BRYAN WOULDN'T STAY ABED
Disobeying His Doctor He Appears in the
Convention to Fight.


Before the reading there was bitter
criticism of Judge Parker for having
kept the convention in ignorance of
his views until this juncture. Hill re-
piled to this by saying that everybody
knew Judge Parker's views. After the
reading the flood of oratory broke. Till
man opened and was not slow to eX-
press his anger at the Parker telegram
He admitted that it was manly, but
said it should have been sent earlier.
While Tillman was speaking Bryan,
having heard of the trouble, and throw
ing his DOCTORS advice to the winds
sick, weak, hoarse, with fever in his
blood-appeared in the hall. Instant
ly there was an uproar and Bryant
bryan" was the cry.
When Tillman concluded Bryan
rose. His face was pale and drawn
with illness; his voice was weak and
hoarse. He spoke with great effort,
but quietly and with self-control. AS
the speaker went OH his voice grew
stronger and clearer, and as he mar
rated the story of his efforts TO secure
the insertion in the platform OF tinan-
cial plank. the flush of excitement Gov
cred his face and his gestures became
more frequent and more emphatic.
His speech was a protest against an
attempt of the candidate TO write that

triedto find out where Parker stood,
and that instead OF everybody knowing
it not even David Il. Hill knew it, for
Hill had denied knowing it when
asked by Bryan in the resolutions COM
mttee. Bryan wanted to know, adj
hitting that the gold standard was
iXed-which he denied--what Park
er's position is on reducing the volume
of silver, asset currency; branch ma
tional bank, and national bank curren-
cy as against United States notes and
said he would offer an amendment to
the reply to that effect.
Bryan spoke twice. He said Judge
Parkers action was manly, but it
would have been manlier to have
spoken edrlleT. JONI w. IHIllel spOhc
in support of Parker, and John Sharp
Williams closed the debate, which had
been on the sending of the proposed
reply to Parker's telegram. When he
had concluded Bryan rose and said he
would withdraw his amendment to the
reply and stated that Nebraska would
support any candidate New York want
ed for vice president. This brought a
roar Of applause and the roll call on
the reply was ordered, resulting in ia
vor of the reply-774 to 191.
The order of business then went back
to the roll call on vice president, which
was ordered, resulting - Davis, 654 /;
Turner. 100; Williams, 1861 Harris, 5S.
A motion TO make it unanimous for
Davis carried, the usual compliment
airy resolutions were adopted and the
Democratic national convention Of
1904 adjourned sine die
Just before the convention adjourned
Chairman Clark and Temporary Chair
man Williams were made respective
ly chairmen Of the committees to notify
Parker and Henry G.. Davis of their
nomination. 1t was also announced
that the new national committee
would meet i'm New York on a date to
be fixed by the chairman.

what was 10 be done.
However, il wasn't until 9:30 that
those who had been in conference over
the Parker telegram appeared on the
floor, and some time later before the
telegram and the reply thereto agreed
upon was read. The telegram was adj
dressed TO Sheehan and said:

ly and irrevocably established, and
shall act accordingly If the action OF
the convention of today shall be rati-
fed by the people. AS the platform

Harassing Rumor Is Current.
PARKER Is SILENT No LONGER
He Sends to- the Convention what May BE
Called ali UItimatum.


These rumors were sufficient to pack
the Coliseum when the convention
came to order after the recess, every
body agog for a sensation, and it came
in due time. During the intermission
the leaders had got together and de-
cided that Henry G.. Davis, of West
Virginia, was the man for vice presi-
dent. When nominations were called
for Davis: George Turner, of Wash
ington; James II. Williams, of Illinois,
and William A. Harris, of Kansas,
were put in nomination, ten minutes
being allowed for each speech.
The chairman was just about to or
der the roll call on vice president when
about { y. m. South, of Arkansas, rose
with a motion to adjourn to = p. IN.
in view of the rumors that were dis
turbing the convention. The chairman

IGNITION and declared that for reasons
which are obvious to all the delegates
here il seems to me that we ought not
to proceed at this time TO nominate a
candidate for vice president. He
therefore moved "A recess to u. m,
which was agreed TO amid the greatest
confusion and excitement, CulbertsOn
having intimated that the presidential
nominee might vacate the head of the
ticket.
The delegates did not leave the hall,
but collected i'm conferences and lin

know what il was all about. This de-

Only Parker Can Keep Him from Being
National Committee Chairman. 1s>ss--s
ST. Louis, July 1.-THE new nation
al Democratic committee met at 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon with the
avOwed intention on behalf of the sup
porters Of Taggart, of Indiana, Of or
ganiZing by electing him chairman, but
complications arose. Chairman Jones,
Of the old committee, boldly asserted
that such action as was contemplated
would be Unprecedented, and in fact
illegal. 1t also turned out that at a
late hour the convention adopted a res
olution authorizing Chairman Jones, Of
the old committee, TO call the new
committee together in New York city at
such time as he might suggest.
Colonel Guffey insisted that prece-
dent demanded that the committee
courteously await Judge Parker's opin-
ion. I'm fact he said, the resolution
Of last night precluded any action until
Chairman Jones issues call for New
York" Senator Bailey said that the
matter should be settled at once. 1t
was customary for the committee to
meet Immediately after the adjourn
ment and elect, and resolution was
passed last Thursday to that effect by
the convention.
After nearly two hours Of debate
Bailey offered to compromise if the
committee would adopt resolution in
dorsing the candidacy of Thomas Tag
CART. for chairman Of the committee.
Mack, Of New York, agreed to this and
the resolution was adopted. The COM
mittee will therefore met i'm New York
on the call of cX-Chairman Jones.
The national Committeeman voting in
favor of the resolution either personal
ly or by proxy numbered thirty-nine,
and included New \ ork. Illinois, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan,
Iowa, and all the southern states-in
fact every state whose representatives
on the committee had not left for home.
