Colonel Ingersoll had been In slted by the
Illinois delegation to the national Republi-
can convention to present In nomination
for president the name of Walter Q Ores

Colonel Ingersoll smiled at the question and
dictated his answers to his sienographer.

JOHN BRADY AGAINST THURMAN


ST. LOUIS, June Notwithstanding the
fact that the Ohio delegation received the
Indiana men last night with open arms but
with the cold consolation that Judge Thur
man must and would receive the forty-siX
votes of the Buckeye state as a unit, it WAS
anybody's fight this morning. The dele
CATION went into a prolonged session dur
ing the afternoon and passed resolution
after resolution of endorsement but
still there were members who would not
fall in line. Mr.. Robert b. Lee held back
a long time and it required the adoption of
unit rule to lead him from his oppoSi-
ton No sooner had this rule been adopted
than John Brady was on his feet. He said
Gentlemen, you may adopt any rule you
like, but | came from Cincinnati to oppose
Thurman. You may throw me- out of this
caucus or intimate that my presence is
not needed and l will stay out, bnt never
theless | will go to the convention and take
my seat as q delegate, and when the state
is called | will vote against Thurman"
This determination caused confusion
and there were dire threats made, but to
no purpose. Finally a resolution was
adopted releasing Mr.. Brady from the
binding unit rule. In conversation he was
more cautious but still the strong opposi-
ton showed itself in his remarks. Il Will
do my fighting in convention. but when /
cannot WIN there | will 60 home as | have
done many times before, and during the
campaign will work and fight just as hard
for Democracy as ever before" John
Brady Is one of the stauncheSt adherentS
of the Payne-McClean faction.

HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, June 5.-After routiue
business the house went into committee of
the whole on the tariff bill, debate on the
pending clause, "Wood manufactured not
especially enumerated or provided for"
Upon expiration of the debate Mr..
Rayne's motion to strike out the para
graph, ''Sawed boards. planks and all
other articles of sawed timber" was con-
sidered Mr. Molfett of New York. MIR
Howard of Indiana, and Mr.. Kelley of
PENNSYLVANIA, renewed the attack on the
lumber schedule.
Mr. Mills, of Texas, called attention to
the fact that Canada imposed a tariff on
sawed lumber. and asked why it was if
tariff on sawed lumber meant high wages
it did not bring high wages in Canada as
well as here.
Mr.. Motif moved to strike out the para
graph. The motion was rejected.
The clerk read next the clause of the
free list, 'hubs for wheels, posts, last
blocks, wagon blocks, oar blocks
heading blocks and all like
sawn," which Mr.. Bayne moved to strike
out. He said he had heard the St Louis
platform would straddle the tariff ques-
ton he predicted, although the Demo
Gratis banner would read "ClevelBnd and

Mr. Nebber of New York. as commen-

Of wood was next considered. After long
discussion Mr.. Buchanan. of New jersey,
offeled an amendment adding the words

Mr.. Bayne, of Pennsylvania, remarked
the democrats did not appear to gather
much satisfaction from personal conven-
tion bulletins, and he therefore read a
number OF kilograms showing the Repub-
hcan gain in Oregon.
MIR. Lawler, of Illinois, replied
by reading clipping from
an Oregon newspaper denouncing
high tariff as humbuggery An amend

BIG PROCESSION.

ST. LOUIS, June "a gorgeous parade
of fully 10000 uniformed Democrats in
procession was witnessed tonight by peo-
pie IN such numbers they could be esti-
mated only by hundreds Of thousands.
The procession started at an early hour
and at 1910 was still moving. Before the
march began Olive street, the thorough
fare leading to the convention hall, was
damned for over mile on pave
ment, sidewalk, cutters and stair
ways, with such solid mass of human
beings as perhaps never before gathered
in any American city Atshort intervals
the entire distance great arches of fame
lit UP the scene, making the long vista a
spectacle OF surprising brilliancy. The
street was only cleared sufficiently for the
procession by pounding passage through
the mob with trains of cable cars. W lid
enthusiasm was evoked everywhere by the
display of Thurman bandanas among the
marcherS First in the line came the
grand marshal, Colonel John /. Martin, and
staff, followed by the first batilliOn of the
Missouri national guard and the Marina
duke guards of Kansas City. A great post
of local mi-mllitary..fraternala associations
next appeared, while in the succeeding dl-
vision contained political marching organ
iZationS by the score including Tammany,
the Hendrick association of st. Louis, the
Cleveland club Of Ohio, the Randall club
of Pennsylvania the Duckworth club of
Cincinnati, the Cook county Qllinois) DEM
ocratic club, the Irroqois club of Chicago,
and the Hawkeye club of Burlington,
Iowa.
The next division contained a great
number of similar organizations. particu-
larry the Kansas City Democrat club, 500
strong, and the Topeka fiambeau clubs OF
Kansas.
More marching clubs each with a band of
music but nearly all local St. Louis associ
ations formed the bulk of the fifth division,
while the sixth contained what was one of
the features of the procession, a large
body of union soldiers. A magnificent
display by the ST. Louis fire department
wound up the parade.
