Gov. Glenn a Disappointment NJ
Denver
\ newspaper man, who was at the
Denver Convention. asked few days
since how and where Gov. eileen got
the reputation of being an orator
He said that Bryan must have been
led to believe that he was an orator,
and that many other people had
heard of his reputation from the
North Carolina papers. but that there
was no evidence of 1t at Denver when
ton. He said that Glenn's speech
was not only a great disappointment
but that the Convention soon tired
of him and howled him down.
Commenting upon this instance.
that party remarked that the waving
of arms and the making of a noise
alone would not satisfy national
convention, but that a man had to
say something TO be given attention.
Their Actions DO Not Square With
Their Professions.
Another Republican from the Ra-
leigh district, who is in town to-day,
commented upon the recent declara-
ton of Adams and Duncan that they
believed the State could be carried
Republican and that they intended to
make a great effort to do 1t, and
said, that If they were sincere in
these statements they would not be
trying to keep strong, representative
men from being nominated for Con-
gress in certain districts, and, on the
other hand, trying to put some insig
nificant postmaster, whom they lead
around by the nose, in nomination.
When this party was pressed to
state what districts he referred to,
he said his own district was the case
in point, and that he understood that
the same thing was being done in
other districts.
The Third District Also a Case i'm
Point.
Continuing, he said that he had
learned that in the recent conven-
ton in the third congressional dis
trict to elect delegates to the ma
tional convention, that Duncan went
down in person and made a strenu-
Gus fight to have the district COM
mitteeman and district chairman
elected at that convention, where
there was only a handful of dele
gates, a majority of them dominated
by the machine. He said not only
was this done, but that postmaster
Hancock, who had made the Repub-
lican party grow smaller in his coun-
ty instead of larger was forced on
the district as chairman by Duncan.
He said that no man who wanted
to elect Congressman in that district
would have forced the election of the
committee at that time nor would he
have selected Hancock for the chair
man. 1t was a machine committee
that was opposed to electing a Con-
gresham. He added further, that
any man who was fit to be elected
to Congress, or who could be elected,
| would clearly not run under such
circumstances, but would and should
| demand the right to at least select
| his own chairman.
