The seats of the delegates are compactly placed, Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota being particularly well taken care of, but even though they are comparatively dose to the stage, many of the delegates from those states could not hear a word ot the speaker. Bryan Followers Nealected. Straining their ears they tried to catch the keynote of Williams' speech, but with out success, the delegates turned their at tention to picking out the distinguished men among them. Bryan came ' In for recognition, but nothing like he received at Chicago.' Pettlgrew, who left the repub lican party In this city eight years ago, was pussed over with faint applause, while J. B.

DAILY BEE: THURSDAY, loyal, and these, should the pendulum swing bsck to Bryan some of these days, will be permitted to taste the sweets at the table. Take, for Instance, Osborne of Wyoming. He has been a follower of Bryan for ' years. When Hearst announced his candidacy Osborne became the champion of the Callfornlan and labored in and out of season for his choice. A Hearst dele gation from Wyoming was sent to 8t. Louis In consequence of Governor Osborne's labors. Last night Osborne called his dele gation together, and " told them frankly what the real conditions were and talked of a second choice, when Hearst Is out of the way, should there be any second choice. But the delegation would hear of no such suggestion and decided to eta? by Hearst whatever comes. And Pettlgrew, who went Out of the re publican party when "Gold" was written In Its platform, he. too, Is loyal to Bryan and loyal to Hearst as well. South Da kota Is tied to the lost cause like Wyoming and Nebraska, a trinity of Bryanlsm malt ing, as it would seem, for the prince to come along and cut the cords that bind them together. The first fight of the convention will come In all likelihood tomorrow, when the com mittee on credentials reports In favor of seating the Hopkins delegates from Chi cago. Bryan has accepted the proxy of C. D. Casper of David City to make the fight before the credentials committee In favor of the Hearst-Harrlson-Dunlap crowd. Should the committee seat the Hopkins delegation then It Is confidently expected Bryan will present a minority report and start the ball. E. C. S. FIRST ROUND OF CONVENTION (Continued from First Page.) doubted, even by those who have hereto fore declined to be convinced. The nomi nation of Judge Parker for president Is as sured beyond any possibility of defeat Oversealons Man KJected. An incident to the demonstration was an altercation between Bergeant-at-Arms John I. Martin and an over sealoua roan who was giving vent to his enthusiasm in a manner which convention officers deemed offensive. As Chairman Williams was knocking splinters from his desk in an ef fort to pound the convention into order, so that he could proceed with his address, a man in the vicinity of the New York dele gation was seen motioning delegates and spectators to continue their applause and encouraging the galleries to Ignore the chairman's order for silence. The man re sented Interference from the sergeant-at-arms and In the end was ejected from the convention hall. The disturbance was of a rough and tumble order, though no blows were struck. Tho great coliseum where the convention is held Is admirably adapted to accommo date the surging crowds which pressed for admission as soon as the doors were Opened. Before 11 o'clock the spectators' seats began to fill, although the space on the floor allotted to delegates and alter nates remained vacant until near noon, when the session was called to order. That the duty of decorating the immense hall was entrusted to skilled hands was appar ent from the first glimpse of the Interior. The general effect is a mammoth arched canopy of butt, ribbed and fringed In white, with walls formed of alternate strips Of red, white and blue. The balconies are dressed In white bunting, gracefully caught up every few yards. Medallions bearing the coats of arms of the states are pluced about the balconies at regular Intervals, but the only flowers used are In the set tings of the platform. , One:of the crowning features Is an Im mense furled flag, which Is pendant. from the center of the roof. The flag will be dropped Into prominence when a nomina tion for president has been made. The standards locating the state delegations are among the striking decorations. Painted, ringed and lettered after the man ner of old-fashioned railroad semaphores the standards extend several feet above the heads of the delegates. They are fas tened to rods of iron which are firmly fas tened to the floor so that they cannot be dislodged In moments of enthusiasm. Bryan Passed I p. Though there were many early arrivals In the convention hall, the ushers had diffi culty in making them take seats. There was a disposition to loiter in the aisles, which continued long after Chairman Jones swung his ponderous gavel In the first call for. order. The arrival of digni taries attracted comparatively little at tention. David B. HIH, chairman 6f the New Tork delegation, and other boomers of Judge Parker, Tammany Leader Murphy, Mr. Bryan, democratic members of the senate and mapy others prominent In national affairs and conspicuous before the coun try took their places in the hall practically unnoticed. In some instances there was applause in the vicinity of the seats of some prominent figures, but that was all. Mr. Bryan entered the hall first, without recognition from the galleries. He re traced his steps some minutes later and held a reception in the center aisle. Friends gathered around him to shake hands, and then his presence was noted. The cheer ing, however, was not prolonged. Many persons of distinction were given places on the platform. Among the dis tinguished visitors were Mrs. Charles Mer cer Hale, daughter of Judge Parker; Mrs. Daniel Manning; Joseph Folk, circuit at torney for St. Louts, and District Attor ney Jerome of New York; former Senator Reagan, the only surviving member of Jefferson Davis' cabinet; Senators Bacon of Georgia and Bailey of Texas; former Governor D. R. Francis of Missouri, presi dent of the Louisiana Purchase exposi tion, and ex-Governor McMillan of Tennes see. Anti-Parkerltee la Minority. Little political scheming was in progress on the floor of the convention hall. The anti-Parker delegates were so much In the minority that there appeared to be no basis for clever manipulation. The action of ' Ohio late last night, closely following Pennsylvania's declaration for the New York jurist, and the band wagon tenden cies displayed by other delegations which had been counted In the anti-Parker ranks had a telling effect upon ' the opposition Though opponents professed not to be dis heartened by stories of Parker gains and continued to claim that more than one third of the delegates had pledged them- Nervous?

By tho time a majority of tho delegates had arrived at the coliseum every breath of cool outside air had been absorbnd. Convention' la Chlled to Order. The convention was called to order promptly at 1 o'clock by Chairman Jones. After prayer by Rev.' J. F. Cannon, the chairman introduced John Sharpe Wil liams of Mississippi', tomporary chairman, who, amid cheers, '.began his speech. In his 'opening' remarks Mr. Williams called attention to the Louisiana purchase, saying the "expansion" shown in its pur chase was far different from the, "expan sion" which took the. Philippines, aa was also the annexatldn' of Texas, California and the" other 'Mexlfc'an territory. Referring to the address of Mr. Root at Chicago, he said In part: Not -without reason, then; this labored argument by these great and ingenious lawyers. It was to, draw away attention from Rodseveltlsm and its volcanic, erup tive and reckless character by dwelling upon the fact that at some period of its history the republican party has been a "party which did things." and did them safely. The orator hoped to have the country lose sight of the fact that It Is Sow, In both ol Its legislative branches, a party of passivity, of nonaction, of ob struction to reform and progress-in a word, a party whose only sacred precept Is the shibboleth which maketh them known, one of them to the other d sh b boleth drawn from the gambler s table; "stand pat." a precept born of cowardh-e aMr,eRoo0t mW. 'Offenders have benn relentlessly prosecuted and sternly pun ished." Isn't this remarkable?

No language Is strong enough to deny and ridicule. Gold Standard Is Established. H then entered upon a discussion of the republican platform, saying that when Mr. Cleveland came into office at the close ot the Harrison administration ne rouna business stagnant and depressed the con ditions preceding the panlo of 1893. Rnrnklni of the repeal or me purcnnoo clause of the Sherman law, he said: I was not one of those who thought the legislation adopted wise, but, wise or other wise, ine resun ia mi . 777 t- ....i i.i ,.i... ir.ua11 m nil men who have common sense and like many mother step m History "- Hl e call, or nupe uj rciti. : ,7 J"- TT" ".

As he finished after speaking for one hour and forty mlautes the band struck up a medley of patriotic airs, the stirring strains of "Dixie" calling forth the wild ofceers that never fall to follow the sing. . aa matter how and where rendtred. "Tae JULY 7, 1904. OROVEIt CLEVELAND. orth American Co., Philadelphia. Used by delegates are Invited to visit the exposi tion," said Mr. Williams, "and the clerk will read the invitation." The last few words were lost In cries of "Bryan, Bryan," that came swift and thick from different parts of the hall. Cheers mingled with calls, and it was fully a minute before the voice of the clerk was able to rise above the tumult. Mr. Bryan remained quietly In his seat during the demonstration made by his friends and gave no outward sign of his recogni tion of tho applause that had greeted his name. ' ' . Delegate Powers of Michigan was recog nized by Chairman Williams to return thanks of the convention to the exposi tion officials for the courtesy shown and made a brief speech of acknowledgement. The motion to accept'the invitation,-with which 'Mr7 Power concluded, was adopted unanimously. ,i Barirpants-at-arms with exposition tickets wara at nnnA afn t throughout the seats oc cupied by the delegates and alternates and handing them to tho chairmen of the del egations. ' Cheers for Hrynn and Hill. whtia the mil call was In progress the spectators concluding that the Interesting scenes of the convention were finished for the day, streamed out by the thousands. The noise of their exit and the talking throughout the hall was so general . that the clerks could be heard with great diffi culty. The announcement of Mr. Bryan as a member of resolutions from Nebraska called forth' a' cheer from such of his friends as were able to hear the announce ment, David B. Hill's name as a member from New York also brought a shout of ap plause. Am the mil was finished and the call be gan for those states which had not an swered on the nrst call, Chairman Williams drew a cigar from his pocket, lighted it and commenced to smoke with great sat isfaction, notwithstanding the fact that numerous slgfis prohibiting the indulgence were posted all around the building. ift.f innnunrmz tho time and place ror tho various committee meetings, a motion na Triad hv Rourke Cookran that the convention adjourn until 10 o'clock tomor row morning.

VICE PRESIDENTIAL SITCATION Major Menstes Presidential Vr Will First II Flnlshrd. ST. IOUIS, July . The vice presidential situation was tersely sketched by Major Meniles of Indiana, himself a vice prel dentlal possibility, when ho aald tonight: "We will finish the nomination of a preol dentlal candidate before we go to warring about the second place on the ticket. Like the lamented father of the Immortil Huck leberry Finn, our motto Is, "Meat first and spoon vltt!e arterwards.' " There was enough gossip to satisfy, but aside from the movement In helinlf of George Turner of Wuxhtngton there wus n. well defined j.ie; Menliul boom. A flurry resulted frnm tho report early In the even ing thut Jiiini-s II. Eckels of Jlllnol had begun an active fight for Judge Judsnn Harmon, but the Hnrmon people dochuej the story absurd nnd asserted that Jude Harmon had already positively and finally declined to accept anything but first p)u"n on the tlckot. There was a Rood tlvnl ot talk during the afternoon and evening fa vorable to Representative Williams ot Mis sissippi and throughout the day he wns, next to Turner, perhaps the most fre quently mentioned of the long llst-nf vice presidential possibilities. The Washington delegation was confident of the nomination of Its favorite, . but many of i)v inlMle west delegates declared themselves op posed to the selection of a man from tho far west. Adlal E. Stevenson of Illinois,-. Mr. Bry an's last running mnte, was talked of fur a time, but It was, declared that he would not accept the nomination. - The Indiana delegation was divided in sentiment as to what its position wou'.d bo If the nomination were to go to that Mate. John "V. Kern and B. P. Shiely, both former gubernatorial -candidates, were be ing mildly boomed by the Indianans, os was also Major O. V. Menslos.
