New York Jan. 27.-The Tribune
has the following:
Washington, Jan. 26.-John Sharp
Williams, the democratic leader of the
House, to-day publicly repudiated
the Is to l theory, and emphatically
declared that the whole silver question
should be relegated to obscurlty. He
disclaimed all intention of speaking
for the minority. stating that he ex-
pressed only his individual opinion,
but he expressed it so vigorously, so
earnestly and SO eloquently that the
applause elected by his declaration
came chiefly from the Republican side
of the chamber.
! Mr.. Williams colleagues of the mi
nority we're literally dumfounded at
his fearless reputation of Organism,
and they hesitated to join the majori-
ty in it's demonstration of approval.
Their leader had mercilessly assaulted
Mr.. Bryan's pet idea, this, too, when
the former peerless leader" after
administering sound scolding to his
Party, had arrOgated to himself the
framing of the Democratic platform
and the naming of the nominee.
While the Democrats of the House ad-
mired Mr.. Williams courage, they
feared that his relegation of silver
would provoke another eruption from
Mr.. Bryan, and thought it best to re-
main under cover.
1t all came about when Represent
ative Boutelle, of Illinois, interrupt
ing the Democratic leader asked:
''Does the gentleman still believe
in silver at Is to II"
When Mr.. Williams said that he
would answer that question the hum
;of whispered conversation ceased
members gathered nearer the speaker
and ears were strained to catch the
reply. It came with dramatic force
land directness, emphasized and driver
home by the arguments he advanced
He declared that time, conditions
land environments should determine
the platform Of the Democratic Party
and, while he could not predict what
that platform would be, he hopeC
that silver would have no part in it
Mr.. Williams stated that he did moi
question the right of his forefather!
, to secede, but that he was not such {
foOlas to advance secession at thi
particular time, intimating that On'
issue was as much entitled to buria
as: the other.
