Sorrow for the Thinning Ranks.

We honor the dead and respect the
Union and are filled with sorrow as
each year passes and reduces the
numbers of those who battled for lib
erty and union. The services observ.
ed generally throughout the United
States show most eonspicuously that
patriotism is not dead and that the
new generation. born since the war,
is mindful and appreciative of the ac-
complishments OF the one that is pass

take a recess until the leaders could
argue on a vice presidential candidate.
There was some opposition TO this
plan among the delegates, but at 800
p. m. Chairman Clark declared a re-
cess until 500 p. m.
When the convention recOnvened at
500 everything indicated a prompt fin
ish and early adjournment. Then fol-
lowed the episode Of the Parker tele-
gram and the long debate which re-
suited in the conciliatory reply 10
Judge Parker.
After the dispute about the Parker
telegram had been disposed of il took
only a short time TO nominate Henry
q. Davis Of West Virginia for vice
president. At 100 o'clock Chairman
Clark declared the convention adjourn
ed sine die.
Tho tired delegates left the hall as
quickly as possible and sought long de-
layed and much needed rest. Very
few of them left the city on the early
morning trains. The unhagging inter
est that had spurred them through the
long hours Of the convention permitted
the majority of the delegates to secure
but little sleep, and even after its
final adjournment the hotel corridors
were crowded with groups Of heavy
eyed and apparently thoroughly ex-
hausted politicians.
The events of the last four days
form the general topic of conversa-
ton. All who sat through the weary
sessions declare that the convention
just closed was one of the greatest
assemblages in the political history OF
the country and from the standpoint OF
physical endurance was certainly one
Of the most exhausting.
The Nomination Of Parker.
Chief Judge Alton B. Parker of the
New York state court Of appeals was
nominated at early dawn on Saturday
morning for president Of the United
States by the Democratic national con
vention. There was only one roll call.
and so decisive was the result of that
one that contrary states began to call
for recognition. and the ballot finally
resulted in a unanimous vote for the
New York state man.
The ballot for president gave Par
ker 65S votes of the 667 needed ia
nominate, and before the result could
be announced Idaho. Nevada, Wash
ington and other states made changes

The convention was in session from

my judgement is that President
Roosevelt will be defeated. 1t will

thrown overheard professions of a

should fail to be elected.

the effect of the republican platform
in demanding congressional inves-

groes are not permitted to vote, Col.
Watterson exclaimed: "You mean

by injecting this dreadful racial
problem into the contest he has in
vited inevitable defeat.
