BRYAN'S CONDITION.
All That Is Needed Is Quiet and
Rest.

st. Louis, July 1o.-WiIliam J. Bryan
left the Jefferson Hotel, today, and
went to the residence of his cousin
DR.. Jennings, in this city. His physi-
cal condition was much improved
since yesterday and he expects to
leave for his home in Lincoln, tomor-
row night.
When Mr.. Bryan left his bed, last
night, to go to the convention hall
his temperature was above 100 and he
complained of much soreness of the
lungs. He was examined after the
close of the convention by DR.. Os-
borne, who decided that there was
nothing alarming in his condition and
that quiet and rest would quickly re-
store him to his usual good health.
His appearance at the convention hall
was in opposition to the commands OF
his physician and contrary to the
wishes of his friends. He left his bed
at time when his attendants were alb
sent from the room. and in doing so
created considerable alarm for his
safety.

second from the District of Columbia
delegation.
The first rumble of the approaching
storm was heard at just o'clock.
Senator South of Arkansas, broke in
on the roll call with a motion, that in
view of the rumors that were disturb
ing the convention, a recess be taken
until 8 o'clock. His motion did not pre-
vail.
The convention was in such an up
roar because of the Parker telegram
rumors that the latter part of the roll
call for the presentation of candidates
for Vice President was inaudible.
Chairman Clark directed that the roll
be called for the announcement of the
votes Senator CulbersOn of Texas, re-
ceivei recognition and, addressing the
Chair. said:
For reasons which are obvious to all
the delegates here, it seems to me that
we ought not to proceed at this time to
nominate a candidate for Vice Presi-
dent, and l therefore move that the
convention"
Here cries of Why" "Why?" inter-
rupted Senator CulbersOn.
II think that the delegates under
stand what 1 mean," he proceeded.
Chairman Clark interjccted: PRO
ceed."
And l repeat" concluded Senator
Culberson, that in the present eXigen-
cies which confront the convention 1t
ought not to proceed to the nomination
OF Vice President"
Right" right" greeted the states
man. we want to know before cam
didate for the Vice Presidency is nomi-
mated who is the candidate for Presi-
dent" (Applause and cries of approval
again interrupted the senator)
When he continued he made motion
for a recess until $50.
The din and excitement increased
and he was invited both to keep on
and to "sit down."
His motion was put by the chair
man. The vote was, in the opinion of
most people, lost, but Chairman clark
loudly banged his desk, declared 1t car
ried and quickly left the platform be-
fore the convention recovered from its
amaZement.
The confusion, before Culberson rose.
was intensified greatly when he sat
down after intimating that Judge
Parker might possibly vacate the head
or the ticket.
As soon as the recess was announced
the delegates, instead of leaving the
hall. rushed into conference.
Tn an instant there were fully =,
groups in the hall, in the center OF
which were two or three violently ex-
yited and gesticulating men, who dls-
cussed the Parker telegram openly.
The police again and again passed
along the aisle, endeavoring TO ciear
them. but the delegates refused 10
move and the excitement grew rather
than abated.
A dense throng through which it was
impossible to pass. gathered in front
NJ the chairman's desk and strove des-
perately to learn the exact import oil
tho message. Their efforts were UNI
awaiting. however.
The leaders disappeared and the SEES
sion closed with an atmosphere of tense
expe2tancy as to what would occur
when they reconvened at $50.
At a.1G o'clock Chairman clark
pounded vigorously with his gavel and
asked that the delegates be seated ana
the aisles cleared.
He did not formally call the conven-
ton to order, but as soon as some de-
gree of quiet had been restored, Gov.
vardaman of Mississippi. and without

financial question, had become general.
A crowd of delegates hurriedly gathered
around Sheehan Of New York, and Till
man OF South Carolina.
Little conferences began to gather
and the orators did not receive much
attention except from the galleries and
the small fry, who did not know that a
probable sensation was ripening all
about them.
Delaware gave her place in the call
to West Virginia and the Chair recog-
nized John d. Anderson of that state,
who placed in nomination Henry q.
Davis of West Virginia. A vigorous
round of applause came from the dele
gates when Mr.. Davis name was men-
toned, but little from the galleries.
Senator Dubois of Idaho, was the next
speaker and he rose to second the NOM
ination of George Turner of Washing
ton.
David Overmeyer of Kansas. placed
Former Senator William A. Harris OF
that state in nomination in BRIEF
speech from the floor.
AS the mexciting routine of the NOM
mating and seccnding speeches pro-
ceeded, the storm that seemed inevita-
BILE was gathering.
Leaders hurried to and fro with anX-
ious faces and the news from Esopus
spread rapidly.
The floor filled with delegates and in
the Parker states the men sat with
heads close together in whispered con-
situations.
cir RI ho
initiated that the session was going to
be dramatic in the extreme, but the
average delegate sweated and smiled
and listened to the flow of favOrite
son oratory, all unconscious of the
great things that were moving in the
party's heart.
The roll call of states proceeded until
MARYLAND was reached without a re-
Spouse.
For Maryland, John Prentice Poe took
the platform and seconded the nominal
tor of Davis of West Virginia. APP
plause plnctured his speech.
Senator William E. Clark of Montana,
was the next speaker. He first paid
a high tribute to the West and then
seconded the Turner nomination. He
was listened to with marked attention.
Nebraska's response was a statement
that's he waited with interest the choice
of New York. New York requested to
be passed when called on the roll.
"Ohio has no candidate" was an
nounced when the Buckeye state was
reached.
Senator f. w. Carmack Of Tennessee,
was placed in nomination by Delegate
Hersey of that state. Mr.. Hersey spoke
from his chair and his speech was very
brief.
The name of Senator Carmack was
received with applause.
II. G. Davis nomination received a
second from the District of Columbia
delegation.

His face was chalk white as he
walked rapidly uo the side aisle, his
lips were compressed to a thin line and
his brows down straight. He nervously
famed himself and paid no attention to
tho hands that were held out to him as
he passed.

a short-lived burst of applause, but IL
