slider what is actually involved in these
words 1 believe you will reach the
same conclusion that 1 have reached
that Judge Parker, possibly under the
stress of clamor around him and in the
New York papers and by kilograms,
has felt that he must make his position
plain, whether we have or not, has sent
this telegram here. Giving him the
benefit of the doubt, as 1 myself would
want you to give it to me, have
reached the conclusion that the mans
action in sending these words in a dis
patch was meant TO give US the oppor-
tunity, if we found that his views were
so contrary to our own, to put some
body else at the head of the ticket
While Tillman was speaking Repre-
sentative John S. Williams proceeded
from the platform to the seat of Rich
ardson and the two engaged in earnest
conversation. Tillman's remarks were
followed closely by the whole audi
ence. His vehement declaration: IT
swore by Almighty God that 1 would
r endure to be trifed with" brought
forth applause and cheering.
AS Senator Tillman was endeavoring
The San Francisco call., 1904-07-10

to conceal it from anybody. He had
supported our candidates and had said
that, although he did not agree with US
upon this plank, he was still a Demo-
crat. (Applause)
My friends, we purposely made a
platform, so far as the monetary
standard was concerned, upon which
William ]. Bryan could have stood or
Grover Cleveland could have stood, or
anybody else who was with us in the
pending live campaign issues could
have stood" (Applause.)
TEXT OF PROPOSED REPLY.
The speaker asked Senator Tillman
to read the message that the leaders
had drawn up as reply to Parker,
but there was a short delay, owing to
the difficulty experienced by the SEN
ator in deciphering the handwriting
of williams. The Senator asked for
quiet, saying that he had undergone
an operation on his throat and that
his voice had lost that nightingale
q-ality that it once possessed" He
then proposed to read the telegram,
The San Francisco call., 1904-07-10

the surface of the earth has been so
supersensitive about matter of per-
sonal rectitude and personal honor as
to send a telegram asking a friend to
decline nomination for him if, as he
seems to have been informed, there
has been something in the platform
which is not in accord with his opin-
ion.
my friends, we purposely made this
platform silent on the question Of the
money standard, because we thought it
was not an issue in this campaign. Gap
plause) And we all agreed, further
more, that nothing should be placed in
the platform which was not a cam
paign issue, and the consequence was
that in the resolutions committee mo-
tions were made to table, and those
motions were carried, every resolution
on both sides which tended to bring up
as an issue in this campaign the ques-
tion of the monetary standard.
Now, my friends, Judge Parker ex-
presses his opinion, for fear somebody
might think that you did not know it,
There was not in all this vast assembly
one single man who did not already
know that Judge Parker was a gold
standard man. l have been one of the
most consistent, persistent and perhaps
radical silver men in the United States,
and knew that he was gold standard
man, and he never made any attempt

silence so deep, so intense, that, not
withstanding his weakened voice. every
word was distinctly audible in all parts
OF the hall. He then handed the tele-
gram to Governor Vardaman, who,
after requesting absolute quiet, read
the telegram as follows:
I regard the gold standard as firm
ly and irrevocably established and
shall act accordingly If the action Of
the convention of to-day shall be rati-
fed by the people. AS the platform is
silent on the subject my view should
be made known to the convention, and
II il proves unsatisfactory to the ma
jority 1 request you to decline the
nomination for me at once, so that an
other may be nominated before ad-
journment."
A ringing cheer went around the
hall, but ii was brief, so anxious were
the delegates to see what would fol-
low. Williams continued:
Mr.. Chairman think you will
bear me out in what I said. This is
the first time in the history of the
United States that man already
nominated for the greatest Office on

FORM
AS Tillman concluded the reading Of
the message, Representative Richard
son of Alabama arose, as he said, ito
dispassionately discuss the message to
be sent to Judge Parker" Chairman
Clark said that he had recognized
Senator Tillman, who desired to dis
cuss the matter. Richardson bowed
and retired at once and Tillman pro-
ceeded.
Tonight, when became acquainted
with the fact that telegram had been
sent here which seemed to be an insult
and an attempt to dictate said Till
man, Il sought the gentleman to whom
it was addressed; read it hastily and
I confess, fellow Democrats, that anger
in me which is often too quick to rise,
surged UP in a flame, and 1 took it to
be the idea of any man who has re-
spect for himself and had been a free
silverite that an indignity was being
put upon us and that some one was at
tempting to trifie with us, and 1 swore
by the almighty God that 1 for one
would not endure it. Judge Parker's
act has been characterized by Williams
The San Francisco call., 1904-07-10

as probably injudicious. I think myself
it, was entirely unnecessary, and while
my friend-and I am ready to accept
his Interpretation = has given it the
meaning Of being the result of a highly
honorable and sensitive nature, unwill
ing to fight under false colors, I was
ready at once to deny and to denounce
this man as having attempted to re-
peat what was done at Kansas City
four years ago: dictate to the party
what should be its plan of battle.
thought it might be said of this man
that he was attempting to enlarge our
platform and to take the liberty to
write on to it something that was not
already in 1t after we ourselves had
completed 1t, but If you calmly con-
