded the nomination of
Bryan. He said that Wisconsin would
in November cast her votes for the
nominee Of the convention and with en-
thusiasm. lie seconded the nomination
of William j. Bryan, the idol Of this
convention.
Strife cropped out in Wisconsin's
camp for Gen. Bragg, the man who gave
Cleveland a watchword by his famous
epigram, II love him for the enemies he
has made" was standing on chair and
many delegates were bowling at him.
His words could not be distinguished
plainly, but they were something about
"another candidate on another plat
FORM
The roll call of states was finished at
1890. Then Senator Jones of Arkan-
sas moved an adjournment until 10
o'clock tomorrow morning.
The Bryan adherents were not anxious
to have the balloting postponed. There
were cries for vote, but the chairman
put the question and after spectators, as
well as delegates had yelled yes" ard
mo-" declared the convention adjourned.

has it, (Applause.) If they dare to
come out and openly defend the gold
standard as good thing we shall fight
them to the uttermost.
you shall not cruelty mankind upon
cross of gold" Great applause.)
The conclusion of Mr.. Bryan's speech
was marked by the most enthusiastic
demonstration of the convention up to
that time. The whole convention sprang
to its. feet ana 10000 Threats roared
while twice twenty thousand arms
waived frantically. Handkerchiefs and
flags flew wildly. Hats were hurled
aloft. Umbrellas were waived. Men
shouted like maniacs. From every
quarter of the hall came the hoarse roar
Suddenly member of the Texas delega-
ton uprooted the banner Of the Lone
Star state and carried it to where stood
the standard of Nebraska. Above these
roars arose piercing shrieks which sound
ed like volley of siege guns above the
continuous rattle of 10000 small arms
Other delegates grasped the stats of
their delegations and pushed their way
to the Nebraska delegation. Soon the
staffs of two-thirds of the states were
grouped about the purple standard of
Bryan's state. Only the standards of
Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts,
Hampshire Vermont. South Dakota
Rhode Island and Pennsylvania were
left standing when the demonstration
was at its height Meantime the awful
uproar from the galleries continued.
The band played, but the music could
not be heard above the Niagara-like tu-
multi of sound. Like an angry ocean it
swept on, breaking, at last receding, fall
ing back only to rise again. Delegates
fairly jumped for joy. Some of them
took possession of the aisles ard march
ed Suddenly the state standards clus-
tered at Nebraska were borne away in
single file through the aisles of the pit.
After fifteen minutes of this turbulence
the delegates and crowds sank back eX-
hausted. When all were seated Dele
gate Salibury of Delaware climed on the
back of his chair He and his three sill
yer colleagues in that state gave three
cheers for Bryan, which was answered
with shout from the gallery of whats
the matter with Bryan for president?"
The recipient of all this honor made
has way with difficulty from the stage.
For ten minutes his friends had fairly
sm0thered him with congra tulations.
When at last he reached his chair on
the floor he leaned back, seemingly COM
pletely exhausted. One of his colleagues
famed him, while the others of the dele
cation hung affectionately over him and
wrung his hands.
