The national democratic committee met
today to hear contests and to select tenn
porary officers. Hon. H. d. Clayton
placed in nomination Senator John w.
Daniel for temporary chairman and Gov
ernor Sheehan placed in nomination Sem
ator Hill On roll call the vote stood:
Daniel, 23; Hill, 27. Undoubtedly Daniel
will be substituted as temporary chair
man of the convention. Clayton will
probably place him in nomination.
John w. Tomlinson WAS selected by the
Alabama delegation to go on the steering
committee of the silver committee.
Alabama was honored by the appoint
ment of Leopold Strauss as one of the
assistant secretaries.
Our delegation Is divided for president
among Boies, Bland Matthews and
whitney. The sound money delegates
are for the latter.
The Boies and Bland men are parading
the streets and filling the hotel lobbies
with cheers and singing campaign songs.
The excitement is great.
The Matthews men are doing the quiet
and effective work, and some of the best
judges predict that he will be the winner
Mclean is being quietly groomed as the
dark horse. He has strong following.
There is no question about the platform
being straight for silver at 16 to l.
The convention promises to be exciting
from the start to finish.
The sound money men are simply
bluffing. There will be no bolt. The Sill
yer men are well organized on all ques-
tions, and will vote solidly on call OF the
roll.
