"SILVER DICK"
Demonstration for Him Followed
Mr.. Vests Remarks.

Demonstration for Him Followed
Mr.. Vests Remarks.
The senators closing words were the
signal for another Bland demonstra-
ton, this time long, loud and enthu-
siastic. banner bearing the well
known face Of "Silver Dick was hoist
ed in the middle aisle The convention
rose in a mass, waved hats and hand
kerchiefs. The Bland banner was car
ried down to the platform, then around
the delegates. From every quarter Of
the hall, Bland banners made their APP
pearance, some bearing his picture.
Others, 16 to 1, and others voicing the
''invincible and irrepressible' senti-
ments Of the Missouri candidate.
Meanwhile the wild clamor continued.
One man far up among the spectators
turned an umbrella inside out and
waved it madly The bearers of BAN
ners and transparencies formed in
twos and tours and circled the hail. To
add to the great volume Of sound both
bands played simultaneously
It was fourteen minutes before Chair
man Richardson attempted to check
the demonstration.
Gov. Overmeyer, of Kansas, began to
make the seconding speech under diff
culties, for small riot was stirring
In front of the platform when he swept
his right arm across the arena. When
quiet was restored he delivered his ad-
dress and again set the silver men to
cheering. Another seconding speech
was made by Ex-Congressman John
r. Williams, of Illinois, who said he
had served four years on the coinage
committee of the house of representa-
tfves with the Missouri statesman, and
he paid homage to his honesty, intel
ligence and fidelity. Coming from an
Illinois man the delegates thought
they saw a reference to Vice President
Stevenson in. the adjuration not to
nominate a man whose "breathless
silence on this burning question" need
ed explanation. Another Bland cheer
was attempted after this speech, but
the delegates were too tired to shout
With the close of Mr.. Williams
speech, the roll was resumed. On the
call of California, the chairman, DIR. w.
w. Foote, announced that the Is votes
Of that state were instructed for Sena-
tor Stephan M. White, but under the
positive request of Mr.. White, his
name would not be presented. Ex-Gov
Waller, of Connecticut, announced that
the Connecticut delegation was in con-
ference and desired to be passed for the
present.
Ex-senator Patrick Walsh spoke
when Georgia was called, announcing
lHdl the ueleSdJiOn mao selected Col.
L. Lewis to nominate the man for whom
Georgia would vote. No one knew
whom Mr.. Lewis intended to name,
so the elements Of uncertainty cloud
ing his purpose gave him a close hear
ing. "He needs no speech to recon-
mend him to this convention" said
Mr.. Lewis and bryan" was spoken
everywhere. Then after his eloquent
encomiums, Lewis said: 81 refer to the
Honorable William F. Bryan, of

CANADA is INVITING TROUBLE.
Dominion Engineers Surveying the
Disputed Minnesota Line.

DULUTH, July "a large party of
Canadian engineers are at work MAX
ing resurvey of the boundary line be-
tween Minnesota and Canada. There
are fourteen in the party, which Is
equipped with provisions enough to last
all summer There is no representa-
tive of the United States in the party,
and this Is very strange, as it was UNI
derstood that the United States was to
be represented in the survey. There Is
a dispute between Minnesota and Can
ada as to whether Hunters Island Is
north or south of the boundary line.
Minnesota and Canada both claim it.
The island Is valuable for it's iron ore
and other mineral deposits. The sur
veying party started at the northwest
point Of the state of Minnesota and are
working westward The Canadians
are also destroying the splendid water
power in Pigeon river, the center of
which stream Is the boundary line, by
blowing up the rock, over which the
river falls make sheer descent of I40
feet. It Is understood that this work is
being done with the consent of the Ca
madam government and In the interest
of the lumber men of that section.
The falls constitute q fine water power
and 1t is not thought that the work is
being done with the Nconsent of the
United States government, which is
very much interested In the river and
falls.

TREMENDOUS OVATION.
Demonstration for Bryan the Great
est of the Convention.


The conclusion Of Mr.. Bryan's speech
was marked by the most enthusiastic
demonstration Of the convention up to
that time. The whole convention sprang
to its feet and 10000 threats roared
while twice twenty thousand
arms waved frantically. Hand
kerchiefs and flags flew wild
ly. Hats were hurled aloft.
Umbrellas were waved. From every
quarter Of the hall came the hoarse
roar. Suddenly member of the Texas
delegation uprooted the banner of the
Lone Star state and carried 1t to where
stood the standard of Nebraska Above
the roar rose piercing shrieks which
sounded like a volley of siege guns,
above the continuous rattle of ten
thousand small arms. Other delegates
grasped the STATS Of their delegations
and pushed their way to the Nebraska
delegation. Soon the stats Of two
thirds of the states were grouped about
the purple standard of Bryan's state.
Only the standards Of Connecticut.
Delaware, Massachusetts, Maine, Min
nesota, New York, New Jersey. New
Hampshire, Vermont, South Dakota,
Rhode Island and Pennsylvania were
left standing, when the demonstration
was at its height. Ell st
Meantime the awful roar from the
galleries continued. The band played,
but the music could not be heard above
the Niagara-like tumult of sound Like
an angry ocean 1t swept on breaking,
at last, receding, falling back, only to
rise again. Delegates fairly Jumped
for joy. Some of them took possession
of the aisles and marched. Suddenly
the state standards, clustered at Ne.
braska, were borne away in single file
through the aisles of the pit. After
fifteen minutes of this disturbance the
delegates and crowds sank back ex-
hausted.
When all were seated Delegate SauIs-
bury, of Delaware, climbed back on his
chair. He and his three silver col.
leagues in that state gave three cheers
for Bryan, which were answered with
shout from the gallery of Whats the
matter with Bryan for PRESIDENT"
The recipient of all this honor made
his way with difficulty from the stage.
For ten minutes his friends had fairIv
smothered him with congratulations.
When at last he reached his chair on
the floor, he leaned back seemingly
completely exhausted. One of his coll
leagues famed him, while the others
of the delegation hung affectionatelv
over him and wrung his hand
BUSINESS RESUMED.
The transaction of business was

The people are not iconoclasts, nor

lowed Jefferson when he assailed the
centralizing and monarchial doctrines
of the old federalists, and was de-
nounced as communist and leyelIer
by the wealth and culture of New Eng
land and New York. They followed
Jackson when he took the United
States bank by the throat, and was
proclaimed tyrant and ruffian by the
usurers and money kings. They fol-

The convention took up the previous
question and the clerk read the sub
stitute for the platforms financial
plank. An Oregon delegate doomed up
with motion to lay Senator Hill's mo-
ton on the table, but Chairman Rich
ardson informed him that under the
rules that would carry the main ques-
ton with 1t and the Oregonian was
laughed at for his pains.
The ayes on the question were not
loud, but the noes gave a great shout,
whereupon Senator Hill, with uplifted
hand. demanded the call Of states.
In behalf Of Alabama, Chairman
Bankhead announced that but for the
unit rule five delegates would vote for
the substitute. Delaware cast one
silver vote on the question--that of
John F. Salisbury, and Delegates Root
and Ward voted on the silver side
Three Massachusetts, votes were an
nounced for silver. Michigan swung
her twenty-eight votes for silver for
the first time since the contesting dele
gates were seated. Two Pennsylvania
delegates were for silver but under the
unit rule, their votes counted for the
other SIDE.

great chorus of noise. The blue ban
ner, with the placard ''Wm. ]. Bryan
club of Nebraska, Is to IT, emblazoned
in silver letters, was lifted above Ne
braska's seats. The standards of Geor-
g1a, North Carolina, Louisiana, Michi-
gan and South Dakota rallied around
the blue and silver emblem, and then
the standard bearers started a march
around the pit. Men in the California
and Virginia stalls bounced upon their
emblems intending to follow the pro-
cession, but their colleagues resisted
the attack, and they gave it up.
Two bands intensified the din, ana a
fog horn was blown with a tremendous
wall up under the roof When order
was partially restored, w. G.. Clutz, Of

There were few cheers mingled
with mere Kisses. Upon Mr.. HIPS
demand, the vote was then taken by
states on the adoption of the platform.
1t was taken in almost total silence.
AS New York and Pennsylvania cast
their big block Of votes against the
platform, however, there was consider
able cheering. 5

ms two amendments, one relating to
the impairment of contracts and the
other declaring that the advocacy of
nee coinage was based on the belief
that the two metals could he main

ever, on another resolution which he
offered to commend the national admin

delegates declined to vote. The an
nouncement Of the defeat Of the resolu-

slight splutter OF misses, Tb" go q
in detail was as follows:
