DENVER. July S.?The Xew York
delegatlon thought to havo a meeting
thls afternoon at 4 o'clock to talk can?
didates. At tlie lnst moment. however,
the conference was postponed until to
morrow morniner at 10:30 o'clock.
The actlon of thc New Yorkers Iti
pefusing to joln wlth a wlil ln to-day's
.demonstration in the convention for the
Ccmmoner has glven the men of Xew
Jersey. Mlnnesota, Georgia and other
Stat?__jvho do not belleve in Bryan and
Bryani-.ni. something Uke a glow of
- encouraserocnt. On iho other hand, the
great howling spectacle for Bryan to
day has convinced most people of what
? they belleved all slong?that Bryan's
nomlnatlon on the first ballot cannot
be preventcd.
As to Vlcc-Presldon.j.-.
Tlie talk about a vice-presldential
candidate has become a farcc. Alt_*iost
anybody who wants thc job and who
can get a delegatlon for hlm can have
? !t. There is still talk of Ollie James
and John \Y. Kern, and jf tlie Xew
Yorkers can ngrce upon a man, "why
ti.ey can have the place. But the "JTew
Yorkers contlnue to act and to talfc as
if they do not care to be represonted
on the tlcket. and the Connectlcut men
are appeallng to the Xew "orkers to
help out Senator Archlbald McNelll.
But the vice.presidentlal situation
has become lost ln the scuffle. It hns
hoen subordinated to tlie dolngs of tlie
committee on credentlals nnd the com?
mittee on platform. Tho fights In
those two commlttees, tho ull-nvght
sesslons^th.e rjjpplng and pulling and
snarilng }_ave lessened tho interest ln
the v'Ice-pres.dent.ai nomlnatlon. The
Martin Llttleton boom got -another
boost thla afternoon. It was even said
that Bryan wan ted hlm, but Bryan has
sent word here In favor of so many
vlce-presldentlal possibllitles that no
more heerf is paid to tho mesaages
. from Llncoln. If tho Xew- Yorkers can
agree on Llttleton he can havo thc
?place. and that ls all thete i? to It
Llttleton nomlnated Judge Parker for
tho place- four years ago.

On the suDJ.et or' the navy Mr. Bryan
cautions tlie commlttee to be careful
not to indorse a "lurge navy.". An
"adequate navy," he says, **ls as far
aa We can go." He has no objectlon lo
a plank lndorslng atate mllitias,' but
prefers lt to be ln the language of
Thomas Jefferson on that subject: "A
well disciplined mllltla ts our best re
eognized defense."
lf a plank could be drawn on tho

' Thomas for.many months past has

DENVER is to be reincmbered as
the homo of Senator Teller, who
led the bolt from the Republlcan
convention tn 1896 at St. Louis. when
IL refused to accept free silver. Sen?
ator Teller was an ldol out hero for
a tlme. an.l when ho returned froni
that convention tlio people took the
horses from hls carriage aml attach
Ing the ropes to the tongue of the
vehlcle hauled it through the stroets.
Dlrectly after hls defeat In that samo
year, Wllllam J. Bryan vlslted Donver
and got a trc-inendous ovation. There
were over 100,000 utrangers wlthln
Denver's gates at that tlme. Bryan
spoke to the crowd from thc steps of
the Capitol here, whlle a hundred
young girls dressed In red. whlte and
blue and formlng an Immense fiag,
served as a bnckground. The sentl
ment of thls scction now, according to
people who have recalled that tlme,
would hardly duplicate such a recep?
tlon. You do not hear a mention of
?Bryan's 1S9C panacea any where.
An incident illustrating the kindly
feellng of tho people In this mile
high clty occurred the. othor nlght In
one of the best restaurants. A woman,
very poorly dressed. carrying a baby,
and leadlng by the hand another chlld,
came in and ordered a bowl of soup,
whlch sho dlvlded between nll three.
She had not been In the placo any
timo at all before three or four mon
offered through waiters to pay for
anything the little famlly wanted to
eat, But the woman was ns proud ns
an Indian prlncess, and after she and
jthe children had g*t the bowl of soup
they left the restaurant.

"Well, boys," sald State Chalrman
William J. Connors, of Buffalo, just
before the convention assembled, "four

THE Tammany braves _ paraded
through the maln thoroughfaros
.of Denver thls mornlng-. They
made a flne show. Trafflc on''Den?

the Tlgers marched between crowds
that cheered them repeatedly ln that
wholo-hearted way they hav6 of doin_r
things out here. Real Indians lead
the parade?a band of Utes, who aro

? They carrled a big Tammany ban?

They were taunted by howls and Jeers

of yesterday by Ita unbountlcd cnthu?
slasm of to-day. Never ln the hlstory
of party orgnnlzatlons In thls country
has a candidate for oiTice recolved so
prolonged a demonstration as that
Whlch broke forth at tho mention of
tho namo of Wllllam .lonnlngs Bryan
here to-day, and whlch lasted ono hour
and twenty-seven mlnutes. It com
menced at 1:20 P. M. and ended at
2:17 P. M? only ufter the moHt stren?
uous efforts on the part of Chalrman
Bell und others.
When the body asaemblod shortlv
after noon Ollie James. the Brynn
leader from Kentueky, moved a recesi
until 8 P, M., a> the credentlals com?
mitteo was not ready to report. The
convention would not have It so, and
commenced calllng for popular orators.
Flnally Unlted States Senator Thoroaa
F. Gore, the bllnd statesman from Ok?
lahoma, responded, and was maklng
a notable speech when ho llt tho flres
of enthusiasm, whlch kept delegates
and spoctators cheering wlldly for the
Nebraskan for nearly an hour and a
half.
Set Them Wlld.
Senator Gore. who Is a brilliant ora
tor, had speken less than ten mlnutes.
Describ'ng the Democraey of hls new
Stato and cxplalnlng how- It had wrlt?
ten .leffeisonlan prlnclples into Its con?
stitution. l.c provoked a demon. trellon
whlch iiehher he nor other leaj^rs had
imtlclpatcd. He referred lo thc
speeches of Bryan and Taft for and
agalnst the Constitution frnin.rt by a
Democratic convention, and when he
sald Oklahoma by more than a hundred
tbousnn.l majorlty rejeeted (he advice of
Taft-and nccept?d tho advice of Bryan,
hc was forced to suspend until thu
tumult was over. Wh<_n order was tln
ully restored, Senator Gore sot the
delegates and gallerles wlld again bv
saying: "To the older und other States
of thlB self-governing republlc Okla?
homa has only to say: 'Go thou and
do llkewise.'" -
The demonstratl* was almost lnde
scrlhable. At the mention of the Ne

Virginia stood tlie storm for a short

Is taken by friends of the Nebraskan
to forebode good results for the tlcket

Attltude of VlrKlnlnns.
A poll of the Virginia delegatlon
shows a strong sentlment for Charles
A. Towno. of New York, for second
place. Georgla ls pushing Clark How?
ell, and tho fleld is full of favorite
sons.
Towne is agreenle to Bryan, but the
latter ls sald now to prefer a runnlng
mate from the South or Middle West.
Owlng to the slckness of Senator
Daniel, Chairman Flood, of the Vir?
ginia delegation, appolnted Govornor
Swanson to act on the commlttee on
resolutlons. Thc Governor was placed
on thc subcommittee of fifteen by
Chalrman Haskell and helped work
out the rough draft of the platform.
Senator Daniel is now better and is
servlng.
The injunction plank will be strong.
and though posslbly not as drastlc as
Gompers demands, it will probably
satlsfy labor leaders, and servo to
ralse tho cry of class leglslatlon. Thls
plank is the danger which now con
fronts the Democratic party.
