Senator Carmack of that State was
recognized and at once took the plat

IEARsTs NAME PRESENTED.
Mr. Delmas' address, which closed
with the name of William Randolph
lieartSt" was the signal for cheers
which, while enthusiastic, were much
less in volume than those following
the mention OF parker'S name. A
sevcn-foot portrait picture of Hearst
was taken to the platform, another OF
similar SIZE was raised in the gallery
back Of the platform, while numerous
smaller portraits were shown on loug
poles raised from among the delcga
tionS.
The parade around the hall, which
had been carried on during the pre-
ceding demonstration, was quickly un.
dertaken, California leading Off and
Arizona, Nevada, South Dakota,
Washington and Wyoming, joining
in. The banner OF The Illinois delega-
ton was carried into the line but the
majority Of the delegation did not fol-
low it. The galleries joined Justify
in the Hearst applause, making per-
haps q stronger demonstration than
had been made for Parker
In marching around the hall many
Of the Hearst enthusiasts stopped to
shake hands with MIR. Brayan, who re-
mained standing during the early part
of the demonstration. After a severe
tit of coughing, however, MIR. Bryan
Jook his seat. The band, nothing, if
not IMPARTIAL played for Hearst,
America" and followed it up with
Dixie" as it had done for Parker,
and the result was the same, with the
exception that the Hearst people did
not attempt to sing.
A red headed eni huSiast in a gray
suit was lifted up on the shoulders of
several men to the left Of the speak
er's platform, and chcered wildly for
Hearst, but he was soon compelled TO
climb down for his bright cOlored hair
was too conspicuous target for the
multitude Of paper wads that cayae in
from all sides. Water was thrC at
him, and in few minutes he I'm
bled desperately for release. n'en
he reached the floor, he rem I'd,
That water felt good" but We
cined to give his name.

editor candidate went on, rising and
falling in degree. Fully dozen times
tie line completed the circuit, and
then the California banner was car
ricd up to the Speakers platform and
the other States mas ;ed their emblems
at the foot OF the steps. A young
woman rose up in section l. and waved
a small flag.
She brought to her side 80 other
people who joined in her tribute, and,
for time, She was the heart Of the
storm centre. When she sat down
the end began to cone, 30 minutes
after the first cheering began
When a half hour had elapsed, Sen.
ator Bailey OF Texas took the presid-
ing otiicer'ss chair, and began rapping
for order, but 1t wa, some time before
order could be had. Many Of the del
eEateS and Others began to hiss In dis
approval but this only served to spur
on the Hearst rCOterS and a battle OF
sound enSued.
The State OF Colorado" called the
clerk The response was immediate
and Thomas O'Donnel began speech
Seconding the nomination OF Judge
Parker. The height Of exhaustion
prevailed as Mr.. O'Donnell proceeded,
and approval of his utterances was
confined To his handclappipg
When Mr.. O'Donnull referred in
mplimcntary terms to ''the great
leader Of the past two campaigns, ~
there was demonstration in which
the name OF Bryan was heard above
the uproar.
He invited the "prodigal who had
been feeding on huSkS" back into the
fold, for he said, we need all kinds
of Democrats in this campaign" His
mention Of parker's name was greeted
with shouts and applaused. Colo |

York; he concluded, and the echo
comes back Parker, popular rights
and victoryn"
After tie applause which followed |
O'Donnell's conclusion, Connecticut was
called and Walter S. Cummings sec

Many OF the spectators began leav-
