BALTIMORE, July 2.--While the bal
/ loting for a presidential nominee goes
on what shall one write about? Obvi-
ously comment and comment of the
most cursory kind, ones single cave of
refuge.
Talk has largely swung and ratified
upon that BRYAN resolution, which
while pretending to be aimed disas-
trously a the interests" possessed but
the one purpose of trouble making. If
there be worth in a proverb, Bryans
ears must have burned, for few were
here to employ his name in conjunction
with a compliment When Bryan read
his resolution Sulzer, of New York, was
for answering him from the platform
His fellows on the delegation prevailed,
however, in favor Of letting the occa-
sion pass.
What | wanted to do" explained
Sulzer, was to ask Brother William j.
whether or no August Belmont gave
him 5000 in the Parker 1904 cam
paign to assist him in carrying Ne
braska for the Democrats. Also | de-
sired to inquire how many thousand
dollars August Belmont and others of
his caste Of millionaires contributed to
Bryan's political campaign of 1908"
There was other comment Sulzer
stood in no wise alone. The following
might furnish a bird s-eye view of opin-
ion as 1T ram

on Brvans part to inject himself into
the situation with the hope-a wild one
that it would end in bis becoming the
conventions nominee.
Did his resolution advance his
chances Of nomination? If he ever
had any, I should say that it knocked
them eternally on the head think
we are seeing the last of Bryan as a
dominating figure in Democratic poll
tics, and as one who wishes the party
well. I thank the gods for It,"
Dahler of Ind!ana-"The resolution

as a party will not name a pickpocket
for the presidency. Everybody must
agree to that. none the less. to offer
such a resolution was of worse an in
suit to two delegates as regularly elect

the resolution. which would give him
an excuse to bolt. Both his plans
failed"
Wouldn't Vote For Him Again
Martin, Of Iowa Il voted for Bryan
in 1900 and 1908 l wouldn't vote for
him now for the Office of dog pelter. For
six months ne has been doing all he
knew to split the party. He's doing
all he knows how. There is big
chance for a Democratic victory in
November and the thought of the
Democrats winning and some other
than himself the white house nominee
has made Bryan frantic"
A delegate from Nebraska who asks
that his name be withheld: Bryan

We know him He's always selfish
Can you name man he ever helped
Can you name a man he ever tried to
help? He is utterly selfish utterly un-
grateful. We have an ex-mayor and
an ex- governor in Nebraska who can
tell you all about It. Thus far at this
convention he has hurt nobody but
himself It will be a bright day for
the Democracy when we're rid Of him
Carroll, of Alabama: "Bryan's ac-
