The Credentials Committee Reverses the
Work of the National Body.
The committee on credentials met at
p. m. for W ork and the first business taken
up was the Michigan contest. John A. At
wood, of Kansas, was elected chairman.
Smith Weed. of New York, getting but
two votes. The fight over the Michigan
case was hot and acrimonious, and each
side was supported by mass of affidavits
full of accusations against the ''other fel-
low" When Elliott Stevenson was speak
ing for the gold men he was frequently
interrupted with such remarks as THAT
is lie
A vote was reached at last and stood q
to l6 i'm favor of seating the four contest
ing silver delegates-McGrath, Fisher,
Black and Mcknight The states voting
for the gold faction were Connecticut,
Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts,, Mime
sofa, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New
Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island, South Dakota, Vermont, Wiscon-
sin, Alaska and Oklahoma. These states
refused to vote on the ground that the evil
dcnce was insufficient: Florida, Georgia,
North Dakota, Oregon and Virginia.
This vote reversed the action of the ma
tional committee, which seated the gold
delegates. As Michigan was instructed by
the state convention TO follow the unit
rule its vote in convention will be changed
from gold to silver by this action. In the
Nebraska contest the committee voted
unanimously to seat the BRYAN contest
ants As no one was present to present
any contest from Nevada the committee
| decided to recognize none from that state.

Re Gives the Most Time to the Question
OF the Currency.
PATERSON, y. j., July S.-The commit
tee appointed by the national Republican
convention at St. Louis to notify the Hon.
Garrett A. Hobart of his nomination by
that convention for vice president of the
United States arrived in this city at :l3
a. m. yesterday. A special car conveyed
the party from Jersey City to Paterson,
where they alighted and drove to Hobart 8
house in carriages, where they were re-
ceived by Mr. and Mrs. Hobart and a
number of ladies and gentlemen.
Flags and bunting were displayed along
the road to Hobart's house and the great
est enthusiasm prevailed among those who
had assembled along the streets and at the
house. At - O'Clock the band stopped
playing and moved TO one side of the pi-
azza and Mr. and Mrs. Hobart, accompanied
by other ladies and gentlemen, stepped
out on the porch. Charles W. Fairbanks,
chairman of the committee, in a brief
speech notified Hobart of the honor done
him.
At the conclusion Of Fairbanks speech
Hobart replied. His speech was contrast
to that of Mckinley in that he gave near
ly the whole of it to the money question,
indicating that he thinks that issue the
paramount one. He spoke of the tariff
approvingly, but threc-iourths of what he
said was devoted to the financial issue
Governor Griggs arrived at Hobart s
house at 11:45, and among those in nattend-
ance were Congressman Fowler, Stewart
and Parker. Fully 5000 people were gath
cred in the vicinity of Hobart's house.

Red Hot Against the Iowans Who Voted
for Dave Hill.
To say that the Boies boomers are merely
angry at the action of seven members of
the Iowa delegation in the convention
yesterday is drawing it very mild. The
seven who had their votes recorded for
Hill yesterday were disciplined last night
by the remaining members of the delega-
ton. 1t is said that four of these seven
are gold men. the other three being straight
for Is to /. Some of the men who voted
tor Hill acknowledged that it was mis-
take and are very sorry that the break
was made.
The scouts and skirmishers who came
in from the various delegations since the
convention adjourned report that the ac-
ton OF the seven men was a stab under the
fifth rib for Boics. They say that in somo
Sciegations they heard il asserted that the
break in Iowa was disastrous to Boies and
! that 1t is all up with Uncle Horace "
Notwithstanding the fact that the entire
| twenty-six votes were cast with the silver
majority the Iowa men feel that the effect
| is very disastrous. and say that hereafter
| with u silver chairman a poll Of the dele

Bolt was the slogan of $50 Democrats at
q meeting OF gold standard men last night.
Not bolt from the convention; that was
decided against: but bolt from the ticket
and the platform that the convention
makes. Every suggestion was received
with applause. Every contrary sugges-
ton was received in silence. This is the
significant resolution suggested by Irish,
of California. and adopted unanimously:
That each sound money delegation select
n member TO return to his state and get
the views of his party on the matter and
report back to the chairman (SenatOr
