GOLD MEN ON HAND.
They Plunged Into the Fight With.
out Any Delay.

CHICAGO, July 3.-The gold stand
ard leaders are here. That means that
the fight is on; that the silver men.
who have had the field practically to
themselves, are to be confronted with
arguments on the other side; that they
are now to contest the field with old
and tried politicians; and that the ques-
ton OF the financial policy of the
Democratic party will be thoroughly
canvassed, even If the white metalists
are in the ascendancy and so continue.
There was no band to meet the East
ern gold standard men when thew
came to town Even the local com
mlttee failed to be on hand and Mr.
Whitney was on the curb at the station
signalling for cabs for his party in
stead OF answering a speech of well
come.
Ex-Gov. Roswell P Flower was the
first to arrive and he did not wait to
get the stains Of travel from his per-
son before he had launched into the
fight. The first place he tackled was
the West Virginia headquarters where
he met Delegate Chiffon. He held a
very animated conference with him
and when ne had finished he said: 'I
had an Idea about the spread of this
silver fallacy, and now I have con-
firmed 1t. These West Virginia people
admit that they are not particularly
in favor of this silver business, but
they have some other end to attain.
In West Virginia the Democratic party
has been losing votes to the Popul!sts.
each year a few more. They believe
they can recover this vote by going for
free silver. The situation is the same
all through the country"
A local newspaper man who had en-
tered asked Gov. Flower If It was not
true that there were silver men in his
own home county Of Jefferson in New
York state.

just this, that the farmer is only just
now beginning to feel the effects of the
panic ce 1898. The bankers and finan-
ciers felt 1t the year 1t occurred, but
the farmers just now are feeling tho
strlngency of 1t. and are willing 10
accept any fallacy that they think win
aid them"
Gov. Flower visited the hea adquartcrs
Of the local gold standard contingent
and told the leaders that he was ready
to assist them to the best OF his ability

Gov. Flower was followed by John r.
Fellows, Of New York, who spoke with
great deliberation. He said: II am

great pride to me that I should be able
to leave to my children, as a heritage.
the recollection that their father had
been consistent Democrat But I am
strongly impressed that this movement
against which we are contending
VIOLATES EVERY PRINCIPLE
Of Democracy and is but the vaporings
of wild fanatics"
The tears streamed down Mr.. Fellows
cheeks as he said: 'Tf this dogma OF
reputation is Incorporated into theplat-
form Of the Democratic party, l must
leave that party and forever. AS have
said, am Democrat. I have voted
and worked and expended my energies
with and for the party. I have been as
faithful and consistent to Its principles
as the party has been. But while I
have always expected to remain Dem
ccrat, / cannot, gentlemen, accept the
degradation that the following Of this
silver fallacy means"
AS Col. Fellows sat down the room
rang with applause. A motion was
then adopted to the effect that all of
the gold men meet avery morning at
1G o'clock, at the Palmer house. to ar
range for missionary work. and that
a conference similar to that held tc-
night be convened every evening at
the Auditorium at o'clock. The
meeting then adjourned.
Twice during the meeting Senator
Hill, of New York was called for bet
declined to make any remarks, saying
that he did not believe in crossing
bridges until he reached them.
When the gold conference closed at
midnight the consensus of opinion,
gauged by the views presented, was
that the party would be defeated if 1t
adopted a free coinage platform. There

CHICAGO, July st did not take
the gold standard people from the East
very long to get actively to work to-
night. No sooner had VIM. G. Whitney
gone to his room than he wrote per-
sonal notes addressed to the leaders
of all the states opposed to silver, who
had a representative here. These notes
requested that the gold standard peo-
pie meet him, and others Of the East
ern men, in a parlor Of the Auditorium

ton might be devised for the gold cam
paign.

National Committee VIII Name the
Man Ii PIeaxes.

CHICAGO. July. s.-Tt has been de-
termined, as far as such matter can,
in advance of the meeting of the nation
al committee, that the committee will
select for temporary chairman some
man who IS not identified with the sill
yer movement. although he may have
leanings towards silver. 1t is apparent
from the talk of the members of the
committee who are here that they do
not like the terms which the silver men
laid down to the; subcommittee and
they feel that the national committee
should not be dictated to in this matter
by some outside organization.

CHICAGO, July 3.-The silver dele
gates in the city held brief caucus
at the Sherman house tonight to take
into consideration the advisabilily of
naming man for tenn o,ary chairman
of the convention, but postponed action
until Monday. The only affirmative
action taken consisted in the adoption
of a plan suggested. by Hon. o. w
Powers, Of Utah, to bring the silver

awaiting such opportunities as may
present themselves, but neither is as
yet considered in any way formidable.
The gold standard men are not de-
voting much consideration to the ques-
tion of who shall be put forward to
oppose the silver candidates. The pic
ture of Gov. Pattison, Of Pennesyl-
vania was
NAILED TO THE WALL
of the Pennsylvania headquarters to-
day by the direction of Chairman Har-
rity, and the general impression is that
the gold standard strength will be con-
centrated upon him. The arrival of the
New York gold standard leaders and
Secretary Whitney, Senator Hill, Gov.
Flower, Col John r. Fellows and ex-
Mayor Grant this afternoon was gen
orally awaited by the gold standard
contingent and their coming threw both
life and spirit into them. Controller of
the Currency EckelS, the representative
of the administration, has been quite
lively up to this time, his allies in
Illinois and Indiana, having been able
to do nothing. Until the gold men con-
ferred tonight they were practically
without any plans. The arrival of the
New York leaders, all of whom are po-
litical generals of firmness and sagac-
ity, will precipitate the fight, but while
great things are whispered about the
hotel corridors all of them positively
admit that they are beaten.
Under Mr.. Whitney's direction, the
delegates will be carefully canvassed
and warned Of the result of the adop-
ton of silver plank, but the lamp of
hope burns low. 1--WE shall at least
have the satisfaction of explaining
fully our position" said Mr.. Eckels,
"and will place the responsibility for
the future where 1t belongs"
A big Sound money mass-meeting
has been arranged for tomorrow night.
The national committee, which stands
~ to % against the silver men, will not
decide on its selection for temporary
chairman until Monday, but there is
strong disposition among some of the
gold standard men to insist on naming
the chairman as a right, and all sorts
of high handed schemes are talked of.
but the silver men are determined to
take control at the start, and unless
the selection is satisfactory to them,
they will contest it on the floor and in
sist on choosing their own man. In
deed, the silver senators have already
fixed upon William j. Bryan, of Ne
braska, for temporary chairman, and
Harris, of Tennessee, for permanent
chairman. Mr.. Bryan, who has been
dubbed 'The Boy Orator Of the Platte"
is an orator Of ability, and is expected

CHICAGO, July BIN all probability
Hon. W. J. Bryan, Of Nebraska, will
be temporary and Senator Harris per-
manent chairman of the Democratic
convention. Unless the present pro-
gram is changed they will be desig-
mated for these places by the silver
delegates. The selection has not been
fully made, but the canvass of the
situation, which has been in progress
at the Sherman house ever since the
first meeting of the representative sill
yer Democrats has resulted on the su-
perior availability of these gentlemen
for the respective places being agreed
upon.
Mr.. Bryan meets the requirements
announced from the fact that the
temporary chairman must be a man
who can present the issues of the cam
paign from a free silver standpoint,
in way that can command the atten-
ton of the country, and sound the
keynote of the campaign. He is fin

said he was opposed to having the nat
ional committee swerve from its usual
custom in the selection of temporary
chairman, and if the convention does
not like the committees selection, it
will have the right to vote in another
way. 1t seems to be the opinion that

AN EPISODE MARRIAGE.

IN THE FIRST PERSON-By Maria Louise
POOL Harper & Brothers, New York: price
81 25. For sale by A. M Robertson, Post street,
City.
This is tale of love and fame, with the
scene laid in New England, where the writer
seems at home in delineations of the country
people OF that land. The girl who tells the
story in the first person is Wilhelmina Arm
strong whom her intimates call "Billy" for
short Her father is a New England horse
trader, whose not very admirable peculiarities
she describes as frankly as If it was the third
person telling the story instead of the first. A
great operate singer, Miss Leonora Runciman,
who is a woman of whims, discovers that Billy
has voice with possibilities, and takes a
fancy TO train her and have her as companion
and protege. The novice learns too well to
suit the teacher. Jealous of being outdone by
her own pupil Miss Runciman shows her dis
like SO plainly that Wilhelmina was too proud
to stay in the company. She Immediately
takes the train for home. Miss Runciman's
nephew, who is singer in her opera COM
pany. boards the same train. He and Billy
were in love with each other and he persundes
her 10 marry him Immediately. Some months
later she learns that this man, Vane Hildreth,
had wife living in Paris at the time of his de-
ceiving marriage with Wilhelmina. Now Leo
nora Runciman's better nature shows itself
and she is sincerely sorry for the deceived girl
She gives Billy $4,000 with which to go 10
Europe and study music In the farewell in
terview OF the one-time lovers she said, "You
deceived me because you loved me So" On
this sentence two very different interpreta-
tions might be put, and we are left in doubt as
to whether she spoke in irony OF In the deepest
sympathetic kindness. His farewell sentence
was, miss Armstrong, you can regard our ac-
Quaintanee as slight episode in your life."

In the stories narrated by Professor Brun he
has followed the broad lines laid down by
older writers OF imaginative stories for the
young. He presents to us the gallant youth of
noble mien and heart who sets forth to seek
fortune, who performs a kindness to a flock
of geese or q swarm of flies and is by them
assisted to wed a kings daughter. These and
similar improbable incidents are narrated in
a style that will appear to the young reader
with force equaling that created by a
perusal of the adventures of Ali Baba or
Aladdin.
We heartily welcome Professor Bruins work
in the direction to which his talents have led
him and shall be glad to see more of it. Men
ton should be made of the work done by
Ernest c. Peixotto, who has ably seconded the
efforts of the author in his graphic illustra-
tions. The Californian artist has caught the
spirit of the stories and the pictures will add
much to the interest of the work. The press
and mechanical work generally has been well
attended to by Mr.. William Doxey, under
whose superintendent these tales are pub
lished. As gift book for the holidays, 'FTales
of Languedoc" viii doubtless hold a prom
inent place. 1t is certainly one of the best
books of folklore which it has ever been our
privilege to inspect.
