that II he inserted In the conventlons Of
Hcial platform:
Il has boon demonstrated to the satlssac-
tlon Of every patriotic. intelligent and fap
minded American that william j. Bryan
was defeated for the Presidency when he
was the candidate OF the Democratic party
by the corrupt use Of an enormous slush
fund. agRerRating millions Of dollars. rom
tributed by great corporations and by those
interested In special industries enjoying
special privilege under the law. The charges
made by Democratic leaders and the Demo
cratic press thai this was true which charges
we're at the time indignantly denied with a
great show OF virtue. are now substantially
proven to be true.
We declare that Il ls alike due TO Mr.. Bryan
himself and to the integrity Of our institu-
tons that he should be elected TO the high
ONCE OF Chief Magistrate NJ the nation az
the election to be held in 1908. of which posi-
ton he was deprived by methods calculated
to discredit aud put to shame the entire
American electorate. and We pledge TO him
our support and aid. that his nomination and
election be attained. We unhesltattnRiy de-
claro that a fair and honest election. freq from
coercion or tho corrupt use of money. at
which the American people may be given
what IN their right TO have, an untrammelled
opportunity TO express their sovereign VIII
at the ballot box. Is an important issue In
American politics to-day.
Senator Grady, IL was added. is to intro
duce the foregoing resolution favorable TO
Mr.. Bryan at the personal requisite OF Richard
Croker. the Tammany ohieftain, who never
in his career as leader OF his organization
for sixteen years sought 10 indorse for
Governor the candidate Of a guerrilla con-
veution.
UPSTATE SATISFIED WITH sULzEE
While. as already said. in the struggle
for supremacy of the State committee little
or no serious consideration has been given
TO G~ubernntorial candidates to-day, the
fact remains that most Of the bona fide
delegates from upstate counties. other
than Erie. have spoken up TO Mr.. Murphy
to-day and said that they would be perfectly
satisfied with Representative Sulzer. These
Democrats in their remarks about Mr..
Sulzer to Mr.. Murphy have almost brought
a blush to the prototype Of Henry Clay.
They have told Mr.. Murphy that no Demo-
crat and no Republican could successfully
attack Mr.. Sulzer. In their comments OF
Mr.. Sulzer they have also said that Mr..
Sul1er could perhaps unity the Democratic
factions Of the State more than any Demo-
crat hitherto mentioned-Mr. Hearst. JUS
tioe Gaynor. District Attorney Jerome, or
Mayor Adam. Mr.. Sulzer, these eulogists
asserted, had been the friend OF Tlden.
John Kelly, Grover Cleveland, Richard
Croker and William j. Bryan, and had been
a substantial. consistent and even ardent
friend Of what are known as labor organiZa-
tons. and that no Democratic leader. local
or other wise, in the State had a sin gle
ranking thought in his heart against Mr..
Sulzer. These supporters of Mr.. SulZer
proclaimed him to be a good campaigner.
TAMMANY DELEGATION NOT FOR HEARST.
A. y. Dulin, formerly a Hearst man. said
this afternoon:
The pretence and claims made by the
Hearst element that Mr.. Murphy will con-
troll a majority Of the dele gates from Man
haitian and The Bronx are founded upon
misinformation. While there are twenty
district leaders who favor the retention OF
Mr.. Murphy as the leader Of Tammany
Hall, eleven Of these twenty, and the dele
gates representing their districts, are op-
posed to the nomination OF Mr.. Hearst.
This does not nclud seven districts con-
trolled by Timothy d. Sullivan and Timothy
p. Sullivan. Every one Of the Sullivan
districts Owenty-one delegates) is for
Sul0er first, last and all of the time: OF
the eleven leaders before mentioned elk
have already declared for Sul1er, and the
remaining Ave are for the best candidate.
barring Hearst.
@The nineteen delegates from the Gene
soc Valley are absolutely for Congressman
Sulzer, and sixty delegates in various
counties up the State nave declared their
intention of voting for Sulzer. This should
give Mr.. Sulzer on the irst ballot at least
100 votes, irrespective Of what Kings and
Queens counties nay do
JEROME THE IDEAL CANDIDATE.
The ideal candidate. Of course, in the
Judgment Of those who want TO win, is
District Attorney Jerome. He b the man
who represents in his intellect and character
the stern opposition OF the people to the
jerome represents the desire OF the people
to elevate high minded men to Office. to
whom they can look up, men worthy of the
support Of the fine people Of the State,
no matter how high or humble. Mayor
Adam is considered TO be the very highest
type Of a Democrat, but being IS years old,
Buifalo's chief executive may not have
the ginger and the sand for the fight which
is to restore the government of the State to
the people and TO wrest it from the pudgy
and befouled fist Of the political boss.
SLUMP IN AVN BOON
There was a distinct slump in the Gaynor
boom tonight. senator McCarren was
still true to Justice Gaynor, but many
Democrats said they had a number Of
rsasOiis WHy they wouldn't care 60 have
Justice Gaynor nominated for Governor.
Senator MCLarren said that he had no
second choice and that the entire Kings
county delegation was for Justice GaynOr.
Notwithstanding Senator McCaTren's re-
mark il was ascertained that Democrats
in the Kings county organization, thor
oughly loyal TO Senator McCarren "a their
leader, believe that II for any reason
Justice Gaynor ia out Of the race the en-
tire delegation should go over in a body
TO Representative Sulzer. 1t must he
therefore recorded that after the long
day and the long night Of scrimma ges,
scraps and struggles the Sulzer boom
has received a new supply Of gas.
A body of Municipal Leaguers from New
York. Kings and Richmond counties had
a number OF informal sessions to-day.
All told, fifty Of the leaguers were present
and they decided TO nominate Joseph
Cody Of New York for Governor. Cody
was nominated for Sheriff by the Hearst
people in New York county last fall. The
Municipal Leaguers are in evolt against
Mr.. Hearst and have split away from his
Independence Leaguers on the ground
that Mr.. Hearst has demonstrated that
he can be quite as arrogant a political
boss as those now under the ban.
GERMANS o TO HEARST.
Herman Ridder came to town to-day
and said that he and the German citizens
with whom he had talked were very much
opposed to Mr.. Hearst, either as the can
didate for Governor OF the Independence
League or a. the accepted candidate OF
the Democratic State convention. Mr..
bidder said furthermore that political or
