mitted a minority report from the COMMITTEES
credentials. by vote of CAT TO 299. Bryan
got the noise. but he did not get the votes.
For more than quarter of an hour follow
ing Mr.. Bryans appearance in the hall this af-
ternoon. the Coliseum rang with thunderous ap-
pIause for him. 1t was not counterfeit applause.
The galleries certainly were with him. Mr..
Bryan made a terrific fight in behalf OF the
anti Hopkins Democrats OF Illinois. and asked
the convention 70 repudiase the action of It's Gre
dentiaIs committee. The convention sustained
its committee.
The vote is regarded as sure sign that Par
ker will be nominated tomorrow on the first
ballot. Kentucky. Missouri and South Carolina
voted with Bryan to-day. but all three States
are controlled by the conservatives II looks
as though Hearst would have less than go
votes, and Parker would have more than enough
10 nominate on the first ballot.
Mr. Bryan denounced the Hopkins-Cable men
in the most violent terms, likening them TO train
robbers. He told the convention that if it sus-
tanned the Hopkins-Cable faction it would trans
fer the guilt from the shoulders of the culprits
to the Democratic party. He practically told
the Hearst men in Illinois that they would be
justified in boiling the ticket. His most dra-
matte utterance was when he attacked Hopkins
and Gable by saying:
These two men, who seek your support here
to-day, were the men who kept the path hot be-
tween the Republican headquarters and their
own headquarters in 1896 when the loyal Demo-
Gratis of Illinois were marching by the hundred
thousand. 1 willing that the men who left US
shall come back and be Democrats again. l am
willing that they shall come back and snare
with us the responsibility of government, but
God forbid that loyal Democrats shall be made
to march beneath the soiled banners OF Hopkins
and Cable
The applause which greeted this sally was
terrific.
PERSONAL TRIBUTE TO BRYAN.
The War of the Roses was trifling family
difference compared to the bitter feeling which
divides the Democratic factions as manifested
in the Coliseum to-day. The exhibition began,
ostensibly as a personal tribute to Bryan. He
had been coming and going TO and from the
convention and meandering around the hotels
without evoking any particular demonstration
until this afternoon. Gradually, however. the
whole onus of fghting the remorseless and re-
lentless Hill machine had been thrown on him,
and he fought the fight with all the dash of a
Prince of Navarro. The brutaIly expressed in
tentions OF the leaders to ride him down and end
his politica! career helped to inflame popular
sentiment and everything ready for the
match to be touched.
The ignition took place a few minutes after
the convention met for the afternoon session,
when Bryan came down the middle aisle. He
had just reached the seats of the Nebraskans
when he was recognized. Some people nearby
raised a lusty cheer. The applause had ia
miliar sound; it like 1896 and 1900 over
aagin The wave OF cheering deepened into q
roar.

went into the air. men and women stood on
chairs and cheered. A Nebraska delegate raised
the Nebraska standard. 1t was signal for the
gathering OF the clans. Hawaii Iowa. North Da-
