Bryan Makes Speech.
"In this convention" he said. ''the
progressive sentiment was over
whelming, and no candidate would
have a chance IL known not to be
progressive"
The resolution adopted against any
candidate subservient to Morgan,
Ryan and Belmont showed the desires
of the convention, Mr.. Bryan said.
The vote of New York represented
the wishes of one man, Charles F.
Murphy, Mr.. Bryan said. and he
represented the same interests that
sought to dominate the Chicago con-
vention. He and his associates Of the
Nebraska delegation, he said, we're
unwilling to accept the name of any
man who was receiving the benefit of
Mr.. Murphy's leadership.
Shouts of approval constantly in

liamentary protests, but he pushed
on.

Mr.. Bryan, ito the nomination of any
man who will not be absolutely r
to carry out the anti-Morgan-Ryan-
Belmont resolution, and make his ad

hold my vote from Mr.. Clark as long
as New York votes for him."
Governor McCorkle, Of West Vir-

nomination of a Democratic candi-
date Is made with the vote of New
York, will you then support the can

AS Bryan began to answer a dele

of Messrs. Morgan, Belmont and
Ryan"
Answering McCorkle, Mr.. Bryan
said 1t was a different thing to oppose
a man in a convention and oppose
him after a convention. Nothing he
said would justify the supposition
that he would not support the nomi-

asked Governor Brewer, of Missis-
sippi.
1T deny the right of the gentleman
to ask such a hypothetical question
unless he puts into the question every
material and relative element of the
issue"
Knox, of Alabamt, was on his chair,
shouting protests against the arbi-
trary continuance of Bryan's speech.
Uproar In Convention.
"Oficers will seat that man." was
shouted from the platform, as Knox
vehemently shook his fist and con-
tinued his protest, while pande-
monium reigned on the floor and in
the galleries.
Adding to the confusion the police
elected an intruder who was mis-
taken by the crowd for a delegate.
Waves of alternate protest and APP
prevail fairly shook the building while
Bryan still stood amid the storm mo-
tioning for quiet hat he might pro-
coed.
81 expect to support the nominee of
this convention" exclaimed Bryan.
II do not expect an yman to be NOM
mated here who would permit a part

Belmont and himself. But l am not
called upon to give a bond to meet an

svery man had a right to speak his
voice and take the responsibility.
Il demand the regular order-the

Palmer, of Pennsylvania.
The din soon drowned out Senator

poll of the Nebraska vote on the four
zenith ballot-terporarily interrupted
by Bryan's appearance-was resumed,
Bryan closed with the declaration
that he would cast hisSvote for Gov
ernor Wilson, while cheer after cheer
rolled from the galleries and floor, to-
gether with a volley of protests and
Kisses.
Bryan made his way back to the
Nebraska delegation, having thus
added another sensation to the con-
vention's proceedings.
Bryan was soon involved again In
heated controversy, as a question
vas raised as to each Nebraska dele
gate choosing his own alternate.
Amid the confusion Mr.. Bryan on a
chair could be family heard declar-
ing hal if New York and Virginia
maintained their sovereign rights
concerning such delegates as sat with
them (referring to Messrs. Belmont
and Ryan Nebraka maintained her
right to select her delegates and al
~ternates in her own way.
When the Oklahoma poll was taken
delegates from that State demanded
the sam eright accorded to MIR. Bryan

controversy, Mr.. Bryan appealing fol

form.
