THIS SOUNDS LIKE A BOLT
Resolution Passed by the Gold
Men Last Night
AS TO INDEPENDENT ACTION
Speeches Strongly Advocating Walk-0ut
Were Made-Whtney Says Boiling, if
Any Should Be Individual.

Chicago, July 1.-THE sound money"
men met at the Auditorium hotel this
evening and after listening to speeches,
some of which squarely advised the gold
men to bolt, the conference adopted a
resolution as follows:
THAT a committee of one or more be
appointed from each state to confer with
the president and report the temper con-
corning an organization of the sound
money old democracy and how far such
organization should go in Independent
action for the election next November"
The meeting was organized at o'clock
under the craftsmanship of Senator Gray
of Delaware. There were over 800 gold
men present, many Of them representing
silver states, where the unit rule has ST.
fenced them in the convention. Nearly
every southern state was represented.
During the meeting there was a free
exchange of views upon the situation
and speeches were made by William c.
Whitney and Frederic K. Coudert OF New
York, Ex-Governor Russell of Massachu-
settS, John p. Irish of California and
others. Some of the speeches deliberate
ly advocated the nomination of an indie
pendent gold democrat. Much enthusi-
asm was manifested during the session,
and the speakers were frequently inter
rupted with cries of give US a separate
candidate I'VE won't stand for silvert
ite," etc.
Mr. Whitney's speech was short and
very conservative. He tried to impress
upon the delegates that no national
movement for an independent candidate
upon gold basis would be wise until
the matter had been fully discussed by
the gold democrats of the different states.
He said that if there was any boiling
from this convention it should be simply
an individual affair, intended as a pro-
test Of the gold men against the action
of the convention. He further said that
the presence of the sound money" men
had a tendency to make the action of the
ma jority of the convention more conSerV-
alive than it otherwise would have been,
and that it would likely proceed with
more caution tomorrow. He thought that
the measures adopted today were very
harsh. Yet they were perhaps light In
comparison to those that would have
been adopted had 1t not been for the pres
ence and determined fight of the gold
forces. 1t was decided that the men be
appointed by the different states in ac-
cordance with the resolution and report
to Senator Gray not later than August /.
The resolution was discussed by more of
! the delegates present and was especially
warmly praised by the southern demo-
Gratis in attendance. The delegates freely
expressed the opinion that the probable
outcome of the new movement would be
the nomination of a gold man for the
presidency by the Sound money dem
ocrats. The meeting was a protracted
one ana did not adjourn until near mid
night

THE MICHIGAN MATTER.
Committee on Credentials viii Recommend
the Seating of the Contrasting Sill
yer Delegates.

Chicago, ILL.,, July S.-The committee on
credentials organized by electing Mr.. j.
H. Atwood of Kansas chairman and Mr..
M. E. Benton of Missouri secretary. Con-
tests were filed from Nevada, Nebraska,
Michigan and South Dakota.
Mr.. Baker, for the contestants, read
statement protesting against the seating
of the four delegates at large from Michi-
gan, w. E. G. Stevenson, L. A. e. Wea-
dock, Robert r. Blacker, Peter White,
and the delegates from the Fourth and
Ninth district. He read voluminous affi
davlts to sustain his contention that the
Michigan convention was controlled by
federal office holders by bribery, intimida-
ton and the violation of instructions by
delegations and by putting on the roll
of the state convention the names of nine
delegates from counties that never even
held conventions. By this means, he
claimed that silver majority of 100 was
turned into a gold majority of fifty Eight,
and with the convention thus thrown into
their hands the gold men railroaded
everything through and would hear moth
ing from the silver side.
Mr.. Baker was accorded forty minutes
and then Mr.. w. E. C. Stevenson for the
sitting delegation presented his side of
the case.
At o'clock this Wednesday, morning
a vote was reported and the committee
by vote of n to 16 recommended the
seating of the contesting delegates, four
at large and two in the Fourth and Ninth
districts each, from the state of Michi-
gan. The unit rule prevails in the Michi-
gan delegation and this action of the
committee, if confirmed by the conven-
ton, will throw the solid vote of Michi-
gan into the silver column, and 1t gives
the silver men the majority of the delega-
ton.
The committee recommended that the
territories and the District of Columbia
be entitled to six votes each in the con-
vention.

Fifth Avenue Needs Repairing.

Now that Fifth avenue is the popular
thoroughfare for wheelmen and carriage
driving, the many people who indulge in
these healthful and outdoor exercises are
anxious to see the roadway kept in first
class style. There are a number of bad
holes along the avenue, and a little ebert
here and there would remedy the defect.

place many people under obligations to
them by having the matter looked after.

Impromptu SILVER Rally.

Chicago, July THE Sherman house
tonight was the scene of an enthusiastic
impromptu gathering of silver men, with
brass band accomplishments and Tenn
porary Chairman Daniel and Ex-Con-
gresham Bryan as the oratorical attrac-
lions. Gen. w. A. Clark, chairman Of
the Montana delegation, introduced
Senator Daniel from the parlor gallery.
The senator said he had been one of
the advocates of silver who had never de-
Waited since he became a servant Of the
cause, and he was in 1t to stay twenty
five years If he lived to beat down the eff
forts of the autocrats of Europe to die
tate to the United States.
The next speaker, w. J. Bryan. was
loudly cheered. He minated at the
start that the gold delegates from Ne
braska had more right In q republican
convention than in a democratic. There
was no doubt as to the result of the CAM
paign. There was no use considering de-
tails. 1t was the general issue whether
this country could govern itself. 1t was
the campaign of 1876 over again.
After others had spoken Senator Dam
Tel held Misunderstanding reception and
the band played serenade.
