THE NORTH CAROLINIANS.
The North Carolnians have a large del
egation out here. Among their visitors
IS Mr.. Watson, who was recently nomi-
mated by the Democrats for Governor.
The North Carolina delegation to-day
elected these committeeman: Chairman.
Theodore +. Klatz; Credentials, W. ID.
Turner. Permanent Organization, f.. B.
Jones; Rules. A. NJ. Wadden; Platform,
John r. Webster: to notify presidential
candidate. George S. Rowell; national
committeeman. Josephus Daniels, in place
0f Minister Matt. W. Ransom.
After sharp discussion and a close
vote. the delegation adopted the unit
rule. Their State convention. 1t seems
dld not give them any instructions on
this point. The majority Of the North
Carolina delegation will probably vote FOR
P-van on the first ballot. After that they
viii no doubt be equally divided between
Bland and Boies.
DANIEL TO BE CHAIRMAN.
The first trial of strength OF the gold
and silver men will come up in the con-
vention tomorrow, on the report OF the
National Committee recommending Sena-
for -. p. Hin of New York. for temporary
chairman. The majority Of this body this
afternoon adopted report recommending
Mr.. Hill. The contest was between that
gentleman and Senator Daniel, OF Nir-
einia. the vote standing q for Hill and
q for Daniel. The minority will submit
report i'm favor OF Daniel, and II Is
now quite certain that this will be sus-
tained by the convention. All oi the
southern and most of the western dele
gates favor the report OF the minority.
There are, however some delegates IRON
the latter section who think II good
politics TO give the gold men some recog-
milton. and they do not know Of any
better way than to make Hill temporary
chairman The southern and most OF the
western silver men are determined that
no one but those in sympathy with their
views shall be given places OF RESPONSE
- L. Ion
the report Of the minority Will prevail
Without trouble Major Otey and other
Virginia leaders fully concur In this view.
Il is rather odd that Daniel and Hiil
should be pltted against each other. At
the convention four years ago The Viz
einia Senator not only supported Hill,
but made one Of the best speeches OF the
convention. seconding his nomination.
Now these two senators are the leaders OF
the opposlnc factions in this convention.
They are now tho chosen representatives
Of the demands for one of the most re-
sponsible places in the gift of the con-
ycntion.
So sure is Daniel that he will be chosen
10 the honor for which the minority
members of the committee recommend
him that he has prepared the speech
which ne expects TO deliver on the occa-
sion. II Will il IS believed, be one OF
the strongest which the Senator Of Viz
ginia has ever delivered.
FREE-SILVERITE PROGRAMME.
From the word "Go" to the end, the
free-sllverites mean to assert their power
control the convention, ana hasten us
work Their policy Is TO be one OF ag-
eression and expedition. This Is the mean
ing Of their determination 10 oppose the
nominee Of the National Committee for
the temporary chairmanship. AS soon
as Chairman Harrity submits the name OF
Senator I'LL TO the convention, Mr.
Thomas. Of Idaho viii propose senator
Daniel as substitute. Whether or not
seconding speeches will be in order Will
be for Harrity TO determine, but the best
opinion. / think, is that such speeches
will be in order. and thus ii may possibly
happen that the fioodgates Of oratory VIII
be opened wide.
Tonight the free-silver men are actVe
in urging each silver delegation TO give
Daniel their fun support. OF course
Daniel will be elected. and II Is saie 70
say that his speech Of acceptance Will
be one Of his best Everybody wants 10
hear Daniel speak. Already the papers
here are good-naturedly cartooning him
as he will appear when he accepts the
chairmanship
