IS Chosen By The Democratic National Conven tion At St. Louis GREAT ENTHUSIASM MANIFESTED Eminent New York Jurist Wins the Nomination on First Ballot Amid Great Enthusiasm Platform Adopt- ed Hearst nand Gray Et Louis, Special. Judge Alton B. Parker was nominated for President by the National Democratic Convention on Saturday morning at 5:40, central time. On the first ballot he received C67 ballots more than the two-thirds necessary to a choice. There was unbounded enthusiasm among the delegates when the result of tho vote was announced. The Democratic National Convention which assembled in St Louis on July 6th was cne of tho largest representa tive bo.lics that ever graced a conven tion hall since the begining of the re public. John Sharp Williams was temporary chairman, and made a vigorous speech, arraigning the Republican position on all questions. The committee on permanent or gsnfzaxion nominated Champ Clark, of Missouri, for permanent chairman. The platform was adopted on Friday night, and Parker, Bryan and Gray were each placad in nomination. Tho following is taken from the iiominaticn speech of Mr. Littleton who nlnroi Jwlsre Parker's name before the convention: ' f" "Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Convention: "We do net expect here that stupid peace which smells of chloroform. We do not wish that unctuous unanimity which springs from the uaconflicting emotions of a solitary man. We would not have our harmony in a single har ness. We, too, love the stir of a strenu ous life; but we believe in equal strenu- ousnesa for all and special strenuous aess for none. We do not derive our porter from the seats of the mighty, but from the souls of the humble. We do not ask for insane agreement springing rom faithless fire; but rather out bursts of dissension issuing from ro bust freedom. Wo are not In executive session, but rather in the committee ol the whole. We were sent here by the people to select a candidate. We were not sent here by the candidate to notify the people. Our adversaries, by dwell ing tenderly on the simplicity of the la mented McKinley, managed to endure for three days the strenuosity of Roose velt. By recounting in affectionate terms the achievements of the one, they evoked an enthusiasm which they Immediately credited to the other. .Through tears that were shed for the nolle dead, they saw a larger outline of the living. Driven by lash and lured by luck, they called on all the sacred dust to kep their spirits up. Set to run for three full days, the pendulum petered out, the hands stuck fast, and only 8 strenuous shake could make the wheels go round. Spiritless in the sullen task, tiey worked uphill the grain and grav ity cf the hour. Without the mastei whom they had learned to love, they lingered under the whip of one whom they have learned to fear. Stripped oi premediatated pomp and shorn ol soothing; phrase, the occasion meant nc more or less than an era of boots and Epura. Take away the tribute to tht dead and all that is left is a horseman on the slopes of San Juan. Remove the reverend black that tells of a nation's grief, and underneath Is a khaki uni form. Withold the record made by hands and hearts now still, and all that 13 left is usurpation's bold account. Pull off the mask that wears the kindly smile of peace and see the grim and firm set teeth of war. It was the change from sure and certain ways to tho shifting, eddying currents of the wild unknown. It was a leap In the darkness of Republican eclipse, and four years hence will find them vainly looking for the light. It marks the place where a party. In a year's time, jforsook tho beaten path and went on a winding way of untraveled roads. It makes the gap between the era of the conservative and the radical. It looks Ecod now because they do not see iwhere the old force ends and the new begins. ..! . 'We appeal to every Democrat from everywhere to forget the bitter war fare of the past; forget the strife and :anger of the older, other days; abandon iall the grudge and rancor of party dls 'content, and, recalling with ever-In creasing pride, the triumphs of our fit ty years of a constitutional government !cf liberty and peace here and now re solve to make the future record that-re splendent reach of time In which liber ty and peace went up and down the na tions of the earth, building their king dom in the hearts of men and gathering 'the harvest of genius and toil; In which .reason struck from the hand of force the sword cf hate and plucked from the heart of war the germ of greed; In which conscience smote the thoughts of wrong and filled the mind with mer cy's sweet restraint; In which power grew in. the human brain, but refused the shelter of a glittering crowd; in i.which the people of all lands and ton gues, awakened to hope by the inspira tion of our example, followed with the march of years the luminous pathway pleading to a destiny beyond the reach Jof vision and, within the providence of .God. In this eoirlt. nates for President of the United Stated Alton B. Parker." i " Mr. Littleton's speech dealt at lengtjr THE NOMINEE with Republican claims, and he grew eloquent in his peroration in which he named the New York Jurist for the standard bearer. He was liberally ap plauded. The nominations of botn Hearst and Gray were well received and liberally applauded. The platform adopted deals with number of public questions. The money question,, however, was omitted as compromise. POINTS OF THE PLATFORM. Principal Measures Contained in the Party Declaration. The principles set forth in the plat form in the main are: Largo reductions can readily be made in the annual expenditures of the government without impairing the effi ciency of any branch of the public service The enforcement of honesty in the public service . and to that end a thorough legislative investigation of those executive departments of the government already known to teem with corruption, as well as other de partments suspected of harboring. Cor ruption, and the punishment of as Pertained corrupf.ibnists without fear or favOr or regard to persons. We favor the nomination and elec tion of a President trained In the ways of the Constitution, who shall set his 'iace sternly against executive usurpa tion of legislative fend judicial func tions. The Democratic party has been and will continue to be the consistent opponent of that class of tariff legis Sation by which certain interests have been permitted, through Congression al favor to draw a heavy tribute from :he American people. The money question is declared to be no longer an issue. Trusts and monopolies are con demned. Maintenance of the Monroe Doctrine, more liberal trade with Canada, and reduction of the army and army ex penditures are favored. A Liberal annual increase in the navy, and the enactment of laws giv ing capital and labor impartial rights are urged. The ship subsidy bill "is denounced. The extermination of polygamy is demanded. "We insist that we ought to do for the Filipinos what we have already done for the Cubans. And It Is our Intent, as soon as it can be done wisely and safely for the Filipinos themselves and after amicable arrangements with them concerning naval stations, coal ing and trade relations, and upon suit able guarantees of protection to all National and International interests, to set the Filipino people upon their feet, free and independent, to work out their own destiny. "We favor Statehood for Oklahoma and the Indian Territory, Statehood for Arizona, Statehood for New Mexico and a Territorial government for Porto Rico. "We favor the election of United States Senators by direct vote of the people. REBUFF VAS CUTTING ONE. Fitting Retort of "Mad Poet" to an Ungentlemanly Remark. Many stories are told of McDonald Clarke, known fifty years ago in New York as the "mad poet," which show that he had a vein of great shrewd ness, such as is often possessed by people who are counted insane. One day he was seated at a table in a New York hotel quietly eating his simple dinner when two young men took their seats at the same table. McDonald Clarke was a well known figure, and the young men at once recognized him though he did not know them. They were not gentlemen in the best sense of the word, and it oc curred to them that they might have some sport with the poor poet. Con sequently one of them said in an un necessarily clear tone: "I have seen almost everything and everybody in New York except Mc Donald Clarke. I have .a great admira tion for his poems, and I would give a great deal to see the man." When he passed the mad poet lean ed forward and said with evident gratification: "Sir, I am McDonald Clarke, whom you say you wish to see." The young man stared at him with much rudeness for a moment, and then drawing a quarter from his pocket he laid it on the poet's plate, saying, "That's for the sight!" Clarke looked at the coin for an in stant, and then placing it in his pock et, he took out a "York shilling," 12 cents. This he handed to the young man, saying gravely, "Children half price." Will Japs Eat Sacred Deer? The richest preserves of the noblest game of Asia will be at the.mfercy of the "yellow heathens" if the Japs suc ceed in taking the island Askold, where several great Russian nobles have established preserves for the fa mous Siberian deer, the last of the genus. Only a very Jew are allowed to be shot by noblemen paying dearly for the privilege. . Their number was estimated at 3,000 before the war. Aside from their flesh, the deer are valuable on account of their most beautiful coat, and particularly on ac count of their antlers. These norm are used by the Chinese and Japs foi medicinal purposes. If a hungry Jap army should take Askold, there is lit tle doubt that the valuable deer will be eaten, particularly as the island is crown property. The horns of the deer sell for 500 rubles a pair. I ' ' - The cost of the pension roll Is $1.73 a year for every man,, woman and ehlld in the United States. 018 FOR TOE 1 National Democratic Ticker Completed Saturday Night WAS NOMINATED BY ACCLAMATION Entire Harmony Prevailed at the Close of the Convention and All the Factions Were Satisfied FOR PRESIDENT ALTON BROOKS PARKER of New York. For Vice-President HENRY G. DAVIS of West Virginia. The above is th6 ticket nominated ty the Democratic National Convention at St. Louis last week. The questions were ail gone over thoroughly and the standard-bearers were chosen after ma ture deliberation and thorough discus sion. The Presidential nomination was made early Saturday morning, and it was expected that when the convention reassembled at iH; the Vice-presidential matter would be settled quick ly and an adjournment reached. But In the interim a telegram had been re ceived from Judge Parker that threw the mass of delegates into a tempo- rnrv ntatfi flf orfeat. excitement; TH! telegram follows: "Hon. W; F. Sheehan, Hotel Jefferson. St. Louis: "I regard the gold standard as firm ly and irrevocably established, and shall act accordingly if the action of the convention of today shall be rati fied by the feeopte; As the platform is silent on. the subject, my view should be made known to the convention, and if it is proved to be unsatisfactory to the majority, I request you to decline the nomination for me at once, so that another may be nominated before ad journment: A: B: PARKER The reading of this message and its explanation by John Sharp Williams put the delegates back into a satisfied state of mind, and the work of the body was then Elbsed up and an adjourn ment reached amid much cheering. Following was the detailed vote on the first ballot, which gave Parker the nomination; Alabama, Parker, 22; Ar kansas, Parker, 18; California, Hearst, 0; Colorado, Parker, 4; Hearst, 5; MC--Clellan, 1; Connecticut, Parker, 14; Delaware, Gray, 6; Florida, Parker, 6; Hearst, 4; Georgia, Parker; 29; ISahBj Hearst, ; Illinois, Hearst, 54; Indiana, Parker, 30; Iowa, Hearst, 26; Kansas, Hearst, 10; Parker, 7; Mile3, 2; Cock rell, 1; Kentucky, Parker, 2; Louisi ana, Parker, 18; Maine, Parker, 7; Hearst, 1; Olney, 4; Maryland, Parker, 16; Massachusetts, Olney, 32; Michigan, P&rker, 28; Minnesota, Parker, 9; Hearst, 9; Cockrell, 1; Towne, 2; Gray, 1; Mississippi, Parker, 20; Missouri, Cockrell, 38; Mbiltana, Parkef; 6; Ne braska, Gockreil, 4; Hearst, 4; Olney, 1; Gray, 1; Watt, 1; Patison, 1; Miles, 1; Nevada, Hearst, 6; New Hampshire, Parker, 8; New Jersey, Parker, 24; New York, Parker, 78; North Carolina, Par ker, 24; - North Dakota, Williams, 8; Ohio, Parker, 48; Oregon Parker, 4 Hearst, 2; McCleiiand; 1; Cbler, i; Pennsylvania, Parker; 66; Rhode Island, Hearst, 6 Parker, 2; South Caro lina, Parker, 18; South Dakota, Hearst, 8; Tennessee, Parker 24; Texas, Par ker, 36; Utah, Parker, 6; Vermont, Parker, 8; Virginia, Parker, 24; West Virginia, Parker, 10; Hearst, 2; Ger man, 2; Washington, Hearst, 15; Wis consin, Wall, 26; Wyoming, Hearst, 6; Alaska, Parker, 6; Arizona, Hearst, 6; District, of Columbia, Parker, 6; Indian Territory, Parker, 5; Hearst, 1; Haw aii, Hearst, 6; New Mexico, Hearst, 6; Oklahoma, Parker, 2; Hearst, 2; Mc Clelland, 1; Olney, 1; Porto Rico, Par ker, 2; Hearst, 4 The foregoing is a total Of 658 totes for Parker. Idaho, Washington and West Virginia then changed to the Par ker column, giving him a clear plural ity and Governor Dockery moved to make the nomination unanimous. Judge Parker was notified of his nomination early Saturday Morning, just as he was returning from his cus tomary swim in the river near his home. He took the news calmly and with his usual dignity. Sunday he attended church and listened to a sermon in which a thinly veiled com pliment was paid himself The usual quiet still is noticeable in all his manners. ROLL FOR VICE PRESIDENT. The roll of States was called for the pitesentation of candidates for vice president. Even at this time, the gal lories were less than half filled, and great areas of vacant scats were visi ble. Alabama was called several times with no response, but finally Mr. Rus sell, of that State, announced that Alabama would give way to Illinois. Samuel Alschuler, of Illinois, an nounced that Freeman B. Morris would speak for that State. Mr. Mor ris took the platform to nam James R Williams, cf Illinois. Cheers greet ed the mention of Mr. Williams' name, but they did not come in great measure from the delegates. Colorado yielded to Washington, and Chairman Clark recognized Frederick C. Robertson, of that State, who spoke for ex-Senator George Turner. Connecticut yielded to Indiana and Delegate Spencer, of that State, see on ed the nomination of Williams, ol Illinois". ... By this time a report that a tele gram had been received from Judge Parker, declaring his position on the financial question, had become general. A crowd of delegates hurridly gather ed around Sheehan, of New York, and Tillman, of South Carolina. Little conferences began to occur and the orators did hot receive much attention except from tho galleries and the small fry, who did not know that a probable sensation was ripening all about them. Deleware gave her place in the call to West Virginia, and the chair recognized John B Alderson; ol that State; who piaced in nominatiofl Henry G. Davis, of West Virginia. A vigorous round of applause came from the delegates when Mr. Davis name was mentioned, but llttlo from the gal leries. Senator, DuBois, of Idaho, seconded tho nomination oi George Turner; of Washington. "TavH Overmver. of Kansas, placed former Senator William A.

Mr. Hearsts teie gram was as follows: "A. M.

WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST." Buzzard's Bay. Mass., Special: Former President Grover Cleveland, who is the guest of Joseph Jefferson, was advised of the nomination of Judge Parker for President as soon as he awokS Saturday morning. Later, Mr. Cleveland sent the following statement to the Associated Press:' "Mr. Cleveland declines to see any reporter or representative of the press but sends the following word from his room tf the Associated Press; "I am in absolute ignorance of .ne action of the St. Louis convention except In so far as it has nominated Mr. Parker as Presdential candidate. With this result I am abundantly grat ified; and I hope that the remainder of the work of the convention will add to the encouraging prospects of Democratic success. This is all I can nossibly sav at this time. I do not know when I shall have an oppor tunity to read the platform adopted or to learn of the entire proceedings of the conventifHii in any event, it is absolutely certain that iio fUrthef ftxpressioh from me may tie .expected at present: I hope to be relieved of further importunity on this subject.
