The Aberdeen Democrat. (Aberdeen, South Dakota) 1???-1909, 1908-07-03

Denver, Colo, July g.. Charging
that Alton B. Parker's resolution Of
tribute to the memory Of the late
President Grover Cleveland is a clev-
ser move on the part of the enemies
of Bryan to infuse factional feel
ing into the democratic national con-
vention, friends of the Nebraskan
yesterday determined to offer a res
olution of a character designed not
to raise controverted political issues.
Through the control of the tempor-
ary organization Of the convention
the Bryan following expects to have
it's resolution brought to the atten-
tion Of delegates soon after the
speech of the temporary chairman.
In that event the Parker resolution
would have to be offered as SUBJ
stitute, if submitted at all, and the
Bryan men declare that the New
York delegation would thereby be
placed in an attitude of attempting,
under guise of eulogizing a great
party leader, to create strife and dis
satisfaction and to make harmony i'm
possible. All democrats without re-
gard to factional Affiliations applaud
the suggestion coming from New
York that the national convention
should embrace the first opportunity
of honoring the memory Of Me. Gle
veland, but most Of those who have
expressed themselves on the subject
are Of the opinion that the resolu-
tions adopted should not contain
anything over which there could be
the slightest difference Of opinion.
The New York resolution which was
made public Tuesday night, is de-
nounced by such Bryan leaders as
Mayor Dahlman of Omaha, and Judge
Wade Of Iowa, member of the nation
al committee from that state. They
declare that its adoption would be q
direct slap at Bryan and insist that
in giving it out for publication, the
New York delegation intended to dis
parage the Nebraska candidate. The
portions Of the resolution which par
ticularly arouse the ire of friends OF
Mr.. Bryan relate to Mr.. Cleyeland's g
record on questions Of maintaining
the integrity Of the courts and fin
ance, the paragraphs being as fol-
lows:
He respected the integrity OF our
courts and so insisted upon strict
enforcement Of law that every honest
man or interest might be protected
and all offenders punished, without
fear or favor.
.iiHe maintained the public credit
In honor, stood firm in defense OF
sound principles Of finance, and re-
sisted dangerous economic doctrines
and practices left by the republican
party as heritage Of our people"
1t was said yesterday by Mayor
Dahlman that these expressions are
but thin1y veiled attacks upon mt.
Bryan and his well known attitude
on the question of the anti-injunac- nc
tion plank, and his position In 1896
and 1900 on money. These quaes- qa
tions have no proper place" said ~ MT.
Dahlman, in the resolutions intend
led only to honor the name OF the le
late Mr.. Cleveland. Mr.. Bryan's per-
sonal tribute to the memory 81 rhe
late ex-presid ent was one OF charact-
er proving that no man honored NE.
i Cleveland more, nor would go flrt tner
in giving him credit for advancing
the interests Of the democratic par
! ty. It is true that Mr.. Bryan anu lls'
Mr.. Cleveland had different views on
many questions of party policy ana
L with rare tact which he always eA- s'
hibits, Mr.. Bryan refrainad from any
illusions that might provoke strlle
1 In the party. It Ii my opinion tnat a'
the democratic national convention
IN adjourning out Of respect g Mr. 3.
cleveland's memory should folloW
Mr.. Bryan's example. ''
The publication OF the Parker Y: re g
solution was bombshell IN the
