National Committeeman Clayton, OF
Alabama, and Daniels, of North caro-
lima. assisted by others, put two beau-
tiful Southern girls on the chairman
table end as the audience caught sight
OF these lovely blondes, Mr.. Clayton
said:
Chose lovely girls are types of the
superiority and beauty of the pure
white race, and the purity and SUI
premacy of the race shall be forever
preserved"
Such was the reply of the DEM
ocratic National Convention to that
scene in the Republican convention
when il gave an ovation to the white

mated at Chicago.
St. Louis Missouri, July S.
In the language of Senator Tillman,
the Democratic National convention
has accomplished miracle. Two days
ago there was not a man here VINO
ever dredmed that David Il. Hill and
VIM. Jennings Bryan would even get
together on platform utterances. AL
this moment Senator Daniels, the
chairman of the platform committee,
of them are ready and anxious TO
overwhelm the Nebraskan with anoth-
Ell demonstration surprising that OF
Yesterday One thousand delegates
is reading a report signed by both
Hill and Bryan and by every other
member of the committee.
During the session of the conven-
ton tonight another miracle will be
in all probability be accomplished
Judge Alton b. Parker will be the
Of convention and w
J. Bryan his ableSt and bittereSt an
fagonist will be as he is now, the real
hero of the great gathering. Whether
these two honorS of the convention
have been properly bestowed or not
there is no question but these are the
real results of the convention.
Twelve thousand people are IN TINS
hall at this moment and four-ffths
are getting around the standards of
their respective States ready and anX-
ious to cast two-thirds of the one
thousand votes for Judge Parker Tor
President This looks like a uniting
of forces. 1t looks like an approach
ing of q dawn of party harmony. III
Hill and Bryan can agree upon party
utteranceS, surely every Democrat IN
America can endorse their platform.
If Bryan can be the real nero ana
Judge Parker the aVowed Cleveland
candidate the nominee of the same
convention, then may we not nope ahu
hone with reasonable assurance, that
the people of America will choose
wisely between those who are willing
To surrender individual opinion and
conviction in the interest OF SANITY,
conservatism and harmony, ana the
unsafe rough riding tactics of the
Chicago Rooseveltian forces.
Other HonOrs.
There are some other nonors to be
bestowed but they will be too late Tor
this report Some of them will come in
the shape of a tribute to that untlrlng
and immovable young Democrat that
sterling. conscientious and vigorous
young American, Wm randolph
Hearst, who receives the next largest
vote to Judge Parker for the nomina-
ton. The convention is anXiously
awaiting an opportunity to honor that
much maligned but unflinching and
loyal Democratic American. But
Brooklyns oratorical cyclone, Martin
w. Littleton, has just mounted the
stand to place in nomination Judge
Parker. He looks like Bryan. Lets
see if he can speak like him.
A Great Sneecl.
The Brooklyn orator made a great
speech. He is gifted Southerner,
son of Tennessee. His speech was
frequently and generously applauded,
and at the close the Parker delegates
led in q scene of applause that lasted
for ten minutes or more.
Today's Post Dispatch prints q
large picture of Governor Aycock and
gives a good story of his fitness for
President. 1t also had a picture of
Josephus Daniels and story of his sue
cessful contempt fight i'm its account
of the election of National commit
teeman.
1t says: "Great applause for Tag
CART Campau. Mack, Daniels, Guffy
and CASTOR"
The Power of Bryan.
In the St Louis Chronicle this after
noon, II. N. Hickey, in a four column
signed article headed Bryan wins
great victory concludes thus:
1.-The fact is that Bryan got good
deal more than the conservatives
wanted to give him, and a good deal
more than anybody expected he would
get The conservatives came here, say
ing that Bryan was dead one, and
that they would give the corpse as
decent a burial as was possible in
hurry To their dismay they found
that the man from Nebraska was the
liyeliest corpse on record and that he
was far and away the most popular
delegate at the convention.
The remarkable demonstration at
Yesterdays sessions of the convention
made the conservative leaders pause.
They not only want to nominate Par
ker, but they also want to elect him
and David b. Hill is far too shrewd a
politicians to ALLEVIATE from his candi-
date the Bryan strength. The figure of
Bryan looked larger than ever and
Cancellation took the place of exterm1-
nation as the watch-word of the con-
servatives. The result of the battle in
the resolutions committee in which
BRYAN forced a hostile majority to
leave a gold plank of the platform
