SICK OF listening to speeches and rapid
ly losing temper over the constant
succession OF speakers who mounted
the platform and clamored iiercely for

his promise that every man should
have fair show, recognized Senator
Carmack, of Tennessee.
The speaker declared that Mr..
Bryan had said that the nomination
of Judge Parker would be declaration
enough on the money plank.

pardon, but | never said that"
John S. Williams supported Mr.
bryan in his statement ana Senator
Carmack accepted the correction.
1he senator took occasion to deny
that he had ever received a mes ,age
from Judge Parker and the char
recognized Mr.. Bryan who presented
an amendment ID the reply to Judge
Parker as follows:
But as You will, il elected be called
upon To act upon certain phases on
the money question, we would like to
know whether you favor reducing the
volume Of silver dollars; whether you
favor an asset currency and branch
national banks; whether you prefer
national bank currency to United
States notes"
MIR. HEyaE then proceeded to an
Swer some OF the statements made by
those who had followed his first ad-
dress. Great applause followed his
assertion that lack OF harmony in the
party could not be laid at his door.
Mr.. Bryan woke the galleries to
enthusiasm when he declared that he
had expressed willingness to support
a gold standard man 10 build up har.

1t was 1910 when Mr.. Bryan con-
clude1 and Representative ohm Sharp
Williams rose. He plunged Without
preface into scathing arraignment
OF Mr. Bryan. Turning from time to
time he faced Mr.. Btyan, who sat
With 1mmObile countenance and
famed himself. His voice trembling,
Mr.. Williams declared that Mr..
Bryan had presented the spectacle of
man pleading for harmony when in
all this great convention his had been
the only voice OF discord. The amend
ments to the Parker telegram, he
characterized as "a lot OF foolish oues-
tions." He spoke satirically with
biting humor and great earnetness.
] Cries OF question, question:" came
SO fast that confusion reigped for
few minutes. During the confusion
an effort was made to make an ad,
journment motion. This was ruled
out Of order.
Mr. Bryan sprang to his feet and
declared that his delegation was 90
J Ing to support the candidate that New
York wanted for vice president and

would withdraw his amendment to

this amendment" said Mr.. BRYAN,
our delegation will vote for the
candidate for vice presidency that
New York wants. We are not going
to do one thing to mar the harmony
of the convention"
a roar of applause followed the an-
neuncement. After some debate g.
roll call was ordered on the question
OF adoption of the Williams reply to

han.
AS the roll call proce eded il was evil
dent unit the motion to. send the mes

The result was announced to be TIA

crowd thought that was the concf1s
sion Of the speech, and when he ,is-a-
tlnued the irreverent In the gall, W
cried 'cut it OUT" and Intellectually
tried to drown him out. He gained a
round Of applause when he finished.
When Illinois was called Clarence
Darrow seconded Hearst, at whose
name the galleries vented their enthu-
siasm. When he said: 1T seems to
be fate that the men who once scut-
tied the Democratic ship shall once
more be placed in power" there were
cheers and Kisses.
The Democracy of Jefferson; the
Democracy of Bryan" was a phrase
from Mr.. Darrow, which struck the
convention. After the shout which
followed, voice from the gallery
rang out Three cheers for Bryan. "
The cheers were given with will
Mr.. Darrow's speech enlivened the
wearying crowd.
He was followed by w. ]. Kern Of
Indiana who seconded Judge Parker S
nomination.
ROW IN IOWA.
Mr.. Sam d. Wright of Iowa caught
the convention when he declared, Il
am proud OF the fact that the great
party to which belong ordinarily be-
leves In free speech" Chairman

c!uded, gained recognition for Mr.
Rim chart, who, on behalf Of the State
of Iowa, seconded l{earst's nomina-
tion.
"The gentleman who just left the
platform,' said Mr.. Rnehart, cast
aSpersions upon the delegation from
Iowa. ] desire to cast the aspersion
back into his teeth"
MIR. Rinchart denied for himself
and all other members Of the Iowa
delegation that any money had been
received by them to induce them to
cast their vote for any candidate.
A sequel followed quickly, the dele
CATION meeting and voting to uuseat
Wright as the Iowa member of the
committee to notify the presidential
nominee. In the words Of one of the
delegation the action was taken be-
cause OF the 'imputation cast upon the
delegation" by Wright.
When Kansas was called j. G.. John.
son seconded the Hearst nomination
and was followed by David Overmeyer
OF Kansas, who placed Gen. Nelson a.
Miles In nomination.
Vigorous applause followed Mr.
Overmeyer'S mention Of the name of
Gen. Miles, but when he concluded his
address, after naming his candidate
he was frequently interrupted by the
galleries, and the applause at the con.
cluSion OF his remarks was Shortlived.
Delegate Resin Of Missouri! then in
terptsod a motion to Limit seconding
speeches to one minute, but Ducke-y
CT Missouri and Grady Of New York
objecting, the limit was plac d at four
minutes.
j. w. Orr Of Kansas thereupon

forth the wild cheers that never fail
to follow the song no matter when or
where rendered.
The delegates are invited to visit
the exposition" said Mr.. Williams,
and the clerk will read the invita-

CALLING FOR BRYAN.
The last few words were lost in
cries of "Bryan!' Bryant" that
came swift and thick from different
parts of the hall.
Cheers mingled with the calls, and
1t was fully minute before the voice
OF the clerk was able to rise above the
tumult. Mr.. Bryan remained quietly
In his seat during the demonstration
made by his friends and gave no out
ward Sign Of his recognition of the
applause that had greeted his name.
Delegate Powers, Of Michigan, was re-
cognized by Chairman Williams to re.
turn the thanks of the convention to
the exposition officials for the courtesy
shown, and made a brief speech of
acknowledgement.
The motion to accept the invitation
with which Mr.. Powers concluded was
adopted unanimously.
Sergeants-at-arms with bundles of
exposition tickets were at once sent
throughout the seats occupied by the
delegates and alternateS handing them
to the chairman cf the delegations.
When the ticket passers had nearly
finished their task the chairman an
nounced that the roll of states would
be called, each state as its name was
called to send up to the chairman's
desk the names OF its mittecman
In caucus.
While the roll call was in progress
the spectators, concluding that the
interesting scenes OF the convention
were finished for the day streamed out
by thousands. The noise of their exit
and the talking throughout the hall
was 80 great that the clerks voice
could be heard only with great diff

Bryan as member of the resolutions
committee from Nebraska, called
forth cheer from such Of his friends
as were able to hear the announce
ment. David b. Hills name as a
member from New York, also brought
q shout Of applause.

and was again given q warm welcome
Of cheers. Raising his hand he made
the request that the convention should
not take his time. Immediately there
was silence.
When declared he had been In the
committee room at 3 O'Clock in the
morning and knew more about the de-
tails OF the case than those who ac-
cused him Of ignorance, he was cheer
ed to the echo.
MIR. Bryan spoke In his most earnest
manner. He concluded with an ex.
preston Of willingness for unity, ad
ding:
But God forbid that it should be
under soiled banner"
! a snappy outburst Of applause fol
lowed, but was not prolonged, the
whole body, delegates and spectators
showing plainly the wearine:s born OF
the intense heat and long session. A
vote was then taken which resulted
in CAT to 299 against the minority re-
port.
1t was exactly 6 o'clock when de-
mand was made by the chairman fol
