demonstration which lasted for long
time.

day and at the close OF the fOrty-nftn
ballot the managers of the other can
didates conceded their defeat. Sena-
tor Stone and Ex-Governor Francis,
managers for Champ Clark, admitted
that the speakers chances were gone
and formally released the delegates
who were pledged to him. Senator

greeted with wild cheers by the Will

the confusion the next ballot was Or
dered, but every one knew what the
result would be and just kept on yell

necessary 726 the noise was deaten-
ing. All the delegates were standlng
on their chairs, and almost at once
the usual procession Of state stand
ards was started by the enthusiasts.
Delegation after delegation fell into
line and the shouting parade marched
through the aisles, before the speak
er's stand and down the alsles again.
Chairman James knew it was useless
to try to restore order until the people
had exhausted themselves, so he ola
not make the effort. Even the men
who for a week had fought stubbornly
against the nomination OF the COVER
nor seemed glad that it was all over.
They had struggled desperately
through many sweltering sessions and
used every artifice of politics in vain,
and they were ready to accept the
verdict and go home for clean col
lar and a rest.
