In III Speech Ho 1) coin roil "All Chl engn l'lntrorm Doninerntn I.ookAHko to Mo" Tho Ciirronoy (juration Xot Coiintiloroil by National Commlttoo. Chicago, July 21. No friction de veloped nt tho meeting of tbtf Demo iratlc national committee, nml tha mon who mndo such bolllgerent nesortlons Wednesday night fulled to miiko them good yesterday. Not a Blnglo warllko note was sounded and no defiances were uttered olthor by tho men who demand that "1C to 1" shall be the rallying cry In tho next campaign or by those who opposo its adoption. The only move looking toward recog nition of tho silver mon by tho national committee was during tho afternoon, when tho Ohio Valley Bimetallic league was admitted to tho committee room and James P. Tarvin, of Kentucky, acting as spokesman, read the resolu tions adopted by the committco nt their meeting early In tho day at tho l'almer Houso. These resolutions demanded that planks bo Inserted In tho next Demo cratic national platform opposing trusts, opposing "imperialism," and ad hering to tho silver ratio of 10 to 1. "And along theso lines we offer you our aid," said Mr. Tarvin. Thero was a defiant accent upon tho word "these" that Beemed to Imply that the support of the blmetallists could bo secured along no other lines than those mark ed out, but of this tho committee took no notice. The bimetallic league was courteously thanked for Its proffof ot assistance and assured that It would be called upon at such times as the national committee felt In need of Its assistance. Thot was tho beginning and end of the silver episode. Tho fight against P. J. Devlin, editor of the press bureau of tho national committee, was brought to a finish, tho Harrison faction of Illinois securing his deposition for tho part taken by him as an officer of tho national com mltteo in the last mayoralty election in Chicago, he supporting Altgold against Harrison. Tho fight between the Illinois fac tions began as soon as Mr. Bryan ar rived in the city, which was S o'clock in the morning. Ho was Immediately beset by men of both ships tlm Ait. gold faction asking htm to bo at tho meeting wunoui rail, ana the Harrison men asking that he remain away from the Auditorium altogether. Mr. Bryan was in a dilemma, and for a long time would not declare himself. He said that he had accepted the Invitation for the meeting, and that thero was no apparent reason why ho should de cline at tho last moment at the de mand Of a DOlitlcal faction hnctlln tn that which had Invited him to the city. At the same time he expressed himself as being anxious to avoid anything that would create further friction, and as a remedy proposed that the Alt gold people turn over tho control of the meetint: to the national rnmmlttnn Mr. Altgold waB uersonallv willini?. hut the largo majority of the members of the national commlltpn rtncinmri them selves as beiuir onnosRri tn imvlno n no thing to do with tho meeting In any wuy. Finally Mr. Altcold sent wnrH tn Mr Bryan that If he conaldn mil that hln attendance at tho meeting would cm- uiu.iiBB mm ne couia leol at perfect liberty to romal II JlWflV. Tho m pnf. ing could get along without him. This message was aeciared by the Altgold people to be one of simple courtesy to Mr. Bryan, but the Harrison mon Hn. clared that It was a message of aar CfciHiu, wnicn meant mat U Mr, Bryan was afraid to keen hln wnni tn ad dress the meeting it would be a Bucceaa Without his presence.
