The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1896-07-11

Minnesota standard was carried by one
of the Bryan supporters from that
state. Some of the enthusiastic Ohio
delegates wanted to have that state
join, and endeavored to loosen the pole
bearing the Ohio standard from its
fastening. Others interferred to pre-
vent its being done, and the conflict,
almost an open fight, occurred at the
seats Of the Ohio crowd. The banner
Of Ohio was broken squarely off from
the pole, which bore 1t, in the struggle,
and two Bryan men grabbed 1t and
rushed over the Tennessee seats shak-
ing 1t as high in the air as they could
in their enthusiasm. Considering that
Ohio was supporting the free silver
party the fight over the banner was
very unseemly and ungracious. There
had been so much previous joy that the
demonstration when the chair finally
announced Bryan's nomination was not
UP to the average convention enthus-
iaSm, though the uproar was cotlnued
for about fifteen or twenty minutes.
The usual procession was formed and
q Bland brass band marched up and
down the aisles playing triumphant
airs though they all had Bland badges
upon their hats.
One man carried on an umbrella a
large cardboard on which was painted
Bryan, Bryan. No Crown Of Thorns
No Cross of Gold" A large sized cross,
made of gilt paper had been pasted
on cardboard and the words, mo Cross
Of Gold" in black letters appeared on
the gliding. 1 predict that such ban
ner will be one of the prominent en-
blems of the campaign throughout the
country. One man took off his shoes
and putting 1t on his cane waved it
high in air, while an irreverent re-
porter screamed that he had his very
sole in the movement. There were
THE USUAL ANTICS
and waving of flags, and umbrellas,
but by comparison with the display
when Bryan concluded his speech yes
terday, which nominated him, 1t was
far short, but 1t was sufficient and adj
journment came The Bryan men re-
turned to the city happy while the
others were sad though far from mad.
The Teller movement had all the
week no basis beyond mere compli-
nlentary vote from Colorado, for the
boiling Republican, but the Republi-
can senatorial syndicate who walked
out at st. Louis think Bryan is the
child of creation and that he was their
first choice after Teller. Jerry Simpson
and other Populists are the authority
for the statement that Bryan will be
nominated by reclamation at st. Louis
by the Popuhsts and if that should
prove to be the case one of the Invest
campaigns this country has ever seen
will be inaugurated.
