Congressman Gaines of Tennessee
Recalls Incident During: Hi.s
New York Campaign.
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."

!
An excursion train on the Missouri Pa
cific Railroad, known as the "Griffin Ex
cursion." which left Union Station at 10:43
o'clock yesterday morning for Washington,
Mq. was derailed Just west of Labadl'j
Station at 12-"1) o'clock yesterday after
noon. Four of the ten coaches of the train
were overturned, causing serious injurie
to three passergers and slight injuries to
ten others.
The train was gules at a rate of forty
miles an ho'ir, when the tender brok
through a switch rail, ditching the bag
gage car and four coaches. That thern
were no fatalities Is regarded by the rail
road officials as miraculous.
The train was In charge of Conductor
J J. Betts of this city and Engineer
Samuel White Walter White was th
fireman. The engine was not derailed
and the engineer and fireman escaped
without a scratch.
The greater number of the Injured were
In the first and second coaches. Conduc
tor Betts was In the setenth coach col
lecting fares when the accident occurred
and he aIo escaped with a few bruises.
A special train, in charge of Doctor P.
F Vasterllng and Doctor W. 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."
