Owingsville outlook. [volume] (Owingsville, Ky.) 1879-192?, 1896-07-09

ample material for exciting discussions
between the advocates of both metals
and the Pennsylvania gold men put up
a lively discussion for the edification of
throngs gathered in their rooms
Many members of the Pennsylvania
delegation, while declaring their I'M
faltering allegiance TO Mr.. Pattison,
freely admit that they see no hope for
his success. Their aim rather is to
gather about him the gold men, and as
a tribute, make him the choice of that
element.
Considerable personal feeling has
been aroused by the appearance of
Gov. Boies here Saturday. and the man
ayers of other leading candidates. are
openly declaring that it is contrary to
precedent for a candidate for the prcsi-
dency to personally attend the conven-
ton. While Senator Blackburn and
John X. Mclean are here. they come as
delegates-at-large of their respective
states, while Mr.. Boies is not on the
Iowa delegation.
At the Bland headquarters the state
ment was made with emphasis that Mr..
Bland would not SO violate precedents
and proprieties as to come to Chicago
during the convention. At the Indiana
headquarters Senator Turpie said with
emphasis that Gov. Matthews would
not come to Chicago to take any part
in his candidacy. The friends of Mr..
Teller made the same observation.
After a day of hand shaking with his
friends Gov. Boies returned toh his home
at Waterloo, Ia, Sunday.
The gold democrats who are sup
porting VIM. c. Whitney in the bust
ness which brought him TO Chicago
held an enthusiastic meeting Sunday
and discussed matters bearing upon
the treatment they might expect i'm the
convention from the dominant silver
men. The feature of the conference
/ which. like that of Friday night, was
/ conducted behind closed doors in the
| Auditorium hotel, was a speech deliv-
cred 10y Mr. Whitney at the opening.
| lie paid his compliments To Gov. Alt
geld, who, he claimed, was the dom
| mating spirit among the silveriteS, and
ended his remarks with this declara-
ton made in a ringing voice:
Il take il for granted that no man in
this room will ever consent To the sub
ordination of the welfare of the coun-
try and the integrity of his party. for
any consideration"
Loud cheers followed and it was
some minutes before the applause died
away.
Ii is estimated that over 225 persons
were in attendance, the room being
| inadequate TO hold the assemblage.
Among the first to arrive were 60 Indi-
anans wearing conspicuous badges,
bearing the inscription Indiana Sound
Money Democrats"

ed to recommend Senator John w.
Daniel, of Virginia.
Senator White, of California, had
been previously selected by them, but
when the delegation called upon him
10 confer about the matter he said
that on account of other engagements
it would be out of the question for him
to serve.
