ST. LOUIS. July 9.—I a. m.—Judge
'Alton B. Parker had been named by
Martin W. Littleton and William Ran
dolph Hearat by D. M. Delmaa for pres
ident Both orators were applauded at
length. Anti-Parker delegations at
tempted to create enthusiasm for their
. candidates, but the Parker men re
mained undisturbed and unconcerned.
Hearst delegates paraded the hall but
the showing was small in comparison
With tho Parker procession which pre
ceded it
Nominating speeches for Gray of
Delaware and other favorite son can
didates and seconding ' speeches for
both Parker and Hearst occupied the
convention for several hours. The con
vention seats about 10,500 persons, but
from appearances hundreds more had
been admitted until the crowded con
dition of the hall endangered every
life. As soon as the convention had
o been called to order Chairman Clark
announced that the report of the com
mittee on resolutions was ready. Sena
tor Daniel read the report as chairman
of the committee. The confusion was so
great that not a word could be heard
climbing on chairs and cheering lus
tily.
Tho messenger which Ch.xlrmnn
Clark had sent to the committee on
resolutions, returned with a gloomy
report of the readiness of the com
mittee to 'appear with Its Important
document, and the waiting continued.
At,-10:48 Chairman Clark arose and
let fall his huge gavel.
“The- convention will be In order.”
he demaned. The clerk then picked
up the megaphone and announced that
the session would begin with prayer
by Rev. Samuel Sales, of St. Louis.
The delegates nnd spectators at
once arose to their feet, nnd stood dur
ing the invocation. There was no
trouble j n securing order f"r the long
delay, had wearied the delegates and
they seemed anxious for action.
ST. LOUIS, July 8.—Rabbi Sale, of
Shaaree Emmeth congregation
ten feet from tho platform.
The great climax of the convention
—the nomination of a candidate for
president, followed Immediately on tho
adoption of the platform.
Alabama yielded to New York. Mr.
Littleton's speech Immediately pleased
his audience, and when he concluded
pandemonium reigned. A scene that
recalled Wm. J. Bryan's nomination
eight years ago was enacted when two.
girls in white sprang to the front of
the platform and waved flowers and
flags. The young women were Misses
Adele nnd Evelyn Hey wood, of SL
Louis. With renewed outbursts the
Immense throng cheered them until a
picture of Judge Parker, on a six by
nine foot canvas attracted the thund
erous cheering of thousands. The
cheering continued fully 25 minutes.
Even then ten minutes elapsed before
the chairman dared to call the next
state. Arkansas yielded to Tennessee,
and Senator Carmack seconded the
nomination of Judge Parker. There
was great confusion during the speech.
California, a Hearst state, was next
in order, and S. M. Dolmas of that state
nominated Mr. Hearst. The hail was
a bedlam when Mr. Dolmas concluded.
The Morning Session.
ST. LOUIS, July 8.—The Democratic
national convention spent the morn
ing hours In waiting for the commit
tee on resolutions. A committeeman
was appointed by Chalrmun Champ
Clark to cull on the resolutions com
mittee be submitted to the platform
would be submitted to the convention.
Just before the noon hour the con
vention's emissaries announced that
the resolutions committee would re
quire until 8 o'clock tonight to pre

At the conclusion of the prayer an
He compiled promptly with the re
quest and revealed the best nnd strong
est voice thus far heard In the conven
tion.
What president has been brave
enough to enforce the law against the
labor union violator of law? It was a
Democratic president.” he said, and ap
plause greeted the assertion.
He passed on to the color question
and declared that If when the black, or
yellow races came Into contact with
white people, that race would not
m'.t suicide. It must remain absolutely
distinct. A shout from the- Southern
delegates greeted the statement.
He declared that Booker T. Wash
ington would soon outlive ids undoubt
ed usefulness If he did not cease to
yield to the teachings and Influences of
the Republican party and Its chieftain.
He urged the men of the West and
North to refrain from oppressing the
South by advocating anything thnt
tended to obliterate the racial lines. He
depreented the fact that In the Repub
lican convention not one man had ris
en to speak against the plank In that
party's platform which urged reduction
of Southern representation In congress
because of alleged disfranchisement of
voters In the South.
The speaker worked himself up to a
high pitch of excitement, ns with white
face nnd ringing voice, ho drew a pic
ture of the approaching battle between
the parties nnd concluded with the
words: “Let us make the Republicans
name the battlefield nnd let us make
them call It ’Waterloo,
The speaker finished and the band
following him Close tip played the "Star
Spangled Banner." nnd then swung
Into ’’Dixie,’’ which received more than
the usual tribute because of the speech
of Mr. Hobson, which had dealt
conditions In the South. In his efforts
to secure order, Chairman Clnrk broke
his gavel handle short off. The
mlttee, headed by\Representative Oliie
James, which had been dispatched to
,the rooms of the resolutions commit

was Introduced amid great applause,
His announcement wns: "Your com

mlttee Informs us thnt they will be ....
able to report to this Convention until
8 o’clock tonight, at which time they
\vll| bring to you a unanimous report
signed by every member of tho
mlttee.”
Great applause and cheers greeted
this last statement,' and as soon ns
Mr. James could be heard again he
continued: "New York. Nebraska.
Virginia nnd Wisconsin have nil Joined
hands and will bring in a platform thnt
will carry us to a glorious victory In
November."
Again the convention voiced
pleasure nt the news and a mighty
shout went up.
Mr. James followed IiIh last an
nouncement with a motion to ndJOurn
until 8 o'clock tonight. A second -was

A demand was made for the report of
the resolutions committee. As no re

mined to call the roll of states for the
purpose of having the names of the
next national committee announced.
A cull for the committee to meet at
the Jefferson hotel as soon as the con

As the clerk pronounced the words

Another call was made for the report

ST. LOUIS, July 8.- The first genu
ine reception of the evening wns given
to Senator Hill of New York, who
made his first appearance In the hall.
Gen. Nelson A. Miles v.as also pres
ent for th** first time.
At 8 o’clock there was not a vacant
seat in the vast auditorium. From plat
form to topmost gallery it was packed
\\ ith *!*•!* c *T*-e Hern • apd sp. < t •-
tors. The heat was Intense. The streets
on the four sides of,the Coliseum were
impassable.
By the time the chairman called the
convention to order the hall wax filled
to the danger line and beyond. A series
thumps on the presiding

which he stood.
An Ohio delegate after repeatedly
addressing the chairman In a loud
manner demanded order.
"All right, sit down nnd keep quiet
and we will have order," retorted Mr.
Clark.
Then turning, he directed again thnt
the aisles he cleared. Senator Daniel's
exhaustion from his long session with
the resolutions committee wns nppn-
rent.To tho vast audience which faced
him he was but a silent figure with
moving lips.
Ten minutes went by with the same
disorder, the reading of .the platform
not being heard when an Interruption
was made at the Instance of Chairman
Clark, nt which order was demanded,
hut Ineffectually. Disturbances re
sulting from cries for order from va
rious portions of the hall exhausted
the patience of Chairman Clark and
he gave personal directions to have
several persons quieted or put out.
Senator Daniel, however, refused to he
disturbed. He proceeded with the
rending of the platform regardless of
the fact thnt not one soul in the hall
except perhaps the stenographer who
stood at the steps just beneath him
heard a word.
Senator Daniel concluded reading the
platform nt 8::>r. o’clock.
, When It was observed that he had
tsed reading, the* convention broke
Into cheers.
Senator Daniel said: "I am unnnl

adopted by a viva voce vote,
two or three delegations voting In tho
negative, apparently In n spirit of fun,
Chairman Clark then put the motion
to adopt the report and another viva
voce vote carried It.
Temporary Chairman Williams
mounted thp steps leading up tr
platform, swung his hat round
head, nnd the delegates, following his
lead, roared their npplnuse again nn<
again, while the band played "Hall Co
lumbln."
Nominations for President,

states for the nomination of a candidate
for president," shouted the chairman
A wild cry of delight enme from the
galleries, who seemed to think
whole thing a show run for their enter
tainment.

"Alabama yields to the Empire Stat
of New York." called Delegate Davl
Russell Of Alabama, st. inning In hi*
chair, one arm grasping the standard

a full, clean shaven face, with a heavy
mass of dark brpwn hair, tossed back
from his hrm\ and ears, took the
amid ringing Applause to place Judg*
Parker nf New York In nomination,
Mr. Littleton’s manner of speaking Is
calm and deliberate and he uses fe
gestures. His voice is full, resonant
'nnd of decidedly pleasing quality and
could be henrd further than that of any
speaker who had preceded him. with
the possible exception of Richmond P.
Hobson.

And between these, the beginning
