OF instructng the New York delegates-at-large for
Mr.. Bryan.
John Kelly. Of Franklin County said the Dem
ocrats of his county believed that Bryan was the
greatest vote getter on ethical and sentimental
grounds in the country
If you turn Bryan down, what are YOU going
to do with his doctrines. which are being written
into the federal statutes?" asked Mr.. Kelly
"Roosevelts popularity is due to his appropria-
uon Of Bryans doctrines. Roosevelt got into
Bryans bed and crowded the Nebraskan out"
said Mr.. Kelly
Controller Metz said that the Brva7 men mus
tered only so out of $50 votes The majority
should rule
We want to go to Denver without a division in
the delegation" said he. "and after the candidate
IS nominated whether he is Bryan or some one
else. come home and elect him but if the minority
make a fight in convention tomorrow and get
beaten the report will go over the country thar
Bryan was beaten and that New York is split be-
cause Of him"
Alderman John R Walsh talked in somewhat the
same vein. advising the Bryan men to bow to. the
Will of the majority.
Bryan has no right TO into this state and
demand instructions for himself" said the alder
man.
You are smothering the Bryan sentiment" re-
pied Air. Kelly, of Franklin. 'Srnotherinc a sen
