Senator Jones of Nevada Fully Presents His
Side of the Question.
MrNNEAPoLIs, June s. The silver COM
mittee of the committee on resolutions had
its first session last night. Nothing was
accomplished and no report will be ready
before tomorrow for the full committee.
The silver men consumed most OF last
nights session, and are pleased with the
attention with which their associates list
ened to the words of political and economi-
cal wisdom addressed to them. Senator
Jones OF Nevada talked for an hour, and it
is said his address was a strong presenta-
tion Of his side of the question The senR-
tor never speaks unless he is thoroughly
prepared and has carefully considered what
he will say.
On the political phase Of the question he
told his associates that the Republican
party could no longer depend upon the
and the far west Things there, ne said,
were in ferment. The third party move
ment had spread too far west and people
threatened to bolt both old parties uuIess
either of them would grant them more
liberal silver legislation, or to go with
either party which would give it TO them
A pure and simple free coinage PROPOSE
tion was put to the subcommittee ana, as
was expected, it was lost by vote of 3 to
| 2. This was the only vote taken Then
came resolution prepared by the silver
men declaring in favor of bi-metalism and
that the legislature be recognized as tue
proper authority to finally pass upon any
proposed silver measure.

TRYING TO EXTORT MONEY.
A Nephew of Samuel J. Tilden Brings Sui
Against Blackmailer.

A Nephew of Samuel J. Tilden Brings Suit
Against Blackmailer.
Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch
SYRACUSE, N. Y, juno S.-Mrs. Quick IS
defendant in suit that is TO come up be-
fore Just ce C. E. Patton of Chatham to-
morrow afternoon. She is charged with
sending through the mails threatening let
ers for the purpose of extorting money.
The complainant is George Tilden, the
nephew Of Samuel J. Tilden, and who was
one of the contestants of Tilden's will.
The story is that about seven or eight
wears ago in this city or Albany George
hTilden, then unmarried, met Mrs. Eaton,
who at the time was unmarried, and forced
an Intimate acquaintance with ner. Since
then on different occasions he has, it is
said, paid Mrs Eaton varions sums Of
money. 1t is claimed by Tilden and his
fren6s that he would never have paid the
money were it net for the fact that he was
interested in the will contest and that he
did not wish to prejudice his chances in
that case by having anything of this sort
appear. Captain Cuigley, Detective Shep-
herd and Mr.. Costello are suoppnaed by
the prosecution. They will probably be
asked to testify IS to the reputation OF
/ Mrs. Eaton and her mother. George Til
den is now married and his wife knows the
whole story.

A Cleveland Convention.

JACKSON, Miss, June S.--The Demo
cratic state convention met here today and
Notwithstanding only a few were present,
delegates were selected to the Chicago
convention. They go uninstructed, but
the convention was clearly a Cleveland
body The platform calls for reduction
of duties TO the lowest rate consistent with
the needs of an economical administration
of the government. Reciprocity was ar
raigned as q fraud invented for the benefit
of policies in the interest of the Republi-
can party. The administration of Clevo-
land was endorsed; liberal appropriation
for improvement of rivers demanded.
Delegates at large were elected.

A LULL IN THE PROCEEDINGS.
Like Micawber, They Are Waiting for Some
thing to Turn Up

MINNEAPoLIs, June 1.-THE seeker after
standing of the two prominent candidates
tonight were compelled to discard as sx
travegant and misleading the figures IS
sued from the headquarters of each, and q
careful analysis of the expressed prefer
ences Of all the delegations, together with
classification of the uncommitted dele
gates, shows that each of the candidates is
from twenty-five 10 fifty votes
SHORT OF THE NOMINATION.
Tho balance of power, il the vote was taken
today, would have been found with Alger.
1t can truthfully be asserted that the
past quarter of q century has never wit
messed convention where there was such
a rapid subsistence of enthusiasm as is
noticeable here on the eve of the
critical day which should decide the con :
test. The DELAY in reaching a ballot has
caused every faction to realize that the
citadel of the opposition is not to be carried
by assault after ali, and they now await
the result of a ballot. Those who but
twenty -four hours since
HILARIousLY PARADED THE STREETS
are now walking dejectedly to and fro and
wondering how matters are going TO end.
The loyal toot of the horn aud triumphant
! blast of the bugle and inspiring music OF
bands that buoyed their enthusiasm, have
also departed from the contest. There n
evidence Of a CONSCIOUSNESS on the part OF
the average laymen that he is something OF
puppet in this battle for political mastery,
and
THE REFLECTION is NOT GRATIFYING
to the average American elector so tina,
tonight it is not uncommon to see quietly
conversing together a couple of prlvates
who but day or two ago were arrayed in
opposition and hercely combating presi
Dental preferences AS they compare
notes each one finds the other does not
know much about the mysterious motives
and unfathomaole purposes of the gentle
men who are the ruling spirits of his par
ticular crowd.
The diplomatic triumphs Of Blaine in Sc
curing control OF the organization of the
convention and committees which play
such an important part in the labors, is the
SENSATION OF THE DAY.
No one, not even leader of the Harrison
party, appears to know exactly where the
conspiracy had. burst or how it was carried
into execution, but it has forced itself or
every man that there is a deep motive anc
that the plans of the Blaine leaders were
cautiously laid. The most is made OF the
advantage of the situation by the constan
declaration Of the Blaine managers that q.
they have control of the convention they
will be able 10 control the nomination.

was SO much silver in the presentation of
the speech.
Cogswell OF Massachusetts, chairman OF
the committee on credentials, asked for
further time and permission to sit contin-
uously. Spooner of Wisconsin was in
stantly on his feet to spar for advantage to
Harrison, having the advantage Of the
fact that Cogswell himself is an admins
tration man. Spooner asked when the con-
vention might reasonably expect the re-
port. Cogswell SAID this was a matter Of
personal opinion, but if the proceedings
were attended with reasonable success,
they could not hope for Il report before
tomorrow.

was fairly under way discussing what

TRoTTED OUT FREE SILVER
as fresh as ever. Another hot fight en-
sued and the second victory resulted for
the silver men, though as before not what
they aimed at The New York and New
England committeeman proved far too
strong to get anything like tiat-footed
declaration for unlimited coinage or any
thing similarly radical.
/ The upshot was an agreement that the
second plank should deal with the silver
! QuCSJlUu. HS do w eA4c Ach-
guage was that the declaration should be
substantially as follows:
The American people by tradition and
interest are IN favor of bi-metallic coinage
of gold and silver; one dollar should be as
good as another dollar; that silver should
be coined at a ratio to be fixed by leglsla-
ton and the forthcoming international con-
ference endorsed as probably furnishing a
satisfactory solution of the vexed financial
questions.
THE SILVER PLANK.
The following is the silver plank of the
platform TO be submitted TO the convention
tomorrow:
1.-THE American people, through interest
and tradition, are in favor of bi-metallsm,
and demand that both metals shall be used
as the standard OF money under such regu-
lations and provisions as may be estab-
lished by the legislative department of the
government; establish and maintain o
parity of metals and make each dollar,
whether of gold, silver or paper, the equal
of any other dollar. We commend tbs
wise and patriotic policy inaugurated OF
calling an international conference to es
tablish the concurrent use of gold and sill
yer throughout the commercial world"
