favorite o candidates. The Nebrsc-
kan gained recognition soon after the
Cockrell nomination, and in a speech
directed to an effort to defeat Parker,
made his electrifying plea for the anti
Parker forces to rally. He was given
the closest attention. The great con-
vention which the police and sergeant
alarms were powerless to c%ontrcl,, list
ened as though every word were a per-
sonal message to each person, as il a
hypnotic spell had been cast over the
throng. But when it was all over, the
Parker forces had not been shaken.
The ballot for president gave Parker
65S votes out of the 667 needed to
nominate, and before the result could
be announced, Idaho, Nevada, Wash
ington and others made changes TO the
Parker column. Gov. Dockery Of Mis-
souri, moved to make he nomination
unanimous and it carried, amidst in
creasing cheering The result of the
ballot was never announced officially
and 1t is not likely that 1t aver will
be.
The convention took a recess yester-
day until eight o'clock last night for
the purpose Of receiving the report of
the committee on resolutions. The re-
port was received and adopted by a
viva voce vote. So far as surface in
dications were concerned, there was
no more opposition TO the platform
than there had been to that adopted
unanimously by the republican conven-
ton in Chicago a few weeks ago. Nom
nations were Immediately proceeded

Alabama yielded to New York, and

sented to the convention. After that
Hearst, Gray, Cockrell, Wall, Will
Jams, Olney and Miles were named in
speeches which took nearly the entire
night. In the end, all the claims Of

forthcoming. The speeches which had
been cheered so long and loud had

st. Louis, July 10.-Chief Judge AL

court Of appeals was nominated at
about fifteen minutes to six o'clock this
morning for president of the United
States by the democratic national on
vention. But n roll call, and SO de-
cisive was the result of that enc that
contrary states began to call for rec
ognition and the ballot finally resulted
in a unanimous vote for the New York
state man. The scene was dramatic
in the extreme. Darkness had wit
messed the gathering of the democratic
hosts, while broad daylight, the sun
paling the electric light, witnessed the
close.
The convention was In session from

Evening Session.

| The convention was called to order
at 5:37 p. m. for its seventh session. T.
H. Ball, of Texas, moved that nominal
| ing speeches for vice-president be linn
tied to ten minutes and seconding
| speeches to five minutes, not more than
three speeches to be allowed any can
didate. This was agreed to.
Alabama being called, Delegate e. La
Russell yielded the floor to the state of
Illinois. F. P. Morris, of that state,
placed in nomination Congressman ].
R Williams.
Arkansas being next called, Gov. JEFF
Davis responded: Arkansas has no
candidate, but she has votes in No
vember to deliver to the nominee of
this convention"
When Colorado was reached Delegate
T. j. O'Donnell announced that his
state yielded the floor to the state of
Washington. The chair thereupon pre-
scented to the convention Frederick G..
Robertson, who nominated Senator
George Turner.
Delegate Spencer, Of Indiana, second
ed the nomination CT Williams.
Delaware yielded to West Virginia
and John D. Anderson of the latter
state nominated Henry G. Davis, say
ing, among other things:
when I went through the state of
West Virginia in 1896 and 1900 along
with our gallant standard-bearer, the
matchless Bryan, we found Henry G..
Davis, fellow democrats, although he
had worked his way up through an
honest life to a position Of influence
among the people, WI found him as
sisting us, his shoulder to the wheel
always. And it is no reflection upon a
man, 1 take ii, in afdemocratic conyen-
ton, to say that he nc only W
scratched a ticket, but he
dreamed of doing So"
The states Of Florida and Georgia,
upon being called by The clerk, were
passed, and Idaho being called. Senator
Fred T. Dubois of that state seconded
Turner's nomination.
The clerk then called the states OF
Illinois, Indiana and Iowa. without re-
ceiving any response. Kansas was next
called and the chair recognized David
Overmeyer, who nominated Senate.
William A. Harris. Of Kansas
For Maryland John Prentice Poe
took the platform and seconded the
nomination of Mr.. Davis OF West Vir-
ginia.
Senator William A. Clark, Of Mon
tana, was the next to speak. He first
paid q high tribute TO the west, and
then seconded the Turner nomination.

III FOURTH


st. Louis, July 9.-The effect of last
nights protracted and harassing ses-
sion was plainly evident when the
hour arrived to which the recess had
been taken. Chairman Clark was not
present. Not over three hundred del
egates were in their seats and the gal
leries showed more empty chairs than
visitors. The ~pyrotechnics were over,
the red fire dying out, the curtain was
about to descend and the general in
terest in the proceedings was compare
lively gone.
For the first time since the converar
toned opened it was possible to walk
the aisles without treading upon the
feet of other people and fighting for
a passageway. The chairman arrived
at fifteen minutes after two o'clock,
and that incident, which heretofore
has been the signal for applause, was
entirely unnoticed-
The prominent men In the party
were conspicuous by their absence.
Hill was in conference at the South
ern hotel trying to settle upon the
nominee for the viee-presidency. Col.
Guffey, OF Pennsylvania; Hopkins, Of
Illinois; Daniel, of Virginia, and HUI
meroGs others we're absent long after
the hour set for the commencement OF
the days work
Chairman Clark resumed the gavei,
and, at 2:4S O'Clock, began his effort
to call the convention to order. Be
fore the formal opening of the session,
the band was signaled for a tune, as
many delegates began to- arrive, max
ing too much confusion for the chair
to be heard. The rumor of q recess
had spread, and everyone was anxious
to know the procedure The delay on
tinued, however, waiting for word
from the vice-presidential conferences
at the Southern hotel The band was
utilized again for entertainment, and
got a rousing cheer as it struck up
Dixie"
Rev. John T. M. Johnson, pastor of
was introduced and pronounced the
invocation.
Gov. Dockery was recognized at the
conclusion of the prayer and read a
telegram from Senator Cockrell.
Mr.. Hopkins, of illinois, secured rec
ognition for A M. Lawrence, of that
state, to read a telegram from the
platform. The telegram was from
William r. Hearst thanking his friends
for their support and indorsing the
nominee. The reading was warmly
applauded.

past all has been excitement were de-

THE OAK CHESTS.

Accustomed from my infancy TO

gloomy rooms and corridors Of Hol-

ihat was familiar with every nook
and corner OF the old mansion.
But my mind was considerably eyer-
ciscd in the eadeavor TO determine the
wherea bouts OF the two oak chests TO
which my father had referred in his
conversation with uncle sam. l did
not remember having ever seen any
such chests and could think OF no
place from garret 10 basement which
| considered likely 10 contain them.
These thoughts-much confused
with idle speculation concerning
my uncle whose acquaintance
had just made. Of my aunt
whom had not yet seen. and Of
various ideas started by the converse:

awake until long after I had retired to

for relieving my father Of what l

opened interminable frains Of thought.
At last l lost consciousness. but die
not sleeD soundly nor for long.
When 1 rose ii wanted some minutes

Well" said uncle Sam. when my
father had finished speaking, Il guess
YOUR grafton would be worth a cool
million to the Republican party. You
must visit the States and tell the
Americans from a hundred platforms
all you have just told me. You must

MY father shook his head. "I am no
traveller" he said, "or I should have
ventured beyond Europe nineteen
years ago." again turning toward me
and assuming the kindly expression
which was never absent from his feat
ures when he regarded his son. "The
affairs of my own country engage very
little of my attention, and as for. the
United"
"Well, WELL" interrupted uncle Sam.

which he had asked.

We'll. do you propose that he should

than the cost Of production when they
