SEVEN OF THE IOWA MEN GO WRONG
Vote for Hill and May Thereby Injure
the Chances of Boies

CHICAGO July TO say that the Boies
boomers are merely angry at the action Of
seven members Of the Iowa delegation in
the convention today is drawing it very
mild. The seven who had their votes
recorded for Hill today were disciplined
tonight by the remaining members of the
delegation II is said that four of the
seven are gold men, the other three being
straight is 10 l. Some Of the sound money
men who voted for Hill Acknowledged that
II was mistake and are very sorry that
the break was made. The scouts and skir-
mlshers who came in from the various dele
cations since the convention adjourned re-
port that the action of the seven nen vas
a stab under the fifth rib for Boies They
say that ID some delegations they heard il
asserted that the break in Iowa was dis
astrous TO Boies and that lit is all up with
| Uncle Horace" Notwithstanding the fac.
that the entire twenty-six votes were cast
with the silver majority the Iowa mon felt
that the effect is very disastrous and saw
that hereafter, with q silver CHAIRMAN q
poll OF the delegation will not be allowed
Some OF the Boies workers say that II ey
! have been met at Iowa headquarters with
the remark, How do you expect 10 win
when your own state is not solid for your
! candidate? II is said by the Roies men
that the action Of the Iowa delegates who
insisted upon poll Of the delegation and
voted against silver chairman was in
violation OF an agreement and that they
might as well have voted directly against
Boies. Your own men are not for MIN

cation, when visited by Il scout il the in
terest Of Boies. and how do you expect us
10 be for him or support man who Iosts
seven out Of twenty-six votes in the s.ate?'
The Boies men are particularly angry
! because Iowa was the first state that made
a kick and insisted that the delegation
should be polled. The managers IF the
Boies boom do not believe that The eject
will be bad as the skirInishsrs report
because il is known that four Of the delo-
gates are gold men and that IL was q per

CHICAGO July l." Bolt" was the slogan
Of $50 democrats al a meeting Of gold men to-
night. Not q bolt from the convention; that
was decided against, but bolt from the
ticket and platform that the convention
makes. Every suggestion was received with
applause. Every contrary suggestion was
received in silence. This is the significant
resolution suggested by Mr. Irish of Cal
ifornia and adopted unanimously:
That each sound money delegation select
a member to return TO his state and get the
views Of his party on the matter and report
back 70 the chairman (Senator Gray in

Senator Hill and National Committeeman
Sheehan were not present but Governor
Flower and William c. Whitney with the
aid Of Colonel Fellows, held up New York
states end. The meeting was the most
prolonged of the convention, lasting till after
midnight, and though behind closed doors
its enthusiastic nature was easily discern
ible by the applause that fuated out.
Senator Gray Of Delaware presided over
the meeting when il begun but having to
leave TO attend the meeting Of the committee
on resolutions. did not return, ex-Gov-
ernor Flower took the chair in his absence
John P Irish of California the first
speaker, and he was folloewd by General A.
:. Bragg, William c. Whitney. Frederic
Coudert, Franklin McVeaEh and several
others. General Bragg was in favor of a
bolt Of the platform and ticket If the plans
/ announced by the silver men were carried
| out. He did not believe that the convention
displayed a democratic spirit, and ne was,
therefore, of the opinion that good demo
Gratis could with honor and credit denounce
their work
Franklin McVeagh Of Illinois and Dele
gate-st-Large Coudert Of New York were
OF the same mind although the latter was
careful in expression, while McVeagh spoke
Of even leaving the convention. EXGov-
ernor Russell Of Massachusetts agreed 70
the adoption of the resolution, but would
not commit himself General Bragg would
speak very hroadly-he would not support
the ticket. He was for q new ticket. Outh-
waite OF Ohio and Holder Of Ohio were in
favor OF the resolution. Ohio would go

National Committeeman Clayton Of Ala
bamA insisted upon his overthrow.
Colonel Fellows appealed for mercy. He
pleaded with the majority to do generous
thing and show that they did not place too
much reliance on the force Of numbers. but
In the righteousness OF their cause. Mr..
McDeTmott was even driven TO threats. Gen
eral St Clair who is a silver man, opposed
the defeat OF Hill. whom he had supported
four years ago and whose defeat then he
expressed bis profound regret for today. But
the silver men. most Of whom had spoken
for Hill in 1892 and who recalled the fact
with evident pride and who expressed great
regret at the necessity which compelled them
10 take this course, contended that the cleo
tion Of a temporary chairman In harmony
with the majority was OF vital Importance.
The temper OF the delegates was plainly ap-
greeted from the salvus with which they
greeted these firm utterances. 1t was no
ticeable that neither side put its giants for
ward.
BREAK IN IOWA RANKS.
When the vote came to be taken J. W.
Stackhouse one of the administration fed
oral officials in Iowa in order TO faunt the
divisions IN the Boies delegation. challenged
the vote Of the state and uncovered seven
gold votes. Mr Haldeman did the same
thing in Blackburn's Kentucky delegation,
and Mr.. Mcknight a silver MichiEanite,
showed twelve silver votes in his delegation
which were locked up by the unit rule. The
result OF the roll call showed 59o votes iOr
. Daniel ana 34g votes for Hill practically the
strength Of the two sides. Although this
did not show a two-thirds majority. the sill
yer leaders display no anxiety on this score,
/ as the Nebraska gold delegation Of l6 will
/ be unseated and the representation from the
: territories will be increased from two u
4 six each. Senator Daniel who assumed the
duties OF presiding officer is an impressive
] figure and a most eloquent orator Of the old
school. He sounded the keynote for silver
/ in a ringing speech. but the fact that be
! spoke from notes was rather disappointing
/ to his friends. The silver leaders in con.
troll carried through the remainder of the
| program today and tonight the several com
mittees are in session with silver everywhere
! in control
There is little change in the situation 2:

TO crowd on to the band wagon but the calm

can win. They still look for Boies or a darl
horse The use which the gold contingen

situation and many believe that in the pres

the unique prestige of Mr.. Gladstone.
Mr.. Gladstone's power, however, is
built upon a foundation very different
from that which bolstered up the fame
OF the greatest of jingoes. There is a
moral austerity in his character, a lofty
fdealism in his eloquence, a certain
philosophy of craftsmanship to which,
in spite Of chance and change, he has
been true, that compel a popular esteem
and respect which seem scarcely dimin-
ished by the general recognition of his
marvellous intellectual subtility. 1t re-
auires no prophet to foretell the lasting
quality of Mr.. Gladstone's fame, writes
Edward M. Chapman in the Century.
Palmerston's hold upon the people,
on the other hand, was due in no small
measure to the absence of the very
qualities by which Mr.. Gladstone is
characterized. His moral ideals, so far
from being exalted, were common to
the last degree. His talents command
ed consideration by their quantity
rather than their quality He could lay
little claim to eloquence, though his

Feel and Palmerston had grown to their
size and did hard work in them.
Palmerston's worst enemy never
questioned his administrative powers
/ or his devotion to work. In his long
terms at the war and foreign Offices, as
well as during the years when he was
prime minister, the amount of efficient
labor which he bestowed upon the pub
lie service puts him in the front rank
OF working ministers; while his three
years years as home secretary served to illus
trate both his industry and his versa
ftlllty. Nor need there be any question
that his sympathies, other things being
equal, were always on the side of the
oppressed, and that he rejoiced to
strengthen the guarantees Of freedom
But then, other things never we're equal
here lies the great indictment that is
70 be brought against Lord Palmerston
as foreign minister. He made what
he called patriotism fetish-a blind,
;desp otto, tyrannous thing whose ignor-
ant and imperious demands must be
satisfied at once, regardless Of all large
rules of right and wrong. National ag-
grandizement, national self-assertion,
without account of consequence or the
higher demands Of justice, were the
ends which Palmerston sought to OBJ

A Lucky Catch.

A workman in mine who had
played cricket in his time once saved
his life by making a good CATCH He
was standing at the bottom of shaft
waiting for bucketful of dynamite
sticks that were being lowered to him.
The bucket was we'll on it's way down
when he saw it strike against some OBJ
stacle and turn partly over. Out fell
one of the sticks. He watched it fall
ing in zig-Zag course-a messenger
of instant death. When it struck the
hard bottom there would be trSmen-
dous explosion and a dead miner But
it did not strike the hard bottom Like
player on the field the workman put
up his hands and caught the stick with
that easy swing of the arms that crick-
eterss acquire.
