The San Francisco call., 1896-07-07


Boies' recently published letter was read,
in which he advocated unlimited coinage,
but limited legal tender for the American
silver product.
This aroused the ire of Senator Harris,
and in the emphatic language for which
he is noted, he condemned the action of
Boies as more than foolish. He was sur
prised that man like Boes should advo-
cate the policy credited TO him, policy so
entirely at variance with the wishes and
desires of the silver wing of the party.
1t did not mitigate the wrath of Senator
Harris to be informed that the position
was ompromise, suggested long time
ago to meet situation that did not nov
exist. Still. he expressed his belief that
Boies is the most available man. This
severe criticism of his own candidate by
Mr.. Harris weakened some of the other
delegates who had been inclined toward
Boies and, it is said, somewhat weakened
his chances and increased those OF Bland.
No action was taken, the understanding
being that the delegation should meet
again TO settle the question of a candi-
date. The delegation is bound by the
unit rule and the struggle promises to be
interesting.
The Wyoming delegates passed resolu-
tions favoring tariff for revenue only,
free silver, and declared themselves for
Bland.
The Texas men had a little row over the
question of the temporary Craftsmanship
of the convention, some OF the delegates
wanting to pass a resolution for Bryan,
but it raised so much opposition that 1t
was tabled.
The Texas delegates finally indorsed the
candidacy of Bland for President and Sc
lected Congressman J. w. Bailey to Sec
ond Mr.. Blanu's nomination.
! The Missouri men feel so positive OF
BANDS nomination that at the caucus
this morning it was decided not to elect
National Com mitteeman, but to leave the
| place open until after the convention,
when they propose to permit Bland to Sc
lect a man agreeable to him.
