A Committee AJppointed to Consider Inde-
pendent Action in November.
CHICAGO, JulS Another secret conclave of
the gold men was held at the Auditorium to-
night to discuss tho events OF the day and. II
possible. detei-nins upon some plan for further
action in the Convention.
More than three hundred sound money dele
gates and lie atiers from large number OF States
were in at tendance. The discussion was ami
mated and great variety Of views were pre-
sented.
On the whole the expression of sentiment was
pretty str ongly against II bolt OF the gold men.
but the 2 n position to go home and neglect TO
vote for the nominee found stronger support.
According to the reports which filtered out
this WIS the course of the discussion.
In tfR early part OF the conference Mr.. Ev.
erett az Massachusetts and several New Eng
land representatives urged as the policy to be
pursued that the gold men should vote for Nc
Kinney and devote their efforts to electing
sou nj money Democrats to Congress from their
res pective districts.
Iynis proposition was not we'll received. Brad
ley b. Smallry. National Committeeman for
Vermont, WAS one OF those who strongly ex-
~ essed his dsfavor OF it,
Mr.. Irish OF California ad vised that the gold
men should let the contest go by default and
stay at homo on election day. Gen. f.. S. Bragg
of Wisconsin was disposed to favor this plan.
| Frederic II. Coudert OF New York said 1t
| would be wise to go home after the Convention
| without taking any action on nominations
| and report TO the State organizations. He was
| in favor of going fishing on election day. but
| did not urge this without the endorsement of
| the State organization.
| William c. Whitney then made speech in
| which he said that 1t seemed impossible to fol-
| low the course marked ont by the silver
| men. He believed that 1t would be advisable to
TAX q further part in the proceedings after the
adoption Of the platform and to report TO the
| Democratic State Convention for further con-
sideration of the attitude to be taken by the
| sound money Democracy. Some of those present
| advocated the nomination OF third ticket. but
| they were evidently in a small minority.
| Ex-Gov. Russell OF Massachusetts made a
| speech expressing strong dissatisfaction with
| the situation and looking toward a bolt OF the
| sound money men.
| The gold men finally. under the leadership OF
Mr.. whitney, adopted the following resolution
| That committee of one or more be appoint
ed from each State to confer with the people
| and report the temper concerning an organi-
| zaton of the sound money old Democracy and
how far such organization should go In inde-
| pendent action for the election next November"

delegation was held immeda tely after the ad-
journment of the gold conference tonight.
Gov. Flower, in calling 1t to order, said that
in view OF the indignity offered to Senator Hill
by the silver majority in the Convention he de-
sired to have an expression OF opinion as to
whether or not the delegatiHl should remain In
the Convention or leave it npon their adoption
Of a free-coinage platform.
1t was not proposed to ctGne to any decision
ney. William F. Harrity md other gold lead
ers were at that moment in conference else

Tammany members under the lead of County
Clerk Purroy and Cong ressman Sulzer. Mr..
CORN an OF osweso also opposed it.
Frederic r. Coudert Md that he wanted to
bolt, but he was willing TO stay In the Conven-
tion IL the delegation decided, inasmuch rs
he felt bound by the urst rule.
Tho Hon. Perry belmont advised a bolt, and
said that II the delegfdion decided otherwise he
should seriously consid er the question Of an in
dividual bolt. as he ccaild not associate himself
with such tendencies as were represented by
men like Altged and Tfllman.

caly. lie said to-Lght, just before going into
the Committee Resolutions TO fight for

"Our silver friends have thought IT wise to
reject me for temporary Chairman. and as a
Democrat have always bowed to the rule of
the majority. ] still think that the precedents
and traditions OF the party have been over
turned, but | am certainly not responsible
for that. I have known from the beginning
that would be rejected as temporary Chair
man. When 1t was fr't suggested to me by the
Democratic National Committee that should
be their candidate foG temporary Chairman.
believed that the silver men would not wish me
to preside over the preliminary work of the
Convention. My judgment was right, but l
have nothing to regret in standing as the can
didate of the National Committee.
1t is q very dangerous step when old tradi-
tions and precedents are obliterated. Nobody
can foretell how far steps OF that character
might 20 in future Conventions. II is always
well to stand by the faith of the old Democratic
party and not be carried away by innovations"

is the boom of johnny" Mclean. editor and
proprietor OF the Cincinnati Enquirer and
President OF the Washington Gas Company.
Mr.. Mclean 1s ostensibly u free-ailver candi-

money delegates. His relations with William
c. Whitney are cordial, and he is the only can
didate among all those mentioned who possesses
large wealth, which is sometimes all desirable
in political Convention and after 1t.
The Ohio delegation, II must be said. Is not
supporting Mclean solidly. A few of the dele
gates crept from beneath his protecting wing to-
day. but, as q rule. they with him and ready
to support him to the last, because of the aome-
what peculiar conditions surrounding his cam
didacy. The opinion is widespread that Mr.. Nc
Lean may become the favored candidate of tho
sound money delegates, who, knowing that 1t
is absolutely impossible for them to nominate
an snti-silver candidate, may throw their 900
or moro votes solidly for the man who comes TO
the Convention with the backing of the free
silver delegation from Ohio.
Mr.. Mclean still persists in rejecting all sug-
gestions to his acceptance Of the Vice
Presidential nomination. and says he would not
take it under any circumstances. He Is after
