the vote was largely effected by the de-
sire to have the usual Saturday recess.
After this diversion Mr.. Hill pro-

the law of 1875, showing to what ex-
tent the process of bonds could be used
for redemption purposes, aud said dis
aster and chaos would have overtaken
the government had not the President
and Secretary of the Treasury exer-
cised the au.hority given them under
that law to issue bonds.
Referring to the Wilson bill he re-
gretted that one had not been framed
to raise 81 fficient revenue, the lack of
which to meet expenses compelled the
issuance of bonds by the government.

mr. Mahon argued that these claims

ing to one OF the largest audiences
ever gathered here.
In or interview Tillman eaid in an
swer to question: "If Whitney, of
New York, is nominated at Chicago [
would walk out OF the convention; If
Morrison is nominated 1 would feel like
walking out, but I would wait until I
looked up his record. I do not know
where Morrison stands on the silver
question and have not seen anybody in
recent years who does"
An immense audience greeted Senator
Tillman. The speaker made the reddest
and hottest speech ever made here. He
said that the Republicans who voted for
Cleveland for change jumped from the
frying pan into the fire and that is was
the hottest fire he ever felt.

MAY PUT IN TWO TICKETS.
Alleged Democratic Plot to Capture the
Presidency

Alleged Democratic Plot Co Capture the
Presidency.
sensational piece of political news
was discussed at the Capitol yesterday,
and denied by no one thought to be in
the deal
1t is no less than q scheme matured
by combination of leading Democrats
to capture the Presidency by organizing
q split at the Chicago convention. In
brief the iaea is to pus two Democratic
tickets in the field and then have the
TWO wings OF the party come together
In the electoral college and select q
candidate Of that party, provided. OF
course. that the so-called regular Dsm-
ocrats and the boiling Democrats have
jointly sufficient number of electoral
votes to turn the trick.
The story goes that the silver leader
hrst brought the .dea to the front and
that they submitted 1t to the "sound
money people and received the word
to 90 ahead, with the result thkt there
is said to be thorough understanding
now between both factions on TIE SUBJ
ject
10 all appearances the struggle for
supremacy in the Chicago convention Is
TO be kept up from now until the 18th
OF July, the day of the assemb bling of
the convention. II the silver mon can
control the convention silver man
is to be nominated on q 16 to plat.
form. If the sound money folks are
the stronger they will select one Of
their number.
Then will follow bolt by the losing
faction, rumF convention and two
democratic tickets, one on sound
money platform and the other on a sill
YER platform. The sound money ticket
will be run to win in States where that
sentiment ia supposed to control, and
the silver ticket in States where the
masses are believed 70 be of that wsv OF
thinking.
The ticket will rot be Brought into
antsgonism except in States that are
overwhelmingly Repu blican, and where
the general result could not by any
possibility be jeopardized by friendly
struggle for points
The theory underlying this elaborate
and far-reachin< preparation for party
triumph is growing conviction that 1t
will be Impossible to reconcile the two
wings of the party in the convention and
that efforts in that direction may as
we'll be abandoned first as last; that the
question muet be fought out In the party
and that the only way it can be done
without committing willful suicide will
be by the plan suggested; that the count
will show beyond all question how the
Democratic masses stand, and that with
the verdic' thus registered the electors
can consolidate their vote upon ticket
committed to sn agreed policy.
1t Is further urged IN behalf OF tn @
plan IS above outlined that lite adoption
will give the Democ living show to
control the Fifty-fifth Congress as we'll
