ST. LOUIS COLISEUM THE ENTERPRISE, WILLIAMSTON. N. C. thane foU day*. tkt pendulum ps tared eat, the baada stuck lut, ud only K strenuous shake could make the whaala go round. Spiritless in the aullen task, they worked uphill the grain and grav ity of the hour. Without the maater whom they had learned to love, they lingered undefr the whip of one whom tboy have learned to fear. Stripped of premedlatated pomp and shorn of soothing phrase, the pccasion meant no more or leaa than an era of boots and apura. Take away the tribute to the dead and all that la left, la a horseman on the alopea of San Juan. Remove the reverend black that tells of a nation's grief, and underneath la a khaki uni form. Wtthold the record made by handa and hearta now atill. and all that la left la usurpation's bold account. Pull off the mask that weara the kindly amlle of peace and aae the grim and firm aat teeth of war. It was the change from aure and certain waya to the shifting, eddying currenta of the wild unknown. It was a leap In the darkneaa of Republican ecllpee, and four yeara hence will find them vainly looking for the light. It marks the place where a party. In a year's time, forsook the beaten path and went on a winding way of untraveled roads. It makee the gap between the era of the conaervatlve and the radical. It looks good now because they do not see where the old force ends and the new begins. • ••••• I • • "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 all the grudge and rancor of party dis content, and, recalling with ever-In creasing pride, the triumphs of our fif ty years of a constitutional government of liberty and peace—here and now re solve to mako the future rooord that re splendent reach of time tu which liber ty and peace went up and down the na tions of the earth, building their king dom tn the hearts of men and gathering the harvost of genius and toll; In which reason struck from the hand of fores the sword of 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 nw#et restraint; In which power grew In the human brain, but refused the shelter of a glittering crowd; In which the people of all lands and ton gues, awakened to hope by the Inspira tion of our example, followed with ths march of yearß the luminous pathway leading to a destiny beyond the reach of vision and within the provldonce of God. In this spirit, New York nomi nates for President of the l-nlted States Alton B. Parker." Mr. Littleton's speech dealt at length 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 both Hearst and Oray were well received and liberally applauded. The platform adopted deals with a number of public questions. The money question, however, waa omitted as a compromise. . DAVIS SECOND PLACE National Democratic Ticker Completed Saturday Night WAS NOMINATED BY ACCLAMATION Entire Hsrmony Prevailed at the Cloae of the Convention and All the Factions Were Satisfied FOR PRESIDENT ALTON BROOKS PARKKR of New York. For Vlce-Prealdent HKNRY Q. DAVIS of West Virginia. The above Is the ticket nominated by the Democratic National Convention at St bouts last week. The questions were all 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 2 p. m. the vice-presi dential 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 rary state of great excitement. The telegram follows: "Hon. W. f. Sheehan, Hotel JefTerson, St. bouts: "I regard the gold standard as flrm- Jy and Irrevocably established, and ihali act accordingly if the action of the convention of today shall be rati fied by the people. As the platform Is silent on the subject, my view should be made known to tbe 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 closed up and an adjourn ment reached amid much cheering.

The foregoing Is a total of 658 votes 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 aa he was returning from his cus tomary swim in the rlv#r near his home. He took the news calmly and with his usual dignity. Sunday he attended church and listened to n sermon in which a thinly veiled com pliment was paid himself. The uaual quiet still Is noticeable In all his manners. ROLL FOR VICE PRESIDENT, The roll of States was called for the pik'sentation of eandidatOE for vice president. Even at this time, tho gal leries wero less than half filled, and great areas of vacant Boats wero visi ble. Alabama was called soveral times with no response, but finally Mr. Rus sell, of that State, , announced that Aiabama would give way to Illinois. Samuel Alschuler, of Illinois, an nounced that Freeman B. Morris v/ould speak for that State. &Ir. Mor ris took thd platform to namo James R Williams, of Illinois. Chcsrs greet ed the mention of Mr. Williams' name but they did not come In great incisure from the delegates. Colorado yielded to Washington, and Chairman Clark recogniicd Fredorick 0. Robertson, of that State, who spoke for ox-Benator George Turner. Connecticut yielded to Indiana and Delegate Spencer, of that State, ssc ored the nomination of Williams, of Illinois. By this "time a report that a tele gram had been gecelved from Judge Parker, declaring Als position on the financial question, had become goneral. A crowd of delogatos hurrldly gather ed around Sheehan, of New York, and Tillman, of South Carolina. Little conferences began to occur and the orr.torg did not recolvo much attention except from tho galleries and the small fry, who did not know that a probable sensation was ripening all about them. Dele ware gave her place In the call to West Virginia, and the chair recognized John D. Alderson, of that State, who placed In nomination Henry Q. Davlo, of Wopt Virginia. A vigorous round of applause came from the delegates when Mr. Davis' name was mentioned, but little from tho gal leries. Senator Dußois, of Idaho, seconded tho nomination of Oeorgo Turner, of Washington. David Overmyer, of Kansas, placed former Senator William A. Harris, of that State, In nomination in a brief apeech from the floor. Hearst Pledges Support. Mr. Hopkins, ot Illinois, secured recognition for A. 11. LAWrence, of that State to read a telegram from the platform. The telegram was from William R. Hoarst. The reading was warmly applauded. Mr. Hearst's tele gram was as follows: "A. M. lxiwrenco, St. Louis: I wish to thank my friends for their unfalter ing support. I think I can best ox press my appreciation of their loyalty by continued devotion to tho principles of true Democracy, for which we have fought, and by loyal support of the man chosen by tho convention to lead the Democratic party. "WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST." Buriard's Bay, Mass., Special.— Former President Orovor Cleveland, who is the guest of Joßeph Jefferson, was advisod of tho nomination of Judge Parker for President as soon as he awoke Saturday morning. Later, Mr. Cleveland sent tho following statement to the Associated Press: "Mr. Cleveland declines to see any reporter or representative of the press but sends tho following word from his room to tho Associated Prosa: "1 am In absolute Ignorance of tho action of the St. Ixmls convention except in so far as It haß nominated Mr. Parker as Presdentlal candidalo. With this result I am abundantly grat ified. and I hope that the remainder of the work of tho convention will add to the encouraging prospects of Democratic success. This Is all I can possibly say 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 convention. In any event, It Is absolutely certain that no further (Wpresslon from mo may be expected at present. I hope to be relieved of further Importunity on this subject."

After tho nomination speeches for Vieo President hail all boon made and the nomlnution: duly seconded the proposition was made to place Mr. Davis on the ticket by acclamation. This action was taken. "*• The following brief sketch of Mr. Davis' life is given. Henry (Ins.iaway Davis was born in Woodstock, Howard County, Maryland, or. Novenmbor 1(5, 1823. He was rear ed and educated In Maryland, but later In life moved to West Virginia.
