 political principles which he stands forsand expounds. Several. delegates seconded the resolution. Mir Cary taking the floor and speaking as he said as a personal friend of Mir Bryan advo- cated that nothing be done which would hurt Mir Bryan He did, not want resolution placed before the convention which would provoke a discussion and possibly lack of har- mony. He earnestly urged the com mittee to lay this resolution on the table. Mir McNeil said the resolu- tion was not intended to commit the convention as an instruction in any way. It was simply a token of the feeling that the democrats of Con- necticut have towards Mir Bryan. Mir Gay said he could not see where any objection could arise to this com pliment paid to the best known dem ocrat in all the United States. MT Beers moved that the matter he laid on the table. Senator Donovan rose to talk on the motion but the chair ruled that it was not debatable, but the senator was given the floor to make a suggestion. He called at tention to the fact that the dele gates from the democratic com mittees were the ones who wanted the resolution adopted He thought that recognition should he, paid to the democratic majorifies.
