The conclusion Of Bryan'a speech was
marked by the most enthusiastic demon
stration Of the convention up to that
time. The whole convention eprang to
it's feet, and 10000 throats roared, while
twice 10000 arms waved frantically.

Hats were hurled Rloft Umbrellas were
waved. From every quarter in the hall
came hoarse roar. Suddenly a mem

banner of the Lone Star state and car

Nebraska Above the roar rose piercing
shrieke, which sounded like volley of
siege guns above the continuous
rattle of ten thousand small arme.
Other delegates graspcd the stalls Of
their delegations and pushed their way
to the Nebraska delegation. Soon the
staifH of two-thirds Of the states were
grouped about the purple standard Of
Bryan's state. Only the standards Of
Connecticut, Delaware, Massachusetts,
