Baltimore. Md, June 2S.-william
Jennings Bryan last night led the Dem
ocratic convention into a declaration
Of progressiveness unheard OF in po-
ntical history. A resolution intro
auced by him, which was passed by
two-thlrds majority. declared the con-
vention opposed to the nomination of
any candidate for president under OBJ
hgation to ]. Plerpont Morgan. Thom-
as F. Ryan. August Belmont or any
privilege seeking class"
Convention In Furor.
The convention was thrown into a
Juror by the proposition. which as
originally introduced called for the
withdrawal of Ryan and Belmont. del
sgates from Virginia and New York
respectively.
This part Of the resolution was re-
sented as invading the rights of SOW
sreign states and when its full import
became known, boos and cat-calls.
ieers and Kisses were mingled with
handclapping. cheers and stamping OF
feet in the galleries and on the floor
Representative II. d. Flood of Virgin
IA dramatically characterized the pro-
position as lnsolent. and said it came
from "the only man who desired to
destroy the Democratic party.
Former Governor McCorkle Of West
Virginia called 1t foolish. Bryan made
the situation even more dramatic by
asking Virginia and New York to re-
guest a modification of the resolution,
and when they scorned the suggestion
he took the course himself
Bryan sprung a surprise when ne
introduced his resolution. which reads
as follows:
Resolved, that in this crisis Of our
partys career. and in our country's
history, this convention sends greet
ing to the people OF the United States,
aud assures them that the party OF
Jefferson and OF Jackson Is still the
champion of popular government and
equality before the law. AS proof
of our fidelity to the people, We here
BY pledge ourselves to oppose the
nomination OF any candidate who is

" cheered.

"Is there objection to Immediate
