Veritabie Cyclone.
AZ The mention .oi The great silver
champion q mighty storm Of applause
broke forth which fairly made the
great convention structure tremJlc
and rolled out in a mighty wave far
across the great city. The Missouri
delegation arose as one man and
marched up and down the aiisles bear
ing aloft Bland banners while shout
upon shout was volleyed forth. Now
number Of nags and banners ars
raised in the galleries and as the band
strikes up "The Battle Cry Of Free
dom" there IS renewed cheering with
waving Of dags, hats and hendker-
chiefs everywhere. In vain the chair
mau raped for order for after dying
down somewhat the cheering was re-
newed with increased vigor as two
men marched down the center aisle
with the inscription
"Biand snver's Champion"
The md struck up again but was
drowned out by the applause and
cheers which finally subsidized enough
to allow Mr.. Vest 20 resume, the in
terruption having lasted twelve MIN
utes.
At the conclusion of Vests address
David Overmeyer, of Kansas, took the
platform and seconded the nomination
Of Mr.. Bland His praise of the silver
champion was attentively listened to
and frequently applauded. Congress
man Williams, of Illinois, also second
ed TIE nomination OF Silver Dick
The roll call Of states was resumed
at $3.50. California passed and John c.
Lewis, of Georgia, took the platform
to place in nomination Congressman
Bryan, of Nebraska. The mention OF
Bryans name brings on another tu-
multous demonstration.
Hundreds of delegates rise en- masse
and the Georgia. Nebraska, California,
Michigan, Louisiana and North Caro-
lima guidons are carried up and down
the aisles in cheering, shouting,
waving procession for the Nebraska
man. In few moments ten thousand
people are on their feet watching the
novel demonstration, and as Mississip-
pi joins the procession mighty cheer
goes up At the end of eight minutes
South Dakota also pulls in line and
there is renewed cheering, after which
the convention settles down to com
parative quiet and the chairman
gavel can again be heard
Big Boom For Bryan.
Lewis finished his speech amid an
other storm of applause which was re-
newed when Kentz, Of North Carolina,
seconded the nomination Of Bryan

other demonstration broke loose Ker
nan finishes amid cheers and confu
sion, and Illinois announces that she
has no candidate to present
Turpie, of Indiana, takes the plat
form to present Gov. Matthews Of that
state.
There is so much confusion that he
can scarcely be heard and when he
stops for order there are loud cries Of
"time, time" He resumes but cannot
be heard even at the reporters tables
1t is evident TO all that Matthews i:
not in 1t. Someone in the gallery
calls out 81 nominate Grover Cleve
land" and there are loud cheers anC
much confusion.
1t now became evident that yot'
for president will be reached and th'
crowd is settling down for an all
night session.
Turpie appeals to the chair TO re
store order and then proceeds, th'
mention OF Matthew'S name being
greeted with cheers.
Tryppet, Of California, records tn,
nomination of Matthews
A motion TO adjourn on account o
confusion was ruled out of order.
Different delegations demand tina
the convention be kept quiet, and Tho
chair states If order is not restore,
and kept he will order the police Il
clear the aisles and galleries.
Fully fifteen minutes having passe,
without the transaction Of any busi
ness, threat Of the chair that unles
better order be kept all tut delegate
would be excluded at the balance o
the sessions, has the effect OF restor
r ing comparative quiet
