very active comforting with different
delegations already here in the interest
Of the candidacy Of Henry NJ. Teller.
Yesterday afternoon Senator Dubois
was closeted with Senator Blackburn

refused to discuss the matter. The
Teller men were also in conference with
the leaders In other delegations.
DR.. II. $. Taylor. member Of the

man very close to Chairman Taube-

man who has been affiliated with the
democratic party.

Chicago. July 2.-Notwithstandin
the denial by some leaders of the silver
forces that there will be general eau
Gus of silver forces. there Is no doubt
the propriety of holding one has been
seriously discussed. II those favoring
such a course have their way. the con-
ference. to which all silver delegates
will be invited, will be held next Mon
day. The proposition was sprung by
the advocates Of Bland. who claim the
fair and seemly thing for the silver
men to do Is to get together in caucus
and agree upon a candidate who shall
be the choice of all silver men when
they 60 into the convention. This.
they say. would avoid a wrangle among
the advocates of the same cause and
avoid the possibility Of the nomination
Of man OF questionable soundness on
silver by a combination Of personal
followers with gold forces. They say
they are so well assured of Bland's
strength that they do not fear such a
test as this would be. This programme
has. however. received somewhat Of a
set back through the opposition Of the
adherents OF other aspirants. 1t is be-
lieved that II has been frowned upon
by many national leaders who are more
concerned about the success OF the sill
yer cause than they are for the welfare
of any individual candidate.

They have no hope Of controlling the
convention. but II Is their desire to
procrastinate. They want to divert the
platform from a is TO l silver basis TO
some sort Of a muddled compromise.
Were We to let the convention remain
In session several days, they might do
this. Wall street and the Standard OIL
interests have an influence far reach
ing and powerful. but the free silver
men are In the majority and will never
permit a small minority to dictate
terms"
As to the position OF temporary or
permanent chairman. the governor said
he did not want either. 1T was what
might be called clever politics" he
continued. for the goldbug papers TO
boom me for the honor. They knew II
would tend to arouse a spirit OF jeal-
ousy among democrats. IL would give
them a chance to say i was hogging
everything and giving no one else

presides over a body of this kind. IL
honest and fair, Is figurehead. IL he
were dishonest he might abuse the

tage Of one side or the other / think
i can be OF more service to the party
on the floor My only desire is to see
silver win. / want to see a free silver
ticket with free silver platform. For
myself. want nothing"
Altgeld said he had no idea who
would be temporary or permanent
chairman. but both positions would be
filled by men acceptable to free silver
democrats. Regarding the presidential
nominee he said he had no preference.
1t was too soon to fix upon a man.
The chief object now was to see to II
that the rights Of the majority were
not interfered with by Wall street gold.

Interesting and Profitable Meeting

ORev. Father Henebery, the celebrated
author and missionary, will preach, to-
night, and each night this week. at the
east side Catholic church. The writer was
present at a mission given in city in Ohio,
thirty -four years ago. by the Rev. Father,
who was then in the prime Of life. and one
of the largest churches in the city could
not contain the crowds iocking to hear
him preach, and hundreds Of young men
and boys, who took the pie dye from him to
abstain from all spirituous liquors, have
kept the pledge to this day. The Father
makes no attempt at oratorical effort, but
has IN easy Conversations style OF speak
ing which, with his great earnestness,
never fails to carry conviction to the most
obdurate heart. Those who fail to heal
his exposition Of the Catholic doctrine will
miss the opportunity of their lives.

A luARHz


The usual quietness OF the Mexican Gem
trail depot was somewhat disturbed, this
morning, by what In law may be construed
a kidnapping case, and a frantic mother
has been hunting Juarcx and El Paso over,
to-day, In vain to find her child.
According to the narrative furnished the
El Paso Herald, I. A. Mccormick had
been a Mexican Central operator at Chi
huahua, with a wife and child, ami they
to live well together until re-
Gently. Mccormick came north, yestsr-
day morning, claiming that his wife had
been untrue to him, and that he had de +
tccted her In improper relations. There
v as nothing 10 substantiate this beyond
the mans own word. He said to parties
that he had therefore left his wife and
came north, and had given up his posi-
ton.
This morning the wife came after her
worse half, having with her their little
child, and took breakfast In the Depot
restaurant. As 1t CHANGED, the child was
not watched closely enough and wandered
away from the maternal apron strings.
The father CHANGED to be close at hand,
and as the child wandered further, he
quickly grabbed it and was off.
Presently Mrs. Mccormick missed her
offspring and learned to her horror what
had happened. Then there was a scene
Finally she came over to this city IN
search of the runaways, but at last ac
counts had not learned what had become
of them.
[NoTE.-On the strength Of a telegram
from Chief of Police Fink, of Ell Paso, Po-
| licemen Harris and Carson were at the
depot last evening on the lookout for Nc
Cormick, who was supposed to have left
Ell Paso for Albuquerque with his 3-year-
old child, but Mccormick was not on the
train. Mrs. Mccormick was for.
merly Miss Bertha Smith, who, Ut
to the time Mccormick secured
