They did not even come close. After a lot of skirmishing during the early after-, noon, during which’time one Williaito Jennings Bryan was the real leader Jill |he time, a resolution was passed, declaring that the convention Was opposed to the nomination of any candidate for president who is the representative of or under the control of J. Pierpont Morgan, August Belmont or Thomas F. Ryan. The resolution at first contained a clause demanding the withdrawal of Ryan and Belmont from the convention. The last-clause was withdrawn after delegates from Virginia and New York had said to let it go. The resolution was adopted by the vote of 889 to 196. * > Bryan spoke in support of the resolution, assailing Belmont and Ryan vigorously and charging them with being connected with the great money trust of the country and merciless, in their command of their slaves, the people. ' The resolution read as follows: "Resolved, That In this,crisis in our party’s career, and in- opr country’s history, this convention sends greeting to the people of the United States, and assures them that the party of Jefferson and Jackson 4s still the champion of popular government and. equality before the law. As prods of our fidelity to the people, we hereby declare ourselves opposed to the nomination of any candidate for president who is the representative Of, or under any obligation to J.vPierpont Morgan, Thomas F. Rynri, August Belmont, or any other member of the privelege-hunting ' and favor-seeking class.’’ Representative Flood, of Virginia, dramatically characterized the reso-’ lotion as insolent and said it came “from the only man who desired to destroy the democratic party." Farmer Governor McCorkle, of West Virginia, called the resolution foolish. I Two Indiana delegates voted against the resolution, 27 in favor of it and 1 did not vote.
