There will be no compromise at the

II do not. While the outlook is moi

by local machine which suppresse

platform with the Bryan telegram, but
Senator Allen would not permit him 10
read it to the convention and Governor
Stone retired very much disconnected.
The populist leaders had decided to go
ahead with Bryan's nomination, irrespec-
tive of the wishes of the democratic
managers Rumors that such mes
Sge was in the convention aroused the
Lone Star delegates to frenzy, and
Stump" Ashby demanded to know if
there was Il message from Bryan on the
secretary's table. Chairman Allen
promptly replied that there was not, but
there was some talk of Il fictitious mes
sage somewhere; he had not seen it..
Literally, of course, Mr.. Allen was cor
rect. He said afterwards, i'll eXplana-
ton of his action, that Bryan was the
overwhelming choice of the conventions;
that the telegram, whatever it was, was
not addressed to the convention or to a
populist delegate; that it was purely a
democratic negotiation and nothing with
which populst convention had anything
to do. When the roll call was COM
pleted, it was found Bryan had 1912 out
of the 400 votes in the convention.
Frank s. Norton of Chicago was the
only other candidate. lgnatius Don
nelly of Minnesota and Gen. Coxey of
industrial army fame were nominated,
but their names were withdrawn. Nor
ton received 321 votes, Eugene V. Debs
10 and Donnelly l. Norton got the ma
jority of the solid vote of Texas, Michi-
gan, New York, Missouri, Rhode Island
and Wisconsin, and Il respectable por-
ton of the votes of Alabama, California,
Kentucky, Illinois and Ohio.
The convention was hastily adjourned
after Bryan had been declared the
nominee, and the radicals in the Texas,
Arkansas, California, Illinois and Maine
delegations proceeded to organize their
| trump" convention.
After the adjournment Senator Jones
refused to give out Mr.. Bryan's mes
sage and he Immediately posted off to
| Lincoln to confer with the silver knight
| of the west regarding the situation. As
to the future, all is problematical. None
of the wiseacres pretend to predict with
certainty what the result will be.
