The hall broke into a wild uproar, a
dozen delegates again badly strug
Cling to the main aisle in an attempt
to reach Mr.. Shepard. Canes and
fists were shaken at him furiously
while bowls Of execration went I'D from
all sides of the hall.
Quiet was long time coming, but
when 1t finally arrived Chairman
Walsh ruled that inasmuch as Mr..
Shepard had attempted to nominate a
man who was not a member Of the
Independence party, he was out of or
der.
A frantic yell of approval went up
from the convention. Shepard instant
ly started to leave the platform and
two sergeants-at-a realizing what
might happen to Shepard stepped close
to his side as he started down the
aisle. Instantly a crowd of delegates,
all Of them in an ugly mood, closed in
and for a minute or two Shepard was
in actual danger. The sergeants-at-
arms, almost carried him and fought
their way, foot by foot, along the pas
sageway. A delegate. from New York
city struck viciously at Shepard's
head with cane and If the blow had
not been intercepted, might have SER
iously injured him.
Put Out of Hall.
Escorted by the sergeants-a arms,
Shepard was taken to the door and
told to leave the hall. He lost no time
in obeying the Injunction.
During the confusion, Chairman
Walsh strove desperately for order. but
without avail. When Shepard started
down the aisle, he called anxiously.
Somebody protect that man."
He repeatedly begged the delegates
to keep quiet and remember that they
were gentlemen. The plea, however.
fell on deaf ears until Shepard had left
the hall. ,

he explained it, of putting my state

JOHNSON
Of Cleveland Said to be
Bryan's Choice For
Chairman
MAYOR WOULD ACCEPT

Lincoln, June 29.-Tom L. Johnson,
mayor of Cleveland, is William j. Bry-
ans choice for chairman of the Dem
ant has not committed himself on
the subject, but he has shaken his
head when the names of others were
mentioned for the place. The remain
der OF the slate favored by MIR. Bry-
an for the Denver convention is as
follows:
For permanent chairman, Henry D.
Clayton, of Alabama; for chairman of
the resolutions committee of the con-
Vention, Governor Haskell, of Okla
homa, Or Judson Harmon, OF Ohio;
for vice president, Judge George Gray,
of Delaware, or Governor Johnson. of
Minnesota.
There is a fine line of politics in
the possible choice Of Mayor Johnson
for chairman of the national commit
tee. Judson Harmon, of Cincinnati,
attorney general in the cabinet Of
Grover Cleveland, and Mayor John
son have been bitter rivals in Ohio
since 1896. Harmon is now the candi-
date for governor of Ohio on the
Democratic ticket and johnson has
put him on a radical platform. Mr..
Bryan says Harmon will live up to
the platform II elected. On the other
hand, Harvey CARRIER, of Ohio, who
was chairman of the state committee
utb oh oil fA1 he lag
ocratic governor Of the state, wants to
be national committeeman from Ohio
job johnson now holds. Incidental
ly Mr. Bryan has his heart set on
stealing Ohio from Taft this fall.
There is strong intimation held
out here that Mr.. Bryan may want
to settle the whole Ohio row by max
ing Johnson chairman Of his national
committee. johnson is a Bryan man
and Mr.. Bryan, after a trip through
the south with Harmon last winter,
has formed real liking for him. He
would like to bring Harmon and John
son together and must do so if he
hopes to carry Ohio this fall 1t
would be possible for him to help both
Harmon and himself by putting John
son in the chairmanship and at the
same time clear the way for a har-
monious agreement on CARRIER to sue
Ceed Johnson.
Mayor johnson does not want the
responsibility of the job in addition
to his present troubles, but some sf
his closest friends have let it be
known. that he will take the job if it
is forced upon him. There have been
others mentioned for the place. but
none is now so prominent as Mayor
Johnson.

J. D. BARRY
Named by Democratic
Candidates as Chair
man of Campaign
Committee
ARMONIOUS MEETING

The Democratic candidates on the
congressional, senatorial and county
tickets held a meeting last night in
the Office of Attorney Charles Krich-
baum, at which all were present with
but two exceptions. and chose Off
GERS for the campaign committee and
also decided on some of the members
of that body. AS the personnel of the
committee is not yet complete the
names of those already chosen were
not given out last night. The Off
GERS decided on are Chairman, James
D. Barry; secretary, John Harmony;
treasurer w. d. Caldwell.
The meeting was marked for the
harmony that prevailed and the ac-
tion taken in choosing officers for the
campaign committee was unanimous
in each case. no contests developing.
The situation was thoroughly can
vassed before they were suggested and
named and ii was the concensus Of
opinion that the most available men
had been chosen in each instance.
The candidates without exception
took a roseate view of the situation
and believe that with the proper eff
fort success will be with the ticket
this fall. In a general way the line
of work to be done during the cam
paign was discussed and some plans
were laid but no definite action was
taken in this regard and will not be,
in all probability, until the committee
is named and another meeting is held.
Judging from the spirit and feeling
shown last night, however, the cam
paign TO be made by the Democrats
in the county and in the congressional
and senatorial districts will be the
most aggressive since that of 1896. The
candidates in their discussion pointed
to the dissatisfaction that seems TO
exist in the ranks of the Republican
party and believe 1t can be made
productive Democratic capital this
fall with the proper effort. 1t was
also pointed out that the Democrats
were more closely united at the pres
ent time than for several years and
in better shape to make whirlwind
campaign.
