Senator Daniel concluded at lily O'Clock His
speech received hearty applause

was the Presidential nominee of the PopuIlst
party, next spoke, being recognized amid calls
for Vote. Vote" from all over the hall

Parker 10 be foot higher than on yesterday
The Illusion was caused by the convention being
three feet lower. To send the telegram was
equivalent TO saying "Au right. judge. anything
you want We viii accede to- Both applause and
groans met this statement.
Mr. Weaver punned the name Of the place
from where Judge Parker sent his telegram. 1T
IS spelled Esopus'" he said but I think it
ought to read 'E-soap-us,'" Mr.. Weaver said
Vociferous cries of Question Question"
Vote followed. but the chairman recognized
Charles :. Hamlin. of Massachusetts. who urged
the sending of the telegram 70 Judge Parker
AS Mr.. Hanlin finished it was evident that
the delegates were heartily sick Of listening to
speeches, and were rapidly losing temper over
the constant succession Of speakers who mount
ed the platform, and they clamored fercely for q
vote, but Chairman Clark, true to his promise
that every man should have a fair show. recog-
nized Senator CarmaCk, of Tennessee. who said:
Gentlemen: 1t has ben printed in d newspaper
and circulated all over the country that I have
received a certain telegram from Judge Parker
declaring t4-aJ ne would not accept the nornin-
alton unless We inserted the gold standard plank
or some thing OF the sort. 1 simply want 10 say
70 you gentlemen OF the convention that that is
an absolute fake" I received no telegram or
other communication from Judge Parker since
this convention met, and l never did receive one
The speaker declared that Mr.. Bryan had said
that the nomination OF Judge Parker would be
declaration enough on the money plank.
Mr.. Chairman" said Mr.. Bryan. rising hast
fly, Il beg the gentIeman's pardon. but never
said that"
John 6. Williams supported Mr.. Bryan in his
and Senator Carmack accepted the
correction.
The Senator took occasion to deny that he had
ever received a message from Judge Parker. and
the Chair recognized Nj Bryan. who presented
an amendment to the reply TO Judge Parker. as
follows:
But as you Will, If elected. be called upon to
act upon certain phases Of the money question.
we would like TO know whether you are in
favor Of reducing the volume Of silver dollars;
whether you favor an asset currency and branch
national banks; whether you prefer national
bank currency to United States notes."
Mr. Bryan then proceeded to answer some OF
the statements made by those who had fol-
lowed his first address. Great applause followed
his assertion that lack Of harmony in the party
could not be laid at his door. Senator Carmack
undertook TO correct a statement made by Mr..
Bryan as to the proceedings IN the committee
on resolutions. and a short debate followed.
with the result that neither satisfied the others
as to who possessed the better memory.
The speaker woke the galleries to enthusiasm
when he declared that he had expressed a will
Angness to support a gold standard man TO build
up harmony in the party, and again when he
declared that he believed the adoption Of the
gold STANDARD would defeat the party in the i'm
pending campaign. There were only two ways
out Of the difficulty into which the action of
Judge Parker had plunged the party. One
TO amend the message in the manner he had
suggested. and the other to amend the plat
form by the insertion Of a gold plank Lean
