Demonatration for Parker: Flags of silk emblazoned with Parker pictures appeared as if by magic. firmly secured standards that marked the location of each State delegation wefe from the floor and carried here and there by perspiring delegates. “Leading all was the purple banner of Georgia, Then came the standards of New York, Indiana, Penn- sylvania, Connecticut, Alabama, Vir- -? ginia, Texas, Tennessee, North Carolina, Utwh, Alaska, Indian Territory and New Jersey. The indescribable combination of sound that arises from several thousand men trying to split their throay rose and fell in deafening cadence for a few minutes and gave promise of dying away, An immense banner bearing 4 pleture of the New York jurist was hoisted in the middie of the delegates’ section and two men staggered with it toward the platform, Out into the hall moved the great banner and behind it, circling around and around the arena, trudged the perspiring, solemn mica bearing the funny round signs that marked the positions of the various delegations. At proper intervals the wily Col John 4 I. Martin made graceful motions to the band, and the opportune musical inter- judes contributed to the excitement tintil twenty-four minutes had elapsed. ‘The cheering for the candidate died y with a grouping of the standards and the banners at the foot of the stairs leading to the desk of the Chair- man, When the State of Arkansas was sked, through her representatives, If ehe had a candidate, she made way for Tennessee, and Senator Carmack, of that State, took the platform to sec- ond the Parker nomination, §enator Carmack was not accorJed the same consideration that had been the good fortune of Mr, Littleton, Crowd Yelled, it was apparent before he had been talking for two minutes that the old crowd of Bryan shouters that made the toavention a bedlam yesterday was again in evidence. From every corner of the hall pro- seeded yells of “Hurrah for Bryan!” and “Give us Bryan!” Soon the Bryan roars amothered the voice of the gen- tleman from Tennessee and even when he closed the applause of the Parker supporters could make no headway against the men who were keeping the peerless leader from Nebraska in tho minds of those present. If any demonstration of the presence of & Hearst clique were needed It was > turrished when E.

Horns were _ tooted, cow bells were rung, and mega. phones aided in carrying the Hearst war cry away from the faces of emit- ters thereof. While Mr. Delmas was speaking the crowd was quiet, but as mon a6 he wound up by hurling at the expectant multitude the name of Will- jam Kandolph Hearst the first real do- irgs of the evening made their debut, The Hearst demonstration wags ex- eollently stage managed. There was an array of props that would do credit to a cirous.

CONVENTION HALL, ST. LOUIS, July 9.—Martin W. Littleton, of Brooklyn, inade his lirst appearance as an orator before a Democratic} mational convention when Alabama, the first State called, yielded to the Empire State, and the young Brooklynite stepped out to place in nomina- nee of the young man from Brooklyn | There were when he began, but he soon showed that he had the lungs and throat to make himself heard and words to make the He hat the audience with him in five minutes. In the beginning bis sarcasm aroused laughter; at the end his elo- When he mentioned the name of Parker, after a clever appeal to North, South, Kast and West to get together and rehabilitate the Democratic party, there was an uprising that was perhaps as much a tribute to the orator as to the candidate, All the enthusiasm that followed the mention of the name of Par«er , The audience in the galleries was entirely of St. Loulsians or World's Fair visitors from the Southwest They know not Parker as yet, unc, It was a show to them, and before the echo of Mr. Littleton’s voice had passed away from the plattorm the 4 The | Convention When| Volley of Missiles is A some scornful cries of| hearing composed almost besides, they were present only to cue was given they were mounted on poles and raised aloft. Those intrusted with the tark of toting the banners and emblems fell into place with unerring accuracy, reminiacent of obedience to the slap of the hands be- hind the scenes during the Amazonian march, The great Callfornia banner that looks lke a show window full of Fold watches led the parade of the Nearat appurtenances, and after it were borne, interspiced with gaudy flags, the standards of Illinolsy, Hawall, Rhode Island, Towa, Minnesota, Arizona, Nevada and Washington, Like Broadway Sandwich Men, Gorgeous indeed was the display tn the strong white light, and but for the Svggestion of the restaurant advertis- ing signs that are carried by sandwich men on Broadway and Park Row one might mistake it for a representation of the Durbar at Luna Park. Judged by the length of time the nolse lasted the Hearst demonstration travelled further than that following the same of Parker, For thirty-seven ‘minutes the parade wound round the crowned hall, while banked up on the sides hundreds of able-bodied howlers tore holes in the soggy atmosphere. While the demonstration was at its helght the reddest head of hair that ever grew on & man arose like a Jap- anese fire-bal! out of the throng in front of the press seats on the north side of the platform, The owner of the hair had two strong friends with him, They climbed upon a table, formed an athletes’ bridge with thelr hands and lifted the man and the head high above the level of the floor and lo! the car- mine hirsute decoration shone like a beacon. Pelted the Red-H M In about a minute things began to go the way of that red head, Chunks of stiff copy paper, folded up news- papers, fans, handkerchiefs rolled in- to balls, and huge wads of telegraph Dianks bounced from it In showers, But the owner of the understudy for @ lighthouse was game, He held his ground until somebody yelled “Put out the fire!’ and a big can of ice water was passed along and emitted on his medium of disturbance, Another man stood up on the railing of the platform And waved his hat. A closely-rolled newspaper landed on his ear and knocked him to the floor, Thereupon two policemen picked him up and hurled him into the outer darkne: Tho inevitable girl in white ap- peared at the far northern end of the hall api waved a Hearst banner, There was nothing sylph-like about this damsel. She weighed about 18 pound: and she was the"last to desist when the Hearst demonstration died of ex- haustion. The tune to which the Hearst spasm became defunct was “The Wearing of the Green.” E. J. O'Donnell, of Cotorado, sec- onded the nomination of Hearst. Mr. O'Donnell is a radical. He believes in all that the Democratic party stood committed to fn 1696 and 190, and he is not afraid to say 90. He speaks with high regard for the separation of #ytia- bles; in fact, at times it appears that he makes each of his syllables a word. Nevertheless the crowd liked him. Homer Cummings of Connecticut, the old friend of Bryan, spoke for his Btate in seconding the nomination of Judge Parker. L. Irving Handy, of Dela- ware, deserted the large crowd of six delegates from his State long enough to wade through an oration eulogistic of Judge Gray, The crowd did not like Mr, Handy, and although his address and ‘tye as. ie THE WORLD: SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 9, ti, PARKE R, HIS INTERESTING Judge AO B Parker asserting that Hearst ts the an who can carry New York ‘The Hearst man made quite a hit.
