THE,
bust picture Of Parker was carried UP
the center aisle. Just as 1T reached |
the platform two young ladies, the
Misses Adele and Evaline Haywood OF
st. Louis, dressed in white and carry
ing mammoth bouquets of roses and
ferns, We're assisted to the presiding
officers table, and the huge portrait
was held for moment between them,
face to the delegates, and the state
banners that had formed the pro-
around it. Rhythmic shouts OF
Parker. Parker. Alton B. Parker"
were started and caught up.
AT the end of eighteen minutes the
demonstration began to subside.
There still lowered around the New
York delegation many enthusiastic
shouters. At the expiration Of TWEEN,
ty minutes efforts were made to still
the demonstration. A megaphone
shout near the platform was begun
for Parker, Parker, Alton B. Park
err" however, and things again broke
loose. The demonstration lasted
twenty-five minutes.
Turnout the enthusiasm, the Ne
braska delegation, Bryan at It's head,
sat, the members craning their heads
to see what was going on, but without
rising.
Senator Carmack Of Tennessee Sec
onded the nomination of Judge Far
ker.
He had spoken only a few words
when "Hurrah for Hearst was hurled
from the balcony. The remark was
| greeted by cheers and Kisses. A few
other calls of a like character were
made in the galleries, but the conven-
| ton disapproved with energy.
Demonstration for Hearst.
! Senator Carmack finished at 1915.
The galleries seized the opportunity
utes while Chairman Clark pounded
| for order.
E. M. Delmas of California was rec
ognized and a volley Of cheers came
from the audience, Mr.. Bryan leading
it by standing up and waving a small
American flag.
Mr.. Delmas, who took the platform
to speak for William r. Hearst, while
not possessed Of a voice Of the strong
carrying qualities of Mr.. Littleton's,
could easily make himself heard. He
spoke calmly and enunclated clearly.
His mention Of the gentleman from
Nebraska" called forth an enthusiastic
| tribute. He said:
For the first time in history, California
presents as candidate for the great Of
fee of chief executive of the republic
one born and reared upon her soil. She
bespeaks your Indulgence while she sets
forth the motives which animate her hopes
and the claims which justify the aspira-
tons Of her son.
Do you want as your nominee a man
whose past political career stands as an
assurance Of victory in the future?
Californa's candidate Is no stranger to
public life. He is today the representa-
tive ir the congress of the imperial state
which Is now his home. To the real1za-
ton Of your hopes the vote Of that state
Is indispensable. Without New York it
is confessedly idle to look for victory
next November. Can he carry New York?
Let the experience of the past answer.
Less than two years ago he ran for con-
gress in district, which, the year be-
fore, had given the democratic nominee
for mayor Of Greater New York ma
jority Of only 1900. That district he car
running in mere district, he who won
this unprecedented victory had been a
candidate in the whole municipality, he
, would, according to this ratio, have car
ried the city of New York by majority
Of &c. 1000. Had he been running in the
[ state at large-even conceding to his adj
versary the preponderance customarily
, claimed by the republicans in the rural
districts-he would have carried the state
by majority of 100000.
:. OF Proved Fidelity.
unquestioned fidelity to your party? Where
will you find one whose party fealty can
claim superiority to his? In the hours
which tried mems souls. others have de-
serted the ship; in the days when idola-
trous allurements were spread forth, 9TH
ers have foresworn the faith Of their ia
theirs and have Frustrated themselves be-
fore tho golden calf-his allegiance has
known no wavering, his devotion has been
, married by no schism. In prosperity and
in adversely. in sunshine and in storm.
, thru good and thru evil repute, his dem
ocracy has remained steadfast.
Nor does the fealty Of our candidate
belong to the past alone. 1t exists to-
4 day in amplitude as complete, In devotion
as absolute as Of yore. Tho aspiring to
, this nomination, yet, If your assembled
wisdom shall deem another worthier, he
; will not be found disconnected grumbleI
sulking In his tent; still less will he be
> found organizing fellow -deserters into
= marauding bands Of hostile malcontents
and, above all, will he not be found work
ing for the party's defeat and exulting ir
its overthrow. No. Even tho disappoint-
= ed in his aspirations, he will remain at hil
post ready, as of old, to battle for the
cause and, If not chosen to lead as 8
commander, fighting as a private In the
- ranks.
e do you want LOT your nominee a maj
e of truly democratic impulse, one ever IL

y Not here the place to recount the mum
= berless instances in which these traits O
our candidates nature and disposition
have been displayed. Time would not per
nit even the enumeration Of countless act

sands nightly assisted, fed and sheltere,
