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

when he Intimated that Judge Parker
might possibly vacate the head of the
ticket As soon as the recess was an
nounced, the delegates, instead of leav
ing the hall, rushed Into conferences. 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

HILL CRIES FOR JOY
Alternately Weeps and Laughs
When Parker Wins,
OVATION IS TENDERED HIM
Telegrams of Congratulations Pour
In Upon the Nominee, Who Passes
a Very Quiet Day at His
Country Home.
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. Senator
Cockrell today expressed his thanks to

hopeful and in. line with the traditions of

a quiet dignified, brainy man."

NECK OF THE BOTTLE
HOW TO FIND OUT
Fill a hottlo or commort glass with your
water and let it stand Si hours; a sedi
ment or settling indicates an Unhealthy
condltiori of the kidneys; if it stains the
lineu It is evidence of kidney trouble; too
frequent desire to pass It, or bain in the
back is also convincing proof that the
kidneys and bladder are out of Order.
What to Do.
There Is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed that Dr. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney remedy, fulfills
every wish In curing rheumatism, pairi In
tho back, kidneys, liver bladder and every
part of the urinary passage. It corrects
inability to hold water and scalding pain
in passing It, or bad effects following use
of liquor, wine or beer, and overdomes that
unpleasant necessity of being compelled
to go often during the day, and to get up
many times during the night. The mild
and the extraordinary effect Of Swamp
Root Is soon realized, it stands the high
est for its wonderful cures of the most
distressing cases. If you need a medlelne
you should have the best. Sold by drug
gists In fifty-cent and one-dollar sizes.
Tou may have a sample bottle of
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
and a book that tells all about it, both
sent absolutely free by mall. Address, Dr.

this generous offer in The Portland Sun
