MIR. PARIS SPEECH.
Whom Mr.. Blackwell concluded three
ohoere ,eere given for w. ]. Bryan, and
u,hen ouIet was restored, Mr.. Parr, Of
podTord was introduced. In the outsek
NJ parr alluded 10 John w. Daniel. and
was interrupted by loud and continued
cheers.
Parr magnanimousiy. He Is as noble
man as ever breathed the breath of life.
1 know him. ! held his hand when he
was operated on on the battlefield for
his wound. know he Is gallant TEL
low. (Applause)
"Now Won needn't think I am going
10 make a long speech. because I amt.
I understand that ] am to be replied 10
Tomorrow night by man named Bryan.
"E,at him up. Bryant came from the
gallery, creating much laughter.
Continuing. Mr.. Parr said: Bryan is
the man who was given the presidential
nomination. because he said Thou shalt
not press down upon the brow of labor
the crown OF thorns; thou shalt not cru
city mankind on cross OF gold. say
he shall not squash down mush box
on the brow of labor; he shall not roast
mankind on a griddle OF paradoxes."
RIDICULE AND SARCASM.
Mr.. Parr ridiculed the Democratic nomi-
nees at some length. and, In a really
amusing fashion. and referred to Tom
Watson as an associate on the ticket for
the office Of second Vice-Presdent After
characterizing the Chicago convention as
the most undemocratic gathering of DEM
ocrats ever gotten together. Mr.. Parr as
sailed the platform He drew a picture
of the Democratic band-wagon, and
pictured Bryan on the top with a red flag
I'm his hands. He grew vituperatively
sarcastic as he continued, and was gene
rously Missed. Many of his auditors left
the hall and his hearers dwindled down
to a very few. He remained undaunted,
Notwithstanding this frost, and, finally
realizing that his ridicule was falling on
unsympathetic ears. he took tack and
appealed TO the better side OF mans ma
ture, and besought them not to be led
astray by the sophistres of the "silver
boomer" He referred TO the reform
movement as the "silver trust" and Sc
vereIy condemned 1t. He asked all pres
ent TO go out to the Auditorium tonight
and listen to Bryan critically, and then
decide for themselves IL he wasn't lead
ing q fOrlorn hope.
In conclusion, Mr.. Parr accused the Chi
cago convention of having tried to control
the country by reviving sectionalism. and
expressed himself as being unalterably
opposed TO 1t for that reason, II for no
other.
MIR. MEREDITH ON THE HEIGHTS.

TO RUN AROUND THE PARK.
Petition of Traction Company Re-
ferred.

The Council Committee on Grounds and
Buildings held a very busy session IN
Committee-Room No. of the City Hall
last evening. Those in attendance were
Chairman Gunst and Messrs. Briggs
King, Rountree Neale, Moun,castle,
Lawder. and Snead.
The most important matter 10 arise was
the petition OF Joseph Aliard, Jr., and
other citizens 10 allow the Richmond
Traction Company 10 extend its Broad
street tracks around Chimborazo Park.
so as TO form loop around the brow OF
that beautiful suburban resort: also. to
allow the company TO construct a hand
some and artistic pavilion on the south
eastern point of the park, where ices and
other mild refreshments could be dis
pensed. and where there could be music
and dancing, and possibly other forms OF
entertainment.
After the paper had been read. Mr..
Phil. b. SHIELD, general counsel for the
company, was heard. and he carefully
explained the scope and purposes OF the
plans which had been presented by the
Traction Company.
Mr.. Briggs expressed himself as op-
posed 10 the granting of the petition.
saying that he would be willing TO let
the tracks be extended to the point east
OF the park where the road down to the
spring starts. This, he said. would put
the cars within 80 yards OF the proposed
pavilion.
The committee finally agreed to refer
the matter to the Ward Committee
Messrs. Mountcastle and Lawder, and the
City Engineer, for report at the next
meeting.
The resolution, previously offered by Mr.
Gunst, providing for placing two more
arc-lights on Gamble's-Hill Park and for
the shifting of one of the lights already
there, was taken up. The shifting was
ordered TO be done. and the City Engineer
was directed TO appear before the water
Committee and ask for the two extra
lights.
The matter of making certain repairs
to the city Jail, I'm accordance with n re-
quest from the City Sergeant, was re-
ferred to the City Engineer for an esti-
mate of the costs.
on motion of Mr.. Briggs, a sub-commit-
tee was appointed TO prepare set OF
rules and regulations for the government
of park-keepers and employees.
After transacting a quantity OF uninl-
portant routine business the committee
adjourned
