For several minutes after the Mur- phy incident the demonstration con- tinued. Finally in desperation Mr. Williams threatened discontinuation of his speech. “You have placed me here. I am your servant. If ybou don’t want me to continue, it is your pleasure,” he cried. | This announcement was ef- fective and Mr. Willlams secured con- trol, the demonstration that his men- tion of Cleveland had caused dying slowly out. Then he stated that he had heard | that Dewey, Schley and Miles were Democrats;y that a Republican ad- ministration had snubbed the first, tried to disgrace the second and in- sulted the third, and the convention again broke out into shouts and ap- plause. By this time Mr. Williams’ voice was failing. It grew weaker and he was heard with difficulty, even by those near the platform. Mr. Williams’ flow of oratory was uninterrupted for some time. A re- sponse of applause followed his de- nunciation of the Republican claims of prosperity because of the tariff. NOISE REIGNS SUPREME. Cries of “Louder” were again heard in various parts of the hall. “I wish 1 had the lungs to speak louder, but I cannot,” Mr. Williams answered. “What did you say?” came a voice from the gallery. 8o rapidly did the noise increase that Mr. Williams began to address himself directly to the persons on the platform. This brought forth from the galleries loud cries of “Time” and ‘‘Louder.” J Mr. Willlams, with all the voice he had left, turned to the audience and began to talk upon the race question. When he referred to the incident at the Republican convention, when a colored child and a white child were both on the platform waving flags, _— there were cries of “This is a white man’'s country.” So great did the noise become that the sergeant at | arms went down into the hall and ordered the aisles cleared. But the police had difficulty in carrying out these instructions. Mr. Williams had been speaking an hour and twenty minutes. “Now, a few words in conclusion,” Sald Mr. Willlams, “and if you are as pleased to hear that conclusion as I am | to conclude, this will be the most de- lighted audience that ever existed.” Mr. WilliAms spoke but a few words more and concluded his address greatly | exhausted. The perspiration was streaming from his face, his collar was | a soft, white roll of linen, his voice was worn to a frazzle, and could not be heard twenty feet from where he stood the chromos, for the draperies, the | bunting, the servants, and the service.” RISE OF THE TARPEY IRE.
