Is of Laura Don, now dead: "She had

John Il. Raymond, the star or the COM
pany, should be cOntrastingly cOmical

not have 1t so. Nor was 1t anything In
Miss Don's appearance, for she was
beautiful, nor In her acting, for 1t was
clever, that made the people laugh. 1t
came of a miscalculation by the author.
The quick-witted woman, seeing that
she could not control the audience, re.
solved to humOr 1t. BY an exaggeratlon

the report of the committee on Gre
dentials. These matters were accom-
plished without difficulty. When Mr..
Patterson had finished his speech the
convention. at 1920 p. NJ, adjourned,
as the committee on resolutions was
not ready to report.
Wen the convention reassembied the
committee was not ready to report and
the convention gave attention to adj
dresses pertinent to the occasion. One
OF these was by Mrs. Mcdonald
Valesch. lady delegate from the
District of Columbia. who reviewed in
a forcible manner the labor troubles
of Idaho.
Contrary to expectation of some Of
the delegates the resolutions aroused
no debate. and with these once adopt
ed the convention found itself rather
suddenly and unexpectedly face to
face with the nomination of candi-
dates. Mr.. Bryan's nomination was
by exclamation and was accomplished
with expedition and tact There were
half score Of speecses in Mr. Bryan's
behalf. All these were brief and
pointed. while full of praise to the
candidate. The speakers were led of
by Senator Allen of Mr..
Bryans Own State
and ne was followed in quick success
sion by ex-Congressman Jerry Simp-
son of Kansas, Cyclone" Davis of
Texas. Senator Marion Butler of
North Carolina and one or two others.
Each Mention of Mr.. Bryan aroused
enthusiasm, and when there was a
call to rise in support Of a PROPOSE
ton to make his nomination unani-
nous. not only did every delegate
rise In his seat. but each rose with a
shout and hurrah and with wav-
ing of hands. The scene was an an
imated one. but 1t was not prolonged,
and after minote or two Of demon.
stration. the delegates sank back into
their seats. Thus was Mr. Bryan
again formally made a candidate for
the presidency. And thus was his
campaign of 1900 inaugurated. Then
towards the close OF the afternoon
session began the real contest Of the
convention. This was the fight over
