hr. jacobs replied that there had not
been, but 1t was because everybody had
agreed to it in advance.
John Kelly, of New York, advocated
'irady's amendment. There we're, he
sud, slxty-two counties in the State Of
NV York, of which but ten or twelve
were Democratic, according tn the argu-
ment of MIR. Fellows. The great Demo-
cratic counties of New York which would
ELECT A DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT
if an opportunity were given to them,
would be disfranchised. That was the
principle which was now presented, and
he appealed to the sense and liberality of
the convention in favor Of Mr.. Grady's
proposition.
Mr.. Fellows, of New York, again spoke
against the Grlly amen lment. There
had been, he said. an extraordinary mis-
conception of the issue involved. 1t did
not look to sitting the voice or repress NJ
the sentiment Of any delegate. The qucs
ton was whether the State of New York
had a right to say how the will of her
majority should oe indicated. She would
not permit her - separate units to speak
g. separate ways ON any question before
the convention she
RECOGNIZED THE DEMOCRATIC METHOD
of ascertain ng what her will was, but
when the will Of the majority was ascer-
tanned she had a right to prescribe Il form
in which that will should be cx expressed.
He asked Mr.. Kelly how it was that they
too had obtained the credentials which
permitted them to be here at all.
MIR, Kelly rrpl;el that Mr.. Fellows
represented N Democratic party in the
city Of New York and he (K,lly) another.
Mr.. Fellows suggested thIt they rep
resented only different orsan.z Itions in
the Demo ratic party.
Mr.. Kelly said that the gcntleman's
purpose now was to ignore Kelly and not
to allow him u vote in the conven-
ton. 1t was against that they
kelly protested. [Cheers
Mr.. Fellows procee led with his argu-
ment. All that the majority of the New
York delegates desired was to do what
their state had instructed them to do-to
express sentiment in a certain prescribed
form. The convention should not take
away that right. 1t was Il right dear to
the State of New York. If it was str ppel
Of that right she would feel degraded, dis
honured. He declared, ironically, that
Mr.. Kelly anl himself were in tenl,r
sympathy with ca h other. He confessed
that
HE HAD A BRIGHTER HOPE
set before him of better methods anil
purer forms when he iounl from the lips
Of Mr.. Kelly and Mr.. Grady such elo-
quent %denunciation of machine methods.
Laughter and applause They all UNI
derstoOa that everything which they did
in New York was the spontaneous out
cropping of popular will [llughtcrl, and
that the hanl of arbitrary power
never controlled their political methods.
In conclusion, he asked whether the Ma
tional Convention woull strip New York
of his power in this matter. (Crics Of no).
Major Burke, of Louisiana, moved to
lay the Grady amendment on the table.
After sOme parliamentary objections the
motion to lay on the table was withdrawn
and the previous question was moved and
secon led The amen lment offered by
Mr.. Menzies. of Indiana. was with.
drawn, AMI the convention proceeded to
vote on the amendment Offered by Grady,
Of New York, requiring the individual
preferences of delegates, to be recorded as
the vote of their statos. There was great
interest manifested during the taking of
the vote. The vote of the State Of New
York
WAS WITHHELD rEMpo2 NRrLY,
and when all the other states were called,
the aggregate without New York stood,
ayes, 332; noes, 39l. The vote of New
York was then called for, and Manning,
the chairman ofthe delegation, announced
- votes in the negative. That vote was
challenged by the convention, but the
temporary chairman had tue vote re-
corded as announced. The ger
eral result was then ,el
rs yeas $50. noes AS. The vote was then
taken in the original resolution offered by
Nj. Smalley, of Vermont, and it was
adopted.
