manent organization was made. Mr..
Williams named Senator J. w. Bailey !
of Texas, and Representative Cochran
to escort Champ Clark to the plat
form to assume the Craftsmanship. Mr.
Williams said in yielding the gavel
that he was not reluctant to part with
it and his sigh of relief when his labors
were over showed he was in earnest.
The delegates and spectators alike
We're tired out when the permanent
chairman stepped forward to address
them. Mr.. Clark realized the stu
alton and wisely made a few remarks
and recognized a motion to adjourn
until 10. o'clock tomorrow: The mos
ton. was carried with cheers. sci.sss
q. -, FOR CLOSING DAY -
Before tomorrow night the Democratic
convention will have adopted a platform,
nominated candidates for president and
vice president and adjourned sine die, if
the programme of the leaders can be
carried out. The Parker men are now
talking of his nomination on the first bal
lot, but they do not anticipate that more
than two ballots at the outside will be
necessary.
The vote today On the, Illinois case was
the test and favorable to Parker. There
were 946 votes cast of the 1000 votes in
the convention. the 81 of Illinois being
withheld The negative vote on Mr.. Bry-
ans minority report was SAT, which is 20
votes short of the necessary two thirds
to nominate. 1t represented with some
exceptions the Parker strength, although
it has in it also some of the opposition,
including the 80 votes of Massachusetts.
At the same time there were cast on the
other side is votes of South Carolina and
the &c votes of Kentucky and the Is votes
of Louisiana, making a total of g. votes
f,f, i d..
Deducting the 30 votes of Massachusetts,
and adding the 81 votes of the Parker
states gives a total of 677 votes, which
may be classed as Parker with some ex-
eeptions from the smaller states which
did not vote Parker or anti-Parker on
the contested cases. 1t would seem likely
that these few votes would be balanced
by those who voted in the affirmative to-
day and are likely to vote for Parker to-
morrow
PARKER MAY HAVE ILLINOIS
But in addition to the 677 votes ac-
counted. for there are 81 in Illinois that
are ready to come to Parker when he
needs them. There is report tonight
that the Illinois delegation, under instruc-
lions from Hearst, may feel that they are
no longer obligated to vote for him be-
cause the Hearst men all joined in an eff
fort to unSeat them. At all events, it
a
to make Parkers nomination sure, if even
some of the votes cast that were in the
negative column should be cast for other
candidates for president.
The anti-Parker men are building some
hopes of the action of the subcommittee
on platform in adopting gold standard
and asserting that some of the Southern
states instructed or pledged for Parker
will desert him if the convention adopts
the gold standard plank. Among the
states named in this connection are South
Carolina, Kentucky, Mississippi and Tex
as This is the only apparent hope the
| anti-Parker men have tonight.
FOR RUNNING MATE
With the end of the convention in sight
| there is still a chaotic condition in re-
gard to the vice president, and the out
| look now is that a number of candidates
will be voted for and perhaps several ball
| lots be taken before a choice. Among
| those whose names are connected with the
second place are David r. Francis and
| Gov. Alexander M Dockery of Missouri,
John w. Kern, of Indianapolis; James R.
Williams, of Illinois: Senator John W..
| Daniel. of Virginia; Gov. Charles B. Ay-s
| cock of North Carolina, and George Tur-
her, of Washington.
| Quite an effort has been made to con-
| centrate on Francis, and also for Kern.
| The Carolinas are for Aycock and the
| Virginia delegation tonight secured the
consent of Senator Daniel for the pre-
| sentation of his name. Conferences on this
! subject were held late in the night and
| will probably convene during the conven-
| ton hours tomorrow.

cation of agreement on their part to the
