His address was along the line &

be taken to restrict it.
The speaker explained that sub

Denver, Colo, July 9.-Noon.-John
Temple Graves, in his telegram to the
New York American says that the
Bryan demonstrations which have thus
far marked the convention were simply
ovations to a series of successful in
cidents skillfully planned by the
Bryan men; that they were triumphs
of party mechanism and not express
sions of the will of the people. He
says that the galleries have remained
silent and that the nomination oi
Bryan is by no means assured.

that they should choose uninstructed
