Yhrough control of the temporary
organization the Bryan following ex-
pecls to have Its resolution brought
to the attention Of the delegates i'm
mediately after the speech of the
ten loorary chairman has been deliv-
cred !s1n that EVENT. the Parker reso-
luti0n would have to be offered as a
substitute, If submitted at all, and
the, Bryan men declare that the New
York men would thereby be placed in
the attitude, under the guise of eulo-
gizingt a great party leader, of trying
to cr2ate strife and dissension and
make harmony impossible.
Will Honor Cleveland.
All democrats, without regard to
factionial affiliations, applaud the sug-
gestioA coming from New York that
the nA tiDnal convention should en-
brace The first opportunity of honor
Ing thel memory of Mr.. Cleveland, but
most o)f those who have expressed
themselves on the subject are of the
opinion Ithat the resolutions adopted
should hot contain anything over
which there could be the slightest
liifsffssisaFsS ainion AZ s
The New York resolution, which
was mskRde public last night, is de-
nouncedisby such Bryan leaders as
Mayor Anes 6. Dahlman Of Omaha,
and JudgsS MI ~, Wade Of Iowa, the
member bf the national committee

its adoption would be a direct slap at

It was sal lssoday by Mayor Dahlman
that these aprsssions are but thinly
yelled attacEl upon Mr.. Bryan, and
his well knttblhn attitude on the ques-
ton Of adolhng an anti-injunction
plank and position ia 1896 and
1900 on the nFhey question.
D;fpman Talks.
'These qu,f ftions have no proper
place. said Dahlman, ''in resolu-
tions intend,N only to honor the
name of the lie Mr.. Cleveland. Mr..
Bryan's perscMl tribute to the mem
