BY WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN. (Copyright, 1012, by Virgil V. MoNitt.) BALTIMORE, June 28.—It was a surgical operation, and it was possibly @.mistake not to have administered chloroform, but I did not expect quite se much tumult. It is strange what consternation can be brought into a political convention by the introduc- tion of a moral issue. If I had offered a. resolution declaring that all Republicans are rascals and all Democrats angels, and pledging the Democratic party to give the people a perfect government, Boss Murphy would have seconded the motion. Ryan and Belmont would have / phoyted themselves hoarse, and Flood would have declared that I was as good as a Virginia Democrat, But when I called the country’s at- tention to the fact that we had in the convention two men who are politically sexless, who have no God but money, and-who do not hesitate » to use politioal power for their own enrichment, I at once became “a dis- turber of peace” and an “enemy of the Democratic part; , If my conduct was so reprehensible, if my resolution was so offensive, if I wae injuring the chances of the Democratic party by introducing it, why did Virginia cast 23% votes for it, and only %4 vote against it? If ex-Gov. McCorkle represented West Virginia in the speech that he xz ‘ made, why did he not get more than three votes against it !n his delegation? | If I was jeopardising the interests of our party, why did Florida give | three-fourth® of her votes to the resolution? Why did poor Alabama have to ‘get out of the trap by changing her vote? She came first on the roll, and, supposing by the speeches made that the resvlution was going to be opposed, ghe started out boldly against it—and after that tt snowed. ‘Why did not the New York men who hissed and hooted at the resolution have the courage to vote against it? Shakespeare explains it. “It 1s con- edience that makes cowards of us ull.” BELMONT AND RYAN “PLOWING WITH OUR HEIFER.” Belmont and Ryan have been plowing with our heifer; they have been employing the method: ly resorted to by the predatory interests, and the men whom they were leading astray were protesting that they were just progressive as anybody. They were insisting that their objection to Mr. Bryan was @ personal objection. They were “tired of him,” “opposed to his dicta- thon,” &c, If things had run along smoothly, these men would have helped in a convention, The delegate section was like a great, bolling spring. Men were ‘ghaking their fists at each other, some shouting anathemas at any one who would Gare to uncover them, and others clamoring to be counted in favor of the reso- ution. ‘There is nothing more timid than a politician, except two politicians, ‘The ratlo of moral courage in the plain, every day voter, as wompared with the courage of the average delegate to a national convention !# about 16 to 1, If a national convention could assemble and do its work and then take @ recess for a month and allow final action to be taken after the delegates had returned from ‘a visit home, our convention would come much nearer representing the people. ‘1 would not advise that, however, in the present case, for fear some'ot the delegates might not be able to get back, Bat the convention has done one thing, if nothing else.

HALTED BY CONSCIENCE Court Says He Was Once Consulted by One of the | Prisoner’s Lawyers. (Special to The Evening WorlA.) WHITE PLAINS, N. Y., June 2%—The Thaw hearing was resumed this morn- ing as if nothing happened. The sanity hearing had been stopped because of Judge Keogh’s conscience, and perhaps it was just as well. And, incidentally, Harry Thaw came very near injuring his own case iby throwing it back at least six months. When Thaw was on the stand Wednes- day he spoke of having “kicked Hart- ridge out of his case” and of retaining Hartridge’s partner, Russell Peabody, since dead, He added that there was man in court who had advised with Mr, Peabody as to remaining in the came. hg “*h@ the time Thaw asked ff he should mention the name of the man and both Jerome and Shearn were nonplussed. Justice Keogh said that it was not necessary. The man referred to was Justice Keogh. Whether Thaw thought that his Ittle bombshell would have helped his case, 1s not known, The bombshell was not exploded, Had it been it probably would have resulted in the case being stopped where it was or being transferred to Justice Tompkins, the only judge in the district who has not had his inning with Thaw. JUSTICE KEOGH SAYS HE GAVE ADVICE TO PEABODY. Justice Keogh looked searchingly at Thaw while he was speaking. On Wednesday night he gave the matter consideration. He remembered that when Hartridge, who was charged with squandering $0,000 of the Thaw money, left the case, Russell Peabody, Hart- ridge’s partner, had gone to him for advice. “Mr. Peabody 4 Judge Keogh, after the noon recess to-day, “had mar- ried a cousin of my wife, and I took @ great interest in him, After Thaw had spoken I remembered that Russell had asked m Whether Hartridge could col- lect half his fee, and 1 advised him in the matter. My consctence troubled me, and yesterday morning I called the at- torneys into my chambers and went over the whole matter with them, “I suggested turning the case over to Judge Tompkins, Mr, Jerome was will- ing, but Mr, Sheatn opjected, As you know, we had three conferences and I had telephoned to Jutge Tompkins and had his consent to take the case, When woe left here last evening the matter| |waw still in abeyance, Last night 1 went over the whole matter in my own} | mind and concluded that I could, with| | perfectly clear consctence, go on with| the case.

N| The hearing was picked up Just where | » it had been cut off after Justice Keogh and the two lawyers had summoned a stqnographer, Justice Keogh entered court at 11.15 and sald to Mr, Shearn: “Call your first witness,” Mr. Shearn said that he had prom. |isead on Wednesday afternoon that he woul cross-examine Thaw, but that 1¢ the court would forgive that promise he | wowld not put him on the stand, Mr. Jerome waid that owing to the \pressure of business in court on Tuesday and Wednesday that he had not had | sufficient time to complete his examina. | tion of Thaw and would Mke to do so. jov NEW YORK, FRIDAY, ‘JUNE 28, “1912, ONE, INJURES FOUR N BIG BREWERY Ammonia Tank in Ruppert’s Ice-Making Plant Cause Fatal Wreck.

NEW YORKERS IN CAUCUS. The New York delegation went into caucus shortly after 3 o'clock. The delegation decided to stick to Harmon for the present and possibly vote for Clark later. “We can caucus any time without leaving our chairs,” said Alton B. Parker. Charles F, Murphy announced after the caucus that it was not definite that New York's ninety votes would go to Clark on the third ballot, Marshall, 31. Under the two-thirds rule Clark was 286 votes shy of the nominat- ing total. Wilson was 402 votes away, Mr. Bryan believes he has achieved a great moral victory in securing the passage of ‘his Morgan-Ryan-Belmont resolution, which was hurled into the convention like a bombshell last night.
