He then announced that a message
In answer to Judge Parker had been
prepared and would be submitted to
the convention. He asked Senator
Tillman to read the message, which
was as follows:
"The platform adopted by this con
vention Is silent on the question of the
monetary standard, but it is not re
garded by us as a possible Issue In
this campaign, and only campaign Is
sues were mentioned In the platform.
Therefore, there Is nothing In the
views expressed by you In the tele
gram Just received which would pre
clude a man entertaining them from
accepting the nomination on said plat
form,"
As Tillman concluded the reading of
the message Representative Richard
son of Alabama arose, as he said, to
dispassionately discuss the message to
be sent to Judge Parker. Chairman
Clark said he had recognised Senator
Tillman, who desired to discuss the
mater. R'chardson retired at once,
and while Tillman was making his
speech Bryan came into the hall. In
stantly there was an uproar. Calls
for "Bryan!" "Bryan!" went up and
the galleries applauded. When Bryan
appeared on the platform his face was
chalk-white.
Bryan presented an amendment to
the reply to Judge Parker as follows:
