from the Republican convention at
Chicago in favor of his (Bryan's) al

Colonel Bryan has never intended
to vote for the candidate of this con-
yention, unless he was Bryan himself
"Bryan has supported Wilson in
some places and Clark in others all the
time, intending to produce in this
convention deadlock, from which he
could reap the harvests When New
York came here we were voting under
the unit rule A majority supported
Governor Harmon, and we supported
him until we came to the conclusion
that Speaker Clark was the strongest
candidate before this convention.
"New York is today in favor of any
Democrat who can be the friend of
the party and win.
"With this explanation, ! want to
say my personal vote is cast for
Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey"
This caused a sensation, as Stanch-

Bryan sat quietly in his seat through

occasionally smiling at Stanchfield's
attack. He made no reply.

After holding the banner where It
was a minute or two, Dave Francis
yelled: "Take 1t to Nebraska" The
banner was carried over to where
Rryan was sitting in his seat, The
MissoufIan yelled at him, Here is

Bryan, liyid with rage, jumped up
and rushed to the stage, where he
demanded Of the acting chairman,

Bryan demanded the right to an

CHAPTER u,

In my uncle's large front room thers
was a safe that he had picked up
somewhere in the dark ages of his
youth, doubtless upon some fore
closure: and 1t was one of the sim
plicities Of his complex mind that he
should cling to 1t with the faith which
child reposes in the toy savings
bank in which he had deposited his
treasure. 1t was a dogged enough
looking contraption. and around 1t re-
volve the principal characters and
events of this history as a moth cir
cles flame. Behind the portly doors
were kept the integrals of his fortune:
the mortgages, leases, deeds and notes
that were the material evidences OF
his possessions While 1t was nearly
always practically empty of cash, at
remote intervals, and for few days at
time only, 1t contained considerable
sums in specie. This last happened
when he would collect the money on =
mortgage or other security. and be-
cause of not feeling we'll would re-
ceive payment at the house instead of
the bank. Once in = long while this
would chance to occur after banking
hours, or on Sunday or holiday. and
in that event, after the payee had de-
parted, he would give himself over to
revel with the currency with all the
delight of child fondling a new toy.
He did not seem to care for gold as
the stereotyped miser always does

bundles Of greenbacks with the seem
ing fascination of a feline for catnip.
1t was during one Of these scenes
that our quarrel occurred.
