their delegation and was replied TO
from the platform by Delegate Dockery
one of the silver hotspurS from Wiscon-
sin. He aroused great enthusiasm by
declaring that if Wisconsin's will was
stifed here il would be heard for silver
in November.
THAT is not true" shouted several
gold men in the delegation. Chairman
White appealed TO the delegates not 10

Ten gold men in the Michigan delega-
ton refused 20 vote. The silver vote
was divided as follows: Bryan Z; Boies
5; Bland 4.
Delegate Stevenson, Don NJ. Dicken-
sons law partner, caused considerable
delay by challenging the vote of the
state and with nine colleagues declin-

CATION TO delegation counseling the
gold men not 10 vote.
8Iississippi's vote for Bryan, and Mis-

braska' 3 announcement of sixteen votes
for 1.-THE silver knight of the west, VIII
liam J. Bryan" created great enthus-
ism. New Hampshire's cry was that
Delegate Doyle voted for Pattison and
the other seven delegates declined 10
vote, and the intelligence fell on silent
house.
NEW JERSEY DECLINES.
It remained for New Jersey TO stir
the first really sensational passage. Nc
Dermott, from his chair shouted: ''The
state of New Jersey respectfully de-
cIines to vote" (fisses.)
Sputterings of applause greeted each
OF these announcements.
Louisiana voted for Bryan Maine
gave five votes for Bryan and seven for
Pattison. Delegate Hamilton of Mas
sachusetts asked that Massachusetts be
passed, as the chairman and vice chair
man of the delegation were absent.
O'Sullivan, one OF the silver men in the
delegation, shouted that the gold men
were away because they did not intend
to participate in the future proceedings.
NEW YORK REACHED.
New York was listened for as the
crucial point, on whose action the De-
mocracy Of the east was depending for
its keynote. Ex-Governor Flower said {:
TN view of the platform adopted by
this convention and Of its action and
proceedings I am instructed by the New
York delegation 70 say that we win not
participate in the selection of a can
didate for president or vice president.
and therefore decline to vote"
The great body Of New Yorks ad-
herents in the galleries sent up storm
Of approval, but other cries were heard
of Put 'ern out; put 'em out!''
The clerk consumed several minutes
in computing che results Of the first bal
lot, during which the crowd buzzed ex-
citedly. Senator Whites voice had
been failing him and Richardson of
Tennessee again took the gavel during
this intermlssion- The result was an
nounced by the reading clerk as fol-
lows:
Bland DOB; Bryan 1o5; Boies So; Nc
Lean "a; Pattison 50; Pennoyer 10;
Blackburn SO; Campbell .; Tillman II;
Russell 2; Stevenson 2; Hill 1; Teller
s. Absent and not voting 1S5.
The chairman's request that parti-
sans refrain from cheering during the
announcement was complied with and
strangely enough there was no demon
stration at the close. Delegates were
too deeply interested in business, and
spectators too intent upon the figures
to Interrupt business. "Coldwater'
Marsden was on his chair shouting that
the two-thirds rule would be abrogated,
but he got no attention.
SECOND ROLL CALL.
The second roll call was begun and
furnished sensa ton at the outset, for

Montana. Two New Jersey deIegat ties

enthusiasm, Tillman speaking of Bryan
as the emancipator of white slaves
