Mr. Bcyan then pr csedei to an
swer some Of the statements made by
those who had followed his first ad-
dress. Great applause followed his
assertion that lack I harmony in the
party could not be laid at his door.
MI. Bryan woke the galleries 70
enthusiasm when he declared that he
had expressed willingness to support
q gold standard man to build up har-
mony in the party and again when he
declared that be telieVed the adep ion
OF the gold standard would defeat the
party in the impending campaign.
There was only two ways out Of the
difficulty into which the action Of
Judge Parker hal plunged the party.
One Was to amend the message in the
manner he had suggested and the
other was to amend the platform by
the insertion Of gold plank. Lean
ing far over the railing in front Of the

''I will agree to accept Senator Car

friends of Judge Parker?P
It was 1910 when Mr.. Bryan con-

Williams rose. He plunged without
preface into scathing arraignment
of Mr.. Bryan. Turning from time to
time he faced Mr.. Bryan, who sat
with immobile countenance and
famed himself. His voice tremo oling,
MI. Williams declared that Mr..
Bryan had presented the spectacle OF
a man pleading for harmony when in
all this great convention MS had be. q
the only voice OF discord. The amend
uents to the Parker telegram, he
characterized as "a lot Of foolish ques-
tions." he spoke sa5ili:ally with
biting humor and great ea7netr ess.
Cries Of question, question:" came
so fast that confusion reigned for a
few minutes. During the confusion
an effort was made to make an. ad.
journment motion. This was ruled
out Of order.
Mr.. Bryan sprang to his feet and
declared that his delegation was 60
ing to support the candidate that New
York wanted for vice president aod
if it would conducs to harmony ne
would Withdraw his amendment to
the reply. Il am going to withdraw
this amendment" said Mr.. Bryan,
':our delegation will vote for the:
candidate for vice presidency that
New York wants. We are not going
to do one thing to mar the harmony
of the convention"
a roar of applause followed the an
nouncement. After some debate a
roll call was ordered on the question
Of adoption of the Williams reply to
Judge Parker's message to Mr.. Shee-
han.
As the roll call proceeded it was evi-
dent that the motion to send the mes
sage to Judge Parker would be car
ried by an overwhelming majority.
The result was announced to be ia
ayes, 1S1 noes, and the message was
ordered sent by the convention.
