Concluded from First Page.

Hinrichsen asked leave for the Illinois
delegation to retire for consultation.
On the fourth ballot Bryan had as
sumed the lead. The reading clerk got
no further than the announcement OF
Bryan's $50 votes before there was re-
petition of the scenes of yesterday. The
coliseum swayed with enthusiasm, cheer
followed cheer, state standards were again
uprooted and carried to Nebraska.
Suddenly two beautiful young girls
dressed in pink, appeared on the table
back of the alternates' seats. Ihey heid
a large silk flag, on one side or whlch
showed the clear cut features OF Bryan.
To and fro it waved, while 10000 throats
screamed. The dance of the purple state
pu1dons about the Nebraska delegation
continued for several minutes. Then the
delegates started, Indian file, to parade
the standards about the hall.
THE ILLINOIS BANNER.
The delegates fought for the illinois
standard where Gov. Altgeld stood reso-
lutely guarding the banner. A hurried
vote was taken. Bryan carried the day
and the Sucker states banner joined the
parade.
A fist fight occurred over the posses
sion of the Buckeye state Standard but
McLean's friends, though battered and
shaken, held the fort. A big Bryan flag
was brought into the coliseum, and
milk-whte banner, on which was gold
cross with the inscription, "No crown OF
thorns, no cross of gold" reviving the
ringing words of Bryan's closing sentence
yesterday.
1t was exactly forty minutes before
the demonstration subsidized. Through
out it all Mrs. Bryan satto the right OF
the platform. Although a bright look of
pleasure lighted her features, she did not
appear excited.
Finally Chairman White said that the
proceedings had reached such a stage that
it became necessary to announce his con-
struction OF the two-thirds rule, that
o-thirds vote given were necessary to

casts her twenty-three votes for the worlds
greatest orator, William J. Bryan"

man, and "casts 43 votes for Bryan"
