Denver Silent Reception For Bryan Convention Bullets
Denver's convention scene showed little public excitement as bulletins from the Bryan Democratic gathering appeared across city bulletin boards. Reporters, passing heat and crowds, noted muted reactions in front of papers outlets while Nassau Street crowds ignored the long distance feeds and barroom diversions. The city dwellers paid scant attention to Bryan's event despite news being broadcast over AT&T lines.
