Louisiana, Connecticut and Virginia. The demonstration had resolved it. self into a Parker outbreak more than testimonial to Bryan, and it so re- mained to the finish which was eigh- teen minutes after MT. Bryan entered l the hall.
 Parker men claimed that they had information before entering the hall that a Bryan demonstration had been arranged.
 As the noise began to subside, Chair man Williams seized huge megaphone and endeavored to announce that the recess had ended, and it was time for the convention to come to order. It was | finally ascertained that the committee on credentials was ready to report. Just at this instant MT. Bryan arose in his place, and began to make his way to the platform. As soon as this was ob- served. up went the convention again on it's feet, and cheers arose with fresh vigor.
 THE ILLINOIS CONTEST.
 MT. Bryans object in going to the platform was to present the minority report of the credentials committee. He is a member of the committee by proxy, bearing that of Delegate Cas- par of Nebra ska. When MT. Bryan was fully on the platform the specta- tors :n the gallery to the rear gave him a cheer. He turned around and made many bows.
 | Chairman Head of the committee, had not yet put in his appearance, with the majority report of the com mittee and Delegate Kerr, of Pennsyl- vania. was dispatched for him. MT. Head read the report which declared in favor of seating all the delegates who were on the temporary roll call with the exception of Alfred Orendorf, who was substituted for Duncan C. Best in the Twenty first district of Illinois.
 No signs of approval or disapproval greeted the decision of the committee He announced that a minority report had been submitted in the case of the District of Columbia and he understood one was to be submitted in the Illi- l 1ois cases. When Mr. Head moved the adoption of the report Chairman Will Hams asked if there was a demand foI | 2 division of the question.
 Mr. Bryan endeavored to address the chair. Chairman Head replied to the advocates of a division of the vote saying that he hoped the convention would eliminate the District of Column bia from being a further source Oi trouble to the national executive body On viva voce vote, Chairman Williams announced that the noes had it.
 The report of the committee wa: adopted, and -ir. Williams turned u MT. Bryan, and said: The chair now recognizes MT. Bryan in the matter oi the contests from the state of Illinois,
 This was enough to start up tho Bryan cheer again. But MT. Bryan al once beckoned for silence with his right hand, while he held his minority repor. on the IIlipo.s contests in his left.
 In moment he had the cheering checked, and began reading the report His voice was clear and he was heard plainly all through, though not using an extraordinary voice. The conventiU remained in attentive silence, whicl was emphasized by comparison witl the wild confusion that had prevailed almost continually since the conven tion began it's first outbreak at
