WILLIAMS A CANDIDATE.
An Eastern Silver Man for Temporary
Chairman.

CHICAGO, July 5.-The Massachu-
setts contingent, siXty-five strong, came
in tonight, and with them George Fred
Williams, delegate at large, whose re-
cent utterances favorable TO silver have
given much offense to the Massachu-
SettS gold men who came ahead of the
delegation. Mr. Williams had no sooner
landed in town than rurnor began to
associate his name with the Temporary
Craftsmanship. There was basis for the
ruan0r, for some of the Massachusetts
men say that Williams is a candidate
for the position and eiies for success on
the fact that he is an Eastern man

be friendly to the white metal

LOUISIANA DELEGATES.
Silver lien Address Them on Behalf
of Their Candidates.

CHICAGO, July 5.-Just as the Louis
lana delegation was called to order to-
night in their headquarters, they were
visited by a represe ntaitiOn from the
delegation from Texas, who We're out
doing missionary work in behalf of Can
didate Bland. 1t had been told around
the hotel that the delegation We're un-
decided as to their preference for a
Presidential candidate, and the friends
of the Missouri man have pressed into
service the Texas delegation, who are
here under Instructions to labor and to
vote for BANDS nomination. One of
the Texans made an address of some
length setting forth the reasons which
to them were clinching in favor of
Bland'S nomination. Later the Louisiana
delegates were visited by Senators Du-
bois and Pettigrew and Representative
ToWne of Minnesota, who is at the head
of the free silver boiling Republicans
OF that State. These gentlemen called to
impress upon the delegates the availa-
bility of Senator Teller as a candidate.
Beyond e1ecting Governor McEnery
Chairman the delegation did nothing at
the executive session and adjourned

MICHIGAN DELEGATION.
A Compromise Proposed, But Not
Yet Accented

CHICAGO, July 5.-One of the in
teresting developments of the day was
that of a possible compromise in the
fGatter of the contest over the Michigan
delegation. The silver men feel that
while they were outgeneraled in the
Wolverine State by ex-Postmaster
Don NJ Dickinson, large majority of
the Democratic party of that State are
supporters of the free coinage of silver,
and there has been some talk of at
tempting to Gust the Dickinson dele
cation, replacing them by one in favor
CT free coinage. The proposition out
lined to-day was that the delegation
should be voted by Dickinson in favor
of platform declaring for a mainten-
ance of the gold standard and that af-
terwards the individual preferences of
the delegates for President should be
recorded. There was some objection
upon the part of the silver men to the
execution of this compromise. They
argued that it would be foolish to enter
into such an agreement, for the rea-
son that the delegation was bound by
instruction of the State Convention to
act under the unit rule and that after
the tWenty-eigiht votes would be re-
corded in favor of the gold standard
TO power existed in the convention it
self to release the delegation from its
obligation to observe the directions Of
the State Convention and the majority
could still cast the twenty eight votes
against a free silver candidate

ALL FOR BRYAN.
Free Silver Nebraska Delegates on
the Road to Chicago.

LINCOLN (Neb), July J.-The Ne
hraska free silver delegation to Chicago,
headed by ex-Congressman Bryan and
an enthusiastic crowd of shouters, left
this morning over the Northwestern
and will make a speedy run to the
Windy City. There were fourteen cars
gaily decorated, and before the Mis-
souri, Valley is crossed IL is expected
they will be crowded. They feel conf
dent of securing seats in the convention,
as opposed to the gold delegation al
ready on the ground, headed by Ma
tional Committeeman Tobias Castor
and backed by Secretary of Agriculture
Morton After this preliminary fight is
settled TO their satisfaction, as the free
silver men confidently predict 1t will
be. the members of the Nebraska dele
cation will begin canvass looking to
Bryan as a Presidential candidate, and
they make no effort to conceal the fact
that it will be pushed with energy and
that is the sole mission of the large
number of visitors, aside from the dell
egates and aIternates who accompanied
their leader. The movement would have
begun sooner had Bryan given his con-
sent. His friends point to him as one
of the foremost champions of the white
metal in the West, who would be an
ideal leader The headquarters of the
Nebraska delegation in Chicago will
be at the Clifton House
The record-union., 1896-07-06

ter any such caucus. They want the
convention to settle the matter, and
they promise to abide by its decision.
Several free silver delegates, includ-
ing among their number the Executive
Committee which called on the Ma
tlonal Committee a few days ago, met
this afternoon in one of the parlors OF
the Sherman House and carefully con-
sidered the question of the temporary
Craftsmanship of the convention. The
gentlemen were in session for more
than an hour but adjourned without
having reached any conclusion.
The committee will meet again to-
morrow at 9 o'clock, when the choice
will be made, and any name agreed
upon will be laid before the National
Committee, which convenes at that
hour. A prominent member of this free
silver committee stated this evening
that their suggestion ought to be inter-
preted as a command, and if the Ma
tlonal Committee saw fit not to obey,
the fight would be simply transferred
to the floor of the convention, where
nothing but defeat would meet the Ma
tional Committee.

CALIFORNIA DELEGATES.
They Arrive in Chicago and Open
Their Headquarters.

CHICAGO, July 5.-The California
delegation with Senator White arrived
this morning and at once opened head
quarters at the Great Northern Hotel
a lot of California wines have been
sent on here for use on this occasion.
A meeting was promptly held and w
w. Foote was made Chairman of the
delegation. The other representative
on the convention committees will be
selected at a meeting to be held to-
morrow morning. Newlands of Nevada
appeared before the committee and ad-
vised the nomination of Senator Teller,
but nothing was said by the delegation
to show that he Recommendation met
with favor.
Senator White has thrown cold water
on the plan to bring him forward as q
candidate. He said he was 500 miles
from the State Convention when it in
structed for him and he looked upon
that action as only the desire of the
convention to say something compli-
mentary about him. He was not, he
said, a candidate, and his name would
not be presented to the convention if
he could avoid it. Despite the state
ment OF Senator White there appears
to be a determination on the part OF
his colleagues to place him in nomina-
ton
