Chicago. July 2.-The executive COM
mittee OF the national democratic COM
mittee have decided to recommend TO
the full committee to proceed in the
usual way to designate a temporary
chairman OF the national convention.
1t Is not yet determined whether the
executive committee will assume the
responsibility of naming the man for
the place. That matter Is still under
consideration. The decision to recon-
mend this course has been arrived at.

silver men but because II is in accord

evidences that the committeeman pre-

to what they look upon as an unjustl-

There is no doubt that II the full ma

mendation. II will precipitate a lively
skirmish on the floor of the convention
on the threshold OF its proceedings.
The silver men show no disposition to
yield unless a pronounced and we'll

now reason to believe will not be done

the gold and silver forces will be
fought out there and then.
1t has been intimated that in case
affairs reach this stage. Chairman
Harrity will refuse to order a general
roll call and will arbitrarily seat the
gold candidate. The silver men refuse
to believe he would pursue such q
course. but shake their heads ominous-

STEWART OF NEVADA.
ue Puts n Question 10 the Democrats,
which rhey answer.


Chicago, July 2.-Hon. William NJ.
In the city taking notes upon the prog
ress Of affairs In connection with the
democratic convention. Upon being
asked for an interview. he said: Il
have asked several democrats whether,
II the democrats should adopt a gold
standard platform and II the republl-
cans should adopt a free coinage plat
form and nominate Mckinley, Lodge
Reed or any Of that class of faithful
republicans. they would vote the repub-
lican ticket because of the silver dec
laration. Every one to whom the ques-
tion was put has said In reply that he
would not. Still they seem TO think
that silver republicans ought to vote
the democratic ticket. provided the
democrats adopt a free coinage plat
form. They appear to ignore the vul-
gar old saying that what Is sauce for
the goose Is sauce for the gander.
However. so FAR as l have seen. the
majority OF this democratic gathering
is more patriotic than the majority
has been In any other national conven-
tion for 20 years. They seem really
anxious to take such action as will In
sure success for the silver cause. and
/ am Inclined to think that they Will
make 1t possible for the populists and
the silver republicans to vote for their
nominee without going into the demo-
cratic party for that purpose. II they
do not. ! fear there will be two silver
candidates In the field to divide the
silver vote and give the tory Hesslans
another victory"
Senator Stewart declined TO say
whom he expected to be nominated or
to give in detail any OF his reasons for
hoping the nominee will be other than
a democrat. He says he will remain
In Chicago until after the close Of the
democratic convention and will then
proceed to st. Louis to attend the sill
yer convention.

Votes In the Convention.

Chicago July 2.-On the basis that
each territory will be allowed six votes
and the District Of Columbia six votes.
the total number Of votes In the con-
vention will be als. or these AGO would
be a majority and 6l2 would be two
thirds. The silver men are to-day
claiming 596 votes and conceding only
3Si to the gold element. With these
figures II will be noticed that the silver
men lack but l6 votes Of having the
necessary two-thirds to nominate. but
they claim that the eight votes counted
for gold In Ohio will come to them af-
ter the temporary organization. while
Michigan votes are also expected. Ne
braska Is figured In the silver column
and this Is because. while there Is
contest. the silver men say that they
will see that the gold standard men
are not seated. 1t Is the security in
this preponderance of votes that makes
the silver leaders confident of ultimate
victory. The decision upon the abro-
cation OF the two-thirds vote on nomi-
nations may be delayed until after
temporary and permanent organization
and until the convention Is ready to
nominate. Then unless the gold stan
dard men recognize the superiority OF
numbers and succumb to the inevita-
BILE. the silver men will force the issue
and rescind the long standing rule.

Hill Will Not Get That Important Once
He's In the Wrong Glass.
Chicago. July 2.-Senator Hill Of New
York will not be temporary chairman
Of the democratic national convention.
The silver leaders almost unanimously
declare the temporary organization
must certainly be controlled by the
majority Of the convention. Senator
Blackburn said to-day: Hill would
undoubtedly make an impartial chair
man, but he Is allied with the gold
forces and II would be a roundabout
way of procedure for US to turn over
to the minority of the convention its
organization. 1t is not to be supposed
that the majority is going to jeopardize
its chances"
Then you do not believe that Hill
will be made chairman of the tempo-
rary organization, even by q conjunc-
tion of the gold votes and such silver
delegates as favor him?"

came emphatic, using forcible gestures.
"this convention Is in the control of
the silver men. That is a fact beyond
any question Of doubt. On every ques-
tion the standing Of the majority will
be to aid their movements. Now II the
gold men were in control. they would
not think of giving us control of the
temporary organization. and I don't
believe they will expect US to give 1t
to them. Any way. whether they do or
not, we shall not act thar way. A sill

hurry. Every man In the convention
and every movement should have an
impartial hearing Then we can go
before the people with clean hands and
ask approval. don't agree with Alt
geld that there Is any jeopardy In such
a course TO our cause"
Blackburn was naturally coy about
saying anything regarding presidential
candidates or chances, as his own
constituency was booming him this
morning. Il have heard" he said,
''that Governor Altgeld has decided to
assist Bland, but II is little early yet
to talk OF chances"
