Bryan's Best Chance.

London, July 10.-London papers
today all comment upon the nomina-
ton of Bryan. Several denounce the
nominee in scathing terms, referring
to him as a demagogue and stating
his election will be a backward step.
They say his chance of election Is
slim, but admit the chance is now
better than his former ones and bet
ter than Parker's last time.
Some put him in the same class
with Roosevelt.

Pandemonium reigned for an hour
and fifteen minutes.
The delegates threw their hats and
coats in the air and acted like mad
men. The march OF the standards
soon set in, each delegation stealing
the banners from the others and
marching around the hall. one en-
thusast clambered to the rostrum
with a beautiful girl dressed in pink
and white clinging to his neck. She
waved a flag for Is minutes, and the
applause continued solid hour
without an interruption. Clayton
several times attempted to check it,
but failed. Every time he brought
his gavel down the noise grew louder.
Finally he directed the police to clear
the aisles and then the cheering died
down.
Former United States Senator
Gearin of oregon, got the floor and
seconded Bryans nomination. Colo
RADIO was next with former Governor
Alva Adams .seconding. When Min
nesota was reached w. S. Hammond
placed Johnson I'm nomination. John
son was cheered for 10 minutes, when
Delaware called Congressman L. Irv-
ing Handy, who nominated Judge
Gray.
He had Just started when the COM
mittee on resolutions reported, head

Handy continued and Haskell finally
read the platform, declaring the COM
mittee, after two days struggle, had
succeeded in reconciling all factions
and drafting a document upon which
every member is agreed.
And-Mormon Plank Defeated.
The most interesting incident OF the
closing hours of the session was the
refusal of the resolutions committee
to put into the platform the declara-
tion in condemnation of polygamy Of
fered by Senator Fred Dubois of Ida
no. In its support Dubois made an
speech.
The plank was defeated by a vote
of 20 nays to Is ayes. Dubois attrib-
utes its defeat to Bryan's influence.
Bryan's brother heard during the
day that Dubois was making asser-
tions about the Nebraskans influ-
ence and telegraphed Bryan. who, sent
back word that he was not influenc-
ing the committee in the matter.
This was the only fight that was
close, though there was a lively de-
bate over the tariff plank, which was
settled by a phone message to Bryan.
A World Man.
After the platform was adopted,
Augustus Thomas, the playwright,
made an eloquent address which was
lpplauded. AW
While the delegates were seconding
Bryan's nomination Ollie James in
erjected a thrill by shouting: "He
loes not belong to Nebraska, he does
lot belong to America. He belongs
o humanity and the world-God bless
him."
This set the convention wild and

Two cases of unusual importance
were up for consideration in the cir
cult court yesterday afternoon and all
most the entire afternoon was taken
UP with arguments upon demurrers.
One of the cases Is the criminal ac-
ton brought against NJ. ]. Buckley
and other officials of the o. r. & N.
company for alleged violation Of the
14-hour law while the other case was
that of Martin ct al, versus the O. r.
& N. company, an action which in
wolves the reciprocal demurrage pro-
vision of the present Oregon railroad
law.
At the conclusion of the arguments
Judge Bean took the cases under ad-
visement and he will not likely pass
upon either one until fall.
Say State Law Was Void.
In the case against the railroad Of
ficals the contention of the defense
was that Oregon's 14-hour law was
void at the time the violation occur
red because congress had already
passed a law upon the subject.
The state law was passed in Feb
ruary, 1907, and in March Of that
year the national law was passed.
However, the federal law did not go
into effect for a year and during that
time the alleged offence occurred.
In arguing the case yesterday, At
torney Spencer, for the railroad COM
pany. held that even IL the federal
law had not yet gone into force the
state law was void anyway because
the national congress had passed leg
islatlon on the subject.
In reply District Attorney Phelps
contended that the state law was ef-
fective until the federal law went in
to force. In support of this stand he
urged that IL such were not the case
congress could nullify state legislation
at any time by passing laws upon the
same subject, with provisions that the
national laws would not go into effect
for one, five or more years.
The Demurrage Case.
The Martin demurrage case was
brought Dy FTeeWater-Mllton people
to collect s6S16.5O damages because
the railroad company failed to pro-
vide refrigerator cars for fruit ship
ments at the time wanted, Under the
provisions of the present oregon rail-
road law shippers are given the right
to collect demurrage from common
carriers.
The demurrage case was also argu-
ed by Attorney Spencer and he held,
in support of his demurrer, that the
demurrage feature of the oregon law
conflicts with the Hepburn law, pass
ed by congress In June. 1906.
The defendants in the case were
by Attorney Charles NJ.
Kahn of Boise.

Denver, July 10.-Representatives
OF Minnesota and Delaware were on
the platform and made arrangements
to get quick recognition. Before any
announcement OF vote could be made
w. S. Hammond OF Minnesota. who
made the speech nominating Johnson,
got recognition and moved that Bry-
ans nomination be made by acclama-
ton. This was received with vocif
erous cheers.
The applause had not time to die
out before p. p. Ford of Delaware,
stepped forward and seconded the
motion on behalf OF the Gray forces.
No sooner had he retired than the
chairman recognized II. X. Ellersykof

No one who spent the night in the
hall is likely to forget the events
When the gavel fell at 7:45 last night
the hall was packed. Several women
tainted and required medical atten-
tion
Platform Causes Delay.
Clayton first recognized ollie James
inquiring OF the resolutions COM
mittee II they were ready to report.
Receiving a negative answer, he ap-
pointed committee to wait on it.
Several democrats delivered brief
addresses until $40, and then James
announced that the resolutions COM
mittee would be unable to report un-
til midnight.
Then James moved that the rules
he suspended in order that the nom-
mating speeches be made. This was
ordered with the proviso that the
vote on the presidency should not be
taken before the platform was adopt
ed and this was ordered.
Then I. ]. Dunn, city attorney of
Omaha, was recognized to place Bry-
ans name in nomination. He, had an
excellent voice, and while his speech |
was punctuated with volleys of ap-
plause, 1t was not until the preoration
was reached that there was a unison
of cheering,
When Dunn reached his climax
and mentioned Bryans name the first
time, there was a mighty roar. At
this signal some on released a big oil |
painting of Bryan, dropping 1t over
the speakers table.
