land, West Virginia and Virginia
In Convention

Baltimore, June 26.--Whether OF
not Senators John Walter Smith, OF
Maryland, Martin Of Virginia and Wat.
son, of West Virginia are the reac-
tionaries, the friends of Mr.. Bryan
claim is immaterial. The fact that
doomed large during and after the
fight over the temporary craftsmanship
yesterday afternoon was that these
senators are absolutely in control of
the delegations of these three States,
and that the votes in the main will go
where they direct. During the night
and in the early hours of yesterday
morning, before the convention was
called to order the Bryan following lab
ored zealously for votes against Judge
Parker among the men from Mary
land, Virginia and West Virginia.
While the result shows that in no case
was solid vote cast aginst Bryan
in any of these States. his followers
were in such a hopeless minority that
their influence was negligible.

BRYAN REFUSES TO
D|VULGE SECRETS
]. D. Richardson Tells of Previous
Bryan Demonstrations.

Baltimore, Md, June 2g--That was
a big outburst OF enthusiasm at the
afternoon session yesterday" said
James y. Richardson, OF Tennessee.
tbut not to be compared with the
two. other great demonstrations for
Bryan" The former Democratic lea
der of the House was watching the
Bryan-Parker contest with intense In
terest
DO you remember that at Kansas
City when his name was presented
for the nomination the crowd cheered
continuously for 40 minutes" Mr.
Richardson was permanent chairman
of that convention In Kansas City. He
doesn't approve Of long speeches, His
own address when he took the chair
was only 20 minutes in length.
But the most spontaneous outburst
/ ever saw was at the close of Bryan
cross-and-erown' speech at Chicago.
He simply electrified that convention"
Mr.. Richardson also was in the chair
for hours during that convention OF
1896, Bryan followed David Bennett
Hill, who made one OF the greatest
speeches of his life against free silver.
Confusion and noise are inevitable
in an immense gathering like this. >"
said Mr.. Richardson. "Hill didn't un-
derstand how 10 deal with such a tn.
multous crowd. He was annoyed and
nervous, telling me that he could not
speak unless / could get order. Just
begin to speak, Senator said. and
the crowd will quiet down He did.
and in three minutes that immense
audience was listening intently. Bryan
plunged in and caught them from the
first sentence"
Mr.. Richardson is one OF the most
modest as well as most distinguished
Democrats in Baltimore this week. He
served in Congress 20 years and was
leader of the Democratic minority
Since his retirement from politics he
has devoted his life to the Masonic
order. being the head of the Scottish
Rite and holding the highest rank Of
any Mason in America.
