Williams' Defends Parker.
In Ills speech advocating the adon
tion of tliio reply to Judge Parker's
message to William F. Sheehnn. Mr.
Williams said:
"My friends, wo purposely made
this platform silent on the question
of the monetary standard. Wo made
It silent because we all agreed that
it wns not nn issuo In this campaign
(applause) and wo all were of the
opinion that nothing should be plac
ed In the platform that was not a
campaign Issuo, and in the resolutions
committee motions weiyj made to
tablo nnd thoso motions were carried,
every resolution on both sides which
tended to bring up In this campaign
the question of the monetary stand
ard. "Now, my friends, Judge Parker
expresses his opinion for fear some
body might think that you did not
know It. There was not in nil this
vast assemblage one single, solitary
man who did not already know that
Judge Parker was a gold standard
man. 1 have been one of the most
consistent, porsistent nnd perhaps
radical silver standard men In the
in the United States, and I know ho
Wns a gold standard man and ho
nevpr mndo any attempt to conceal it
fro manybody. Ho had supported our
candidates and bad said that although
he did not agree with us on this
plank, be wns still a democrat. (Ap
plause).
Tillmnn, of South Carolina, and
Bryan led an Ineffective but vigorous
fight against the Williams resolution,
with how much avail the vote above
glvion shows.

dnys. Norton nnd Tomey, who oper
ate a combine hnrvester will cut Mr.
Alcorn's grain and will begin at once.
