 cheers and stamping of feet in the galleries and on the floor. | Representative Flood, of Virginia, { characterized the proposition as n- solent and said it came from the
 only man who desired to destroy tho
 Democratic party"
 1 Former Governor McCorlSle, of West Virginia, called it foolish. Mr Bryan made the situation even more dra-
 matic by asking Virginia and New York to request a modification of the resolution and when they scorned the suggestion he took the course himself. From that moment sentiment changed and the voting indicated that Mir. | Bryan, as the exponent of progress, retained his hold upon Democracy Late tonight Mir. Bryan received a number of newspapermen and was asked if he had any reasons to give for withdrawing the latter part of the resolutions introduced by him, demanding the withdrawal from the convention of the persons named i'll the resolution. He said

 But the breaking of the unit rule would allow you to vote for whom soeyer you pleased. would 1t not?" Not at all, and I have refused from the beginning to express any prefer ence as between MT. Clark and MT. Wilson"
 Did you hear that New York 'n caucus today decided to support Mir. p, llson, after the first baIlot2''
