olutions At the opening of the evening
session the platform was adopted an6
then began call of the states for pres
idential nominees.
Martin w. Littleton, of New York,
placed Judge Parker in nomination. For
% minutes the delegates and the gall
leriess 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. Del
mas of California nominated Hearst
For So 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
L. Irving Handy, of Delaware, pro-
posed Judge Gray's name. David Over
meyer, of Kansas, nominated Gen. Nelson
A. Miles. Richard Olney, of Massa-
chusetts was nominated by Maj. Collins,
of Boston, and Mayor Rose, of Milwau-
kee, presented the name of Mr. Wall
Wisconsin S favorite son. Senator Cock
rell's name, when presented by Champ

wild again at two o'clock in the morn
ing. The scene was well nigh unpreced-
ented Ten thousand people in round

a. m. pounding, cheering, yelling all the
name'of venerable senator whose nami-

After nine hours of oratory confu-

siasm. The conservatives, however, were
in control, and after the roll was called
and two minor states changed to Parker

unanimous on motion of Gov Dockery
of Missouri, amidst great cheering.

st. Louis, July 1.-THE democratic
national convention nominated the fol
lowing ticket: For president, Alton B.
Parker, of New York; for vice presi-
dent, Henry G. Davis. of West Vir-
ginia. The convention adjourned sine
die at 1870 a. m. Sunday.
Judge Parker was nominated at Sd
a. m. Saturday, after an exciting all
night session He had 658 votes on
the first ballot, but Iowa and West
Virginia changed their votes, giving
him the necessary two-thirds, and on
motion of Gov. Dockery, of Missouri,
The nomination was made unanimous.
The Ticket Is Completed.
The convention ended it's work at
1:15 o'clock Sunday morning by NAM
ing Henry G. Davis of West Virginia
as it's candidate for vice president.
This final work, when it was reached,
was done in a hurry. Former Senator
Davis had the support of both the
Parker and Bryan delegates, and the
opposition to him was comparatively
trifiing Before the result of the bal
lot was announced Ohio moved that
the nomination be made by acclama-
ton, and this was done without dissent.
The other candidates were ex-Sen-
ator George Turner of Washington,
Congressman J. r. Williams of Illi-
nOis, and ex-senator w. A. Harris of
Kansas. They received but slight sup
port Illinois voted for Congressman
Williams, as did Indiana, North and
South Carolina, and Rhode Island.
That, however, was all he could mus
ter. The other candidates also re-
ceived purely local support.
The vote before the nomination was
made unanimous stood: Davis, $50;
Williams, 165; Turner, 100; Harris, So.
Cheers for the Nominee.
After the motion for the unanimous
vote was carried with great shout,
the delegates all over the hall arose
and the hustle of departure was on.
There was cheering here and there, led
by the West Virginia and other south
ern delegations, but the demonstration
did not approach some of those caused
by less serious matters. The delegates
were worn out Then followed the
closing formalities of the convention.
Mr.. Sheehan moved that Chairman
Jones call the national commit
tee together at some future date
In New York. This was carried The
committee was then directed to fill
any vacancies in the ticket that might
occur and some minor resolutions OF
routine were disposed of. The con-
vention adjourned at 1870 a. M, and
the tired delegates turned their faces
toward the doors for the last time.
Parker Creates a Sensation.
A situation unprecedented in Ameri-
can political history was created in the
democratic convention Saturday even
ing. Judge Alton Brooks Parker, the
nominee for president, telegraphed the
convention that he believed in the gold
standard and that unless the conven-
ton knew his belief and still favored his
candidacy he must decline to be the
standard bearer of the party The con-

The recent National EducationaIvc con
ventibn is responsible for reopening
of the discussion of the effect of educa-
ton on matrimony Authorities still
differ on the subject. President G. Stan
ley Hall, of Clark university, and Presi-

marriage rate, while President Angel

true. The discussion waxed warm, but
there being no fair co-eds present, the
matter was left undecided.
