Stands for the Free. Unlimited and. II Me-
cessary. Independent Coinage of silver.

Chicago. July 6.-Mr. Samuel Com
pers, president of the American Feder-
alton of Labor, has issued the follow
ing:
To the Public:-This mornings pa
pers publish a despatch purporting to
have been sent by me, July 4th, from
Indianapolis, and sent to Baria Wilk-
ins. endorsing the candidacy of Mr..
John r. Mclean for the nomination for
the presidency. | beg to say that the
despatch is a clumsy forgery, falsiiitd
to deceive, and is a vicious attempt
to use my name and position in the Ia
Dor movement for a purpose foreign to
the acts and methods of the American
Federation Of Labor.
Il should say that this is not writ
ten to prejudice Mr.. McLsan's candida
cy or to further that of any other gen
tleman, but in the interest of our
cause. the members and devotees of
which have a right to insist that, as
their executive officer, shall in no way
influence the choice.
"The A. F. of l.. stands for the free
and unlimited coinage of silver at the
recognized ratio of 16 to L. and if nee
essary Independent CT other nations.
This is our declaration; we have no
choice of candidates.
Very respectfully.
SAMUEL GOMPERS."

the Michigan and Nebraska cases.
These. it was expected, would deter
mine the relative strength of the gold
and silver men on the committee. The
Nebraska case was settled in favor of
the gold men by vote of 26 to %, which
was about a test vote, as was shown
later by the vote for the temporary
ch9irman
The probabilities are that the con-
vention will seat the silver delegation.
The action Of the committee in session
seating the gold delegation from Mich
igan was a surprise to the silver men.
But one vote was cast against placing
the gold delegation on the temporary
roll. and that was cast by Mr.. Campau,
who is one Of the silver leaders of Mich
iean. most pronounced silver man,
and one who was emphatic in his de-
nunciation of the present adminlstra-
tion.
Mr.. Thomas. Of Colorado, made the
motion to seat the gold delegation, and
AZ members of the Nationa! Committee
voted to do so. In view of the threats
lillL nave Bttu lUdut Wy llC olA'Ni AiNH
that the four delegates at large from
Michigan would be unseated, in order
to cast the vote of that State fer silver
and secure a twO-thirds majority in the
convention. it remains to be seen what
action they Will take now that the silver
men on the National Committe with
cne exception voted to seat the gold
delegates.
The other contests were of minor i'm
portance. and the decision in each was
in no sense a test.
OF course the important feature of the
meeting of ule committee was the selec-
tion of a temporary chairman for the
convention. AS has been generally
predicted. Senator Hill received a ma
iority Of the votes of the committee. and
tomorrow when Chairman Harrity
calls the convention to order he will
present Mr. Hill for temporary chair
man. The vote in the committee, q
to %. showed that the silver men were
not satisfied and the announcement was
Immediately made that a minority re-
Port will be presented and that Mr.
Daniel, who was defeated in committee,
will be made the choice of the sily y~r
men for temporary chairman.
The committee completed its work
by selecting the minor officers, 10 which
there will be no objection.

AN INTERESTING CONTEST
Was That Waged for the West Virginia
National Committeemanship.
From Q Staff orrespondent.

From Staff Correspondent.
Chicago, H., July 6.-The fight in the
West Virginia delegation on National
Committeeman was very interesting
one and it took the best part of two
hours TO settle it in favor of Hon. John
T. McGraw.
Mr.. Chiffon was an active candidate
for the place up to the hour when the
delegation met, but at that time he
recognized that the victory which was
probably once within his grasp had
slipped away from him and he with
drew from the contest.
Mr.. Taney was in no sense an active
candidate but still his friends in the
delegation insisted on presenting his
name and voting for him until the adop
ton of the resolution to drop the lowest
men in rotation.
The Chiffon men named Mr.. Cape
hart in the hope of electing him over
McGraw, but with the fight thus mar
rowed down the result was scarcely
doubtful at any time to those possessed
Of inside information and the selection
of Mr.. McGraw was eminently satisfac-
tory to all concerned.
When the question of a selection of
chairman Of the delegation came up,
Mr.. st. Clair was nominated as well
as Mr.. Wilson. but Capt. st. Clair with
drew and Wilson was chosen as set
forth in the detailed report.
Hon. John A. Howard was nominat-
ed for the Committee on Resolutions,
when that question came up, but he
withdrew in favor of Mr.. Kincaid, and
tie selection of the latter was made
unanimous. Mr. Howard could have
had the place had he remained in the
field. There were no contests over the
other committees. They generally be-
ing selected by acclamation.

Chicago, July 6.-The National Com
mittee to-day selected a temporary
chairman and passed upon the contest
cd cases which were brought before it.
Unlike the action Of the Republican
committee in st. Louis, it refused to ad-
nit the press 10 the sessions of the
committee, and its proceedings were
entirely bshind clozed doors. The COM
mittee decided to take up the contested
cases first There was very little in
terest in them, with the exception OF

SILVER MEN SURPRISED
By the Selection of senator Hill. Though
Not at all Discouraged-Will Carry the
Fight Into the Convention.

by the Selection of senator Hill. Though
Not at all Discouraged-Wil Carry the
Fight Into the Convention.
Chicago. July 6.-The silver men were
not prepared for the announcement Of
the selection of Senator Hill for the po-
sition of temporary chairman by the
national committee. They had counted
confidently upon securing the co-opera-
ton of a sufficient number of gold mem-
bers of the committee to secure the rec
ommendatiol of Senator Daniel.
When the silver committee held its
first meeting members were congratu-
lating themselves upon the probability
of the selection of Senator Daniel. When
they met again in the evening they
showed plainly that they were disap-
pointed, but they were not noticeabiy
discouraged.
They asserted more positively than
ever their determ nation to secure con-
troll of the temporary organization re-
gardless of the action of the committee.
They take the position that the result
was secured by open intimidation.
The Interview between Mr.. Whitney
and Committeeman Norris. of the Dis
trict of Columbia, was referred to as
specimen of the god meas tactics and
was stated in the meeting that Mr.. Whit
ney had even threatened to ruin Mr..
Norris in his business if he should per-
sist in his determination to support a
silver man for chairman. The plan OF
the silver ren will now be TO have a
report prepared by the minority of the
committee presenting their choice for
the position and to seat him at al haz-
ards if it appears that a majority of the
committee are with them, as they are
sure il will be.
The committee was attended by rep
resentatives from 26 States, all OF whom

WHITNEY ON THE FLOOR.

Chicago, July 6.-Wm. C. Whitney
will be in a delegates seat on the floor
of the convention tomorrow. He has
been placed in the seat Of A. p. Fitch,
Of the Fifteenth New York district, and
will thus be able to take part in the
debate that viii follow the silver mems
move. This is an unexpected thing, he
having not been elected as delegate
from New York upon his own expressed
request when the State Convention
met there.

developed that it was the plan OF the
committee to select men 20 make all
the important motions which it is con-
templated may be necessary IN the con-
vention, snd that none but these shall
be supported by the silver men whatever
the motion or suggestion.
