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

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

, .enough to force a minority report. If

The committee was said to be badly

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

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

here, after being repudiated by tho
democracy In open state convention.

heads of Democrats who have never
either voted the Republican ticket or

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

ent, but later rescinded that action and
announced It would pass upon the mer

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

state. .
Iiale-e and McWhiston accused tne

Tliev declared that he had personally

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

The last case taken up was the con

The delegates held a caucus this

The wine and bear was part of the

were unpacked at the Hotel Law It was
discovered that part of tho drinkables
had disappeared. The delegation Im

Finally it was decided that It had

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,

thousand men will rise as one man and

cheer the winner.
So this convention will take sn the
