declaring that debate was not in order.
1t became evident that The Bland move
was not success, and Gov. Stone Of Mis-
Souri,, who had withheld the vote OF his

When Missouri was called GOV. Stone said:
"UDder Instructions OF the ma iori,y OF the
delegarion, Missouri casts her thirty votes

This was cheercd. but the second attempt
to turn the Convention over to Bland did
not make much further progress, Arthur
Sewall running him close. When New York
, again declined TO vote the people IN the
| galleries, led by a man at the back of tie
! platform, once more raised yell, and q
delegate from Minnesota said the Conven-

in this way and lie would ask that the

quiet.
The chairman repeated his stereotyped
threat of clearing the galleries and there
| was comparative quiet until Michigan
| changed her 28 votes from Sewaii to Nc
Lean, when there was an outburst OF ap-
| Iause.

tion OF Mr.. Bryan has his warm and hearty
approval. And he thinks that the nomina-
ton OF Vice President should be with ONE
object alone in view-thaU is. the strength
ening OF the ticket. Accordingly he directs
me TO say that lie wishes his name TO
be withdrawn from the consideration OF
this convention for the position. tCheersD
The fourth ballot was then begun. In
the course of the vote Mr.. FithiaR. OF Illinois,
declared out OF order, and amid greab
confusion, that the convention could not
affor,fto nominate man for the Vice resi-

ment THE Ohio delegation has received
two kilograms from Mr.. Mclean. They
state substantially what said this morn

words, I will read what Mr.. Mclean says.
He speaks for himself, not for the Ohio
delegation:

-. ANY vote cast FOR me for Vice-Presi-
my authority. Please announce this to
the convention (Signed) J. R. MCLEAN
"Tha lis Mr.. Mclean; not the Ohio dele
gauon.r added Mfr. Sloan.
Nevertheless the effect of the telegram
was felt in the next ballot: Louisiana and
other States which had voted for Mclean
changing to Sewall, and when Wisconsin's
vote was reached, sufficient votes had been
cast for Sewali to nominate him. Illinois
promptly changed her forty-eight votes
fromM Mclean to Sewall. Kentucky followed
suit. Ohio Clipped in and procession |
OF State standards was started around the |
hallin honor OF the nominee. But there was
no cheering.

time other States were changing to SewalI |
The chair put the motion to make the l

mand of delegates the band struck up |
Dixie and there was to a small extent |
the usual cheering which accompanies that |
popular air The ending Of the long con-
veBtion was. however, exceedingly tame |
and spiritless. /
