The storm became so great that
Mr. BRYAN decided to strike out thal

nation than that the resolution
spoke for itself.
The conservatives declared II would
cement the opposition to Mr.. Bryan

The al-night session of the con-
vention was picturesque In many
ways. In all there were about eigh'
Nhours of oratory and demonstrations
The Clark and Wilson forces were
the principal contestants In the
struggle to see which could keep W
the cheering longest.
Noisy Demonstration.
The Clark demonstration, the mrs
big one of the evening, lasted on
hour and five minutes. The Wilson
people, when their turn came, de
clined to quiet down until after the'
had passed the Clark record and add
ed about ten minutes to 1t. Durlnt
both demonstrations many outsider
invaded the delegate section or tn
hall. During the Wilson outburs
several marching clubs came into tn
hall.
AS rule the delegates listened pa
tiently to the somewhat lengthy nom
mating and secondihg speeches
