There was great deal of talk today
favorable to plank that snacks largely
Of "Ilngolsm. This afternoon delegate
who has been selected US nom Der of mo
CON mlttee on resolutions; who will
probably be its chairman, said that the
Democratic party had always been the
American party, and it was only during
the administration of President Cleye-
land that the Amerioansm of the party
hha been cast aside 1t is. therefore,
quite likoty that tbs foreign policy of the
present administration will, by indiree-
ton at least, be repudiated.
If the programme agreed upon by these
gentlemen does not so amiss, the
Sympathy of the Democratic party will
be for suffering Cuba and a demand

much attention, Immediately after the
arrival of the delegation at noon. On
the wall adjoining the entrance, there
was displayed large banner on which
WAS insert bed we will pay one hun
bred cents in gold for fifty cent American
standard dollars.
| The first general caucus of delegates
| and alternates favorable to tho candidacy
of Mr.. Bland was held in tho club room
of the Sherman house this afternoon and
after session lasting an hour and
| half, adjourned to meet again at ten.
| The object of the Bland managers was
20 get acquainted with the delegates
from other states than Missouri, and be-
gin the work of formulating the conyen-
ton plan of procedure, rather than make
a full test of BANDS strength. Twelve
| states responded to the roll call and one
hundred delegates instructed for the
| Missourian were present. From the
| lSuF6S SGuU bD UDS b6Cr6UtirJ, gov
| dltioDal VOTES were put down as GER
tainty on the first ballot. A letter was
read from San Francisco, stating that q
silver club composed of Republicans,
Populists and Democrats was being
formed one thousand strong, whose
choice was Bland for President and Nor
| gan Of Alabama, White of California or
Sibley of Pennsylvania for Vice Presi-
dent.
| The Pennsylvania delegates held q
meeting this evening. This meeting was
unanimous in action and VIM. i. Harrity
was reelected as memb of the
national Democratic committee. The
members declared themselves heartily in
| favor of the candidacy of Robert X.
Pattison and James L. Beck was selected
to place him in nomination. Harrity was
chosen chairman Of the delegation, and
| Robert E. Wright member of the COM
mitteo on resolutions. After the meeting
Delegate at Large Robert w. Wright,
said: 'sThe delegation from Pennsylvania
is instructed as unit but should that
rule be abrogated, feel certain that not
more than two Of the delegates will cast
their vote for silver" The movement to
secure the election of Represen tative ].
W. Bailey of Texas, as temporary chair
man Of the convention was inaugurated
| at meeting of the Utah delegation to-
day. The Texas congressman has been
under the care of a physician for throat
| troubles, who says his condition is not
such as to justify him in undertaking the
duties of the position.
Senator Hill was visited today by q
number of prominent silver men, who
used all sorts of arguments to induce tho
New York Senator to withhold permits
sion for use of his name as temporary
chairman of the national committee.
Senator Hill was told it would be unwise
to allow his name TO be presented, only
to be bowled over by the silver majority,
which is expected TO rule the convention.
He listened respectfully to all arguments
presented, but was unaffected in his
| position by what was said to him.
| He decline ed to make any statement for
publication as to his attitude, but Others
closely to him said he was not the man
to give up fight on the evening OF a
battle. 1t Is believed that Senator Hill
is the one man who can prevent bolt by
the sound money men of the East if the
free silver platform is adopted, and a
| free silver man nominated. If, the Sem
ator was to bow to the wishes of the sill
yer leaders and refuse the use of his
name for temporary chairman. he would
no longer be in a position to check a
bolt of the gold delegates. If the national
I com mittee at its meeting tomorrow de-
cides to present the name of Senator Hill
for temporary chairman, it may be
authoritiyely stated that Senator HilPs
stand and the overthrow of the pro-
gramme mapped ont by the national
committee will bring matters to a head
between the gold and silver men at the
! ope ming of the convention Tuesday.
The Pennsylvania delegates worked
heroically during the Gay, in behalf or
Ex-Governor Robert Z. Pattson, their
choice for the Presidency. Many MEM
bers of the Pennsylvania delegates, while
declari rg allegiance to PaJt3son, freely
admit they see no hope of his success.
The following figures by BANDS
friends show his strength: Arkansas,
IS; Colorado, 8; Idaho, g.; Illinois, AS;
| Kansas, 20; Missouri, A; Montana. o.;
Oregon, s; Texas, 30; Utah, 8; Washing
ton, S. Wyoming, 6; New Mexico, 81;
Arizona, 6; Indian Territory, 6; OkloA
homa, 6. Total, $50.
This summing up of Bland's. sup
porters Is 80 votes below the esttmat 9
given at the afternoon caucus of the
Bland delegates.
