Then James moved that the rules
be suspended In order that the nomin
ating speeches might be made, and
this was ordered, with the proviso
that the vote on the presidency waa
not to be taken before the platform
was adopted. After this was ordered,
I. J. Dunn, city attorney of Omaha
was recognized to place Bryan's name
In nomination. He had an excellent
voice, and while the speech was punc
tuated with volleys of applause. It was
not until the peroration was reached
that there was unanimous cheering.
When Dunn reached the climax and
mentioned Bryan's name for the first
time, there was a mighty roar. At this
slsmal someone released a big oil
painting of Bryan, dropping It over
the table. Pandemonium reigned for
an hour and 15 minutes. Delegates
threw their hats and coats In the air
and acted like madmen. A march of
standards goon set in. each stealing
banners from the others and march
ing around the halt. One rnthunlast
clambered to the rostrum with a beau-
