st. Louis, July IL Parker and Davis
Is the ticket. Alton Brooks Parker of
New York and former United States
Senator Henry G. Davis Of West vir-
GINA Contrary TO all precedents, the
nomination OF the vice president was
made on Sunday, the balloting not hay
ing been concluded until LIZ yesterday
morning. after which the convention
adjourned
The feature of the long night session
was third decisive defeat for William
]. Bryan, who opposed the sending Of
telegram to Judge Parker in answer
to one from the nominee defining his
attitude on the money question and
stating that he would withdraw and
permit the nomination of another il
his views were not acceptable to ma
jority of the convention.
BY vote of ia to 1914 the delegates
gave permission for the sending of an
answer to the effect that the monetary
standard was not referred to in the
platform because it was not an issue
and that there was nothing in Judge
Parker's attitude to prevent his stand
ing on the platform
Judge Parker's action in the opinion
OF very large majority Of the promi-
nent men Of the party. has immeasur-
ably strengthened him. It has very
effectually disposed Of the stories that
he has no views or having them is
afraid to express them.
Even delegates and others who are
by no means in harmony with the gold
standard idea, recognize the fact that
no man who is possessed Of true manli-
ness and great moral courage would
take such action as the chief Judge took
when he might have lost nothing by re-
manning silent,
William f. Sheehan and other New
York leaders say it means landslide
for Parker Texas and the South gen
orally stood squarely by Parker; Johh
Sharp Williams of Mississippi and Sen
ators Daniel and Carmack spoke in
favor of sending the telegram and
Texas vote Of thirty-six We're in the
affirmative The only member who al
any time objected TO this action was
Senator Culberson.

MOST REMARKABLE MEET
ING EVER HELD.

ST, Louis, July 1.-THE old timers
say that the convention which nomi-
mated Parker shortly before 6 O'Clock
Saturday morning, after session
which had lasted continuously from s
o'clock the previous evening, was the
most remarkable meeting Of its kind
ever held. Certainly it is difficult to
imagine any gathering Of the kind that
had in it more unusual or dramatic
features, Of wild enthusiasm for new
leader and admiration for an old one,
Of manifestations Of q determination
to weld the party together In spite Of
all obstacles and to work for a glorl-
GUS victory next fall. The session was
remarkable in that while the assem-
bled thousands listened attentiyely tc
William Jennings Bryan, Mayor Rose
Of Milwaukee and other opponents o.
Judge Parker and with more OF less
patience to the lessel lights who ar
gued or pleaded for Inc nomination Of
some one other than the Esopus man

slightest
Mayor Roses speech was bitter and

unknown candidate of Wisconsin, ed

DISTRICT RESULTS.
Grimes Has the Control in the Eighth
District.

Ol5IIlCIs
The latest returns show that there
is still indiclsion in the Second.
Eighth and Fourteenth districts in
the Second it looks like Mr. Brooks
has defeated Congressman Cooper.
That result will be determined posi-
lively if Harrison county has gone for
Brooks, and the friends of that gem
tleman claim that such IS the case.
In the Eighth Grimes county con-
trolls the situation. There is a contest
on in that county, and 1t will have to
go to the district convention for final
settlement Hit has carried Austin
and Harris, with % votes; Pinckney
has Waller, Walker, Fort Bend. Mad
ison, Montgomery and Leon, with Oh
votes; Grimes has four votes in the
convention and they viii determine.
| In the Eleventh Henry has won
from Gerald.
In the Fourteenth Slayden has a
long lead over Bee, and it is prob
able that he has won out FOR another
term

DIsraelI on His Marriage.

Disraeli autographs, formerly among
the scarcest, threaten to glut the mar
ket. At least dozen have been put
into the hands of the auctioneers and
dealers during the last few days.
One of the number has that touch
of nature which makes men kin. 1t
is a letter written to announce his
marriage, and is addressed to his I'M

lawyer. 81 rather think" he says,
that you will not be so much sur

Alas, there is no footnote to say
whether and to what extent the neph-
ew drew" his uncle. A wedding pres.
ent was likely to be acceptable enough
to Disraeli at that date, when he was
still in the hands of his compatriots-
the Jews; and though his uncle was
man of means, he was also a man
of prejudices, and of these his nephew
had the full disadvantages
