SILVER COMMITTEE IN COUNCIL
Not Pleased with the Action OF the M
tional Committee.

Not Pleased with the Action Of the Ma
tional Committee.
The silver committee, consisting OF rep
resentatives of the various silver delega-
tons, met Mt the Sherman House and de-
cided to leave the selection of IA temporary
chairman to the silver members of the ma
tionai committee. There was an effort to
secure declaration for Bryan, but it was
stated that Daniel was the choice Of the
silver men on the national committee and
it was generally agreed that it would not
be wise to interfere with the selection.
There was also a canvass of the position
OF the various silver delegations on tho
subject OF a general caucus. The canvass
as far as male indicates that majority
are opposed to such a meeting.
The silver men were not prepared fOF
the announcement Of the selection of Hill
for the position Of temporary chairman
by the national committee. They had
counted confidently upon securing the co.
operation of a sufficient number Of gold
members of the committee to secure the
Recommendation Of Senator Daniel When
the silver committee held its first meeting
its members were eongratulating them
selves upon the probability Of the selection
of Senator Daniel. When they met again
in the evening they showed plainly tina,
they were disappointed.
They asserted more positively than eve

Should there be physical withdrawal
from the convention, however, it is likely
that the boilers will later place a ticket in

matter stands the course is not to walk
out of the convention but to remain until
the close. Then when the silver men have
captured everything and adjourned q con-
ference will be held and arrangements
made for a convention some weeks later of

is becoming apparent that the shrewd gen.
erals on both sides do not desire to widen
the breech between their followers.
They will make every effort to avoid tho
disruption of their party consistent with
the firm maintenance of their opposing
views on the single issue The contest
will be precipitated the moment the gavel
falls today. The gold men had control Of
the national committee despite every eff
fort of the silver men to wrest it from
their grasp. They elected Senator Hin
for temporary chairman notwithstanding
the protests of the silver men. Hill him
Sell was appealed to by his friends among
the silver leaders not to accept. They ex-
planned to him how distasteful it would
be for many of the senator's silver friends
among the delegates who admired and re-
spected him to be obliged to oppose his in
stallation.
But Hill, would not consent. The re-
suit is that the silver men will suggest
Daniel and Hill may be Inundated by de-
feat. 1t is said that If elected Hill Will
greatly surprise those who elected him by
making q speech which, while it would
oppose free coinage would advocate sub
mission to the will Of the majority as one
of the cardinal principles of the Demo
men have their teeth set. There was some
talk of some sort Of high handed parlia.
mentary procedure on Chairman Harrity' 8
part by which Hill could be installed over
the protest of the convention, but good
parliamentarians declare that this il i'm
possible.

| When the New York delegation met last
night it was noticeable that number o.

the Alabama delegation came to Governor
Flower and said: Governor, we hav,

out by voting for Whitney SO as to TAKE
strength away from the silver candidate.
Whitney came over to the New YOrl
meeting and was there for about fifteel
minutes. When he came out he was tOl'
by the Associated Press representative tina
he was credited with not being averse to

HILL SELECTED TO PRESIDE.

National Committee Attends to the Pre-.
liminaries of the Convention.
The national committee has selected q
temporary chairman and passed upon the
contested cases which We're brought be-
fore it, The committee decided to take up
the contested cases first. There was very
little interest in them, with the exception
of the Michigan and Nebraska cases.
These, it WAS expected, would dete rmino
the relative strength of the gold and silver
men OH the committee The Nebraska
case was settled in favor of the gold men
by vote of 20 to 3D. which was about u
test vote, as was shown later by the vote
for the temporary chairman. The prob
abilities are that the convention will seat
the silver delegation.
The action of the committee in seating
the gold delegation from Michigan was a
surprise to the silver men. But one vote
was cast against placing the gold delega-
ton on the temporary roll. and that was
cast by Campau, who is one of the silver
leaders Of Michigan, n most pronounced
silver man, and one who has been EN-
phatic i'll his denunciation of the present
| administration. In view of the threats
| that have been made by the silver men
| that the four Delegates at large from Mich.
igan would be unseated in order to cast
| the vote of that state for silver and secure
| two-thirds majority in the convention,
it remains to be seen what action they
| will take now that the silver men on the
! national committee, with one exception
! voted to scat the gold delegates
The other contests were of minor i'm
| portance and the decision in each case wa.
| in no sense a test OF course the importan
| feature of the meeting was the sci ection O
| temporary chairman for the convention
AS has been generally predicted Senato
Hill received a majority of the votes o
the committee, and today when Chairman
Harrity calls the convention to order h,
will present Hill for temporary chairman
The vote in the cOmmittce-27 to 23-
showed the silver men not satisfied, ant
the announcement was Immediately mad
that a minority report would he presente,
and that Daniel, who was defeated in com
mittee, would be the choice of the silve
men for temporary chairman.
1t means that there will be a fight II
the convention today as soon as the chap
lain finishes his prayer.
The national committee selected 5. 7
Shcerin, Of Indiana, for temporary secrt
tary, and authorized him to designat
such assistant secretaries as he pleases

their determination to secure control e
the temporary organization regardless a
the action of the committee They taxi
the position that the result was secured by
open intimidation. The committee was
attended by representatives from twenty
six states, all Of whom reported that their
delegassons were prepared to follow the
instructions of the leaders designated by
the committee in every move they might
make. 1t developed that it was the plan
of the committee to select men to make all
the important motions which it Is con-
templated may be necessary in the con-
vention and that none but these shall DO
supported by the silver men, whatever the
motion or suggestion.
The night session was devoted almost
exclusively to the subject Of the temporary
craftsmanship. The spirit which pervaded
the meeting was decided pugnacious. and
1t decided to put forth its utmost endeavors
60 score 3 signal winning. On motion Of
O'Donneli, of Colorado, the roll was called
to determine whether majority Of the
delegates were represented at the meeting.
The call developed the fact that those
present had authority to pledge 40 dele
gates. This Is a bare majority, and the
committee Immediately decided that il
was too close for comfort. 1t therefore re
| solved that the situation was such as tc
! demand immediate action to secure assur
ance of greater support.
| About one-third Of the members present
were appointed subcommittee to visi,
the absent delegations and secure further
| pledges. They Immediately started out IN
carriages to scour the town. The silvel
men did not attempt to conceal the fac
that they were somewhat chagrined owe
the fact that there was not u better show
ing. They would not confess to a belle
that their forces were disintegrating il
the least, but they were irclined to com
plain that their committeeman had no
been as jealous and industrious as the.
might have been.
