John Sharp Williams, Temporary Chairman, Makes a Brilliant Speech and Arouses the ST. LOUIS, July (. Under a great arched canopy of yellow cloth, ribbed and fringed In white, the Democratic hosts of the nation assembled today In national convention. The big coliseum hall never had so large a crowd animated by a single purpose. The weather outside was sultry and gloomy and the light which penetrated the hall from the windows was insufficient to dispel the darkness. A few brilliant electric globes, however, helped the struggling daylight and Illumined the gay colon of the decorations which, though simple, were effective. There was no attempt to mass them at any one central point and no pictures were displayed. In the lottery by which the seating of the state delegations was determined It happened that some of the largest were the most fortunately placed. New York. Indiana, Pennsylvania and Michigan delegations drew seats immediately in front of the speaker's platform. Alabama, New Jersey, Illinois and Indiana were Just to the rear of them, and Ohio, Kentucky, Maryland, Texas and Minnesota occupied the center of the hall.

National Committeemen Tarpey of California and Guffey of Pennsylvania were appointed a committee to escort Chairman Williams to the platform. The Mlaaiaa-Ippia- n was obliged to climb over the rail to get on the platform, which afforded much amusement to the crowd. Temporary Chairman Williams waa warmly greeted when he finally faced the big audience and began speaking at 12:25. Shouts of "Louder, John!' came from some friend up In the gallery. Chairman Williams' voice waa in fair condition, but hardly reached the end of the halL SPEECH OF CHAIRMAN WILLIAMS Chairman Williams began by stating that the most Important quadrennial event In the world Is the election of American the by people their chief executive. There have been two always great parties who have elected delegates to conventions for the purpose of selecting a candidate and promulgating a platform. One of these has selected its candidate and announced Its platform. It was one of the quietest, "moat unan imous occasions that muses of history have recorded. The address of the temporary chairman of that convention was in one sense historical, mostly ancient history, and a great deal of It bad history. It waa a labored attempt to draw away attention from Rooseveltisrn, its volcanic, eruptive, reckless character, by dwelling upon the fact that at some period In Its history the Republican party had been a party which did things and did them safely." The orator hoped to have the country lose sight of the fact that It la now In both legislative n, branches a party of passivity, of and to reform of obstruction progress in a word, a party whose only sacred precept Is the shibboleth from the gamblers table, drawn "Stand pat," a precept born of cowardice and fear to move. Chairman Williams spoke of the wonderful mutual, admiration society of "Me too Teddy and me too Ellhu," when referring to Root's peroration and then quoted from Root's speech at Cooper Union, New York, In October, 1902, In which Root said the tariff law on the whole has worked well and that It Is better to endure some slight Inequalities for a time than to incur the uncertainty and disturbance of business which results from the process of making changes and said he had heard that the president, In his political tour west In the spring of 1903, made a speech on the same subject and using Identical language. Williams, "Verily," said Chairman with souls two but a single thought, two speeches that read like one, and that single thought so harmoniously expressed Is not to force a single special Interest to take Its Ups from the public breast for fear the public, finding them unnecessary, might shake them all off. How humorous to praise so highly our fellow cltlsen In the White House, who, In the long line of great men who have filled the seat he now occupies, has himself found only about three In his opinion worthy of anything like unstinted praise Washington. Lincoln and himself. Verily, other humorists will have to retire from business." Chairman Williams quoted from Root's speech as temporary chairmen of the late Republican convention In which he said that the Republican party Is the medium of the people In the expression of moral sentiment, and then sarcastically went over the list of non-actio- Secretary JACKSON, Mich., July Hay, Senator Fairbanks, General Alger and Speaker Cannon arrived at 10:20 this morning.

The speaker laughed at Root's statement that the offenders had been relentlessly punished, and continued: "The secretary of the treasury boasts that the per capita of circulation of money among the people has increased from $23.14 In March, 1897, to $31.2 In May last, and that the credit for that and the consequent prosperity Is due to the Republican party. What a curious boast this is for those lately denying so strenuously that the quantity of money had anything to do with the value of money, of the price of other things as measured In money or with an ascending scale of prices or with national prosperity. This was all denied hut yesterday. Now it Is asserted that the volume of metallic money has been immensely Increased, that It has brought prosperity and that It Is all due to Republican legislation. Was Republican legislation operative In South Africa and the Klondike? Was it Republican legislation which made the immense crops ? What partnership is there between God, human Industry, ingenuity and the Republican party, of which the Republican party Is the senior member? What monumental effrontery." Returning to the Republican platform, Chairman Williams declared It to be the chief boast of the Republican party that It la responsible for every This he good which has happened. denied, referring to Its present obstructiveness and Its evasion of live Issues. Referring to the Industrial depression which the Republicans attempted to shoulder on the Democratic administration, Chairman Williams said that when President Cleveland came Into office he found things on the downward path. As to the reasons for that depression, he explained that the Indian famine and the Immense wheat crop of the United States brought the price to seventy cents. When wheat went up silver bullion went down there necessarily proving that there waa a connection 4n price between the two. Thus It came about McKinley was elected, because wheat went up. The boast that McKinley's election was responsible for high prices was false. As to Cuba, a public demand led the Republican party to fall into line. The Democrats voted for the war measure as enthusiastically as the Republicans. It would be Invidious to state the politics of the heroes, but he had heard that Admiral Dewey was a Democrat, Admiral Schley was a Democrat and General Miles was a Democrat, and It seemed to him he had. heard that a administration snubbed Republican the first tried to disgrace the second and Insulted the third. Turning to the trusts, he quoted the language of the Republican platform and went on to show that Attorney-GenerHarmon, under Cleveland's administration, really started the suits against the trusta.
