(Houston Post Staff Special.)
Convention Hall St. Lout July I
Neither David B. HU1 nor William J.
Bryaa was the dominating factor in shap-
tnc the democratic platform as finally
(creed upon.
Neither Hill nor Bryaa was able to put
anything additional Into the subcommit-
tee draft nor did either lead any of the
contests which resulted In changes. The
dominating factor In this work the dom-
inating figure In the meetings of the com-
mittee was Senator Joseph W. Bailey of
Texas. Senator Bailey immediately upon
the assembling of the committee became
the leader of the men who were between
the two extremes represented respectively
by Hill and Bryan. This element was at
times supplemented by recruits from first
one of the extreme lengths and then the
other but Senator Bailey was In every
Instance the leader of the force which
shaped the final result.
The platform submitted by the subcom-
mittee consisting of Hill Bryan and John
Bharp Williams was the basis upon which
the full committee worked during Its all-
night session. It was changed in many
Important particulars. The first change
was In the tariff plank. Senator Bailey
submitted an amendment which was In
affeot a olear-eut declaration against a
protective tariff and in favor of a rev-
enue tariff and struck oat that porrJeei
of the Williams platform which refected
to profits of the' trusts over and above
legitimate profits. This was stricken out
on the theory "that if the trusts are ille-
gitimate the democracy should not reo-
ocnise them as entitled to profits at all.
H1U took no part in this debate. Bailey
led the fight and Bryan Joined htm m It.
And It won. but It was Bailey's fight not
Bryan's. The first plank was amended in
the same way and by the same combina-
tion. It. was Bailey's amendment that
was adopted.
When the fight came over the Income
tax plank submitted by Bryan and while
H1U was speaking against It Senator
Bailey Interposed to say that while ho
himself favored an Income tax. he was
nuch Impressed by Hill's argument that
men a plank would Injure the party In
New Tork. and that would mean to lose
sot only. New Tork but the election. He
said that If Hill said such a plank would
lose New Tork be would vote against It.
Me thought it would be best under such
llrcumstanoss. to omit all reference to
the matter. He asked unanimous con-
. tent that both the Income tax plank ad-
rocated by Bryan and the financial plank
advocated by Hill be omitted but both
Hill and Bryan objected to this. Then
the Texan asked that the two questions
be considered together. 'After a good
deal of debate It was evident that tho
Income tax would not be carried and It
was withdrawn.
Bailey's fight against tho financial plank
resulted In Its defeat by M to It On
Bryan's motion to reaffirm the old plat-
forms there in no roll call there being
about half a doxen affirmative votes on
the viva voce call. It Is unquestionably
true that had It not been for Senator
Bailey there would have been no agree-
ment upon a platform. Bailey did not
fight Hill or Bryan In any personal way
but was contending for what he believed
to be the best democratic doctrine and
the best interest of the party.
Opinions on Platform.
Naturally many diverse opinions regard-
ing the platform wore expressed this
afternoon as soon as It was clearly un-
derstood Just what the platform commit-
tee had don. The first Intimation the
delegates and spectators packed In the
coliseum had' of what had been done
came from Congressman Ollle James of
Kentucky the chairman of the commit-
tee appointed by Presiding Officer Clark
at the morning session to wait on the
committee on platform and resolutions
and ascertain when It would be ready
to submit Its work to the convention.
Mr. James reported that the committee
had adjourned until I o'clock whereupon
tier were loud cries of disappointment
from the thousands who had waited pa-
tlently for soma real excitement all dur-
ing the forenoon. Immediately after-
ward however Mr. James made the an-
sounosment that the committee had
unanimously agreed on a platform which
would Insure victory In November. Al-
most anything but a unanimous report
was looked for and when the crowd fully
realised the Import of the big Kentuck-
tan's words a cheer which bade fair to
.- raise the roof went up from the mighty
throng. Hsd the convention not ad-
journed Immediately a demonstration
would doubtless have been In evidence.
By many of those who soon learned
' that the platform committee had omitted
all reference to the currency question
and that Mr. Bryan hsd scored a per-
sonal victory In this and other matters
the opinion was expressed that the
chance of party victory In New York
and other Eastern States had been toe.
sened. Ob the other hand many son-
servattve leaders did not hesitate to say"
thflt the best way to deal with the mcnoy
question In view of the trouble It had
caused In tho past was to ignore It
altogether.
II was Senator Bailey who first sug-
gested that this means of. settling tn
matter be adopted.
The South and West are very well sat-
isfied with the platform. As one Texas
delegate put it most of the people front
there sections of '.he country would have'
been Afraid to go back heme hsd a
plank with the word "gold" in It been
adopted. ' .
Tho crowd became very impatient dur-
Ir.g the two hours tbat wore consumed
In waiting for tho platform committee.
AU sorts of expedient were retorted to
but at that It was a very badly disap-
pointed throng that Hied out of the big
hall at noon for everybody had expected
a bitter fight over the adoption of the
platform with such leading lights as
Bryan. Bailey. Williams . Daniel and
.others participating.
VICE PRESIDENCY
UNCERTAINTY OVER SEC-
; . ' ".'J... OND.-PLACE.
Likely Ohio Indiana or Illinois
. Will Name the Second Place.
-' No Definite Movement. "
(Associated Press Report).
St Louis July t Great uncertainty
stlU exists concerning the vtoe presiden-
tial nomination. The candidates which
have heretofore been mentioned are still
mentioned and soms are being pushed
with a great deal of earnestness. No one
man has yet been singled out by the
leaders. There seems to be a desire to
select one from Illinois Indiana or Ohio
if possible. Continued efforts have been
trade to obtain the consent of Marshall
Field of Chicago to allow the use of his
name but so far without result In In-
diana there are two men mentioned
John W. Kern and Benjamin F. Shlvely.
The delegation wae called to meet after
the adjournment of the convention to-
night to decide whether or not tho 8tte
shall present a candidate and If so which
of ths two men will receive the support
of the delegation. -
Ohio men are also In doubt whether a
rendldau ehr.il be presented from that
.Slate. Judson Harmon formerly attor-
ney general in rYesldent Cleveland's cab-
inet and John R. McLean proprietor of
the Cincinnati Enquirer have been dis-
cussed In connection - with the second
place on the ticket but no determination
has been reached to present either of
them.
Various States desire to present "favor.
He sons" for the nomination' but wheth-
er they will be able to gather any strength
from other sections of the country ap-
pears problematic. The leaders may be
able to agree on a candidate before the
convention convenes tomorrow but It
now looks ss If the ballots must decide
woh will fill the second place on the Na-
tional ticket
The Western men have secured quite
a large number of delegates to support
former Senator George Turner of Wash-
ington. During the day Senator Charles A. Cul-
berson of Texas was mentioned but he
stated thst his name could not be used In
connection with the place.
PARKER'S MOTHER
Happy that Her 'Son Is to Be
Honored.

Derby Conn. July I. Mrs. Harriot
Parker mother of Judge Parker who
Jives In this city has all along been con-
fident of her son's nomination and elec-
tion. Mrs. Parker is ft) years old but she
looks and acts younger fjhe said today:
"My son's nomination will be artlcotarly
pleasing to me because It will have oome
to him unsought. But I take even more
comfort In the knowledge that the neigh-
bors and friends at Esopus persons who
know him best all have such high opin-
ion of him."
Mrs. Parker attributes much of her
son's success to the fact that shs dis-
ciplined him with a liberal application of
the switch in early years. She says the
children of the present day have not as
good msnners as those of half a century
ago a condition ehe ascribes to a general
abandonment of corporal punishment
BAILEY PRESIDED
And Received Many Compliments
on His Ability.

St. Louis July 1 Senator Bailey of
Texas to whom Chsmp Clark resigned
the gavel early In the evening made an
Ideal presiding officer. Ho was absolute-
ly Impartial and enforced his rulings with
a firmness truly remarkable under the
circumstances. It was undoubtedly as a
result of this firmness tbat tho Hearst

erations were residents of Massachusetts

school at Cortland where his parents re-
sided. At tho ago of II ho comtasnosd
teaching In order to obtain money to en-
able him to - continue at school . after
which hs adopted the law as a prof asslon. '
But It was by bo means all plain sailing.
His family was not in affltunt circum-
stances and It became necessary fof '
him besides working on the farm during
the summer to obtain other employment
In order to enable him to attend the acad-
emy and normal school aa wall aa ths
law school. This ho did not hesitate to
do; any honorable employment was sr. ear-
ly sought

out to secure his first employment aa a
teacher. After a thirteen-mile drive and
numerous disappointments hs was en-
gaged by the trustees of a Virgil town-
ship school In his home county. Later he
entered the normal school and the fol-
lowing winter taught a school In the
neighborhood of Blnghamton. The ntxt
winter Prof. J. H. Hoose. the principal
of the Cortland normal schiol. received
an application from a school in Accord
luster county for a principal of a school
with wsges at U a day and he asked
young Parker to take It He was only too
lad of the opportunity and after tx. ti-
ng about seven months he enlerel the
office of Schoonmaker Hardenbnrk ae a
law student. Soon sfter entering Mr.
Schoonmaker's office the latter whti was

judge was defeated for re-elvt'o.i ftt
a hard campaign and was so dtshotrtvned
that he decided to withdraw altogether
from politics.

Believing that his patron was unduly
discouraged and that he was still very
strong with the people young Parker ar-
ranged for Mr. Schoonmaker's nomina-
tion for State senator In 171 and prevailed
upon him to accept The young lawyer

In the rear 1177 young Parker's promi-
nence and popularity In his party brought
him forward as the party's candidate for
the office of surrogate then held by a
most able and popular republican law-
yer of the county. He was nominated In

Manages State Campaign.
In this Bute campaign he was placed
at ths head of the State executive com-
mittee and had personal charge of the
oampaten. Largely owing: to Parker's
masterful work ; the entire1- democratic
State ticket was elected by pluralities
ranging between U.OW and 1101. During
ths time he held the position of' surro-
gats Parker carried on a large general
law practice and was actively at work in
the trial of causes and the argument of
appeals. In ISM Judge Theodore Rv West- '
brook of Ulster oounty died leaving the.
supreme court justiceship for the Third
judicial district vacant Governor H1IL
at the urgent request of tho leading dem-
ocrats of Ulster county appointed Par-
ker to the vacancy. He entered at one.
on the duties of bis office for the cur-
rent year at the close of which he re-
ceived the unanimous nomination of the
democratic party for justice for the full
term. The republican lawyers of the dis-
trict brought euch lnflu.no. to bear upon
the leaders of their party that no oppo-
nent was named agalnet Judge Parser
and he was unanimously elected tor a
period of fourteen year.' service.
In 1M7 the fortunes of the New Tork
democracy wore apparently at the lowest
ebb. The republicans had carried the
8tate for Mckinley by MS MS plurality.
But an election for chief judge of the
court of appeals was due and to the
democrats the contest seemed a forlorn
hope. The State convention of ISM had by
resolution directed the nomination to be
made by the State committee ae It was
the only State office to be filled that year.
Several candidates were mentioned for
the place and all were balloted for In ths
committee. It being understood that no
