Mr., Bryan"
Representatives HAZEL and Cheairs
spoke in opposition to its adoption.
They said nothing disrespectful or dis
courteous about the leader OF the silver
forces OF the nation. but expressed the
opinion that II was not necessary to get
a man from outside the state to tell
Delaware how to levy and collect their
taxes. They said that the member from
New Castle county might as well invite
Cleveland CT Carlisle to come here. Mr.
| HAZEL said that he would rather hear
! Senator Gray or Senator Kenney than
any Of the men named, because they
were acquainted with the states sys-
TENS and it's needs in the way of re
form. Representative Dempsey spoke
In favor Of getting Bryan here If pos
sible
After the discussion was over the
vote was taken. The yeas and nays were
not called and consequently the mem
bers were not put on record, but the
resolution was killed by viva voce vote
of about five to two. many OF the mem
bors being absent, and several present
refraining from voting. IL is said that
the friends of the resolution will en-
of tho vote to-day and force the resolu-
tion through as they consider the ac-
tion Of the House an insult to Mr.
Bryan.
The House, after a big fight recon
, sidered the vote by which the Bryan
invitation resolution was killed, and
adopted It.
