enthusiasm, with flags flying,
five thousand voices lifted
in deafening cheers and the ban j

Banner for Mrs. Hall.
St - Douis, July 9.—The blue
banner of Georgia, which played
such an ini portrait part in the
nomination of Judge Parker, i-
now the treasured property of
Mrs. Charles Mercer Hall, the
of Judge Parker. Chair¬
man James R. Gray presented
the banner to Mrs. Hall shortly
after the nomination was made
this morning.
Mrs, Hall told Mr. Gray this
morning after she had been pre¬
sented with the Georgia banner,
that the emblem when she first
saw it gave her more confidence
in the situation than the words
of any of the friends who came
up to the box.
“I saw it during the first dem¬
onstration yesterday over Bryan,’
she explained to Mr. Gray,
“when it seemed as though the
would never quit cheer-
iug. But when l saw this banner
rise over Georgia’s section and
then go waving through the hall
to be joined by all the other
states’ standards at the platform,
I felt better and I watched the
banner instead of Bryan, for I
thought at that minute it was
the most beautiful object I had
ever seen and I felt if I could only
get to it, I would embrace it.
Now that it is mine I shall keep
it by me as a most treasured pos¬
session .”
While Mrs. Rail fondly held
the banner, David B. Hill, Will¬
iam F. Sheehan and others from
New l T ork state made their way
through the crowd to shake hands
with her on the victory. '
“See this,” she exclaimed, as
she waved the banner enthusias¬
tically before them, ‘'this is the
Georgia banner that started the
convention for Parker.”
