THE CONVENTION GOES WILD.
Then ensued perhaps the most extraordinary
scene of this extraordinary Convention. As II by
the magic touch Of wand delegation after dele
cation rose In solid phalanx and gave vent to the
most enthusiastic demonstration In honor OF the
Nebraska orator Everybody stood up even the
Eastern men, who at first were disposed to remain
In their seats Westerners shouted, waved hand
kerchiefs hats. flags, canes. umbrellas and any
thing else conspicuous and portable. Deafening
cheers rent the air and articles OF every descrip-
ton were thrown high above the surgng sea OF
humanity. The STATS bearing the names OF the
States were held aloft with flags and other things
on top and waved to and fro When that pastime
became too tame. led by Mr.. Galwood. of Texas.
nearly all the silver States and Territories. and
some gold States Joined in a procession bearing
the State poles. and marched In triumph around
the floor Some of the Eastern States kept their
sign STATS in their places and confined their ex-
pressions to standing up and giving a mild cheer
of an hour, and no effort was made by the chair
man or sergeant-at-arms to check its tempestuous
progress.
Away to the west and north and south OF the
platform In the multitude Of spectators the
demonstration Of the delegates was repeated. Hun
dreds of umbrellas opened by the appar-
entity crazed people. Harmless missiles Of paper
and other things were hurled through the air on
the delegates heads. The remarkable feature OF
this wild outburst was that Its spontanety was
apparent. and 1t was so much a personal tribute
TO Mr. Bryan that Eastern delegates who differed
with him caught the infection and Joined In mod
erately. Nebraska's delegation was the cynosure
OF observation and the smooth-faced silver cham
p:on who had electrified the Convention sat I'M
