TICKET IS NAMED
PARKER AND DAVIS DEMORACY'S
STANDARD BEARERS.
BOTH ARE BY ACCLAMATION
Two Full Nights of Strenuous Work
and Much Gxctcment Friends of
Parker Havo the Situation Well In
Hand.
ST. LOUIS. Tho national demo
cratic convention met Friday morning,
but tho commltteo on platform being
unablo to report, after an hour's ses
sion, adjournment was taken to 8
o'clock In tho evening.
Reassembling at that time, tho ses
sion was continuous for ten ' hours,
nomination of Judgo Parker for tho
presidency taking placo at 5:40 n. m.
It was a night of Impassioned oratory
and of taunting invective. For ten
hours sensational demonstrations wero
In evidence.
Parker lacked Just nlno votes when
tho first roll call was ended, but beforo
tho vote was announced Idaho chang
ed six votes to Parker nnd Nebraska
followed with two. Parker now lacked
but one, and West Virginia gave him
thirteen and Washington ten, making
brought his total to C08.
Beforo this could bo announced,
Governor Dockery of Missouri with
drew Cockrell's name, and moved that
Parker's nomination be made unani
mous. This was done with a yell and
n demonstration was started. Tho bal
lot stood ns follows: Parker, 658;
Hearst, 200; Cockrell, 42; Wall, 27;
Olnoy, 37; McClellan, 3; Miles, 3;
Gray, 8; Williams, 8; Towne, 2; Color,
1. Total, 989.
Two-thirds was required to nomi
nate. Ho Bpcedlly got tho required
number by tho change of Idaho, Neva
da nnd West Virginia, whoso votes
brought histotal to G98.
Tho vote of Nebraska upon tho pres
idential nominees was divided as fol
lows: Hearst, 4; Cockrell, 4; Olncy,
1; Gray, 1; Wall, 1; Miles, 1; Paul
son, 4.
Everybody was too tired to engage
In much enthusiasm, and a motion to
adjourn to 5 p. m. was greeted with a
howl of affirmation, ns tho 11,000 spec
tators and 1,000 delegates mado a
break for the exits.
All night long those thousands had
sat patiently and watched tho waging
of a most extraordinary battle.
Tho, climax of tho night of sensa
tionalism came at 4 o'clock In tho
morning, when, after eight hours of
noisy clamor, William Jennings Bry
an, in tho midst of absolute silence,
began a speech. In which he seconded
tho nomination of Cockrell of Mis
souri. It was tho event for which the con
vention had been waiting. Ho was
fighting to provent tho nomination of
Parker. But ho was leading a forlorn
hope. In a flery speech ho seconded
tho uomlnation of every candidato ex
copt Parker.
Senator Daniel concluded his read
ing of tho compromise platform at 8:55
Friday night, and immediately moved
its adoption, his was carried by an
overwhelming vote, as a part of tho
prearranged program. The utmost con
fusion reigned during the reading,
Daniel's voice being wholly Inaudible
In the great hall.
Immediately after the adoption of
tho platform Chairman Williams as
cended tho stops and shouted, above
the din which greeted him: "Tho
clerk will now call tho roll of states
for the nomination of a candidato for
president."
For a few moments the convention
was In an uproar, tho galleries Join
ing. Then tho secretary succeeded In
making himself heard, as ho called tho
namo of the first state, in alphabetical
order, Alabama.
''Alabama yields to tho Empire State
of New York," screamed Delegate
Russell, Jumping upon his chair, and a
roar of cheers went up as Martin W.
Littleton of Now York mounted the
platform.
With tho first words spoken In Lit
tloton's strong, rich voice, silence fell
upon tho vast assemblage, and ho was
given tho closest attention as ho mado
the speech nominating the man whom
destiny had already picked as tho
choice of tho party.
Only now and then wero thero brlrf
outbursts of applause and cheers,
when tho speaker delivered a telling
sentence. Thoso demonstrations swell
ed Into a roar of approval when Little
ton said:
"If you ask mo why Judgo Parker
has been silent, I answer becauso ho
has not attempted to bo tho master of
his party, but ia content to bo its serv
ant." As ho concluded his speech, tho roar
beenmo a hurricane, thunderous, tu
multuous, passing beyond all control.
States In tho Parker column toro their
standards from tho fastenings and be
gan a wild, shrieking march around
tho hall; tho Michigan delegation
mounting the platform and planting
Its hugo banner behind tho chair,
while thousands of voices wero Joined
in n frenzy of sound.
When Iowa was reached in the roll
TIEN TSIN A telegram from Chin
Wang Tao says tho British gunboat
Esploglo reached thero on her return
from New Chwang on July 8. It was
originally Intended to provont tho Es
pieglo from leaving Chin Wang Tao
for Now Chwang but tho messago to
this end was received too late. Tho
Russians did not allow her to enter
tho harbor of Now Chwang. This evi
dently was pro-arranged for the British
consul at New Chwang, C. Gross,

bor and communicated with officers.
call ono of tho delegates started a
small riot by referring to his state's
"unpurchased and unpurchasablo dele
gation." A roar of protest followed,
Mhlch continued until tho speaker was
compelled to leave his placo and find
a seat In tho section assigned to Ala
bama. At 3:35 in tho morning, Just ns th;
first gleam of daylight appeared, Wil
liam. J. Bryan appeared upon tho plat
form nnd was given a tumultuous ova
tion. By consent, tho timo limit upon
epecchmaking was removed to permit
him to address tho convention, defin
ing his position.
Ho spoke for fifty minutes, swnying
tho great assembly with his passion
ato sentences concerning tho history
of tho party during tho last eight
years. His hearers were with him In
sympathy, swept along by what waa
perhaps the most remarkablo address
ho has ever made.
Nebraska, ho stated, would not In
sist upon any ono nominee, but would
loyally support any mnn of character
and good reputo who might bo chosen
by tho party. Ho concluded, in a wild
whirl of applause, by seconding tho
nomination of Cockrell of Missouri.
Mr. Bryan was attentively listened
to, but his words had not the effect of
changing opinion, ns tho nomination of
Judgo Parker on tho first ballot fully
domonstrated.
WATSON AND TIBBLE3.
The Springfield Convention Chooses a
Georgia and a Nebraska Editor.
SPRINGFIELD, 111. Thomas E.
Watson of Georgia for president and
Thomas H. Tibbies of Nebraska for
vlco president was the ticket nomi
nated by the populist national conven
tion. Tho names of William V. Allen
of Nebraska and Samuel W. Williams
of Indinna were also placed beforo tho
convention for president, but beforo
tho list of states had been completed
in tho roll call their names wero with
drawn and Watson was nominated by
acclamation. Former Senator Allen
mado good his word that ho would
not enter Into any scramblo for tho
nomination. While tho nominations
wero being mado ho twice instructed
tho chairman of tho Nebraska delega
tion to say that his namo must not go
beforo tho convention. In the face of
this, however, ho received over forty
votes.
Whether Mr. Watson will accept
the nomination or not no ono in tho
convention seems to know and all
efforts to secure definlto Information
failed. Watson was quoted as say
ing that if tho democrats at St. Louis
would nominate Hearst ho would sup
port him for president.
Williams of Indiana received only a
few votes, soon withdrawing and mov
ing to mako Watson's nomination
unanimous.
Thero were fivo nominations for
vlco president, Thomas H. Tibbies of
Nebraska, Theodore B. Rynder of
Pennsylvania, L. H. Weller of Iowa,
George E. Washburn of Massachu
setts and Samuel W. Williams of In
diana. Tho two latter declined and
Tibbies received all tho votes on tho
first ballot.
J. A. Mallet of Texas was. chosen
permanent chairman.
CHICAGO LIMITED DITCHED.
Fast Train on the Wabash Wrecked
Near St. Louis.
ST. LOUIS. A special to tTie Globe
Democrat from Litchfield, 111., says tho
Chicago limited on the Wabash rail
road, duo in St. Louis at 7 p. m., and
half an hour late, was wrecked inside
tho city limits. Tho train struck an
open switch and was overturned, and
seven of tho nine cars burned.
It Is believed that twenty persons
perished In tho second, and third
coaches and that forty wero injured.
Later. A Bpeclal to tho Post-Dispatch
from Litchfield, III-, says that
nineteen dead and a number aro
missing as a result of the wreck on
tho Wabash railroad hero last night,
when train No. 11, from Chicago, left
tho track at a misplaced switch and
crashed into a lino of freight cars
standing on a sidetrack. Seven hun
dred persons wero on tho lllfated

sidetrack.
Tho work of clearing tho debris Is
progressing ns rapidly as possible.
The remains of Hon. I. R. Mills, Inter
nal revenue collector of the central
Illinois district, wero sent to his homo

peoplo who aro In tho city from va
rious points visited the sceno of tho
wreck. Tho telegraph offices have,
been besieged with dispatches from
friends and relatives oi i),i
posed to have been on tho ill-fated,
train. Edward T. Clapp, chief cleric
In the office of tho president of tho
Wabash, stated to tho Associated'
Press today that from all that could
bo learned, the misplaced switch at
Litchfield waa tampered with by somo
outsldo person. They had no definite
Information as to who tho culprit
might bo. A thorough Investigation
will bo held, said Mr Clapp, after
which President Ramsey will bo In a)
position to mako a statement.
Mexico's Presidential Election.
MEXICO CIT V. Reports from many
points show that tho presidential elec
tion passed off quietly. Several thou
sand electors who wero chosen will
assemble in this city during the sec
ond week of July for tho purpose of
voting for tho candidates for presi
dent. President Diaz will havo no
opposition. Tho press quite generally
is favorable to Ramon Corral, at pres
ent minister of tho interior, for the
vlco presidency and ho will no doubt
bo elected.
THE VICE MtESIDENCY.
Henry G. Davis of West Virginia Nom
inated by Acclpmatlon.
ST. LOUIS With tho announce
ment of tho nomlnntlon of Chief Jus
tlco Alton B. Parker early In the morn
ing nn adjournment was taken until
afternoon, and tho groat convention
hall was quickly emptied of Its wear
ied delegates and spectators. The ter
rific strain of the night was over and.
there was a general movement in the
direction of tho hotels.
It was 5:37 when tho afternoon ses
sion opened. A motion was made and
adopted that speeches nominating can
didates for tho vice presidency be lim
ited to ten minutes, that five minutes
be allowed for seconding speeches and.
that the number be limited to three.
Roll call of states was then called
for tho presentation or candidates for
vlco president. Alabama was called,
several times with no response, but
finally Mr. Russell of that state an
nounced that Alabama would give way
to Illinois.
Samuel Olschuler of Illinois aroso
and announced that Freeman Morris
would speak for that state.
Mr. Morris took the platform to
name James R. Williams of Illinois.
Tho roll call of statOB proceeded and
whon Nebraska was reached the re
sponse wns a statement that it waited
with interest the cholco of Now York.
New York requested to bo passed
when called on the roll.
Maryland seconded tho nomination:
of Davis of West Virginia.
At this point in tho session thero
wns uproar over rumors of a telegram
that had been received from Judgo
Parker, nominee for tho presidency,
which Senator Culbortson of Texas
and others thought ought to be con
sidered before the convention went
any further. Tho former said: "For
reasons which are obvious to all tho
delegates here It scorns to me that
we ought not to proceed at this time
to nominate a candrdato for vice pres
ident." Adjournment was thereupon taken.
The leaders disappeared cad tho ses
sion closed with an atmosphere of
tense expectancy as to what would oc
cur when It reconvened nt 30 p. m.
Tho convention did not go into ses
sion promptly at the timo apponited,
although the greater number of dele
gates and alternates wero in their
seats, keyed up to a high pitch of ex
citement over the possible events of
the night.
During the course of tho proceed
ings the following message from Judge
Parker was read:
"I regard the gold standard as firm
ly and irrevocably established, and
shall act accordingly if tho action of
tho convention today shall bo ratified
by tho people. As the platform Is b!
lent on tlie subject, my views should
be made known to the convention, and
If it is proved to be unsatisfactory to
tho majority, I request you to decline
the nomination for me at onco, so that
another may bo nominated before ad
journment." A messago was proposed to be sent
to Judge Parker as follows:
"The platform adopted by this con
vention is silent on tho question of
monetary standard because it Is not
reagrded by us as a possible issue in
this campaign, and only campaign is
sues were mentioned In tho platform.
Therefore thero is nothing In tho
views expressed by you In tho tele
gram Just received which would pre
clude a man entertaining them from
accepting a nomination on said plat
form." (Applause.)
A great deal .of discussion followed,,
some favoring sending of the message,
others not.
Bryan said he was opposed to send
ing tho telegram ns framed. "If the
gold standard is a good thing, then
why run away from It? Why not put
It Into your platform?"
His declaration that tho sending of
tho telegram to Judgo Parker was a
declaration for the gold standard side
nnd his statement that If the democ
racy was to say so frankly wns greet
ed with a shriek of applause from tho
galleries, and one man with a strong
voice yelled, "That's right"
Loud applause greeted Mr. Bryan's
remark that It was a manly thing in
Judgo Parker to express his opinions
before tho convention adjourned, but
it would have been a manlier thing
had he spoken before tho convention
met. was again cheered.
After some further debate a roll calf
was ordered on the question of tho
adoption of the reply to Judge
Parker's messago. As tho roll call
proceeded It was evident that tho
motion to send the message to Judgo
Parker would be carried by an over
whelming majority. The result was
announced to bo 774 ayes and 191
noes, and the messngo was ordered
sent by tho convention.
The voto closed tho Incident. It
had been provocatlvo of somo feeling
and much anxiety on tho part of tho
party leaders, but from the first of
tho evening session it wns evident
that they had tho situation well in
hand.
Tho order of business now went
back to tho point whero Governor
Vardaman sprung tho Parker tele
gram rumor and a recess when th
roll of states was about to be called
on tho voto for tho nomination' for
a candidato for vlco president and
tho chair directed that tho roll should
bo called. Announcement of tho vote
revealed that Henry O. Davis of West
Virginia had received C52 votes, being
150 less then tho necossary two-thirds.
He then received tho nomination by
acclamation.
