thing approaching a scene in the Ten
nessee delegation meeting this morn
ing. Senator Cockreil of Missouri pre-
sented BANDS claims, and ex-senator
Patrick Walsh of Georgia championed
Boies. The delegates from Tennessee
We're understood to be equally divided as
to the merits of these candidates. In
the course of the discussion Governor
Boies' recently published letter was
read in which he advocated unlimited
coinage. but limited legal tender for the
American silver product. This aroused
the ire of Senator Harris, who de-
nounced the action of Boies. Harris
severe criticism of Boies weakened some
of the other delegates, who had been in
clined towards Boies, and it is said
somewhat weakened his chances and in
| creased those of Bland. No action was
taken, the understanding being that the
delegation would meet again to settle
the question of a candidate. The strug-
| gle promises to be interesting.
The Wyoming delegation favored a
tariff for revenue only, free silver and
| declared themselves for Bland
The Texas men had a little row over
| the question of Temporary Chairman
| ship of the convention, some of the dele
| gates wanting to pass a resolution for
| Bryan, but it raised so much opposition
| that it was tabled. The Texas dele
gates indorsed the candidacy of Bland
for President, and elected Congressman
| Bailey to second Blands nomination.
| The Missouri men feel so positive of
BANDS nomination that at the caucus
| this morning it was decided not to elect
National Committeeman, but to leave
| the place open until after the conven-
ton, when they propose to permit Bland
to select man favorable to himself
