Then Came The Fireworks.
Mr.. Oldham delivered his euogy of Mr.
Bryan with imprisoned fervor. AS he
approached the close of his address. he
raised both hands high over his head and
spoke slowly and with an energy that
caused his voice to penetrate INTO every
corner of the hall

lower with each word until the last had
been uttered, when he brought them up
with a sweep, but quicker than his mo-

across the convention, 1t was q sinful

His explanation of his position on the
platform and his acquiescence with the
will of the majority called for hearier
applause than had been evident before,
and the good offices of the band were
again necessary to get attention for him.
This nomination Will meet the approval
of the East" he said, and enfhused his
auditors. In closing, he said:
New York expects to join with you with
her thirty-six electoral votes" and then
as he stepped down from the platform the
convention became a bedlam again. Hill

raised, and delegates all over the hall were
on their feet, except the Tammany men.
Ex-senator Murphy. as Hill passed 10
his seat, gTsped his hand and shook it
heartily. Then Mr. Shea of Brooklyn did
the same and others in the row, but Mr.
Croker sat immobile. and Hill passed him
without salutation. The applause for SEN
ator Hill continued for some minutes.
When order was restored, the secretary
of the convention proceeded with the cah
of states. Tenant Lomax of Alabama
briefly seconded the nomination of Mr.
Bryan. During his speech the vast au-

existed that it was extremely difficult to
