cheers at every mention at the Demo

ID. j. Campau has stepped down and

the Democracy in the state. William

apparently the rising star. II Is
claimed that a majority OF the %
delegates-at-iarge and district dele
gates TO the national convention are
for him.
These are the big facts that remain
after one OF the noisiest and most bit
ter conventions held In the last two
decades.
The great incident OF the whole con-
vention was the withdrawal OF ID. j..
Campau after hours of fighting. but
before the question OF seating his
Wayne delegation had really come be-
fore the convention for a vote.
After the state central committee
and the credentials committee OF the
convention had. In turn. heard the
claims Of the contesting Connolly and
Campau delegations from Wayne
county and decided adversely to Cam
pau, the matter came up on the floor
OF the convention.
Connolly's Strong Appeal.
Judge Connolly first rose In his
place In one Of the boxes OF the opera
house and presented his side OF the
case. He told the Democrats that
Wayne county has given every Demo

the previous question. Burt had been

Campau at noon.
eampsu WIthdraws Contest.
At this moment Campau came for
ward and asked hearing. He was
given IL amid cheering.
Il have battled In this state for one
sole purpose" he declared That

Jennings Bryan"
Announcing that he felt sure that
result was accomplished. he withdrew
the contest as TO Wayne county's dele
gates. A great cheer greeted this
statement.
There was another bitter fight over
the Kent county delegation. the claim
beng made that a different ruIe was
icing made for one county from
another In that the Wayne county
regulars alone were seated. while both
Kent delegations came In. splitting the
votes
