sufficiently trained in the technique
Of the professional politician to avoid
marring the general harmony and per.
speotive of the picturesque scene. But
never in the history OF national con-
ventions has 9 political PARTY been
subjected to such a humilisting spec
tacle, as that witnessed in the unmer.
ciful exposure made OF its leaders,
when its chief candidate discovered
that the party leaders had shirked q
plain responsibility and bad trans
ferred to his shoulders the principal
burden of his party's woes. In the
splendid rhetorical prologue prepared
by the Hon. Martin W. Littleton, and
by the astute tactics Of the New York
money contingent managed by Grover
Cleveland, a grand stage play was at
tractively projected at the expense Of
the silver heretics in the party the
clustering egotism Of the irrepressi-
BILE Bryan had been momentArily sup
pressed, and by q unique shifting OF
the scenes the restless multitude OF
disappointed followers of defeated
candidates had become moodily Gained.
BY the oily assurances in the spell
bound utterances of Manager Littlvton,
the discontinued hosts OF Hearst and
Bryan were promised . feast Of good
things in November next, under
ohieftain who would lead them mp
toward the future into an atmosphere
OF party peace" He was graphically
described as a leader whose couspicu-
Gus silence, in not outlining a
policy for his party 10 due to his
excessive loyal desire to be the
humble servant of his party and not
its dictator. He was beautifully
portrayed as one Of those firm paci-
fic diguities, whose unruffled equa-
nimity from long judicial habit of
mind had grown into q faithful
observance Of constitutional re-
straint," and was boastfully con-
trasted with the candidate of the
Republican party, who was charac-
terized Is one who makes q stealthy
hunt with a big stick" To the de-
luded and disconnected delegates,
then smarting under defeat, he was
defined as one whose uprivalled skill
and ability would, out Of the SEEM
ingly hopeless muddle in which they
were involved, secure 1.-THE unctuous
unanimity which springs from the
unconfiicting emotions of solitary
man" In the ceaseless torrent of
wordy pyrotechpics that overwhelmed
the delegates, the warning cry OF
Bryan against the secret machins-
tions of the Cleveland gold bugs.
and his appeal to the courage Of the
convention for an outspoken declsra-
ton on the money question, went IN
needed, and the vanquished Bryan in
modification retired from the con
vention hall. Nominations were p-o.

the business Of the convention was
suddenly interrupted by the follow ing
sensational telegram:
