st. Louis, July 7.-- Representative

not deliver his prepared speech at the

report OF the committee on permanent

he did not undertake TO deliver the
long speech which he had prepared.
This speech had been given out to the
press. Representative clark's speech
was not over 800 words IN length, and
he left his audience to read the re-
mainder OF the address which he had
prepared. His prepared speech was in
part as follows:

all men are liars. Had he been IN
Chicago while Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge was reading the republican plat

ended by the rejection OF the minority
