BRYAN OBJECTS TO PARKER.
Inc New York Candidate Declared Unfit
for Presidential Office.

CHICAGO, April 23.-William j i.
Bryan addressed a large audience to-
night in the armory of the second
infantry at the corner of Curtis street
and Washington boulevard. The
place was packed to its utmost capa-
city and large number of people
were unable to get through the doors.
The meeting was entirely an affair of
Mr.. Bryan's, he having rented the
armory and paid all the expenses of
the meeting. He was particular to
have it understood that his address
was not in favor of, or against any
particular aspirant for the democratic
nomination for president. His sub.
ject was "The New York Platform. -
This be repeated several times during
the course of his speech. In order
that his address might not have the
appearance of being delivered under
any particula ar political influence, Mr..
Bryan was his own presiding officer
and introduced himself to his bearers.
In the course of his remarks Mr.
Bryan said:
'When some two years ago be.
came satisfied that ex-senator David
B. Hill was planning to be a candi-
date, | pointed out the objections to
his candidacy. When the Cleveland
boom was launched l pointed out the
objections to his candidacy, and now
that Mr.. Parker seems to be the lead.

candid ate among the reorganizers,

cannot be considered as an available
candida ate for democratic nomina.
ton, and l find these reasons, not in
his personality, but in his position
upon public questions.
"W hatever doubt may have existed
on this subject heretofore has been
dispelled by the platform adopted by
the New York state convention, and
taking this platform as text am
sanguine enough to believe that can
prove to every unbiased mind that
Judge Parker is not fit man to be
nominated either by the democratic
party or by any other party that
stands for honesty or fair dealings in
politics. l cannot hope to convince
those who favor deception and fraud
in politics, but l am satisfied that we
now have evidence sufficient TO con-
vict Judge Parker of absolute untitness
for the nomination. If he did not
know OF the platform in advance, if he
did not himself dictate it or agree to
it, he has allowed it to go out as his
utterance, for the convention was
dominated by his friends, and adopted
resolution presenting him as the
candidate of the party of the state.
"The New York platform is a dis
honest platform, fit only for a dis
honest party. No one but an artful

Lorenzo M. Snow, then one of the II
apostles, who afterwards was elected
president of the church. Mr.. Snow
was convicted and sentenced.
In regard to the prosecutions, Judge
Powers said most of them had been
for polygamous coha bitation. Few
prosecutions were held for polyga amy,
as there were then no marriage laws
and marriages were secret, and poly
gamy, therefore, was hard to prove.
