The above is the ticket nominated by

| was expected that when the convention
reassembled at 2 p. m. the vice-presi-
| Dental matter would be settled quick
| " and an adjournment reached. But
| in the interim a telegram had been re-
| ceived from Judge Parker that threw
the mass Of delegates into a tempo
rary state of great excitement. The
| telegram follows:
Hon. w. F. Sheehan, Hotel Jefferson.
ST. Louis:
"I regard the gold standard as firm
| ly and irrevocably established, ana
shall act accordingly if the action OF
the convention of today shall be ratl-
fed by the people. AS the platform IS
silent on the subject, my view should
be made known to the convention, and
if it is proved to be unsatisfactory 10
the majority, l request you to decline
the nomination for me at once. so that
another may be nominated before ao-
iournment. A. B. PARKER"

explanation by John Sharp Williams
put the delegates back into satisfied
state of mind, and the work OF the body
} was then closed up and an adjourn
