When a i. 2:iu the temporary chairman was able to luake himself beard, he demanded order and called for the report of the committee ou credentials. There wu a long delay. Chairman Head of Tennessee couU not be found. Mr. Bryan, the tustorfidii of the minority report, thinking that Mr. Head wa on hi way to the platform u make hi leport. made hi own way to the front and appeared on the stage. Tbl provoked another outburst which could not be quelled for two or more. The confusion wa so gtcal that lr, William used a megaphone to make himself beard, and Yarded used similar Instruments in addressing the chair. The chairman of the committee on credentials was tailed for several times and then some one created amusement by yelling: The convention has lost it head." Word was received by Mr. Williams that the chairman would he delayed a few minutes In getting his report ready-fu- r presentation. A motion to invite Goverfior Beckham of Kentucky to address the convention was called, but ho begged to be excused. Hourke Cock-ra- n wa called for. but be wa not in the hall. The band supplied entertainment during the wuit with a concert. Starting with the Star Spangled Banner" and followed by Dixie. the band provoked spontaneous applause. Yankee Doodle," Hail Columbia" and "Maryland were played by request and kept the convention In good humor. At about 3 oclock Mr. Head reached the stage. Ashe began to read an uproar started and Mr. Williams threatami ened to have tiie sergeant-at-arm- a the itollce clear the galleries. One maa who persisted In the Interruptions was removed from the hall. Mr. Head was listened to attentively ae he read hi report and moved It adoption. He explained that some of the contests had been brought to tne convention In the form of minority report, and suggested that these be acted upon separately. The contest In relation to the District of Columbia delegation wa first, considered. One of the contestants moved that both delegation be seated end each given half vote but this motion was lost That left the Illinois case the only one before the convention. By agreement fifteen minutes was allotted to each side end Mr. Bryan opened with a statement that he was mii-ip- motioning encouragement proved too much for the more orderly delegates to wlL'isl&nd. They Joined with the demonstrative ones until the applause waa converted into a deafening roar. The Democratic convent iod adopted th report of th committee on resolution, credentials snd permanent organization today. The teuton opened at 10 oc lock, an hour until 2 p. m., and luer took a adjourned at 6:20 p. m. During the day several speech ea were nadfl, rhlef of which was William J. effort to overthrow the report a the credential commit! and neat contesting delegate from Illinois The coatruveray wa ended by the rejection of the minority report of the committee 209 aye. by a vote of 647 nay and Though Mr. Bryan's speech And hi appearance on the floor of the convention was cheered far beyond any previous demonstration, it made few vote. The alignment of delegate proved the of previous estimate of division belwen those who favor the radical and those who are supporting the conservative element which le now in St. fotuls. July 7. As the applause opened. Temporary Chairman Williams, who wa ready to call the convention to order, started in to tgubdue It with hiB gavel. Soon that was drowned out completely. Seeing tbat he was getting no aid from his fellow convention officials, Mr. Williams contented himself with a desultory pounding with hla gavel which could be seen but not heard. The confusion In the hall waa unprecedented. Strong lunged admirers of the Nebraskan openly left the seats In the spec-, tutors reservation and massed about' the Nebraska delegation. Th noise of the demonstration increased In volume ever, after It seemed tha- - the limit of endurance must have been reached. After the aplause had continued, unbroken for more than fifteen minutes. Temporary Chairman William again tried to get the attention of the delegates and motioned the baud, only to learn a moment later that the Instruments were pouring out all the volume of which they were capable. Not a note could be heard on the speakers platform, unless it waa listened for Inconservatently. Then It was that theaid of the tive forces turned to the chair. They started out the applause for Parker. His name on a purple banner proved almost aa magnetic as Bryan In the flesh. From one idol to another the gathering turned. The Georgia delegation , carrying the Parker banner, marched to the platform and the cheering wa increased, If .that- - were possible. The applause wea general, coming from delegates, from the galleries and other parte of the Coliseum. Every new movement was the signal for renewed efforts. The South Carolina Standard waa held beside tbe Georgia banner. Inasmuch rec-ea- jjfj-an- s es control. When the result of the contest was announced, the report of the committee on permanent organization waa made. Representative Champ Clark, who was chosen permanent chairman of the con- vention, prepared and furnished to the pres a speech of great length. The hour was so late when be gained the platform, however, that he spoke about goo words and left hla audience to read the remainder. The ovation given to Mr. Bryan waa one of the greatest ever witnessed at any of the notable events for which the Immense Coliseum le famed. It was begun before the afternoon session of the convention had been called to order and lasted for twelve minutes with eo mu h furore that temporary Chairman Williams and all of hie assistants Including a hundred policemen, were un- able to restore order. Quiet came from confusion only after the Parker forces Joined In, and by persistent .ef- the fort turned the tide by a great counter demonstration for the New Yorker, so tbat the favorite candidate for the presidential nomination fully reaped the harvest of enthusiasm sown for Mr. Bryan. The inconsistencies of a great organized body such aa Is farmed by the spectators and alternates making up a great political convention was aptly illustrated in todays gathering. Thousands of throats cheered Bryan as lustily as they did when he was chosen four years ago as the Dempcratic candidate for president. The great tumult to the uninitiated would have been proof positive that the Nebraskan more than ever waa the hero of hie party. And yet, when the banner bearing tbe In- BUT FORLORN HOPE LEFT They Think that Adoption of Gold Plank itly May Alienate Several States from Favorite His Supporters Expect Nomination on the First Ballot Cast ma-.-c- g. overwhelmingly against him. The and other space In the hall al- lCT"l to spectators showed how great mewing card he la Practically every waa occupied, and the aisles were cru ded. On the platform sat dlsiln- nkhefi guest In greater number than sr j previous session. The increased 'tf!. lance was to a great extent due l tie fact that Mr. Bryan was slated o on a matter sure to engender f and spirited debate. W'ipq Mr. Bryan entered the hall at the hour the convention was to if ailed to order, the first sound o a'iae in the vicinity of tlie Xe- t'fi. ka delegation draw every gaze in iL'11 clrectlon.

Mr. Clark summarized the situation up and wisely made only a few remarks and recognized a motion to adjourn until 10 o'clock tomorrow. The motion was errried with cheers.

The chairman recognized Mr. Bryan to apeak in behalf of hi motion to subatitut the minority for the majority report.
