CHICAGO, July 2.-The movement
to make Senator Hill temporary chair
man has received a decided impetus
during the day, and there is good
reason for believing that the execu-
tive committee of the national conven-
ton would be pleased to suggest his
name if they felt that it would be ac-
cepted by the silver men. Members
of the committee profess to believe that
Hill will be acceptable to the silver
PEOPLE, because he is not regarded as
an administration man, though ranked
with the gold forces, Many impartial
observers express the opinion that the
senator will ultimately be accepted by
all factions, in order to make smooth
sailing at the beginning OF the con-
yenti0n. The silver leaders hold out
stiffly. however, for a man of pro
nounced silver proclivities for presid-
ing officer.

Not n. Little Bit.

CHICAGO, July 2.-Senator Jones, d
recognized leader of the silver forces,
was asked today about stories which
have gained circulation here as to the
plans of the silver men. One of these
reports was to the effect that he and
other silver leaders had agreed TO
recommend Senator Hill Of New York
for the position of temporary chair
man.
1T is false in every respect" said
the senator II have had no confer
ence with the gentlemen mentioned on
the question of the temporary chair
manship The story is absurd. We
want a, man for temporary chairman
who would make a speech in opening
the convention that will be the keynote
to the campaign. 1t must necessarily
be a silver speech, and do not think
that Senator Hill would fill the bill.

VIII stand With 1T.

CHICAGO. July 2.-Colonel NJ. c.
Prather, national committeeman from
Missouri, has announced his intention
to stand with the committee in the
maintenance of its right to designate
the chairman of the convention. The
Missouri free silver men are somewhat
chagrined over the fact that he has
taken this position, as the instructions
given him by the Missouri state con-
vention were to support none but a
silver man for the position. Colonel
Prather is believer in the gold stan
dard and holds that the convention
had no authority to instruct him. 1t
is understood that Colonel Joe Hickey
is slated to succeed Colonel Prather on
the committee Colonel Hickey is an
especial champion of Mr.. Bland, with
whose views on the currency question
he is in thorough accord.

Plans of the Gold Standard COntin-
gent.

CHICAGO. July 1.-The. announce
ment that the eastern gold standard
leaders. William c. Whitney and 9TH
ers, would arrive here tomorrow has
put some heart into the gold standard
men who are here. The rumor of a
withdrawal of the gold standard men
from the convention if they are defeat
ed is still current but it cannot be
definitely placed in the so far arranged
plan of the gold standard people. The
plan arranged is, at ielst, calculated
TO make things lively, even if it has
not the greater effect of obtaining
converts. 1t will be similar to the
plan adopted by the New York Demo-
Gratis during the days preceding the
halls the orators foretold the destruc-
ton of the Democracy if President
/ Cleveland was renominated. The plan
is to have Senator Hill, Mr.. Whitney,
ex-Mayor Grant, John r. Fellows,
Senator Smith, of New Jersey; ex-GOv-
ern0r Russell, of Massachusetts and
other we'll known orators, discuss the
situation with rot only the leaders of
the gold standard movement from
other states but with the leaders of
the silver movement. If these discus
sions, like the Hill and Cleveland dis
cussions of 1892, are to be made public
the result can hardly be foretold. for
! the silver element is of an excitable
| character. A conference of the gold
| standard men is called for o'clock
! tomorrow night at the Auditorium, and
it is expected that a policy will be
| mapped Ous at that time.

pronosed silver Caucus.

CHICAGO, July notwithstanding
the denial by some leaders of the sill
yer forces that there will be general
caucus of the silver forces, there is no
doubt that the propriety of holding one
has been secretly discussed. If those
favoring such a course have their way
q conference TO which all silver dele
gates will be invited, will be held next
Monday.
The proposition was sprung by the
advocates of Bland who claim that the
fair and seemly thing for the silver
men TO do is to get together in caucus
and agree upon a candidate who shall
be the choice of all the silver men,
when they go into convention. This
