WHEN THE BREAK CAME.

On the fourth ballot, Alabama, the
first state to vote, headed the stam-
pede to Bryan. Idaho, California and
other states followed. The revolt in
the, other delegations spread, even
among those bound by resolutions of
instruction. Kansas, illinois, Ohio and
even Iowa wero tottering. On the fifth
and last ballot, Kansas went over. H.
linois and other states came tumbling
along in her wake. When Ohio was
reached Bryan had 44G votes of the
504 required to make two-thirds ma
jority. Chairman White had ruled
that two-thirds of those voting consti-
tuted the two-thirds majority under
the rule. The Bryan men in the dele
cation demanded the poll of the vote.
The friends of Mclean saw that the
end was in sight and Mr.. Mclean him
self mounted chair. He withdrew his
name as a candidate and cast the forty
six votes Of Ohio for Bryan. This gave
him 492-twelve less than enough to
nominate. Montana changed her six
votes to Bryan, and Oklahoma fol-
lowed with her six.

LIKE A LOCHINVAR.

Bryan is but thirty-six years old,
younger by ten years than any man ever
nominated for the chief magistracy of
the American republic. He came like
a young Lochinvar out of the west,
which has never before nominated a
candidate, to WOO the bride
for whose hand the country's greatest
chieftains have been suitors. Hisn
was barely mentioned in the preliminary
skirmishes. Four days before, when
the convention met he was not entered
in the list. But Friday he made an
speech and stirred the
to frenzy by his eloquence.
That speech overthrew the diligently
work of weeks and months
for other aspirants for the honor.

MRS. BRYAN IN THE HALL.

Until after the nomination a sweet
faced, modest-looking woman sat al
most unnoticed in one of the chairs to
the right of the stage, surrounded by a
few friends. She retained her compos-
ure midst all the excitement, but her
face glowed with pleasure as she fol-
lowed the proceedings which made her
husband famous 1t was Mrs Bryan.
Immediately after the nomination,
when it became noised about that she
was there, and there was rush to see
and congratulate her, she modestly
withdrew and sought her husband.

THE EAST SACRIFICED.

The cause of silver was uppermost in
the minds of the delegates when they
assembled here. For the cause they
deliberately placed the eastern wing of
the party on the altar. Now, when the
convention was coldly analyzed, it was
seen that the support of Bland and
Boies as candidates was never solidly
founded. 1t was only as the repre-
sentatives of the issue that they rallied
delegates to their standards, and even
after many of them had attached them
selves to the fortunes of the other can
didates, they appeared restless, and in
an instructive way to be casting about
for a new Moses. The far-seeing,
staid and seasoned leaders of the silver
men, realizing that their new creed
would ALLEVIATE the eastern democracy,
believed in an alliance with the silver
republicans, beyond the Missouri,
through Teller's nomination, but the
rank and file would have none of it.

NOMINATED ON THE FIFTH BALLOT.

William Jennings Bryan, of Nebras
ka, the classic-featured orator from the
plains of the Platte, swept the conven-
ton off its feet last Friday and was
nominated for president on the fifth
ballot. Political history furnishes no
precedent for Fridays proceedings in
the Coliseum, either as great pollti-
cal show or as the result of delibera-
tions of the convention of q great po-

Speech of W. J, Bryan of Nebraska

Mr.. Russell was heartily cheered at
the conclusion of his remarks. During
the excitement w. j. Bryan of Nebras-
ka ascended the platform, and as soon
as the audience recognized him he was
accorded noisy reception. When suf-
ficient quiet was secured to enable Mr.
Bryan to be heard he addressed the
convention as follows:
'Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of
this Convention would be presump-
tious indeed to present myself against
the distinguished gentlemen to whom
you have listened if this were but a
measuring of ability, but this is not a
contest among persons. The humblest
citizen in all the land when clad in the
armor of righteous cause is stronger
than all the whole hosts of error that
they can bring. I come to speak to
you in defense of cause holy as the
cause ofliberty-the cause of humanity.

PROGRESS OF THE SILVER MOVEMENT.
"On the 4th of March, 1895, few
democrats, most of them members of
congress, issued an address to the
democrats of the nation, asserting that
the money question was the paramount
issue of the hour; asserting also the
right of majority of the democratic
party to control the position of the par
ty ON this paramount issue concluding
with the request that all believers in
free coinage of silver in the democratic
party should organize and take charge
of and control the policy of the demo-
cratic party. Three months later, at
Memphis, an organization was perfect
ed, and the silver democrats went forth
openly and boldly and courageously
proclaiming their belief, and declaring
that if successful they would crystallize
in a platform the declaration which
they had made; and then began the
conflict, with zeal approaching the

WILLIAMS NEW CICERO.

Thursday when Bryan made his
speech, the delegates suddenly saw in
him the great advocate of their cause,
and they turned to him with an i'm
petuosity that nothing could balk.
They wanted a tribune of the people.
They felt they had found him in the
eloquent young Nebraskan, who set
their imaginations on fire. If he had
been placed in nomination then, the
convention would have been stampeded
as it was Friday Some of the gray
haired leaders saw and feared it. Thurs
day night, when he was placed in
nomination, those who thought they
had found their candidate were con-
frmed in their opinion The idea which
George Fred Williams, of Massachu-
setts, conveyed in his second speech
that it needed the strength of youth to
endure the hardships of a new cause,
that a young arm should WELD the
scimitar of an indignant people, sank
home. Here, as Williams said, was the
new Cicero to meet the new Catilines
of today.

was apparent that Bryan would be
nominated on the next ballot. The
colors of the states were again uproot-
ed, and the Coliseum for fourteen min
utes shook with the storms of cheers,
while frenzied men marched and sang
and hysterical women became frantic.

Then Came Bryan of Nebraska.

Then there were loud cries for Bryan,
The tall Nebraskan started rapidly
down the aisle toward the platform.
AS he began ascending the steps and
his head appeared above the shoulders
of those about the platform the earnest
cheering began in the front row of
delegates and spread backward across
the floor and up through the galleries.
1t jumped the speakers stand into the
distinguished guests section. Before
the Nebraskan had reached the top
step of the short stairs, which he as
cended on the run, the fury of the ap-
plause had swept beyond the galleries
into the lobby and out through the en-
frances into the street, where the exiled
crowds caught up the refrain. The
galleries stood up. The distinguished
guests stood up. The crowds around
the entrances surged forward. Iowa
raised her flags and led in the waving
of handkerchiefs, which made whitecaps
to the turbulent sea that walled up
against the roof of the Coliseum. Dele
gates climbed upon their chairs. The
Nebraskans tied red bandanas to their
canes and the landmarks of sections
were lost in forest of sticks.
A dull rumble accompanied the wild
cheering. Enthusiasts, tired of the
strain in their throats, were beating the
floor with feet, umbrellas and canes.
The rumble increased to q roar and the
roar to the thunders of Niagara.
Above the uproar came the shrill cries
of Bryan, Bryan. What's the matter
with Bryan?" This brought new life
to the cheering, which began to show
the least evidence of wearing out.
Presiding Officer Richardson wrapped
bis kerchief around the handle of his
gavel and hammered his sounding-box.
Beyond the first row of delegates the
only knowledge of his efforts was in the
vigorous way he was working his arm.
The sergeant-at-arms stood upon his
platform and went through the form of
calling for order. There was no order.
No one wanted order, unless it was the
gold delegations, who alone kept their
seats and silence.
Bryan stood alone ON the platform,
slowly waving his hands for silence.
With his acquiline features, pale coun-
tenance, the backward sweep of dark
hair and the dramatic manner in which
he appealed for order, he seemed to be
an actor, standing as the central and
heroic figure in some historic scene,
His head thrown back, his foot thrust
forward, one hand on the desk, he
motioned and waited. The cheering
was renewed with every effort to sub
due it. Women in the galleries waved
Bryan flags. An awakening was had
in the ranks of the Massachusetts dele
CATION. Four or five delegates stood
up and joined the cheering. Over in
the Vermont section there were half
dozen more. Gov, Altgeld was on his
chair, but he was not cheering. Hin
richsen, too, was standing on the high
est pinnacle he could find. But these
men we're not cheering. They were
keeping track Of the weak places-ont

NO PARALLEL.

NO PARALLEL.
Some have sought to find in the nomi-
nation in 1880 of Garfield, who was not
candidate, parallel with Bryan's
nomination. But there is no parallel.
Garfield was only nominated after one
of the hardest and most protracted con-
vention contests of the century. Grant,
Blaine, Edmunds, Sherman and Wash
burn were contesting for mastery, and
after three ballots the rival leaders and
the convention turned to Garfield, who
had electrified the delegates by his
matchless oratory and commanding
presence. Friday the support of the
other candidates simply melted away,
and Bryan won without struggle.
HOW THE VOTE WENT.
On the first ballot Bland got 29S,
Bryan 1O5, Boies SO, Matthews SO, Nc
Lean "a, Pattison 05, Blackburn SO,
Pennoyer 10, Tillman II, Stevenson 2,
Teller 8, Campbell 2, Russell 2, and
Hill l.. There 1856 gold men who re-
fused to vote. They declined to partici-
pate in the nomination on the platform
which had been adopted. The latter re-
alized that the gold men would proba-
bly, place another ticket in the field, or
if they did not actively oppose the
nominees of the convention in the cam
paign which was to follow, that they
would, positively, at least, give aid and
comfort to the political enemy Penn
sylvania, alone of the gold states, con-
tinued to participate in the proceedings.
She cast her sixty-four votes for Gov.
Pattison to the end. Most of the other
gold men who voted against their in
structions were for Pattison, but there
were scattering votes for Stevenson,
Hill, Russell and Campbell. In the
second ballot Alabama sought to check
the rout that had already begun by
changing her vote from Boies to Bland,
but Bryan was overtaking him with
giant strides. Bland gained forty eight
votes while Bryan advanced ninety
two. Boies was the principal loser.
His vote dwindled to thirty.seven. On
bhe third ballot Colorado gave up hopes
of Teller the mention of whose name
had been cheered and Missed by the
galleries, and Oregon gave up Penney
er. In the Ohio delegation the Bryan
forces lacked but seven votes of ma
jority. and there was open rebellion in
Illinois and other states which wanted
to swing into line.
The comet. (Johnson City, Tenn.) 1884-1916, 1896-07-16

In the fourth ballot Bryan took the
lead and Bland fell back, hopelessly,
beaten. The nomination was unani-
nous on the next ballot.

COULDN'T STOP THE STAMPEDE.

The leaders who doubted the wisdom
of nominating so young and inexpe-
rienced man tried to check the STAN
pede by adjourning until Friday. They
hoped nights reflection would suffice.
At the suggestion of an adjournment
there was rebellion. The motion was
declared carried against storm of op-
position from the Bryan enthusiasts,
who wanted to nominate their candi-
date at once.
A nights reflection only made them
more determined. Friday morning
when the convention met to ballot,
Bryan showed second on the first roll
call He had already overhauled Boies.
Only Bland was ahead, and it was a
struggle for the Missourian to get the
93S votes which were cast for him.
