Convention outranks Committee.

Mr. Bryan said: 81 call your atten-
tion to the fact that our rules provide
that the national committees recon-
mendation is not final The very fact
that the convention has the right to
accept or reject that recommendation
is proof that its judgment is of higher
consideration than the wisdom of the
committee. If any of you ask for my
credentials, beg to tell you that in
three campaigns l have been the cham
pion of the democratic party's princi.
pies and have received the votes of
six million democrats. l remind you
that confidence reposed in a human
being carries with it certain responsi.
bilities."
Mr.. Bryan said he would not deserve
this confidence If he were unwilling
to meet defeat and humiliation in its
defense.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE OF
FERED JUDGE PARKER FOR TEMPO
RARY CHAIRMAN-W. j. BRYAN
NOMINATED SENATOR KERN
Parker and Bryan Nominated for Temporary
Chairman Parker Won by Vote of
578 to 512

Bryan Places Kern in Nomination.
II was after 1890 before the con-
vention got down to work. There is
one sharp contrast between this con-
yention and the republican conven.
tion held at Chicago last week. There
the convention hall swarmed with
blue-coated policemen, but to find a
"cop" here is like searching for a
needle in haystack.
Judge Alton B. Parkers name for
chairman was read by order
OF National Chairman Norman e.
Mack.
Mr.. Bryan suddenly rose from his
seat on the platform. This was the
first time the audience had seen him.
Tumultuous cheers swept the hall and
continued for some time despite his
attempts to secure quiet. When ST.
lence finally came he placed Senator
Kern's name in nomination to oppose
Judge Parker.

Cardinal Gibbons Prayer.

Cardinal Gibbons delivered the in
vocation at the opening of the con
veption. He spoke as follows:
I'VE pray Thee o God of might,
wisdom and Justice, through Whom
authority is rightly administered. laws
are enacted and judgment decreed, as
sist with Thy Holy Spirit of counsel
and fortitude. the president of these
United States, that his administration
may be conducted in righteousness,
and be eminently useful to Thy people
over whom he presides, by encour-
aging due respect for virtue and re-
ligion. by faithful execution of the
laws of justice and mercy and by re-
straining vice and immortality
Let the light of Thy divine wisdom
direct the deliberations of this con-
vention and shine forth in all its pro-
ceedings and enactments, so that they
may tend to the preservation of peace
and good will and the preservation of
concord and harmony.
May authority be exercised without
despotism, and liberty prevail without
license. May this convention demon
strate once more to the American peo-
pie and to the world at large that the
citizens of the United States have
solved the problem of self-government
by exercising and tolerating the broad
est and most untrammeled freedom of
discussion in their political assemblies,
without dethroning reason and without
invading the sacred and inviolate do.
main of law and of public order.
May the delegates assembled to Sc.
lect a candidate for chief magistrate
be ever mindful that they are the
sons of the same Heavenly Father
that they are the brothers of the same
national family, that they are fellow
citizens of the same glorious repub.
lie, that they are joint heirs of the
same heritage of freedom, and may II
be their highest ambition to transmit
this inheritance, unimpaired to their
children and their children's children.
May the consciousness of this com.
munity of interests or of destiny ban.
ish from their hearts all bitterness
hatred and i'll will, and inspire them
with sentiments of genuine charity
benevolence and mutual respect and
forbearance.
1--WE recommend likewise to Thy
unbounded mercy all our brethren and
fellow citizens throughout the United
States, that they may be blessed in
the knowledge and sanctified in the
observance of Thy most holy law;
that they may be preserved in union
and in that peace which the world can
not give and after enjoying the bless
ings of this life, they may be ad
mitted to those which are eternal"

ocratic convention been confronted
with such uncertainty as to choice of
presidential candidate and platform as
that which was convened in Baltimore
today at the Fifth Regiment Armory.
One thousand and ninety-four dele

the big hall was crowded with alter

ing democrats of the country. As two
thirds, or 729, delegates must agree
before decision is reached as to the
presidential nominee, shrewd observ-
ers OF events are of the opinion that
several ballots will be necessary to
reach a choice.
Chairman Norman E. Mack OF the
national committee called the conven-
ton to order with a brief speech in
which he lauded the party and pointed
with pride to its record. After the

1t is predicted today that the con-
vention will be an unusually long one,
owing to the number of candidates in
the field and the imprisoned oratory
