A BoMBSHELL FROM BRYAN.
The ever.busy William Jennings Bryan
u broke all schedules and smashed all states
on Thursday, two minutes after the con-
yention assembled for nominations. Under
unanimous consent he offered a resolution
castigating J. Pierpont Morgan, August
Belmont and Thomas Fortune Ryan merci-
lessly, praying that the convention be not
deluded into nominating anybody under
their influence, and urging that Belmont
and Ryan and their serfs be thrown out OF
the convention bodily. After the most bitter
debate Of the convention, amid such disor-
der that II was almost impossible 20 follow
the proceedings, Bryan had his way, so far
as the first part of his resolution was con-
earned. He eliminated the demand for the
withdrawal of Belmont and Ryan, and his
resolution was passed by vote OF sS9 TO
LOG. Then the convention settled down to
listening to speeches nominating candi-
dates for the Presidency.

of Taft delegates who were willing to
swing over TO Roosevelt to avert rupture
in the party. The number or these dele

large enough TO nominate him or any other
candidate he might name. One provision
was made. Colonel Roosevelt continued. II
