SILVER VICTORY ASSURED
Continued from First Page.

lied the silver movement in Washin gton We
took care To provide against such influences
and wrote our people in every district 10 sc Q
that strong men wereselected us delegates.
While there seems to lie no concentration
upon any one for temporary chairman, the
general opinion is that either Senator Har-
ris or Representative Richardsou, both Of
Tennessee, may be made permanent chair
man, and that Senator Blackburn Of Ken
lucky may be temporary chairman. All
these gentlemen are good parliamenta-
rians, Mr.. Harris having been President
pro TEN. OF the Senate, Mr.. Richardson d
frequent and experienced occupant Of the
Speakers chair during the two terms OF
Speaker Crisp, ard Mr. Blackburn having
frequently presided over the Senate.
Concerning the report that the national
committee intended to fcroe gold stand
ard man upon the convention for tenn
porary chairman, Mr.. Richardson said
IN othiDg of the kind will be done OF
course we recognize the fact that the COM
mittee as at present constituted is against
silver. but the committee will be very apt
to remember also that tie convention is very
largely the other way. If 1t decides by
majority vote to recommend to the conven-
ton a gold man, the minority OF tie COM
mittee will offer a substitute banning a
silver man.
A SHORT CONVENTION.
when the committee makes its report
to the convention this substitute viii be
offered and Il substitute is always voted on
first. The substitute Will be adopted, and
if there is to be brush about this ques-
ton il will be short and quick and result
in a sweeping victory for the silver men.
The majority will not listen TO the sound
ing OF gold note in the opening OF the con-
yen;ion. Such blunder could not be
entertained for Il moment and il is hardly
10 be expected that such an attempt Will
even be made"
GOV. Altgc!d's idea that the convention
can complete IFS work IN cne day is secuted
by experienced politicians One OF them
said this afternoon that W hile he was in
favor OF reasonable haste. he recognized
the fact that it required time to carefully
transact the business OF a national ccnven-
ton The platform would cause some de-
bate depending entirely upon the pleasure
of the convention. exercised through the
gavel OF the cha irman.
tits not improbable that some prominent
person representing the gold side Of the
uestion will be selected to antagonize
the report OF the committee on resolutions,
and with that single speech discussion will
end.
This will be accomplished by motion
from the floor demanding the previous ques-
tiop. which will be promptly put and car
ried While all reasonable expedition is
desired by those having control. no one OF
good Judgment predicts less than three
DAYS session.

Senator Jones of Arkansas, chairman
Of the steering committee of five ap-
pointed at the first conference. repurted
the result Of their interview with the
executive committee OF the Natonal Demo
cratic Committee. This interview he
stated, had been entirely satisfactory,
and the committee would have further
conference with the national committee.
Senator Jones stated, that in his opin-
ion, it is important that all silver dele
gates and their city addresses should be
known, SO that if at any time it was
thought necessary to call them together
this could he readily done. The suGges-
tion was well received. and on the roll

John Boyle.
Mr.. O'Donnell of Colorado. in the course
of speech urging the Importance of the
silver men securing the temporary organiZa-
tion. suggested the name OF c. s. Thomas of
his State as temporary chairman. He
created great enthusiasm by saving that
he and the Western silver men wanted "A
silver man nominated by silver votes. and
not by the votes of the goldbug delegates.
He had an intImation. he said, that the
gold me II might throw the: r votes in body
for some silver man. and no matter how
good a silver man the nominee might te.

He wanted the silver men to get together
and agree on a candidate and then 60
into the convention and nominate him by

Besides, my presence at the convention
would really do no good. The free silver
people seem about to have everything their
way, and, as l should stand by the reso-
lutions OF our State convention and vote

candidates, 1 should stand with the
minority in a hopeless and embarrassing
position In addition to my business rea-

Mr.. Charles c. Homer, another delegate
at-large. resigned the position few days
after the state convention met. Senator

Talbot OF the state central committee.
but Mr.. German also gave up the fight for
sound money and will be reported at Chica go

Mr. Talbot has not as yet named Mr..

will select some one who will carry out
the resolutions OF the State convention
and support sound money.
