"There Isn't a lawyer In this room who will say you have lert an adequate remedy at law to handle such a case." "The trouble," retorted Oompers, "Is that most of you lawyers don't know tne law."

Kay Be Minority Beporta. The Bryan leaders recognize the fact V that while Guffey got only 14 votes In the committee, they were largely from big states and that the vote on the floor of the convention will be larger. Hence there is a rallying of he Bryan forces to support the com - tnlttee's report on the floor and prevent the unit rule in the states that voted ' for Ouffey. A minority report may be ' presented on the Ouffey matter. Friends or tne nuaourg teaaer are moving heaven and earth to- bring influence , .enough to force a minority report. If .this pan be accomplished It is likely that the convention will be tied up Into .the long hours of tonight before tht; question is settled. In order that the committee might be able to adjust Its differences smlcably If possible and . thus curtail the battle on the floor an Adjournment was ordered until 2 p. m., when It was to prepare its formal re port. The vote on the Idaho contest was i the closest or tne session, neing it to 30, and there is aixo a possionuy or a ' minority report here. Illinois and New York decisions were unanimous and that affected the District of Columbia also. , In the Ninth Ohio district the cre- - 3entlale committee sea tea ine anil Johnson delegation. Denver, Colo.. July 8. After what 'aras probably as stormy an all-night session of a committee on credentials iis was ever held at a Democratic na tional convention, the permanent roll of the D resent convention was still incom xleta this morning. The committee had , Keen In practically continuous session fines S o'clock yesterday afternoon, bearing" evidence In the several con tests, and spent the early Iwum today In executive 'conclave debating the mer- ' Us. It expected to be ready to report to the convention soon after norm, when the second day's session of the conven tioa Is called to orde. So severs-were the attacks rn some f the "bosses"! that the committee, after bearing the evidence In the Iiaho rase In public, directed that all others be heard In private behind closer! ri&ftrs.

The committee was said to be badly divided, but it was exDected that all questions in dispute would be amicably settled before adjournment and that there would be no minority report Tne Battle of the Bosses. Throughout the night and morning three leaders. Colonel James M. Ouf fey of Pennsylvania, Roger C. Bullivan of Illinois, and Patrick H- McCarren of New York, fought hard for the perpet uation of their political power, and when the committee finally began the preparation or its report cnasms nad been- split Into the body Democratic In Pennsylvania, New York and Illinois that are likely to remain for a long time. As the night wore on the bitterness between the factions in the lobbies In creased and several times fist fights were only prevented bv the interfer ence of bystanders. This was. particu larly so In the cases of New York and Pennsylvania contingents. "Orchard" Jackson Called a Liar. The first contest heard was that from Idaho, and It was the only one which the general public witnessed. John F. Nugent fought It out with former .Sena tor Fred T. Dubois and State Chalrrruin Jackson, and the He was passed a num ber of times. On one occasion, when Jackson declared that Nugent and his followers were advocates of polygamy, several, of the contestants started for him. declaring they would make him "eat" his words, but the serKeant-at- arma Interfered and the episode was endflfl. In this case arguments present ed were absolutely similar to those made before the national committee at Its session Monday. The Illinois ans Wrangle. It Was when the Illinois contests were taken ud that the real flreworkx began to go off. Oeorge F. Mulligan, openins for the so-called "Rnlihle" Burke contestants, declared that Sulli van had sent delegates to the national convention whose election 'was con summated through deceit and debauch ery." He declared that Sullivan and his friends had wrecked the Democratic party in Illinois; that it was always a case of ''rule or ruin" with him, and that he was now party to a deal to defeat the Democratic organization in Illinois. . Sullivan replied sharply to Mulligan. He Intimated that the present contests were "framed up" because "outside In fluences wanted him to get out of state politics," and declared that his op ponents were "Democrats all the year, excepting on election day, when their votes were needed." Sullivan declared his delegates were regularly eleotd ac cording to Pemocratlo usages, and he demanded that they be seated. "Throw Sullivan to the Dogs." Judge William Prentice replied tr Sullivan and almost caused a riot by the vigor of his denunciation. ny. thlg man Is not a Democrat, he began. "I can refer you to no leu an authority than Mr. Bryan himself. He has declared that Sullivan has never been a party man excepting for reve nue, and I warn this committee that Just so long: as it permits this individual to corrupt and debauch the electors of Illinois. Just so Ions; will the vote of that Mate be recorded 1n favor f Re publicans. Throw Sullivan to the dogs, where he belongs, and we will again be able to pile up the old-time majori ties the party so hsdlv needs. Let us clean house and scourge the corruptlon- lsts Into the open, where they belong, and if you will do so and seat the men who earned their seats by true party work we will see that the state gives us votes to Bryan, as it should. But this we cannot promleS so long as you continue ul!lvan and his lik in con trol" Mew York's Boanybrook. New York followed Illinois. McCar ren. as the leader of the contestants, was given the first day. He denounced the district leaders who had deserted him and aided Tammany Hal In his overthrow as "political theves who would stop at nothing to attain their own ends. Continuing- he said: "When we held our prlmsrleo last Marr-h we carried neerly every district in Kings county, ami we earned tbem fairly and br a vote of nearly five to one. But after we had held our dis trict conventions and elected our dele gates, taeee creoae pot up a rake con tent at the etste convention.

'Don't forget this. He lls; and he does not dare to say tht be will either vote or work for the prty leader. Through the columns of hl chosen organ in Brooklyn he announced that he will not tolerate Bryan or Bryanism. This Judas betrayed tho Democratic ticket at the last election in New York state and defeated the candidate for governor, Mr. Hearst. Why, Hilring the last campaign he re mained under cover until a few weeks before the day of election, and then he publicly called on his friends to knife the ticket. Here is a sample, ballot which he sent from his headquar ters to a Democratic voter. It con tains Instructions how to vote the ticket in order that the vote may bo recorded for the Remibllcan candidate for gov ernor and for the balance of the Dem ocratic ticket. For years he has openly traded with the Republican leaders, and now he has the effrontery to come here, after being repudiated by tho democracy In open state convention. and ask that you seat him over the heads of Democrats who have never either voted the Republican ticket or affiliated with the party. Democracy stands for home rule, and we have thrown this, man out of our party. All you can do, If you are Democrats, is to indorse the action of our state con vention and repudiate once and for all McCarren of Kings." Ohio Settlement Deferred. In the two Ohio district contests the evidence presented was an exact dupli cate of that brought out before the national committee at its meeting n Monday. There was no appearance for the delegates of the Nineteenth district, seated by the national com mittee on the personal appeal of Mayor Tom J j. Johnson. i ne commiiie vuic j to seat the contestants, who were pres ent, but later rescinded that action and announced It would pass upon the mer its of the case when the other con tests were voted upon. Fennsylvanlans in Conflict. When Pennsylvania was reached Charles Donnelly and William J. Bren nan presented the side of the Guffey man. while J. Berwood Daly and I-ev McWhiston argued against continuing on the roll the delegates who are friend ly to the Pittsburg boss. Both Donnelly and Brennan argued that Guffey was the logical leader of the party 1n Pennsylvania and they denied that he had ever made deals with the Republican bosses of Phil adelphia whereby they had aiaea in defeating the Bryan men in that city. Thev stated that Guffey had worked unceasingly for the success of the Dem ocratic party and declared that were it not for his efforts and his liberpl use of funds for party use there would he no democracy In the Keystone state. . Iiale-e and McWhiston accused tne Penn.vlvBnlft boss of selling out the partv In Philadelphia to the enemy In return for support at party primaries Tliev declared that he had personally heirKed every member of the last stat4 convention to vote In favor of an un Instrueted deleiratlon to Denver as a tribute tn his years of service to the party, and they stated that he had prom ised to support Bryan but had abso lutely failed to keep his word. In Executive Session. There were several heated verbal en counters during- the presentation of the Pennsylvania case, wf.lrh continued long after daylleht. and it required radical measures by the chairman to keep peace The last case taken up was the con test from the District of Columbia, and here also the evidence was exactly the same as presented tn the commit tee Monday Th credentials commit tee thep went Into executive session and at once he can the discussion of the merits of eah rontest.

How the average politician is afraid of the people in the daylight and how he defies them in the dark. Mr. Ouf fey has the night to work in. and he may beat Mr. Bryan before morning, but in the daylight of the convention even on the merits of this particular case Bryan Is wrong. Bryan neverthe less will win. For In this convention Bryan means the people la the minds of the delegates, just as Roosevelt meant the people in Chicago. Etudy of Crowd. But for all the outward analogies between this Denver convention and the recent Chlcaso convention there Is temperamentsl difference in the heart of the crowd. This crowd, rather an older crowd than the Chicago crowd, not so cheerful and more Irascible Is In Its core a protest Democracy with the large rampant U. always is a protest ana the composite face of the crowd Is the face of the man who doean't propose to stand it any longer. The snlrlt of the Chicago crowds was comnlacence. The face of this Wowd Is afire with indignation. Tne ienver as a wnoie is not so wen dressed, not so well Accoutred, not so 'well fed. not so well pleased with the merry old world as was the Chicago crowi There is more Irish and less Dutch in it. If a fight starts here i thousand men will rise as one man and cheer the loir. In Chicago they would cheer the winner. So this convention will take sn the forlorn hopes of the Chicago platform, partly from policy and partly because It is the nature of the creature to "mourn with them that mourn." In the matter of he vice-presidency there Is only one good gueas. Jsryan aaA Ghaynor.
