Especial To The Times.)
Chicago, July 7.-Gov Anyeld. of Illinois.
is an anarchist in appearance. 1t was he
who pardoned the anarchists in jail for
participation in the bomb throwing in
Chicago; and hence the impression prevails
that he is in sympathy with anarchists
and anarchy. s
Ex-Congressman Bland, of Missouri, not
only looks like an anarchist; but he has
talked like an anarchist. 1t was Bland
who said in the Fifty second Congress, that,
because the bill providing FOR the coinage
OF the seigniorage of silver in the Treasury
was meeting with opposition in Congress.
.SOme man ought TO throw a bomb from
yonder galleries down into our midst"
That is the language of a ull-f1edged
ana rchist; and it is but natural that Gov.
Altgeid should have concluded to support
such a man for the Presidency. The strik-
ers and lawless elements OF Chicago or
any other great city might go on burning
and wrecking property without interfer-
ence IL Bland or one OF his ilk were In
the White House.
SILVER MEN DEFINED.
All silver men are not cranks, but all
cranks are silver men; hence 1t is not sur
pnsiDs that the Democratic NaNonal Con-
veBtion is dominated by the crdnk element;
nor is it surprising that such an aggrega-
ton should seem 10 be favorable to Bland
1t is beyond doubt that Band has q ma
jCrity of the Western delegates, and a
large number of Southern delegates
Whatever else may be said about ex-
Gov Boies, of Iowa, it must be conceded
that he is u gentleman, and a dignified,
cultured-oDe. He has never teen in SYM
pathy with anarchists OF cFanks, and hence
that element does not come spontaneously
to his support. They go rather to Bland;
man whose candidacy is largely conducted
under false pretenses. If the gold men n
this convention should prove to be as wise
and sagacious as their friends believe
them &c be, they will give their support
to the Bland movement; because Bland could
never be elected.
.BLUNDER BOIES."
No one OF the candidates can this even
ing foot up more than 100 votes, and few
can claim half that many. 1t is the mis-
fortune OF ex-Gov. Boies that he has the
opposition of some OF the leading Democrats
OF Iowa, foremost among them being Hon.
J. j. Richardson, the national committee
man, vino says that Boies can never again
carry Iowa On any issue; certainly not on
the silver ISSUE
The Boies boomers find Ii hard to combat
such statements from such authority. Mr..
Richa rdson says that in speech delivered
in New York four yearsago, the ex- governor
depicted the Iowa farmers as paupers barely
ekeinG out miserable existence upon their
impoverished farms.
That speech has earned for him the local
soubriauet Of ..Blunder Boies," and all
OF the farmers in Iowa would be glad of a II
opportunity to get whack at Poles, for
having made that speech traducing the agri-
cultural masses
EVERYBODY knows the extent of the Teller
boom. No figures are given, but the ex-
pressions OF the Teller men are the mo st
confident They say that it will be Teller
on the third or fourth ballot, and that,
too, without abrugating the two thirds
rule. 1t does seem almost impossible that
Teller could thus be nom mated by Demo
cratic National Convention; but that is
what is claimed
FROM THESE, WHICH?
The names of seven candidates will be
formally presented to the co INVENTION, but
the list of possibilitiesis rather an exte nded
one, as folio VS.:
Richard p Bland of Missouri.
Horace Boies of Iowa.
c. E. Matthews of Indiana.
r. E. Pattison Of Pennsylvania
John R. Mclean Of Ohio.
Jo c. S. Blackburn of Kentucky.
Ben. R. Tllman Of South Carolina
Ex-Gov. Pennoyer of Oregon
Senator White of California
A E. Stevenson Of Illinois.
Henry NJ Teller of Colorado.
The latter is the newest convert to the
alleged Democratic faith, and is a formida~
BILE candidate. Senator Cockreil of Mis-
souri,, in replying to the complaint that Tel
ler has but recently come over to the Demo
cratic pa rty, says:
THAT is not true. 1t is the Democratic
party which has but recently come over
to Teller. The Colorado Senator has been
advocating free silver coinage for an en-
tire generation. and stands just where be
has always stood.
''The Democratic party has come to Tel
Ter and will adopt platform such as Teller
has long advocated. Upon that platform
Senator Teller could run as well as any
man branded Democrat could run Never
theless do not know that Teller Is can
didate; but there is no reason why he
should not be nominated as silver man.
for he has been a consistent champion OF
silver all his nfe.'' ...s-..
