shouted to the leaders Of the state dele
cations under his control. And the or
der was quickly followed. New York
and Virginia, the two commohwealths
chiefly affected by the resolution were
called out of their turn. They hurriedly
voted their strength with Bryan. The
example was followed and the resolution
went through with a whoop.
The conservative leaders realized, how
ever, that while they had given Bryan
an unexpected victory they had also put
out of his power the right TO bolt. Muir
phv told the New York delegation blunt
iv that he believed the resolution was
ony part Of a plan Bryan had to raise
the issue and get outside of the party
breastworks.
"But we will keep him until after
election, anyhow" the Tammany leader
told his lieutenants when they urged him
to assail the Nebraskan and rebuke him
for what they termed his audacity.
Murphy and Sullivan. probably more
than anyone else in the room, realized
what it would mean to the party's
chances in the coming campaign were
Bryan to Join the new progressive move
ment. So they were willing to concede
him everything but the nomination. They
were even willing that the presidential
candidate should be a progressive and
the platform a radical document, so long
as they had Bryan to fall back on the
stump this fall to pull through their
local and congressional candidates.
The fight over the Bryan resolution
threw the convention off its stride II
was eleven o'clock when the roll-call OF
states was reached, and John II. Bank
head, from the Alabama delegation, first
on the list, launched the Underwood
boom. As he concluded, the first of a
series of demonstrations began, which
for fervor and duration have seldom been
equalled at national conventions. 1t wae

sion since this convention opened last
Tuesday.
1t had been probably the most remark
able night in the history of the time-hon-
ored Democratic party. Expecting n
quiet session, filled only with oratory and
possible balloting, William Jennings
Bryan had shattered the harmony lutte
which the leaders of the conservatives
had been trying so hard to construct.
His bitter denunciation of the money
trust, and his personal attack on J. z.
Morgan, August Belmont and Thomas f.
Ryan, the two latter of whom had sat
impassively in their seats under the lash
of his denunciation. had the effect of
dislodging all hopes that there would be
accord between the Nebraskan and the
conservatives who had been apparently
so anxious, publicly at least to placate
the western leader.

BRYAN LEADS
FIGHT ON THE
RICH LEADERS

The fight by Bryan "to rid the Demo-
cratic party of the Ryan Belmont Nor
gan interests" delayed the beginning OF
nominating speeches at the night ses
sion from ten until nearly eleven Mr..
Bryan at first proposed by resolution to
throw Ryan, OF the Virginia delegation,
and Belmont. of the New York delega-
tion, out of the convention, but he aban-
doned this plan in the face of storm
of protest from those states. His modi-
fed resolution declaring against any can
didate under the influence of those inter.
ests carried overwhelmingly.
The resolution was adopted by a vote
Of Ss9 TO 90 mot voting two, absent
onel The text follows:
Resolved That in this. crisis in our
party's career, and in our country's his
tory, this convention sends greeting to
the people of the United States and as
sures them that the party of jefferson
and of Jackson is still the champion OF
popular government and equality before
the law As a proof Of our fidelity TO the
people, we hereby declare ourselves op-
1 posed to the nomination of any candi-
date for President who is the represent
ati,e of, or under any obligation to j.
Piepont Morgan, Thomas +. Ryan, Au-
gust Belmont, or any other member of
the privilege hunting and favor-seelling
class"
The following clause was in Bryan's
resolution, but was withdrawn by Bryan
when he found it was obnoxious to the
convention:
"Be it further resolved. That we de-
mand the withdrawal from this conven.
tion of any delegate or delegates con-
stituting or representing the above.
named interests"
BRYAN AMENDED 1T.
The convention was thrown into a
furore by the resolution, which as orig.
inally introduced called for the with.
ldrawal of Ryan and Belmont, delegates
from Virginia and New York, respec
I lively. This part of the resolution was
resented as invading the rights of SOW
ereign States, and when its full import
became known, boos and cat-calls, ieeri
and Kisses were mingled with handicap
ping, cheers and stamping of feet in tn,
galleries and on the floor.
p Representative n. d. Flood. of Vir
ginia, dramatically characterized tn,
proposition as insolent and said it cam,
from "the only man who desired to de
stroy the Democratic party"
Former Governor McCorlSle, Of Wes
Virginia, called it foolish. Mr.. Bryai
made the situation even more dramati
by asking Virginia and New York to re
quest a modification of the resolution
and when they sconed the suggestion h.
took the course himself.
The faces of Murphy, Taggart, Sulli
. van and others of the old line leader
i were studies as they listened 10 tn
Bryan declaration and quickly decides
: what action TO take on it. The momen
that the Nebraskan withdrew the con
cluding portion of his resolution whicI
would have forced the expulsion of Ryal
and Belmont as delegates, the battle wa
won for Bryan. Sullivan, as spokesman
T for the conservatives, hurried about tn
I hall.
Give it to him, if he wants it." h

his legs.

schools here and then took up an

CROWD NOT In
MOOD FOR HYMNS

The attempt of an elderly Clark rooter
to turn the convention into an old-fash-
ioned revival by striking up "All Hail
the Power of Jesus Name" through a
megaphone caused amusement to the
Tammany delegation. The Jealous
Clarkite finally gave up in disgust for
lack of encouragement.
After an hour of cheering for Clark the
roll of states ives continued.
