Williams' Speech.
St. Louis, July 6. The convention
was called to order at 12 o'clock.
After the usual minor details and dem
onstrations, John Sharp Williams of
Mississippi, temporary chairman of
the convention took the platform to
deliver the opening address.
Williams began by stating that the
most Important quadrennial ercnt In
the world is election by ih Ameri
can people of their chief executive.
He then spoke as follows:
"Before the great elevation takes
place at which all men are supposed
to arrive at their choice by ways of
honesty and intelligence, (would to
God they did), at least two minor
elections of different character are
! held.
I "Thrpo hnvn nlw.iVK lmen two ereat
parties who have elected delegates to
conventions for the purpose of select
ing a candidate and promulgating a
platform. One of these has select
ed Its candidate and announced its
platform.
"It was one of the 'most unanimous'
occasions that the Muses of History
has recorded. The addresses of the
chairman was, ln one sense, historical,
mostly ancient history and a great
deal of It. bad history.
"It was a labored attempt to draw
awav attention from Roosevelts vol
canlc eruptive, reckless character, by
dwelling upon the fact that at some
period ln Its history, the republican
party has been " a party wnicn ma
things and did them safely.'
"The orator hoped to have the coun
try lose sight of the fact If- Is now,
Jn both legislative nrancne, n pany
passively of non-action, of' obstruction
to reform and progress. In a word,
it is a party whose only sacred pre
ceDt is a shibboleth drawn from a
gambler's table, 'stand pat,' a precept
born of cowardice and fear to move.
Williams then spoke of tho wonder
ful mutual admiration society of "Me,
too, Teddy: and me, too, (Kllhu)."
He referred to Root's peroration and
then ouoted from Root's speech at
Cooper union, New YorK, in uctooer.
1902. ln wh ch Root said "tne tann
law on a whole has worked wen, ana
that It Is better to endure some slight
inequalities for a time than Jncur un
certainty and disturbance of business
which results from progress and mak
ing changes, and he bad heard that
tho president In his political tour
West in the spring of 1903, mado
speeches on the same subject In iden
tical language.
"Verily," said Williams, "two soula
with but a single thought; two
speeches that read like one; and that
thought bo harmoniously expressed,
as not to force single special Interest
to take its Hps from the public breast
for fear that tho public, finding them
unnecessary, might shako them all
off.
"How proper It is to praise our fel
low citizen In the White House who,
in the time of great men who have
filled the seat he now occupies, has
himself found only about three ln bis
stinted praise Washington. Lincoln,
and himself. Verily other humorists
will have a rest of business."
Williams quoted Roofs temporary
speech" that the republican party Is
the medium of the people ln the ex
pression of moral sentiment, and then
sarcastically went over the list of
scandals in its past and present his
tory; the Credit Sioblller, Degolyer,
Aames, the whisky ring, and the long
saturnalia of southern reconstruction,
of incidents ln the postofflce depart
ment, public lands bureau, the full
sway of the bosses, the celebrated or
der of "Hell Roaring Jake" Smith
prescribing 10 as the age above which
children were to be killed in the
Philippines.
The speakers laughed at Root's
statement that the offenders had been
relentlessly punished.
"The secretary of the treasury
boasts that the per capita of clrcula
tion of money among the people hns
Increased from 23.14 In March, lv.u
to 31.2 in May last, and that the cred
It for that ,and Its consequent prosper
ity are due to the republican party.
"What a curious boast this is, for
those lately denying so strenuously
that the quantity of money had any
thing to do with the value of money,
of the price of other things as meas
ured ln money, or with an ascending
scale of prices, or with national pros
perlty? This was all denied but yes
terday.
"Now it Is asserted that the volume
of metallic money has been Immense
ly increased, that it has brought pros
perity, and is all due to republican
legislation.
"Was republican legislation opera'
tive In South Africa and the Klon
dike? Was it republican legislation
which made the immense crops?
What partnership is there between
gold and human industry, between in
genulty and the republican party, of
which the republican party Is the self-
assertive senior? What monumental
effrontery."
Turning to the republican platform
Williams declared it to be chiefly the
boast of the republican party that it
Is responsible for every good which
has happened. This he denied, re
ferring to its present obstructlveness
and Its evasion of live issues, refer
ring to the industrial depression which
the republicans have attempted to
shoulder on the democratic admini
stratlon.
Williams said when Cleveland came
Into office he found things on the
downward path.
Williams finished at 2:40, talking
one hour and 40 minutes. Tho band
started tho "3tar Spangled Banner,"
everybody standing. "Dixie" followed
and there was a great ovation, the
crowd calling for Bryan.

Bailey's View of Platform.
St. Louis, July 0. Bailey, of Texas,
who declined tho chairmanship of tho
committee on resolution, favors a
platform 'somewhat in line with that
adopted by the Maryland convention.
This points out tho glaring Inequal
ities and gross injustice In existing
tariff and promises vigorous and
prompt relief, but pledges itself to
see that policy bo carried out In a
conservative spirit of fairness to all
Interests.
Bailey says ho believes in hla tiarty
being perfectly honest In recognizing
the fact that under tho operation of
the government customs houses are
necessary. He expects a long, hot
fight In shaping tho platform and it
Is because of his delegation's wish to
