BALTIMORE, July 1--When Muir
ply voted 80 votes for Clark. on the
twenty-seventh ballot, w. H. Edison of
Faulkner, Chautauqua county, in the
New York delegation, arose in his
seat, and challenged the vote of the
state. This was done to force roll
call, and find out just how each dele
gate stood although it was certain that,
as the delegation was instructed in the
state convention to vote under the
unit rule, the vote would continue to
be cast for Clark. But Edison declared
he did not intend voting without hav-
ing a record as to where he stood,
John B. Stanchfield, when his name
was reached in the New York delega-
ton asked unanimous consent to ex-
plain his vote, and his request was
granted.
Il come from a state" he said,
whose electoral vote is indespens.
IDLY vital to democratic success. Only
upon two occasions in the history of the
country has a democratic president
been elected without the electoral
vote of New York. We represent ten
million people, and we cast one and
ithree-quarters millions votes. We rep
resent forty-five votes in the electoral
college. ! am speaking now in behalf
lof the empire state, which represents
one-tenth of the government of the
United States.
"A word as to the history OF the
democratic party in the state Of New
York. For the first time since the
! administration of Governor Flower
! New York has democratic COVER
Inor."
Here delegate from Michigan de-
manded that Stanchfield be compelled
to stick to the subject of his vote
New York has right to be heard" "
shouted Stanchfield. Il would like to
say to Colonel Bryan that in 1896. was
one of those who followed his flag and
1 four years later | ran on the ticket
with Colonel Bryan and he received
| 100000 more votes that year than he
received before or since.
I'VE have upon the New York dele
cation the governor of the great state
of New York, the candidate for presi-
dent in 1904, and it is by common con-
1 sent the most representative delega-
I Ition that ever came from the state of
| New York. There would be no defense
were 1t not for the imputations against
them on the floor. Now, If we are
money grabbing, publicity-seelSing mar
plot from Nebraska
Wild applause from New York, and
some of the other delegations inter.
rupted Stanchfeld
IF the ninety delegates from New
York" he continued, "of the character
/ | have described. are within the pow.
er of one man they are moved by
wires of tremendous voltage.
s Listen delegates: New York has
twenty-six democratic congressman
and on the fifteen great progressive
measures pending in the last congress-
introduced under the leadership OF
Clark and Underwood, everyone OF
the twenty-six votes from New York
have heen cast for these measures.
"Bryan says that no man can go be
| fore the country and hope to win with
the brand of New York on him. say
that no candidate can go from this
convention stigmatized with Bryanism
and come within half million votes
of election.
Mr.. Bryan has said that the ninety
delegates from New York are under
the influence of Morgan, Ryan and Bel
mont He has stated that no man
could be elected by reason of their in
J fluence. desire to say to him that
there is no man in the number who
is under the influence of the men he
has named. And of all the delegates
on the hoor, the one man, omittine
Mr. Ryan and Mr.. Belmont, most rich
and powerful is the gentleman from
Nebraska.
4 and if we are trying to clear oul
skirts here this convention shoule
expel from the floor of this convention
the man who for pay has been writing
from the republican convention at Chi
cago in favor of his (Bryan's) ally
Colonel Roosevelt.
Colonel Bryan has never intended
to vote for the candidate of this con
vention unless he was Bryan himself
4 BRYAN has supported Wilson il
