dress and the resolution calling for the ap
pointment Of Axty-one county committee
men. said:
No Democrat in this State ever expected
to see his party adopt the policies ofthe
federalistic Capitalization OF the wings and
Republicans. such doctrines are repugnant
TO us as Democrats. Yet under the iron hand
OF the men who controlled the Carnegie Hall
convention no greater oliRarohy ever existed
In the history Of nations than that which the
Jack Cades the Claud Duvals and the Capt.
Kidds who controlled that convention have
thrust upon US They would make US slaves
with their sef-perpetuating State committee.
The sentiment Of the Democratic voters Of
the State is rampant In its opposition TO such
methods. II Is hourly rising in its indigna-
tion. II matters little what we do here, for
the Democratic voters Of the State are to rec
ufy all these braEen wrongs They are
awaiting the opportunity In which TO express
their resentment.

F. Carmody, chairman OF the Carnegie
Hall convention, and Charles n. Bulger,
chairman OF the committee on creden-
tials, and In speech which was rapturously
applauded cried:
I'VE want no quitters: we want fighters
We are all enlisted for this war We are
not boters, we are fighting within party
lines. We will demonstrate our power.
We will solidlfy the party and In next falls
convention we will see IL they will turn
out legally elected delegates and State
committeeman ...-. ,.. o.. =.

doubt OF the result. He predicted the
speedy overthrow Of the Democrats who
ran the Carnegie Hall convention.
