The f-? was saluted .with enthusiasm. -As men more or less well known came the hall each was cheered. As the Eryanites came in there were cries from 'he e iiieries for "Bryan, 'Bryan." Each a.T.c Ir jjjjj and ex-Senator Murphy sf New York moved down the aisles trre were cheers. They gave no recog r 'cion of the welcome. It was hot, a :r' ' ' worn out gathering of exhaust- men. Only the women in the audi 'r looked fresh and comfortable, f rnan's face was red with heat j the perspiration was streaming -"n the faces of men and women Like. All hands ' fanned themselves, -yrp with fans, some with hats and ,vTe with newspapers or handker- aefs. ' ' .

Early lornin but Mr. McLean's friends in the Ohio delegation said he would not have it for a million. - . , Then Senator Culberson of , Texas was mentioned. As yet the principal men mentioned were Governor Dockery of Missouri, Governor Beckham of Ken tucky. John Kern of Indiana and Sen ator Daniel of Virginia. Senator Danie Reads the Platform Senator Daniel, chairman of the com mittee on resolutions, got a great greet ing when he was introduced. His voice was inaudible and he was interrupted by exasperating cries of "Louder, louder." He had not spoken more than three minutes when there were cries of ''Time, time." Chairman Clark then or dered the aisles cleared, but the bed lam continued.' Mr. Daniel went on with his report, but nobody heard him and all gave up trying to hear him. After fifteen minutes every one gave up all hope of hearing the platform, and most of the delegates will know what their candidates stand for on the stump only 'when they "fead jthe newspapers tomorrow morning." The Coliseum . sounded as though a thousand tea parties were going on in Its rreat room at the same time. From every., sectioa ..and 'from apparently every seat arose the hum of conversa tion. To this accompaniment Senator Daniel read, on and on, never stopping, never hesitating' and never heard. Ab solutely, no attention was paid to him. He might as -well have been address ing a meeting of - Patagonia ns for all his auditors knew of what he Was. say ing. . Chairman Clark made an earnest re quest at this point for silencer It was so effective that for almost sixty seconds the sound of Senator Daniel's voice could be heard thirty feet away from him. "What he said was indistinguishable, and soon the convention noises arose and swelled again with cries of "Louder, louder." Chairman Clark beat with the gavel. As Mr. Daniel proceeded with his re port, which nobody heard, the leaders of the convention discussed the avail ability of Judson Harmon of Ohio f or j vice president. While no nominee was decided upon, one very Interesting con clusion was reached not to nominate the candidate for vice president until tomorrow. Meanwhile Mr. Daniel continued to hum along with his report. It was so hot in the hall that every one took off what clothes he could, but one Califor nia delegate, stripping off coat, waist coat, collar and scarf, still retained his hat. "I fear I may be sunstruck if I expose my bald .head," he said. William F. Sheehan had not yet given up the idea of corraling Marshall Field as the candidate for vice president. It was announced as Senator Daniel drawled on that Mr. Sheehan had sent a special committee to Chicago to labor with him and 'try "to get him to retract T-oil woorl -rmtirHHlv Tinr- ing the time he read there was not one cheer, not one expression of approval for the party faith a3 formally enunci ated and set forth. : Mr. Hill said, as Mf. Daniel proceeded: "They say I can write pretty good platforms and pretty mushy ones, but that beats me." But of the character of the platform dele gates and spectators alike were igno rant. Once in awhile Senator Daniel's voice rose above the "hum of promiscuous conversation. A moment after one of these periods Senator Daniel folded up his manuscript. There was applause. Senator Daniel moved the previous question. The chairman called for the ayes and noes, and the previous ques tion, was ordered. - The platform was put to the vote. There were two nega tive votes, and when Mr. Clark an nounced that the platform was adopted there were cheers. There was no de bate on the platform. LItt:e!on Nominates Park r The crowd cheered again when the announcement was made that the roll of states would be called for nomina tions for president. E. L. Russell, for Alabama, rose and begged the privi lege of giving way ttf New York when the name of his state was called. Dele gates and spectators rose and cheered with enthusiasm- as President Martin W. Littleton of the Borough of Brook lyn forced his way to the platform and took his place to make the speech, put ting Judge Parker in nomination. The first few sentences of Mr. Little ton's speech were spoken slow and low, but the house had become quiet and almost still, so that he was heard. His voice soon grew stronger. When he said "We believe in equal strenuous ness for all, and special strenuousness for none," there was laughter and ap plause, and throughout the speech his points were caught and . appreciated. The convention paid to Mr." Littleton the compliment of keeping quiet. Its applause for him was sincere and fre quent. . It seemed to enjoy his arraign ment of President Roofvelt and never failed to grasp Mr. Litleton's p: acipal thought. There were no cries of ijouaer, I icier. At twenty-nine minutes after nine o' clock Mr. Littleton named Judge Par ker. The mention of his name was the signal for the applause that had been shown ln little puffs and bursts during the speech. The delegation from .New York Tammany men and Hill men jumped up, each one waving a great American flag. The Lone Star flag of Texas was raised above the delegates. The Michigan state banner, a purple silk and gold, was taken to the plat form. The delegates took the state names from the banner holders in which they stood. New York, Arkan sas came next, Texas, South Carolina, Maryland, New Jersey, Alaska, Con necticut, Virginia, followed quick In line. Pennsylvania and Tennessee joined the procession moving about the hall. Utah fell ln line. Between stand ing walls and cheering humanity the delegates, screaming the name of Par ker at the top of their lungs, marched the circuit of the hall. Each moment saw the tumult rise in volume, each in stant heard the cries increase. "Par ker, Parker," was the cry. The cheers changed to roars and shrieks. Cow beHs . rang in the galleries, ishrlli whistles punctuated the march. The standards of the states, borne aloft by- howling adherents of Judge Parker, made the circuit of the hall. There were men behind them, but the delegates kept their seats, preferring to howl ana yell rather than to walk. The states with favorite sons, and Il linois and Nebraska, did not move their standards and join the march. Minne sota, too, kept still. Between the standards marched mer with megaphones, The band played. Alt the end of ten minutes the exultant cries had not diminished. The dele gates, and spectators were still stand ing. The third time the procession went around it contained a new banner, a silk American flag with gold fringe, with the picture of the New Yorker. The band struck up "America." The whistlers first caught the strain. Then the cheering gradually fell Into cadences and the huge audience sang one verse of the song. The instant the band stopped the cheering recommenced. A small boy, waving frantically a flag, was raised aloft on the shoulders of the New Yorkers. The volume of sound grew greater. Adele and Evelyn Hay wood, of Julien, Mo., little girls, were hoisted up to the speaker's desk. Eah of them had a great bunch of roses. These they waved in time to the band which was nowi playing "The Star Spangled Banner." Gradually the cheering subsided as the band played, but the moment the music stopped the cheering began again. Mrs. Charles Mercer Hall, daughter of Judge Parker, sat beside Mrs. Littleton on the I stage, and smiled as she saw the waving banners and heard the rising cheers. Fifteen minutes after the demonstration began it was strong, vigorous, sincere. The state standards were carried to the front of the plat form and groupad there. In the cen ter was a great banner bearing the legend, "The People's Choice:" When ever the band played the tired en thusiasts rested a moment, but when the music ended, the cheers burst out again and again; as though the men who" uttered them had throats of iron and lungs of leather. After twenty-two minutes of unin terrupted cheering the gallerls began to weary of the din. When the noisa had somewhat subsided hisses ' were heard from some of the galleries. It was said these were packed with Hearst . shouters. When twenty-six minutes had passed, hisses and cheers were in an equal volume. The cheer ers were getting hoarse and the hiss ers had the advantage of a later start. As . the big "people's choice" picture was being, carried through the aisle it slipped off the pole and clattered down, hitting several delegates on the head. This- ended the demonstration. It had lasted twenty-nine minutes. The band played "We Wont Go Home Till Morn ing,' and Chairman Clark hammered with his gavel. The first Parker demonstration was over. ' In' the midst of the demonstration Colonel Guffey sent C. P. Donnelly of Philadelphia over to Colonel' Bryan at the head of the Nebraska delegation to . , . . , . , . . , , , , tell him that he (Guffey) had heard I that ! he (Bryan) was to put ex-Gover-1 nor Pattison of Pennsylvania in nomi-! nation and wanted an explanation. "Tell Colonel Guffey, with my com pliments," said Mr. Bryan to Donnelly, mai no man wno enters a comDination to turn the Democratic party orer to ' Is left is usurpation's bold "affront. - "Gentlemen of the convention, we as reported! ln this correspondence yes tbose who assassinated It in the last j Pull off the mask that wears the lady come (together In the historic valley of j terday, were hauled to jail last even two -campaigns Is in a position to ask " smile of pece. and see the grim and the Mississippi at a time when un-! ing. Both men are Improving, though me what I am going to do. Tell him I don't know what I am going to do." As the delegates marched by Ne- braska, cheering for Parker, Mr. Bryan turned to one of his delegates and shouted: "Protect that Nebraska stand ard; don't let them grab it." As the standards passed Mr. Bryan he noticed that no two-thirds of the states wore represented, and grinned, as he said: "They have not got enough to nominate Parker in that procession." Mr. Bryan sat quietly in his seat, and so did his fellow Nebraskans. "It's a pretty cold " demonstration,'- remarked Bryan. "Look ,at those galleries; they are asleep.". As the Michigan standard passed Mr. Bryan he said. "That state can't give Parker any electoral votes." A Michigan man shouted at him, "No; but we are going to give him votes in this convention." A Batch of S conding Speeches Quiet was restored at 10 o'clock and Arkansas yielded to Tennessee and Senator Cfarmack took the platform to make the first seconding speech. Cries of "Hooray for Hearst' interrupted Senator Carmack, and Chairman Clark's best tapping did not quiet them. Like Mr. Littleton, Senator Carmack attacked President Roosevelt and the Republican convention, which he called "a convention called together to. record the will and execute the wish of one man." Senator Carmack's allusions to Col. Bryan were ill-received in the galleries. Hisses first assailed j him, and then came cries of Bryan and a strong ef fort was made to get up a Bryan dem onstration. The noise was to disturb the convention, interrupt , Senator Car mack and delay the convention. There was no demonstration. Unlike Mr. Lit tleton, Senator Carmack found it im possible to control his audience. Moses Wright of Georgia, in second ing Parker's nomination, said: "We go to the people with a policy which knows no discrimination, north or south, east or west, but is tender in Its consideration of every section. New-, i - The Choice of the United De mocracy of the Empire State Put Forward by Martin W. Little ton of Brooklyn SL Louis, July 8. Martin W. Little ton, president of the Borough of Brook lyn, in placing before the Democratic national convention here today ' the name of Judge Alton B. Parker for the nomination for president said: "Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the convention: We do not expect here that stupid peace which smells of chlo roform. We do net wish that unctuous unanimity which springs from the un conflicting emotions of a solitary man. We, too, love the stir of a strenuous life, but we believe in equal strenu ousness for all. and special strenuous ness for none. We do not derive our power from . the souls of the mighty, but from the souls of the humble. We do not ask for Inane agreement, spring ing from faithless fires, but rather out bursts of dissension, issuing from ro bust freedom. We are not in execu tive session, but rather in committee of the whole. We were sent here by the , people , to selct a candidate, we are not sent here by the candidate to notify the people. . "Our adversaries, by dwelling ten derly on the simplicity of the lamented McKinley, managed to endure for three days the strenuosity of Roosevelt. By recounting in affectionate terms the achievements of the one, they evoked an enthusiasm -.which they immediately credited to the other. Through the tears that were shed for the noble dead they saw a larger outline of the living. Driven by lash and lured by luck, they called on all the sacred dust to keep their spirits up. Set to run for three full days, the pendulum petered out, the hands stuck fast, and onlp a stren uous shake could make the wrheels go ro'-ncl.

No organ ized! movement j was ever behind the candidacy of Judge Parker. ,The peo ple, having learned of him, trusted him and! felt an unbounded confidence In him." A Whirl for Hearst Started California was next on the list. When her iame was called D. M. Delmas. one of the greatest orators of the Pacific slope, ascended to the platform to name William Randolph Hearst. As Mr. D?!rhas worked up the crowded steps to the j platform, Colonel Bryan had his entire delegation get up on their chairs and yell. When Delmas named Hearst California's standard was raised high and j a wild yell went up. California started the march around, Iowa joined in, and then Arizona, Washington, Kansas, Rhode Island, Wyoming, Ha waii' Illlonis, Idaho, New Mexico and Nevada got in-line. From the galleries there came a thunderous lot of ap plause. The band joined in and played "The Wearing of the Green." A fine picture of Mr. Hearst was unveiled and taken to the platform. The rooters chei"ed. When the state standards were on the second trip around the hall ten minutes had elapsed. From the galler ies pictures of Mr. Hearst, bordered with yellow, were flaunted and waved. Then came a third tune from the band and ja third trip around the hall for the panr.rs. ? When Delmas ended his speech for Hearst Mr. Bryan rose to his feet and led the demonstration. After thirty two minutes of cheering and marching the Ilearst demonstration subsided. Delegate Henry! Handy of Delaware put udge George Gray in nomination, urging him as the man to carry the party to complete and final victory. W. J.

It was - the darkness of Republican eclipse, and four years hence will find them vainly looking for the light. Somehow of late the atmosphere of our national life is "filled with a spray of blood. Somehow the march of progress sounds of hammered steel.1 Somehow, although the sunlight of peace is all about us, there! is now and then the gleam of bayonets In its radiant fire, and a fla?hjbf swords Is still in force, there is a sense of failing power and growing disrespect which malies us feel that the venerable old man so to speak Is halt knd blind and burdens the stren uous I house of his grandchildren.

Spoke, but Was Not Heard By THOMAS as you are gathered here with the present breaking upon your enraptured vision .and the past filling your hearts with songs of praise and joy, you are urged by every impulse to forever sink the differences that distract and the causes that confuse. "The state of New York, hearkening to the demand from every quarter of the country, comes to you united upon one who will bring peace into our coun cils, patriotism and power 'into our campaign and successes to our contest. I say New York is united, andJn saying so I deny the charge that has been spread broadcast over the country that there is dissension. "The country called upon New York for a Democrat free from factional dis- ! Pute for a man who measured up to j the stature of this lofty place; and New orK answers witn a man wno puts against the strenuous sword play of a swaggering administration a simple faith in all the power of the constitu tion; a man who puts against an exec utive republic the virtue of a constitu tional republic; a man who puts against executive usurpation the knowledge and deep love for the poise and balance of its three great powers; a man who puts against the stealthy hunt with! the 'big stick' a faithful ob servance of constitutional restraints. If you ask me why he has been silent, I tell you it 1 Is ' because he does not claim to be the master of the Demo cratic party, but is content to be -its servant. If you ask me what his policy w-ill be if elected, I tell you that it will be that policy which finds expression in the platform of his party. "With these as some of the claims 'upon your conscience and "judgment, New York comes to you flushed with hope and pride.

We appeal to New England, faithful sentinel among her historic hflls, in the name of all her unfaltering and brilliant Democrats, living and; dead, to join lis in our la bors for success. We appeal to every Democrat jfrom everywhere to forget the bitter warfare of the past, forget the strife and anger of the older, other days; abandon all the grudge and ran cor of party discontent; and recalling with ever increasing pride the triumphs of our fifty years of a constitutional government, of liberty and peace here and now resolve to make the future record that resplendent reach of timo j in which liberty and peace went up and down the nations of the earth, building their kingdom in the hearts of men and gathering the harvest of genius and toll; in which reason struck from the hand of force the sword of hate and plucked from the heart of the war the germ of greed; in which conscience smote the thoughts of wrong and filled the mind with mercy's sweet restraint; in which power grew in the human brain, but refused the shelter of a glit tering crown;, in which the people of all lands and tongues, awakened to hope by the inspiration of our example, fol lowed with the march of years the lu minous pathway leading to a destiny beyond the reach of vision and within the providence of God.

Littleton of New York, who placed Parker in nomi nation, was a Palmer and Buckner eleo tor eight years ago. His speech waa ' -finely delivered. Nothing . aroused the convention more than when, referring to Judge Parker's silence, hej said: "The man whom I place in nomination does . not want to be master cf jthe Demo cratic party, but rather its servant. Again there was a thunder of applause " when the speaker declared that Judga . Parker had never scratched a ticket. The conclusion of Littleton's eloquent speech was made the occasion for tha wildest and most spectacular demon stration of the convention. The dele- gates were in an enthusiastic uproar) for thirty-three minutes. The flrsW spasm brought the" Parker people ta, their feet with hats in the air. Umbrel las were uplifted and many more or less wild antics were performed. The Par-' ker states got in the melee by march ing around the aisles. This lasted for fifteen minutes. North Carolina wasV at the front, the standard of the stata being borne aloft by Clyde R. Hoey, who followed New Jersey and Virginia. The foremost state flag among the marching delegates was that of North Carolina. It was immense in size and notable by the letters "N. C." In order to stop the demonstration the band played i numerous patriotic airs. At thirty minutes from the time the demonstration began the band struck a happy idea that restored quietness. "We . won't go home till morning" was started and had a sober ing effect. . j Senator Carmack was recognized to second the nomination of Parker. He was" Interrupted by shouts of "Hurrah for Hearst," and "Hurrah for Bryan." Then the Hearstltes began to his. Carmack received poor attention, but stuck it out. . No Chancs for a Southern Man Convention Hall, St. Louis, Mo., July S. Special. The "North Carolina dele gates met this morning and considered the advisability of presenting Governor. Aycock's name for the vice presidential nomination. There is the certainty that a southern man will not be nomi-' nated and some of Governor Aycock's friends ' think it best not to offer his name. The matter was left to-the chairman of the delegation, Locke Craig, and Nathaniel O'Berry of Wayne. The entire North. Carolina party put, in the day at the exposition. Most of the delegates will return home tomor row. A few have decided to remain over and see more of the big show. Th Post Dispatch printed this evening a likeness of Governor Aycock with a story booming him for the vice presi, dential nomination. The Dullest Day Yet Convention Hall, St. Louis, Mo., July,. 8. Special. It was the dullest. day of the week prior to ."the meeting of the convention at the night session. . The morning session was tame, and but for a. strong voiced speech by Richmond Pearson Hobson, was devoid of interest. The first ripple came when the dele gates began to yell for Bourke Cock ran. The Tammany orator and other leaders who were called did not respond, but Hobson liked the mention of his name and quickly responded. He en countered cheers and hisses when he praised Grover Cleveland for his settle ment of labor troubles during his ad ministration and won tremendous ap proval when he denounced the negro policy of the terrible Teddy. The unanimous adoption of the plat form without debate, which meant its endorsement by Bryan and the radicals, was' highly- pleasing to the delegates. They cheered frantically when the vots was put adopting the platform. Sena tor Tillman best expressed the situa tion when he said: "We have accomplished a miracle, we have succeeded in getting a platform without any poison in it."
