floor which wus joined in only in part
by the galleries.
Hrynn wus very pnle and his face
was set und rigid. He shook his
head in a deprecating manner and
raised his baud in an attempt to still
the audience, but they were not to be
denied. The cheering swelled across
from delegation to delegation, mid at
lust the galleries took it up.
The delegations from Ohio, Wiscon
sin, Minnesota, Texas, Nebraska,
Kansas and Oklahoma were on their
feet, but the big New York, Indiana
and Illinois delegations sat stolidly in
their seats. Hryan appealed to Mack
to restore quiet, and finally he wus
able to begin.
"Gentlemen of tho convention," he
said, "I rise to place in nomination for
-the office of teranohtry'efininnnii, the"
name of Hon. John W. Kern of In
diana." Kern Is Nominated
The mention of Kern's mime started
the applause again, the same state
delegations leading, Indiana remaining
silent.
"In thus, dissenting from the judg

Hryan continued, "I reqeguuc that
the burden of proof is upon mo to
