will be. The convention took a recess yes
terday until o'clock last night for the
purpose OF receiving the report OF the
committee on resolutions.
The report was received and adopted
by a vivi voce vote So far as surface
indications were concerned there was no
more opposition to. the platform than
there had been 10 that accepted unani-
mously by the Republican convention IN
Chicago a few weeks ago.
Nominations were Immediately pro-
ceeded with. Alabama yielded 10 New
York. and Judge PACKERS name was the
first presented 10 the convention.
After that Hearst, Gray. Cockrell, Wall,
Williams, Olney and Miles were named
in speeches which took nearly the entire
night. In the end ali the claims OF the
Parker forces were proved accurate. Par
ker had within few votes OF enough TO
nominate and these were forthcoming.
The speeches which had been cheered so
long and loud had neither made nor lost
vote. The Parker forces under perfect
organization remained serene.
TO NAME VICE PRESIDENT.
After the nomination had been made,
the convention adjourned until 2 p. m. to-
day when a candidate for vice president
will be chosen. After the close OF the con-
vention many OF the figures prominent In

| and heartily congratulated. Notable
/ among these were David p. Hill OF New
/ York who has been In actual charge or

In section of the hall sat Mrs. Hall,
daughter OF Judge Parker. With party
! OF friends she remained throughout the
night She showed her happiness with
tears
William F. Sheehan who has done the
personal work for Judge Parker and Aug
ust Belmont were jubilant over the result.
One OF the most interesting phases OF the
convention was the fact that although
! early evening was succeeded by darkness,
darkness by dawn. and dawn by broad
| sunlight at least two-thirds OF all the
spectators 30 per cent of them women,
remained until the nomination was MADE
NOTHING MORE TO SAY.
Mr.. Bryan left the convention hall a
few minutes before the nomination was
made unanimous but not before he knew
that Judge Parker was nominated. TO
| several correspondence who were waiting
for him at his hotel. he said he had
nothing to add TO what he said IN the
convention, which was that he would
support any candidate named on the
platform he had assisted In making.
"I have not slept for hours" he said,
good night"
II may be added that those of super
] stitutious turn OF mind may be encour-
aged by the fact that Judge Parker was
not nominated on Friday.
