The Chicago Chronicle Republican.

The Chicago Chronicle of the
18th inst. makes the following edi.
torial announcement:
"The democratic party is attached
to Organism. 1t is subservient to
BRYAN. It has been persuaded
against its natural inclinations to
nominate an unknown candidate
whom BRYAN has antagonized, but
it has permitted BRYAN to do the
rest. The democratic party is BRY-
AN and there is no reason to suppose
that its triumph under the leader
ship Of a man who voted twice for
BRYAN and free silver, and boosted
of it, would be anything else than a
triumph for BRYAN.
"Disagreeing fundamentally with
this leader and this party in most
things and agreeing with the repub-
lican party in the essentials Of its
creed, The Chronicle to-day takes
leave of the democratic party and
allies itself with the republicans. I"
The Chronicle has done Judge
Parker and the democratic party a
service Of inestimable value. Had
it pretended to support the demo-
cratic ticket in this campaign, its
pretense would have cost the party
tens Of thousands of votes.

BRYAN at st. Louis.

No one who attended the st. Louis
convention has the least doubt but
what Mr.. Bryan is more admired
and is closer to the hearts ofthe demo.
cratic masses than any other man
in the country. Day after day the
uncontrollable enthusiasm which
followed every mention of his name
was little less than marvellous. AT
one time more than $4,000 people
cheered and welcomed him with
joyous demonstrations for upwards
Of half an hour. This homage was
paid to Mr.. Bryan because he is the
greatest living champion of human
rights, the most conspicuous repre-
sentative Of political morality in
America.
Men like the publishers Of the
Chicago Chronicle hoped that the st.
Louis convention would eliminate
Mr.. Bryan as leader, but that. hope
they no longer entertain. The st.
Louis convention strengthened Mr..
Bryan as a great factor in the demo-
cratic party.
Mr.. Bryan and the men who
fought under his banners are not
deserters. They are champions of
human rights and political decency

Our Candidate's Telegram,

Under the pressure of the New
York press and politicians, Judge
Parker sent telegram to be read to
the convention for the evident pur-
pose Of securing the insertion Of a
gold standard plank in the platform.
As soon as it became known that
such telegram had been received,
a hasty adjournment was taken and
in the caucuses which followed it
was made very plain that the con
vention would not change its plat
form and that it would nominate
another man for president rather
than commit the party irrevocably
to a gold standard.
John Sharp Williams again de-
monstrated his ability for party
leadership by having the convention
answer its nominee in substance
that his views on the money ques-
ton were not at all material, because
the money question would not be an
issue in the coming campaign. The
Judge probably pleased some Of his
New York friends by sending the
telegram, but he will not belize
ly to class the answer as delightful
summer reading. 1t was the best,
however, that his friends could do,
for more than two thirds of the
states were opposed to the insertion
ola gold standard plank in the plat
form. The Judge is good demo.
crat who has always bowed to the
will Of the majority and will nc
doubt do SO gracefully in this par
ticular instance.

The choice was unanimous.
The real cause of the delay was the
time needed to prepare the report of

During the invocation the convcn-

entirely inadequate to reach even the
center of the hall. The prayer occu-
pied several minutes. Enthusiastic
cheering greeted the chairman's an
nouncement that he was directed by
the national committee to appoint John
s. Williams temporary chairman and
O. A. Walsh temporary secretary and
John I. Martin temporary sergeant-at-
arms
The chairman appointed Colonel J..
NJ. Guffey of Pennsylvania and NJ. r.
Tarpey of California to escort Mr..
Williams to the chair. AS the plat
form was enclosed by railing, it was
necessary for the committee and Mr.
Williams to climb over the railing.
The committee lifted Mr.. Williams
safely over and the entire convention
burst into cheers MS he assembled the

A genuine outburst of applause fol-

climbed upon their seats and yelled
vigorously. One Iowa man of the
Hearst instructed delegation from that
commonwealth stood up and waved his
hat frantically, and wild cheer an

Martin W.. LittletOn placed Judge AL
ton B. Parker in nomination. The
demonstration which followed was tre-
mendous. lasting about half an hour.
When order was restored Arkansas
yielded to Tennessee and Senator Car
mack took the platform and seconded
the nomina ton of Judge Parker. There
was great confusion during his speech.
California, Il Hearst state was next
in order. ID. Nj. Delmas of that state
was recognized, and there was some
cheering us he made his way to the
platform, but 1t was not prolonged.
The hall was bedlam when Delmas
concluded. He nominated William r.
Hearst, and during the speech the
Hearst men went wild. John w. Kern
of lndiana seconded the nomination of
Parker, as did Michael j. Ryan of
Philadelphia. Clarence S. barrow of
Illinois; John S. foard of Florida; j.
G. johnson of Kansas, and others sec.

Other candidate placed in nomina-
ton were Cockrell, Miles, Gray, Olney,

it resulted: Parker, 65S; Hearst, 200;
Cockrell, AZ; Wall, %; Olney, 81; Nc
Clellan, 3; Miles, 8; Gray; 8; Williams,
8; Towne, 2; Coler, 1.
But one roll-call ensued, aud so de-
cisive was the result of that one that
contrary states began to call for rec

in unanimous vote for the New York
man. The scene was dramatic in the
extreme. When Judge Parker was de-
clared the nominee for president the
convention, after being in session all

Immediately telegram from Parker
