CHICAGO.
The latest calculation as 10 the out
come no Chicago Is that the silver men
vI have a majority Of 106 in the con-
t.ntiuu. The whole number Of delegates
n the body will be SO. The silver
men are credited with 3SS, the gold men
with 3. doubtful, 172. OF the last. III
me stated 10 Doe for free silver and 81
for gold making 49, for the former and
for the latter. The question then
arises. II these conditions prevail how
