He made this plain at the outset and at the name of Hearst the galleries vented their enthusiasm. When he said, “It seems to be fate that the men who once scuttied the Democratic ship shall once more be placed in power,” there were cheers and hisses. “The Democracy the Democracy of Bryan,” was a phrase from Darrow which struck the con- vention. After the shout which fol- lowed a volce from the gallery behind the platform rang out, “Three cheers for Bryan.” The cheers were given with a will. Darrow’s speech enliv- ened the wearying crowd and he was frecly applauded.

PAYS TRIBUTE TO PARKER. Indiana was called next, and John W. Kern responded to second the nomina- | tion of Judge Parker. Kern said in part: “When our candidate takes posses- sion of the White House on March 4| how comforting and reassuring to the | American people to have even a brief | period of sflence after the never-ending | streams of talk poured from those pre- | cincts during the past three years—talk | of war, talk of wildcats, talk of bear | fights, of fencing, of boating, of ath- | letic _contests, of babies; after all the | startling performances of the present | | executive, from Panama diplomacy, | | from breakfast table chats with the colored man and brother. How blissful; oh, how restful and reposeful will be| the silence—at least the comparative si- | lence which will surely come! “The candidate soon to be named by this convention is able, honest, fear- less, a friend of the people, a foe of lawless monopoly, an upholder of the | constitution, a defender of the princi- | ples of Jefferson, a thoroughbred Dem- | | ocrat and a never-failing winner. His | name is already upon your lips. You are only awaiting the opportunity to nominate him—Alton Brook Parker of New York.” DISTURBANCE IS STARTED. At 12:28 a. m. Kern concluded and the State of Jowa was called. A dele- | gate sprang to his chair and declared a second to Hearst. But Sam Wright | of Tipton, Towa, mounted his chair and | shouted: “On behalf of the unbought, unpur- | chasable delegates of Towa—"" At this point a rush was made for Wright by some of his colleagues in ;(he delegation. It became evident at |once that trouble was on. Wright | sprang forward on the chairs to get | out of the reach of his antagonists. An Arkansas delegate across the alsle | reached out his hand and motioned him in. The convention was thrown |into an uproar. One of the Hearst | Iowa delegates rushed forward to the | platform. He was at once followed by Wright between two men. There was a whispered conference with Chairman | Balley, and Wright secured recogni- | tion. He thundered forth, “Gentlemen of | the convention—I am proud of the fact | that the great party to which I belong | ordinarily believes in free speech.” This struck the convention and ‘Wright was accorded attention. | "“On behalf of that section of Jowa | which sends Democrats to Congress, on behalf of Jowa Democrats who did | not receive their political education | from Coin’s financial school, I second the nomination of Judge Parker of | New York.” | Wright at once left the platform ;amid great applause and confusion. | He proceeded down the aisle to his seat. His colleagues, however, refused | to allow him to take his seat. He was | called many hard names and finally had to be protected by an officer and was given a seat by the Georgia dele- | gation. The incident was one of the | liveliest of the session and for a mo- ment promised to become sensational. DENIES RECEIVING MONEY. Chairman Weaver of the Iowa dele- :gntlon loudly demanded a hearing but | was not recognized. He asserted that his colleagues wished to remove Wright as the honorary vice president of the convention from Jowa. Then Chair- man Bailey took a hand. Rapping his desk he secured order and said: “In the confusion the chair was un- able to recognize the gentleman who rose first. In order to correct the mis- take the chair now takes great pleas- ure in recognizing Rhinehart of Towa.” “The gentleman who has just left ~ | as the Jowa member of the committee to notify the Presidential nominee. In the words of one of the delegates, the action was taken because of the “im- putations cast upon the delegation” by Wright. Kansas was called and J. G. Johnson was recognized to second the Hearst nomination. Johnson said in part: “We believe in the theoretical policy that the office should seek the man, but we also believe in the practical political proposition that the man should be out in plain sight when the office is looking for him; that he should take the people into his confidence and g them every means of knowing what he stands for and what they can depend upon if they elect him. And for this reason we de- fend the nomination of Mr. Hearst.” PRESENTS MILES' NAME. As Johnson concluded the chair recognized David Overmeyer of Kan- sas, who placed General Nelson A. Miles in nomination. Vigorous applause followed Over- meyer's mention of his candidate and he was frequently interrupted by the galleries, and the applause at the con- clusion of his remarks was short-lived. In the midst of the handclapping the chairman’s gavel fell sharply and end- | ed it. Delegate Roesing of Minnesota then interposed a motion that all seconding speeches should be limited to one min- ute. Governor Dockery moved to amend by making the time five minutes. After a little parliamentary squabble the time was fixed at four minutes. Kansas produced a third speaker in J. W. Orr, who, in a few words not heard far from his seat, séconded the nomination of Parker. Thomas H. Ball of- Texas was next recognized to second the nomin: tion of Parker. Louisiana also sec- onded Parker. Maine gave way to Missour! and Champ Clark of that State took the platform to place in nomination Sena- tor Francis M. Cockrell of Missouri for the Presidency. It was after 1 o'clock when Clark began to speak. CLARK AROUSES DELEGATES. His audience had sat for more than five hours in the sweltering heat of the packed hall and listened to speeches for the greater part prepared in ad- vance. They were growing tired. But Clark was a stimulant. He had not spoken a hundred words before a ripple of rearoused attention ran through the hall. It was much like the scene at Chicago when Speaker Cannon spoke. In five minutes he had won his audience and weariness was swept from them. They responded to his every hit and cheered him to the echo. Clark’s first mention of his candi- date as “old Cockrell” threw the con- vention Into conmvulsions of laughter. The band played “Dixie” and the trib- ute rose to a demonstration. It was Missoari cheering Missouri's favorite son and the whole convention joined in the compliment. Bundles of flags were carried around to the galleries and thousands of them were moved over into Missou- ri territory and in an instant two pic- tures of Senator Cockrell were ripped from their frames while the gallery danced and shrieked in delight. Above the band and the cheers ris- ing high and clear as a bugle ¢all suddenly came the shrill and pierc- ing “rebel yell” and the long drawn “Wah-Ho0-00" of the plains. The Missourl delegation went on a short march around the hall. The tribute to Senator Cockrell, which was one of the handsomest things of its kind seen in many conventions, lasted more than a quarter of an hour. CHEERS FOR OLNEY. Kansas sought to make a counter demonstration by waving two pictures of Hearst, but the Missourians were not to be denied and this time they “showed” things to the other side. When twenty minutes had gone a Mis- souri delegate carrfed tne State em- blem to the platform and waved it as high in the air as he courd reach. This was the end of the demonstra- tion, however, and quiet was restored. Maryland seconded the nomination of Parker through Colonel Benjamin Schley. “‘Massachusetts,” called the clerk and Patrick A. Collins of Boston made his way to the platform to nominate Rich- ard Olney. The mention of Olney called forth cheers, led by Massachusetts. There was another loud cheer when the speaker declared that Olney need- ed no introduction to the world and when he closed there were cheers and calls for Olney. After the Olney demonstration there was a call for three cheers for Cockrell and they were given with a will. ‘When the name of Minnesota was called the chairman of that delegation, on behalf of a portion of the delega- tion, seconded the nomination of Parker. Another member of thedelegation was_ PEECHES OF ORATORS AND SHOW DISPLEASURE CALIFORNIANS START AN EXTENDED DEMONSTRATION FOR HEARST AT THE ~ CONCLUSION OF THE DELMAS SPEECH Polished Rhetoric and Studied Diction of Distinguished Lawyer Are Lost in the Huge Coliseum and Effect of Masterly Oration Is Marred.

Bryan at St. Louis: My Dear Brvan: Read Numbers, tenth chapter, twenty-ninth verse. Come."” Following is the verse: “And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Reuel, the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law, We are journeying unto the place of which the Lord said I will give it you; come thou with us and we will do thee good, for the Lord has spoken good concerning Israel.” - el then recognized and on behalf of a majority of the delegation, seconded the nomination of Hearst. Governor Vardeman of Mississippi stood on his chair and in a brief speech seconded Parker’s nomination. MANY CALLS FOR BRYAN. Montana was next called and Sena- tor Clark of that State arose in his place and seconded the nomination of Parker. Nebraska came next and the noise of the convention was hushed as the name fell from the clerk’s lips. C. J. Smythe responded, but before he could speak the convention began a demonstration, in which the name of Eryan was heard above the uproar. “Bryan, Bryan,” yelled the crowd. Bryan finally arose and, standing on the chair, endeavored to quiet the demonstration, but he was only an in- centive for a fresh outburst. Bryan with a palmleaf fan motioned the delegates to take their seats. When he could make himself heard he simply announced that Wisconsin had a candidate to present, and Ne- braska yielded her place on the roll- call to that State. David S. Rose, Mayor of Milwaukee, was at once recognized and took the platform to place Idward C*Wall in nomination. Missouri, which had been passed in- advertently on the rollcall, was called, and ex-Senator Harris of Kansas made response. He seconded the nomination ef Cockrell in a brief speech delivered from the platform. Many delegates began leaving the hall, pushing their way through the crowded seats and causing much con- fusion. The galleries also began to thin out. Then an alternate far off to the left, overcome by bracers, mounted the chair and with uncertain gestures de- manded attention. A couple of police- men promptly hustled him out. ROSE ARRAIGNS PARKER. Nevada was called at the conclusion of Senator Harris' speech. A delegate arose and seconded from his place on the floor the nomination of Hearst. New Hampshire seconded the nom- ination of Judge Parker, as also did New Jersey. Mayor Rose then took the New York delegation to task severely for present- ing Judge Parker. “The nation has been cahlnl on New York for New York to tell us what are the views of their candi- date,” he sung out, “but he said noth- ing. Loud applause and cries from the galleries follcwed. Rose proceeded with an arraignment of Parker's can- didacy in such strong terms that a point of order was raised by Oscar Miles, a Kansas delegate, who yelled amid the uproar when Chairman Bai- ley asked him to state it, “The gentle- man is not speaking in behalf of any candidate, but In general arraignment of the Democratic party.” Chairman Bailey overruled the point of order with the statement that it was not within the province of the chair to pass upon what a speaker should say. “I wish to say that I don’t want to stir up a row,” declared Rose after he was allowed to resume. The sentence, however, was met with cries of derision. DISPLEASES CONVENTION. A. J. Barr, a’ Pennsylvania delegate, interjected that the speaker had no right to resume along the same lines. ‘When Rose declared that he present- ed things in a spirit of good fellowship he was interrupted. Rose grew rapidly unpopular and was interrupted with cries and stamping. But he persisted and finally amid much confusion named Edward C. Wall as Wisconsin's candidate. North Carolina gave a second to the Parker nomination. Chairman Cole of the North Dakota delegation took the platform and an- nounced that he had a name to present to the convention that had not yet been presented. “Who is he?"” demand- ed the conventiod. “I'll name him,” retorted Cole, who proceeded with his speech. “The candidate we wish to present to you,” he continued, “seems to have only one objection and that is that he comes from too far south.” Cole branched into a political discus- sion and the audience amused itself by making loud guesses as to who the nominee would be. Chairman Bailey tried to quiet the clamor which had brought Cole to a stop. The chair begged the convention to hear the speaker and sald “because the speaker declares he will not leave the stand until he finishes.” NOMINATES WILIZAMS. At last Cole got to the end, which was the declaration that nis candidate was John Sharp Williams of Missis- sippi. A round of applause followed the call of the name of the Democratic leader of the House. Neither Ohio nor Oregon had a candi- date to indorse and Michael J. Ryan of Pennsylvania seconded the nomination of Parker. By this time the audience was get- ting restless and was not trying to hide it. When Rhode Island was reached John J. Fitzgerald of that State second- ed the nomination of Hearst. The audience cried “time” on him be- fore he got fairly started, but he stuck out his four minutes. CONVENTION HALL, ST. LOUIS, 4:20 a. m., July 9.—Bryan is discuss- ing two former Democratic campaigns. He said he had been called a dictator and then looking toward the New York delegation, he cried out, “It was false and vou knew it was false.,” Bryan said Nebraska would not in- sist upon any man for the nomination. 4:25 a. m.—Day is beginning to break but three-fourths of the spectators re- main in the hall, Sed HEADQUARTERS CALIFORNIA DELEGATION, JEFFERSON HOTEL, ST. LOUIS, July 8.—Delirious with de- light, California’s delegation roared and howled and whooped for Hearst a full half hour to-night, D. M. Delmas had concluded his speech placing Hearst in nomfination when the Cali- fornians, Joseph Simmons leading and waving the Democratic standard of the State, started the demonstration for the aspiring editor. In the wake of the Californians marched bearers of placards on which were printed the names of JTowa, Wyoming, Nevada, Arizona, Hawali, Rhode Island, Illi- nois, Washington, Minnesota, Kansas, South Dakota and New Mexico. Without apparent purpose the Call- fornians extended the whoop-up long after every one else was ready to quit. They wanted to go on record as making more noise than the Parkerites, and they succeeded. The demonstration was a splendid climax to the effort of Delmas. The polished rhetoric and studied diction of the distinguished lawyer was lost, however, in the great Coliseum. The delegates heard Delmas and noted well his points, but the audience, the Cali- fornians in particular, were disap- \ —_— BY FREDERIC W. BISHOP, Btaff Correspondent of The Call. —_—————— pointed. They looked for a masterly oration; it was, but distance withheld it from their ears. The session of the convention to- night brought to light many points of interest to Californians. The demon- stration that followed the presenta- tion of Parker’'s name to the conven- tion proved beyond argument the con- ditions that led Tarpey to abandon the proposed giant speclal train in which he had intended to carry all the dele- gates dwelling west of the Missouri River to the convention city. It was explained when the California special cars arrived here as the tail end of an overland express that inabllity to make connections and adjust rates had compelled the abandonment of Tarpey's plan to bottle the Western delegates on one train. The rabid pro-Hearst-antl-Parker sentiment that dominates the Califor- | nia delegation almost precipitated a riot in the convention shortly after 10 o'clock to-night. A large Parker ban- ner, carried by the New York delega- tion, fell from its frame when it was being carried past the California res- ervation. The Californians, taking ad- vantage of the cheer from the anti- Parkers that greeted the Incident, L PROMOTION COMMITTEE STARTS FOR THE NORTH Fourth Excursion Party Takes Special Train To-Day and Will Journey to Eureka.

The Civic Council, an organization composed of representatives of the dif- ferent religious bodies of the city, has started an active campaign to increase retail liquor licenses from $41 per quar- ter, the highest amount collectable under the charter, to $125 per quarter. In order to accomplish that purpose petitions are being circulated among electors for signatures. If 15 per cent of the voters of the city and county sign the petition the Election Commis- sioners will be compelled to place the proposed ordinance on the official bal- lot to be voted November 3. Members of the Civic Council believe the required number of signatures will be secured in time for the Commis- sioners to issue the required thirty days’ notice to electors prior to the election. If the petitions recelve the required number of signatures and a majority of votes cast are in favor of the ordi- nance, it becomes a law which the Board of Supervisors cannot repeal without submitting the question to a vote of the people. The Civic Council contends that the liquor traffic costs the city 90 per cent of the expense to maintain the Police Department and its adjunct, the police courts, while the saloon men pay only 20 per cent of the taxes. The further contention of the organization is that the increase of the licenses to $125 per quarter will simply cause liquor men to pay their just portion. The council also intends to take up the question of a special school tax. The members of the organization claim that the schools of San Francisco are in bad condition on account of the lack of funds, and it will be part of the work of the organization to secure a uniform rate of school taxes for all time. Estimates have been made as to the cost of the proposed campaign and, figuring the voting population of the city and county at 80,000, there will be $5000 necessary to carry the movement along. Funds are now being solicited for the purpose stated. ——— s Camille Pelletan, French Minister of Marine, and M. Tissier, president of the Cabinet, were chums at college and are close friends now, A. SPEAKS FOR TEXAS. Thomas H. Ball Compares Parker and President Roosevelt. ST. LOUIS, July 8.—Thomas H. Ball of Texas spoke on behalf of Parker's nomination as follows: Volcing the will of organized, united and militant Democracy of Texas, I am commis- sioned by her delegatioh to this convention to second the nomination of Judge Alton B. Parkor, Thoughtful Democrats from every section of “this country of ours” have reached the conclusion that incomparably above ail others, he is tha one man whom all Democrats can unite upon without explanation or apology. With such a candidate, no Democrat can refuse to support him and assign a reason not born Lt prejudice, misrepresentation or fac- ticnal spirit. Lovors of constitutional government, re- 8] e of property rights and advocates of the jvst claims of labor, will have in this blameless citizen, loyal Democrat, wise and uprighit judge, an executive, when elected, who will respect the well defined functions of the executive, judicial and legislative branches of the Government. Judge Parker stands for a democratic republic; President Roosevelt for a “republican empire.”” Judge Parker has not sought the nomina- tion, nor will his candidacy have Leen dictated by any faction, interest or section. President Roosevelt, to obtain hig nomination, not only ruthlessly abeudoned thfe power of public pa- tronage to reduce hfs party leaders to ‘‘in- voluntary servitude,” but over the Republican convention at Chicago hovered his ambitious, dominatitg spirit, dictating its every step and action. If clected President of the United States our cardidate will take the executive chair clothed with the wisdom to understand the constitu- tion, which he Is sworn to support and gifted | with reverence for the principles it was or- dained to obtain. Courageous, conservative, wise and self-poised, he will be content to properiy aid In shaping our domestic policy. to advance the happiness and prosperity of all our people and help conduct our foreign rela- tions £0 as to promote peace and avoid en- tavgling alliances and complications. Against him the Republican party presents a candidate restless under the limitations of a constitution he does not appreciate or under- stand. Reckless of International obligations, and having reduced the Republican party to a State of blind subjection, he will keep our country In a state of perpetual unrest, destroy- ing our domestic quietude and disturbing in- ternational tranquillity by his all-consuming thirst for power. Rooseveltism 1s a distinet issue In Ameri- can politics. Strenuous, impetuous and wor- shiping blindly at his own shrine, four more ars of his methods will result in such pation of power by the executive ve to “a republic in name only, esibly Involve us in a foreign cept the issue and present hli ew York's ‘‘chief Judge.” with absolute con- fidence that when he comes from his healthful country estate, as did Washington, Jefferson and Madison. to occupy the great office of President of the United States, he will prove a worthy successor to those lllustrious patriots, destroy the shadow of a one-man power which now threatens the destiny of our country, and measuve up to the high hopes and expectations of the American people. e NOTIFICATION OF SWALLOW.

A battle of fists seemed imminent and the police were called upon to drive the warring factions to their seats. It was several minutes before they succeeded {in clearing the aisles and stopping what threatened to develop into a seri- ous combat. During the mad demonstration a huge Hearst banner was carried to the platform by -the Californians. Instead of “Hearst for President” the gifted sign painter that executed it had branded it “Hearst for Progress.” The banner soon came down and there were | but few that noted the error. | When the New York standard was torn from its fastening and used to mark the advance of the Parker hosts | the first to wave in its wake was that | of Texas. Then came Oklahoma and Indian Territory, Alaska and Utah. James H. Budd for Vice Président will be the cry of the Californians in the convention to-morrow if the voice of M. F.

After the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Roseland took a carriage and drove to the starting point of their wedding journey, not letting any one into the secret of their destination. The romantic desire of bridal couples to remain undisturbed during their honeymoon was only one of the reasons for this secrecy. ———— JOURNALIST IS CHOSEN TO FILL, ROLE OF APOSTLE Editor of Utah Paper Given High Place by Leaders of Mor- mon Church.
