S. Il. WHITE CHOSEN
The Senator from California To
Be Permanent Chairman.
HIS SELECTION CAME AS A SURPRISE
Senator Harris Name Dropped Because
1t Was Not Considered Desirable
To Select Both Chasrmen
from the South.

Chicago, July S.-When the commit
tee on permanent organization assem-
bled at o'clock last evening the slate
which it was understood had been pre-
pared was already and was a surprise.
Instead of the veteran Isham G. Har-
riS of Tennessee, who has been con-
ceded to be the probable choice, sena-
tor Stephen M. White of California was
substituted. The only reason men
toned informally for the change was
that the members thought it undesira-
bic to have both the presiding officers
from the southern states George {.
Hilbert OF Kentucky placed Senator
Whites name in nomination, and brief
ly presented his special qualifications
for the Office. Gordon Wood of New
Hampshire moved to make Senator
Hill of New York the choice of the
committee. roll call was taken and
the vote resulted in the selection of
Senator White by 33 to 6. The six
states which voted for Senator Hill
were Delaware, Massachusetts, Mary
land, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania
and New Jersey. A significant feature
of the meeting was the absence of f.
r. Coudert, representing New York,
and James Adds of Connecticut Four
other states and territories were not
represented. Hon. w. j. Bryan of
Nebraska was in the committee room
some time, and there was considerable
talk in his absence of making him the
permanent presiding officer of the con-
vention. At the suggestion of his
friends, however, his name was not
presented, for the reason that he
might be a candidate for president be
fore the convention.
Thomas j. Cogan of Cincinnati was
the choice of the committee for secre
was supposed to have been picked out
for Major Towles, the aged but
energetic secretary of the bimetallic
committee but he did not muster
enough votes at the time when
they counted. Sergeant-at-arms Mar
tin was the object of some sharp
criticism and an effort was made
by half dozen radical silver members.
whose names were withheld, to turn
him down and recommend another
person for permanent sergeant-at-
arms. The six men so voted when the
question took the form of resolution
and when they were defeated it was
announced that they reserved the
right to bring in . minority report
recommending the removal of Col.
Martin.

RELIGIOUS ISSUE.
Indignation and Explanations of tn
Stories Attacking Mr. Bland.

Indignation and Explanations of the
Stories Attacking Mr. Bland.
Chicago, July 8.-One of the ''big
four of the Ohio delegation is very in
dignant at the attempt to make it ap-
pear that he started the attack on Mr.
Bland because of the latter's religious
convictions. He says he was misrepre-
sented in an interview which was
printed. 81 was asked" said he,
s'whether l thought the fact that Mr..
BANDS wife and son were Catholics
would in any degree weaken him as
candidate. | replied emphatically that
it was an outrage that a mans religi-
Gus connections should be talked about.
| said that for Mr.. Bland personally l
had the highest regard, and that no
one appreciated more than his work in
behaif of the silver cause. No one has
denounced the American Protective as
sociation organization more openly on
the stump than l. have no religious
preiudices. | was sorry, l said, that
the matter was talked about, but
admitted that such prejudices did ex-
ist and might weaken his chances OF
election if nominated. Religious
bigotry could not be controlled. In his
letter in which he defended his wife's
religion he laid down my platform ex-
actly." Mr. Thurman has sent the fol-
lowing dispatch to Mr. Bland at Leba-
non, Mo-: "The report that started
an attack upon you on account of your
wife's religion is absolutely untrue.
What said was in reply to a question
by others, and many things are now
put into my mouth which | never
thought of, much less said. Your let
ter when a candidate for congress
on the subject expressed precisely,
word for word, my sentiments and
convictions"

DEATH OF GEORGE LAW.
A New York City millionaire with Numer'
Gus Eccentricities.

Gus ECcentr1cItleB.
New York, July 8.-George Law,
the millionaire president of the Eighth
and Ninth avenue railroads, who died
yesterday afternoon, was man with
numerous eccehtricities and generous
to the limit of prodigality towards all
with whom he came in contact. 1t was
he who in 1899 set the pugilistic worl
in pleasurable excitement by char
teriug special train and taking
crowd of prizefghters and sports to
Saratoga. Every one who went was
presented with diansAnd rings and gold
watches At other times ne showed
his fondness for sport by bestowing
jewelry upon leaders of the ring Joe
Coburn, the deceased prize-fghter,
earned many diamond ring by telling
Law to knock him down to illustrate
how certain blows should be delivered
and Col. Tom Ochiltree, the raconteur
of Texas, is the owner of $4,000 dia
mond ring which Law gave him. The
trip to Saratoga by special train cost
Law over $50, 900, half of which was
spent by the pugilists in trying to beat
the tiger.

BLAND'S RELIGION.
wishes He Was Half as Good as His
Catholic Wife,

Chicago, July s.-The following
telegram was given out at the Bland
headquarters, as having come from Mr..
Bland, in response to one from Mr.
Thurman of Ohio, in which the latter
denied having stared fight against
him on the ground that his wife was
q Canholic: "Religion is not the
issue. | am a Methodist. Have
always been one. Always will be. II
were half as good as my Cathoilc
wife | would not worry about getting
into heaven. This is the sentiment |
expressed on previous occasion when
her religion was criticised. ! stand by
It now"

PLATFORM COMMITTEES.
Efforts To Have the Financial Plank Con-
sidered in Full Committee Fails.

sidered in Full Committee Fails.
Chicago, July s.-The resolutions COM
mittee began the active work for which
it was organized through motion by
Mr.. Thomas of Colorado, that a sub
committee of nine be appointed to
construct a platform and report to the
full committee this morning. Mr.. Nc
Dermott of New Jersey offered an
amendment which provided that this
subcommittee be authorized to pre-
pare the entire platform with the ex-
ception of the financial plank, and
that that be disposed of by the full
committee. MIR. McDermott is sound
money man, and in a short but aggres-
yive speech declared that he did
not want the financial plank con-
structed by any subcommittee for the
reason that existing conditions de-
madned as much publicity as possible
in the discussion of financial questions.
He was vigorous in his protest against
what he knew would be the action of
the committee and intimated that the
democrats of New Jersey and the east
could not or would not support free
silver coinage platform. Mr.. McDer-
motifs speech was construed by the
silver men of the committee as a threat
that he would bolt the silver nominee,
and Senator White replied in his ac-
customed energetic fashion. Further
remarks were made by Mr.. Harrison
of Connecticut in favor of the amend
ment, and soon the debate gave prom
ise of continuing indefinitely, when the
previous question was moved and Mr..
Thomas motion prevailed.
