TT NAY BE LIVELY.
Committee Decides to
Proceed in the Ordinary
Manner,

Chicago, H., July 2.-The executive
committee Of the national Democratic
committee have decided to recommend
to the full committee that they proceed
in the usual way to designate man
for temporary chairman Of the national
convention.
1t is not yet determined whether the
executive committee will assume the re-
sponsibility OF naming the man for this
place and that matter is still under con-
sideration.
The decision to recommend this course
has been arrived at not IN defiance of
the request of the silver men, but, it is
claimed, because it is in accordance with
the presidents in the party. Still there
are evidences that the members of the
committee resent the demand of the sill
verites as without warrant, and it is
believed that they have reached the
point where they prefer to take the
chances of an open fight in the convention
to submitting tamely to what they look
upon as an unjustifed effort at dicta-
ton. There is no doubt that if the
full national committee accepts the rec
ommendation it will result in the precipi-
tation Of lively skirmish on the floor

ALTGELD AND STONE.
Arrange a Plan of Action Against
the Democratic National
Committee.

Chicago, ILL.,, July IA conference be-
tween Gov. Altgeld, Gov. Stone and sew
eral other leading Democrats was held
at the Sherman house today. The meet
ing was for the purpose of outlining
plan of action to be carried out with the
national committee in regard to the tenn
porary organization of the convention.
THE two governors breakfasted together
and at once they left the dining room they
met with other prominent free silver Dem
ocrats and remained in session the greater
part of the forenoon. The door to the
room was closely guarded and the guard
said he had been instructed not to admit
anyone and not even to take in cards
should any be presented.
There has been some talk that Gov.
Altgeld may be chosen for permanent
chairman. but the governors friends de-
clare that he is not a candidate for the
honor and Will not accept it.

THE TWO-THIRDs RULE.
If They Have Enough Votes to Contro
Silver Men will Not Change 1t.

IF They Have Enough Votes to Control
Silver Men will Not Change 1t.
Chicago, ILL.,, July LIT is not yet GER
tain whether there will be general dis
position in the convention to follow the
lead made by the Illinois delegation IN
declaring for the abrogation of the two
thirds rule. The action of the Illinois
people in the matter has had the effect
of awakening interest in this subject.
There is unquestionably a strong faction
favorable to the course outlined by the
Illinoisans, who contend, as did Gov.
Altgeld, that the rule is undemOcratic
and who would like to see it cancelled
upon general principles. If, however, it
is abrogated, the action will be due to
the difficulty Of securing the necessary
tWO-thirdS to nominate with the rule still
in existence.
1t is contended by many that by the
time the nominating stage of the con-
vention is reached the silver men will
be able to command fully two-thirds Of
the voting strength of the convention
and they argue that if this should Prove
for changing the rules. If made at all,
however, the change will have to be
made before this period in the proceed
ing and it is suggested that it may come
at~the opening of the convention on a
motion to adopt the rules of the previous
convention for the guidance of the tenn
porary organization and until the COM
mittee on rules can have an opportunity
to pass upon the subject. This is one
of the questions which the silver commit
tee will probably consider and until its
verdict is registered, no programme Will
be made

RESENT INTERFERENCE.
Silver Men Say Whitney Has No Right to
Interfere.


Chicago, H., July 2.-Some of the sill
yer men manifest a disposition to reseGt
the announced intention of the gold ad-
vocates who are not delegates to the con-
yention to come to Chicago with the
doomed intention of influencing the
course of proceedings This feeling was
voiced by Standardized Money Of Mis-
sissippi, who said: ut is an unheard-
of proceeding for men like Mr.. Whitney
and Mr. Eckels, who have no credentials
to a national convention, to attend it
with the view of influencing the action
Of delegates on question of principle.
1t is of course usual for the friends of
candidates to exert their influence upon
delegates who believe as they do, but
for men to come here as these men do to
change the views of delegates who are
instructed on line of policy is either
& piece of arrogance or a piece of folly,
just as you choose to regard it. | say
to them that either one of the two con-
structions is to be put upon their con-
duct. They either propose to buy men
outright or they want to otherwise in
fuence delegates to break faith with
their constituents. Either policy will be
resented and | predict that the gold adj
vocates who come to the convention
without excuse other than exerting their
influence on duly-elected delegates will
meet with a very cool reception. The
convention will be silver from the core
and the gold influence cannot be used
to change it's character.

of the convention on the threshold of it's
proceedings.
The silver men are quite determined
On this point and will show no disposition
to yield unless pronounced and we'll
known silver man should be named by
the national committee, which there is
no reason to believe Will be the case.
If a gold man is selected the silver mi
nority of the committee will bring in
report recommending q silver man and
the first contest between the gold and the
silver forces will be fought out then and
there.
1t has been intimated that in case af-
fairs reach this stage, Chairman Harrity
of the national committee will refuse to
order a roll-call and will arbitrarily seat
the gold candidate. Mr.. Harrlty,s
friends say. however that he will pur-
sue no course that is not in accord with
precedents and with his ideas of fairness
to ALL The silver men refuse to believe
that he would pursue such course, but
shake their heads ominously when asked
what would result in case he should:
The gold men on the national commit
te" are not united upon a man Tor pre-
siding officer. but they discuss names
more freely than do the silverites, men
tioning those of Senators Hill, Villas and
of Hugh Wallace, member OF the nation
al committee from the state of Washing
ton and son-in-law of Chief Justice Full
Ter of the United States supreme court.
There is liable to be division among
the gold forces of the committee with
the administration gold men constituting
one faction and the administration
gold men the other faction. Senator
Hill stands for the latter wing and Sen
ator Villas and NJ. Wallace for the
former. 1t is claimed that Senator Villas
is not anxious for the place and there is
a tendency of the administration. men
to unite upon Mr.. Wallace. 1t is be-
lieved that he would be willing to accept
the honor of the nomination. taking his
chances in the convention in contest
with the silver nominee.
The administration men are largely
superior in numbers to the gold men and
it is claimed even have majority Of the
committee against both the silver men
and the anti-administration gold men.
There is, however. a belief among mem
bers of the committee that Senator Hill
might prove acceptable to the silver peo-
pie and in case they should signify
Willingness to accept him he might be
named as compromise candidate, by
the committee.
