GREAT OVATION TO BRYAN

 today the constant boom of fash-light explosions from the photographers. added to the pandemonium.
 The standard bearers finally invaded the galleries Maine and Alabama leading the climb to the second tier. The band kept up continual How of music. which finally started all the delegates singing.
 The band worked without cessation. and whenever it struck up anything which the chorus crowds was able to follow. they yelled the words of the afr with wild enthusiasm. Delegates danced up and down in the aisles to the music of "A Hot Time" and shouted the chorus of Marching Through Geor- gia." While the latter air was ringing through the hall. a determined assault was made by the frenzied Bryan shout CTS upon the Georgia standard, which, up to this. time. had been kept firmly rooted in its place. The delegation showed in quick fashion that 1t was as dangerous to March Through Geor- gia" as ever 1t had been in the days of the war. They rallied around their little yellow fiagpole bearing 6 name of their State on white against back gtound of blue. and stuck staunehly to their guardianship. It was the only Southern standard that remained rooted where 1t was planted.
 The Colorado standard was carried again to the stage after the demonstra- ton had been in progress for three quarters of an hour. This time 1t was c. c. Bradford of Denver, one of the States delegates, and her appearance called out renewed cheering. Mrs. Bradford, who ss a delegate -at-iarge, was intended to be a parallel to the famous woman in white" who played such important part in stampeding for Bryan the galleries during the Chicago convention of 1896. She was joined by another woman. also in white. who struggled desperately to hold up the heavy banner of California beside the speakers desk. Her strength, however, was not equal to the task and she was compelled to surrender 1t to stronger hands.

 The COW boy band at last left It's place in the gallery and joined the pa- rade through the aisIes, playing Marching Through Georgia" The man with the big brass horn had trou- bles that were equal to those of the bass drum in setting through the crowd.
 Pennsylvaniaas standard was the first returned to its place, but the example apparently had little effect upon the
 
 tinued for fifty minutes, Naine Joined in the parade which was constantly swinging up and down the aisles. Ken lucky and Pennsylvania however, had returned to their places and the dem- onstration seemed for the time to be dying down. The band again woke the echoes with "A Hot Time and the occasion of cheers was again in flood tide. Mentramp1ed through the afsIes, their collars torn wide open, their neckties torn to shreds. or entirely gone, their faces streaming with pres piration, and Gwaving hats and hand kerehiefs as high as their weary arms would allow, yelling at the same time, with all the power of their torn and tired throats.
 Senator Gore sat undisturbed. wait. ing for the tumolt to end before re- suming the speech that had start cd the demonstration. He chatted with Chairman Bell who stood guard against the rush of the thoughtiess. A rally ling position for the band was estab- Wished on the stage at last and the Ncattered musicians hurried there to pin in "The Red, White and Blue" he patriotic selection made way for stll another edition of "A Hot Time" wien the cowboy musicians had as. eenbled in full strength.
 During all this time. while one of the greatest outburst of political enthusi- asm ever witnessed in any political @ath%ing was beginning, swelling, and dying down. the blind man who started 1t was standing against the railing or theNspeaker's stand. seeing nothing his voice had created. He was for the tiTne forgotten but he rested easi- ly on hls tottering perch, secure in the knowledge that heed would be given when quiet was once more re- stored.
 At s:sO p'ciock. after the demonsta- ton had Deem in progress for one hour and seventeen minutes, Chairman Bell made his first effort to stop the tum- ut. pounding with some vigor on the desk with q big gavel Cries Of "sit down" and some misses were heard but there was distinct falling of in the volume of the sound and some progress towards restored order was made after five minutes ot continued pounding.
 2:2T-one hour and twenty-seven minutes after Gore had mentioned the name of Bryan, majority of the State standards were In thei proper places and the demonstration was practically ended.
 At s:SO p. m. Senator Gore resumed his speech.
 My countrymen," he said, "to great CT and older states ot this great repub. lie, Oklahoma only has to say 'go thou and do lIkewise.'"
 Cheers and applause greeted Senator Gore and he made his way from the platform.
 The chair again recognized Mir. James of Kentucky, who again moved that a recess until s D. m, be taken. MT. Bell put the motion and without waiting for a negative vote, declared 1t carried and the session was ended.
 MT. Bryan Grateful.
 Fairview, Lincoln. Neb.. July B. 'The Democrats have been very good to mo and can find no words to ex- press my deep appreciation of the con ndenee and good will which the dem- onstration indicates"
 It was with these words that Will liam Jennings Bryan this afternoon. speaking to a number of newspaper men, acknowledged the remarkable demonstration given him by delegates to the Democratic National Conven- ton.
 That MT. Bryan was deeply affected by the outburst was apparent in the gravity with which he uttered the sen- timent quoted. The delirious homage of one hour and twenty-six minutes was pictured in crisp telegrams re- ceived at Fairview and the thrill of 1t showed in flashes in the eyes of the man to whom 1t was paid.
 When the demonstration began. MT. Bryan. a dozen newspaper men. Robert F: Rose. BrS ans secretary, and the telegrapher on the bulletin wire, occu- pied the sun room. as the glass enclosed porch is called. Five minutesg ten minutes pah@ed with fha wire oIickinar
