will now read in your hearing, from Richard
Parks Bland: I wish it to be understood that
I do not desire the nomination unless it is the
judgment Of the free silver delegates that

After Some Much-Needed Rest Is Bright
and Clipper.
CONVENTION HALL, July 11.-Mr. VIM.
j. Bryan managed to get some much
needed rest Friday night. the first for
several days. He had gone to bed with
the rising of the sun Friday morning
and was up about again by the time
most men open their eyes. He slept
later than usual, but the rest did
him good and he looked better
and fresher than after the long hours
of anxiety and excitement incident to
his candidacy. People were crowding
into Mr.. Bryan's room at the Clifton
house when a United Press reporter
called there, and all were being re-
ceived pleasantly by the candidate and
his wife. Mr.. Bryan told the re-
porter that he had postponed his de-
parture from Chicago to Salem,
ILL.,, his birth place. until Monday
morning next He and Mrs. Bryan
will go there on one of the regular
trains and will remain for the rest of
the week.
II have nothing to say for publica-
ton to-day" said Mr.. Bryan, except
that I am so overwhelmed with con-
gratulatory kilograms that 1T will take
several weeks before will be able to
answer all of them"

of the new government building. A
myriad of school children witnessed
the unwilling ceremony, as did
the members of all the pa
triotic orders, including those
of colonial and revolutionary descent.
After the unwilling a huge American

Evening Session.

CHICAGO, July TO-
The proceedings OF the evening were opened
few minutes before p m. when Senator
White, of California, the chairman. called the
convention to order. At that time ex-Gov.
Flower and fair proportion of the New York
delegates occupied seats in their section,
Senator Hill and Mr.. William c. Whitney
having left the city in the afternoon Most of
the New Jersey delegates were also present
The fact that both these state delegations had
declined to participate in the balloting for the
presidential candidate made their presence
a matter Of remark.
The chairman announced that after the nomi
nation for vice-president should be made
whenever that might beg the committee on
notification would at once meet in the room of
the committee resolutions. to the right of
the chair.
The vast crowd that packed the galleries was
doomed to disappointment however, as it soon
developed that there was hitch somewhere
in the choice of candidate for vice. president
which it had appeared earlier in the evening
would have fallen on John r. Mclean. of Gin
cinnati. This became apparent when Gov.
Stone. OF Missouri, was recognized to move an
adjournment, which, after some spirited oppo-
sition. was agreed to and the convention adj
journed until ten o clock Saturday morning.
