streaming from bis face, bis collar was
a soft white roll of liDen,hfs voice was
worn to a frazzle and could not be
heard 20 feet from where he stood.
As he finished after speaking for one
hour and forty minutes, the bands
struck up a medley of patriotic airs,
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." siid Mr. Williams,
and the clerk will read the invitation."
CALLING KOIt HKYAN.
The last few words were lost In
cries of "Bryan!" "Bryan!" that
came swift and thick fr<m different
parts of tiro hall.
Cheers mingled with tiie calls, and
It was fully a minute before tiro voice
of the clerk was able to rise above the
tumult. Mr. Bryan remained quietly
in his seat during tire demonstration
made by ills friends and gave no cutward
sign of his recognition of the
applause that had greeted tils name.
Delegate I'owers, of Michigan, was recognized
by Chairman Williams to return
the thanks of the convention to
the exposition officials for the courtesy
shown, and made a brief speech of
acknowledgement.
The motion to accept t Ire invitation
with which Mr. Bowers concluded was
adonted unanimouslv.
Sergeanlsat arms with bundles of
exposition tickets wore at once sent
throughout, lite scats occupied by the
deb Kates and alternates haudlng them
to the chairman of the delegations.
When the ticket passers had nearly
finished their task the chairman announced
that the roll of states would
be called, each state as its name was
called to send up bo the chairman's
desk the names of its 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. The noise of their exit
and the talking throughout the hall
was so great that the clerk's voice
could he heard only with great difficulty.
The announcement of Mr.
Hryun us a member of the resolutions
committee from Nebraska, called
forth a cheer from such of his friends
as were able to hear the announcement.
David It. IIill's name as a
member from New York, also brought
a shout of applause.
Second l>?yn Proceedings.
Wm. J. Itryan was given an ovation
when he entered the hall Just prior to
the opening of the afternoon session of

half way down the aisle when lie was
tirhl recognized. There came a terrltlc
yell trom a group of delegates in
the rear of the hall and instantly it
was caught up by the crowd and the
cheers rolled up In a roar. Mr. Bryan
passed slowly down the aisle picking
his way through the delegates who
were massed in the aisle. lie paid no
attention at lirst to the demonstra-1
tion, but quietly took his seat. '1 he
galleries joined in the cheering with
terrilic enthusiasm, hundred of the
crowd standing up in their chairs and
waving hats and handkerchiefs frati
eally. The band struck up and the
friends of Mr. Bryan believing this to
be an elTort to smother their shouts,
at (nice yelled louder than before.
A man climbed to the chairman's
table and began to waive tils arms up
and down, shouting unintelligibly.
In a moment Mr. Williams caught
sight of him and grabbing the enthusiast's
trousers hauled him down.
A wild frenzy of yells followed the
act of a Nebraska delegate who seized
the Nebraska Slate 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 where they waved them In
a circle around the Nebraska sign.
Daniel (J. Campau of Mlchigun, a
gold Democrat, did his be-t to lead
the enthusiasm by rushing up the
steps leading to the chairman's platform
and waiving his hat wildly.
. The Parker men at once sought to
offset the Bryan demonstration bycheers
on their side. The men of the
south came to the front in this etlort,
and the Georgia delegation, who carry
a blue banner inscribed, "Georgia Parker
delegation" every time they march
into the hall, at once waved it high
and started to the platfonn.
An enthusiastic delegate from
South Carolina caught the s'gn of his
State from its staff, tore up the steps
and after brandishing the red and
white disk widly, shook It at the
Bryan and Hearst men and then
placed it flat against the blue tanner
as though he was nailing the tlag of
his country to a mast he ad. The Parker
men came up swiftly, and before the
South Carolina man had lowered his
hand, the men from Arkansas, Ala
' bama and Pennsylvania wore turning
over chairs and pushing through the
aisles on their way to his side. After
Pennsylvania came Mississippi, New
Jersey, Tennessee, Indiana, Louisiana,
Texas, Connecticut and Virginia. The
demonstration had resolved itself into
a Parker outbreak more than a testimonial
to Bryan and it so remained
to the tinlsh, which was 18 minutes
, after Mr. lityan entered the hall.
k COMMITTKK ON CKKDKNTIAI.S.
It was finally ascertained that the
report. Just at this instance, Mr.
Bryan arose in his place and began
making his way to the platform. As
soon as this was observed, up went the
convention again on its feet, and the
cheers arose with fresh vigor. When
Mr Bryan mounted the platform young
l)i Kurd, one of the secretaries, got a
table'next to the presiding i,Ulcer and
throwing both arms into the air shouted
and waved his arms frantically and
ai other outburst of applause ocoured,
but )t was of short duration. Mr.
Bryan's object In going to the platform
\ was to present a minority report to
that of the credentials committee. 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,
lie turned around and made many
bows.
Mr. Head, chairman of the committee
on credentials, entered the hall
and made his way to the platform,
and read the report. The report declaredJn,favor
of seating all the delegated
who were on the temporary roll
k call, with the exception of Alfred
| Orendorff, who was substituted for
^ Duncan C. Best in the Twenty-flrst
f district of Illinois. Mr. nead was
heard In greater quiet than had existed
up to the time he commenced to
i spead. No sign of approval or disapk
proval gr<?Ud the decisions of the
commitU^^^announccd that a mlllll^k
norlty^^^^Bd been submitted..In
aucThe understood one was to be sub- o
mltted In tbe Illinois cases. t
A delegate from Vermout moved l
that tbe chairman order the galleries v
cleared unless better order was preserved.
Chairman Williams at ouco de- c
clared that he would do that exact t
thing unless the people in the gal- t
lerles refrained from disturbing the c
convention. e
When Mr. Head moved the adoption
of the report Chairmau Williams i
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- i
ever, made a louder demand and was
recognized to move the seating of the 1
contestants from the District of Co- 1
lumbla. lie was at once followed by j
Delegate Grady of New York, who I
made a vigorous protest against that 1
part of the report relating to the I
Philippine Islands. I
Delegate Surto of the Philippine
delegation requested to be heard. 1
Chairman Williams ruled that he I
had 110 right to recognize him. This 1
ruling seemed to meet the approval ]
of the convention, as cries of "right," <
"right" were general.
The galleries began a fredi clamor (
and threats to clear them were again <
made. 1
The chairman then put the question
as to the adoption of the report of the 1
committee on credentials, with the I
exception of those parts on which a 1
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- 1
lumbla and in the Illinois case. 1
Mr. Schulteis of the District of (Columbia
offered an amendment provid\i\Lf
that t /?nntnoHn<* /l/\l,?....f
'PS w?i(?u HIV VX'Ui^OtiUK UUlC^(llt*n I1UIIJ I
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 recogni/.es Mr.
Bryan In the matter of the contests
from the State of Illinois."
This was enough to start ud the
Bryan cheer again, but Mr. Bryan at
once beckoned fur silence with Ills
right hand, while he held his minorit y
report on the Illinois contest in his
left.
In a moment he had the cheering
checked and read his report. The report,
after further review of the tistimony
recommended that the contestees
be seated from the second,
third, ninth, twelfth, fifteenth, sixteenth,
twenty-third and twenty-lift h
congressional districts, joining with
the majority In seating the delegates
from the twenty-tirst district.
Mr. Bryan concluded reading the
report at 4.12, it having taken him
minutes. During the latter part of
the report he was frequently interrupted
by cheers from the gallery,
lie concluded by asking that l"> minutes
on eacli side t>e allowed for the
hearing of the contest.

Word that Mr. Bryan would take
this opportunity to make his great effort
before the convention had got
abroad and tbe great audience rustled
with expectation us the Nebraskan
aroM? and fanrd il.
In opening his speech, Mr. Bryan (
announced that lie had come tot lie
convention with the idea of bringing
up any *iu stions that could or would *
create diversion, lie was greeted iiy |
cheers, and when he declared that lie *
hoped and believed that the couven- i
li< 11 would select a ticket which could ;
be supported by a united Democracy, i
the cheers were redoubled. i
An outburst of approving yells *
greeted his announcement that the
convention in Illinois was conducted
by men who were 011 a level with train *
robbers. 1
Becoming internely interested In 1
ills address, Mr. Bryan, finding that ]
ills cuffs interferred witli the free
movement of his hands pulled them |
off, and proceeded. 1
lie declared that two years ago,
John l\ Hopkins had pursued a course l
c: ntrary to that followed in the 1111- <
nois convention, and did nut dare to 1
follow precedent this time, besides lie 1
would have lie en repudiated, if lie had 1
done so.
As. Mr. Bryan concluded, he was ?
greeted by an outburst of cheers. {
Mr. Bryan occupied 20 minutes and *
asked to be given ten minutes to con- <
elude after the other side had been
heard. The cheering that followed 1
ills conclusion lasted several minutes 1
and theaudiencj showed a disposition t
to become unruly. <
"I shall ask the police to attend to I
persons persiting in the disturbance," I
declared Chairman Williams. Then (
pointing his linger over to the left, lie
demanded: "Officer, go over to that ]
West Virginia banner, and if that (
man there does not desist from his I
disturbance take him out." <
Delegate Men/.ics of Indiana, a i
member of the credentials committee, <
committee on credentials was ready to
was then recognized In opposition to 1
the minority report. Mr. Men/.ics |
was hitter at the outset. When he *
criticised Mr. Bryan for his interfer- <
ence in Illinois affairs, there were 1
h< ot.s, hisses and applause inter- j
mingled. i
Mr. Menzies shouted that he would '
be heard, and the audience would have
to remain all the longer in "this <
sweat-box" If It persisted In disorder, j
Mr. Menzies concluded amid mingled i
applause and cries of protest. He had I
spoken just a quarter of an hour.
The chair then recognized Frank H.
Quinn of Illinois, who was frequently i
Interrupted by the naileries and there <
were loud calls from -the delegates to '
have the galleries cleared. He de- <
clared himself a Democrat who be- i
lieved in the right of the majority to i
rule, and one who did not call another
Democrat a thief unless Ire knew him |
to be one. He was, he said, defeated
himself in 189(5, but did not for that
reason arrogate to himself the right
to mix up in other people's quarrels all
over tiro country.
He declared tlrat Mr. Bryan had j
read to the convention as iris minority
report the brief of one of the attorneys
for the contestants. i
Mr. Quinn was so frequently Interrupted
by the galleries that Chairman i
Williams was forced to appeal to the
convention for quiet.
Delegate Richardson of Alabama,
rising and addressing the clrair, declared
that it was evident tlrat an or- i
ganized attempt was being made to
suppress the facts in the case by preventing
Quinn from being heard and
the chair again threatened to have i
galleries cleared. i
"IIow about gavel rule?" shouted a
voice from the rear of the hall, alluding
to one of Mr. Bryan's sentences. i
"You want to know about gavel (
rule? I'll tell you about gavel rule,"
replied Quinn. Before he could continue
a disturbance,' started in the
.balcony just baok of the alternates' <
seats and one disturber was seized and
ejected by two city policemen. i
Mr. Bryan then arose to conclude <
?At?
f cheers. Raising his band he made
he request that the convention should
tot take his time. Immediately there
vas silence.
When declared he had bee.i In the 1
ommittee room at 3 o'clock in the fi
norning and knew more about thede- \
alls of the cai-e than thrse who accused
him of Ignorance, he was cheer- *
id to the echo.
Mr. liryanspoke In Ids most earnest '
nanner. He concluded with an exjresloo
of willingness for unity, ad 1
ling:
1 Hut Ood forbid that It should be f
mder a soiled banner."
A snappy outburst of applause fob '
owed, but was not prolonged, the 1
whole body, delegates and spectators
>howlng plainly the weariness born of
die Intense heat and long session. A
vote was then taken which resulted 1
n U47 to 299 against the minority report.
It was exactly 0 o'clock when de- 1
maud was made by the chairman for

The Third Day. '
When the Democratic convention j j
easscmhled Friday It was with the
lope by the leaders that Its work 1
night ho completed and a sine die ad i'
ournment taken Friday. There renalned

or President and Vice President. It
was appreciated that this might relulre
tliree sessions, running Into tlie
tight. The program held out great
nduccments to spectacular orut >ry
tnd stirring situations were promised
n abundance. It was expect d that
die report of the committee on resolu- (
dons and the discussion Incident would :
iring forward big orators, some who
lad not yet been heard. The resolu- '
dons committee was in sessions all
Thursday night. The feature of the
?aily hours of the day was the knock- 1
ng out of the gold plank by Pryan
>vhich had been put in the platform
ly the subc< mmittee. The exciting '
oritests during the section of the com- 1
n it tee were the la k of the morning.
When the delegates rose Friday tnornng
the tirst inqury was as to what bad
the committee done,.and it was learn- 1
id that Pryan had scored the money
plank and secured a modification of the
lariif plank.
The exciting scenes which marked
tlie closing of Thursday's sett ion were
intensified and interest in theomven
don and demand for tickets increased
3ver previous days.
lUlVAN'S UKKAT VICTORY.
At 4.40 o'clock Friday morning the
committee on resolutions voted Hie
*old standard plank cut of the Demo
eratic platform by 25 to 15. This was
the third victory for Pryan during tlie
ill nightsession of the committee. lie
made two successful elTorts, early in
the evening, and secured modification
af the tarllT plank on two seperatc
votes.
The main tight was upon the proposjd'lncome
tax plank, providing for an
Amendment to the constitution to
meet the adverse decision of the .Supreme
Court upon the Wilson lav. it
was upon this amendment and the
jjold plank, the two being in conjunction,
that Bryan made ids strong light,
Williams of Mississippi tirst c lYered the
income tax amendment which immediately
was antagonized by former
Senator Hill, who said that with
the plank New York could be carried
ay the Democratic nomtntes.
Williams withdrew his amendment,
laying that lie was seeking harmony
ind an adjustment of all differences
with a view to succeeding on a Democratic
platfoam.
Bryan offered an Income tax amendment
and spoke in favor of it, asserting '
jbat, while votes might be loss among '
the very rich, the Democratic party 1
juglit to consider the great mass of
he people, who bear the burdens of
.axatlon and the expense of the gov- '
jrnment.
Senator Daniel vigorously denounced
Bryan's course and said he was tired
if being in the minority. Senators '
Bailey and Tillman were willing to
defer to Hill's statement, and thought
it would be unwise to insist on the in- 1
come tax amendment as to lose New
York meant defeat. Bailey asked
ananimous consent to have the income
Lax and the gold standard p'anKs
dropped, but Hill objected and a leng
discmsU n followed, lie said the gold
plank was far more important and
asked that the party, cease discussion
and agree upon a platform in harmony
witli the views of the parly generally.
Hill uiged that if the gold plank was
amltted the Dartv would ho in a f?i??
position. Through no fault of the party
conditions had changed and it bad
been proved that the gold standard
was the solution of the question.
Bryan replied at length to Hill and
Insisted that, in view of the past declarations
of the party, the gold plank
would now alienate thousands of Democratic
voters. Thomas of Colorada
also made a strong argument against
Die gold plank.
After further discussion the gold
plank was defeated.
After a brief recess, during which
Die members refreshed themselves
with coffee at a nearby restaurant.
Bryan got the floor and presented in
formally a financial plank, Intended
as a substitute for the gold plank.
The committee then took up the
trust plank, and this was the subject
of considerable discussion. Bryan offered
an amendment, declaring in
specific terms for prosecution of the
trusts and outlining the manner in
which it should be done.
This was voted in by 2.1 to 20. 1
The currency plank offered by Bry- 1
an was referred to the subcommittee
with authority to draft a financial
plank for submission to the full committee.
Later the platform was
submitted to the convt ntlon and
adopted unanimously. The nomination
of candidates was then in order. 1
An account of this part of the conven- 1
tion work will be found in another 1
column. I
Throe Drowned.
Owing to heavy rains the house of
Oass Woods, a park policeman, in
Riverside park, Kan., was washed
away and Mrs. Woods and her two
children drowned.

brts were made to still the demon- (
itration. A megaphone shout near
die platform was begun for "Parker,"
'Parker," "Alton B. Parker," however,
and thiugs again broke loose.
The demonstration lasted 25 ruinJtes.
The Parker picture was carried f'om
die platform and placed near New
York's position In tlie hall. It was
>oou taken down but just the Instant
it was lowered, the California delegablon
displayed a Hearst picture, only
ror an Instant, but It was long enough
for his following among the delegates
lo catch sight < f It and a rising sir ut
went up. It kindled again the dying
demonstration for Parker. "We
Won't Go Home Till Morning," played
the hand and when the air was coneluded
quiet was once more restored
in the great hall.
"Arkansas," shouted the clerk,
proceeding with the ca'l of States at
Hip chair's direction.
Arkansas yields to Tennessee, answered
the chairman of the delegation.
Senator Car mack of that State was
recognized and at once took the platform
and began a speech in second of
the nomination of Judge Parker.
IIKAHST'S NAMK I'll KSKNTKl).
Mr. Dolmas' address, whi h closed
with the name of "William Kandolph
lleartst" was the signal for cheers
which, while enthus as tic, were much
loss in volume than those following
the mention of Parker's name. A
ioven-fool portrait picture of Hearst
was taken to the platform, another of
similar s'/.e was raised In the gallery
hack of the platform, while numerous
smaller portraits were shown on long
poles raised from among the delega
Hons.
The parade around the hall, which
had been carried on during the preceding
demonstration, was quickly undertaken,
California leading off and
Arizona, Nevada, South Dakota,
Washington and Wyoming, Join'ng
in. The banner of the Illinois delegation
was carried into the line but the
majority of the delegation did not follow
It. The gallerlis Joined lustily
in the Hearst applause, making perhaps
a stronger demonstrat on than
had teen made for Parker.
In marching around the hall many
f the Hearst enthusiasts stopped to
shake hands with Mr. Itrayan, who remained
standing during the early part
jf the demonstration. After a severe
lit of coughing, however, Mr. Hryan
took Ids scat. The band, nothing, If
not Impaitiil, played for Hearst,
"America," and followed it up with
"Dixie,"as it had done for Parker,
and the result was the same, with the
exception that the Hearst people did
not attempt to sing.
A red-headed enthusiast in a gray
suit was lifted up on the shoulders of
several men to the left of the speaker's
platform, and cheered wildly for
Hearst, but he was soon compelled to
climb down for his bright-colored hair
was to ) conspicuous a target for the
multitude of paper wads that came in
from all sides. Water was thrown at
him, and in a few minutes he scrambled
despeiately for release. When
lie reached the iloor, he rematked,
"That water felt good," but he declined
to give his name.
A second gentleman with red whiskers
mounted a chair and attempted a
speech, lie, too, was pelted down
and a policeman took him to the
outerdarkness.
ANOTJIKK WOMAN.
Meantime the demonstration for the
editor-candidate went on, rising and
falling in degree. Fully a dozen times
the line completed the circuit, and
then the California banner was carried
up to the speaker's platform and
the other States massed their emblems
at the foot of the steps. A young
woman r?sJ up in section L and waved
a small Hag.
She brought to her side 50 other
pet pie who jo'ned in her tribute, and,
for a time, she was the heart of the
storm centre. When she sat down
the end began to come, JO minutes
after the first cheering began.
When a half hour had elap ed, Senator
Hatley of Texas took the presiding
oilicer'ss chair, and began rapping
for order, but It was some time before
order could be had. Many of the delegates
and others began to hiss in disapproval
but this only served to spur
on the Hearst rcoters and a battle of
sound ensued.
"The Stale of Colorado," called the
clerk. The response was immediate
and Thomas O'Donnel began a speech
seconding the nomination of Judge
Parker. The height of exhaustion
prevailed as Mr. O'Donnell proceeded,
and appproval of his utterances was
confined to his handclapping.
When Mr. O'Donnell referred In
complimentary terms to "the great
leader of the past two campaigns,"
there was a demonstration In which
the name of Hryan was heard abeve
the uproar.
He invited the "prodigal who had
been feeding on husks" back into the
fold, fur he said, "we need all kinds
of Democrats in this campaign." His
mention of Parker's name was greeted
with shouts and applaused. "Colorado
once more Joins hands with New
York," he concluded, "and the echo
comes back 'Parker, popular rights
and victory!'"
After the applause which followed
()' I >onnell'8conclusion, Conneticut was
called and Walter S. Cumniings seconded
the nomination of Parker.
Many of the spectators began leaving
the lloor and galleries and the
tramp of their feet was a new disturbing
element. L. Irvirg Handy of
Delaware followed Mr. Cummings,
and nominated Judge George Gray.
He began by saying:
"Delcware otters to you her noblest,
bravest and best,'' and a cheer went
up led by the Delaware delegation.
before Mr. Handy had closed the
disturbance became so pronounced
that he closed amid brief cheering.
Hearst saying:
"The Democracy of Florida desires
the nomination of Hearst, because the
paramount issue today is the trust
question, and William K. lharst is
the most persistent and aggressive opponent
of the trusts and all the hardships
and evils attendant upon their
oppressions of the people. The Democracy
of Florida desires the nomination
of Hearst, because we believe
that lie is the only man who can carry
Into the Democratic column the pivotal
States of New York, Illinois and
Indiana, which are essential to Democratic
sue ess, and Democratic success
can only rescue the south from the
degradation of Itooseveltlsm and negroism.
We believe that Hearst can
and will carry New York, if this convention
makes higfeM||^tandard bearer

their
ker's oame a shout greeted It. The
crowd thought that was the conclusion
of the speech, and when he continued
the irreverent in the gallery
cried "cut It out," aud ineffectually
tried to drown him out. He gained a
round of applause when he iinished.
When Illinois was culled Clarence
Darrow seconded Hearst, at whose
name the galleries vented their enthusiasm.
When he said: "It seems to
be fate that the men who once scuttled
the Democratic ship shall once
more be placed in power," there were
cheers and biases.
"The Democracy of .Jefferson; the
Democracy of Llryan," 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 the
wear>ing crowd.
He was followed by W. J. Kern of
Indiana who seconded Judge Barker's
nomination.
A HOW IN IOWA.
Mr. Sam 1). Wright of Iowa caught
the convention when he declared, "1
am proud of the fact that the great
party to which 1 belong ordinarily believes
in free speech." Chairman
Weaver, whea Mr. Wright had conc'udtd,
gained recognition f >r Mr.
Binehart, who, on behalf of the Stite
of Iowa, seconded Hearst's nomination.
"The gentleman who just left the
plat form," said Mr. llinehart, "cast
aspersions upon the delegation from
Iowa. 1 desire to cast the tsperslon
back into his teeth."
Mr. uincnatt denied ror nroiseir
and all other members of the Iowa
delegation that any money had been
received by them to induce them to
cast their vote for any candidate.
A sequel followed quickly, the delegation
meeting and voting to ur seat
Wright as the Iowa member of the
committee to notify the presidential
nominee, in the words of one of the
delegation the action was taken because
of the "imputation cast upon the
delegation" by Wright.
W'hen Kansas was called J. G. John
son seconded the Hearst nomination
and was followed by David (Ivermeyer
of Kansas, who placed Gen. Nelson A.
Miles in nomination.
Vigorous applause followed Mr.
(>vorme>er's mention of the name of
Gen. Miles, but when lie concluded his
add re s, after naming his candidate,
he was frequently interrupted by the
galleries, and the applause at the conclusion
of his remarks was shortlived.
Delegate llosin of Missouri then in
terp<s d a motion to limit seconding
speeches to one minute but 1) cke-y
cf Missouri and Grady of New Yok
objecting, the limit was plac d at four
minute s.
.1. W. Orr of Kansas thereupon
briolly seconded Parker's nomination,
as did Thomas II. Hall of Texau
Louisiana seconded the nom natic ?
of Parker by a simple announcement.
Maine gave way to Missouri and
Champ Clark placed in nomination
Senator Francis M. Cockrcll of Mbsouri
for the presidency.
I'arker in CIiomkii
When the nomination closed at halfpast
live o'clock Saturday morning
after an all night session, Judge
Paiker was nominated for President of
the United States by the convention In
short order. There was but one rollcall,
and so decisive was the result
that those Slates which had voted
against Parker's nomination changed

The scene was dramatic in the extreme.
The darkness witnessed the
gathering of the Democratic hosts,
white broad daylight saw the close.
The convention was 1 i session from 8
o'clock Fiiday night till nearly <5
o'clock Saturday morning, in that
time eight names were pre Jen ted to
the convention, nominating and seconding
sp< eehes were innumerable
and as the dawn appeared it became
necessary to limit the speeches
to four minutes each. An extension
was made in the case of William .).
Bryan, who in one of the mist dramatie
situations ever witnessed in a political
gathering, addressed the convention
and concluded by seconding the
nomination of Senator Francis M.
Cockrell, the favorite candidate from
Missouri.
Bryan received his third great ovation
accorded during the convention.
11 is speech was an imparsioncd appeal
to the delegates to give the party a
candidate who had voted the I) mocrattc
ticket in 1890 and 1900. He
spoke in behalf of the Nebraska delegation,
which he said had r.o candidate
to pre sent or favor to ask, but
wanted a candidate whose nomination
would not 'oe a triumph of one faction
over another. He suggested Hearst if
the convention thought best, then
Pattison, of Pennsylvania and finally
created a surprise by declaring for
Cockrell.
()no of the features of the long session
was the beautiful tribute paid
Senator Cockrell when bis name was
placed in nomination by Champ Clark.
There was a spontaneous outbur.st, and
the delr gates, wearied by the long
session and exhausted by their labors,
indulged in the demonstration, that
lasted half an hour. The waving of
Hags In the galleries and by the delegates
made the scene Impressive.
The enthusiasm evidently converted
Bryan to the Idea that Cockrell's
chances for the nomination were good,
and s >on after gaining the lloor lie
made an electrifying effort for the
anti-Parker forces to rally. Tue corventlon
officials and police were poweless
to control the crowd, as a seemingly
hypnotic spell was cast over the
convention by his speech, but in the
end the Parker forces were unshaken.
The ballot for president gave Parker
(158 votes of the (167 r.eeded, and
before the result could be announced,
Idaho, Nevada, Washington and others
made changes to the Parker column.
Governor Dcckery, of Missouri,
moved to make the nomination unanimous,
and it was carried am>d increasing
cheers. The result of the ballot
was never officially announced, and it
is not likely it ever will be.
DAVIS KOH VICK PIIK8IDKNT.
After nominating the presidential
candidate the convention adjourned at
seven o'clock Saturday morning to
meet at half-past five o'clock to nominate
a vice-presidential candidate, at
which hour the convention was called
to order. Several gentlemen were put
in nomination and a ballot was taken,
which resulted in the choice of Ex-Serator
II. G. Davis, of West Virginia.
Just before the ballot for vice-president
was taken a great sensation was
created in the convention by the report
that Judge Parker had sent a telegram
saying he would not accept the
nomination unless the platform adopted
declared in favor of gold. The
matter was debated for several hours
and was finally proven to be untrue. |
