WRITES LETTER FOR PUBLIC. Declares He Voted for Br van in 18fl(J When Gold Committee Is About to Indorse His Candidacy. According to Congrcssnnn John Weley Giins of TcnressCe. Judge Parker's tel egram to ths National Democratic Con vention Saturday relatlvo to the money plank In the platform Is not the first time that the Democratic nominee for Presi dent has made a stand as to his views on the monev question During the cam pnlgn when he nana candidate for Judge of the New York Court or Appeals and the question was raised as to his party rec ord, he said- "I will write a letter for publication, on one condition, statin? I toted for Bryan, hut It must be published In the preae. be cause the Gold Committee met soon to Indorse me for the Judgeship nomination I want the committee to know beforehand how I TOted In 1S36. I won't sail under fala color." In speaking; of the incident last night Congressman Galnea said: The letter was then and there written to Elliott Danforth, who was among the Inquisitors. He gate the letter, as he told me. to the New York Press. This Judge Parker also told me. Mr. Danforth In Waahlnston recently told me he had this letter In his possession. This Is Its text, omitting the address, the date, Sep tember :, 1S37: "My Dear Dnfcrth: It was entirely rlrtt for you to bring to my attention a queitlon which lb sincere, frlenda of Mr. Bryan &r prsseing opon you. I can frankly and sincere ly ay to you that I TOted for the. last na tional somlaeea of tha Dcroocratla Tarty, as I bars voted for all ths regular Democratic noiu Iniu sines X had a ote. Jirtia Goldj;oj5mUteaJijext.day met.and Indorsed Judge "Parker, To mo sludge Parker said, as I recall: "Several members of this committee met me afterwards and asked -why I didn't wait until they had Indorsed me, before, publishing the letter. I told them r wanted them to know the fact before th'ey acted. "Judge Parker's telegram to Mr. Shee han was prompted by the same manly, frank spirit which Impelled the KJllott Danforth letter. ALWAYS A PARTT MAN". "Parker, we all know, was and Is a gold man but always a party man. The original St. Louis platform was silent on this question. Many supported and will support Parker because he is and has been and will be a gold man. Others hate supported him knowing that the money question is not a party issue in this cam paign, full as it is of other vital issues. "Ills gold supporters might suspect Parker of wavering In his gold views be cause of tbe omission on the subject by our platform. To remove this sucpicion, to show that he had nothing to do with f riming the platform on this point. to make himself fully known to all men, and par ticularly to the convention before its de liberations were finished, he folt It his .I..... ... .. .& t.l..nm Chi.h.n IV "It itamni him manlv. honest, frank and open, a man who would rather main tain his good tame and preserve his own peace of conscience than be President of the United States, however alluring the party honor and however tempting the political opportunity. "I believe we have a. ticket that will win. Former Senator Davis is a Southern man. He Is a self-made man at the head of large affairs. When a number of Judse Parker's friends sought a Southern man for the second place on the ticket. It was not unnatural that such a man as Henry G. Davis should be decided upon. His nomination assures the return of West Virginia to the Demoeratic column of States, along with the gain of most of the congressional districts." WORLDS FAIR PROGRAMME FOR TO DAY.

Wills or tho Missouri Pacific Hospital, was sent to the relief of the injured, but it wa9 more than an hour before any physician reached the wreck, and It was not untU 11 o'clock last night that the Injured reached Union Sta tion, owing. It was said, to the trouble in repairing the tracks, which were torn up. for a distance of a quarter of a mile. There were between five and six hun dred passengers on the train, whloh was one of the Sunday cheap excursions. Many of the excursionists were women, who had children with them. How Clifford Osterkamp. 11-year-old ton of Robert Osterkamp of No. 1S07 North Jefferson atenue. escaped from the wreck with his life. Is remarkable. When the train Jumped the track he was In the bag gage coach, which was the first to leava the track after the tender was derailed. The baggage coach rolled down a fifteen-foot embankment, and the boy wa threwn from one end of the coach to the otter. Just before he struck the end of the coach he threw out both hands and thereby broke the force of the fall. TELLS OF EXPERIENCE. John H. Quincy, agent for the excur sion, who was In the forward car. says that the sensation that came to the pas sengers was that their car or tho tender ahead had been derailed. "There wag a bumping of the wheel along the ties, then a sudden overturning, and the whole forward part of tho train was overturned." said Quincy. "Thcra was great commotion on the train. "The passengers who were fortunaf. enough to be in the rear aart of the train were thrown from their seats, and those; in the forward part were rolled oter Into a confused mass. "The women screamed and there was great confusion. The passengers flnallv broke through the windows and scrambled out of tho shattered cars. One or two of the coaches were turned over, and the es cape from death astonished all who wit nessed the wreck. "What Is known as the West House, switch. Just west of Labadie Station, was the cause ot the accident. The small wheels ot the tender split the switch after the engine had passed over." S.EW EDIFICE IS DEDICATED.
