DEMOCRATS NAME
PARKER AND DAVIS.
Platform Silent on Money Question?
Sensation Created by Parker's
Telegram.
The National Democratic Conven
tion which m^t in Pt- Louis last week
10 name a President and Vice Presi
dent end to declaro a platform waa in
s's'ion from Wednesday noon until af
trr midnight .Saturday night.
.Judge Alton B. Parker of New York
was nominated ou tho ILsl ballot as the
standard bearer of ihe puty and ex
Senator Davis of Wo-t Virginia was
chosen by acclamation ps his running
mate.
Tho platf irm adopted is regarded
sifo end sound and is satisfactory to
all tho prominent leaders. As the re
sult of a compromise between tho gold
and silver leaders, the platfotu con
tains no money or Income tax planks.
It was in some respects one of the
most notable and sensational Conven
tions ever held.
The complete elimination of Bryan's
domination of tho party was ono of the
chief results of tho Convention, t hough
the distinguished Nobraskan was given
abundant opportunity In tho commit
tee rooms and In tin ball to test bis
powers of oratory and leadership.
The South Carolina delegation voted
solidly for Parker. Senator Tiliman
was a consp'cunus llguro in the pro
ceedings, especially on the committee
on platform and h's cmduct f r tho
most part was oharicterlznl by con
vorsatlsm and moderation.
Gov. Hey ward was an enthusiastic
Parker nun from (irst to last.
Ex-Governor Shoppard was one of
the honorary vice presidents ard upon
his leaving the Convention before ad
journment the honor fell to Mr. War
ing of Columbia.
The proceedIrgs of the Cmvention
were open* d Wednesday at noon with
Representative John Sharp Williams
of Mississippi as temporary chairman.
Champ (Mark of Missouri was made
permanent chHinnan.
The platform did not reach th-3 Con
vention until Friday evening.' Immedi
ately after its adoption tho nominating
spocches began. Mr. Littleton of Now
York in a magnificent speech nomina
ted Alton Brooks Parker and senator
Oarmsok of Tenness-jc seconded tho
nomination. William R. Hearst of
New York, CockrcH of Missouri and
several others wore placed In nomina
tion during the night. Shortly before
? l o'clock Saturday morning a ballot
\v..s reached, the Convention
having been in session a'l
night ()n the first ballot Parker re
ceived (i.'?s v Ais. Three State? quickly
changed to Parker, with 11) vote3, mak
ing the total <>7" or 10 more than the
two thirds majority. On motion of
Chamo Clark of Missouri, sjcondei by
Pat Collins of Massachusetts, the
nomination was made unanimous.?
Judge Parker was notified of his nom<
tuition at (i.:iO, whilo he was taking
his morning's swim in the Hudson.
The Convention re-assembled Situr
d.iy aftornoon to none a vice pre?I
tfoiit. 15 foro tho proceedings liad
m nit: any progress, tho Convention
Was ihr own into wild excitement over
ll o report that Parker had sent a telo
geam didining the nomination, and
there were all kinds of rumors re
gitrding iho dispatch alloat<
Tho toiograni hid been rtosived by
Mr. Sheohan of New* York and on mo
tion Mr. Sheebao was requested to
send tho in ssago to the dertk that the
i'onvtn ion might know Its contents.
Ho complied and the telegram was
read by Gov. Vardoman of Missis
sippi. Parier simply stated that ho
was a gold Democrat and that Inas
much as t he platform ad iptod was s'
lenton the money question ho b-Moved
bis views should be known before tho
Convontion adjourned, so thut if his
position was unsatisftotory another
man could lie nominat jd. This of
course throw tho Convention into
great confusion. Some of tho loadors
lo$t their hoads and sum: their tem
per.
A conference was hold and soon an
answer was prepared tosend to Parker,
saying that tho mono ary fctlbjeot was
not an issue, and thoreforo he could ac
uopt the nomination.
Senator Davis, Williams of IHinots
and soveral othors wore placed in nomi
nation for V.ce President. Davis was
mimed.
The Democratic nomioco for Presi
