This is the detailed story Of last nights
session, which wound up at $3.50
this morning with the nomina.
ton OF Bryan.
A small American flag had been
placed on every delegates chair prior
to the beginning of the evening ses-5
sion. This was the unmistakable evil
.dence of the nominating session of the
convention n quickened the interest
of the spectators. who early made q
rush for the galleries, filling them to
soverflowing.
AT Z o'clock, however. there We're
had fingered long at dinner, the slow
dying twilight of the Colorado even
ings proving deceptive as to the hour.
The hall had not tooi-.7 off from
the afternoon session wnen the even
ing crowds began to gather, and the
great heat promised an uncomfortable
ending to the protracted sitting.
Call to Order.

the platform Of this convention" he
declared, "the thought that goes out
from this convention is that honesty
must be enthroned as the dominating
influence of public life. 1t must be
manifest on tho part of the public Of
fcers n On the part of every individ-
ual dealing with the corporations or
with our fellow man"
BY the time Judge Wade had con-
rcluded his address the crowd had in
creased still further. and the door
ways were packed in a manner that
showed mismanagement on the part of
the doorkeepers that was not far from
criminal. All the doors were open and
there was no places in the entire
building that were as impossible as
the exits.
Just as Judge Wade finished his
speech q woman seated in the rear OF
the hall tainted away. 1t was out of
the question to carry her out through
the damned exits and it was found
necessary to lift her bodily over the

Then Champ Clark.
Il am sure the convention will be
glad to concur in the request of Mis-
SOU to hear from old Champ Clark,
of that state, one Of the knigntljest
democrats who ever drew giittering
blade in defense of the party
1t was in these words that Chairman
Clayton introduced the next speaker,
whose appearance on the platform was
a signal for great cheering. Mr..
Clark predicted that the democrats
would sweep the country from sea to
democratic president would be inaug-
urated, backed by a democratic House,
and the people would come into their
rights again."
Mr.. Clark concluded with a tribute
to Mr.. Bryan as the greatest living

Dunn Nomirates Bryan.
Mr.. Dunn, who was to make the
speech for the convention in which the
greatest interest was felt by the dele
gates and the spectators. is scarcely Of
middle age. His clean-cut. determined
looking, clean shaven face is sur
mounted by dark brown hair, which
owing to the emphatic manner in which
he emphasized his speech with his
head, was soon touching the center of
his forehead. He spoke clearly and
with a pleasing manner of delivery.
AS Mr.. Dunn proceeded almost every

the Nebraska candidate. The plaudits,
however, were not long continued and

If it proved to be of equal intensity.
