his teeth"
Rhinehart denied for himself and all
others of the Iowa delegation that any
money had been received by them to
induce them to cast their votes for any
candidate.
Before Rhinehart had concluded the
convention showed signs Of restless
ness, but yell greeted his last words.
There was soon a sequel to the
Wright incident. The delegation held
a meeting and voted to unseat Wright
as the Iowa member of the committee
to notify the Presidential nominee In
the words of one Of the delegates, the
action was taken because of the i'm
putations cast upon the delegation" by
Wright.
Kansas was called and ]. G. Johnson
was recognized to second the Hearst
nomination. Johnson said in part:
I'VE believe in the theoretical policy
that the office should seek the man. but
we also believe in the practical political
proposition that the man should be out
in plain sight when the office is looking
for him; that he should take the people
into his confidence and give them every
means of knowing what he stands for
and what they can depend upon if they
elect him. And for this reason we de-
fend the nomination of Mr.. Hearst"
PRESENTS MILES NAME.
AS Johnson concluded the chair
recognized David Overmeyer of Kan
sas, who placed General Nelson A
Miles in nomination.
fO1I
meyers mention of his candidate and
he was frequently interrupted by the
galleries, and the applause at the con-
clusion of his remarks was short-lived.
In the midst of the handclapping the
chairman's gavel fell sharply and end
ed it.
Delegate Roesing of Minnesota then
interposed a motion that all seconding
speeches should be limited to one min
ute.
Governor Dockery moved to amend
by making the time five minutes. After
a little parliamentary squabble the time
was fixed at four minutes.
Kansas produced a third speaker in
]. W. Orr. who. in a few words not
heard far from his seat. seconded the
nomination Of Parker.
Thomas H. Ball OF. Texas was
next recognized to second the nomina-
tion of Parker. Louisiana also sec
onded Parker.
Maine gave way to Missouri and
Champ Clark Of that State took the
platform to place in nomination Sena-
tor Francis NJ. CockreH of Missouri
for the Presidency.
1t was after l o'clock when Clark
began to speak.
CLARK AROUSES DELEGATES.
His audience had sat for more than
five hours in the sweltering heat of the
packed hall and listened to speeches
for the greater part prepared in ad-
vance. They were growing tired.
But Clark was a stimulant. He had
not spoken a hundred words before a
ripple Of rearoused attention ran
through the hall 1t was much like
the scene at Chicago when Speaker
Cannon spoke. In five minutes he had
won his audience and WEAKNESS was
swept from them. They responded to
his every hit and cheered him to the
echo.
Clark's first mention of his candi-
date as "old Cockrell'' threw the con-
vention into convulsions of laughter
The band played Dixie" and the trib-
ute rose to a demonstration. 1t was
Missouri cheering Missouris favorite
son and the whole convention joined in
the compliment.
Bundles of flags were carried
around to the galleries and thousands
of them were moved over into Missou-
ri territory and in an instant two pic
lures Of Senator Cockrell were ripped
from their frames while the gallery
danced and shrieked in delight
Above the band and the cheers ris-
ing high and clear as a bugle call
suddenly came the shrill and pierre
ing rebel yell" and the long drawn
"Wah- -Hoo-oo" of the plains.
The Missouri delegation went on a
short march around the hall. The
tribute to Senator Cockrell, which was
one of the handsomest things of it's
kind seen in many conventions, lasted
more than a quarter of an hour.
CHEERS FOR OLNEY.
Kansas sought to make a counter
ueInOnStratlOn Dy waving TWO pictures
of Hearst, but the Missourians were
not to be denied and this time they
Showed" things to the other side.
When twenty minutes had gone a Mis-
souri, delegate carried the State en-
blem to the platform and waved it as
high in the air as he could reach.
This was the end of the demonstra-
ton, however, and quiet was restored.
Maryland seconded the nomination
Of Parker through Colonel BENJAMIN
,Schley.
Massachusetts" called the clerk and
Patrick A. Collins of Boston made his
way to the platform to nominate Rich
ard Olney.
The mention of Olney called forth
cheers, led by Massachusetts.
There was another loud cheer when
the speaker declared that Olney need
ed no Introduction to the world and
when he closed there were cheers and
calls for Olney. After the Olney
demonstration there was a call for
three cheers for Cockrell and they were
given with a will.
When the name Of Minnesota was
called the chairman of that deIeoa tior
