STANCHFIELD FLAYS.. e
WILLIAM J.EBRYAN
NEW YORKER RESENTS INSULTS
TO HIS DELEGATION.
Charges Bryan With Seeking Nominal
ton for Himself and Causing
Present Deadlock.

Baltimore, July John B. Stancn-
field, of New York, furnished the SEN
sation of the early convention hours
today, when, while the twenty-se7enth
ballot was being taken, he asked PEI
EMISSION to explain his Tote ard useo
the opportunity to launch the oiteerest
attack upon W. ]. Bryan heard during
the present convention.
Stanchfeld's attack was made in an
swering what he termed the insults
offered, New York's delegates by Bry-
an in the controversy growing out of
the massage of the Ryan-Mors ln-Rel-
mont resolution. Stanchfeld's speech
was punctuated time and time again
by cheers, Kisses and catcalls.
In explaining his vote, Mr.. StaEch-
field suggested that only twice in his
tory has Democratic president been
elected without New York's electoral
vote.
SImpugned and Insu'ted."
.aThe integrity, the manhood and the
pclitical honor of every del9sate from
New York" he said, "has been I'M
nugned and insulted in this conven'
ton. I am one of those who, ia tx Ii
the dark days of 1896, following tie
fiag of Col. Bryan and spoke IN every
city and village and hamlet IN favor
OF his election. (Applause). In 1890
ran upon the Democratic t:cke,s'
with Col. Bryan, as the candidate OF
the party for governor and he poi'ed
with me upon that ticket more Vq'es
NJ nnwards of a hundred thousand
than he polled before or since.
"In the makeup of the ,gation
from New York we have here the DEM
ocratic governor and lieuts la2t gov
ernor of the State, the candidate FOR
president in 1904, an ex-justlce OF me
supreme court of New YORK, lawyers
of repute, business men, professlo'@i
men. the most representative desega-
ton that ever came to a natio 'al cor
yertion, from New York.
Stopped by Applause.
aIf this delegation was composed OF
puppets of wax, as designated by the
gentlemen from Nebraska, We say to
that money grabbing, selfish, Office
seeking, favor-hunting, publicity
hunting marplot from Nebraska, that
they are actuated-"
Mr.. stanchfeld was interrupted py
applause from the delegates and the
galleries.
..If the ninety delegates from New
York of the character that have de-
scribed are within the control and
mower of one man, they are moved by
wires of tremendous human voltage.
'.New York is vital to success and
mo man can go forth from this con-
ventioa stigmatized and branded with
Bryanism and come within half mil
lion votes of success (applause, cheers
and hisses).
Amid cries of Bryan" applause,
boots and jeers, Mr.. Stanchfeld said
no man among the 80 delegates from
New York is professionally or other
wise under the influence of Ryan, Nor
gan Or Belmont.
Leaves Himself Out.
"And when he Bryan makes the
statement that these men, Morgan and
Ryan and Belmont, are plutocrats of
this convention, he omits one name
who of all the delegates upon the floor
: of this convention has been the most
powerful of plutocrats, and he is the
gentleman from Nebraska.
eff the New York delegation is to
be prevented from voting for the NOM
inee of this convention, there ought to
be passed resolution depriving of a
seat in this convention man, who,
for pay has been writing from the Re-
publican convention in favor OF the
election of Mr. Bryan's partner and
ally, Theodore Roosevelt, and ought
to be expelled from the floor (applause
and hisses.) Col. Bryan never in
tended to support the candidate OF
this convention unless that candidate
should be Bryan himself.
Blames Bryan for Deadlock.
