The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1900-07-07

dS All times difficult and late in the
evening impossible. This morning the
police and ergeants-at-arms started in
with great vigor to prevent any repetition
of The disagreeable f.atur,s of yes terday's
second session, and for a considerable

Ike pers
Sulzer was the first vice presidential
cahdioate to appear in the hall, and his
arp arance seemed to excite very little
interest. He came down the aisle from
the delegates door coat thrown open
hat jammed hard down on the back of
his head, his tail form towering over a
small Ohio lagate al his side, across
whose shoulders his arm was caressiug-
ly thrown ard into whose ear he talked
with great energy.
Al 10:45 clock Chairman Richardson
advanced 10 the front of the platform a
great bouquet OF sweet peas in his hand,
with sweep of the gavel he cut off the
iairs of the band slowly stilled the
confusion and brought the convention to
order for its third days work. But it
was some mirut,s before there was suf-
hcient quiet for the opening invoca ion,
and then the great audience arose while
Rev. Rabbi Mayer of Kansas City deliv-
eIed a prayer breathing the sense of re-
sponsibiligy resting upon the convention.
Rabbi Mayors Prayer.
Rabbi Harry H. Mayer offered prayer
as follows: &c Our Heavenly Father,
father to all mankind, Thou who are nigh
unto all who call upon Thee in truth, We
invoke Thy name to-day with the thrill
and the thraH of stirring scenes and
strong emotions upon US that we may
profess before Thee the conviction of our
hearts that, unless Thou art with us, we
labor in vain. We could remind our
selves that Thou art arbiter over us in
life and in eternity. We thank Thee for
the ways in which Thou hast used us as
the instruments OF Thy providence. We
thank Thee for the many worthy men
Thou hast raised up in leadership over us.
O bless them and all those who labor for
the establishment Of wise government and
just laws.
Make us to rejoice not in the largeness
of our domain, but in the spread of truth
and justice. Make us to perceive more
and more clearly our duties toward those
who stretch forth unto us their helpless
hands in piteous appeal for that succOr,
which we as common children of the All
Father dare not deny them.
May every good enterprise that invites
our service find us ready to enrol our
selves in its cause. May we be free from
bitterness toward those who hold opin-
ions that clash with ours May loyalty Ia
principle be accounted unto us and unto
all men for righteousness whenever the
desire is manifested to defend the right,
to defy the wrong. If intolerance shall
continue on earth, let it be directed not
oiv,et of in
but against the falsehood end ignorance
that have overmastered them.
Thou, o Lord, hast lifted up an en-
sign to the nations from afar and hast
called for one of them from the end of the
earth. May 1t come with speed swiftly,
not to blight but to bless, but the parti-
ton walls of party affiliation and racial
aff1nities dividing men against themselves
may be leveled and kindness rule every
where and always. o may there be none
weary nor stumbling among its men. We
ask it for the sake of Thy name. Amen
Nominations In Order.
Immediately following the prayer the
call of states began for the purpose of
making nominations for the vice presi-
dency. Great contCs on prevailed, and very
few of the delegates were aware of what
was going on until Alabama and Arkansas
had been passed and California was call
ed. Then the doughty form and face OF
Senator White emerged from the Califor-
mans, and in stentorian tones he demand
ed TO know what was going on and that
the aisles be cleared of the disorderly in
truders. When the chairman responded
that California was being called for NOM
nations, Senator White announced that
California yielded to Arkansas.
Arlz Yields IN Illinois t0 place
in nomination Adlai E. Stevenson of Illi-
nos," shouted Jeff Davis, the Democratic
candidate for Governor of Arkansas,
standing on chair and receiving a cheer
for his mention of Stevenson. Now all bus
ness was suspended, as the confusion had
become so overpowering that the call OF
the secretaries was inaudibie above the
roar. The police and ergeants-at-arms
struggled vainly TO dispossess the mob,
which was now well nigh in control of the
floor. Men fought to retain their places
and some exciting encounters, which at
times threatened to precipitate a fght un-
der the eyes of the multitude occurred.
1t took fifteen minutes to restore some
semblance of order and then the spokes-
man for Illinois, Representative James
Williams presented the name of Steven
son.
Nominated Stevenson.
