A chorus OF mingled cheers aud jeers
greeted this statement.

"And I'm sure II It's worth while to
cut off the right hand to save the body,

Chairman James had the resolution
read as modified by Mr.. Bryan. It

voted. half dozen states demanded an
opportunity to Correct" their votes.
Indiana shifted II votes from the no"
to the yes" column. Several other
states endeavored to shift before the
end Of the roll call.

the states were generally shifting to
favor the resolution. The conservative
leaders went from delegation to dele
cation. working feverishly. Evidently
they passed the word that the resolu-
ton a. modified was not Objectionable.
The success Of the proposition then
was certain.

two-thirds Of the votes In the conven-
ton Was cast by Texas. That state
voted 10 solid for the resolution. This
gave the proposition 737 votes.
Seven hundred and twenty six was
