After Me wmind bad bea dressed KTkew r'arnS boms. . By WMiam Allen White. Denver, Tulv 8. The conven tion today had two distinct thrills" not jumping spasms of emotion, uuj. ranu nomeopatnic closes -or joy such as often come to people over 40 who discover that Jho worst is over. One of thesrepi Bodes occurred when former Gov ernor Francis of Missouri walked on ggs across the convention in his painstaking apology for eulo gizing Grover Cleveland. It was" a fine piege of balancing, and did credit lf the living and the dead, even though the governor's elab orate explanation that he could praise- Cleveland without discred iting Bryan was an excursion upon more or less debatable ground. ' The second thrill of real Ufa in the convention came hen the erowd called for Judge Parker. He aroae, a short necked, sloping shouldered man who Beams to have eoftly sidled rather that roughly elbowed his way through th Jostling throng. He made an excellent impression and the rn-take of excited breath came when he brought out his sidetracked resolution on Cleveland. Tha crowd hoped he would move to sub stitute his resolution for the Nebraska resolution, which obviously had Bryan's indorsement The crowd yearned for a fight. It would liked to hnv uoi, Parker throw down the gauntlet For in the Brvan resolution r.laMianA ki called able, efflole-it, forceful and number of other things, but there waa nothing about his honestv with th - dominant note of Cleveland's character. Parker's Basolattoau " The Parker resolution in Its first B0 I words spoke of Cleveland's Integrity and referred to him as a custodian nf Democratic faith, which, of course, ho was not, unless the faith ia bifurcated, with one section in the custody or Bryan and the other ia the custody of Cleveland. But, the pleasurable gasp at the courage of Judge Parker in read ing his discarded resolution. the con vention sighed sadly when It found that there was to be no fight, and- that Judge Parker waa to do nothing mora dauntless than to second the motion of Nebraska. So the convention proceede.t upon its regular course and proceeded to drive the dray over Ouffey of Peun sylvanta. It will be carefully explained by th Pennsylvania delegation that -the con vention had given the bolting; delega tion of 23 the preference over the reg ular delegation of 45, but It' made no difference. The program had come front the Inner temple and tha delegates tooK to the program. In the commltte rooms of the various delegations for 14 hours the delegates seggregatad and lt the several states had been devoting themselvea to the gentle art of burning reformers at the stake.
