It was not accompanied by any such frantic demonstration of ap proval as had marked the proceedings at previous stages, although the result followed a spirited and at times highly dramatic contest between the advo- cates of Stevenson, TOwne, Hill and the lesser candidates. A distinct triumph of the day in the way of a popular demonstration was that accorded to Senator Hill and this spontaniety and its wild enthusiasm was one of the most notable features the convention has produced.

 TONNES NAME CHEERED. On the call for nominations. Alabama yielded to Minnesota and the latter state presented it's young champion of silver republicanism and democracy, Charles A. Towne. The mention of his name was a signal for a flatterinS de- monstration in his honor men and wo- men joining in the outburst. For ten minutes the demonstration to Towne lasted with varying degrees of inten- sity.
