"And I am here today," he said, "to hand for the same kind of Democracy hat I stood for at Denver. “I would not have been selected for hat position unless my Democracy had ■cceived the stamp of approval of the tentleman from Nebraska. "it is a matter of keen regret to me oday that I can not find myself in iceord with either of my two friends." There came a strong series’ of Bryan alls. Again and again the Bryan wor ■hippers broke into the attempts of he speaker to be heard. "I shall, as much as I regiet to dif fer from my old friends, east my vote for Alton B Parker." he said at last. Bell concluded at 2:05 and Senator Shively of Indiana moved that the roll tie called and that all nominations be ■losed. Disorder followed, and at 2:21 the sergeant-at-arms announced that his deputies were instructed to clear tiie galleries unless the speakers could tie heard. Most of the noise, however, was coming from the delegates. J .1 Fitzgerald, of Ndw York, came to aid with a speech for the Parker .■ause, but the convention was in an apron: Fitzgerald's words were hard y audible ten feet from tiie speaker's stand. Shively's motion was not put and Fitzgerald tried to float his voice over the storm's sway. Finally the sergeant, it-arms announced that unless the noise stopped tile convention would ad journ and the visitors would not be al lowed t.o return. "Judge Parker has earnestly support 'd the Democratic, party." shouted Fitz, gerald. "And the I'nnnon lule: " shouted the ilelegates in derision because l''itzger ild hid ben one of the Democrats who had helped "Uncle Joe" once in a pinch Fitzgerald still tried to speak. He never had a chance The delegates sent roar after roar and shout after shout over th? hall Threats were made to clear the house The galleries, igninst which the thriat« were direi t' d. were not making tlu> noise. "I have an important annour. ement to make." called the sei geant-.v-arms. "Unless order Is restored the tonveii Hon will adjourn and those people in the galleries will not be permitted to come back " A ‘urge force of I'olieemen with drawn clubs • ntered the hall and marched down the center aisle to )>re sert e order Some one had sent a hur y call sot them.

Bryan came to still the tumult. Charley White and sou; policemen tried Io jmi J. T Hall, a Michigan del egate, mil of tiie hall. Hail had no seat and a row followed that resulted in his-staying with his delegation. Mr. Btyan said: "1 rise to a jjoint of order. Our con vention is not being conducted accord ing to rules. Tiie chairman said tile roll would be called while persons were standing ready to speak and awaiting recognition. Bryan Protests Stopping Debate. "My point of order is that there can be no limit on either number or length of speeches; that, the chairman has no light to close this debate and It must proceed In accordance with the call." Senator Luke Lea moved that each side be allowed five minutes to talk. Cone Johnson, of Texas, came first to la-ke the time thus granted without dissent He sought to get enthusiasm by speaking of the recor,! of the party. His t ibute to Clevelsnd got n mere shadow of demonstration. "Tiie time has come to act." he said, "and if we don't hesitate but put our [bark boldly to sea th- Republican par ty will go down in defeat "I care not where this- suggestion came from. All J know is that the fight is on and Bryan is on one side and Wall Street is on the oth"r. ' Great applause followed. He confessed that he had not voted for Bry an in tß9t> and said he diight to have done So "To put the knife in Bryan will be Ito pm the chill on 51)0.000 Democrats in Texas and on 8.000."P0 D' mo- atg in the United States." As the roll was ordered called Tom Taggart, of Indiana, advanced to the stand and stood among the tally clerks. The first struggle over the unit rule came over the vote of the Alabama del egation when the chairman of the del egation announced that the state dele gation was instructed to vote under the unit rule. This was denied and the resolution binding the delegation to the unit rule was read. Governor O’Neil Claims Unit Rule. At the very Jump Governor O’Neil, of Alabama, claimed that Iris delegation was instructed as a unit, and choked off the Bryan vote in his delegation. There -was lively dissent and the chair exiled for the resolution of the state convention. It was read and it only provided for the unit rule to be applied on questions affecting the can didacy of Underwood. Senator Luke Lea was at once on his feet. "I deny that the candidacy of Mi. Underwood is any way connected with the question of the, election of Judge Parker." h*e said, ''and if the chair so rules I shall appeal from the decision of the chair.” The chair decided 'hat the unit rule did not apply. One and a half votes from Alabama went to Bryan and the roll went on. "t'al! the roll,” demanded the Ari zona delegates. "We want tm see who was for Bryan and w ho votes for Wall street.” There came an interesting scene when Oklahoma was called. A tali fig ure. innocent of coat, stood in his chair and grasped the standard of his state. His long form, typical of the cowboy days, with slouch hat. held instant at tention. "I challenge the vote of Oklahoma.” he drawled, so all might hear. The speaker was W. H. Murrav, known as "Alfalfa Bill." "Does your delegation vote as a unit?" demanded the clerk. "We vote as a unit sep-a-rate!y,” drawled Murray while the crowd roar ed. The chair decided that the vote of Oklahoma was 20 for Bryan under th unit rule. Parker’s Choice Declared Unanimous. The '•oatless and dishevederi com batants kept up their fight. Murray called down a pe'spiring warrior be hind him, anil the convention passed the state while it settled its own trou bles. Murray did not like the idea. 11? >tood high in his chair, clinging to the standard. "Sit down!" said an assislanJ sei geant-at -a rms. “You git out ’en heah!" rejoined Murray, and he held his fighting top until he got all of his state's votes for Bryan under the rule. When the final vote was announced as Parke' 578; Bryan 509 1-2 Senator Luke Lea said "Mr. Chairman. Inasmuch as Judge Parker has received a majority of the votes. 1 move that his election be made unanimous." “No! no!" cam? from many parts of the hall. Nobody heard the motion put. but the chair declared it carried. Chairman .Mack named Senator Stone. Senator t.ea and Judge Huds peth. of New Jersey, to escort Judge Parker to the chair. Derides Roosevelt, and G 0. P. Row. In bis speech Alton B. Parker, tem porary < hairmfln. said: "We meet while the hills yet echo to wild cries of 'Liar!' 'Thief!' and 'Trai tor!' and furious wails of fraud, brib ery, treachery and corruption, and our rars are wearv with the din of the ar ticulate shrieks and passionate vlllfia i alien of the most shameful brawl of our political history. "Our candidates, however, are with out exception men of such lofty mien that we meet immune from the dis temper which seized the Chicago con vention and privileged to discharge a solemn public duty calmly, deliberately, seriously. Th' ian r of government by the people the world over has been mate rially checked by the disgraceful brawl which terminaled in the bedlam of Chi cago. Every good citizen has been put to shame b.v the brutality and the abuse which characterized this wrangle between a president and an ex-presi dent. Friendship, gratitude, party loy alty, patriotism and common decency were forgotten in the tussle. "The assault upon the unwritten pro hibition against a third term made in the wild scramble for the Republican nominations warns us of the vital ne cessity of incorporating in our consti tution a safeguard against repeated terms. "Unquestionably we have been wrong in assuming that a tiadition against a third term constitutes a sufficient safe guard against unscrupulous ambition for unlimited power. We need A defi nite constitutional limitation which shall prevent imperialistic souls from forcing personal continuation in office for long periods or for life and the per sonal selection of a successor in office. And the constitutional provision should go ofte step farther than our recently assailed tradition. The provision should limit to a single term.” “Not a Reactionary Among Us.’’ "The time has come when the sal vation of the country demands the de struction of the leaders of a debauched party and tiie restoration to place and pow'er of men of high ideals who will wage unceasing war against, corrup tion in politics, who will enforce the law against both rich and poor and who will treat guilt as personal and punish it accordingly. "Victory will be ours if we but do our duty this year. "What is our duty? Tn think alike as to men and measures? Impossible, even for our great party. There is not a reactionary among us. Ail Demo crats are progressives. But it Is in evitably human that we shall not agree that in a single highway is found tiie only road to progress or each make the same man of all our worthy candi dates bis first choice. "It is possible, however, and it is our duty to put aside all selfishness, to consent cheerfully that the majority shall speak for each of us and to march out of this convention shoulder to shoulder, intoning Hie praises of our chosen leader—and that will be his due. whichever of the honorable and able men now claiming our attention be chosen.” Negro Author Urges Race to Support T.R.

BLAME NONE FOR GEORGIAHANGING Coroner’s Jury Declares “Un known Parties” Lynched Pinehurst Servant. VIENNA. GA„ June 25.—“ We find lha.l the deceased came to her death at the hands of parties unknown." This was the verdict rendered today by the coroner’s jury that Investigated the lynching of Annie Barkdale, the ne gress who slew her mistress. Mrs. B. E. Jordan, at Pinehurst yesterday after noon. The verdict was rendered in the face of the fact that the automobiles in which the lynching party pursued the slayer and the sheriff are known to be owned by some of the most prominent citizens of Cordele, Vienna anti •Pine hurst. Great crowds attended the sitting nf the jury and saw the shot-riddled body of the negrees cut from the tree, after it had swung from a limb for more than ten hours. Sheriff Bennett has made no arrests and none are expected. No further ex citement has followed the summary vengeance taken on the negro slayer, but great numbers of people from all about the countryside are coming into Pinehurst to attend Mrs. Jordan's fu neral. Sympathy Is Entirely With the Lynchers. The Barkdale negress killed Mrs. Jordan without the slightest reason. Airs. Jordan, wife of a wealthy planta tion owner, had reproved the negress for failure to do some work about the house. Without a word the negress sprung upon her, stabbed her in the back three time and then, as her mis tress lay upon the floor already dying, the woman cut her throat so terriblv that the head was nearly severed from the body. Neighbors ran to the scene in time to catch the negress as she was leaving the house. A glance showed them the terrible crime that had been committed and they fell upon the negress and were on the eve of carrying her to a’ tree when Sheriff Bennett, who had been notified of the killing, arrived from Vienna in an automobile in time to save her life. Sheriff Starts Race To Cordele Jail. The sheriff bundled the slayer into his touring car and. with the crowd in full chase, started on the road to the Jail at Hawkinsville. The sheriff knew rhat the enraged citizens would never permit the negress to escape lynching if they could overtake her, so he planned a ruse and instead of hurrying on to Hawkinsville with his prisoner he swerved into the Cordele road and made all speed to that town. Within ten minutes after the sheriff left Pinehurst, the crowd was in pur suit. A half dozen of the residents who knew of the crime brought forth their automobiles. They were instantly filled with angry men armed with guns and pistols and they started full speed in chase of the negress. When the road swerves off to Cordele the leading chauffeur saw the tracks of the sher iff's automobile, and turned to follow the m. Just a few minutes after the Bark lale woman had been put into the Cor dele jail the pursuers rushed up in a great cloud of dust. They demanded the woman of the sheriff and were about to storm 'he jail when they learrt. -d that 'he negress had ben spirited away to an empty house about 500 yards away. Upon this house they de scended more tnan 50 strong and though the sheriff and his few deputies resisted stoutly for a moment, they were too greatly outnumbered to hold the negress against the mob. Some of the mob would have lynch ed her then and there, but others who had known Mrs. Jordan, planned a more graphic vengeance. They put the cring ing woman aboard one of the six auto mobiles and began the sixteen-mile run back to the scene of the crime. The other automobiles, with the rest of the crowd, followed swiftly and silently straight through Vienna and on to Pinehurst. When they reached Pine hurst. the' drove direct to the. negro quarters of the town. They stopped the automobiles, lifted the negress from the leading machine and carried he l beneath a tree at the roadside. One of the crowd threw the free end of a rope over a limb, a dozen hands grasp ed it and a second later the slayer was dangling ten feet above the ground: Hardly a word was spoken. Then pis tols were drawn, two volleys rang out and the negress’ body was riddled with .bullets. The crowd dispersed quietly, leaving the body of the Barkdale woman t wing ing from the tree. Mrs. Jordan will be buried this aft ernoon. Friends from all this section of Georgia are coming to Pinehurst to attend her funeral, for she was one of the best-loved women of the neigh borhood. Beforq marriage she was Miss Jennie Bartow, ot Americus. Her hits band is at the point of collapse from grief and shock, Watson Will Not Go to Baltimore THOMSON GA.. June 25.
