"We cannot permit such personal allusions, such vituperation. Senator Daniel persisted that he means no dlsrepspect, but he thought the time had arrived when all loyal Democrats should be actuated by the purest motives and their actions open to the fullest criticism, and declared his belief that the country stood upon the brink of a great calamity. He had favored free silver, but right or wrong, he thought the exigencies of the situation demanded that the Democracy bow to the wishes of New England and the great Empire state. Heroic situations demanded heroic remedies. Mr. Poe of Maryland declared that the committee should remember the effect such a deliberate refusal to Incorporate a financial plank In the platform would have. Without this plank Maryland's vote could not be had. He asked only that the committee give the great Interests of the country assurances that they be not disturbed, and declared Impressively that If he committee failed In this duty It will cost the Democracy the electoral vote in many statea Mr. Hill made a strong plea for the plank, declaring It was In the Interests of good government and augured success in the fall. Drifting from the financial plank to Judge Parker, Hill declared that he was an able, safe man, not the coward some would have us believe. Parker had ever supported the party's nominees and If this convention nominated another man Parker would support him and he (Hill) would go back and work for the party's choice.
