A few moments after the platform was adopted, one of these six delegates call ed attention to the fact that pictures of other Democrats were displayed Tn the hall. and none of Bryan as here tofore. He started to carry small banner with Bryan's picture on 1t to the platform. The aisles were ordered cleared but the picture did not reach its destination. 1t was trampied un- der foot and spoiled during the wild demonstrations when Kilbourne was escorted into the hall. While 1t IS gen. orally believed that the marching clubs did not know they were walking over comment after the Convention that the picture was not treated worse than had been the old standard beaer him. self by the Committee on Resolutions and the Convention.
