and representing respectively the
gold and the silver standards. But
in the committe rooms, at the Ar
cade hotel and elsewhere the fight
continued. The committee on Gre
dentials had considerable amuse-
ment over the South Carolina con-
test. The COMMITTEES on league work,
rules and order of business had
nothing unusual The committee on
time and place selected Milwaukee
as the place for the next national
convention, and referred the selec-
ton of the date to the executive
board, with instructions to select any
date after that of the Republican
national convention. The postpone
ment of time to a date subsequent
to that of the national convention
next year was for the purpose of
avoiding any such contest on reso-
lutions as that which is now con-
fronting the delegates of the clubs
There was movement today to
conclude the work with the banquet
tomorrow night, but the agitation
during the afternoon and evening
developed such differences that it
is not likely that the convention will
close before Friday.
M'KINLEY'S DODGE.
The delegates from the West and
South want to get away Friday AS
it is known that Gov. Mckinley can
not get there till Friday morning,
there is a general desire to wait for
him till that time, and some charge
that his friends are seeking to pro-
long the session so as to have a big
Mckinley day on Friday. Others
charge that the efforts to expedite
business. so as to. conclude tomor-
row night, were intended to give the
delegates an opportunity to leave
before McKinley's arrival. The
presidential booms have been looked
after as carefully today as ever.
The Iowa delegates keep open house
for Allison, and the Hoosiers are
quietly keeping Harrison in mind,
while the New England delegates
use the Blaine tactics for Reed.
Mark A. Hanna, who is close to
Mckinley, has been keeping open
house at his mansion all the week.
Today Mr.. Hanna gave a dinner at
the Union league, at which Maj.
Osborn, a relative of Mckinley; Gov.
Nelson, ,ex-Gev. Merriam, Brown and
Clayton Powell, Moses P. Handy,
~ fF1~ Dnt nf Sol,
Clark, of Wyoming; Carter, of
Montana; Thurston, of Nebraska;
Dubois, of Idaho; Warner Miller, of
New York, and others were guests.
While Mr. Hanna always believes
Mckinley to be the man of destiny,
he says he was never SO hopeful for
the champion of protection as he is
at this convention, owing to the ex-
preSsionS for his favorite from other
states. He does not think the silver
question will embarrass the protec-.
zionist. 1t was conceded early today
that the two leading offices would
be divided between the gold and the
silver men by making Gen. McAlpin,
of New York, president, and John
Byrnes, of Denver, secretary; but
tonight it is proposed to refer the,
selection Of a secretary to the exec
utive board. It is claimed that A. B.
Humphreys was first elected by the
executive board, and afterwards re-
elected by the annual convention.
The silver men think the New York
delegation, after feeling confident
Of McAlpin's election, are seeking
to avoid having an ultra silver man
for secretary.
SILVER STRUGGLE ON.
The feature of the day has been
the silver fight before the committee
on resolutions. The committee or
ganized at 4 p M, with Congressman
j. B. Robinson, of Pennsylvania, as
chairman, and H. G. Knowles, of
Delaware, as secretary. The organ
ization was against the silverites,
but the latter were not discouraged
and opened the fight from the start.
The committee was in open session
till after o'clock, when, on motion
of Congressman Tawney, of Mime
sofa, it adjourned till p. m. for
an executive session, when sub
committee of nine was to be an
nounced by Chairman Robinson, and
time given to the silver men and
