Speculation as to How 1t Will Work In the
 Democratic National Convention.
 CHICAGO, tune 29.-More than three generations ago the two-thirds rule was established in democratic national convention. It has pre- vailed and Ceen in force ever since. It means that the support of two.thirds of all the delegates is required to nom- mate candidates for president and vice president. Under its provisions, therefore, the nominees of next weeks big show must secure GOA votes. These figures are made on the official repre-. sentation as fixed by the national com mitteee, which allows a total of DOG delegates in the convention. But the allotments of the national committee have not, however, been strictly ad- hered to in all cases. As a result some- thing like 9S0 delegates have been chosen and will ask for recognition. The A additional come from the terri tories. from each of which there will be six delegates, instead of two, as al- lowed in the call. If they are admit ted and seated, then the two-thirds re- quirement would be raised to 620.
 As only a majority vote is needed to organize the convention, change the rules, adopt platform and do every thing except nominate the candidates, it is conceded the silver forces can wipe out the two-thirds rule if they act and vote together. On the basis of 906 delegates, and taking for granted the unit rule will be observed in votes on all questions. the silverites will have a clear majority of not less than 250. This is on the returns by states and territories, which give 57s silver delegates, against 32s gold or sound money men. If the additional "A dele. gates from the territories are seated, they can safely be counted with the silver majority, thus increasing it to 274.
 It is asserted, however. that friends of some of the silver candidates, not ably those of Mir. Bland, will unite with the goh men against dropping the rule. Bland's friends argue that he has strong lead and that the aboli- tion of the two-thirds rule would weaken his chances
