Sherman's march to the sea has again caused trouble. The famous cowboy band, which furnishes the music at the con-, ventlon, played "Marching Through Georgia" as the Oeorgla delegation reached the Auditorium today, where upon the delegates from Georgia held an Impromptu indignation meeting. They declared the selection of that piece of music was either a very bad mistake or an Insult. Heyond the repe tition of the old charges that Sherman was a barn-burner and guerilla Instead of a soldier, no action was taken. Denver has be;iin to make a Mardl Gras out of the convention. Renlilents and visitors have been Imbued with th carnival spirit and the police are trying to put a damper on It. Iast night thou sands of tin horns and other carnival paraphernallattwere turned loose on tbo streets. A big touring automobile, loaded with policemen, started out to corral the noise-makers. Wheverer a nroup of celebraters was noticed a po eeman hopped out of the automobile and gathered him and his Instruments In. Within eight blocks the tonneau was heaped with tin horns and "tick lers." Franklin K. Lane's boom for the vlce- fresidency departed In a manner amus ng to most of the Democrats at Den ver, but In a way that;s another story on the Pacific coast. A long while ago some one In California who admired Lane's record on the Interstate com merce commission started a boom for the vice-presidency for him. J. Ham ilton Lewis was one of the loudest Lane Boosters just oeiore tne conven tion ODened. Then a Callforhian re minded Lewis and the other boosters that the boom had died months ago in California because It had been learned that Lane was not a native-born Ameri can, having originally been a uritisn subject on Prince Edward's island.

And if he had tried to talk any longer Democratic convention on the Ouffey case, that Bryan has not the necessary two thirds to nominate him.

If the 387 delegates who voted to sustain Ouffey were to stand firm. 1 is argued, they could prevent the nomination of Bryan on the first ballot. In this speculation it is said, how ever, they overlooked the many deic- fates who came here under, the positive ntitructions to vote for Bryan for tlte presidency, but did not consider them selves bound bv those instructions to support all of his policies throughout. a, id exercised their own free will In voting for Guffey.

Adding them to the 615 votes cast In the con vention against Ouffey makes a grand total of i38 at the very least whl-h will go to Bryan on the first ballot for president. As the number necessary to nominate Is only 671 It will bo seen that Brvan has 67 more than two thlrrts of the convention ,or him on the basis of last nights vote alone, which will land him at tha head of the ticket in triumph.

With disheveled hair and faces flushod with a new-found zeal, they stormed the fortress of those states which stood out against the tumult. They circled about New York, Dela ware, Minnesota and Georgia, who.se delegates sat stolid and unmoved, and In pleading, coaxing, threatening voices, then with Imprecations and finally with Impetuous force, sought to Induce the recreiin'.s to Join the swirling Bryan processfcm that was sweeping through I lie hull. .
