MAKES A PROTEST.
Mr.. Stanchneld then took the platform to
speak Of the minority report. He said;
1T seems TO bS necessary in this day and
age in q Democratic gathering for one to
proclaim his independence, and in the pres
e~ntation OF my cause l want it understood
by every delegate in this convention that
upon me there is no tag and around me there
il no collar. lApplause.l No interest
whatever that word might mean in this
day. owns or controls me, whether corpo-
rate or individual. and no person has over
my act or my conduct the slightest in
fiuence. I~Applausel
There is one tribunal to which | acknoNl-
edge allegiance. and that tribunal is the
Democratic party of the county that sent
me here, and that is the reason that am
here opposed to the nomination d Dir.
Hearst. Applause and Kisses
As long a. I have been fighting the cause
OF Democracy never in my career have l
voted a ticket other than the Democratic
I icket and | have a right 10 be- heard in "A
Democrat ic convention. | repeat the rea-
son that | am here against Mr.. Hearst il
because my county. because the Democracy
OF ChemnnR, il opposed TO having the party
over into alien hands the name and
the principles under which it has lived for
a century Of Age rican history" lApplaure.
Mr.. Stanchheld then said that evidences
was presented to tho committee that Hearst
a gents used money to fight John n. Carlisle
in WATERFOWL, that in other contests none
and outra geous methods were used, that IN
Queens Bermel won 10y 1900 majority and
yet the Cassidy delegates were seated.
Stanchfeld pointed out the turning
Of the delegates from New York c0lnty

All this and more was done by the ma
iOrity in committee at the ruthless and re-
morseless command Of Tammany Hall To
capture State committeeman aud dele
gates to this convention to nominate
Mr. Stanchneld closed with an appeal to
the delegates W sustain the minority report.
GRADY JUsTIFIES ELECTIONS.
Senator Grady. replying TO Mr.. Stanch-
field. denied separately and generally all
Of MIR. StanchteId's statements. He In
sisted that the Carlisle delegates were not
elected in Jefferson county, that
The claim that the delegates were unseated
in other districts In order to capture State
committeeman was absurd. As for the
Queens county contest, Mr.. Grady insisted
hat Mr.. Bermel's big majority Of 5000
due entirely TO intimidation by the
police against Mr.. Cassidy's voters. Mr..
Grady, in fact, sah he was proud Of the
majority report and he closed with an
appeal to the convention ItO stand by |
