Pur an hour the subject of Judge Parker's telegram the original of which had been privately shown to a fw of the leaders, was the topic of cxdted conversation in small groups throughout the building. In a conference betwen Senator Hill and Senator liaulel the latter said: 1 most positively say that the on resolutions cannot meet again. We have finished our work." Several other members of the committee joined In echoing this sentiment. The action of Judge Parker waa taken to mean dictation to the convention and aroused the- greatest anger. Governor Vardanian, speaking tor said that the delegates of that late would not consent tliat any gentleman shall dictate to the convention u to what should be Its platform, and would Join In an effort to reconsider the nomination If such dictation should be attempted. Senator Tillman, talking with other asked It the "committee on fssoluilong was to be kicked about u (bough it was nothing. He sent word to Senator Daniel that any pt to reconsider the Action on the Mi form and Insert the gold standard Pwok would raise a storm In the Many delegates expressed the bpluion that Judge Parker would have to back down or another candidate would be named.

The band played ''Dixie an waa rewarded with the usual yells. While the convention waited good order prevailed. Suddenly the clerks voice rose with the announcement that there Is a telegram at the desk tor George Frederick Williams. A ripple of laughter began in the Massachusetts delegation and spread over the hall. The committee reached the hall at 9:35 and filed slowly along the crowded aisle in the center of the convention floor. Delegates thronged about them, What shall we do? "Keep asking, your heads and behave, retorted Senator Tillman with emphasis and he repeated the injunction at numerous intervals. John Sharp Williams, Governor Vardanian, Senator Tillman and Senator Carmack made their way to the plat-for- m with the mysterious message In their possession. A short conference took place among the four and Chairman Clark, while the delegate! sang, "lly Old Kentucky nome. l'1 1 Chairman Clark pounded for' order wit John Sharp Williams standing by hit side. I wish to announce in advance, said the chairman, that on thla Important matter every.man shall bava a full and fair hearing. I now Introduce John Sharp Williams of Mississippi. Mr. Williams spoke as follows: Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Convention: All of ua were very much surprised and excited thla afternoon, to use no stronger words, at what purported to be copies of telegrams which had been aent by our nominee to Mr. Carmack and others In this city. I want to tell you that but one telegram baa been received. Mr. Carmack not only recelvel no telegram today of the character that haa been published, but never received a telegram from Parker In hla life. And nobody received n telegram containing the language in that Infamous volunteer production. A telegram has come from Mr. Parker to Mr. Sheehan, however, which i shall read in a moment and It la so Important that you should know-- what It la, that, after I have read It, I shall hand it to my friend, the governor of my state, Mr. Vardaman. and have him read It over again. When you have heard it you will note that tnere is not In It one word about requiring or demanding, or asking, or requesting thit anything should be yaced in the Democratic platform. (Loud applause.) Yon will also note that If there Is any error In It at all It is an error of judgment proceeding from a too sensitive spirit of honor. (Applause.) A too sensitive Idea not to be misunderstood or placed In a false or in n double position. I ahull now aak Governor Vardaman to read the telegram to you. (Loud cheering and applause.) Mr. Williams words were heard In a alienee so deep, so intense, notwithstanding his weakened voice hla every word was distinctly audible In all parts of the hall. He then handed the telegram to Governor Vardaman, who after requesting absolute silence, reed the telegram aa follows: "Hon William F. Sbtehan: I regard the gold standard as firmly and Irrevocably established and shall art accordingly If the action of the convention today shall be ratified by tbe people. As the platform is silent on the subject, my view should be made known to the convention and If it proven to be unsatisfactory to tbe majority, I request you to decline the nomination for me at once, so that another may be nominated before adjournment. "A. B. PARKER He then announced that a message In answer to the one from Parker had been prepared and would be submitted to the convention. a ringing cheer went around the hall, but it was brief, so anxious were the delegates to see what would follow. Mr. Williams continued: Mr. Chairman, I think you will bear roe out In wbat I Mid. This is the first time in the history of the United States (fast a man already nominated for the greatest office on the surface of the earth haa been so sensitive about n matter of personal rectitude and personal honor as to send a telegram asking friend to decline n nomination for him. if, as he seems to hare teen in there has been som-rhithe platform whbh is not In accord . with his ouinion.
