He Will Support the Democra-
tic Nominees.
HAS MADE UP HIS MIND
Informed Chairman Jones of
His Decision.
SENATOR MURP4Y'ALSO IN LINE
Senator Hill, Ii Is Said, Will Make a
Formal Announcement in Few
Days of His Position in
the Matter.

New York, Aug. 6.-To-morrow
morning the World will say:
Senator David B. Hill will support
the nominees of the Chicago conven-
ton. A formal announcement of his
position, it is said will be made public
within a very few days"
The facts, the World will say, were
learned by Senator James X. Jones,
chairman of the Democratic National
committee, on visit to Mr.. Hill at
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, Wednesday
night.
Senator Jones returned to the city
this morning accompanied by Law
renee Gardiner, Secretary of the Dem
ocratic Congressional campaign com
mittee, who went down to Normandie
Wednesday night. Senator Jones re-
marked significantly, "Hill is all
right"
The chairman, according to the
World, had become somewhat anxious.
He desired to find out exactly where
the Senator stood and how long he
was going to stand there. Mr.. Gardin-
er, it is said, made the arrangements
for Wednesday nights visit at the in
stance of Senator German. Neither of
the principals cared to have the matter
reach the newspapers.
Mr.. Jones dined with Mr.. Hill at
the Normandie and met State Chair
man Hinkley and John B. Stanchfield.
From mutual friends the World will
say, it was learned that their talk was
extremely frank.
The Worlds article continues: 'EMr.
Hill expressed his feelings freely a
bout the Chicago convention and its
platform and of the contest that had
been going on in his own mind as to
his duty as a Democrat at this time ''
The Worlds article then continues to
say that Senator Jones received the
information that Senator Murphy was
thoroughly in favor of endorsing the
ticket.

Tom Reed Renominated for
Congress by Acclamation.
SPEECH OF ACCEPTANCE
Declares the Money Question TO
Be the Great Issue.
HE FAvORS A GOLD STANDARD
The Gear Speaker is Not Sure that
Even international -MetalIism
Would Be a Good


Portland, Me, Aug. 6.-Thomas Ii.
Reed was to-day re-nominated by ac-
clamation for Congress by the Repub-
lican convention of the First district.
1t is the tenth successive term for
which Mr.. Reed has been nominated.
In putting Mr.. Reed in nomination
Wilfred G. Chapman expressed regret
that he was not the presidential can
didate of his party. But" he said,
1--WE are bound to put aside feelings OF
disappointment and we are now look
ing forward to the time when Mr..
Reed will become the Republican
standard bearer and as President of the
United States will still further honor
his district"
After the nomination, Mr.. Reed was
escorted to the platform amid loud
cheering. He seemed TO be consider
ably affected by the ovation. Mr.. Reed
thanked the convention for the unani-
nous nomination, saying that by so
doing he had been relieved of the duty
of attending to his district and given
the opportunity of paying attention
to the wickedness of the rest of the
world
Continuing he said: I'VE, in Maine,
have got to make up our minds on the
great issue of this campaign and a
great deal depends upon what we do
in September. When we see two men
standing on a corner and both men
seem TO be somewhat uneasy and un-
able to fully comprehend what they
are talking about you may rest as
sured that they are talking about the
currency. / shall not attempt to fully
explain the currency question to you
but I shall say something about it.
I'VE often hear that silver was de-
monetized in 1878, stealthily and by
the influence of foreign emissaries. As
a matter of fact the Congressional
Record of that date had 1856 columns
OF speeches on the silver question and
the foreign embassies had nothing to
do with it. No fraud or wickedness
was practiced in 1873
The only question is what none
tary system is the best? You hear
great deal about bi-metallism.
NOW, there is some reason and
sense in the idea that the whole world.
if they took gold and silver at proper
ratio, could preserve firmer and more
staple level of prices, but no single
country could do.
Real bi-metallism has never yet had
a perfect trial. | mean international
bi-metallism, and that is the kind we
must have, because, as | said to YOU at
Alfred, if this is a disease at all it is
a world disease, and has got to have
a world remedy. Nothing else will
attend to it," (Applause.)
Following Mr.. Reeds speech the
committee on resolutions reported
and the convention adopted a strong
endorsement of the action of the st.
Louis convention, pledged loyal sup
port to Mckinley and Hobart and to
the candidate for Governor, LIewelling
Powers, and closed by pledging the
First district to make Mr.. Reeds elec-
tion as nearly unanimous as possible

MAINE is NOW FOR SILVER.
The Democrats Hold smother State
Convention.

Wateryille, Me, Aug. 6.-The second
Democratic convention for the nomin-
alton of candidate for governor to
be held in this State this year, pro-
ceed1ng made necessary by the resig-
nation of Mr.. Winslow, who was named
at the previous convention, met here
to-day. The contest for the nominal
ton, however, was overshadowed by
that on the resolutions. At the pre-
ylous convention a platform favoring
the gold standard was adopted, but
at meeting of the State committee
held last evening it was decided to
present a resolution endorsing the
Chicago platform and the nominees of
the National convention.
1t was decided by the State commit
tee that Mayor DicI1ey, of Fort Kent.
should preside and that the candidate
for governor should be nominated
without speeches.

ton of Mr.. d. Frank, of Portland,

cago candidates and platform was pre-
sented, VIM. Henry Clifford, of Port
land, objected in a sensational speech
which was greeted with Kisses. Cliff
ford and 80 followers bolted the con-
vention.
NJ. ID. Frank was nominated for Gov
ernor in place of Mr.. Winslow, who re-
tired because of the attitude the Dem
ocratic party has taken at the Ma
tional convention on the currency
question. On the first ballot Mr.. Frank
received 1872 votes to 1873 for Mr.. Han
son. On motion of the latter the
nomination was made unanimous.
The committee on resolutions report
ed endorsing the Chicago platform and
the nominees of the National conven-
tion.
