65367 DEMOCRATS HARMONIOUS. [continued from page 1.] streaming from bis face, bis collar was a soft white roll of llnen.bte voice was ?om to a frazzle and could not be heard 20 feet from where he Mood. AB he finished after speaking for one hour and forty minutes, the bands struck up a medley ot patriotic alrs: the stirring strains of ."Dixie" calling forth the wild cheers that never fall to follow the song no matter when or where rendered. "The delegates are invited to visit the exposition." said' Mr. Williams, and the clerk will read the invita tion." CAI.LINO ron nu Y AN. The last few words were lost In orles of "Bryan!" "Bryan!" that came swift and thick from different parts of the ball. Cheers mingled with the calls, and it was fully a minute before the voice of the clerk was able to rise above the tumult. Mr. Bryan remained quietly in his seat during the demonstration made by bis friends aud gave no out ward sign of his rea gai lion of thc applause that had greeted his name. Delegate Powers, of Michigan, was re cognized by Chairman Williams to re turn the thanks of the convention to the exposition otllcials for the courtesy shown, and made a brief speech of acknowledgement. The motion to accept the Invitation with which Mr. Powers concluded was adopted unanimously. Sergeants-ut-anns with bundles of exposltiion tickets were at once sent throughout the seats occupied by the delegates and alternates haudiug them to the chairman of the delegations. When the ticket passers had nearly finished their task the chairman an nounced that the roll of states would be called, each state as Its name was called to send up to the chairman's desk the names of ks committeeman In caucus. While the roll call was in progress the spectators, concluding that the interesting scenes of the convention were finished for the day streamed out by thousands. Tbe noise of their exit and the talking throughout the hall waa so great that the clerk's voice could be heard only with great dill!- j culty. The announcement of Mr. Bryan as a member of the resolutions committee from Nebraska, called forth a cheer from such of his friends as were able to hear the announce ment. Dav!? B. Hill's name as a member from New York, also brought a shout of applause. v.?r?j? Proceeding. Wm. J. Bryan was given an ovation when he entered tbe hall Just prior to the opening of the afternoon session of the convention on Thursday, lie was half way down the aisle when he was first rec gnized. There came a ter rino yell irom a group of delegates in the rear of the ball and instantly it was caught up by the crowd and thc cheers rolled up in a roar. Mr. Bryan passed Blowly down the aisle picking his way through the delegates who were massed in the aisle. Ile paid uo attention at first to the demonstra tion, but quietly took his seat. Ibe galleries joined in the cheering with terrific enthusiasm, bundled of tbe crowd standing up in their chairs and waving hats and handkerchiefs frati cally. The band struck up aud the friends of Mr. Bryan believing this to be an effort to smother their shouts, at once yelled louder than before. A man climbed to the chairman's table and began to waive his arms up and down, shouting unintelligibly. In a moment Mr. Williams caught sight of him and grabbing thc en thusiast's trousers hauled him down. A wild frenzy of yells followed the act of a Nebraska delegate who seized the Nebraska State sign and waived it high In the air. Delegates from Kentucky, North Dakota, Iowa, Missouri and Montana took the cue and catching up their State signs hastened with them to the Nebraska delegation wheie they waved them in a circle around t he Nebraska sign. Daniel C. Campau ol Michigan, a gold Democrat, did his best to lead the enthusiasm by rushing up the steps leading to the chairman's plat form and waiving his hat wildly. The Parker men at once sought to offset the Bryan demonstration by cheers on their side. The .nen of the south came to the front in Litis effort, and the Georgia delegation, who carry * blue banner inscribed, "Georgia Par ker delegation" every time they march into the hall, at once waved it high and started to the platform. An enthusiastic delegate from South Carolina caught the sign of bis State from its staff, tore up the steps and after biaudl.shing the red and white disk widly, shook it at the Bryan and Hearst men and then placed it Hat against the blue banner as though he was nailing the Hag of his country to a masthead. The Parker men came up swiftly, and before the South Carolina man had lowered his hand, the men from Arkansas. Ala- I bama and Pennsylvania were turning over chairs and pushing through' the M alBles on their way to his side. After j 1 Pennsylvania came Mississippi, New ' Jersey, Tennessee, Indiana, Louisiana, j i Texas, Connecticut and Virginia. The demonstration had resolved ii.-eli into ; ! a Parker outbreak more than a test! ' monlal to Bryan and it so remained i to the finish, which was 18 minutes { after Mr. Bryan entered the hall. I a COMMITTEE ON CKKOKNTIA LS. It was finally ascertained thal the ( report. Just at this instance. Mr. i Bryan arose in his place and began v making his way to the plat form. As 1 soon as this was observed, up went, the c convention again on its feet, and the I cheers arose with fresh vigor. When r Mr Bryan mounted the platform young I DeFord, one of the secretaries, got a 11 table next to the presiding officer and j 1 throwing both arms into the air shout ed and waved his arms frantically and another outburst of applause occured, but lt was of short duration. Mr. Bryan's object hi going to the platform was to present a minority report to that of the credentials committ ee. He Is a member of the committee by proxy bearing that of Delegate Caspar of Nebraska. When Mr. Bryan was fully on the platform the spectators In the galleries to the rear gave him a cheer. He turned around and made many bows. Mr. Head, chairman of the commu t?e on credentials, entered the hall and made his way to the platform, and read the report. The report de clared In favor of seating all the dele gates who were on the temporary roll call, with the exception of Alfred Orendorff, who was substituted for Duncan C. Best In the Twenty-first district of illinois. Mr. Head was heard In greater quiet than had exist ed up to the time he commenced to snead. No sign of approval or disap proval greeted the decisions cf the committee. He announced that a mi nority report had been submitted In the case ot the District ot Columbia and he understood one was to be sub mitted In the Illinois cases. A delegate from Vermont moved that the chairman order the galleries cleared unless better order was pre served. Chairman Williams at once de clared that he would do that exact tbing unless the people In the gal leries refrained from disturbing tbe convention. When Mr. Head moved the adop tion of the report Chairman Williams asked if there was a demand for a di vision on the question. Mr. Bryan en deavored to address the chair. Delegate Keys of California, how ever, made a louder demand and was recognized to move the seating of tbe contestants from tbe District of Co lumbia, fie was at once followed by Delegate Grady of New York, wbo made a vigorous protest against that part of the report relating to the Philippine Islands. Delegate Surto of tbe Philippine delegation requested to be heard. Chairman Williams ruled that be had no right to recognize bim. This ruling seemed to meet the approval of t'se conveution, as cries of "right," "right" were general. The galleries begau a fresh clamor and threats to clear them wet? awaiti made. The chaiiinan then put the question as to the adoption of the report of tbe committee ou credentials, with tbe exception of those parts on whiob a separate vote was requested. The report was adopted in this condition. A separate vote was then demand ed in the case of the District of Co lumbia and in the Illinois ease. Mr. Sehultels of the District of Co lumbia offered an amendment provid ibg that the contesting delegates from the District of Columbia be seated with a half vote to each. This was voted down. The report of the committee was adopted without further delay, and Chairman Williams turned to Mr. bryan and said: "The chair now recognizes Mr. Bryan in the matter of the contests from the State of Illinois." This was enough to start up tbe Bryan cheer again, but Mr. bryan at once beckoned for silence willi bis right hand, while be held bis minority report on the Illinois contest in bis left. In a moment be bad tbe cheering checked and read bis report. Tbe re port, after further review of tbe tes timony recommended that Hie con test?es be seated from the second, third, ninth, twelfth, fifteenth, six teenth, twenty-third and twenty-lift li congressional districts, joining with the majority in scut lug the delegates from the twenty-first district. Mr. Bryan concluded reading tbe report at 4.12, It having taken bim 35 minutes. During tbe latter part of tbe report be was frequently inter rupted hy cheers from tbe gallery. He concluded by asking that 1"> min utes on each side be allowed for tbe bearing of the cont est. IUI Y A N'S OPI'OKTUNITY. Word that Mr. Bryan would take this opportunity to make bis great ef fort before tbe convention had got abroad and the great audience rustled with expectation as the N'ebraskar aro.se and faced it. lu opening bis speech, Mr. Dry ar announced that be bad come to tb* conveution with tbe idea of bringing up any questions that could or wouir. create diversion. He was greeted bj cheers, and when be declared that hi boped and believed that tbe conven tien would select a ticket which cou!) be supported by a united Democracy the che eis were redoubled. An outburst of approving yell greeted bis announcement that tb convention in Illinois was conduotei by men who werj on a level willi trail robbsrs. Becoming intensely interested ii bis address, Mr. Bryan. Unding tba bis culls interferred with the fri movement ol' bis bands pulled Iben oil", and proceeded.

Mr. Bryan concluded, he wa greeted by an outburst of cheers. Mr. Bryan occupied 20 minutes am asked to 1 e given ten minutes to eon elude after Hie ot ber side bad beei beard. The cheerlm: that followci bis conclusion lasted .several minute and tue audience showed a dispositioi Lo become unruly. "I shall ask the police to attend ti persons pershing in the disturbance, declared Chairman Williams. Thei pointing his linger over lo the left, b demanded: "Otllcer, go over to tba West Virginia banner, and if tba man there floes not desist from bi disturbance lake bim out." Delegate Menzies of Indiana, member of the credentials committct ?ommittee on credentials was ready t was Mien recognized in opposition t bile minority report. Mr. Menzie was bitter at the outset. When li criticised Mr. Bryan for bis interfei pnce in Illinois affairs, there wer i.cis, bisses and applause intel mingled. Mr. Menzies shouted that bc wool ie heard, and the audience would hav o remain all the longer in "fbi wiat-box" if it. p insisted in disordei dr. Menzies concluded amid mingle ipplausc and cries of protest, lie ba ipoken just a quarter of an hour. Tin: chair then recognized Frank I ?uinn of Illinois, who was frequent! nterrupted by the galleries and Iber vere loud calls from tbe delegates t lave the galleries cleared. Ile d< lared himself a Democrat who bi icved in the right of the majority t nie, and one who did not call atiotbj >ennicrat a thief unless lie knew bil o be one. Ile was, bc said, deft ai ? limself in 1806, but did not for tim easoil arrogate lo himself the rigl o mix up in other people's quarrels a iver t be count ry. Ile. declared that Mr. Bryan ba ead to the convention us bis minorit eport the brief of one ol' the attn leys for the contestants. Mr. Quinn was SO frequently inte opted hy Hie galleries that dial rena iVilliams was forced to appeal lo tl onvention for quiet. Delegate Richardson of Alaba tn; Ising and addressing the chair, d dared that lt was evident that an o ?anized attempt was hoing made i oppress the facts in the case by pr renting Quinn from being beard ar .be chair again threatened to ba' galleries cleared. "How about gavel rule?" shouted 'ohe from Hie rt ar of the ball, alla ng to one of Mr. Bryan's sentences. "You want to know about gav ule? I'll tc 11 you about gavel rule eplied Quinn, before be could co lnue a disturbance started In tl lalcony just back of the alternan eats and one disturber was seized at jected by two city policemen. Mr. Bryan then arose to conclu? and was again given a warna welcome of cheers. Raising his band he made the request that the convention should not take his time. Immediately there was silence. When declared be bad been in tbe committee room at 3 o'clock in the morning and knew more about the de tails of the case than these who ac cused him of Ignorance, lie was cheer ed to the echo. Mr. Bryan spoke in his most earnest manner. Ile concluded with au ex presi?n of willingness for unity, ad ding: ''But God forbid that lt should be under a soiled banuer." A snappy outburst of applause fol lowed, but was not prolonged, the whole body, delegates and spectators showing plainly the wearines born of the intense heat and long session. A vote was then taken which resulted in i'>47 to 299 against thc minority re port. lt was exactly 0 o'clock when de mand was made by iii J chairman for the report of the committee on perm anent organization. Itepresmlativc Hugh Disait re of Arkansas, chairman of the committee, made the report. The mention of thc name of Champ Clark as permanent chairman was re ceived with applause and the report was unanimously adopted. Chairman Williams appointed Sen ator J. W. Bailey and Representative Burke Cockran of New York to escort Mr. Clark to the chair. With his hat in his hand, Temporary Chairman Williams presented Mr. Clark as permanent chairman and as Mr. Clark b iwcd his acknowledgment he was heartily welcomed. Mr. Clark at once plunged Into his speech. He was greeted with ap plause and given careful attention. The Third Day. When thc Democratic convention reassembled Friday it was with the hope by thc leaders that its work might be completed and a sine die ad journmcut taken Friday. There re mained yet tlic adoption of the plat form and nominations of candidates for President and Vice President. It was appreciated that this might re quire three sessions, running into the night. The program held out great inducements to spectacular oratory and stirring situations were promised in abundance, lt was expect d that Ltie report of the committee on resolu tions and the discussion incident would bring forward big orators, some who had not yet been heard. The resolu tions committee was in sessions all Thursday night. The feature ot' the parly hours ol' the day was the knock ing out of the gold plank by Bryan which had been put in the platform by the subcommittee. The exciting .contests dui lng the section of t he com mittee were the ta k of the morning. When the delegates rose Friday morn ing the lirst Inqury was as to what had the committee done, and it was learn ed that Bryan had scored the money plank and secured a mod ideation ol' the laritr plank. The exciting scenes which marked tihe closing of Thursday's session were Intensified and Interest in the conven tion and demand for tickets increased aver previous days. nu VAN'S O it KAT VICTOUY. At 4.40 o'c'ock Friday morning the liominittee on resolutions voted Hie k'old standard plank out of the Demo eratic platform by 2f> to 15. This was the third victory for Bryan during the all nigbtsesslon of tbe committee. He made two successful efforts, early in the evening, and secured modification of the tari li plank on two seperate votes. The main light was upon the propos ed'income tax plank, providing for an amendment to thc constitution to meet Hie adverse decision of the Su preme Court upon the Wilson law. It was upon this amendment and the i?old plank, the two being in conjunc tion, that bryan madehisstrong light, Williams of Mississippi lirst < l?ered the ncome tax amendmeut which imme liately was antagonized by former Senator Hill, who said that witli ihe plank New York could be carried ly the Democratic nominees. Williams withdrew his amendment, lasing that he was seeking harmony uni an adjustment of all dil?erences vith a view to succeeding on a Demo cratic plat toa m. Bryan ottered an income tax amend neill and spoke iu favor of it, asserting .bat, while voles might he loss among lie very rich, the Democratic party night to consi.ler ll e great mass of he people, who bear the burdens ol' axation and the expense of the gov r ii ment. Senator Dai.iel vigorously denounced (ryan's course and said bc was tired if hiing in the minority. Senators 5 uley and Tillman were willing to lehr lo ll bi's st ale mei il and thought t would be unwise to insist on Hie in ome tax amendment as to lo.->e New fork meant di feat. linley asked inanimous consent lo have I he, income ax and thc gold standard planks iropped, but Hill objected and a )< ng Is'.'.ussion followed. He said the gold >lauk was far more important and sked that the parly cease discussion nd au ree upon a platform in hann ny ^itb the views of the parly generally, lill tuged that if the gold plank was milted Hi., party would be in a false o.sition. Through no fault ol t he par y conditions bad changed and it I arl cen proved that the gold standard ras the solution of Hie question. Bryan replied at length to Hill and nsisted that, in view of thc past de land ions of the party, tbe gold plank iTould now ali?nale thousands ol Dem orad: voters. Thomas of Colorada ls i made a si long ai guim nt against lie gold plank. After further discussion the gold lank was defeated. After a brief recess, during which he members refreshed themselves .alli c.lite at a nearby restaurant, '.ryan got thc Hour and presented in moally a financial plank, intended s a substitute for t he gold plank. The committee then t. iok up the rust plank, and this was t he subject f considerable discussion. Biyan of sred an amendment, declaring in peeilie terms for prosecuti ni ol the rushs and outlining the manner in diich it should lu; done. This was voled in by 23 to 20. The currency plank c tiered by I'ry n was referred to the subcommittee dth authority to draft a financial lank for submission to the full com litlee. Later Hie platform was ubmltted to the convention and dopted unanimously. Thu nomina len ol' candidates was then in order, .ii account of this part of the conven lon work will be found in another aturan. Throe Drowned. Owing to heavy rains the house of ass Woods, a park policeman, in riverside park, Kan., was washed way and Mrs. Woods and her two hildren drowned. PARKER AND DAV/lS. [continued from page l.JJ forts were made to still the tdemon Btratlon. A megaphoue shout near the platform was begun for "Karker," "Parker," "Alton B. Parkert" how ever, and things again broke livise. The demonstration lasted 2fj> min utes. The Parker picture was carried from the platform and placed neari New York's position in tho hall. 1^ was soon taken down but just the Instant it was lowered, the California delega tion displayed a Hearst picture^ cnly foran instant, but it was long enough for his following among tbe delegates to catch sight t f it and a rising shout went up. It kindled agiin the dying demonstration for Parker. \ "We Won't Go Home Till Morning," 'played the band and when the air was con cluded cmiet was once more restored In the threat hall. "Arkansas," shouted the clerk, proseedlng with tbe ca'l of States at the chair's direction. Arkansas yields to Tennessee, an swered the chairman of the delega tion. Senator Carma^k of that State was recognized and at once took tho plat form and began a speech in second of the nominal iou of Judge Parker. IIKAUST'S NAME rilKSENTKO. Mr. Delmas' address, which closed with the name of "William Randolph lleartst" was the signal for cheers which, while enthusiastic, were much less in volume than those following the mention of Parker's name. A seven-foot portrait picture of Hearst was taken to the platform, auotber of similar s'za was raised In the gallery back of the platform, ?bile numerous smaller portraits were shown on long poles raised from among the delega tions. The parade around the ball, which bad been carried on during the pre ceding demonstration, was quickly un dertaken, California leading olT and Arizona, Nevada, South Dakota, Washington and Wyoming, joirrny in. The ban nor of the Illinois delega tion was carried into the lino but thc majority of the delegation did not fol low lt. The galleries joined lustily iti the Hearst applause, making per haps a stronger demonstration than bad been made for Parker. In marching around the 1 all man) of the Hearst enthusiasms stopped t< shake hands with Mr. llrayan, who re malncd standing during t he early pari of the demonstration. After a seven lit of coughing, however, Mr. Hryat took ins seat. The band, nothing, i not impartial, played for Hearst, "America," and followed it up witl "Hixie," as it had done fir I'arker and the result was the same, with Ult exception that the Hearst people di: not attempt to sing. A red beared enthusiast Ina grui suit was lifted up on the shoulders o several tren to the lef? of the hpeak er's platform, and cheered wildly fo Hearst, but he was soon compelled nt climb down for bis bright-colored hail was too conspicuous a target for tie multitude of paper wads that aun? it from all sides. Water was thrc a him, and in a few minutes he : ^m bled desperately for release. et he reached the lloor, be rein 4 d ' That water felt good," but 1 *"e dined to give his name. *?\ A second gentleman with red \ v ?J eis mounted a chair and attempter^ speech. He, too, was pelted do.? and a policeman tcok him to tb" outerdarknoss. AXOTIIl-Mt WOMAN. Meantime the demonstration for th editor-candidate went on, rising an falling in degree. Fully a dozen time the line completed the circuit, an then the California banner was cai ried up to the speaker's platform an the other States mas lcd their emblen at the foot of the steps. A youn woman ros,? up in section Land wave a small Hag. She brought to her side ?o otho people who joined in her tribute, ant for a time, she was the heart of tb sturm centre. When she sat dow the end began to core, 30 minuit after the first cheering began. When a h ilf hour had clap-erl. Set alor Hailey of Texas took the presh lng ollleer'ss chair, and begau rappln for order, but ll was some time befoi order could be had. Many of the rle egates and others began to hiss in di: approval hut ibis only served to spt on thc Hearst rooters and a hattie < sound ensued; "The Slate of Colorado," called Lb cleric. The response was immedial and Thomas O'Donnel began a spcee seconding the nomination of .liuljj Parker. The height ol exbaustit prevailed as Mr. O'Donnell proceedet and appproval of his utterances wi confined to his hand lapping. When Mr. O'Donnell referred i complimentary terms i i "tho e,re; leader of the past two campaigns, there was a demonstration in whlc the na no ol Bryan was heard abo' t be uproar. He invited the "prodigal who h; been feeding on husks" back into tl fold, for he said, "we need till kim of Democrats in this campaign." ll mention of Parker's name was greet? with shouts and applaused. 'Col rado (>iit:e more Joins hands with Ne York." ho concluded, "and the eel comes hack 'Parker, popular righ and victory!' " After tl c applause which follow! O' Donnell's conclus!* >n, Conneticut w called and Walter S. Cummings se untied the nomination of Parker. Many of the spectators bogati lea lng the door and galleries and tl tramp of their foot was a new distur he, element. L. Irving Handy Delaware followed Mr. Ou m tn i nfl ami nominated .lodge George Gra He began by saying: "Deleware e ivers to you her noblet bra vt st and best." and a cheer wc up leel by the Delaware delegation. Ilefore Mr. Handy had closed t disturbance became so pronounc that he closed amid brief cheering, lb arst saying: "Tho Democracy of Florida desli the nomination of Hearst, because t paramount issue today is the tri; piostion, anti William K. Hearst thc most persistent and aggressive c poncnt of the trusts and all the hai ships and evils attendant upon the oppressions Of thc people. The 1 mt urary of Florida desires the non nation of'Hearst, because wo belle that he ls tho only man who can car into the Denn eratic column tho ph lal States of Now York, illinois a Indiana, which arc essential to Den initie, sue ess, and Democratic snoot ian only rescue the south from t lepradation of [loosevoltlsra and i ;roism. We believe that Hearst, c md will carry New York, If this ci mention makes him the standard be ir of the Democratic party." Wroses Might of Georgia follow .sith a clear ringing speech second i die norulnaPon of I'arker that h iheir attention closely. When Mr. Wright meutloned Par ker's Dame a shout greeted it. The, crowd thought that was the conclu^ sion of the speech, and when he .s"^ tlnued the irreverent in the gall/'v^ cried "cut it out," and Jneffectuahy tried to drown him out. ll?s gained a round of applause when hr finished. When Illinois was called Clarence Darrow seconded Hearst, at whose name the galleries vented their enthu siasm. Wheubesald: "It seems to be fate that the men who once scut tled the Democratic ship shall ouce more be p'ased in power," there were cheers and hisses. "The Democracy of Jefferson; the Democracy of Bryan," was a phrase from Mr. Darrow, which struck the convention. After the shout which followed, a voice from the gallery rang out "Three cheers for Bryan." The cheers were given with a will. Mr. Darrow's speech enlivened tlie wearying crowd. Ho was followed by W. J. Kern of indiana who seconded Judge Parker's Domination. A KOW IN IOWA. Mr. Sara D. Wright of Iowa caught tlie convention when he declared, 'T am proud of Hie fact tint the great party to which 1 belong ordinarily be lieves in free speech." Chairman Weaver, wheo Mr. Wright had con cluded, gained recognition f ir Mr. Rinmart, who, on behalf of tile Stile of iowa, seconded Hearst's Domina tion. "The gentleman who just l?ft the olatform," said Mr. Rinehart, "cast aspersions upon the delegation from iowa. 1 desire to cast the aspersion back into his teeth." Mr. Rinehart denied for hmiself and all other members of the Iowa delegation that any m nicy had been received by them bo induce them to cast their vote for any candidate. A sequel followed quickly, the dele gation meeting and voting to ut .s ?at Wright as thc Iowa member nf the committee to notify the presidential noni hire. In the words of one of the delegation the action was taken be cause of the "imputation cast upon thc delegation" by Wright. When Kansas was calle i .1. <!. .John son seconded the Hearst nom i nat'on and was followed by David Overmeyer of Kansas, who placed Gen. Nelsen A. Miles in nomination. Vigorous applause followed Mr. Overmeyer's mention of the name of (Jen. Miles, but when he concluded his address, after naming his candidate, he was frequently interrupted by the galleries, and the applause at the con clusion of his remarks w.is shortlived. Delegate Rosin of Missouri then in terpis:d a motion to limit seconding speeches to one minute, but I), ck c-y cf Missouri arid Grady of New York objecting, the limit was plac.d at four minutes. .1. W. orr of Kansas thereupon briefly seconded Parker's nomination, as did Thomas H. ita 1 of Texas. Louisiana seconded the noni natlcn of Parker by a simple announcement. Maine gave way to M issi.uri and Champ Clark placed in nomination Senator Francis M. Cock rel I of Mis souri for the presidency. * Parker is Chosen When tlie ncniination closed at half past live o'clock Saturday morning after an all night session, Judge Parker was nominated for President nf the United States by the convention lu i.hort ordor. There was but one roll all, and so decisive was the result 'hat those States which had voted against Parker's nomination changed to him, thus making his nomination unanimous. The scene was dramatic hi the r x treme. The darkness witnessed the gathering of the Democratic hosts, white broad daylight saw the close. The convention wai in .session from 8 o'clock Fi ?day night till nearly 0 o'clock Saturday morning, in that time eight names were presented to the convention, nominating and se conding speeches were innumerable and as the dawn appeared it be came necessary to limit the speech s to four minutes each. An extension was made in the case of W illiam .1. Bryan, who in one of the most drama tlc situations ever witnessed in a polit ical gathering, addressed the conven tion and concluded by seconding the nomination of Senator Francis M. Dockrell, the favorite candidate from Missouri. 11 r> a 11 received his third great ova tion accorded during thc convention. His sp edi was an Impassioned appeal lo the delegates Lo give the party a candidate who had voted the D ino jratic ticket in 1800 and 1900. ile spoke in behalf of the Nebraska dele gation, which he said had no candi date to present or favor to ask, but wanted a candidate whose nomination would not be a triumph of one faction aver another. Ile suggested He.ir.-t if Lhe convention thought best, then Pattison of Pennsylvania and li nally Heated a surprise by declaring for Jock rel 1. One of the features of the long ses don was the beautiful tribute paid senator Cockrell when his name was Maced in nomination by Champ Clark. There was a spontaneous outburst, and .he deli gates, wearied by thc long ?ession and exhaii-ted by their labors, ndulged in the demonstration, that asled half an hour. The waving of lags in the galleries and by the dele rates made the scene impressive. The enthusiasm evidently convert id Bryan to tia; idea that Cock rel l's ihances for the nomination were good, md s ion aft::r gaining thc ilo.ir be nade an electrifying effort for the intl-Parker forces to rally. The con tention Oftlctalsand police were power ess t ) c intro! the crowd, as a seem ngly hypnotic sp ll was cst over the invention by his speech, but in the .ml the Parker forces were unshaken. The ballot for presid? nt gave Par ier Hoe" votes Of tho 007 needed, and lefore the result could be announced, dalio, Nevada, Washington and otb :rs made changes to the Parker col imo. Governor 1). ckery, of Missouri, noved to make tho nomination uoaui DOUS, and it was carried amid Increas ng cheers. The result of the ballot vas never officially announced, and it s not likely it ever will be. DAVIS KO? Vlei; I'RESIOENT. After nominating the presidential and ida te the convention adjourned at even o'clock Saturday morning to ncet at hall-past live o'clock bu nomi late a vice-presidential candidate, al vhich hour tlc- convention was called o order.

Whore applause . was given, there was no disposition to prolong it. Senator Daniel con cluded at 11:17. His speech was re ceived with hearty applause. Vociferous cries of "ipi s,ion, ques tion, vote,"' followed, but the chair ri cognized Charle, S. Hamlin, of Mas sachusetts, who urged the sanding of the telegram to Judge Parker. Mr. Hamlin said the American people ad mired a brave niau and Judge Parker would be so regarded hereafter by the American peop'e. As Mr. Il milln finished it was evi dent that tue delegates wjre bent ly sick of listening t u speeches and rapid ly hising temper over the constant succession til speakers who mounted the platform and clamored fiercely for a vote, but Chairman Clark, through his promise that every man should have a fair show, recognized Senator Carmack, of Tennessee. The speaker declared that Mr. Bryan had said that the nomination of Judge Parker would be declaration enough on the money plank. "'Mr. Chairman," said Mr. Bryan, rising hastily, "1 beg tho gentleman's pardon, but 1 never said thal." John S. Williams supported Mr. Bryan lu his statement an 1 Senator Carmack accepted the c irrection. The senator look occasion to deny j that he had ever received a message I from Judge Parker and the chair recognized Mr. Bryan who presentid an amendment I ?the. reply to Judge Parker as follows: "Mutas you will, If elected be called upon ti act upai certain phases on Hie money question, we would like to know whether you favor reducing the volume of silver dollars; wheth ir you favor an asset currency and brandi national hanks; whether you pilfer national bank currency to Unite! Stales note.-." Mr. Bryan then pr ceeded to an swer some of the statements made by thoss who had lollowe.l his tirst ad dress. Great a ?.p?aos i followed his assertion that lack of harmony in the party could not be laid at his door. Mr. Bryan woke the galleries to enthusiasm when he declared that he had ex pres sod a willingness to support a gold standard mau to build up tur in iiiy hi the party and again when he declared that he believed the adoption of the gold standard would defeat the party in the Impending campaign. There was on'y two ways out of the difficulty into which the action of Judge Parker hal plunged tho party. Jue was to amend tho message In the manner he had suggested and the other was to amend the platform by tho Insertion of a gold plank. Loan ing far over the railing in front of thc platform he sho.ik nls hand at tho New York delegation and said: "1 will agree to accept Senator Car mack's plank. Will that satisfy the friends o! Judge Parker?" lt was 12:10 when Mr. Bryan con clude! and Representative John Sharp Williams ro.'o. Ile plunged without preface into a scathing arraignment of Mr. Bryan. Turning from time to time he faced Mr. Bryan, who sat with immoiiile countenance and fanned himself. His voice trembling, Mr. Williams declared that Mr. Bryan had presented the spectacle of a man pleading for harmony when in all this great convention his bad been the only voice of discord. The amend ments to the Parker telegram, he characterized as "a lot of foolish ques tions." He spoke satirically with biting humor and great earnetness. Cries of "question, q test ion," came so fast that confusion reigned for a ?cw minutes. During the confusion ' an elf ?rt was made bo make au ad i iiirnment motion. This was ruled ; out of order. I Mr. Dry.ui sprang to Iiis feet and deda ed that lils delegation was go h'g to support the candidate that New York wauled for vice president and il it would conduce to harmony he would withdraw his amendment to j the reply. "I am going to withdraw ; this amendment," said Mr. Bryau, j "our delegation will vote for the i candidate for vice presidency that New York wmits. Weare not going to do one thing to mar the harmony of the convention." ' A roar of applause followed the au I nouncement. After some debate a roll call was ordered on tho question of adoption of the Williams reply to Judge Park r's mess lg? to Mr. Shee han. As the roll cali proceeded it was evi dent th it the motion tosend the mes sige to Judge Parker would be car ried by an overwhelming majority. The result was announced to be 774 ayes, 181 noes, aid the message was order.tl sent by the convention. Bryan's Piral Callers.
