It is predicated upon the unassaiI-

depend wholly upon their Industrial

cannot be promoted without conIru-

Wild Scenes Follow Representation Of

st. Louis, July 9.-The morning ses-
sion of the democratic national conven-

ment being taken until evening to re-
ceive the report of the committee on res
elutions. At the opening of the evening
session the platform was adopted, and
then began a call of the states for presi-
Dental nominees
Martin W. Littleton, of New York,
placed Judge Parker in nomination.
For Is minutes the delegates and the gall
leries cheered, shouted and yelled for
Parker, while banners were carried in
struggling professions to the blare Of
bands and the singing of men.
e. M. Delmas, of California, nom
mated Hearst. For IS minutes delegates
and galleries yelled, shouted and
cheered for Hearst, while men marched
in professions and carried banners and
flags to the music of bands.

ator Cockrell's name, presented by
Champ Clark, set the convention wild
again at two o'clock in the morning.
the scene was well night unprecedented.
Ten thousand people in round numbers
were still in the big hall at 2:1O a. M,
pounding cheering, yelling at the name
OF a venerable senator whose nomina-
ton before the convention was moth
ing more than the merest formality.
After nine hours of oratory, confu-
sion and wild scenes Bryan made dra-
matte and pathetic appeal for the party
principles he represents, closing in tears
and arousing his hearers to great enthu-
siasm The conservatives, however, were
in control, and after the roll was called
and two minor states changed to Parker,
the New Yorker had two-thirds of the
total vote, the nomination being made
unanimous on motion of Gov. Dockery,
Of Missouri, amidst great cheering.
