full tribute paid to Senator Cockrell
when his name was placed in nominal
ton by Representative Champ Clark.
1t was a spontaneous outburst, and for
that reason the more complimentary to
the senator. The delegates already
ing session, paused in their labors, and
in the guise Of a nomination for the
presidency which the senator's friends
knew to be beyond his reach, INDUCED
in a demonstration, continuing nearly
half an hour. Nearly every delegate
and spectator in the galleries or on the
floor had been provided with a flag and
the scene was far the most impressive
of all the ovations given during the
session.
The thousands Of cheering persons
apparently converted Mr.. Bryan to the
belief that Senator Cockrell's chances
Of nomination were greater than other
favorite son candidates. The Nebras-
kan gained recognition soon after the
Cockrell nomination, and in a speech
directed to an effort to defeat Parker,
made his electrifying plea for the anti
Parker forces to rally. He was given
the closest attention. The great con-
vention which the police and sergeant
alarms were powerless to control, list
ened as though every word were a per-
sonal message to each person, as if a
hypnotic spell had been cast over the
throng. But when it was all over, the
Parker forces had not been shaken.
The ballot for president gave Parker
G5S votes out of the SGT needed to
nominate, and before the result could
be announced, Idaho, Nevada, Wash
ington and others made changes to the
Parker column. Gov. Dockerv of Mis-
souri, moved to make he nomination
unanimous and it carried, amidst in
creasing cheering. The result of the
ballot was never announced officially
and it is not likely that it ever will
be.
The convention took a recess yester-
day until eight o'clock last night for
the purpose of receiving the report of
the committee on resolutions. The re-
port was received and adopted by a
viva voce vote. So far as surface in
dications were concerned, there was
no more opposition TO the platform
than there had been to that adopted
unanimously by the republican conven-
ton in Chicago a few weeks ago. Nom

1t is almost inevitable that Sir Mi

England more sorely than her might

forthcoming. The speeches which had
been cheered so long and loud had
neither made nor lost a vote. The

st. Louis, July 10.-Chief Judge Al
ton B. Parker, of the New York state
court of appeals was nominated at
about fifteen minutes TO six o'clock this
morning for president of the United
States by the democratic national con-
vention. But one roll call, and so de-
cisive was the result of that enc that
contrary states began to call for rec
ignition and the ballot finally resulted
in a unanimous vote for the New York
state a The scene was dramatic
in the extreme. Darkness had wit
messed the gathering of the democratic
hosts, while broad daylight, the sun
paling the electric light, witnessed the
close.
The convention was in session from
eight o'clock last night until nearly six
O'Clock this morning. In that time
eight names were presented to the con-
vention. Nominating and seconding
speeches innumerable were made, and
as dawn approached it became neces-
sary to limit the seconding speeches
to four minutes each. An exception
was made in the case of William Jen-
nings Bryan, who, in one of the most
dramatic situations ever witnessed in
a political gathering addressed the con-
vention and concluded by s~econding
the nomination of Senator Francis NJ.
Cockrell, 1.-The favorite SON. candidate
from Missouri. Mr.. Bryan received the
third great ovation accorded during the
convention. His speech was an impas-
stoned appeal to the delegates to give
the party a candidate who had voted
the democratic ticket in 1896 and 1900.
He spoke on behalf of the Nebraska
delegation, which he said had no can
didate to present or fayors to ask, but
wanted a candidate whose nomination
would not prove a triumph for one
faction over another. He suggested
Hearst, if the convention thought best,
then former Gov. Pattison, of Pennsyl-
vania, and finally created a surprise in
the convention by declaring for Sena-
tor Cockrell.
One of the features of the long
drawn-out session had been the beauti-

THE THIRD DAY.


St. Louis, July 9.-The Democratic
national convention spent the morning
waiting for the report of the commit
tee on resolutions. A committee was
appointed by Chairman Champ Clark
to call on the resolutions committee
and learn when the platform would
be submitted to the convention. Just
before the noon hour the conventions
emissaries announced that the resolu-
lions committee would require until
eight o'clock to prepare its report, but
that the action of the committee would
be unanimous, and a platform submit
ted which, he declared, would bring the
party a glorious victory"
The convention then took a recess
until eight o'clock. Chairman Clark
had the convention in hand from the
moment proceedings opened, He an
rounced, through a strong-voiced as
~sistant, 'fthat the first person raising a
row would be thrown out by the po-
lice" After the committee had been
dispatched to learn the pleasure of the
resolutions committee, the band gave
a concert Of popular and patriotic Sc
'lections. Bourke Cochran was called
for to address the. convention, but he
was not present. Former Senator
Charles A. Towne was next invited to
take the platform but declined. Capt.
Richmond Pearson Hobson was the
next choice.
Mr.. Hobson accepted the invitation,
and, in a few moments, made his way
from the Alabama delegation to the
platform. He was greeted with a round
of applause and the usual cries of
Louder" When he had uttered but a
few words. He complied promptly
with the request and revealed the best
and strongest voice thus far heard in
the convention. what president has

and applause greeted the assertion.
He passed on to the color question and
declared that if when the black, or yell
low races came into contact with white

suicide, it must remain absolutely dis

gates greeted the statement. He de-

Many great discoveries have been
made by accident and things better than
gold mines have been found in this way,
for example when even the accidental
discovery that coffee is the real cause of

dous value because it locates the cause
and the person has then a chance to get
well.

woman, II suffered untold agonies inmy
stomach and even the best physicians
disagreed as to the cause without giving
me any permanent help, different ones
saying it was gastritis, Indigestion, neu-
ralgia, etc., so I dragged along from
year to year, always half sick, until
finally I gave up all hopes Of ever being
well again.

one day she said she had a new drink
which turned out to be Postum and I
liked it SO well / told her | thought I
would stop coffee for awhile and use 1t,
which l did.
so for three months we had Postum

one of my old spells but was always
healthy and vigorous instead.

WINGED it was coffee that caused those
spells, but ever then l wouldn't believe
1t until one day we got out of Postum
and as we lived two miles from town
l thought to use the coffee we had in the
house.
"The result CT a weeks use of coffee
again was that had another terrible
spell of agony and distress proving that
1t was the coffee and nothing else. That
settled 1t and I said good bye to Coffee
forever and since then Postum alone has
been our hot mealtime drink.

OF u family have been benefited. too,
