PARKER IS THE NOMINEE NEW YORK JUDGE IS NAMED BY DEMOCRATS ON F1R8T BALLOT. AFTER AN ALL-NIGHT SESSION FOR EIGHT HOURS DELEGATES LI8TEN TO NOMINATING .SPEECHES. GOLD PLANK IS VOTED DOWN PLATFORM IS UNANIMOUSLY ADOPTED WITHOUT DIS CUSSION. St. Louis, July 9, 5:39 a. m.—Alton B. Parker has been nominated for president. I, ,, On the completion ot the first "bal lot he received a total of 658 votes. Before the vote was announced Idaho changed her six votes, giving him 664 votes, and.West Virginia added three more, giving him 667 votes, or two .thlrds necessary. 5:50 a. m. Parker's nomination made unanimous. Convention adjourns-until 2 o'clock. The result came after an all-night session in which the convention had been in continuous session for more than eight hburs. All of this time not occupied by demonstrations in fa vor of different candidates was con sumed by the orators who placed their names before the convention. St. Louis, July 9.—The Democratic national convention last night adopted a platform by a viva voce vote and listened to nominating speeches for president. Judge Alton B. «Parker was named by Martin W. Littleton and William Randolph Hfearst by D. M. Delmas. Both crators were applauded at length. Anti-Parker delegations at tempted to create enthusiasm for their candidate, but the Parker men re mained undisturbed and unconcerned. Hearst delegates paraded the hall, but the showing was small in comparison with the Parker procession which pre ceded it. Nominating specch.es for favorite son candidates 3T?d seconding speeches for both Parker and Hearst oconpled the convention for several hours. The convention has seated about 10,500 persons, and from appear ances hundreds more had been ad mitted. The floor and lower and up per galleries contained Thousands of Sweltering Men and women oblivious to the fact that the crowded condition of the hall en dangered every life. The Coliseum interior looked like a huge basin with bottom and sides formed by closely packed persons. Not an aisle could be seen. They were filled by spectators who could find no other place. Outside and in the crowds were the same, except for the' fact that those'within the hall were satisfied and those without were turbulent. As soon as the convention had been called to order Chairman Clark an nounced that the report of the com mittee on resolutions was ready. Sen ator Daniel read the report as chair man of the committee. The confusion was so great that not a word could be heard ten feet from the platform. Oratory Is L.et Loose. The great climax of the convention '—the nomination of a candidate for president—followed immediately upon the adoption of the platform. Chairman Clark proceeded to that order of business' without delay. Alabama was called and yielded to New York. Mr. Littleton's speech im mediately pleased his audience, and when he concluded pandemonium reigned. Flags waved, banners were held aloft and, great as was the crowd, delegates carrying the standards of the Parker states paraded through the convention, pushing, trampling and fighting all who obstructed their prog ress. The scene'was one of tremen dous confusion. Then was enacted a scene that recalled an incident of the Democratic convention in Chicago which nominated W. J. Bryan eight years ago. Like Minnie Murray, .the "woman 'in white," who from a gallery over the stage led cheering for Bryan, Two Glrlfc in White sprang to the front of the platform and waved flowers and flags. The young women were MIssesT Adele and Evelyn Heywood of St. Louis. With renewed outbursts the immense throng cheered them until a picture of Judge Parker on a six-by-nine-foot canvass detracted the thunderous cheering thousands. The cheering continued fully twenty-five minutes. Even then ten minutes elapsed before the chairman dared to call the. next state. Arkansas yielded to Tennessee and Senator Carmack took the plat form and seconded the nomination of^ Judge Parker. There was great con fusion during the speech. California, a Hearst state, was nsxt in order. D. M. Itolmas of that state was recognized ani there was some cheering as he made his way .to the platform, but It was not prolonged. TJtelall was a bedlam, whan-Mr: Del- SHOOTS TO GET EVEN. Homesteader Charged Firing Effec tively at Prosecutor. Marquette Mich., July 6.—With the exclamation, "You ruined me and I'll get even."

Freeman has had occasion to prosecute Tyner, and it ia belief thl* .-4 ^~\r\ J? *"& S -a itf -V 'J* '^Mv% jg&jrfe .mas concluded his speech nominating Hearst. An hour was taken up with second ing speakers for Parker and Hearst Favorite Sons Are Named. The name of Judge George Gray, former senator from Delaware, was presented by ex-Representative Handy of that state. David Overmycr of Kansas placed Geri. Nelson A. Miles in nomination. There was a faint outburst of cheering at his closing. Maine gave way to Missouri and Champ Clark of that state took the platform to place In nomination Sena tor Francis M. Coclcrell ot Missouri for the presidency. The demonstra tion which greeted Cockrell's name was one of the handsomest things of Its kind seen in many conventions^ and lasted more than a quarter of an hour. When Massachusetts was reached Patrick A. Collins took the platform and nominated Richard Olney. The nominating of Olney called for cheers, led by Massachusetts. The waving of flags by the delegation added to the plcturesqueness of the scene, and burling confetti. David S. Rose of Milwaukee nomi nated E. C. Wall of Wisconsin. His speech was given close attention and he was frequently interrupted by ap plause. Delegate Cole of North Dakota nom inated John Sharp Williams., As the roll call proceeded "those states that had not a candidate to pre sent added to the oratory by second ing the nomination of some one of the candidates before the convention. John S. Williams asked that his name be withdrawn and asked the del egation that had placed his name "in nomination to vote for Parker. Mr. Bryan nominated the platform and delivered a speech in which he referred to the two campaigns in which he had borne the standard of the party and- pointed out the causes which had led to his defeat. He made a plea in the interest of harmony and was given closer attention than any speaker who had preceded him. In concluding he threw a thunderbolt Into the convention by seconding the nomination of Senator Cockrell of Missouri. The roll call for nominations occu pied almost exactly eight hours, and when it was .concluded there were loud cries of "vote." It was had with out delay. The roll call was commenced at 5 Oclock this morning. Parker was nominated on the first ballot. The Platform. After long discussion in the commit tee on resolutions in which Bryan'and Hill took opposing sides the gold plank reported by the subcommittee was stricken out. The plank favoring an income tax was also the subject of lond discussion, and in the end was also stricken out. The platform opens by declaring de votion. to the essential principles of the Democratic faith under which lo cal self-government'and national unity and prosperity were alike established. The enactment and administration of laws giving capital and labor im partially their just rights is favored. The right of any executive to dis regard or suspend any constitutional privilege or limitation is denied. Liberal appropriations for care and Improvement of waterways is favored. Large reductions can easily be made in the annual expenditures of the gov ernment without impairing the ef ficiency of any branch of the public service, and' we shall insist upon the strictest economy and frugality com patible with vigorous and efficient civil, military and naval administra tion as a right of,.the people to clear to be denied or withheld. We favor honfesty in the public service, and to that end a thorough legislative investigation of those ex ecutive departments of the govern ment already known to teem with cor ruption, as well as other departments suspected of -harboring corruption, and the punishment of all ascertained corruptionists without fear or favor or regard to persons. We favor the nomination and elec tion of 'a president imbued with the principles of the Constitution, who will set his face sternly against execu tive usurpation of- legislative and Ju dicial functions. We favor the preservation, so far as we can, of an open door to the world's commerce in the Orient, without an unnecessary entanglement in Oriental and European affairs, and without ar bitrary, unlimited, irresponsible and absolute government anywhere within our jurisdiction. We oppose, as' fer vently as did George Washington him self,. an indefinite. Irresponsible, dis cretionary and vague absolutism' and a policy )f colonial exploitation, no matter where or by /whom Invoked or exercised. We insist that we ought to do for the Filipinos what we have done al ready for the Cubans, and set the Filipino people upon their feet, free and independent. to work out their own destiny. We denounce protection as a rob bery of the many to enrich the few, and we favor tariff limited to the needs of the government, economical ly administered. We favor a revision and a gradual reduction of the tariff by the friends of the masses and for the commonweal and not by the means *of Its abuses, Its extortions and its discriminations, keeping .in view the ends of equality ot burdens and equality of opportunities and the con stitutional purpose of raising a rev enue by" tariff—to wit, to support.the federal government In all Its power and authority, but in simplicity.

We demand a ytrlct lnforcement of existing civil and criminal statutes against all trusts, combinations and monopolies and we demand the en actment of such further legislation as may be necessary to effectually sup press them. The Democracy when intrusted with power will construct the Panama canal speedily, honestly and econom ically. We favor the election of United States senators by the direct vote o{ the people. We favor the upbuilding of a mer chant marine without new or addition al burdens upon the people and with out bounties from the public treasury. We favor liberal trade arrangements with Canada and with peonies of other countries where they can be entered into with benefit to American agricul ture, manufactures, mining or com merce. We favor the maintenance of the Monroe doctrine in its'full integrity. We favor the reduction of the army and of the army expenditure to the point historically demonstrated to be safe and sufficient. The Democracy would secure to the surviving soldiers and sailors and their dependents generous pensions, not by an arbitrary executive order, but by legislation which a -grateful people stand ready to enact. The Democratic party stands com mitted to the principles of civil ser vice reform, and we demand their hon est, just and impartial enforcement.. We denounce the Republican party for its continuous and sinister en croachments upon the spirit and ope ration of civil service rules. We deprecate and condemn the bourbon-like selfish and narrow spirit of the recent Republican convention at Chicago, which sought to kindle anew the embers of radical and sec tional strife, and we appeal from it to the sober, common sense and patriotic spirit "of the American people. The existing Republican administra tion has been spasmodic, erratic, sen sational, spectacular and arbitrary. It has made Itself a satire upon the con gress, the courts and upon the settled practices and usages of national and International law. It ordered assault upon some mo nopolies, but, paralyzed by its first victory, it flung out the flag of truce and cried out that it would not "run amuck"—leaving its future purposes .beclouded by its vaccilations. Conducting the campaign upon this declaration of our principles and pur poses, -we invoke for our candidates the support, not only of our great and time-honored organization, but also the active assistance of all our fellow citizens who, disregarding past differ ences upon questions no longer at issue, desire the perpetuation of our constitutional government as framed and established by the fathers of the republic.
