limiting thsm TO four minutes. II -Nss
first proposed 10 limit them to ono min
ute each. Champ Clark yielded the gsyel
to Senator Bailey Of Texas In order to put
Cockreil of Missouri In nomination. BY
an arrangement between Mayor Rose Of
Milwaukee and Bryan, Nebraska yielded
to Wisconsin on the roll call and Rose de-
livered a vitriolic speech against the New
Yorksrs, who, he said, never came united
to Democratic national convention.
Mayor Rose hurled epithets and insults
at the New Yorkers, declaring that they
were forever washing their soiled linen
| In public and that 80 far as he knew the
counties which had voted for the instruc-
tions for Judge Parker were invariably
Republican on election day, while the bail
iwicks which had opposed the instructions
for Judge Parker at the Albany State con-
vention always furnish the Democratic
majorities on election day.
| Mayor Rose was interrupted several
times by delegates who insisted that he
was not speaking to a nomination but was
insulting Democrats. Mayor Rose con-
tinued his personal epithets and wound up
by putting Wall Of Wisconsin in nomination
for President.
| It was when Wisconsin was called by
the clerk OF the convention that Bryan.
according to his arrangement with Rose
had the opportunity TO speak for Nebraska.
Il was then well along toward O'Clock
Saturday morning, Julys. The convention
was utterly worn out and yet that great
audience Of 5000 souls remained In Its
place Bryan denounced Roosevelt as a
man Of iron and granite and fond OF war;
he denounced ex-Gov. Frank s. Black for
his speech In the Chicago Republican ma
tional convention placing Roosevelt In nom
| nation, and went on to declare that Roose-
welt could be beaten and ought to be
| beaten, especially because OF the senti-
ments ex-Gov. Black had uttered In putting
Roosevelt in nomination. Bryan charged
that he himself had failed Of election In
1895 and 1900 because Democrats had
thought him dangerous and then, glartng
| full into the faces Of the New York delega-
ton, he thundered:
"You may dispute whether made good
fight, you may dispute whether ran q
good race, but you cannot deny that kept
| the faith"
The crash of applause which greeted
those words inclined many to the belief
that the roof was falling In. Mr.. Bryan.
when quiet was restored, spoke In eloquent
terms Of the platform which had been
adopted by the convention earlier in the
night. He spoke Of It as good platform,
| "a platform on which We can all stand, y
added Bryan, and then he formally seconded
the nomination OF Senator Cockrell OF Mis-
souri,.
Within a short time the roll call OF States
was begun for votes on the Presidential
nomination. 1t was not finished until
545 o'clock on Saturday morning, July 0.
which was e.45 New York time. Judge
Parker was not nominated on the first
ballot He received 65s votes, or nine less
than were necessary to nominate him.
Before the clerk announced the result OF
the ballot Idaho swung six votes from
Hearst to Parker. This gave Parker within
three votes OF enough to nominate him Next
Nevada changed two votes from Hearst
to Parker. That gave Judge Parker ee8
votes, and next came Washington with
change OF ten votes from Hearst to Parker,
and after that Gov Dockery Of Missouri
flung the thirty-six votes Of his State from
Cockrell to Parker and moved to make
Judge Parkers nomination unanimous.
Il will stand as q unanimous nomination,
but Bryan and his followers from Nebraska
never voted for Parker to mako 1t So.
Tho tired delegates and audience went
to their hotels and homes to be In readiness
for the next session at 2 o'clock Saturday
afternoon, July Q. All that morning muir
murs were heard against the platform
which had been adopted the night before.
National committeeman devoted to Judge
Parker's fortunes declared that he was
beaten from the start and wanted to bet
then 10 to 1 on Roosevelt. The editorial
article from THE SUN and the editorials
from the World and other metropolitan
newspapers, all attacking the platform,
were telegraphed to st. Louis. The excite
ment was at the straining point. The
delegates and others interested In the con-
vention had been at fever heat for ten
days. They were tired out, cross, disap-
pointed and depressed. Only about half
Of the delegates struggled into the hall to
attend the vice-Presidential session at ?
O'Clock. Within few moments telegram
was handed to William F. Sheehan. 1t was
the telegram from Judge Parker, which
read as follows
July 0. 1904.
Hon. William r. Sheehdn. Hotel Jefferson.
! regard the gold standard as firmly and
irrevocably established and shall act accord
hgly the act OF the convention to-uay
shall be ratified by the people,
As tho platform is silent on the subject
my view should be known TO the convention.
and IL II Ia proved to be unsatisfactory to
the majority request you to decline the
nomination for me so that another may be
nominated before adjournment.
ALTON B. PARKER.
Mr.. Sheehan showed 1t to Thomas F.
Ryan, August Belmont and David B. Hill.
and later It was made positively known
that Mr.. Hin advised Mr.. Sheehan to put
the telegram in his pocket and say MOTH
ing about IT, Mr.. Sheehan declined to do
%, saying, This telegram must be shown
to all Of our friends. 1t is but just and fair
that they see it." Mr. Sheehan showed the
telegram to Senator Tillman, Senator
Daniel and others. Senator Tillman be-
came greatly excited and charged Mr..
Hill with subterfuge and evasion concern
ing Judge Parker's money sentiments.
Senator Daniel was calmer. but none the
less troubled It was decided to adjourn
the vice-Presidential nomination until
$40 In the afternoon. Meantime Mr..
