tor Francis NJ. Cocsrell Of Missouri
| for the presidency. IL was after
| o'clock when MIR. Clark began TO speak.
| His audience had sat for more than five
hours In the swelterlng heat Of the
| packed hall and listened to speeches
| for the greater part prepared In adj
vance. They were growing tired. There
had been little spontaneous oratory and
few OF the direct, vigorous hits that a
convention crowd loves. But Mr., Clark
was a stmulant. He had not spoken
a hundred words before a ripple of APP
plause aroused attention ran through
the hall. II was much like the scene at
Chicago when Speaker Cannon spoke.
In five minutes he had won his audi
ence and WEAKNESS was swept from
them.
They responded TO his every hit and
cheered him to the echo. Mr. Clark s
first mention of his candidate as "Old
Cochell" threw the convention into
commissions OF laughter The band
played Dixie" and the tribute grew
into a demonstration. IL was Missouri
cheering MissourPs favorte son, and
the whole convention Joined in the COM
pliment, The greatest part of the APP
plause came from the galleries, where
the ladies' OF Missouri In numerous
groups waved flags with great enthusi-
asm.
Bundles OF flags were carried around
TO the galleries and thousands Of them
were moved into Missouri territory, and
In an instant two pictures OF Senator
Cockrell were ripped from their frames,
while the gallery danced and shrieked
In delight.
Above the band and the cheers, ris-
inh M a 4 n htlnlp
denly came the shrill and piercing 'reb-
ell yell' and the long-drawn "Wah Hoo
Oo' Of the plains.
The Missouri delegation Went on n
short march around the hall, but the
spectacle was somewhat more interest
ing than the beautiful sight offered by
the many flags. The parade was soon
abandoned. The tribute to senator
Cockrell, which was one Of the hand
soonest things Of its kind seen in many
conventions, lasted more than a quar-
ter of an hour.
Kansas sought TO make a counter
demonstration by waving two pictures
OF Hearst, but the Mlssourlaus were not
to be denied, and this time they
Showed" things to the other side.
When 20 minutes had gone a Missouri
delegate carried the state emblem to
the platform and waved Il as high In
the air as he could reach. This was the
end Of the demonstration, however, and
quiet was restored.
Maryland seconded the nomination OF
Parker through Col. Benjamin Schley.
oLNY PRESENTED.
Massachusetts. called the clerk, and
Patrick A, Collins of Boston made his
way to the platform TO nominate Rich
ard Olny. The mention OF Richard
Olney called forth cheers led by Massa-
chusetts. There was another loud cheer
when the speaker declared that Mr..
Olney needed no introduction 20 the
world, and when he closed there were
cheers and calls for olney, After the
Olney demonstration there was a call
for three cheers for Cockrell, and they
were given with a Will.
MINNESOTA SECONDS HEARST.
When the name OF Minnesota was
called. the chairman OF that delegation,
on behalf of a portion Of the delega-
ton seconded the nomination Of Judge
Parker. Another member Of the dele-
CATION was then recognized, and on be-
half OF a majority Of the delegation
seconded the nomination OF Mr.. Hearst,
Gov. Vardaman Of Mississippi stood
on his chair and in brief speech Sec
onded Parker's nomination, He was
conspicuous figure, with his long black
hair and smoothly shaven face, and the
convention applauded him.
MONTANA SECONDS PARKER,
Montana was next called, and sena-
tor Clark arose in his place and second
ed the nomination Of Parker.
Nebraska came next and the noise OF
the convention was hushed as the name
fell from the clerks lips. c, j, Smythe
responded, but before he could speak
the convention began o demonstration
I'm which the name Of Bryan was heard
above the uproar. Bryan! Bryant"
yelled.
Mr.. Bryan finally arose and, stand
ing on his chair endeay0red to quiet
the demonstration, but he was only an
incentive for a fresh outhurst, MIR.
Bryan stood on his chair and with a
palm leaf fan motioned the delegates to
take their seats. When he could make
himself heard, he simply announced
that Wisconsin had a candidate TO pre-
sent, and Nebraska yielded her place
on the roll call to that state.
WALL NOMINATED.
David S. Rose, mayor OF Milwaukee,
was at once recognized, and took the
platform TO place Edward G. Wall In
nomination.
Mr. Rose took the New York delega-
ton to task severely for presenting
Judge Parker, The nation has been
calling on New York for months to tell
US what are the Views OF their candl-
date" he rang out, but he said moth
ing" Loud applause and cries from
the galleries followed. Mr.. Rose pro-
cceded with an arralgnment OF Parker's
candidacy In such strong terms that a
point OF order was raised by Oscar l..
Miles n Kansas delegate who yelled
amid the uproar, when Chairman
Bailey asked him to state II: "The
gentleman Is not speaking In behalf
OF any candidate, but In general ar
raignment Of the Democratic party"
Cries OF Right, right" were heard
above the uproar
Chairman Bailey overruled the poInt
OF order with the statement that IL was
rot within the province OF the chair TO
pass upon what a speaker should say
Il wish TO say that j don't want 10 stir
up row." declared Mr.. Rose, after he
was allowed TO resume, The sentence,
however was met with cries OF de-
rision.
a, j. Barr, Pennsylvania delegate
interjected that the speaker had no
right to resume along the same lines.
When Mr.. Rose declared that he pre-
honted things In spirit OF good fellow
Ship he was interftIpted With crio. "a
