Bt Louis. July i. "Old-timers." who
have attended many conventions, today
declare that the-speech delivered by
John Sharp Williams, aa temporary
chairman of the Democratic . national
convention thla afternoon, waa one of
the finest political efforts ever.mad
Tha Mlsslsslpplan brought ail ma pol
ished powers of oratory, bis' keen logic
and biting sarcasm to bear on the Re
publican claims, platform and history
and at times lifted his hearers to such
pitch of enthusiasm that men, arose
In their seat and fairly abouted them
selves hoarse.
The speaker's voice waa hardly of a
carrying power to All the great hall
and many of thoso In tha rear galleries
were disappointed. He opened hla speech
by going directly to tha point of argu
ment and cloaed in a whirlwind of ap
plause.
Mr. Will lama began by atatlng that the
moat important quadrennnt event in
tha world is the electlon,-by the Amer
ican people of their chief 'executive.
Before that great elevation, takes place
at which- all men are supposed to. arrive
at by choice- and through byways of
honesty and Intelligence would-ia.Ctod
they did et least two minor, elections
of a different character are held.
"There have always been two great
parties who have elected delegatea to
conventions for the purpose of selecting
ar candidate and .promulgating a pli
form. m. .
"One- of -these has already aelected Ita
candidate and announoed ita platform.
It waa one of tha quietest and most
unanimous occasions that the muaes of
history hsva recorded." r .
The addreaa of Its -temporary chair
man waa In one sense historical, mostly
nclent history and a great deal of It

bad history It was a labored a ttempt
to draw away attention from Roosevelt
Ism with Ita volcanic,. eruptive, reckless
character, by dwelling upon the fact that
at some period in. its history the -Kepub
flcan parry ha ben a party which did
things and did them sarely. -Vo
Xonr Progressive.
Tha ocator hoped to have the country
keep in sight tha fact that it la now In
both legislative branches a party or non
action, obstruction-to reform and-progress;
In a word, a party whoae only
sacred precept la tha shibboleth drawn
from tha gambler's table, -stand pat." a
precept born of cowardice and fear to
move. .-
- Williams spoke of the wonderful
mutual admiration society of "me-too-
Teddy" and "me-too-Ellhu. When
ferrlng to Root's peroration the orator
quoted from Roofs speech at the Cooper
Union la New Tork In October. 10J. in
which Root said "the tariff on a whole
haa worked well" and that "it U better
to endur some slight inequalities for a
time than to Incur -uncertainty and dis
turbance In business which results from
making changes." Williams said ha
had heard that the president in his po
litical tour In the west in the spring of
los bad made a speech on the same sub
ject In the identical language.
"Verily." aald Williams, "two souls
with but single thought, two speeches
tnat reaa like one, and that .single
thought if harmoniously expressed is not
to force a single special Interest to take
Its lips from the publlo breast, for fear
tha publlo ' finding them unnecessary,
might shake them all off. .

"How humorous to praise so highly our
reuow cltlsen in the White House who.
In the long line of great men who have
filled " ttio seat ' TiS now ' oceuplosr ha
himself found only about three In his
opinion worthy of anything like un
stinted praise Washington, LlnryJn
and himself. . - Verily, other humorists
will have to retire from business."
Williams quoted ' Root's temporary
speech In which he aald that the Repub
lican party la the medium of the people
In the expression of moral sentiment
The speaker then sarcastically went
over a list of scandala In past and pres
ent, history, referring to the Credit
Mobller, the Degolyer-Amea affair, the
whisky ring and to a long "saturnalia'
of southern reconstruction aa ancient in-,
cldenta. . , ...
The poatofflce bureau scandal, the pub
llo landa bureau methods, full sway of
bosses, and ttie celebrated order of
"Hell-Roaring Jake" 'Smith prescribing
10 years aa the age above which children
were to 'be killed In one of the Inlands of
the Philippines, were referred to as
modern instance. ; ;
The speaker laughed at Root's state
ment that offenders had been relentlessly
punished. "The secretary : boasts." he
aald. "that the pei capita of circulation
of money among the people has Increased
rrom 2li In March. 187, to 131.01 Ir.
May last, and that tha credit for thai
snd the consequent prosperity I due to
the Republican party. What a curious
boast , this Is." said he, "for those deny
ing so. strenuously tnat the quantety of
money had anything to do with the value
Of money, of the price of other things aa
measured in money or with sn ascending
scale or prices, or with national pros

"This was all denied but yesterday. ,
"Now It is asserted that the volume
of metallic money -has been immensely
