with heat, exhaustion and dead air
as oon as the speaker got ready to
give the signal.
His concluding passage, delivered
at sos o'clock, was a fervid tribute
to the "commoner" as the intrepid
lead-r who had borne aloft the bat
tie; carried the flag of Democracy
through the campaigns Of 1896 and
1900, with the devotion and faith of
the crusaders of old days-"Amer-
ica's great commoner, Nebraska's
gifted son, William J. Bryan"
This vas the signal for a long-con-
tinued uproar, rivalling in intensity
and duration the demonstration of
Wednesday,, which lasted one hour
and twenty-six minutes. Again, the
whole assemblage was dashed into a
fury of excitement. The delegates
seized the States standards and gath
cred them On the presiding officers
platform, while the galleries broke
into tumultuous clamor. At times it
assumed such proportions of madness
as the excited throngs rushed through
the aisles toward the platform that
there was serious danger of panic.
Men and women were bowled over in
the mad onrush of f~iag-bearing en-
thusiasts. One woman tainted, and
was carried from the hall.

L. Irving Handy, of Delaware, then
made an eloquent speech, concluding
by placing denomination Judge George
Gray, of Delaware. The Gray nomin-
alton also received it's full share of
enthusiasm, although the nominating
speech of L.. Irving Handy, of Della
ware, was frequently interrupted by
the impatient crowd, and finally by
the arrival of the Committee on Reso-
lutions bearing the completed plat
form.
1t was after midnight when the
nominating speeches were Temperate
ly suspended to receive the report of
the committee. Governor Haskell, of
Oklahoma, chairman of the commit
tee, made the report, announcing at
the outset that it was presented as
the unanimous view of the committee,
the entire membership of which
ranged themselves on the platform
flanking Governor Haskell as an evil
dence of their united attitude.
The e~nunciation of party principles
was received with close attention and
with frequent demonstrations of as
sent. The provision concerning in
functions was punctuated by applause
and at it's conclusion a ringing cheer
went up from delegates and specta-
tors. The provisions concerning
trusts, railway regulation, income tax
and various other provisions awak-
ened lively appreciation. The plat
form was adopted by a unanimous
vote.
John E. Lamb, of Indiana, reported
from the Committee on Resolutions a
recommendation that the Tooth ami
versary of the birth of Abraham Lin
coin be appropriately observed
throughout the country. After the
ayes had chorused their approval, Per-
manent Chairman Clayton said that
as a son of a Confederate soldier and
| STAKEHOLDER, he declined to put the
negative, and declared the vote unan-
imous.
The speeches %seconding the nomin-
alton of candidates were then re-
sumed, with a limit of five minutes
for each speech. The seconding
speeches for Bryan included those of
| Governor Glenn, of North Carolina;
| Governor Swanson, of Virginia; Rep
resentative Helm, of Alabama; Au-
| gustus Thomas, the playwright, of
Missouri" Jerry B. Sullivan, of
Iowa; o. w. Powers and Senator Gea-
rim, of Oregon; John j. Lynch, of
Ohio; James A. Reed, Mayor of Kan
sas City; Ben F. Looney, of Texas;
Elsa A. Williams, of Illinois, and Oh
lie James, of Kentucky.
The seconding speech for Governor
Johnson was made by Attorney-Gen-
eral Straus, of Maryland; that for
Judge Gray by P. j. O'Boyle, of Penn
~sylvania. Most of these speeches had
been scheduled in advance, but owing
to the widespread Bryan sentiment
and the desire of the various States to
record their preference for him many
impromptu speeches were made and
nearly every State voiced it's approval
The nominating and seconding
speeches having been concluded, the
balloting began at 3 a. m.
Thomas F. Smith, secretary of
Tammany Hall, was selected as the
clerk to read the roll of the States.

When the insurance agent called
for the weekly premium the old lady
informed him that she was going to
remove to a place ten miles away,
and she would be glad if he could ar
range for the removal van to call for
her belongings. Being an agent for
other things besides insurance, he
took particulars, and finished up by
asking how much she expected to pay.

his surprise, and she pointed tS a

he galleries. DELEGATES were drop-

the galleries. Delegates were drop
ping into their seats exhausted, and
white-faced women, some of them
weeping from excitement, were being
helped to doors and windows for a
breath of fresh air, of which there
was great need, for the vast hall was
like a furnace.
At 1906, when the demonstration
had been under way an even hour;
it was still resounding and vigorous.
Chairman Clayton pounded his garel
on the table in monotonous repetition.
The crowd soon found a way to null
lily his efforts. Every time he hit the
table thousands shouted, Bryan! ("
and he found himself playing the
part of a bass drummer in a band,
adding to the noise.
In an effort to stop the demonstra-
ton all the lights in the hall were
turned out except two big clusters in
the ceiling over the platform. This
had the desired effect. The band
played I'm Afraid to Come Home in
the Dark" and the tired spectators
fell into their seats.
At 1917 the demonstration was
practically over. 1t had lasted one
hour and eleven minutes, within
fifteen minutes of the record estab-
lished Wednesday.

Queer Rules of Royal Etiquette.

(ucCT ItuicS VI IoydI EtiQucttcs
A number of years ago it was per-
fectly permissible, and, in fact, a mat
ter of strict etiquette, for a visitor
who should obtain an audience with
the Sultan of Turkey to bow and
kiss the hand of that Oriental poten-
tate. Anarchists, however, took ad-
vantage of the privilege, and on
memorable occasion a treacherous
emissary drove a dagger into the
heart of his sovereign, and from that
time forth the privilege has been dis
allowed.
When the Emperor or Empress Of
China appears in public, no other
person is allowed to occupy a higher
place than they do. Therefore, on
such occasions the shutters of all
buildings are drawn, and the upper
parts of the houses past which the
royal procession is expected to nov
are deserted, the inhabitants swarm
ing to the ground floors in order to
show due Difference to their rulers.
When the youthful King of Spain
was twelve years of age he n day
had the MISFORTUNE to slip and fall
down a flight Of the palace steps. The
fall would very probably have been
attended with fatal results had 1t
not been for a servant who extended
a kindly hand and saved his young
master, by breaking the fall. But, by
a stringent rule of Spanish etiquette,
no servant may dare touch the sacred
person of the King, and for this very
grave" offence the servant was at
once dismissed from his position.
BY a remarkable law of royal ETH
quette, which has existed for a num-
Der of years past at the Court of Siam,
no person is permitted to sleep in an
apartment situated above that occu-
pied by the King. A deliberate
breach of this rule has on more than
one occasion been punished by death.
Recently, when the King of Siam
paid a visit to Paris, a number of
bedrooms were reserved, directly
above that in which the King was to
have slept, for the dusky followers
of the royal visitor. The blunder
caused great CONSERVATION among
the fearful courtiers, until the mat
ter was explained to the management
and duly rectified.

audience who greeted each utterance
of tribute to the Nebraska leader with
