REPUBLICANS PRED0MiNATE
Bryan Urges Republicans to
Investigate.

The speech was devoted almost ex-
clusively to the question of imperial
ism. While not holding that this
was the only issue. Mr. Bryan sai1
he did contend that was the question
of paramount importance. This was
true because the question involved
the fundamental principles of our
government Discussing the title 10

This question was answered by a
voice in the crowd. Mark Hanna"
This responce elected shout and
MIR. Bryan replied:
While L am not prepared to say
God does not speak through the hu-
man voice, do think that when he
gets ready to speak to the American
people he will choose some other
mouth piece than Mr.. Hanna"
NO PLACE FOR SUBJECT.
He commended that under che Re-
publican scheme for control of the
Philippines the people of those is
lands must necessarily become sub
jects, as they could not he citizens
under those plans, and there was No
place under II Republican form of
government for subject
He charged the Republican party
with lack of sympathy for the Beers,
which was new experience for that
party, for never before in it history
had the party failed to take posi- .
ton in favor of a republic strugglin 7
for liberty. The secret of the pres
ent attitude was, MIR. Bryan said,
the fear that if the country should
take position favorable 10 the Beers
the British Parliament might declare
for the Filipinos.
In this speech Mr.. Bry an discussed
more fully than at any time before
the charge that he lad secured the
ratification of the peace treaty with
Spain. On this question he said:
only friends, l want To call your
attention to one argument that the
Republican party seems more fond
of making than it does of making
any argument in defense of imperial
ism. The main argumt mt hat have
been hearing lately in defence OF
imperialism is that 1 helped to rati

too much credit when they say Sc

The purpose OF this suggestion is to permit the
city of New-York to select the Ten Mile River in

River as source of water supply. if it should be
demonstrated to be the best source of supply. The

PUTNAM DEFENDS GOFF.
SAYS THE RECORDER DID NOT INSPIRE
THAT WARM PRESENTMENT.

Recorder Goff refused to comment yesterday
upon the presentment of District Attorney Gardi-
ner by the Grand Jury He said IL spoke for itself
Neither would he say word about the charges of
Mr. Gardiner and his friends that the Recorder had
really inspired 1t. On that point Mr.. Putnam. the
foreman of the Grand Jury, is quoted as saying:
The District Attorney is now trying to make 1t
appear that because / consulted frequently with
Recorder Gof were both planning to fnjure him
personally There is no truth whatever in such a
contention The fact of the matter is that the Dis
trict Attorneys office made it necessary for us TO
consult some other than him or his deputies
We found that whenever We called in one OF his
staff for advice the matters leaked into the news
papers and into other channels where 1t Should not
have gone. In extremity went to Recorder
Golf and told him the facts The Recorder told me
that would not have right to call in the as
sstance of outside counsel but that there was
nothing in the law which prevented a Judge from
giving advice to the Grand Jury, and that when
needed any advice he would be pleased to
give all that lay In his power
l told the members of the Grand Jury what the
Recorder said and they said that after that we
would get our advice from the Recorder instead or

Recorder Goff casually long time ago did not re-
gard myself personal acquaintance of his, be-
not have remembered the meeting: But after he
consented to give us the advice which we needed l
visited his house frequently. There was no con-
cealment about the matter, for nearly every DAY
after the Grand Jury dismissed l usually went
up on the bench with the Recorder in open court
and consulted with him.. II was because could

Police Commissioner Abell when seen yesterday
relative to the Grand Jury's presentment of the
Police Department, said he had comments to

His attention called to paragraph in the pre-
