lof attack by The parade to the plat
form, and the crowd endeayored to
Idrag them up and carry them in the
parade. Strong hands, however, held
the poles, and determined men We're
gathered close about them. 1t was
evident that they could only be severed
after fight, and the parading enthu.
siasts quietly passed along, only to be
soon succeeded by others. The men
from Georgia and New York, however
held their ground throughout the dem
onstration, and the standards never
moved.
Only six banners were missing from
the states in the parade through the
aisles after the grouping at the stage
had broken into procession. They
were Maryland, Minnesota, New York,
Georgia, New Jersey and Delaware.
Many Bryan banners which had
been brought into the hall were quick
ly caught up by the marching dele-
gates and carried through the aisles,
one of the largest being from the Mon
roe club Of st. Joseph, hIos-s--s--E, ,---.--s-
The band In the balcony lent its
share to the celebration OF the Bryan
followers, and the blare of horns, the
beat of drums and crash Of cymbala
could be heard above the din of the
shouting hundreds on the floor and the
thousands in the galleries.
The cheering swept the vast auditors
um in great noise waves which echoed
4, back and forth in a volume that in
creased and diminished alternately.
After more than an hour Of tumult the
cheering subsided sufficiently to permit
the making of the seeonding speeches,
which on motion were limited to i've
minutes.
Glenn Seconds Nomination.
Arkansas which had passed early IN
the roll, gave way to North C1hsllHAas.,
and Governor Glenn of that state took
the stand to second the nomination OF
Bryan. He was succeeded by Gov
ernor Swanson of Virginia.
Governor johnson of Minnesota was
placed in nomination by w. s. Ham
mond of Minnesota and Judge Gray
of Delaware by Irving Handy OF that
state. Their names were cheered, but
the demonstration evoked was not
comparable to that which greeted the
name Of Mr.. Bryan. The cheers for
Johnson lasted twenty-five minutes.
1t was remarked here several days
ago that there were at least a hum
dred candidates for second place, each
state In the Union seemingly having
at least two or three. Now that the
time of voting is at hand however,
the list has contracted and less than
dozen names are mentioned serious
ly.
That Justice William j. Gaynor Of
New York would be placed in nomina-
tlon for the vice presidency by the
New York delegation was announced
by Charles f. Murphy while the Bry-
an demonstration was at its height
and after 1t had been under way for
more than fifty minutes.
Mr.. Bryan, 1t is declared, preferred
Judge Gray Of Delaware. 1t is under
stood here that Judge Gray personally
telegraphed Mr.. Bryan that IL norni-
mated he would decline, and this de-
termined the Nebraskan to select Jus
tlce Gaynor for the second place
There is no one In authority here to
speak for Justice Gaynor. but Mayor
Brown Of Lincoln said that the Brook
lyn supreme court justice would ac-
cept the nomination. Brown further
more said that there was only one
chance In a hundred that Gaynor
would not be nominated.
Gaynor Approved.
When 1t became generally known
that the Bryan forces had decided to
put Gaynor on the ticket there was
general approval among the leaders.
They believed that radical such as
Gaynor is said to be would be muck
