/ Denver, July 2.-Charging that AL
ton y. Parker's resolution of tribute
| to the memory of the late ex-president,
| Grover Cleveland, is a clever move on
the part of enemies of William Jen-
nings Bryan to infuse factional feeling
into the democratic national conven-
ton, friends of the Nebraskan today
determined to offer a resolution OF a
character designed not to raise contro-
verted political issues Through con-
ftrol of the temporary organization of
the convention, the Bryan following
expects to have its resolution brought
to the attention of the delegates imme-
diately after the speech OF The tetnpo-
Irary chairman has been delivered. In
that event the Parker resolution would
have 10 be offered as substitute, ffl
submitted at all, and the Bryan men
declare that the New York delegation
would thereby be placed in the atti-
tude of attempting. under the guise of
euogizng a great party leader, to
create strife and dissension and to

All democrats. without regard to
fractional affiliations. applaud the sug
gestion coming from New York that
the national convention should en-
brace the first opportunity of honoring
the memory of Mr. Cleveland. but
most of those who have expressed
themselves on the subject are of the
opinion that the resolutions adopted
should not contain anything over
which there could be The slightest diff
ference Of opinion.
The New York resolution. which was
made public last night, is denounced |
by such Bryan leaders as Mayor |
James c. Dahlman, Of omaha. and |
Judge NJ. r. Wade, of Iowa, the MEM |
Der OF the national committee from |
that state. They declare that its
adoption would be direct slap at
Bryan and insist that in giving it out
for publication the New York delega |
ton intended to disparage the Ne
braska candidate. The portions of the !
resolution which particularly aroused
the ire of the friends OF Mr.. Bryan re-
late 60 Mr.. Cleveland's record on the |
questions Of maintaining the integrity |
of the courts and on finance, the para
graphs being as follows:
"He respected the integrity of our
courts and so insisted upon strict en-
forcement OF the law that every hon
est man or interest might be protect-
ed and all offenders punished, with |
out fear or favor.
"He maintained the public credit |
and honor, stood firm as rock in de-
fense of sound principles Of finance, !
and resisted dangerous economic doc |
trines and practices left by the repub-
lican party as a heritage to our peo-
pie"
\ Bomb in Bryan Ranks.
1t was said today by Mayor Dahl |
man that these expressions are but
thiny veiled attacks upon Mr. Bryan, |
and his well-known attitude on the
question of adopting an anti-injune- /
ton plank. and his position in 1896
and 1900 on the money question.
The publication of the Parker reso-
i;itiou was a bombshell exploding in /
the midst Of the Bryan followers and I
steps were at once taken by members
of the committee on convention ar
rangemants to head off its introduce |
tion in the convention. They were
unanimously Of the opinion that II
would provoke a discussion and pos
sibly fight which they desired to
avoid Several members Of the COM
mittce. who did not care TO be publicly
quoted. did not hesitate 10 say. how
ever. that in their opinion an argu-
ment in the convention over such a
resolution as this would be disgrace |
ful and iniure the party in the eyes OF
the country
II was therefore determined to take
immediate steps to ward off any such
possibility. and at the instance OF Rog-
er C. Sullivan. Of Illinois. " was de-
cided TO prepare a resolution which, !
while honoring the memory Of Mr..
Cleveland. would offer no opportunity
for acrimonious disputes IN the con-
venti0n.
The Bryan people having possession
Of the temporary organization. decided
that the Cleveland resolution shall be
presented 20 the convention by a man
who viii be recer 1ized by Temporary
Chairman Bell Immediately after the
