Louis, July Democratic convention met today and listened to an extended speech from Representative John Sharp Williams, its temporary chairman, appointed the committees necessary to perfect a adorganization and permanent journed. a session lasting two hours and minutes one striking incident overshadowed all other proceedings. That was the enthusiastic and prolthe onged cheering which greeted the nmi of Grover Cleveland.the While name of outburst which greeted the former Democratic President before Its last syllable had fallen from the lips of the temporary chairman was noteworthy in Itself, it was magnified by contrast with the greeting accorded the actual persons of men who stood for all that has been opposed by Mr. Cleveland and within the party during the last eight years. James K. Jones, of Arkansas, chairman of the national committee, went upon the platform and took bis neat unnoticed. Practically bo greeting was given him when he faced the 'convention with gavel in hand. There were other stalwart lieutenants of the Nebraskan who entered the hall unacclalmod And lastly Mr. Bryan himself who for the first time during the two national campaigns was Eight minutes greeted with silence. after the gavel fell the twice named candidate of his party passed in at the main entrance and sought his seat unheralded and unheeded. A few moments later he arose and pushed his way to a seat nearer the aisle, where, standing a moment, to give greeting to friends, he was caught sight of ind applauded. But the measure of ipplause was but ripple when compared to the storm called forth by Clevelands name. Listening attentively to the Democratic doctrine laid lown by Mr. Williams the conservatives found occasion for' the first demonstration when reference was made lo the record of Former President Cleveland. The name of Cleveland reechoed from all throats. Hats, handkerchiefs, fans and arms waved, delegates and spectators stood on their chairs and the last semblance of order was turned into confusion which invention officials were powerless to In MLy iubduc. While the outburst was at its, leight, Mr. Bryans followers tried to xravert the demonstration Into ap- for their leader. The name of Bryan was yelled lustily but in rain. Shouting of Grover1! and 'Cleveland was renewed, and the Bryan following was hissed. The greatest significance was attached to the showing made by the conservatives. Tbelr absolute control of the convention is no longer doubted even tv those who have deheretofore clined to be convinced. The nomination of Judge Parker for President Is Mured beyond any possibility of plause . loubt.

The standards locating the delegations are among the striking decorations. Painted, fringed and lettered after the manner of old fashioned railway semaphores the standards extend several feet above the heads of the delegates. They are fastened to rods of iron which are firmly fastened to the floor so they cannot be dislodged In moments of enthusiasm. Though there were many early arrivals In the convention hall the ushers had difficulty In making them take 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 dignitaries attracted comparatively little attention. David B. Hill, chairman of the New York delegation, and other boomers of Parker, Tammany loader Murphy, Mr. Bryan, Democratic members of the Senate, and many others prominent in national affairs and conspicuous before the country took their places In the hall practically unnoticed. In some instances there waa local applause In the vicinity of the seats of some prominent figure, but that was all. Mr. Bryan entered the hall first without any recognition from the gallery. He retraced his steps some minutes later and held a reception in the center stale.- - Friends gathered around him to shake hands, and. then his presence was noticed. The cheering, however, did not last long. ' Many persons of distinction' were given places on .the' platform. Among the distinguished visitors were Mrs. Charles Mercer Hale, daughter, of Judge Parker; Mrs. Daniel Manning, 'Circuit' Attorney Folk of 8L Louis and District Attorney Jerome of New York; Former Senator Reagan, the only surviving member of the Jefferson Davis cabinet; Senator Bacon of Georgia and Senator Bailey of Texas; Former Governor Francis of Missouri, president of the Louisiana Exposition. Little political scheming was in progress on the floor of the convention hall. Ths anti-Parkdelegates 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 tendency displayed by other delegations which had been counted In the ranka, had a telling effect upon the opposition. Though the opponents professed not to be disheartened by stories of Parker gains and continued d of to claim that more than the delegate had pledged themselves never to vote for Parker, few per ions could he found who were willing to listen to those who were becking the field against ths favorite. By the time a majority of the dele gates had arrived t the Coliseum every breath of cool outside air had been absorbed. Fans were waving vigorously in all parts of the hsIL Coats were not long in coming off, collars and ties were loosened and the picture was that of a shirt sleeve convention. The example set today la sure to bring converts end it is safe to say a majority will disregard the conventionalities In the interest of comfort by doffing their coata. The day was oppressively warn outside and in the hall was uncomfortable to the last degree. Windows were but half opened and the had been sacrificed in beautifying the Interior of the hall. Exactly on the hour of noon Chairman Jones called the convention to order. The call was read and prayer delivered. A committee was named to escort Mr. Williams to the platform to assume the temporary chairmanship. Then It occurred to Chairman Jones thst the bsnd stationed under the roof opposite the platform had not been heard. He looked about for the signal station but Its location had been lost amid ti$e decorations. Officials gestulated and shouted to the leader but to no purpose. He was waiting for a bell signal that never ewe. A courier waa sent to the stand but by the time be had arrived Mr. Williams had started to speak. Consequently not s note of music a ss heard in ths ball until a short lime before the convention adjourned for the day. With the exception of the tinder ignited by the mention of Cleveland's name, the speech of the temporary chairman, was received practically without interruption. A few passages were applauded, but that was all. The fault was not with the speech; .but principally with the acoustic conditions in the hall. Mr.. Williams had not been speaking more than five minutes before it became apparent that many persons were unable to hear him. Crowding of the platform made conditions worse. The police and iisliers had difficulty In maintaining passageways In the main body of the ball. Cries of 'louder' were responded to by Williams with earuett efforts to make himself heard. .Finally he answered the loud Shouting by saying: 1 wish I had your lungs to make myself heard." The applause which greeted Mr. Williams at the conclusion of his speech stinted his popularity PRICE FIVE CENTS JULY 7. 1904.

Delegations that have wavered In the balance have succumbed to the Parker tide with few exceptions, snd these are nof expected to withstand the almost assured results of the vote is it proceeds, but will change to tbe Parker column before the roll call is finished.
