ON THE SIDELINES AT DENVER
(Cnlted Press UaMd Win.)
t Denver, Col., July . 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

and visitors have been Imbued with th
carnival spirit and the police are trying
to put a damper on It. Iast night thou

AT GUFFEY'S RAGE
(United Press LeHed Wire.)
Denver, Col., July 9. An effort is
belne made todav bv the anti-Bryanites
to show, as a result of the voting in the thera is little doubt that he would have
been mobbed. As It was, the chair had
ever heard In a national convention
since the Civil war. When a request
that he should ne heard was made In
the first Place. It was voted down, but
Chairman Bell, under orders from Lin
coln, carried It under the gavel, only
to have tiie Alabama congressman set
the wb.ole convention by the tars.
From tho beginning or nis speech.
Mr. Hobson was belligerent. And the
audience turned ugly before he had
said a dozen words. By catcalls. Jeers,
hisses, screeches and every contemptu
ous sound known to facile Americans,
he was adjured to take his seat and
keep his mouth shut on his verbal fire
brands. But with the aid of Chairman
Belt he went on to the end amidst rio
tous confusion.
Told to Chase Himself.
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. This claim
Is based on the fact that only 615 votes
could be mustered to carry out the
Brvan plan of ousting the Guffey dele
gates. 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.

voting for Guffey.

This Is a total of 123 votes. 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

land him at tha head of the ticket in

before ho could finish.
Hobson carefully worxed un to his
grand climax. He spoke of the en
croachments of the Japanese, of their
vaunting ambition, and their pride in
their own achievements of arms.
"Across the ocean," he shouted in
his reverberating voice, "there awaits
an army of 20,0uO.O0O men, trained and
equipped for war with America."
With one voice the great audience
arose and hooted that statement. Hob

"Sink another Merrimac and vour

ed above tho tumult that Chalrmag Bell
was trying to stop by vigorous puund
lng with the gavel.
But Hobson was undismayed bv thfe
hubbub, and showed his determination
to to right on. Perhsps he wanted to
prove that a man who had not stopped
for a few hundred thousand cannon
balls and shells was not to be delayed
lonjj by the hisses of merely 10 U00
people.
"One moment." he shouted, sftpr v-
eral minutes of hissing, 'and I will

"Amen!" mared a m.ll-llke voice ihnv.
all the confusion, and the thousands
whooped, but without scaring Hobson.
As soon as he could be heard he made
his statement about President Roose
velt's views on a Japanese war. And
then It took five minutes to rrtnr
order, coupled with the chairman's
threat to turn the visitors out, so Hob
son was allowed to conclude.
"I am not a prophet," he said, "but
If this war comes, the party that is re
sponsible is going to be ground to
powoer pt tne American people"
As he had Just prevlouily said that
tho war would come within the next
four years, that th Democrats were
going to be successful end ad favored
an exclusion law that might brine on a
war. i hat statement was not well re
ceived, either. Bnt he hedged on his
firevlous remarks, when again the hlss
ng sub-sided.
"Thst Is why I come to you." he went
on. "I believe that the success of my
party is necessary to tha bacrdneaa .if
our poopia ana i want to place the
responsibility for this coming War
where it belongs on the party that has
been so lorg in power and cas faUed
to provide adequate defense"
That was putting the matter np to
th Republicans, and so there was laaa
tumult, and the speaker concluded:
"At this Juncture, lot It be known to
the world, that whatever responsibility
the future holds, whether it la Internal
dtseenelona or foreign war. our party
Is ready to meet It. and if any nation
wants to make a etruggl of resource

That was what Hobson was there Is
