NYAN NOT RINGMASTER AYS GEORGE ADE; ONLY “AMONG THOSE PRESENT” unty Chairman Has a Dream for ‘the Home Folks of a Compromise * Ticket and Disgruntled Leaders Hiking for Oyster Bay. BY GEORGE ADE. (Copyright, 1912, by George Ade.) Baltimore, June 25. ‘Vance Jimmison, Antioch, Ind. My Dear Vance. A little while ago 1 crawled through the crowd and @scaped Into the rain because I didn't have the heart to alt there and see my old friend get it where it-was evident that he was going to get it. This evening he is our peerless leader. They took his jabber away from him today. Of couree they have not done any rough mutilating, and some of those who smote ex- plained, as they delivered each punch, that they were striking more in sorrow than in anger. Neverthe less and notwithstanding, the foxy stage managers who are trying to direct this entertainment think they have served an effective notice on him that he is not to be their ring- master. He is merely among those present. That is how it looks to a man in the gallery. But they will have to come around and see him before they get the needed two-thirds. When I sat there todey and watched William Jennings make that stubborn and losing fight for the election of a really and truly pro- gressive to play the first solo on the programme, I couldn't help but no tice that the old boy has changed some since he pulled that skyrocket sensation in 1896. Of course sixteen years will change anybody except Uncle Joe Cannon. Col. Bryan has not got the ginger that he had years ago. He weighs More and he looks more matured and filled out and kind of ripened into a eedate middle age. To-day he had no carefully prepared speech and he had no such audience or subject as he had back in 1896, when he faced the tem- porary maniacs who were in full sympathy with him. He made a cracking Bood speech, and once or twice he struck concert pitch and let out a bugle blast that promised a grand rally and a successful cherge under the.same old gallant leadership. JUST LIKE THE CHICAGO SHOW. But after it was all over it was evident, even to the most lunk-heude Spectator who sat on the high shelf and interrupted the speakers, that he hadn't effected even a semblance of a stampede. The whole show to-day wus ¥o much like Chicago that we had to rub our eyes and pinch ourselves to muxe was all washed clean and cool fo: toward the urens where William J. was about to be offered up as a blood sacrifice to the wild animals of. the Stock Exchange. The more we see of this town the better wo lke it as a cheerful and pleturesque background for a big spectacle of this kind, This morning ali the brick sidewalks were moderately swarming with what seemed to be happy picnic crowd, As we strolled along under the festoons of bunting we had to acknowledge ourselves pleased with many of the changes. from Chicas >.

All the marble entrances looked perfectly clean when we arrived yesterday, but they were being rubbed up again this morning. On my way to the Belvedere to get the morning war bulletins from the National Committee we ran into a brass band followed by a crowd of Demo- erate from Pennsylvania, I stood aside and watched these heroes go by, each man wearing on his hat one of those “win with Wilson” labels, I saluted them respectfully, A Pennsylvania Democrat has all the moral grandcur of @ Louisiana Republican, plus the credit accruing to one who does not ex- pect to hold office. * “*ON £0 CONVENTION” A TOUGHENING JOB. We found the usual hurly-burly of elbowing and jostling visitors all in and around the Helvedore, About the most fruitless occupation In the world fe trying to get any definite inspiration or reliable facts out of one of these hotel jams, #0 pansed up the Belvedere and kept on toward the conven- tion hall.

I suppose if @ man attended fifty-two While the galleries and the main floor were filling we had little spasms of ex- citement, here and there, as varions delegations trooped in with a good deal of pomp, each delegation convinced that {t was going to be the plot of drama.

There wasn't any hoorah of enthusiasm taking hold of th entire multitude, although there was a ful interest when Cardinal Gibbons, | with the police surrounding him and forcing the way, came down the long main aisle tn his red robes, When we got together last week in Chicago we had nothing to talk about except the Colonel, and to-day the crowd walting for the show to begin simply buzzed about Bryan and nothing else, He was not with the Nebraska crowd, The expectant galleries be- Heved that he was out in an anteroom practising the smile, polishing up the bald head and wating for his entrance music. When the stage was all set and the aisle cleared and the music playing he would make what 1s known in the! circus business as the grand entry, An @ matter of fact, Colonel had slipped in quietly seated himself behind the high in- closed pulpit in which were gathered Mr. Mack and some of the others sup- powed to be in charge. 1 Bt a good look at William J. » and Hie trademark smile had gone. frowning and worrled, just a little tired, man who was ready to go through. prayer by the Cardinal. sunshine filtered down over the massed He looked but very determined.
