Given as Written.
CBy The Associated Press.)

Esopus Aug 12-Judge Parker made no interpo-
lation on the gold standard in his speech OF ac-
ceptance at the ceremonies at Rosemount
wednesday. His manuscript as given in advance to
the press was followed. to the letter in SO FAR
reference was made 10 the gold standard telegram
sent to the 81. Louis convention. Some few
changes Of phraseology or, 10 be more exact OF
svnonvrnes were made in relation 10 other subjects
but not one deviation affecting the original mean
ing of the speech. This statement is made upon
the highest authority obtainabe. and is confirmed
by several newspaper men who followed the speech
during its delivery
what purporJed to be his Interpolation. he made Il
clear that he had objection TO the circulation
OF a story the effect that he had emphasized
his conviction that the gold standard is firmly
and irrevocably established. It had been his
intention to place as much emphasis upon his posi-
ton in that regard IL was possible for him 10
do. Some indignation is felt at Rosemount. how
ever. at what appears 70 Judge Parker 10 be an
attempt create the impression that he had writ
ten one speech for national consumption. and de-
livered another for the benefit of those who were
present TO hear for themselves what the candidate
had 20 say Hints Of double dealing on the part
of resentment that such charges should be made
without the slightest foundation in fact
The alleged Interpolation is as follows:

in order that there may be no Misunderstanding in

that 1 am unalterably. irrevocably and heartily

as that which he did use, and which was printed
as part OF Judge Parker's speech Il is CON
sidered involved IN comparison with the concise
language Of the speech itself. II was made plain
al Rosemount that Judge Parker will stand by his
speech as written. and with the unimportant
changes Of delivery but that he wants II under

dealing in relation 10 the gold standard or other
