POSITION KNOWN BAILEY DENIES A S i DRY PRINTED IN NEW YORK TFLLSWHITE’S ELECTION The Eminent Trxan Discusses the Chicago Platform. Washington, Jan. 25--One of the silliest of all stories that have been written about the election of Senator White as chairman of the democratic congressional com.nit tee and the contest which resulted in his election «as one in a Nev York paper which said that it was Croker's hand that sbaptd the elec tion and that Bailey was acting in' conjunction with him. The same stoiy dec'ared tha Senator White was not a silver man. a palpable misstatement of a well-known fact, and capped the climax I y declaring that Bailey was net in favor of the Chicago platform. Today the story was called to Mr. Bailey’s attention.Tn commenting on it he said: “ r The story is absurd on the face of it, because it ddclares that I have always been opposed to the Chicago platform, while as a mat ter of fact, I was one of the first, if not the very first man in this country to give an unqualified in dorsement to that document and to declare that it was sound as a whole and sound in every part. “The man who manufactured the story must have known that it was a pure invention. lie must Lave known that so far fi >m Sen ator White’s election hav.ng been dictated by Richard Croker and his friends, that the votes-of Sen. ator Murphy, of New York, and of Senator Smith, of New Jersey, were both cast against Senator l vVhite. “The first suggestion of Senator i White as chairman of the com mittee came from Judge Maddox, of Georgia, an ardent fne silver man and an uncompromising Ir'end of the Chicago platform. The next gentleman who talked with me on the subject was Mr, Clayton, of Alabama, whomade the minority repoit from the com mittee on organization in the Chi cago convention, upon which Sen ator Daniel was made the tempo rary chairman of that body instead of Senator Hili. “This county does not need to be told that men like Maddox ano Clayton do not betray the. demo cratic organization, and it is wi th in the knowledge of everybody who has taken any trouble to in vestigate the matter, that the committee at its very first session adopted the Chicago plat form as the basis of the campaign which it was organized to conduct. “Our position is now, as it al ways has been, that we want the gold men to come back into the party, but if they come h ick at a'l, they must c ime With the dis tinct understanding that they are expected hereafter to supp >rt the nominees of the party and that we have no compromise whatever to offer them ou the platform. “With this understanding ev erybody is invited to join us, and nobody is wanted toj >in us except upon this understanding. » - TF 1 WHAT EVERYBODY KNOWS, Or ought to know, is that health and even life itself depends upon the condition of the blood.
