It 1s generally conceded that a great mistake has been by the Parker men in buying peace from Bryan at such a high price. One Parker delegate, who would not allow the use of his name, said: | “Parker cannot stand for guch « platform, and if be is nominated he ‘Will be compelled to dew! with the financial question in his lerter of accept: Dele YORK STATE IN DANGER. + To this statement Cord Meyer, the Chairman of the New York Damo. feratic State Comuittee, sald: “Gomething like that will have to be done or we shall not be able to 2 New York." , anti-Parker people were jubilant over the matter when they heard the disposition of the financial plank. Charles F. Murphy said: "> * don’t think the decision of the committee has improved Parker's shances, but, of course. nobody knows Judge Parker's views.” It was oaid at Tammany's headquarters to-day that at a meeting of the ‘anti-Parker forces last night Mr. Bryan had stated that he would willingly Mocept either Olney, of Massachusetts, or Gray, of Delaware, as a com- | promise candidate and that George Fred Williams had decked that he would nceept Olney.

(Special to The Evening World.) CONVENTION HALL, ST, LOUIS, July 8&—When the conven- tion opened to-day the delegates, weary of committee bickerings and de- lays, exhausted oy thirty-minute demonstrations and tired to death of bad food, cot bed: and ‘ross mismanagement, were in a mood for anything. Everybody wanted to get through and get home, and when the vot-) ing begins it will go with a rush, In the present temper of the delegates | nominating speeches are liable to be cut short by hostile demonstrations, | and there will be strenuous revolting if there are too many seconding | speeches or If they are too long. Ohairman Champ Clark arrived in the convention hall at 10.10 o’elock, but {t was almost 11 o'clock when his gavel fell. The convention was opened with prayer by Rebbi Samuel Sale, of St. Louls, and at its conclu- sion Mr. Clark announced that the police would attend to anybody who made @ row. BAND PLAYS ‘‘ HOME” TUNES. During the Afty-minute wait for the call of the convention to order the band entertained. Evidently there is no new music in the repertoire of this band. They started in on “Home, Sweet Home,” jumped to “My Old Kentucky Home,” and played “The Banks of the Wabash,” at which the Indiana delegates cheered. It there had been room in the hall for Paul Dresser he would have hited. the audience looked for “Hiawatha” and “Bedelia.” “We Tecognise that the great and unlooked for increase in the produc- Of gold, amounting in the last tew years to four thousand million dol- Kas relieved the stringency caused by the scarcity of metallic money, that because of that fact the money question, as it was Presented in Wat two Presidential campaigns, is not now acute or pressing for legis- relief; but it has at the same time vindicated the demands of the party in the past for an increased volume of metallic money, Gemand not being for silver as silver, or for gold as gold, but tor « Quantity of staniard money o maintain the level of prices and the business of the country.” ‘ED DOWN AMENDMENTS. , Bryan presented a suggestion declaring it to be the sense of the Der party that the volume of currency should not be diminished, but H complained that in view of the action of the committee last night down the gold piank, the insertion of the proposed resolution ‘& mpecion of bad faith.

The excitement of his nomination has caused the Judge's interests to in his home ire. The Soot Tom Smith, of Tammany, called the roll and showed the delegates that was attired THE WORLD, For the Reception of Advertisements at the Regular Advertising Rates apple pie a la made. When the name of William J. Bryan was announced as the honorary Vice-President from Nebraska, there were frequent but feeble cheers, indi- cating that the Bryan boosters who whooped It up for him yesterday were engaged only for a sthgle performance. All kinds of expedients were devised to keep the convention going un- til something could be heard from the Committee on Resolutions, Messen- ger after messenger was sent to the committee-room to find out when the platform would be ready, and finally a report came back that the commit- tee had unanimously adopted a platform and that it would report on it at 8 o'clock to-night. The delegates yawned prodigiously at this If there i any debating of the platform the convention may have to rit most of the night in order to get to the roll all on nominations. At the conclusion of the roll call Chairman Clark had an inspiration, and he asked the delegates and audience to arise and sing, “America.” TEN THOUSAND SING “AMERICA.” The response was inspiring. Ten thousand voices joined in the Na- tional anthem, the deap bass notes men predominating.
