full tribute paid to Senator Cockrell
when his name was placed in nomina-
ton by Representative Champ Clark
| 1t was a spontaneous outburst, and FOL
that reason the more complimentary to
the senator. The delegates already
weary by reason Of the tedious n try
ing session, paused in their labOrs, and
in the guise of a nomination for the
presidency which the senator's friends
knew to be beyond his reach, INDUCED
in a demonstration, continuing nearly
half an hour. Nearly every delegate
and spectator in the galleries or on the
| floor had been provided with a flag and
the scene was far the most impressive
Of all the ovations given during the
session.
The thousands of cheering persons
apparently converted Mr.. Bryan to the
belief that Senator Cockrell's chances
Of nomination were greater than other
favorite son candidates. The Nebras-
kan gained recognition soon after the
Cockrell nomination, and in a speech
directed to an effort to defeat Parker,
made his electrifying plea for the anti
Parker forces to rally. He was given
the closest attention. The great con-
vention which the police and sergeant
alarms were powerless to control, list
ened as though every word were a per-
sonal message to each person, as if a
hypnotic spell had been cast over the
throng. But when it was all over, the
Parker forces had not been shaken.
The ballot for president gave Parker
G58 votes out Of the 667 needed to
nominate, and before the result could
be announced, Idaho, Nevada, Wash
ington and others made changes to the
Parker column. Gov. Dockery Of Mis-
souri, moved to make the nomination
unanimous and it carried, amidst in
creasing cheering. The result of the
ballot was never announced officially
and it is not likely that it ever will
be.
The convention took a recess yester-
day until eight o'clock last night for
the. purpose of receiving the report of

port was received and adopted by a
viva voce vote. So far as surface in
dications were concerned, there was
no more opposition to the platform
than there had been to that adopted
unanimously by the republican conven-
ton in Chicago a few weeks ago. Nom
nations were Immediately proceeded
with.
Alabama yielded to New York, and
Judge Parker's name was the first pre-
scented to the convention. After that
Hearst, Gray, Cockrell, Wall, Will
Jams, Olney and Miles were named in
speeches which took nearly the entire
night. In the end, all the claims Of
Abe Parker forces were proved ac-
curate. Parker had within . few votes

and West Virginia Immediately
changed to Parker, making 678-the
necessary two-thirds, and then, on mo-
ton of Gov. Dockery of Missouri, the
nomination was made unanimous.
After the close of the session many
of the figures prominent in the con-
test were surrounded by friends and
heartily congratulated. Among these
were David B. Hill, of New York, who
has been in actual charge Of Judge
Parker's campaign. He laughed and
cried alternately.
In a section of the hall sat Mrs. Hall,
daughter of Judge Parker. With a par
ty of friends she remained throughout
the night. She showed her happiness
with tears.
Mr.. Bryan left the convention hall a
few minutes before the nomination
was made unanimous, but not before
he knew that Judge Parker was nomi-
mated. To several correspondents who
were waiting for him at his hotel he
said that he had nothing to add to
what he had said in the convention,
which was that he would support any
candidate nominated on the platform
he had assisted in making.

THE DAY.
Session.

st. Louis, July 9.-The effect of last
nights protracted and harassing ses-
sion was plainly evident when the
hour arrived to which the recess had
been taken. Chairman Clark vas not
present. Not over three hundred del
egates were in their seats and the gal
leries showed more empty chairs than
visitors. The ~pyrotechnics were over,
the red fire dying out, the curtain was
about to descend and the general in
terest in the proceedings raj compare
lively gone.
For the first time since the conven
toned opened it was possible to walk
the aisles without treading upon the
feet of other people and fighting for
a passageway. The chairman arrived
at fifteen minutes after two o'clock,
and that incident, which heretofore
has been the signal for applause, was
entirely unnoticed.
The prominent men in the party
were conspicuous by their absence.
Hill was in conference at the South
ern hotel trying to settle upon the
nominee for the vice-presidency. Col.
GufYey, Of Pennsylvania; Hopkins, Of
Illinois; Daniel, of Virginia, and nu-
merous others were absent long after
the hour set for the commencement Of
the days work.
Chairman Clark resumed the gavel,
and, at 2:48 O'Clock, began his effort
to call the convention to order. Be-
fore the formal opening of the session,
the band was signaled for a tune, as
aany delegates began to arrive, max

PLEADED GUILTY OF BRIBERY
The Minimum Sentence Imposed
Upon Him Considered as an Invi-
tatfOn to Others to Come In and
Take Homeopathic Doses.

st. Louis, July Edmund Bersch.
former member Of the house OF dele.
gates, was given a sentence of two
years in the penitentiary for accepting
a bride of $4,000 for his vote on the
city lighting bill in 1899, by Judge
Mcdonald.
Bersch received the sentence quietly
and a few minutes afterwards was
placed in the city Jail, where he will
remain until the next party of pris-
oners leaves for Jefferson City.
This sentence is the minimum pun
ishment for the crime of bribery. and
is regarded as an inducement to the
other men indicted on the same charge
to which Bersch pleaded guilty to fol
low his example.
Bersch's sentence followed the first
| plea of guilty by any of the men in
dicted for bribery. His sentence was
postponed in order to allow him to
settle his affairs.
In ~pronouncing the sentence Judge
Mcdonald said:
For your offense of bribery and In
pursuance of your plea of guilty and
considering your acknowledgment of
your guilt, | will impose a minimum
sentence of two years in the peniten-
tiary. l think under the circumstances
that this sentence will have as much
effect as a severer one"
Bersch's sentence disposed of the
fifth member of the notorious combine
of 10 members of the house of dele
gates who were indicted for receiving
$47,500 for passing the city lighting
bill in 1899.
julius Lehman, at whose house the
distribution of the S47,500 took place
the night of Nov. %, 1899, was con
victed, his conviction affirmed by the
supreme court, and he is now serving
a ~seven-year sentence in the peniten
tiary.
Emil Hartmann was also convicted,
and his conviction affirmed at the
same time as Lehmann's. He is no,
serving a six-year sentence.
Charles F. Kelly has confessed to
the indictment charge and is now in
Jail, his bond having beer forfeited by
Ed. Butler.
Charles A. Gutke has also confessed,
but is out on bond.
A sixth member of the 10 indicted
John H. Schnettler-has been advised
to plead guilty by his attorney, Simon
F. Bass, but has not yet followed the
advice.

st. Louis, July 10.-Chief Judge Al
ton B. Parker, of the New York state
court of appeals was nominated at
about fifteen minutes TO six o'clock this
morning for president of the United
States by the democratic national o n
vention. But roll call, and SO de-

Contrary states began to call for rec
ognition and the ballot finally resulted
in a unanimous vote for the New York
state man. The scene was dramatic
in the extreme. Darkness had wit
messed the gathering of the democratic
hosts, while broad daylight, the sun
paling the electric light, witnessed the
close.
The convention was in session from
eight o'clock last night until nearly six
o'clock this morning. In that time
eight names were presented to the con-
vention. Nominating and %seconding
speeches innumerable were made, and
as dawn approached it became neces-
sary to limit the seconding speeches

vas made in the case of William Jen-

dramatic situations ever witnessed in
a political gathering addressed the con-
vention and concluded by %seconding
the nomination of Senator Francis M.
Cockrell, 1.-The favorite son" candidate
from Missouri. Mr.. Bryan received the
third great ovation accorded during the
convention. His speech was an impas-
stoned appeal to the delegates to give
the party a candidate who had voted
the democratic ticket in 1896 and 1900.
He spoke on behalf of the Nebraska
delegation, which he said had no an
didate to present or favors to ask, but
wanted a candidate whose nomination
would not prove a triumph for one
faction over another. He suggested
Hearst, if the convention thought best,
then former Gov. Pattison, Of Pennsyl-
vania, and finally created a surprise in
the convention by declaring for Sena-
tor Cockrell.

THE THIRD DAY.
Session.

st. Louis, July 9.-The Democratic
national convention spent the morning
waiting for the report of the commit
tee on resolutions. A committee was
appointed by Chairman Champ Clark
to call on the resolutions committee
and learn when the platform would
be submitted to the convention. Just
before the noon hour the conventions
emissaries announced that the resolu-
tons committee would require until
eight o'clock to prepare its report, but
that the action of the committee would
be unanimous, and a platform submit
ted which, he declared, would bring the
party a glorious victory"
The convention then took a recess
until eight O'Clock. Chairman Clark
had tie convention in hand from the
moment proceedings opened. He an
rounced, through a s~trong-voiced as
sistant. that the first person raising a
row would be thrown out by the po-
lice" After the committee had been
dispatched to learn the pleasure of the
resolutions committee, the band gave
a concert OF popular and patriotic Sc
lections. Bourke Cochran was called
for to address the convention, but he
was not present. Former Senator
Charles A. Towne was next invited to
take the platform but declined. Capt.
Richmond Pearson Hobson was the
next choice.
Mr.. Hobson accepted the invitation,
and, in a few moments, made his way
from the Alabama delegation to the
platform. He was greeted with a round
of applause and the usual cries Of
Louder" When he had uttered but a
few words. He complied promptly
with the request and revealed the best
and strongest voice thus far heard in
the convention. What president has
been brave enough to enforce the law
against the labor union violator of law.
1t was a democratic president" he said,
and applause greeted the assertion.
He passed on to the color question and
declared that if when the black, or yell
people, if that ace would not commit
suicide, 1t must remain absolutely dis
tinct. A shout from the southern dele
gates greeted the statement. He de-
clared that Booker T. Washington
would soon outlive his ~undoubted use
fulness if he did not cease to yield to
the teachings and influences of the re-
publican party and its chieftain.
He urged the men of the west and
north to refrain from depressing the
south by advocating anything that
tended to obliterate the racial lines.
He deprecated the fact that in the re-
publican convention not n man had
risen to speak agains, the plank in that
party's platform which urged reduction
of southern representation in congress
because of alleged Acknowledgement Of
voters in the south.

of enough to nominate, and these were
forthcoming. The speeches which had
been cheered so long and loud had
neither made nor lost a vote. The
Parker forces, under perfect organiza-
ton, remained serene.
After the nomination had been made,
the convention adjourned until 2 p. m,
when a candidate for vice-president
will be chosen.
