THE ANTLSLL,VER WING
They Did Not Get q Compete Vet,ry in
the Choice Of chicago
May BE Split over the Financial
Question When the COnvcn-
ton Meets.

The selection of Chicago as the place of
holding the democratic convention is not
complete victory for the anti-silver wing of
the committee, but 1T is satisfactory to
them and is a defeat for the silver men.
How far this Is significant, how far it may
influence the course of the convention. is
problemHticaL The fight began with the
determination on the part of the silver men
that the convention should not go to New
York. and on the part of the, gold men that
it should not go to st. Louis. This made 1t
probable from the start that Chicago would
be selected. Several silver men voted for
Chicago. however, so that the result Is
robbed of most Of its sigffffcance.@ When
the condition was imposed by the commit
tee that the anagement of the conyen-
ton, distribution of tickets, etc, should be
left entirely to the national committee 1t
was upon the assumption that athe.,conven-
ton was to go to Chicago. and 1t was re-
Election on the Conduct of that city toward
other conventions.
No Enthusiasm Over the Result.
1t is remarked chat there was ne enthusi-
ssm over the result, but 1t is equally true
that there was none at any stage OF the
proceedings. It was painfully evident
throughout the meeting Of the committee
that they were entering into hopeless fight
Tor the presidency arr tnat Cnes real SlS-
nificance and Importance of the action of
the committee and of the convention to
follow relates to the internal affairs of the
party. - - -
Struggle tn Fix the Policy.
The feeling is that at the convention the
idea of preparing for a winning campaign
for the presidency will be. lost sight of in
the struggle to fix the policy of the party,
and that the convention will amount prac-
tically to national democratic caucus to
determine it's course for the future.
The gold men have the first blood in the
fight. At the convention the struggle will
be desperate. The anti-sifver men are de-
termined to sacrifice every other consid-
Grafton to secure the adoption of their
policy. The silver men are equally In earn
est. 1t is not regarded as probable that
the argument of expediency will have much
weight with either faction. If the general
prospects of party success were brighter
10th sides might be disposed to be accom-
modating. but under the existing circum-
stances the end of the fight Is felt to be
merely the control of the party organiza-
tion. and neither will be disposed to con-
slider anything else.
May Be n Split,
That the convention will result in a split
is regarded as not the least probable thing.
Men Of sober Judgment are discussing this
proposition, and the opinion is not infre-
quently expressed that there will be an
other democratic convention following that
at Chicago. 't" - -1-- 49, ~-.

Republicans.

Senator A.Lincoln Dryden had announced
his withdrawal from the fight, and his vote,
well that of the Somerset delegation,
was cast for Phillips L. Goldsborough.
The Wellington men are delighted with
the Congressman's gains over yesterday
and declare that they will stick to him to
the end.
GoIdsborough despite his gain from
Somerset lost ground, and his supporters
are unfeignedly disappointed at the result
of the ballot, as they had high hopes of his
election today.
The Dixon boom failed to gain, its one
vote coming from Senator Norwood OF
Frederick. who has voted for the Talbot
banker with unfailing regularity.
One hundred and six members of the
general assembly were present today, but
Senator John w. Smith declined to vote,
and 1O5 ballots were cast for the several
candidates. No desire for a second ballot
was evinced, although a number will prob
ably be taken tomorrow.
Unusual activity is being displayed by all
the candidates and their Heutenants. and
MANY rumOrs of deals. Withdrawals, new
complications and radical changes in the
situation are circulated. The members of
the general assembly are growing FESTIVE.
The prospect of a protracted struggle is par
tiCularly repugnant to them, and the lead
ing candidates are doing all in their power
to precipitate a stampede in their several
directions. The Wellington men appear par
ticularly jubilant. and they assert that their
leader will be elected by Monday at the
latest.
Up to today Phillip L. Goldsborough has
been looked upon as Welhngton's residuary
1egatee, it being understood that the Con-
gresham intended TO aid the Goldsborough
boom should he withdraw, but his support
ers now say that under no circumstances
will they support Goldsborough, and 1t is
understood that should Wellington leave
the fight his faction will go to W3tcott.
The activity manifested by Attorney Gen
eral Clabaugh, Controller-elect Graham
and George r. Gather In Goldsborough's
behalf has occasioned WelIngton's change
OF heart. and the Westcott men receive
the prospect of a transfer to their standard
with great satisfaction.
The Goldsborough men are working like
beavers TO carry the general assembly by
storm.
Through the efforts of Speaker Mudd, DR.
Washington Tuck and Charles T. West.
colt an effort to stampede the joint as
sembly today for Goldsborough was frus
trated. but further efforts are anticipated.
