GUFFEY LOST IN
THE CONVENTION

DENVER, Col. July 9.-Guffey made
his fight last night on the floor Of the
convention against Bryan's steam
roller-and lost. Bryan's convention
that's the best name for it--gave the
Nebraskan els votes to down Guffey,
while Guffey got SS7 to hold on.
This wound up the proceedings of
one of the most sensational days in
the history of Democratic conventions.
and emphasized again the tremendous
influence that Bryan has among the
delegates from nearly every State in
the Union.
Distinctly a majority of the leaders
in the convention were against unseat-
ing Guffey's men. but Bryan COM
manded that it should be done, as it
was the only way in which to throw
Guffey out Of the national committee,
and so 1t was done in violation Of all
precedent.
Some profess to see in the fact that
Guffey ate into Bryan's two-thirds vote
an indication that the anti-Bryan ele-
ment which backed Guffey can pre-
vent Bryan's nomination on the first
ballot. but the old stagers are inclined
to think the view an utterly hopeless
one.

GREAT CHEERING
FOR COL. BRYAN
Delaware Did No! JOin---ThiS
State Also Stood by
GufIey

DENVER, July 9-The Democratic
convention went wild over Bryan yes
terday. In a demonstration lasting for
one hour and q minutes. 40 minutes
longer than the Roosevelt one at Chi
cago, the scenes of the 90 stampede
were repeated.
It left the convention in a frame OF
mind to accept the report Of the cre-
dentials committee. the only business
scheduled for to-night's session. This
report reads Col. James NJ. Guffey. Of
Pennsylvania. out of the convention.
1t was a long hard battle before the
committee before the Grffey delegates
were ousted by a vote Of 30 to A. the
States standing with Guffey being New
York. New Jersey, Tennessee, Texas,
Virginia. West Virginia, Delaware,
Illinois, Ohio, Minnesota, Georgia,
Louisiana, Kentucky und MARYLAND.
It was at one time decided that a
minority report shoul1 oe prepared on
the Pennsylvania cases. and this tash
was left to Attorney General Strauss.
Of Maryland
All cheered in unison for about FIVE
minutes, with Increasing volume as en-
thusiasm warmed to the occasion, the
galleries following. not leading in the
applause. Suddenly a Bryan en-.
thusiast in the Massachusetts delega.
ton tore the Massachusetts standard
from its fastenings and rushed toward
theplat form. This acted as a signal
for all standards to be seized. and in a
few seconds every standard except
those Of New York. New Jersey. Con.
necticut. Delaware, Minnesota. Georgia
and Ma-vland had been tern from their
places and were being carried through
the aisles amid the widest cheering
that human lungs are capable Of.
Presently the standard of Maryland
was raised on high by ]. Frank Smith,
and the Maryland delegation joired in
the marching throng Of delegations
New York. Delaware Connecticut
New Jersey. Minnesota and Georgia
alone held out to the last. their stard-
ards remaining in place throughout the
demonstration. Explanation was made
afterward that New Yark's refusal to
allow its banner TO follow the rest was
not a manifestation of hostility. but
was the reserve due TO the fact that
a decision as to the course Of the dele.
cation had not vet been decided in
