Before the formal opening of the session the band was signaled for a tume. The delegates be-! an to arrlve, making too much con- fusion for the chairman to be heard. The rumor of a recess had spread, and every one was anxious to know the proceedings. The delay.continued, however, waiting for word from the Vice Presidential conference at the Southern Hotel. The band was utilized for en- tertainment, and a rousing cheer as it struck up “Dixie” followed. Rev. Frank Johnston of the Delamar introduced and pronounced the invecation. He said: Lord God of our fathers, may we draw near this hour. We rejoice in the me: thou art granting unto us. We thanl at thou didst move our fathers to the tion of this Government.

LOUIS, July 9.—Chairman Clark was in the Coliseum ten min- utes before the hour fixed for the con- vention to reconvene this afternoon. Not only were there many vacant | seats in the galleries, but a number of | absentees were noticed among the del- egates and alternates. Outgoing trains to-day carried the first batch of the departing convention i crowd and many delegates planned on | leaving for their homes to-night. | It was a close, muggy atmosphere | into which the crowd walked this af- | ternoon. The setting sun poured in | on the west side of the hall and min- | gled unwillingly with the white glare | i | | of the arc ligh The majority of the delegates divested themselves of their coats, folded them across their laps and, seizing palmetto fans, flapped them vigorously, listening to the | music and wondering how soon the party leaders would reach an agree- ment on the Vice Presidential nomina- tion. A report that an attempt might be made to reopen the platform and in- sert a financial plank spread rapidly in the hall. It created consternation among most of the delegates, who saw an end to their hope of leaving St. Louis to-night or early to-morrow. | Should such a coup be attempted Bry- | in's coll: and consequent absence | was looked upon in some quarters as | lending color to the rumor and the on opened with an evident air of expectancy. Shortly before the gession con- | vened the rumor that Davis of TWest Virginia had been agreed upon by the s for the Vice Presidency went | hrou the hall and delegatés d in groups to discuss the si vas 5:37 o'clock when the first | of opening the session was man- | l. Chairman Clark called the to order and directed the | to take their seats. Repre- | John Sharp Williams of | Mississippi was recognized and moved | that nominating speeches should be | limited to fifteen minutes and second- speeches to five minutes, but that no more than four seconding | speeches would be allowed for any one nomination. Ball of Texas offered a substitute limiting the nominating speeches to ten minutes, leaving the time for the seconding speeches at five minutes and limiting the number to three. Williams at once withdrew his motion in favor the substitute and it was adopted. ROLL CALL BEGINS, The roll call of States was then called for the presentation of candidates for Vice President. Even at this time the galleries were less than half-filled, and great rows of vacant seats were visible. Alabama was called several times, with no response, but finally Russell of that State announced that Alabama would | | give way to Illinois. | Samuel Alschuler of Illinois arose and announced that Freeman B. Morris would speak for that State. Morris took the platform to namc James R. Williams of Illinois. Thanks te the few people present, he was able to do what no speaker before him had been able to do, and that was to make his voice audible to everybody in the | audience from his first word. Cheers | greeted the mention of Willlams' name, | but they did not come in a great meas- | ure from the delegates. Colorado yielded to Washington, and | | Chairman Clark recognized Frederick | | R. Robinson of that State, who spoke for George C. Turner. He spoke as fol- lows: = “My friends, you have builded a por- tion of a tickét. You have gone to the East for your President. Now come to the West. You men who listen to the tickers on Wall street come across the continent to the great Pacific slope and to the State of Washington. The Pacific Coast will be the battleground in the next campaign. Rally round your lead- er. You men in the South have the memories of the past binding you to | the Democratic party. You of the East | bave the historic origin of our leaders. | We men in the West are building the temple of Democracy, and the State of ‘Washington will produce the keynote, and all the other Western States will say it is a perfect creation. From | across this great, great continent we extend the hand of friendship to you and place on the ticket as a running mate for the peerless, matchless citizen of New York our own splendid friend and citizen, the first citizen of the State of Washington, ex-Senator George A. Turner.” (Applause.) Connecticut yielded to Indiana, and Delegate Spencer of Indiana seconded the nomination of Williams. RUMORS DISTURB GATHERING. By this time the report that a tele- the Democratic party. William Ran- dolph Hearst.” CONVENTION TAKES A RECESS. A resolution expressing regreat ana sympathy at the death of legate Jacob E. Border of North ta, in the train wreck at Litchfield on July 3, was offered by the North Dakota delegation and agreed to. Russell of Alabama was on his feet at once and remarked that on account of the sad news the convention should adopt appropriate resolutions, and, to allow the members of the North Da- kota delegation time to confer, he moved that a recess be taken until 5:30 o’clock. Cries of “No,” were heard from all parts of the hall, but Chairman Clark put the motion, when a protest was | | tiated that the session was going to be — e SRR L s MARTIN W. LITTLETON _OF BROOKLYN, WHO MADE PAR- “ 8y, MAIN MINATING - —— gram had been received from Judge Parker declaring his position on the financial question had become general. A crowd of delegates hurriedly gath- ered around Sheehan of New York and Tillman of South Carolina. Little conferences began to occur, on the oral line, but did not receive | much attention’ except from the gal- leries, and the small fry who did not know that a propable sensation was ripening all about them. Delaware gave her place in the call to Wést Virginia, and the chair recog- nized John D. Alderson of that State, who placed in nomination Henry G. Davis of West Virginia. A vigorous round of applause came from the dele- gates when Davis’ name was men- tioned, but little from the galleries. Senator Dubois of Idaho was the next speaker and he rose to second the | nomination of Turner of Washington. *Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Convention: We can carry more electoral votes in the Northwest than | we can in Illinois or in Indiana. We are not for the postoffices.- We can do | nothing for affirmative legislation | without Congressmen and Senators “If, it is an offense that our candi- date supported William Jennings | Bryan twice L.cannot help it. We of- | fer no Nobody has to ex- plain. The entire part of the country | where your eclectoral votes will come | from, if you win,.and where your Sena- | tors now are and will be, unite in| presenting to this convention George Turner of Washington.” STORM GATHERS. David Overm: r of Kansas placed ex-Senator William A. Harris of that State in nomination in a brief speech from the floor. As the unexciting routine of the nominating and seconding speeches proceeded the storm that seemed inev- itable gathering. Leaders hur- ried to and fro with anxious faces, and the news from Esopus spread rapidly. The floor filled with delegates and in | the Parker sections men sat close to- gether in whispered consultation. At 7 o'clock there were signs to the ini- dramatic in the extreme, but the dele- gates smiled and listened to the flow of “favorite son" oratory, all uncon- scious of the great things that were moving in the party's heart. The roll-call of States proceeded un- til_Maryland was reached. Without a response for Maryland, John Pren- tice Poe took the platform and second- ed the nomination of Davis of West Virginia. Senator William E. Clark of Mon- tana was the next to speak. He first paid a high tribute to the West and then seconded the Turner nomination. Clark was listened to with marked at- tention and his conclusion applauded. AWAITS NEW YORK'S CHOICE. Nebraska's response was the state- ment that she awaited with interest the choice of New York. New York requested to be passed when called on the roll. “‘Ohio has no choice” was announced when the Buckeye State was reached. Senator W. E. Carmack of Tennessee was placed in nomination by Delegate Hersey of that State. Hersey spoke from his chair and his speech was very brief. The name of Senator Carmack was received with applause. The first rumble of the approaching storm was heard at just 7 o'clock. Senator South of Arkansas broke in on the roll call with a motion that, in view of the rumors that were disturb- made that there had been no second. “Is the motion seconded?” asked Clark, and amid another general ecry “No, no,” and a vigorous protest from all over the hall, he put the question, The vote was overwhelmingly against HOPE DAWNS FOR BRIEF SPELL TO e Nominating Routine Broken by Ad- journment.

The convention was in such an uproar because of the Parker telegram rumors that the latter part of the roil call for the presentation of candidates for Vice JPresident was inaudible. Chairman Clark directed that the roll be called for the announcement of the votes. Senator Culbertson of Texas se- cured recognition.
