None Of the delegates, outside OF
Cleveland, knew Young aSd hs vas
named because Cuyaboga wanted him.
Cuyahoga could get anything it want
ed, except the head Of the State ticket,
after the johnson srerdments were
engrafted into the McLesn platform
and that document as amended Fss
adopted with su:h unaaiuity.
It was currently reported that John
son desired the nomination Of Monett
as attorney general aud that the Nc
Lean men wanted Monett defeated.
The defeat Of Monet was so decisive
as to be feature of the convention.
Morett as attorney general had

these prosecutions. After his defeat
for the third nomination in 1899 he
supported Bryan in 1900 on the anti
tust issue and canvsssed Ohio and
other States with Bryan.

vention was OF Bryan. The most bit

of that committee offered minor

He started to carry . small bonner

form. The aisles were ordered cleared
but the picture did not reach its des'
tination. Il was trample1 ucder foot
and spoiled during the wild demon:
strstions when Kilbourns was escorted
into the hall. It is generally believed,
however, that the marching clubs did
not know they were walking over Bry-
ans picture.
The members Of the committee on
resolutions said over one hour was
