PRESIDENTIAL Possibilities.
Bland, BOies. and Teller All in a
Bunch at the start.


Chicago, Ill, July 3.-The situation this
morning was apparently clearer than it
had been in relation to the presidential
nomination The talk is now confined
chiefly to Bland and Teller. though Boies
has many strong supporters. The forces
are arrayed along the lines of eXpediency
on one side, and on the other side to a de-
sire to confine entries for the nomination
TO old members Of the democratic party.
The advocates of eXpediency, that IS those
who favor TeIlers nomination, are work.
ing with great energy and apparent con-
fidence To the argument that this is a
democratic convention and that democrats
must and will be nominated the reply is
returned that an eighteen-hour demo-
crat is good enough for the country and
ought to be for the con-
vention. There are some leigh
teen-hour democrats" said one Of
the Teller advocates this morning, whom
There is to be only one issue in the cam
DaiRn. and that is free and unlimited
coinage Of silver at the ratio Of 16 to /.
If a man is in favor of that It makes him
a democrat for 1886 at least, and I favor
nominating a man who can command the
support of the greatest number OF votes
upon that issue. Undoubtedly that man is
Henry NJ. Teller Of Colorado. In 1876. when
the republican party was organizing
single question was asked: Are you OPP
posed to the extension of slavery?' An
answer in the Affirmative made good
republican of the man on the spot, and
SO an affirmative answer to the question,
Are You in favor of free coinage OF sill
ver?" makes good democrat in 1886, with
out regard to a mans former party af-
citations or the length Of time that he
has held to that opinion"

SOUND MONEY MEN WON'T BOLT.
The Teller Incident Not to Have a
Counterpart at Chicago.

AhO AeAAeE Ahcluent MOI TO nave q
Counterpart at Chicago.
Chicago, July 3-It is positively stated
that the anti-silver men will not initiate
the example of the silver men in ST. Louis
and bolt the convention when their wishes
with regard to the platform are disre-
garded, as they are sure to be.
The so-called sound money men. the
wise men of the east" as the silver men
have named them, believe in the efficacy
of the machine in politics, and the neces-
sity of keeping the organization intact
for coming campaigns While 1t Is under
stood that no bolt will be countenanesd.
this Is not tantamount to a declaration
that the gold men will permit the conven-
ton to go for free silver without OBJ
lection. A dignihed and emphatic pro-
test will be made against the course the
majority are bent upon taking, but after
they have carried the day the gold lead
ers who disagree with them, It is said,
will accept the ticket and the platform
and the scenes at St. Louis will find no
counterpart at Chicago. 1t is also given
out tonight from free silver source of
prominence that the gold delegation from
Michigan will be unseated, earlier coun-
sells to the contrary Notwithstanding
There has likewise been developed a
concentration of sentiment in a number
of the delegations favorable to the Sc
lection of Editor William J. Bryan of the
Omaha World-Herald for temporary chair
man.

Douglass Tilden, the sculptor. and Miss
Bessie Cole were united in marriage in
Oakland yesterday by the Rev. DR.. J. X
Mclean. The wedding occurred at the
home of the brides father, on Webster
street, and the large drawing room was
made as pretty and artistic as delicacy OF
taste and unlimited flowers and foliage
could make 1t.
The bride and bridegroom are both deaf
mutes. and the responses and readings
were made with the aid of two type
written copies of the marriage service.
The bride and bridegroom followed the
language of the pastor. and by pointing
their fingers to the responses the usual
question and answers we're exchanged.

has learned to talk, said y will" AL

peoples and large bowls containing the
silky flowers were placed IN every availa-
BILE spot. In the drawing room the dec
oratiOns were in green and white. The
flowers used were sweet peas and mar

doorway leading into the room. The dining
room where the wedding breakfast was
served was decorated in pink.

They covered the entrance of his tunnel

about twenty feet away, and one of them
sang.
In a half hour the sack was seen to
move slightly, whereupon one of the young
men jumped up quickly and ran to the
stick which he pressed deep into the
ground. cutting off the gopher's retreat.
The other reached his hand into the mole
and brought out big gopher which was
made into a delicious stew for their din

Atlanta. Ga, March 5.-Nrs- Mary l.
Logan. residing at the corner of Ne
chanic and Hulsey streets. in the manu-
featuring district of the city, was found
in an unconscious condition, bound and
gagged i'm her bed, by one OF her neigh
bors this morning.
The woman had been attacked during
the night. and after being choked into
insensibility was tied fast TO the bed with
a hemp rope. which had evidently been
brought 10 the house for that purpose.
She was also beaten about the face and
head. and the clutch about her throat
where she was choked was so brutal
that the skin was broken and blood from
the wound saturated the pillows. Mrs.
Logan was occupying the house alone.
Up 10 a few days ago part Of it was oc-
cupied by other tenants, but they had
vacated it, The woman was found in
the condition described by her neigh
bors chuld, who had been sent over
10 borrow some pepper. 1t was
some time after the arrival of the police
and physicians that Mrs. Logan regained
consciousness. and so severely had she
been dealt with that it was not until
this evening that she was able to give
a rational account Of what had taken
place.
From her statement. it appears that
about midnight last night she was awak-

in bed, was Mortified 10 see standing

was made.
The robbers had entered by a window.
The case is a mysterious one. Mrs. LO-
gan is said to possess considerable prop
erty located near Ninety-Six. 5. c., from
which she receives a regular income. Her
husband lives in South Carolina. she haV
ing been separated from MN Tor some
years. while her son, Gus Logan, about !
% years of age. works in Atlanta. but does
not live with his mother. The boy and his
mother have not been on good terms. al
though during the past month peace had
been patched up between them.
The suspicion of the police fell upon the |
son upon the suppositiOn that he not only
knew that his mother had only a short |
time ago received her rents from South |
Carolina, but also wanted to get her out |
Of the way so that he might get pos

was arrested and placed in the station |
house, where he was kept until tonight, |
when unon the statement of the woman |
that he was not her assailant, he was re-
leased.
