nings Bryan of Nebraska was nomi-
mated for President of the United

was announced that Illinois in caucus
had voted to 60 for Bryan.
There were no portraits of Bryan to
be found in the city large enough for
convention purposes. A morning
newspaper which had printed full
page picture of the convention star
orator was much in demand Copies
Of it We're stuck up on canes in the
galleries and a Mississippi man hung
one sheet to the standard of that
Next came the report that Ohio was
to change to Bryan.
A banner marked No crown of
thorns, no cross of gold" was carried
in the procession. Then the conven-
tion went wild as the Ohio standard
was carried to the Nebraska delega-
ton. and the convention was appar-
emily stampeded to Bryan.
Chairman White announced that
two-thirds of the Vote, cast would
nominate.

appeareG on a tabl back OF the alter

hands large silk flag, on one side of
which shone the clear cut textures of
Brean. To and fro it waved, while
'h Oo0 throats yelled and screamed.
The band played, but it could not be
heard.
