Meanwhile the confusion continued to
be so great in the hall that even after
Chairman Richardson recognized Cover
nor Thomas, Of Colorado, to second the
nomination of Mr.. Towne, not a WORD OF
his speech could be heard by ether dele
gates or people in the galleries.
Finally after Governor Thomas had been
speaking for a minute former Senator
White went to the stand, and in a ringing
voice said that if order was not restored
he would move that the galleries be
clearede.
When the State Of Delaware was called
the announcement was made that the
State would yield to New York. Then the

LAST DAYS WORK OF CONVENTION.
Hills Refusal of the domination Followed by
the Naming of Stevenson.

Convention Hall, Kansas City, July G.
The final day of the Democratic National
convention broke clear and hot. The sun
blazed pitilessly down through the same
brilliant sky that has marked every
day of the convention week and the
cioudless blue sky gave no promise of re-
lief from the intense heat.
But the grateful wind which has saved
the week from being intolerable did not
forsake the sweltering crowds today. 1t
swept in through the great window at
the south end of the hall, futtered the
bunting and flags and famed the vast
crowds.
An hour before the convention hall was
opened dense crowds were packed around
the various entrances and hundreds more
we're coming on every thoroughfare that
afforded access to the hall. Within 80
minutes after the floors were opened the
galleries were all occupied, and still the
crowds around the entrance and in the
streets had suffered no diminution.
Yesterday the hall was sOlidly packed,
and it was at times impossible to move
around upon the floor, one fourth of the
delegates was unable to see the chair
man and the other three-fourths of them
could hear nothing uttered from the plat
form.
CONVENTION HALL TANNED.
The aisles We're choked up to a degree
that was dangerous and passage through
them was at all times difficult, and late
in the evening, impossible. This morn
ing the police and sergeant-at-arms start
ed in with great vigor to prevent any
repetition Of the disagreeable features of
yesterdays second session and for a con-
siderable time met with success, but
they were gradually overwhelmed and
made comparatively helpless by the heavy
crowds that were allowed to pass by the
gate keeper.

candidate to appear in the hall and his

TEN CENT COTTON.

Niddlino cotton has reached II cents
in New York.
Though this is the highest price
paid for nine years past, and fully 4
cents more than the price in June
one wear ago, indications are that Il
still higher price may yet be realized
It is now certain that the increase
in acreage devoted to cotton is not as
GREAT as was al. first believed. Though
it was undoubtedly the purpose OF the
Southern farmer to plant a large cot
ton crop. he has been baked in lis
purpose. Before the crop was plant
ed. all the preparations. such as the
purchase of fertilizers and of mules.
the clearing up of the ground ana
such like indications, pointed to a
good increase in acreage; but the
seasons have o been favorable.
\ backward spring made planting
late. and even after the seed We're in
the ground cold wet nights caused
them to be slow and irregular in com
inc up. In some sections many Of
them were washed out of the ground
by heavy rains This damage was
to some extent repaired by replanting,
but it must be admitted that these
u~nfavorable conditions Gesulted in
decrease in the acreage contemplated.
After the crop was up the heavy
rains continued, either delaying
work or preventing it altogether, so
that the crop was soon badly in the
grass. Through April, May, June. and
now on into July these rains have con-
tinued to fall until much acreage has
been abandoned in some of the cotton
States.
As a result Of these unfavorable
conditions. eaElier estimates OF H.
900. 900 bales yield for the growing
crop are now regarded as much too
high.
Another equally powerful influence
that will operate in fixing the price
of cotton is the fact that the reserve
stock at the end OF the present sea
son will be the smallest in years.
Ellison is on record in his latest cir
cular as saving that there will be at
least 1850. 900 bales less at the ports
and mills Of the world than existed at
the opening of the current season, OF
which deficit q new crop OF 11,5OO,OOC
will be insufficient to supply more
than about one-third.
These indications point to a high
range of prices during the coming
season. With a deficit in the reserve
stock there will necessarily be a
strong demand for the new crop to
supply pressing needs, thus bringing
the consumer and producer nearer to
gether. and putting in the hands OF
the latter the dictation of prices.
The situation in the manufacturing
branch is however, so encourag-
.ng as would naturally be expected il
view of the advance in raw material

This is the only bear feature in the

FOR yICE-PRESIDEN1

anpearance seemed 10 excite very little
interest. He entered the aisle from the
delegates door. coat thrown open. hat
damned hard down on the back of his
heal. his tall form towering over a
small delegate at his side. across whose
shoulder his arm was carelessly thrown,
and into whose ear he talked with great
energy.
THE SESSION OPENS.
At 1915 Chairman Richardson adTanc-
ed to the front of the platform. a great
bouquet Of sweet peas in his hand, with
a sweep of the gavel cut off the sttai!5
of the band. slowly stilled the confession
and brought the convention 10 order loT
it's third days work. But It was some
minutes before there was sufficient lLiet
for the opening Invocation, and then the
great audience arose while Rev. Rabbi
Mayer of Kansas City, delivered a Pray
er breathing the sense o. responsibility
resting upon the convention.
ROLL CALL Of STATES BEGINS
Immediately following the prayer the
call of States began for the purpose Of
making nominations for the vi~ce-presi-
dency. Great confusion prevailed and
very few Of the delegates were aware of
what was going on until Alabama and
Arkansas had been passed, aud California
was called. Then the rough form ard
face Of Senator White emerged from the
Californians and in stentorian tones Ge-
manded to know what was cong on and
that the aisles be cleared of the disorder
ly intruders. When the chairman Ic-
sponded that California was being called
for nominations, Senator White a%nnounc-
ed that California followed Arkansas.
And Arkansas yields to Illinois, to
place in nomination Adiai e. stevenson
of Illinois," shouted Jeff Davis, the Lem
ocratic candidate for Governor o. ar
kansas standing on a chair and receiv-
ing q cheer for his mention Of Stevenson.
Now all business was suspended and TIE
confusion had become so overpoWerlng
hat the call of the secretaries VAS inau-
dible above the roar. The police and SCI
geants-at-arms struggled vainly to dis
possess the mob, which was nov Well
nigh in control of the floor. Men fought
to retain their places and some exciting
encounters which at times threatened to
precipitate a fight under the ewes of the
multitude. 1t took fifteen minutes IL re-
store some semblance of order and then
the spokesman for Illinois. Representa-
tive James Williams presented the name
of Stevenson.
