CHICAGO, July 2-Teller and Stevenson
are nc longer candidates for the presiden-
tial nomination, both having withdrawn
to-day. The senatorial silver junto of the
Democratic party shows signs of going to
pieces over the conflicting interests of cam
didates. it has chosen Bryan for tenn
porary chairman of the national conven-
ton, and will have a minority report made
by silver members of the national COM
mit,ee, favoring him as against Hill, thus
forcing the fight on the floor of the con-
vention and turning down the national
ton is responsible for the weakening of
the silver jtinto by trying to force eau
Gus of all the silver delegates for Monday
night to agree on candidate, believing
that they could control a majority of such
a caucus. Indiana, probably Iowa. and all
the States having minor candidates, will
resist this caucus movement. The Indiana
people have decided to stand by the two
thirds rule, and Will probably be followed
in this by a number of the silver States.
The sound-money men are focking in,
and will probably command enough
strength by strategic combinations with
candidates to give the silver leaders a
heap of trouble.

forget there is a suslior Senator from the
State, except when the sextennial election
comes around. But this is Turpie's year.
He is one OF the three big men, the others
being Harris and Jones, in the senatorial
silver syndicate" as the Democratic BIZ
metallic League is coming 10 be known,
and is cutting considerable ice. as the
phrase goes. in this convention. Indeed.
one frequently hears the remark that Ii
Indiana had indicated Turpie. instead Of
Matthews. as its choice for the presidential
nomination. 1t would have been compara-
lively easy TO nominate him. There is no
Disgusting the fact that this senatorial
junto exercises enormous influence here and
as they are clannish this influence would
be thrown to Turpie If he were candi-
date. Furthermore, the prominence given
him by the Memphis silver convention.
over which he presided. and the part he
has taken in furthering the interests of
free coinage on the floor of the Senate.
have made his name familiar 10 the silver
enthusiasts of the Southwest and as he is
the only available Democrat in the silver
syndicate" his chances for nomination
would be first rate. But though he could
control these influences for himself. he
cannot use them for Matthews TO any great
extent, although he is working Loyalty TO
that end. However, ii is a fortunate cir
cumstance for Matthews that the health
of Voorhees, has made it hecessary TO put
Turpie in as the main figurehead of his
boom, for the Governor gets more adver-
tising through the fact that people, looking
for Turpie. can find him in Matthews's
headquarters than in any other way. When
the committee of hve." composed Of
Turpie, Harris, Jones, Altgeld and Stone
was formed for the purpose of bulldozing
the national committee into appointing a
temporary chairman TO the liking of the
silver men. Turpie was given further prom
inence and was more sought after.
All this has been little rough on the
newspaper men, as those who have ever
gone against" the Senator for informa-
ton will readily understand. A railroad
official when there is a wreck on his road
is garrulous in comparison with Turpie
when an effort is made TO interview him.
He does not equivocate or apologize. He
simply remarks: II have nothing to say"
and there's an end of Ii. A bright young
man from the interior came to work for
the Inter Ocean during the convention and
the first assignment he got was to inter-
view Turpie. He was given the usual ans
wer, nothing to say" but made up a
perfectly harmless Interview, telling about
the great qualities of Matthews and how
Indiana was for HMM fact just what he
thought Turpie would say if an older man
had been sent to interview him. The Sena-
TOR took care to inform the paper that he
had never talked to it's representative and
a promising career in journalism was
blighted. r. NJ. S.

vention, even TO its most minute details.
1t proposes TO make the platform, to name
the temporary and permanent chairman. to
arrange the rules to suit themselves. and,
of course, to name the candidate. On this
last proposition they are likely to split in
the scramble for spoils: and just here Is
the only opportunity the sound-money peo-
pie will have of accomplishing anything. If
the silverites fall to quarreling and taking
unfair advantage OF each other in the mat
ter of making a nomination. they will pos
sibly be able TO preserve the two-thirds
rule and force the nomination on the least
Objectionable of the silver candidates. But
the free-silver platform they can never
prevent. r. NJ. s.

CLIP MAN ROBBED OF FIFTY THoUs-
AND DoLLARs.-Christopher schrage,
who is seyenty-six years old, and lives
alone at III south Jefferson street,
Chicago, was bound and gagged by
two men yesterday evening, and rob-
bed of money and papers amounting in
value to more than $4,000. The rob.
berv was one of the boldest ever per-
petrated in that city. No arrests were
made, and the police are at sea in the
matter. at the time the robbery oc.
cured Schrage vas slone, and
it was some time before he
was discovered and the police notified.
The old man lives entirely alone, and
mas always kept his money and securi-
ties in safe in rear room in his
house. It was matter of common re-
port that he was in the habit of count
ing his money every evening before
closing up his house for The night. The
robbers wese evidently aware of this
habit of Schrage, and tined their visit
accordingly. They gained an entrance
to tho house by pretending that they
were anxious to rent some poems, and,
as Schrage was showing them through,
they boand and gagged him.
