Kisses and cries Of "Ah. BAH Put him out"

Kisses and cries or An. ban! Put MIN out,
Mr.. Ingenthron, OF Illinois. inquired of
the speaker. with an attempt at whitening
sarcasm. How much did Mark Hanna give

AR Osborne eazed on the unnatural scene
with a look of mingled amazement and in
dignation upon his face. Chairman Zeis-
ler's sense OF justice was aroused to such
a pitch that Ee raped sharply with his
Gavei and said with considerable stern
ness. 'The delegates Will recognize that
Mr.. Osborne has a perfect right 10 enter
tain what opinions ne pleaSeS ana Iney
should be fair enough TO allow him an OPP
portunity 10 express them" Many OF the
delegates who had not quite lost their
senses applauded Mr.. Zeisler heartily for
his manly stand against bigotry. With the
restoration OF something resembling or
der. Mr.. Osborne made a motion that the
third recommendation in the platform, in
dorsing Mr.. Bryan specifically. be stricken
out. Instantly Director Ingenthron asked
II Mr.. Osborne were not a member OF the
Third party. and. If so, by what right ne
was speaking TO the delegates. Chairman
Zeisler promptly squelched the gentleman
from Illinois with. IF L had not known

A BRYAN APPEAL.
Mr.. Goldman, of Massachusetts,. leaped in
to the breach and set the delegates to APP
plauding and cheering again by making a
rousing appeal for Endorsement and support
of Bryan. lis there a man here" he in
quired, sarcastically, who intends to vote
against the dictates OF his own con-
science? He was taking a fling at Mr..
Osborne. who had intimated that, in sup
porting MIR. Bryan, some of the Anti-impe-
riaIists would be doing violence to their
own consciences- The reason given by Mr..
Goldman for supporting Bryan was that

Mr. Sample. OF Minnesota, said: Every
drop of blood I'm my veins is Republican,
and all OF the prejudices and bases con-
scious and unconscious, which would tend
TO prevent one situated as / am from Vot-
Ing the Democratic ticket In a national
election have been felt i'm their rational and
full intensity" and then proceeded to de-
clare that he intended to do violence TO his
better judgment by supporting the candida
cy of William j. Bryan, a sentiment which
was heartily applauded by almost the en-
tire handful OF delegates.
Mr.. Bancroft. of Illinois. representing
the conservative element which was largely
In the minority, made an Intellectual plea

body to stand upon
The liberality and fairness Of Chairman
Zeisler was again strikingly shown when
he recognized John Jay Chapman, of New
York who was known to favor the third
ticket movement.
Mr.. CHAPMAN KISSED.
Mr.. Chapman provoked a storm of pro-
test, in the shape of Kisses. when he re-
marked. Maybe before this congress con-
cludes Mr.. Boutwell,, Mr.. winslow and
other leaders of this Anti-imperialist con-
vention will receive kilograms from Mr..
Hill, from Mr.. Croker and from Mr.. Jones,
commencing the action of this congress in
indorsing the candidacy of Bryan" Mr..
Chapman spoke with great eloquence and

Therefore, IL would be hypocrisy in US to

Mr.. Chapman. In conclusion Mr.. Chapman
said: When Mr.. Bryan is defeated this fall

imperialism from the wreck AT the men

cried p him out. Once more Chair

By many of the more sober thinking dele
gates. Mr.. Chapman's suggestions were
heartily concurred in by Oswald Willard,
Oh New York. who made a ringing speech.
Franklin Pierce, of New York, secured
recognition and said he wanted to show the
congress that not every nti-imperiali
from New York was a third party man. Mr..
Pierce had most of his hearers with him
when he urged them to support Bryan
with their Endorsement and votes. He
raised a little laugh by referring TO Bry-
ans "Anti-fmperialist address as having
been delivered I'm Tomlinson Hall instead OF
Military Park.
ALL FOR BRYAN.
Mr.. Brown, of Illinois, Mr.. George G..
Mercer. Judge Decker. of Colorado, and
Mr.. Kurtz, of Illinois, spoke along the
same line as that followed by Mr.. Pierce
and the other extremists. An adjournment
was then taken until 2 o'clock in the after
noon, with the understanding that the de-
bate should be resumed at that time
speeches being limited to ten instead OF
five minutes.
Shortly after adjournment an old, white
