DO NOT WANT HILL CHAIRMAN
Democratic Convention VIII Not
Accept IA Gold Allocate.

Chicago. July Ex-senator Hill of New
York will not be temporary chairman OF
the democratic national convention. The
silver leaders almost unanimously de-
clare the temporary organization must
certainly be controlled by a majority OF
the convention. Senator Blackburn said
today: Hill would undoubtedly make
an impartial chairman, but he is allied
with the gold forces and 1t would be a
roundabout way of procedure for us TO
turn over to minority in the convention
Its organization. 1t is not TO be sup
posed the majority are going to jeopar-
dize those chances"
Then you don't believe Hill will be
made chairman of the temporary organ-
zatlon, even by conjunction of the god
votes and such silver delegates as favor
him?"
mo. Mark this" and the senator be-
came emphatic, using forcibe gestures,
this convention is in control of the
silver men. That is a fact beyond
any question of doubt. On every ques-
ton the standing of the majority will
be to aid their movements. Now, il tie
gold men were in control, they would
not think of giving us control of the

not we shall not act that way. A silver

LIST OF BIMETALLIo Committee
Members of the National and state
Organizations.

Washington, July 1.-The prevailing
idea all over the country that the silver
victories in the democratic primaries and
conventions have resulted without or
ganization is erroneous. The general inn
preston seems to be that the silver men
have not been properly organized, and
that their success has been that of a
mob over disciplined troops. 1t is known
that silver conferences We're held from
time to time last summer and that COM
mttees were appointed. The most inn
portant of these conferences was that
held at the Metropolitan hotel in this
city last August. The results where the
silver men have won have not been re-
garded as eccentric victories without
work.
AS matter of fact the silver men,
through the efforts of the bimetallic dem
ocratic committee, of which Senator Har-
ris Is chairman have had thorough Or
ganizatlon in all the democratic states.
In some states they are organized even
down to precincts. They have had a ma.
tlonal headquarters in this city from
which hundreds of thousands of docu-
ments have been distributed.

TO THwART Tho GOLD ADVOCATE
wen W1thout Credentials Trying to
Rule the Convention

Chicago, July 2.-Some of the silver men
manifest disposition to resent the an
nouncement of the intention of gold advo-
Gates, who are not delegates, to come
to Chicago with the avowed intention of
influencing the proceedings. Senator
Elect Money of Mississippi, said:
II Is an unheard of proceeding for men
like Whitney and Eckels, who have no
credentials to the national convention 10
attend 1t with view of influencing the
action of delegates on a question of prin-
ciple. To come here as these men do
to change the views of delegates who are
instructed on line of policy. is either
piece of arrogance or piece of folly
Just as you choose to regard 1t.
Il say to them. either one of the two
constructions is to be put upon their CON
quot. They either propose to buy men
outright or they want to otherwise influ-
ence delegates to break faith with their
constituents. Either policy will be re-.
sented
Il predict that the gold advocates who
come to this convention without other
excuse than that of exerting their infin-
ence on duly elected delegates will meet
with very cool reception. This conven.
ton Will be silver from core to cuticla
and the gold influence can not he used

REsCIND a LONG STANDING RULE
sflverites VIII Insist Upon the Ma
jOrIty Governing.


Chicago, July 2.-On the basis that
each territory will be allowed six votes
and the District of Columbia six votes.
the total number of votes in the conven-
ton will be 91S. OF these AGO would be a
majority and 612 would be two-thirds The
silver men are today claiming $50 votes
and conceding only 1874 to the gold ele-
ment.
With these figures ii will be noticed
that the silver men lack but 1e votes
OF having the necessary two-thirds To
nominate, but they claim that the eight
votes counted for gold will come 10 them
after the temporary organization, While
the Michigan votes are also expected. Ne
braska is figured in the silver column.
and this is because, while there is a ctn-
test the silver men say they will see that
the gold standard men are not seated
IL is the security in this preponderance of
votes that makes the silver leaders con-
hdent or ultimate victory.
The decision upon the abrogation of The
two-tnirds vote on nomination may be t.
layed until after the temporary and rer-
manent organization and until the con-
vention is ready to nominate Then nm
less the gold standard men recognize the
superiority of numbers and succun,b TO
the inevitable, the silver men wlll force
the issue and rescind the long standi ,g

GETTING READY FOR THE BATTLE

Is as much hustle and excitement and
hurrying to and fro around the hotels

at ST. Louis when the convention was al
It's height. Four years ago the Auditor
ium was the center of gravity, but this
time two-thirds of the delegations are
chartered at the Palmer House. Among
tnem are those of New York Massachu-
sets, Michigan. Minnesota Mississippi.
Colorado, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana,
ONO, pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, Vir-
GINA, Wisconsin and Washington
AT the respective Boies and Bland
headquarters in the Palmer House a reg
iment or lieutenants and clerks are en-
gagged In getting out Autographs and lit
eraturer debating and writing letters
and holding consultations with renrs-
sentatives of various delegations who are
early on the scene. At the Illinois head
quarters in the Auditorium there is also
scene or considerable activity. while
Senator Turpie of Indiana who is lodged
at the Palmer, is besieged with callers.
The Illinois delegation has formally
placed Judge Samuel p. Mcconnell of
TINS city, in the field as a candidate for
the permanent craftsmanship of the con-
vention.
The various elements OF the silver peo-
PIE are renewing their consultations TO-
day at the Sherman House and the Hart
ford building. A sufficient number of
delegates, however. is not as vet on the
ground to enable the situation to crys-
taliize into anything definite. As to the
duration OF the convention, the general
impression seems to be that II will last
until at least Saturday night, and NAV
continue over Sunday

ALMOST AGREED UPON THEIR MEN

also mentioned for this position Bryan
Is, however. decidedly In the lead. The
silver men are hopeful today that they
may be able to have the man they select

They hope to accomplish this by prevail

the organization, for majority can over

His name Is received with more favor
than Hills.
