SILVERITES CAN'T DO 1T.
! Chicago, July 3.-Chairman Harrity
of the democratic national committee
talked private yesterday with a large
number of politicians, gold and silver,
and he was In greatest demand among
all the famous democrats assembled in
Chicago because he was recognized as
the leader of the gold forces until the
arrival of Whitney and Hill. Benja-
min T. Gable had a conference with
| Mr.. Harrity on the temporary organi-
cation question. Neither of them would
say who would be his choice for tempo
rary chairman. The New York lead
ers are expected to settle that ques-
ton. That there is to be gold stand
ard chairman presented by the commit
tee is considered certain
| On this line Chairman Harrity said
to the United Press reporter: 81 don't
think they can turn down the tempo
rary chairman elected by the national
committee. L don't believe the two
thirds rule will be abrogated by the
convention. 1t will not be considered
by the committee. That remains for
the rules committee to pass upon. Our
fight will be made on the platform and
we will do the best we can. The con-
tests will be decided in the usual man
ner, but there are not enough of them
to make fuss about"
| AGAINST FREE SILVER.
Chicago, July 3.-Ex- congressman
Bynum of Indiana, who has engaged
quarters at the Palmer house for the
use of a, gold standard delegation from
Indianapolis, said yesterday: The In
dianapolis sentiment is overwhelming
ly against free silver. I don't expect a
bolt. The Indiana delegates are not
that kind, although four are opposed to
the silver idea, but they might vote for
an independent sound money candi-
date, | look for such a convention
among the sound money democrats,
but it will hardly be called by the
sound money delegates to this conven-
ton. The result of the campaign in
Indiana against free silver was the
practical collapse of the Mathews
boom"
Two hundred sound money men are
expected to arrive from Indianapolis
to-day, of whom Mr. Bynum is the adj
vance guard. Speaking of the pros
| poets OIL the campaign lHlS ltiiir Nii'
| Bynum said the PROBABILITIES favored q
breaking UP of old parties. THE re-
publicans are as badly off as we dem
ocrats," was his comment.
