With cheers anu applause the resolu-
tion was adopted while the band in the
south gallery played patriotic airs.
Then dramatic scene occurred. AS
the vast audience was Qnieting down
to listening to the reading of the read
ing Of the Declaration two men appear
ed on the platform, bearing carefully
in their arms two large objects, each
completely shrouded in the Stars and
Stripes. They were placed the one up
on the other Immediately to the
right and front of the chairman. Del
egates and spectators craned their
necks to see what was about to occur.
Quickly advancing to the flag-draped
objects, handsome man deftly lift
ed the flag from splendid bust OF Mr..
Bryan. AS the familiar features OF
their leader were recognized by the del

side to side the bust was turned, that
all might know whom it represented.
When the applause had subsided
Chas. Hampton, of Petoskey. Mich.

Senator Jones, silver-haired aud seri-
GUS, advanced to the front Of the stage.
He held a roll of manuscript in his
hands. But it was useless to talk
against such a tumult and he dropped
back in his seat until order was being

and Mr.. Jones, in clear voice, an

heard throughout the hall.
AS he proceeded each plank was
greeted with applause. The Senator
accompanied his reading with emrnat-
ic gestures, striding up and down the
platform, turning this way and that,
after his manner in the Senate. There
was a howl of approval as he clenched
his fist and freely arraigned the
course of the administration in Cuba.
But it remained :" his reading of the
declaration that imperialism Is the
paramount issue Of this campaign" to
evoke a storm of applause. The dele
gates sprang to their feet. standing on
their chairs, waving hats, handker-
chiefs, umbrellas and flags, while the
