Mr.. Bryan left the convention hall a

he knew that Judge Parker was nomi-
mated. To several correspondents who
were waiting for him at his hotel he
said that he had nothing to add to

There were two sessions of the con-

The first test OF strength of the
factions in the convention came at
the afternoon session, when the re-
port of the credentials committee was
made. The majority report favored
the adoption, with one exception, of
the action Of the national committee.

Evening session.

The convention was called to order
at 5:37 p. m. for its seventh session. T..
H. Ball, of Texas, moved that nominate
ing speeches for vice president be linz
tied to ten minutes and seconding

at fifteen minutes after two o'clock,
and that incident, which heretofore
has been the signal for applause, was
entirely unnoticed.
The prominent men in the party
were conspicuous by their absence.
Hill was in conference at the South
ern hotel trying to settle upon the
nominee for the vice-presidency. Col.
Giffey, of Pennsylvania; Hopkins, of
Illinois; Daniel, of Virginia, and nu-
merous others were absent long after
the hour set for the commencement of
the days work
Chairman Clark resumed the gaveI,
and, at 2:4S o'clock, began his effort
to call the convention to order. Be
fore the formal opening of the session,
the band was signaled for a tune, as
many delegates began to arrive, maxi
ing too much confusion for the chair
to be heard. The rumor of a recess
had spread, and everyone was anxious
to know the procedure. The delay con-
tinued, however, waiting for word
from the vice-presidential conference
at the Southern hotel. The band was
utilized again for entertainment, and
got rousing cheer as it struck up

ognition for A. NJ. Lawrence, of that
state, to read telegram from the

William R. Hearst thanking his friends
for their support and indorsing the
nominee. The reading was warmly
applauded.

the nomination of Senator Francis MI.
Cockrell, ''the favorite son" candidate
from Missouri. Mr.. Bryan received the
third great ovation accorded during the
convention. His speech was an impas-
stoned appeal to the delegates to give
the party candidate who had voted
the democratic ticket in 1896 and 1900.
He spoke on behalf Of the Nebraska
delegation, which he said had no can
didate to present or favors to ask, but
wanted a candidate whose nomination
would not prove a triumph for one
faction over another. He suggested
Hearst, If the convention thought best,
then former Gov. Pattison, Of Pennsyl-
vania, and finally created a surprise in
the convention by declaring for Sena-
tor Cockrell.
One OF the features Of the long
drawn-out session had been the beauti-
full tribute paid to Senator Cockrell
when his name was placed in nomina-
ton by Representative Champ Clark.
1t was a spontaneous outburst, and for
that reason the more complimentary to
the senator. The delegates already
weary by reason of the tedious and try
ing session, paused in their labors, and
in the guise of a nomination for the
presidency which the senator's friends
knew to be beyond his reach, INDUCED
in demonstration, continuing nearly
half an hour. Nearly every delegate
and spectator in the galleries or on the
floor had been provided with flag and
the scene was far the most impressive
of all the ovations given during the
session.
The thousands of cheering persons
apparently converted Mr.. Bryan to the
belief that Senator Cockrelrs chances
of nomination were greater than other
favorite son candidates. The Nebras-
kan gained recognition soon after the
Cockrell nomination, and in speech
directed to an effort to defeat Parker,
made his electrifying plea for the anti
Parker forces to rally. He was given
the closest attention. The great con-
vention which the police and sergeant
alarms were powerless to control, list
ened as though every word were per-
