California changed her vote to IA for
Bryan, for Bland, for Matthews and
for Boies.
At the conclusion of this. ballot Mars
den renewed his motion to abrogate the
two-thirds rule. Upon the refusal Of the
Chair to entertain the motion, he app.
pealed.
Marsden howled that the majority
should rule. He took the platform. but
the convention seemed disinclined to
listen to him
The Chairman appealed for order and
asked clamorers for recognition to re-.
strain themselves.
Senator Blanchard said the Louisiana
delegates did not approve Marsden's con-
duct.
Chairman Richardson ruled Marsden's $;
point not debatable. He referred it to.
the Committee on Rules
Marsden was hustled off the platform
and took his seat.
The third ballot was taken up.
Colorado changed to Bryan amid
cheers
Governor Waller, of Connecticut. was
early tn his seat in the convention nall
this morning. To representative of
the United Press he said
THE action of this convention has left
only one course for the sound money men
to pursue. They must, if they desire to
hold the Democratic party together in the
East, call a convention and nominate a
man upon the gold platform. This con-
vention assembled here has sounded the
death knell of free silver. Their high
handed method of procedure will be re-
sented by Democrats generally The sill
yer men here have overridden themselves
and left the way open for the gold men to
bolt their nominees"
Until the complimentary votes are got
out of the way, and it will take two more
ballots to do this, no accurate opinion
can be formed as to the probable nominee
The younger and less experienced dele
gates believe that there will he a short.
sharp and decisive fight The older hands
predict long siege and probably dark
horse. The Bland men express great con-
fidence this morning. They say they have
had some accessions and no defections
since last night. But the talk st!u runs
to Bryan, the effect of whose speech has
not yet worn off. All the young element in
the convention is for him, but this very
fact is being urged against him, as it is
said he lacks age and experience. Teller
seems to have dropped out of
sight. It is the general opinion that the
Convention will nominate a Democrat
The situation is much perplexed by the
action of the gold men. Any considerable
number of States follow the example of
New York and abstain from voting, an.
embarrassing question will arise as to
whether these delegations are to be treat
eu as absent OF present IN counting the
two-thirds necessary for nomination.
Speaker Reeds rule may come into play,
but Blackburn will, of course, drop out
after one or two votes, and the Ken
lucky delegation will probably go to
Bryan.
Nebraska is not actively pushing Bryan
The delegation from that State are at
heart Matthews men and are much dis
appointed at the weakness Of the Mat
thews boom. They seem 10 manifest
some slight jealousy of Bryan's phenom-
email success. Boies does not seem to
gain strength, but may be a good sec
ond choice. His friends say he controls
the situation. Pennsylvania viii vote
steadily for Pattison all through the bali
lots. Bland seemed easily in the lead.
but his strength falls far short Of the
required two-thirds. Three hundred and
twenty-five votes on the first ballot Is
the highest claim made by his friends
