Chattanooga, g'enn., April 11.—In Ids speech at the banquet In Ills honor here last night, .Mr. Bryan devoted. Ills opening remarks to a reply to tho sug gestion of John Temple Graves tlmt lie nonijnnle Roosevelt for the presidency In the next national Democratic con vention. He satd in part: "Fellow Democrats: I know you will pardon me If. before I begin to speak- Democrats,^1 think, to you. I unload a little. (Laughter.) When I hear tile very good things that are said by my enthusiastic friends, when 1 hear the compliments which, sincere as they are, I know are not de served, 1 can feel embarrassed and yet grateful for the generosity that leads these gentlemen to overstate my merit. But I can be like Hie homely girl whose sweetheart told her that sue was beau tiful. She retired to her closet and nft- 8r looking at herself In the mirror said, ' 1 thank God love is blind.' "A man in public life gets so much more abuse that he doesn't deserve that It Is only fair that he should get more praise than he deserves: It helps to re tain the parity. Although I think In my case that the ratio Is apparent that I have received more praise than have abuse. "Thla club is the' only club of the kind In the United States: and, I may say, the world (laughter), for. If there la no other club In this country that celebrates my birthday, 1 am satisfied that there la not going to be anothtr outside the country that does It. "I am glad to come here, because I appreciate the honor that is Implied 111 the organization of lids club, und I ap preciate more than words can express the personal affection, the personal de votion. the personal los'alty that has been shown me by the members of this club. I am glad that I can be with you on this occasion. Felt 8omewhat Embarrassed. "I am embarrassed somewhat by the speech that has been made by my good friend from Georgia (Mr. Graves); em barrassed for two reasons. In the first place, he states what he thinks I ought to do; and, In the second place, In re fusing to follow his suggestions, 1 may lay myself open to the criticism that I am regarding my own ambition rath er than the welfare of the party or the country. I appreciate his honesty: I appreciate his sincerity, and no one more than I appreciates his willingness to follow his own conscience and say what he thought ought to be said with- out the expectation of Its being ac cepted by you. I say I can appreciate this fact. I have mvself had sometimes to do things that I thought ought to be done when I was not by any means ill a majority In doing It. "Down at St. Louis, two years ago. last summer, I had to do things that I knew I had very little support In doing; but 1 did them because I thought I ought to do them, and as I have fol lowed my conscience with respect to those who follow their conscience. Believes In Frss Speech. "It Is true tlmt when 1 learned he had retired from the hall because he thought there was objection to his speech be ing made, I asked that I)* be brought back and Invited to speak, for I believe the Jeffersonian doctrine of free speech. If there Is any place where speech ought to be free, It is at a Democratic meeting. (Applause.) "It the suggestions he has made are w-lso suggestions, we could not meet them by refusing to listen to him. If the suggestions he has made are un wise suggestions. It would do no harm to have them made to Democrats. These an be trusted take the suggestions and judge them their merits." Then turning directly to the subject of .Mr. Graves' recommendation, -Mr. Bryan said: “As St present advised, I shall not present the name of Theodors Roone- vslt to the national Democratic con vention. BEAR IN MIND, I SAY.‘AS AT PRESENT-AOVISED.'” Air. Bryan continued that if after ma lure consideration nml reflection.' < the presentation of the arguments the case, he should be convinced that Ills duty lay In that direction, he would present Mr. Roosevelt's name If II should prove the last act of his life. He then went on to say that If any Republican was to be selected by the Democrats to head their national tick et. the man should be Senator La Follette, of Wisconsin. Mr..Brian then proceeded with bis apeech, presenting reasons why. In Ills opinion. Mr. Roose velt was not the proper man for the presidency. Growth of. Democracy. Mr. Bryan took up the growth of the Democratic principle and traced spread throughout the world and gava Illustrations of its recent developments In Europe and Asia. He concluded bi detailing the growth of Democrat!, Ideas in the United States, dwelling especially upon this, he said, "During the last fourteen years the movement to secure the election of United States senators by the people, a thoroughly Democratic idea, the reform has gained such strength that It haa been Indorsed five times In the national house of rep resentatives and by nearly two-thirds of the states of the Union, as well as by two Democratic national conventions. Tariff reform, another Democratic doc trine, has been growing not only among the manufacturers of New England, until the mutterlngs of discontent are heard throughout the Union because the Impotence of tho Republican pat to deal with the question. Railroad regulation. Indorsed In three national Democratic platforms, has st last be come a burning question and Is dlvld- Ing the Republican party. The Income tax. so long denounced as Socialistic and demagogy, has found a champion In a Republican president and swollen fortunes accumulated under the prlvi leges and favoritism granted by Re publican congresses are at last exciting general alarm. The Democratic party in defeat has proven stronger than tho Republican party In victory, and al though out of power, has coerced those In power to seek popularity In measures notoriously Democratic. The growth of these reform Ideas Is dwindling tils Republican party nnd we can now speak of this division with freedom be cause the dllferences can not be ha,r monlxed. The convulsions caused these reforms are Inevitable. Until these reform forces triumph In the Re bllcan party as they have trlumphci the Democratic party gentlemen may cry, • 'Peace, peace.' but there Is no peace.” JUDGE STICKS TO LAW IN CHARGE TO JUR\ Light.

It takes the highest conceiva ble courage to deliver such a speech on euch an occasion, and I respect him for his bravery." Senator Carmack’s Praist. Then Senator Carmack conserva tively took Issue with Mr. Graves In his position. He also shook hands warmly with Mr. Graves. He said: “You did a brave, big thing tonight!

He said that he had done a democratic thing In apeeklng out a conviction bravely In a party council He respected him for his great courage, and said that tin had set him thinking along new lines. While he could not now see his way “as at present advised" to nominate Rooaeveit, he nld that If he should become convinced that Ida duty lay In that direction he would present Mr. Roosevelt's name If It should prove the last act of his life.

"I satv two shots flred. I got up behind Thaw and- took the gun from his hands. Tdld not examine the gun. but turned It over lo a policeman. With Mr. Paxton I went to Thaw nnd he said: ‘I want to get away from here without creating any panic.' When I asked why he did the shooting, he said: •He ruined my wife.'" Thaw Makes Comment. Warner Paxton's testimony was then read. At this point Horry Thaw hand- ed thla to the reporters: “I wish they had sixty-four othtr original letters from the deceased." Paxton said he had been talking with Stanford White for ten minutes before ho saw Thaw standing on the opposite side of the hail. I walked away, leaving Mr. White resting hlw head on Ills hand, which was resting on tht table. I had gone but a few feet—maybe 50—when I heard a shot. I looked and saw Thaw holding a revolver tuward Mr. White. Before I could reach him I heard an other shot and then another. Thaw then walked slowly from the table, looking straight ahead." 8hsrt Recess Taken. "Before I got to him, ht was taken In charge by Bruldl and another man. The men were taking him toward the elevator. As I came up I heard his wife say to him, 'Oh, see what you pave done!' " 'That Is all right, dearie,’ he an swered, 'I have probably saved your life.'" The testimony of J. C. Smith, a brother-in-law of Stanford White, who talked with Thaw before the ehootlng, was read. . Several of the jurors showed the ef fects of their all-night debate. After Smith’s testimony had been Watch for the “Tiny Tads” read a short recess ■was taken. How tne Defense Argues. "We should like to hear all of Bar rett's examination," said Foreman Smith, after the recess was over. "There Is more of hla testimony. We want that part of Iris testimony where there Is a mention of voices." . . "Doorman Thomas F. Lynch's testi mony refers to Thaw's hearing r,f voices." said the court. Juror Steele had called the attention of the foreman to the fact there u is more of Barrett's story. The defers.- argued that this was evident that the Juror was favorable to the defense and had probably made his tight for Thasv on (he testimony he had asked to hnv* read. "The testimony la favorable to the defense," said one of the lawyers, “nr 1 we ftel that It Is safe to say that No. :• will not vote to convict, for he believes Thaw was Insane at the time uf the shooting." Jurors art Sleepy. After listening to the reading of the testimony for an hour and a half. Juror Dennee yawned long, and nfler a while Juror Harney, who sat In front of him. dosed his eyes and rested his head -n his hands.
