Mr.. Bryan believes that he has achieved
great moral victory In securing the
passage Of his MorganR Ryan Belmont
resolution, which was hurled into the con-
vention like bombshell last night Over
the breakfast table Mr.. Bryan talked
freely OF the resolution. Asked what the
effect would be he replied:
"You wait a week. There never has
been such an alignment of a political
party against an interest Just see the
vote that was cast for the resolution"
rs not the resolution nullified by the
elimination OF the last clause demanding
the withdrawal OF any delegates repre-
senting the Morgan-Rya inter.
ests?"
NO" replied Mr.. Bryan with emphasis.
THE last clause was merely putting into
effect the first clause. When before in
any convention have we had such men
named?"
Getting Them in Line.
What do you think of virginia's vote
In favor Of this resolution? There were
twenty-three and one half votes for 1t
and one-half vote against 1t, and Thomas
F. Ryan was sitting in the delegation"
This resolution has made the dele
gates get into line. Those who nomi-
mated a reactonary after adopting this
resolution would never dare go home IL
they lived west of the Allegheny noun
tains The convention has gone on rec
ord"
An inquiry whether he would support a
reactionary candidate seemed to nettle
Mr.. Bryan and he gave no definite an
swer.
Mr. Bryan, 1t Is suggested among dele
gates that conditions might arise that
would cause you to bolt"
IT don't reply to every report that Is
started about me-" answered the Ne
braskan. Il don't think any man has
the right to ask me that question.
When this convention started, could you
tell what was going to happen? A mans
course of action must be determined as
circumstances arise"
Mr.. Bryans friends say the passage of
the ''bombshell' resolution has shown
the country that this is a progressive
convention and that progressive must
be named.

BALTIMORE. June @.-After sitting

lot on the presidential nomination shortly
before 7 o'clock this morning. There was
no choice. In fact. all of the candidates

Ties, at Bottom of River.

The schooner Edith Verrall. one Of the
Clark fleet of this city, is lying at the
Firth Sterling steel plant wharf on the
river a short distance below this city,
full of water and with a hole in the bot

not leaking. That night she suddenly
began to fill and in a few minutes was
lying on the bottom in about five feet
of water. 1t is supposed that when the

tied on a rock or submerged log that
smashed in several planks in the vessels
