BRYAN GETS SOME SLEEP

CONVENTION HALL, CHICAGO, July
IL. 1S96-Goyernor Altgeld says the man
to be selected for vice-President must be
acceptable to the ST. Louis Convention.
There are six or seven Populistic States
that we must carry in order to win. We
should work for the endorsement of our
ticket by the ST. Louis Convention.
w. J. Bryan managed to get some much
needed rest last night. the first for several
days. He had gone to bed with the rising
of the sun yesterday morning and was
up and about again by the time most men
open their eyes. He slept later than usual
this morning, but the rest did him good,
and he looked better and fresher than last
night after the long hours of anxiety and
excitement incident to his candidacy.
People were crowdng into Mr.. Bryan's
room at the Clifton House this morning
when a United Press reporter called there
and all were being received pleasantly by
the candidate and his wife. Mr.. Bryan
told the reporter that he had postponed
his departure from Chicago to Salem
ILL.,, his birthplace, until Monday morning
next. He and Mrs. Bryan will go there
en- one of the regular trains and will re
main for the rest of the week. II have
nothing to say for publication today
said Mr. Bryan. Except that 1 am so
overwhelmed with congratulatory tele-
grams that 1t will be several weeks be-
fore | will be able to answer all of them. .
Ex-Governor Flower told a United Press
reporter today that he would remain in
Chicago until the convention ended. He
thought he would leave for New York
tomorrow afternoon. MFR. Flower was
asked if any statement or announcement
yssasga bA issued by rsie gold men and he.
answered that he knew nothing of such
an intention.
There was a very marked falling off
in the attendance at the Coliseum on
this the fifth morning of the Democratic
National Convention. The railroad trains
from the city furnished for the first time
since Tuesday last ample accommodations
and the great gallery expanses in the
hail were not used to one-fifth of their
seating capacity.
The sections assigned to delegates
showed rows upon rows of empty chairs,
but all the CORRESPONDING signal poles of
the State with the names painted white
on the blue blades were in their proper
consin. which General Bragg had com
plained of last night as having been
stolen during the great racket of the
Bryan nomination and as having been
'strailed in the cortege of the victor
It was not raised to the same height as
the others, but the pole having been
broken off, it seemed to be hiding its
diminished head as if in disgust at the
part it had been made to play yesterday
the Chairman of the Pennsylvania del
egation, Mr.. Harrity, was present, but
most of the delegates had left the city.
Some of the New York delegates were in
the hall, but it was agreed that they were
to take no part in the voting for Vice
President. The New Jersey delegates
were absent in body. General Bragg
and most of the delegates from Wisconsin
were on the floor, but only the FIVE Wis
eensin silver men We're to cast their In
<hvidual votes for the Vice Presidential
candidate
AT II A. NJ, the Chairman. Senator
White of California. called the convention
to order, and fprayer having been dis
pensed wfth) Mr.. Harrity Of Pennsylvania
announced that the present National
Committee would meet at the Palmer
House at O'clock this afternoon and
would be glad to welcome the new Ma
tional Committee.
