Matthew's Chances Still Good

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
CHICAGO, July S.-Midnight-The events
and developments of the day may thus be
summarized:
The silver programme still goes through
without break, and will continue to do
so until after the platform is adopted.
The convention spent the whole day in
turning the Michigan delegation over to
the silver column to make up the two
thirds majority.
The sound-money delegations will partici-
pate until the platform is adopted, when
New York, New Jersey. most of the New
England delegations and Wisconsin will
while holding their seats, decline to vote
on candidates. This will give rise to an in
teresting controversy as to what consti-
tutes two-thirds.
Ex-Governor Pattison has wired that he
is not a candidate, but Pennsyivanians will
give him a complimentary vote and then
consult before acting further.
The Bland boom was given a shock to-

VIII f. English Suppresses a Pes

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
CHICAGO, July s---A little personal row
of small significance but great intensity
has developed in the Indiana delegation be-
tween VIII Z. English, of indianapolis. and
Henry Colerick. of Fort Wayne. Colerick
is about as pesiferous a silver crank as
the convention contains. Ii will be remem-
bered that he insisted on catechsing Judge
McCabe and Eli Marvin before voting for
them for olaces on the committees. When
the question of voting for Hill or Daniel
came up four of Indiana's delegation. while

THE MICHIGAN OUTRAGE.
How State Was Raped by the Popu-
listfc Horde.

Special to the In annapolis Journal
CHICAGO. July S.-The Michigan out
rage" will probably go down III history
as one of the boldest and most reckless
acts ever performed by even Democratic
convention In Michigan. in Indiana
the Democrats meet in district caucuses.
which caucuses recommend to the State
convention its selections as delegates,
which the convention confirms or may re-
ject. though this implied power is never
exercised. The regular delegation, thus Sc
lected and approved by the State conven-
ton. was composed of fifteen gold men and
thirteen silverites. As the unit rult was i'm
posed by the state convention, this gave
the whole twenty-eight votes to gold After
the State convention the silverites called
four district conventions and elected eight
delegates to get up enough contests to
control the delegation. The sole basis for
the contests was this slender ground but
when the credentials committee met last
night the silverites needed this delegation
to make up its necessary two-thirds ma
jority. Therefore. after making feint at
going over the testimony. it threw out four
regular delegates and seated four silver
ties. thus giving the silver men control
and. under the unit rule. transferring the
whole tWenty-elgnt votes 10 the SILVER COL
umn. After having stolen Nebraska, the
silverites still needed twenty-eight votes
to make up their two-thirds. And that was
ample reason for the outrage.
But while this was being perpetrated in
the committee the sound-money people
were organizing for new Democratic con-
vention and Eastern delegates were consid-
ering the question of walking out. a tenn
porary panic struck the silverites when
they learned of these things this morning.
The committee was again called together.
after the convention began its days work.
The vast throng was kept waiting, listen
ing to such men as Aitgeld and Hogg. and
was finally adjourned. while the committee
reopened the case. Agair the backbone of
the silver majority was stiffened and when
the night session began the committee re-
ported. unseating just enough of the reg
ular delegation to throw the balance to the
silverites Then began ono of the most
desperate and bitter struggles ever seen on
the floor Of a political convention. Free
speech was ~ unlimited a. the free-coin-

The center of interest tomorrow will be
the debate on the platform. 1t is lengthy
document and the financial plank declar-
ing, of course, for the free coinage of sill
yer at the 16-to-1 ratio. is bungling mass
of verbiage which sounds very much like
some of the pompous and labarynthian ut
terances which Senator Jones perpetrates
on the floor of the Senate. This is the
clause of the report on which the debate
will come. The gold men will bring in a
minority report for sound money. They
will not attempt to amend any other por-
tion of the platform. Senator Till will have
charge of the time Of the gold men. while
the silver men are. as usual. squabbling
among themselves as to the leadership on
the floor during the debate.
TILLMAN IN BAD HUMOR.
The pitchfork Senator from South Caro-
lina-Mr. Tillman-is in bad humor tonight
Under the allotment of time, Mr. Tillman Is
to be given only half an hour to speak.
Mr. Hill intended to deliver two hours
speech. but 1t is now probable that he will
speak only ninety minutes. Mr.. Tiilman
is exceedingly annoyed that the New. York
Senator will have more time than he, but
his particular chagrin arises from the fact
that he must precede A1r. Hill i'm the order
of speaking. On the floor OF the Senate
Mr.. Hill has never neglected an oppor-
tunity TO hold his South Carolina colleague
up to scorn, with all the force and venom
At his command. Mr.. Tillman realizes this,
and Mr.. Hill will not spare him tomorrow.
Indeed. Mr.. Hill has practically told him

Populist party, and which you as an
organization could not get standing

we would all have been so weak from

been able to go to the polls.
Now. dear friends, don't be fools and
object to a good thing, the thing you

err man who could manage the bust
ness as successfully as he has.
Now, my friends, we must, if posi-

can only be done by electing the right
man Governor of this Stae, and that
man is Cyrus b. Watson. In electing
him we will not only get god Govern
or, but will succeed in retaining Is. r.
Lacy as Commissioner of Labor Sta
tistics. If Russell should be elected,
the probabilities are that the appoint
