THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE.
1t May Place Neither Contestants MOI
Contestces the Temporary Roll.

1t May Place Neither Contestants Nor
Contestces on the Temporary Roll.
CHICAGO, June 30-The subcommittee
of the Democratic national committee will
meet at the Palmer House in this city to-
morrow for the purpose of arranging some
of the minor details of the convention
This subcommittee consists OF Chairman
w. F. Harrity. of Pennsylvania: Secretary
s. +. Sheerln OF Indiana, and Messrs. r.
T. Gable, OF Illinois, ]. G.. Prather, of Mis-
souri,; j.. c. Wall. OF Wisconsin,; Hugh c.
Wallace of Washington. and Il. H. Sher-
ley. of Kentucky. The committee will hear
reports from the subcommittee on music,
press and decoration OF the convention.
Secretary Sheerin said to-day that the mi
nor committees having these matters in
charge will be able 10 report that every
thing is I'm practical readiness for the con-
vention, and he had no doubt that the sub
committee I'm charge would find the work
In all respects satisfactory. The national
committee has departed from the usual
rule of having & committee composed of
residents 10 look .fter these matters They
placed the work In the hands OF members
OF their own organization and they feel
that the plan has proved a success.
The full committee will not meet till noon
next Monday, the day before the conven-
tion No one appears 10 have a definite idea
as to what business II will have before IL.
There have been reports Of contests from
various States. notably Michigan. Texas.
Nebraska, Nevada ard Colorado, but Sec
retary Sheern says that so far he has re-
ceivod official rotice of none except that
from Nebraska The Democratic party has
in the past bc'a . free from contests that
ere are few Drrcedents To guide them.
The national committee has never hereto
fore granted hearings. as the Republican
committee does nor attempted to arrange
them so far as 70 decide what set OF dele
gates, where there are contests, shall have
their names placed on the temporary roll
The practice has been rather to deprive
both parties 10 contest from participating
In the Temporary organization, thus refer
ring the entire matter to the convention.
II is believed that this plan will be pur-
sued this year, though the silver men have
been somewhat apprehensive that the ma
tional committee may attempt to override
these precedeIts and seat gold contestants.
believing a majority OF the committee to be
opposed TO silver. Hence the subcommittee.
which will meet tomorrow, Will be asked
by the silverites 10 give them some assur-
ance on this matter.
The national committee will. at its meet
ing next Monday designate temporary OFF,
GERS of the convention, including the tenn
porary chairman.

twenty minutes, as he would go right
through TO Denver. IL was arranged tnat
an invitation be extended 10 all friends of
silver to go to the depot and meet the
distinguished transmississippian. To the
surprise of ALL however. the Senator came
in this morning and quietly rested at his
hotel before his friends learned that he
was here. At noon he went TO Judge
Gregory office and remained while The
reception was declared of. but the Sena-
tor met a number OF friends around town.
he was greeted heartily by many Of the
prominent free silvcrites and with them
discussed the best means for extending
the faith. To reporter Senator Teller said
which the people of Denver had arranged
for him tomorrow evening He said:
Il don't take much stock IN these recep-
tons. but cannot very well ignore them.
DO you think the Chicago convention
will declare for free silver?' he was
asked.
There can now be no doubt about that"
replied the Senator
Would you accept the nomination for
President from that convention?"
Il should prefer not 70 answer that ques-
ton. No man can accept or decline that
which has never been rendered him..
DO you think the nomination OF Boies
or Bland would be acceptable TO the free
silver Republicans of the Rocky mountain
States?"
Yes. think our people would support
either of those gentlemen. or any other
man of good character and ability who is
recognized by those favoring the free COIN
age of silver
would such a nomination carry the
mountain States that usually have gone Re
publican?"
THAT / cannot answer. Any of those
men would poll an enormous vote, but
whether they would carry one or more
states am not prepared TO predict"

convention The resolution was discussed
at some length, but the meeting was secret
and the tenor of the remarks was not made
known, except in the most general way.
Tie feeling that controlled the meeting
and which seemed to exist among all those
present was that the situation demanded
that no precautions be neglected in max
ing sure of the temporary organization OF
the convention by the silver majority. 1t
appeared that no one knew of any deter
mination on the part of the national COM
mittee 10 deprive the silver men OF the
temporary organization. On the other
hand no one knew of any inclination there
TO give the silver men control, and it was
unanimously conceded that wisdom de-
manded the bimetallic organization should
put itself in touch with the national COM
mittee In order to form its plans soon as
possible, in order TO be able to counteract
them IN case they should be averse to the
silver interest. The committee adjourned
until o'clock tomorrow morning.
After the adjournment 1T developed that
the resolution providing for the appoint
ment of "a committee TO confer with the
national committee was ofIered by Senator
Jones of Arkansas, and was found the
basis OF all the Walk In Offering the reso-
luton, Senator JCaes explained briefly his
purpose In doing So saying that he knew
nothing of the purpose of the national com
mittee with regard to the selection OF tenn
porary chairman. but it would not do to
take any chances. He called attention to
the fact that all those present at the BIZ
metallic meeting were delegates to the con-
vention: said they were acting as the in
that they had right TO know what the
purposes of the committee were on the sub
ject of temporary organization.
Ex-Representative Bryan, of Nebraska,
Judge Powers. of Utah. and Mr.. Mcneil. of
Tennessee, followed i'm like strain. The dis
astrous effect of allowing the gold men
to name the temporary chairman of the
Michigan convention when the silver men
were in the majority was recalled, and the
remark made by several OF the speakers
that no concessions should be made as a
matter of courtesy. There were twenty
nine delegates present. and of the number
there but one dissenting view. A
member of the Missouri delegation sug-
gested that IL might be construed as dis
courteous for the committee to demand the
right 10 name the temporary chairman and
suggested that the national committee
should be asked to hear the views of the
different delegations before making its ses
lection of a temporary chairman This
suggestion was brushed aside as impracti-

man of excellent attainments, and if-elect-

The Senator expressed the opinion that
the convention would declare unequlvocally
for the free coinage of silver and would
submit TO no compromise proposition. On
the tariff, he said "Have you read our In
diana platform? We declare that with the
free mintage OF silver, our present tariff
law will produce all the duty necessary to
support the government. We stand by this
declaration.

outlook for a gold-standard plank is not
as favorable as heretofore. and that tho
silver men would probably dominate the
convention and put their man in nomina-
ton for President. He added that such a
result would mean q hard fiGht In Novem-
ber Whatever the outcome, the Pennsyl-

by the decision OF the convention. He

ILLINOIS DELEGATION.
1t Votes I'm Favor of AbroGating the
Two-Thfrds Rule.

CHICAGO. June 3O.--The Illinois delega-
ton TO the national Democratic convention
voted unanimously to-day to support in
convention a resolution for the abrogation
of the rule requiring presidential candi-
dates 20 receive the votes of two-thirds OF
the delegates to insure nomination. The
proposition was supported In an earnest
speech by Governor Altgeld The Governor
declared that the two-thirds rule had been
a curse to the Democratic party ever
since ii came into existence. Its principal
effect was he said to enable the minority
to dictate the nominations to be made by
the party. Furthermore. the rule was un-
pre-eminently party of majority control
He declared. also. that the abrogation OF
the rule at this time was the key TO the
situation. With the rule I'm existence the
party might be at the mercy OF the gold
forces; with ii wiped out there would be
no possible question of the supremacy of
the silver forces in the approaching con-
vention. The speech was received with
after several others had spoken, the motion
prevailed without a division.
The delegation also discussed at some
length a suggestion offered by ex-Congress-
man Williams, that the delegation should
express a preference for presidential can
