lery enthusiasm for W. R. Hearst.
Missouri cheered her favored son,
Cockrell, for 20 minutes, waving thou
sands of flags, as If by appeal to patri-
otism she sought to stampede the cast
ern delegates from the man of their
choice The climax came at four
o'clock in the morning when w. j.
Bryan arose and for an hour played
upon the emotions of the galleries as
a musician would sweep the keys of
great organ. He made an appeal for
Cockrell, but all In vain. But the i'm
FASHIONED oratory, the tornadoes Of
cheers, the marching of frantic dele
gates, the waving of flags and ban
ners and the flare of bands all went
for naught. A two-thirds majority of
the delegates had entered the conven-
ton hall determined to nominate Alton
B. Parker, and they were not to be
stampeded from their firm resolve.
But one roll call ensued and so de-
cisive was the result Of that one that
contrary states began to call for recog-
milton and the ballot finally resulted
in unanimous vote for the New York
state man. The scene was dramatic
in the extreme.
The convention was in session from
eight o'clock Friday night until nearly
six o'clock Saturday morning. In that
time eight names were presented to the
convention. Nominating and second
ing speeches innumerable were made,
and as dawn appeared 1t became neces-
sary to limit the seconding speeches
to four minutes each. An extension
was made in the case of Mr.. Bryan,
who supplied one of the most dramatic
situations ever witnessed in political
convention.
On the first and only ballot Parker
received 65S votes: William R. Hearst,
2O4; Francis M. Cockrell. AZ; Richard

after midnight the convention on the
first ballot nominated Henry G. Davis,
