In conclusion. Mr.. Thomas asked Chair
man Harrity.1n vie " OF the statement that
mad been mace, what kind of reception
'he silver men might expect to be ac-
FOR the majority report.
Mr.. Harrityi Responded with promptncss
and some feeling. that such a reflection
upon Inc chairman as was implied in the
question was not Justified. He was only
the organ OF the committee. and 81 ol,d
erdeavor TO Discharge the duties that Were
incumbent UPON him with an absolute
| impartiaiity and strict regard for tie rights
| of the members.
Mr. ThomastdAtaimed any intention tn
reflect in the slightest degree upon the
SHEEHAN'S HOT SPEECH.
Ex-Gov sEceEaD followed Mr.. Thomas in
an impassioned speech. which evoked ap-
piause ut int&vsls from the gold men on
the committee. He said:

Hon. William c. Owens Of Kentucky. Mr..
Owens, 1t was weilkDown, was opposed to
the nomination OF tie man wEo. a develop
meDts afterwhrd proved. was the choice OF
an overwhelming majority of that con-
vention.
I'VE were successful then, as I remem-
ber, by about the same vote as thatby which
the committee today has determined to
recommend the selection of tie Senator
from New York. But as also remember,
there was on that occasion no Democrat so
disloyal to the only existing national Demo-
cratic Organization as to even suggest to
the convention that it Iepcdate the Judg-
inent and overtun the decision OF tie ma
tional committee.
ION the eve Of the gathering of the
next national convention such action as that
outiinei in the declaration OF Mr.. Thomas
Will establish most dangerous precedent,
and those who support him in the at
ttude that lie has assumed must be respon-
slble for whatever may occur for which
their acts may be taken as an example,"
Mr.. Sheerin. secretary OF the committee.
was named as temporary secretary of the
Convention. and Mr.. John /. Martin as
sergeant-at-arms.
At $40 the committee adjourned subject
tn the call OF the chairman.
