pies enuncated by the convention at Denver or
whether the candidates named were our cahoi-

Here Colonel Bell was interrupted by cheers ana
applause lasting about two minutes. He continued;
Everywhere his name is household word, and
while some may disagree with him In some things,
may with confidence challenge any one to pro-
duce q single charge against his character. lie is
easily the leading public man in America.
When the colonel ceased speaking he looked ex-
pectantly toward Senator McCarren and the latter
broke loose The committeeman stood up in their
places. waved their hats and yelled for fully seven
minutes. The Senator smiled his sad smile and
sat down. When the last echo died away he got
up again After introducing the resolution ratffy-
ing the national platform and ticket he said:
Never was there such overwhelming sentiment
displayed in a convention for any man. The con-
vention itself established precedent in nominating
a twice defeated candidate Never has there been
high a tribute paid TO the personality of one
man. Inasmuch the Democracy of the United
States has fit nominate Mr.. Bryan, the ira
ditions of organization compel US TO rally to
his support heartily. It has been my privilege to
know the candidate for the Vice-Presidency for
great Mr.. Bryan is he has a worthy associate in
Mr. Kern who, If the necessity arose, could assume
the office of President with credit TO himself and
honor to his party
The resolution passed without further fuss.
