the occasion for an advertising cam

CLAYTON Nearly Lost Flowers.

Permanent Chairman Henry D. Clay
ton came near not getting any roses
when he took his seat on the speak
er's platform on the day the perman-
ent organization was effected.
1t appears there ale a dozen or fif-
teen former residents of Alabama in
Denver and the day before they had
expended $50 on a great bunch of
American beauty roses - token of
their friendship and regard for the
distinguished southerner.
They took the flowers down to the
auditorium, but Congressman Clay
ton wasn't made permanent chairman
that day. In the wild cheering that
followed the mention of Mr.. Bryan S
name the Alabama man to whom the
roses had been intrusted pulled them
to pieces in his excitement, and the
ribbon, which had cost IS, resembled
dish rag when it came down to earth
But the sons of Alabama were on
hand at the opening of the conven-
ton on the third day with another
bunch of American beauties and at
the proper time gave them to Con
gresham Clayton.

for many long day.
Such was the convention so far as
the nominations were concerned. AS
to the platform, it is a thing made be-

only as it affects the ultimate result of
the campaign, but the real interest,
the thing that draws the crowd, the
thing that makes a convention memoir

about in the years to come, are the

United States army expedition was to
do some exploring in Alaska and he
secured permission to accompany the

Mr. and Mrs. Longworth had as good

ton They attended the sessions and
were deeply interested. All efforts

Chicago convention was futile. They
would not talk politics.

There were loud cheers when Mar
tin w Littleton. in his brief speech
before the convention, referred to the
thrift and enterprise of Denver in its
treatment of delegates. Denverites
cheered the utterance as a compli-
ment, but others cheered it as a melan-
choly tribute to the emptiness of their
pocketbooks.
Denver paid 100000 to get the con-
vention, and while the municipality of
Denver was generous to the point of
prodigality, the subscribers to the
10000 did not lose sight Of the fact
that they were entitled to rich re-
turn on the investment, and they
got it.
Some of the prices would strain the
financial backbone of Pittsburg mil
lionaire. A man with a good husky
appetite found that every day tore

of the hotels and large restaurants

They managed to arrange 1t every
time SO that a quarter was the small
est coin in the change, and it naturally
went as tip.

colonel purposely passed up Col ID. A.

How Campau Rested His LEGS.

Denvers altitude, and likewise its
attitude" were hard on the dele
gates legs. Seats in the hotel Hobbies
were at a premium, and there were
usually long waiting lists ON every
seat, each prospective occupant keep
ing an eagle eye on the corners with
a view to inserting his legs into them
as soon as the occupant moved an
inch. ID. J. Campau of Michigan hit
upon a scheme that brought him a
seat every time he tried it. He would
walk up to an onlooker, who would
be fattered by the attention, and
inquire: who is that up there in the
balcony" The party addressed gener-
ally jumped to his feet, stepped out
yard or so. and squared off for a look,
when Campau would comro3edly drop
into the chair, having lost all interest
in his inquiry. The bystanders laughed
so loudly at the trick that the loser
had to give up gracefully.

The "kanqaroo Court"

The Kangaroo court" was one of
the features of the convention. 1t is
an organization established by "Alfal-
ia Bill Murray of Oklahoma and held
forth in the lobby of the Brown Pal
ace hotel, with the backs of the seats
in the rotunda for the bench OF the
honorable court. Everybody had to
subscribe to Bryan and Bryan Democ-
racy. The prisoners were rushed to
the foot of the bench and were then in
terrogated by the court as to their
fitness to be a delegate in the conven-
ton. Usually five judges shouted at
the prisoner at one and the same time.

The hundreds of women who attend

the effect of the prolonged strain and
excitement.
All night hundreds of women

Col. J. Ham. Dodged Speech Calls.

Col. James Hamilton Lewis of Chi
