OF the committee on rules and orders
read the report of his committee,
which was brief.
After this there were repeated in
terruptions, both among the lelcqates
and people in the gallery an. the FIRST
outburst of applause came for the dit.
ferent prominent men. There we're
cheers for Bryan, for Parker
Cleveland, German and others. This
disorder continued for quite awhile

This is considered the first test Of
the convention, and showed that the
