round of holes is expected to break into
the Shafter vein and it will certainly be
reached this week or all surveys already
made are not to be depended on for the
reason that the vein must change its
pitch greatly below the bottom of the

and identified, several owners of other
veins recently cut by the tunnel can e.

AN ALL-NIGHT SESSION.
Wild Scenes, Follow Representation Of
Candidates. Names.

St Louis, July 9.-The morning ses-
sion Of the democratic national conyen-
ton on Friday was very brief, adjourn
ment being taken until evening to re-
ceive the report of the committee on res
buttons. At the opening of the evening
session the platform was adopted, and
then began a call of the states for presi-
Dental nominees.
Martin w. Littleton, of New York,
placed Judge Parker in nomination.
For rs minutes the delegates and the gall
leries cheered, shouted and yelled for
Parker, while banners were carried in
struggling professions to the blare of
bands and the singing of men.
E. M. Delmas. of California, nom
mated Hearst. For IS minutes delegates
and galleries yelled, shouted. and
cheered for Hearst, while men marched
In professions and carried banners and
flags to the music of bands.
/. Irving Handy Of Delaware pro-
posed Judge Gray's name. David Over
meyer OF Kansas nominated Gen. Nell
son A. Miles, Richard Olney of Mas
s~achusetts vas nominated by Mayor
Collins OF Boston. and Mayor Rose of
Milwaukee presented the name of. Mr..
Wall, ,Wtsconsin's favorite son. Sen
ator Cockrell's name, presented by
Champ Clark, set the convention wild
again at two o'clock in the morning.
the scene was well night unprecedented.
Ten thousand people in round numbers
were still in the big hall at 2:1O a. M,
pounding, cheering, yelling at the name
OF a venerable senator whose nomina-
ton before the convention was moth
Ing more than the merest formality.
After zine hours of oratory, confu-
sion and wild scenes Bryan made a dra-
matte and pathetic appeal for the party
principles he represents, closing / ntears
and arousing his hearers to great enthu-
siasm. The conservatives, however, were
In control, and after the roll was called
and two minor states changed to Parker,
the New Yorker had two-thirds of the
total vote, the nomination being made
unanimous on motion Of Gov. Dockery,
OF Missouri, amidst great cheering.
The Hope pioneer. [volume] (Hope, N.D.) 1882-1964, 1904-07-14

tempted dlctation to the party. Friend
ly interests argued that Parker simply
desired that his belief In the gold
standard be known.
A Warm Debate.
When the convention reassembled at
nine o'clock Senator Hill and other
Parker adherents offered as q solution
a telegram to Parker stating that the
monetary standard had been ignored
In the platform because it. was not
considered an issue in the campaign.
A resolution making the telegram to
Judge Parker the answer Of the con-
vention by which the incident should
be closed was made the subject Of
thrilling debate by the giants of the
party. All the ferceness of the ORR
ginal factional fight of the party over
platform and nominees was thrown
into the debate on the resolution. Will
liam ]. Bryan rose from a sick bed
and appeared on the platform, pale and
weak, to speak against the sending Of
the telegram. The most intense sus-
pense and interest of the convention
marked the session, every man, from
the humblest delegate to the most inn
portant leader being impressed by; the
remarkable crisis. Parker vas saved
from retirement and his declaration
for the gold standard accepted by vote
of the convention. The resolution
sending the message to Judge Parker
passed the convention on roll call by
a vote of TIA to 1879.
The Conventions Reply.
Following is the text of the telegram
sent to Judge Parker:
"The platform adopted by this con-
vention is silent on the question OF
the monetary standard because it is
no regarded by us as a possible issue
in the campaign and only campaign
issues were mentioned in, the plat
form. Therefore, there is nothing in
the views expressed by you in the
telegram just received which would
preclude a man entertaining them
from accepting a nomination on said
PLATFORM"

CARE OF VISITORS.
The Accommodations Mt Reasonable
Prices for Thousands Of People In
st. Louis During the Exposition.

Visitors to St. Louis in 1904 will
either enter the great Union Station
or disembark from. trains at points
nearer the Worlds Fair grounds. By
far the greater number, however, will
enter the building first named, which
is the largest passenger station in the
United States, not excepting that in
Boston.
In the center of the broad esplanade
of this station, which Is called the
Midway, will be found many booths
of information, in which will be men
and women thoroughly posted con-
corning the city and the Exposition
and who will have conveniently at
hand such printed instructions as
strangers may wish to receive. At
each. booth will be complete lists Of
the hotels and boarding houses, with
addenda thereto showing what rooms
are vacant. Also will be appended a
rate card.
Immediately outside the gates quick
transportation will be found to Any
part Of the city by the Market, the
Laclede, the Chouteau avenue, the
Eighteenth, the Park avenue and the
Compton Heights lines of street cars,
which are operated by the st. Louis
Transit Company. From these cars
n can transfer at the same fare to
any other line of the same company,
thus permitting the visitor to go any,
where he wishes for five cents.
At the request of the Worlds Fair
management the leading hotels of st.
Louis have signed an agreement in
which they promise not to increase
their rates during 1904. This agree
ment and the rates in force will also
be given to the visitor at the informa-
ton bureau and he can determine for
himself just where he wants to go be-
fore leaving Union Station and have
the assurance in advance that there
will be ne overcharge.
