sm THE SUNDAY OREGONIA, PORTLAND, JULY 10, 190. LL I IE Democrats Forget the Vice-Presidency. ROLL CALL IS STOPPED Mysterious-News From Esopus Spreads Rapidly. CLARK RULES WITH IRON ROD Declares Adjournment When Vote Is Against It Turner, Davis, Carmack and Harris Previously Nominated. ST. LOUIS, July 9. The Democratic Na tional Convontlon met at 2 o'clock this afternoon, but as the leaders were In con ference on the Vice-Presidential nomina tion, adjournment was taken In a short time until 5 o'clock. Chairman Clark -was in the Coliseum ten minutes" before this hour. Not only were there many vacant seats in the galleries, but a number of absentees were noticed among the delegates and alternates. Out-going trains today carried the first batch of the departing Convention crowd and many delegates planned on leaving for their homes tonight. It was- a close, muggy atmosphere Into which the crowd walked this afternoon. The setting sun poured in on the west side of the hall and mingled unwillingly with the white glare of tho electric arc lights. The majority of the delegates 4lvested themselves of their coats, folded thtm across their laps, and seizing palm fans, flapped them vigorously, listening to the music, and wondering how soon the party leaders would reach an agreement on the Vice-Presidential nominee. Opens With Air of Expectancy. A report that an attempt might be made to reopen the platform sjnd insert a finan cial plank spread rapidly in the hall. It created consternation among most of the delegates, who saw an end to their hope of leaving St Louis tonight or early to morrow, should such a coup be attempted. Mr. Bryan's collapse, and consequent absence, was looked upon In some quar ters as lending color to the rumor, and the session opened with an evident air of expectancy. Shortly before the session convened, the rumor that ex-Senator Davis, of West Virginia, had been agreed upon by tne leaders for the Vice-Presidency went rapidly through the hall, and delegates gathered in groups to discuss the situa tion. It was 5:37 o'clock when the first sign of opening the session was made- Chair man Clark called the convention to order and directed the delegates to take their &eats. Ball, of Texas, offered a motion, limit ing the nominating speeches to ten min utes, leaving the time for the seconding speeches at five minutes, and limiting tho number to three. It was adopted -without dissension. Roll-Call for Vice-Presidency. Roll-call of states was then called for the presentation of candidates for Vice President. Een at this time the gallories were less than half filled and great rows of vacant seats were visible. Alabama was called several times with no re sponse, but finally Mr. Russell, of that state, announcod that Alabama would glvo way to Illinois. Samuel Alschuler, of Illinois, arose and announced that F. P. Morris would speak for that state. Mr. Morris took the plat form to name James R. "Williams, of Illi nois Thanks to the few people present, he was able to do what no speaker be fore him had been able to do, and that was to make his voice audible to every person In tho auditorium from his first word. Cheers greeted the mention of Mr. Wil liams' name, but they did not come in a great measure from the delegates. Turner Placed in Nomination. . Colorado yielded to "Washington, and Chairman Clark recognized Frederick C. Robertson, of that state, who spoke for ex-Senator George Turner. There was con siderable confusion In the aisles by this time, and Mr. Robinson was not able to begin his address for about two minutes. Connecticut yielded to Indiana, and Delegate Sjtencer, of Indiana, seconded the nomination of "Williams. By this time the report that a telegram had beon received from Judge Parker de claring his position on the financial ques tion had become general. A crowd of delegates hurriedly gathered around Shee han, of New York, and Tillman, of South Carolina. Little conferences began to occur and the orators did not receive much at tention except from the galleries and the small fry who did not know that a prob able sensation was ripening all about them. Delaware gave her place in the call to "West Virginia, and the chair recognized John D. Alderson, of that state, who placed In nomination ex-Senator Henry G. Davis, of West Virginia. Senator Dubois, of Idaho, was the next speaker, and he rose to second the nomi nation of Mr. Turner, of Washlncton. David Overmeyer, of Kansas, placed ex Senator William A. Harris, of that state, In nomination in a brief speech from the floor. Senator Clark, of Montana, seconded the nomination of Turner. News From Esopus Spreads. As the unexciting routine of the nomi nating and seconding speeches proceeded, the storm that seemed "inevitable was gathering. Leaders hurried to and fro with anxious faces, and the news from Esopus spread rapidly. The floor filled with dele gates, and in the Parker sections men sat close together In whispered consulta tion. At S o'clock there were signs to the initiated that the session was going to be dramatic in the extreme, but the crowd smiled and listened to the flow of "favorite son" oratory, all unconscious of tho great things that were moving In the party's heart. The Tollcall of states proceeded until Maryland was reached. John Prentice Poo then took the platform and seconded the nomination of Mr. Davis, of West Virginia. Senator Culberson, of Texas,, secured recognition. He was visibly excited when he secured recognition, and mounting his chair, said: "For reasons which are obvious to all the delegates here, it seems to me that we ought not to proceed at this time to nominate a candidate for Vice-President, and I therefore move that the conven tion" Here cries of "Why?" interrupted him. "I think the delegates understand what I mean," he proceeded. Chairman Clark interjected, "Proceed." "'I repeat." concluded Senator Culber son, "that in the present exigencies which confront the convention, it ought not pro ceed to the nomination of a Vice-President" "Right," "Right," greeted this state ment "We want to know before a candidate for Vice-President is nominated who will be tho candidate for President" (Ap plause and cries of approval again inter rupted the Senator.) "When ho could be heard, he made his motion for a recess until 8:30. The din and excitement continued while the Senator was speaking, and he was cordially invited both to "keep on" and "sit down." Nebraska's response was a statement that she awaited with Interest the choice of New York. New York requested to be passed when called. "She has no choice" was announced when the Buckeye State was reached. Senator Carmack Named. Senator E. W. Carmack, of Tennessee, was placed In nomination by Delegate Hersey, of that 6tate. Mr. Hersey spoke from his chair, and his speech was very brief. The name of Senator Carmack was re ceived with applause. Senator Davis' nomination received a second from the District of Columbia dele gation. The first rumble of the approaching storm was heard at just 7 o'clock. Senator South, of Arkansas, broke In on the rollcall with a motion that, in view of the rumors that were disturbing the convention, a recess be taken until S:30 o'clock. His motion was put by the chair man. The vote was. in the opinion of roost people, lost, but Chairman Clark loudly banged his desk, declared It car ried, and quickly left the platform before the convention recovered from its amaze ment Confusion Is Intensified. The confusion was great before Culber son arose, but was intensified greatly Y OFFICIAIi BALLOT FOB PRESIDENT. ST. LOUIS, July 0.

In an Instant there were fully 20 groups in the hall, in the center of which were two or three which appeared greatly excited. The police again and again passed along the aisles, endeavoring to clear them, but the delegates refused to move, and the excitement grew rather than abated. A dense throng through which it was im possible to pass gathered in front of the chairman's desk, and strove desperately to learn the exact import of the message. Their efforts were unavailing, however. The leaders disappeared and the session closed with an atmosphere tense with ex pectancy as to what would occur when it reconvened at 8:30 P. M. FIRST SESSION IS BRIEF. Hearst Sends a Telegram Pledging the Ticket His Support. ST. LOUIS, July 9. The effect of last night's protracted and harassing ses sion was plainly evident when the hour arrived to which the recess had been taken. Chairman Clark was not pres ent Not over 300 delegates were in their seats and the galleries showed more empty chairs than visitors. The pyrotechnics were over, the red fire dying out the curtain was about to descend, and the general interest in the proceedings wa3 comparatively gone. For tho first time since the conven tion opened, it was possible to walk the aisles without treading upon the feet of other people and fighting for a passageway. The chairman arrived at 15 minutes after 2 o'clock, and that In cident, which heretofore has been tho signal for applause, was entirely un noticed. The prominent men in the party were absent Hill was in conference at the Southern Hotel, trying to settle upon the nominee for tho Vice-Prosldency. Colonel Guffey, of Pennsylvania; Hop kins of Illinois, Daniel of Virginia, and numerous others were absent long after the hour set for the commencement of the day's work. As the time passed and few of the leaders of the party came, it became evident that the cause for the delay was the general desire to reach an agreement upon the Vice-Presidential nominee by calllngthe roll. Word was passed around that Harmon "would be the man, then It was said it would go to Williams of Illinois, there being op position to Harmon on the part of the Southern and Western delegates. Chairman Clark resumed the gavel at 2:48 o'clock. Before tho formal open ing of the session tho band was sig naled for a tune as the delegates began to arrive, making too much confusion for the chairman to be heard. The rumor of a recess had spread and every one was anxious to know the procedure. The delay continued, how ever, waiting word on the Vice-President situation at the Southern Hotel. The band was utilized for entertain ment and a Tousing cheer arose as it struck up "Dixie." Rev. John T. Johnson, pastor of tho Delmar-Avenue Baptist Church, was in troduced and pronounced the invoca tion. His player follows: Lord God of our fathers, may we draw near ,to thaa a this hour, Ae, wo xjolc la the merer which thou art grantlns tsnto us, both In the days gone by, and Jn the days through which we are passing. "We thank thee that thou flldot move our fathers to the foundation of thla Government. Thy hand has been felt la our National history. Thou, 0 Jehovah, hast led this Nation In the choosing of her Presidents. We thank thee for these men of God who have set an example In virtue and wise administration. We rejoice in the wide flowing beneficence which has followed their leodershlp. Thy mercies have gone on from generation to generation dispelling darkness and overcoming obstacles. Though we have stumbled and fallen Into many tranicrfefistons and have received at thy hand punishment for our sins, jet in the midst of wrath thou didst remember mercy, and thou hast brought va out of confusion and peril and hast held together this mighty Nation, which only the omnipotent God could have wielded. Lord God of our salvation, Lord God of our Nation, Lord God of our fathers, we commend oursehes to thy thought, now, asking that wisdom may be sent down from above. Thou host led this convention to the choice of a leader, whose patience and piety have been un questioned, grant wisdom now In the selection ot a man worthy of the high honor of the Vice-Presidency. Spirit of the living God, lead this people, spread abroad the light of Intelligence, that this land may be .filled with knowledge and virtue and piety. We ask It, not because we are worthy, but In the name of the Lord Jesus. Governor Dockery was recognized at the conclusion of the prayer, and read a telegram from Senator Cockrell, fe licitating the convention on its nomi nee. Mr. Hopkins, of Illinois, secured rec ognition for A. 3L Lawrence, of that state, to read a telegram from the plat form. The telegram was from William R. Hearst thanking his friends for their support and Indorsing the nomi nee. The readinfc was warmly ap plauded. The convention then took a r.ecess until 5:20 P. M. A resolution expressing regret and sympathy at the death of Delegate Ja cob E. Border., of North Dakota, in the train wreck at Litchfield, July 3, was of fered, and the North Dakota delegation agreed to it Mr. Russell, of Alabama, was on his feet at onco and remarked that on ac count of tho sad news the convention should adopt appropriate resolutions, and In order to allow the members of North Dakota to confer he moved that a. re cess be taken until 5:30 o'clock. Cries of "No" were heard from all parts of the hall, but Chairman Clark put the motion, when a protest was made that there had been no second. "Is the motion seconded?" asked Mr. Clark, and amid another general cry of "No," "No," and a vigorous protest from all over the hall, Ti6 put the ques tion. The vote was overwhelmingly against the recess, but Mr. Clark de clared with a thump of his gavel that the motion was carried, and at 3:30 tho convention was declared in recess for two hours. ROOSEVELT WILL TALK LATER His Speech of Acceptance Will Deal With the Convention. OYSTER BAY, L. I., July 9. News of the nomination by the St Louis conven tion of Judge Parker for the Presidency was communicated to President Roose velt at the breakfast table today by Sec retary Loeb. The Information was given to the President by telephone from th executive offices in the village to Saga more Hill, but he made no comment on either the nomination of Judge Parker or any other action of the convention. What he may have to say concerning the Demo cratic platform and candidates probably will be said In his letter of acceptance of his own nomination by the Republican party. The President passed the day in his library and about Sagamore Hill with members of his family. No official vis itors were received. Hearst Thanks His Friends. ST. LOUIS, July 9. W. R. Hearst today sent the following telegram, which was read in the Convention: "A. M. Lawrence, St Louis: "I wish to thank my friends for thelt unfaltering support I think I can best express my appreciation of their loyalty by continued devotion to the principles of true Democracy, for which we have fought and by loyal support of the men chosen by the convention to lead the Democratic party.

ST. LOUIS. July 9. After the demon stration that followed Parker's nomina tion, an ovation was tendered David B. Hill, who was the supreme figure in the campaign for Parker. The New York delegates surged around him, shook bis hand, slapped him on the back and tried to force him to stand on a chair. Htf re fused, and, overcome by his feelings at the nomination, the tears streamed ddwh his face. He alternately laughed and wept for several moments. Mr. Hill later said: "Of course, I am delighted with the re sult and the more so because of tho two facts, first that Judge Parker was named on the first ballot, and, second, because, with one exception, no personal abuse or vituperation waa Indulged In. Each state was allowed to put in nomination their favorite son, and vote for him, as we had planned. Judge Parker will, I believe, make an ideal candidate and will fit the platform, which is also ideal." CLEVELAND IS WELL PLEASED Parker a Good Candidate, the Plat form He Has Not Read. BUZZARD'S BAY, Mass., July 9. For mer President Grover Cleveland, who is the guest of Joseph Jefferson here, was notified of the nomination of Judge Parker for President as soon ad he awoke this morning. Later Mr. Cleveland sent the following statement to the Associated Press: "Mr. Cleveland declines to see any rep resentative or any reporters of the press, but sends this word to the Associated Press from his room: "I am in absolute ignorance of tho ac tion of the St Louis convention except insofar as It has nominated Mr. Parker as Presidential candidate. With this result I am abundantly gratified, and I hope that the remainder of the work of tho convention will add to the encouraging prospects of Democratic success. This is all I can possibly say at this time. I do not know when I shall have an oppor tunity to read the platform adopted or to learn of the entire proceedings of the con vention. In any event. It is absolutely certain that no further expression from me may be expected at present I hope to be relieved of further importunity on this subject" TAMANY SOLIDLY BEHIND HIM Leader Murphy Says No One Need Have Any Doubt on This Point. ST. LOUIS, July 9. To the Associated Press, Charles F. Murphy, of Tammany, said today: "No one need have any doubt where Tammany stands in this Presidential can vass. It Is solidly behind Alton B. Parker r President. There Is never any doubt here Tammany stands when a candidate regularly nominated. We came here th the belief that Cleveland was tha trongest man to nominate and the easiest man to elect It Was ascertained, after consultations, that In this conclusion we did not agree with the majority of the delegates. Now that the convention has spoken and paid the high honor to Judge Parker, Tammany Hall will go to work at once In New York County and roll up for him the largest plurality ever given to a Presidential candidate of tho Democ racy." COCKRELL EXPRESSES THANKS Missouri Delegation's Work for Him Highly Appreciated. WARRENSBURG, Mo., July 9.
