| among the first to greet the nominee.
After handshaking the committeeman
repaired to the lawn. The committee
| men found seats reserved for them in
front of the flag-draped stand. The
Seventh regiment band began a ma

platform. The sun came out and
flooded the scene with brilliant light.
Paikers family was escorted from
the house to seats of honor by Champ
Clark and State Chairman Cord Myer.
The same committee accompanied
the nominee, who leaned on the arm
of Clark. David b. Hill arrived at
1880 and was an interested spectator
of the proceeding. Most of the visi-
tors from nearby towns filled the
lawn. Over a thousand were present.
When Parker reached the stand there
was considerable cheering. Cord Myer
introduced Champ Clark. During
Clark's speech Parker stood by his
side and frequently clapped his hands
at telling points in his address. While
Clark was speaking it began raining
Parker refused the proffered umbrella
and got wetting before the Mis-
sourian finished.
There was a great outburst of ap-
plause at the conclusion of Clark's
speech and the presentation of Gre
dentials. Cheering was prolonged
when Parker stepped to the platform
and began to speak, He was greeted
with applause at nearly every period
of his address, the latter part of
which he read. He spoke evenly, sell
dom raising his voice apove a con-
versational tone. The judge finished
speaking at 2:54 o'clock amid an out
burst of applause and the waving Of
flags. His declaration not to accept
denomination was almost frantical-
ly eheered.

CKAAR c1A1x's ADDRESS.

Judge Parker: The most mo-
mentous political performance known
among men is the quadrennial election
of an American president. The su-
preme executive power among S0,000,-
600 free people changes hands with
the simplest ceremony and most per-
feet order. All history proves that
government. bottomed on popular suf-
frage, is government by party. Ex-
perience shows that 1t is he who
serves his party best who serves his
country best. Out of strong debates
and profound deliberations, the st.
Louis convention emerged a reunited
party which goes forth conquering
and to conquer. Every phase of DEM
ocratic opinion was represented and
advocated by brave, honest and able
champions in that great conclave of
free and patriotic men. There was
