A TRIUMPH FOR ALTGELD.
The silver Men Win in the Cook
County Committee.

County Committee.
Chicago May 5.-The silver and gold
forces of the democratic party of Cook
county were arrayed against each other
to-day in a battle royal at a meeting of
the Cook county democratic committee,
and silver won. The issue was not so
much on the monetary question as upon
the question of the committees right to
hold primaries for the county in any man
ner the commtte saw fit without inter-
democrats led by eX-Mayor Hopkins and
eX-Alderman Culerton, upon whom were
heaped the bitter personalities Of the COM
mitteemen.
The action of the administrative county
democratic body is a hattering triumph
for Gov. Altgeld and the probabilities are
that he will now be the nominee of the
state convention for governor on a silver
platform unless the democratic voters of
this county declare against free silver.
By a vote of "a to A. the committee de-
cided not to adopt the plan of the gold
democrats TO have the county convention
held June 3 to elect delegates to the state
convention, or to have the primaries held
under the Crawford law with superVis-
ors composed of three silver and three
gold members of the committee.
1t was decided to hold the county con-
ventioa May 26 and the primaries the day
before.

rest with the executive committee and
the committee on primaries, contests and

silver faction is in big majority on both
committees. A delegation of bankers and

cation spoke adversely.

The Volksraad was opened yesterday af
ternoon. President Kruger, in his address
to the chambers reviewed the events of
the year. He began by deploring the death

ago, and continued by saying that recent
events which had been due to maleVo-
lence and selfish objects had interrupt
ed the rest and peace of the country.
''It has ever been my object" he further
said, 'to promote the development and
prosperity of the republic in a peaceable
manner, and l expect, with the fullest
confidence, that during this session the
VOksraad will assist in restoring rest
and peace, so that through our united
cooperation the country may flourish and
become prosperous to the benefit of all.

for a closer union with the Orange Free

dustries of the country were prosperous,
the native affairs peaceful and the hnan-
cial condition of the republic sound.
The presidents of both chambers were
reelected.
