THEIR WOUNDS OPENED AFREsH
BY BLACKBURN.
whitney. of New York, an Interlop-
err, Not Having Been Sent to the
Convention.

CHICAGO, July S.-The gold men are
angry this morning and they have been
holding conferences. They claim the
silver men are unseating delegates
with no other apparent cause than
simply to aid them in pushing their
plans through and that they nave
thrown Democratic precedence to the
winds. Hill. Whitney. Coudert, Nation
al Committeeman Sheehan and Con-
gresham Sulzer find it difficult to stem
the tide of anger in the New York
delegation, and an outbreak of any
kind may lead to a bolt. It is pretty
safe to assume the leaders win not go
out, no matter what their future action
may be, but some followers may.
Senator Blackburn, of Kentucky,
said this morning: You will notice
the men who made incendiary speeches
advocating boiling the ticket and plat
form are men whose states have no
gold representation and who are nc's
delegates. l am told John P. Irish, of
California, made a brilliant and point
ed remark in that direction and Gen
eral Bragg and Franklin McVeagh also
were for a bolt. I should like to know
by what right they interfere with the
work of the delegat ties sent there by the
people. Even Whitney, Of New York,
is an interloper, not having been sent
as a delegate to this convention. What
right have such people to assume to
run this convention.
1t is only fair to say that no mention
of boiling the convention was made at
the gold mems meeting last night ex-
cept when Irish, of California, said in
closing his speech: well, if some
thing happens. 1 know what l snail
do Coudert, Governor Russell, of
Massachusetts and Whitney were
averse to hasty or in-tempered action,
no matter what occurred.
General Bragg made statement that
he would not support a silver pat
form or ticket. There was some talk
of an independent ticket, but it finally
resulted in the adoption of a resolu-
ton for a committee of one from each
state to feel the pulse of the people
and report back in August to Senator
Gray, of Delaware. When the New
York delegation met after midnight
there was some more bitter feeling, as
the action of the silver men on the
Michigan contest became known. The
meeting lasted until 4 o'clock and adj
journed at 8 O'Clock this morning.
Coudert, Henry PURIFY and Congress-
man Sulzer deprecated a bolt Perry
Belmont, Roswell P. Flower and a few
others said it was the only recourse for
the gold Democrats. The meeting broke
up rather disorderly without ACTON TO
await consultation with Hill and Shee-

Then the cry was turned to Rus

sachusetts governor sat impressively
in his chair and his friends gave him

Finally ex-governor Overmeyer of

and appeased the appetite of the crowd

and at last, with evident reluctance,
the Illinois governor was urged for

Great curiosity existed to see him.
Some delegates crowded to the front on
the stage, not because his voice was
weak. as his clear tones reached out to
the furthermost limits of the hall, but
to get a closer view of the man. With
great deliberation he opened with the
statement that he had not come here

it proceeded, while men jumped on
chairs and waved hats, canes, hand
kerchiefs, and shouted themselves
hoarse. 1t was eighteen minutes be

bring the convention back to order.
Then, a moment later, the chair an
nounced that the silver men had a de-
cisive majority, and there was a repe-
tition of the wild demonstration, this
time by the silver men, lasting nine
teen minutes. 1t was evident that the
leaders bided their time for council,
and they determined not to urge the
platform to a final issue tonight. With
the forcible speech of Senator White
on taking the chair, the permanent
organization was perfected, and, at
$3.50, the convention adjourned until
