THE RULE.

Chicago. July 6.-Thomas NJ. Patter-
son, editor and proprietor Of the Rocky
Mountain News. today expressed his
sentiments in regard to the political
situation and gave his reasons why
Senator Teller should be nominated by
the convention.
Mr.. Patterson was a member OF the
committee on resolutions at the demo-
cratic convention held in Chicago four
years ago and as a member Of that COM
mittee presented a minority report and
made a memorable speech in its sup
port, advocating the free coinage of
silver. That minority report was re-
pudiated by the convention by a very
decided vote. Mr.. Patterson withdrew
the support of his paper from the party
and bolted the nomination and the
state of Colorado in a subsequent cleo
ton was carried by the populist party.
Mr.. Patterson said today:
mo man can say with any degree of
certainty what the outcome OF this con-
vention will be, beyond the fact that it
will declare in the most emphatic terms
for the free coinage OF silver at the
ratio of IS to l."

THE FREE SILVER CAUCUS.

Chicago. July 6.-The silver mems
night session was devoted almost ex-
clusively to the subject Of temporary
craftsmanship. The spirit which per-
vaded the meeting was decidedly pug
nacious and they decided to put forth
their utmost ~endeavors to secure a sig
nal winning. On motion Of Mr..
O'Donnell of Colorado, and the roll was
called to determine whether the ma
jority of the delegates were represent
ed at the meeting. The call developed
the fact that those present had au-
thority to pledge 40 delegates. This
is a bare majority and the committee
Immediately decided it was too close
for comfort. They, therefore, resolved
that the situation was such as to de-
mand immediate action to secure the
assurance of greater support and about
one-third OF the members present we're
at 10 o'clock appointed a sub-commit-
tee to the absent delegations and secure
further pledges. They Immediately
started out in carriages to scour the
town. The silver men did not attempt
to conceal the fact that they were some
what chagrined that there was not a
better showing.

New York was reported for temporary
chairman by the national committee.
amid great enthusiasm. Clayton Of
Alabama moved that the name of Dan
iels be substituted for Hill and an i'm
mense demonstration followed. A roll
call Of the states was demanded upon
Clayton's motion.
Fellows of New York made a point as
to why the convention should be will
ing to accept all the rest of the recon-
mendations Of the national committee
and turn a democrat like D. B. Hill
down. Mr.. Fellows referred to Cleve-
land and there was great cheering all
over the hall.
Waller said he could stand any candt-
date the convention might name, but
appealed for courtesy and fair treat
ment. The gold men propose to stay,
but wish democratic p~recedents upheld.
Thomas Of Colorado advocated the
selection Of Daniels as temporary chair
man. He said the convention should
carry out the wishes Of the majority
and select Daniels. He did not w1sh to
prevent discussion.
Waller said II Hill was turned down
eastern democrats would light here and
elsewhere. Cheering and Kisses all
over the hall.
Fellows took the stand and advocat-
ed Hill. Great cheering followed his
appeal to not violate precedents and
trample upon the rights Of the min
GRITTY.
In confusion the convention cried
for Hill and Daniels, drowning Mars
ton. who had taken the floor to advo-
cate the selection Of Daniels. The
speaker became greatly excited. The
confusion continued until Mr..
Marston retired and Duncan of Texas
then took the floor in advocacy of Dan
ieIs.
The motion to substitute Daniels tor
Hill was carried by q big majority. TIE
oficial vote in favor Of the motion was
SIS against $40. The announcement Of
the vote cause great cheering through
out the hall. Daniels was escorted to
the chair amid cheers and the band
playing. He received a great ovation,
delegates cheering for fairness in the
way he presided as chairman.
Daniels reference to Hill as a great
senator was loudly cheered. His flow
ing speech was listened to with great
attention.
Daniels strongly advocated the free
coinage of silver at the ratio OF 16 to
l. He Anished at 4:19 p. m, and there
were cries for Hill. who did not re-
spond. The call Of states was then
made for appointment OF committees.

BOIES' CHANCES,

Chicago. July 6.-Ex-Governor Boies
Is expected to return to Chicago some
time during the day. The gold men of
Iowa have perfected an organization
for the support of Boies. The leaders
are A. 8. Johnson. member of the ma
tional committee, Cato Sells. Judge
Kinney and ]. M. Gobble. The latter
Is n of the four gold delegates from
Iowa The other gold delegates refuse
to participate in the movement for the
nomination Of Boies and have already
given notice that they intend to bolt a
silver nomination, whether 1t is Boies
or any other a The organization OF
the Iowa gold men has for its purpose
the holding for Boies OF all the silver
delegates possible. and when he has
secured enough to effect a nomination,
the gold delegates from the eastern
states are to vote for him.
OF course it is necessary to secure
pledges rom eastern delegates to bring
bou his nomination. 1t is not known
how many eastern delegates can be Sc
cured. Under this arrangement it is
o intended that eastern gold dele
gates shall vote for Boies until he has
enough silver votes to nominate him,
because it is feared that the support OF
the gold delegates would drive the
silver votes away from him.
Gen. J.. B. Weaver of Iowa was in
conference with the Boies leaders to-
day. and said that he was in favor of
fusion Of the democrats and populists,
not only in congressional districts and
the state of Iowa. but also throughout
the nation.
MI. Weaver. who was the populist
candidate for president sewers years
ago. says he is for Teller, and hopes
that Teller will be nominated. If Teller
Is not nominated he will assist Boies
and urge the populists to support him,
II nominated by the democrats, pro.
vided he fs moi nominated by the aid
OF gold votes. Mr.. Weaver says he will
support any democrat who IL nom
mated by their aid and will urge the
poputists to do the same thing. e.
pecially II there il any appearance Of a
combine In favor Of a silver candidate
which looks like a compromise with the
gold forces.

THE ~LEADVILLE STRIKE.
Miners Protest Against the State Mill
tia Taking a Hand.

Leadville. Colo. July 6.-There was
an interesting and important session OF
the county commissioners tonight. In
which the strike situation came up for
discussion. Mr.. George B. Handy, Sec
rotary Of the miners union, and Mr..
Waibl and Mr.. Otis OF the union ap-
pe~ared-before the board and stated that
there had been a report sent out that
Governor McIntire intended sending
troops to Leadville and asked that a
resolution be passed protesting against
such action, as the same was unneces-
sary. There was some discussion of
this matter. but it appeared to be the
unanimous opinion hat no action
should be taken on a newspaper report,
especially as this report of Governor
Mclntire's action had been officially
denied. 1t was suggested that the
county clerk be instructed to notify
Governor McIntire by letter that every
thing here was quiet and that no trou-
BILE was expected. No action, however,
was taken on this suggestion.
Mr.. Otis of the union committee stat
ed that the miners union singly and as
a body was in readiness at all times to
assist the sheriff in preserving order in
Leadville in case such assistance was
necessary. The committee left the
board to investigate the rumor OF Gov
ernor McIntire's reported action, and
ought to take some action in the mat
tier.
County Attorney Elder thought the
board should take no action unless
some steps were first taken by the gov
ernor.
The commissioners were Of the opin.
ion that Governor Mcintyre would send
no militia unless assistance was asked
for by the sheriff, and that he had no
right to interfere.
Commissioner Frymire did not think
1t would do harm to send a potest to
the governor, but he agreed with Mr..
Elder and the other commissioners
that 1t would bear more weight II &C.
ton raj taken. II the same was found
necessary.
One Of the members Of the union
thought that Adjutant General Moses
got but one side of the question while
he - in Leadville, and both he and
Mr.. Handy thought it was unfair that
Mr. Moses obtain all his information 1T
Eben Smiths Office in this city. They
declared that he also should have con-
suited with the miners.
The commissioners thought that Mr..
Moses should have called at least on
the county authorities II he desired par
ticulars on both sides Of the question.
The county commissioners were unani-
nous in their opinion that the city was
never o quiet and peaceable than
since the recent labor troubles bega1.
and would take no action until It was
Thought NECESSARY.
