Georgia and many other states fell In behind and with wild yells followed on. Michigan came next and her great blue banner, instead of falling into the parade of states was borne up the steps of the platform behind the chair mans desk where It was held high and waved wildly to and fro.
 l The delegates tore their state embems from the poles, and carrying them high over head tramped around the hali again and again, cheering frenziedly.
 The marehers finally passed out from the delegates seats and in among those occupied by the visitors.
 lhousandS Join in Singing.
 After the excitement had continued about twelve minutes there was percepti- ble abatement and the band struck up | America" thousands of voices joining in the singing. The Hull shortly passed away, for the band struck up Dixie" and this was as oil on the fire already | 1ercely blazing. With tremendous yell the applause started all over again.
 During the playing of the band a huge crayon bust picture of Parker was car ried up to the center aisie Just as I. reached the platform two young ladies. Misses Adele and Evaline Haywood of 1 St. Louis dressed in white and carrying mammoth boquets of roses and ferns. were assisted to the presiding officers table and the huge portrait was held for a moment between them, face to the delegates, and the state banners which had formed the procession were held aloft and massed around it.
 At the end of eighteen minutes the 1sdemonstration Began to subside, Ken lucky was the first state banner to be returned to it's proper place. The Parker portrait was taken to the l platform and turned towards the audi ence. However. there still hovered the New York delegation many enthusias- | tic shouters with their banners. The demonstration lasted twenty-five min utes
 Throughout the enthusiasm the Ne- | braska delegation, Bryan at its head, | sat the members cranIng their heads to see what was going on, but without ris- | ing. When the demonstration was at its | height MT. Bryan sent a message to some l one in the other part of the hall and | soon he was in conference with several anti-Parker men.
 The California delegation displayed a ] Hearst picture only for a instant but | following among the delegates to catch sight of 1t, | and a ringing shout went up. It kindled again the dying demonstration for Par ker. We won't go home until morning., plyed the band, and when the air was l concluded quiet was once more restored in the great hall.

 carmack Takes the Floor.
 Arkansas yields to Tennessee and with that the chairman of the delegation, Senator Carmaclx of Tennessee was recog- nized and at once took the platform and began a speech in second of the nomin- ation of Judge Parker.
 Senator Carmack had spoken only a few words when "Hurrah for Hearstp was hurled at him from the balcony, the re- mark being greeted by cheers and some l hisses
 Senator Carmack's voice did not fill the hall to the satisfaction of the galleries and he was interrupted repeatedly by cries of .louder.' But little of the sena- tors speech was heard because of his | weak voice and the noise that prevailed.
 Senator Carmack concluded his speech | at 10:15
 The galleries seized the opportunity for l a shout and disturbance reigned for some minutes, while Chairman Clark pounded l with his eayeI for order
 | "California,v called the clerk. f MT. Chairman" responded Delegate Tarpey." California recognizes as her spokesman MT. D. M. Delmas."

 MT. Delmas. who took the platform to speak for William R. Hearst could easily | make himself heard by the majority of the people in the hall.
 | He spoke calmly and enunciated clearly. His mention of the gentleman from Ne braska" called forth an enthusiastic tri- | butte.
 l When Delmas closed, the name Twill | liam Randolph Hearst was the signal for cheers, which while enthusiastic were much less in volume than those that fol- lowed the mention of Parker's name. 1 A six-foot portrait of Hearst was taken | to the platform and one of similar size was raised in the gallery back of the platform while numerous smaller DOT traits were shown upon long poles raised | from among the delegations.
