Resolved, That this resolution be
wired at once to William Jennings
! Bryan. GfHR
mendous effect produced by his original
onslaught The crowd has had time to
cool off and think 1t over Mr. Bryan
will have to find some other match with
which to fire the convention He is apt
to find it,
Meanwhile r. +. Ryan and August Bel
mont are leaning back much relieved like
! two gentlemen just back from BalalIava
with all the buttons shot off their clothes
and their hats riddled.
Meanwhile Idaho is reached in the roll
call and votes eight for Bryan 1t does
not matter to the two heroes of Balaklava,
however The resolution is no longer to
put them out. 1t merely says that they
are unfit to be in the convention.
Have you ever dreamed that you we're
out in a crowded street stark naked, try
ing to hide behind a doorstep With a mil
lion fingers pointed at you?
Dreadful Dream is over.
And have you walked up with q gentle
sigh to find yourself in bed, suitably clad?
If so, you know how the two veterans of
the Bryan Balaklava, Ryan and Belmont,
feel now that the dreadful dream is over.
Ryan of a deep religious turn, was re-
minded of that scene in the book Of Job,
when the Lord asks Job Where vast
thou when l laid the foundation of the
earth?"
Ryan, who felt like Job, only smaller
and more miserable, hardly knew what
to answer when he was asked. Where
was thou when l laid the foundation of
| the Democracy, sixteen years ago?'
He might have answered 81 was at
tending to my own business in the Nor
ton Trust Company"
But Bryan would not take any such
answer as that. However, the dream of
honor has seen its worst for the present,
The night has still far to go. It is only
half past ten. and the heroes of Wall
Street may have more doses of the Bryan
Armageddon in store for them Massa-
chusetts has Just voted 3S for Bryan and
against him SO far there are 232 votes
with Bryan and 14S against him
Minnesota gives her "a votes to Bryan.
We have heard nothing at all from the
Wilson supporters, who thought that
Bryan was working for them. No more

them They were reused from a sweet
dream just as the awful nightmare of
the Balaklava heroes began.
wings on one big toe and began to do
fancy pirouetting in the old La Scala
days the dear. cunning little coryphees
were all forgotten. So it is in this politi-
cal opera When Taglioni Bryan hops out
in his big speech all the little coryphee
candidates dwindle.
Bryan will win this vote by an over
whelming majority He had TO back wa
ter a little. Although IT would have been
i glorious for him to send those two Wall
] Street heroes out stiff and cold, he de-
! cided not to risk a defeat on the motion
I to put the two men out.
! When Bryan saw that he was sure to
win by very high vote his emasculated
resolution, he was evidently relieved and
went to the rear of the platform where
he sits now with eyes closed. resting as
he listens to various samples Of 1atterng

| Bryan is wonderful IN his ability to keep
| his head in the middle OF a fight, digging
up something from the Bible just right,
or thinking Of an insult TO Wall Street,
apropos He can press the fight or run
| in a moment, as he did Just now when he
abandoned the effort to put Ryan and Bel
mont out-because he did not like them.
When Choynski had knocked out Robert
Fitzsimmons. the latter gentleman, as he
told the story, thought after a while that
he heard voices. Then he looked up and
saw chairs up in the gallery Then he
heard voice counting six, seven, eight"
| Then he came to himself II believe I'm
hghting some one and I'm getting counted
out" He rose to his feet as the referee
counted nine staggered over 10 Choyn-
ski and knocked that gentleman so thor
oughly senseless that he did not come 10
for two hours.
others because he is a genuine profession
al and never lost his presence Of mind.
SO It is with Bryan He is still rest
ing eyes closed, most asleep, saving up
for the next hard punch.
| Tennessee is just called. The vote now
stands 708 in favor Of Bryan and only 207
against him That's why he is DOING
and why he no longer glares around with
the fierce eye OF a hen that misses a
chicken
A two-thirds vote is needed to pass the
motion made by Bryan-just the per-
centage needed to nominate Bryan will
get the two-thrds vote for his motion.
Weep. you little coryphee candidates.

And you also please weep, battling Bull

Bryan the Man Who Knows How.
BRYAN is the man who knows how
when it comes 10 political manipulation.
He began his fight against Parker and
was beaten He made another fight and
carried more than half the convention.
/ He made the fight on the South Dakota
contests and won by almost the needed

Now he makes this fight, holding two
octopuses up 20 scorn and naming them
and winning by 8s9 votes to 1876. many
more than il would take TO nominate him
This vote is announced and the yelling
