CONVENTION HALL THRoNGED
BY THOSE ANXIOUS TO SEE RACE
FOR NOMINATION.

Platform Was Adopted Unanimous
Committee Was Made by the
Chairman senator DnnieI-Great
Difficulty in Hearing Him, and
There Was Much Disorder.
st. Louis July S.-The crush of Wis
itors around the doors and inside the
convention hall at o'clock. the time
set for the opening of the convention,
was greater than at any previous ses-
sion. It was something rarely parallel
ed at any national convention. Extras
had spread the news over the town
that a nomination was to be expected
tonight. At two or three entrances
the pressure on the doorkeepers and
policemen was so great that the lines
were broken and many persons without
tickets forced their way into the hall.
The first genuine reception of the
the evening was given to Senator Hill
of New York, who made his first APP
pearance I'm the hall.
Gen. Nelson a. Miles was also pres
ent for the first time.
At o'clock there was not vacant
seat In the vast auditorium. From plat
form to topmost gallery II was packed
with delegates, alternates and specta-
tors. The heat was intense. The
aisle on the four sides OF the coliseum
were impossible.
BY the time the chairman called the
convention to order the hall was filled
to the danger line and beyond. A Sc
ries Of energetic thumps on the presid-
ing officers table was given by Chair

the hall. and soon he was in conference
with anti-Parker men.
The Parker picture was carried from
the platform and placed near New
York's position in the hall. 1t was
soon taken down. but just the instant
it was lowered the California delega-
ton displayed a Hearst picture, only
for an instant, but it was long enough
for his following among the delegates
to catch sight of it, and a ringing
shout went up. 1t kindled again the

Senator Carmack of that state was
recognized, and at once took the plat
form and began speech in second Oh

Senator Carmack had spoken but a
few words when "Hurrah tor Hearst

and some Kisses. The great body of

CONVENTIONS LATE SESSION.
NOMINATING AND SECONDING
SPEECHES HEARD.

Amid Scenes of wild Enthusiast
aud Great Disorder the Work OF
the Democratic Body Progressed.
At Times 1t Would Seem That the
Hall Was n Perfect BedIam-Fa-
vOrite Sons Named.
st. Louis, July s.-The Democratic
National Convention tonight adopted
a platform by viva voce vote and
listened to nominating speeches for
President.
Judge Alton B. Parker vas named by
MARTINI w. Littleton and William Ran
dolph Hearst by E. NJ. Delmas. Both
orators we're applauded at length.
Anti-Parker delegations attempted to
create enthusiasm for their candidate,
but the Parker men remained undis-
turbed and unconcerned. Hearst dele
gates paraded the hall, but the show
ing was small in comparison with the
Parker procession which preceded it.
FOR FAVOrlte SONS
Nominating speeches for Gray Of
Delaware and other favorite son cam
didates and seconding speeches for
both Parker and Hearst occupied the
convention for several hours. The
convention hall seats about 10000 per-
sons. but from appearances hundreds
more had been admitted until the
crowded condition of the hall endan-
gered every life.
AS soon as the convention had been
called TO order Chairman Clark an
nounced that the report of the Com
mittee on Resolutions was ready. Sen
ator Daniel read the report as chair
man of the committee. The confusion
was so great that not word could be
heard ten feet from the platform.
The great climax of the convention
the nomination Of a candidate for
President, followed Immediately on the
adoption of the platform.
A BedIam for Parker.
Alabama yielded to New York.
Mr.. Littleton's speech Immediately
pleased his audience. and when he
concluded pandemonium reigned.
A scene that recalled william Jen-
nings Bryan's nomination eight years
ago was enacted when two girls In
white sprang to the front of the plat
form and waved flowers and flags. They
were Misses Adele and Evelyn Hey
wood, of st. Louis with renewed
outbursts, the immense throng cheer
ed them until picture of Judge
Parker, on six by nine foot canvas
attracted the thunderous cheering
thousands. The cheering continued
fully twenty-five minutes. Even then
ten minutes elapsed before the chair
man dared to call the next state.
Arkansas yielded to Tennessee and
Senator Carmack seconded the nomi-
nation of Judge Parker. There was
great confusion during the speech
California, a Hearst state. was next
in order, and d. M. Delmas of that
state nominated Mr.. Hearst. The hall
was bedIapn when Mr.. Delmas con-
cluded.

st. Louis, July S.--After a contin-
uous session Of sixteen hours the Com
mittee on Resolutions perfected the
platform and adjourned just before
noon, instructing it's subcommittee to
arrange the draft for submission to the
general committee at o'clock this
evening for report to the convention
two hours later.
The platform is a compromise ac-
ceptable to all of the interests in
volved, and was adopted unanimously
by the committee. II may be said in
general TO have been concession to
the Bryan wing of the party without.
in any way, stultifying the declarations
of the conservatives. The absence Of
any pronouncement upon the financial
question is most significant, and dis
closes the utter impossibility Of finding
any declaration upon this subject ae-
ceptable to all.
During the night In the committee
room, there were many dramatic
scenes, not the least striking Of which
was the verbal encounter between Sem
ator Hill and Mr.. Bryan. II occurred
while Mr.. Bryan was engaged In max
ing one of his many attacks upon the
gold standard plank as framed by the
subcommittee. He was wrought up
TO high tension, when, approaching the
New York leader, and shaking his fin-
ger dangerously near the nose OF that
gentleman. he exclaimed. You ought

took the stand amid ringing applause
to place Judge Parker of New York in
nomination. Mr.. Littleton's manner of
speaking is calm and deliberate, and
he uses few gestures. His voice is
full resonant and of decidedly pleas
ing quality, and could be heard further
than that of any speaker who had
preceded him, with the possible eXcep-
ton of Richmond ?. Hobson.
Mr.. Littleton was given close at
tention. For the first time during the
session, there was silence in the hall,
and his fine voice suppressed the fiend
in gallery with his cry of Louder" His
speech was received with alternate
cheers and outbursts of approving
laughter.
A terrific outburst of cheering fol-
lowed Mr.. Littleto1's remark about
Judge Parker. IF you ask me why

pressing the hope that all had enjoyed a

The Mitchell people who are cock sure
that the range country will never be
settled, do not think as the large cattle
companies do in regard to this matter.
Harris Franklin of Deadwood has sold
out his range interests as he declares
that the open range has been wiped out
by the homesteader. The Driskills are
going to South America to look up new
location for the same reason. The Con-
nor Bros. of Speartish have moved their
cattle to Canada, and the Lake Toomb
outfit is also pulling out. These people
know actual conditions and are acting
accordingly, and this is stronger argu.
ment than all the Mitchell assertion to
the contrary can ever show.-Pierre
