Gov. Altgeld and Secretary of State
Heinriohsen also arrived today. Helm
richsen said: 1.-The silver men will
control both the temporary and per-
manent organizations and adopt free
silver l6 to platform. The gold stand
ard men present will not vote the ticket,
so they will be ignored. Last year
when the democrats Of Illinois held q
convention and declared for free silver
| wrote Whitney and other gold stand
ard democrats asking for conference
between the gold and silver men. The
replies were short and curt. They
could not think of consulting with 80
Insignificant faction as the free silver
wing represented. Things have chang
ed now We have two thirds OF the
delegates. We will not confer witE the
gold men because we have nothing to
confer about"
The Record Gays that Senator Harrie,
OF Tenn. chairman OF the democrstio
bimetsllic national committee will pro-
badly be permanent chairman OF the
democratic national committee and the
national headquarters will probably be
moved to Chicago.
