ups leu Dy tne delaware ueleSdLlOn.
Before Mr.. Handy had closed the
disorder become so pronounced he
finished amid brief cheering.
Florida Man for Hearst.
Florida" called the clerk.
John S. Beard of that state, who was
standing by the West Virginia reser-
walton, asked for recognition, which
the chair at first denied him, not know
! ing who he was, but after explanation,
Mr.. Beard took his place by the Flor
ida sign and proceeded to second the
nomination of Hearst. saying:
] The Democracy of Florida desire
| the nomination of Hearst, because the
| paramount issue to-day is the trust
/ question. and William r. Hearst is
the most persistent and aggressive OPP
! ponent of the trusts, and all the hard
! ships and evils attendant upon their
| unrestrained expressions of the people.
| The Democracy of Florida desire the
! nomination OF Hearst because we be-
| lieve that he is the only man who can
! carry into the Democratic column the
! pivotal states of New York, Illinois and
| Indiana, which are essential to Demo-
! cratic success, and Democratic success
only can rescue the South from the
| degradation of Rooseveltism and negro
ism. We believe that Hearst can and
will carry New York if this convention
makes him the standard bearer of the
| Democratic party.
"Cut 1t out" They Told Wright.
Moses Wright of Georgia followed in
a clear. ringing seconding speech for
Parker that held the attention of the
| convention closely
When Mr.. Wright mentioned Par
| ker's name a shout greeted 1t. The
crowd thought that was the conclusion
of the speech, and when he continued
| the irreverent in the gallery cried Cut
| it out" and Intellectually tried to drown
him out. He gained a round of APP
plause when he finished.
Second for Hearst.
When Illinois was called, Clarence
barrow seconded Hearst. at whose
name the galleries vented their en-
! thusiasm. When he said: ut seems
to be fate that the men who once
scuttled the Democratic ship shall
once more be placed in power" there
were cheers and Kisses.
"The Democracy of jefferson the
| Democracy of Bryan" was a phrase
| from Mr.. Darrow's speech which struck
! the convention. After the shout which
| followed, a voice from the gallery rang
out, Three cheers for Bryan" The
cheers were given with will.
Mr. Darrows speech enlivened the
wearying crowd. He was followed by

Judge Parker's nomination.
Miles Was Nominated.
When Kansas was called, j. G. John
| son seconded the Hearst nomination
and was followed by David Overmeyer
Of Kansas, who placed Gen. Nelson A.
| Miles in nomination
| Vigorous applause followed Mr.
, Overmeyer's mention of the name of
| Gen. Miles, but when he continued his
! address, after naming his candidate
l he was frequently interrupted by the
. galleries, and the applause at the con-
! clusion of his remarks was short-lived
| Delegate Rosson of Missouri then in
terposed a motion to limit seconding
speeches to one minute. but Dockery
| of Missouri and Grady of New York
| Directing, the limit was placed at four
minutes.
J. w. Orr of Kansas briefly seconded
Parker's nomination. as did Thomas
II. Ball of Texas.
Louisiana seconded the nomination
of Parker by a simple announcement
Maine gave way to Missouri, and
Champ Clack placed in nomination
Senator Francis M. Cockrell of Mis-
souri, for the presidency.
COckreI Nominated by Clark.
1t was after I o'clock when Mr..
| Clark began to speak. His audience
had sat for more than five hours in
| the sweltering heat of the packed hall
| and listened chiefly to prepared speech
| es. They were growing tired. But Mr..
| Clark was a stimulant. In five min
utes he had won his audience and wear
mess was swept from them. They re-
sponded to his every hit and cheered
him to the echo.
Mr.. Clarks first mention of his can
! didate as "old Cockrell" threw the con-
Vention into commissions of laughter,
which speedily turned to cheers, and
the Missouri senator received a warm
tribute that lasted for several minutes.
| The band played Dixie" and then
| above the band and the cheers, rising
high and clear as bugle call, sudden

YELL" and then the long drawn, "Wah-
| hoo-oo" of the plains, while the galleries
occupants blossomed forth with flags.
The Missouri delegation went on
| short march around the hail. but the
| spectacle was so much less interesting
| than the beautiful sight offered by the
many flags that the parade was soon
| abandoned. The tribute TO Senator
| Cockrell, which was one OF the hand
soonest things of its kind seen in many
conventions, lasted more than quar-
ter Of an hour Mr.. Clark retired be-
fore the demonstration ended.
Senator Cockrelrs name had been
mentioned IN the home of his friends,

Kansas sought to make 2 counter
demonstration by waving two pictures
OF Hearst but the Missourians were ret
