inee of most Importance in the eyes OF
the Democratic leaders. All the candi-
dates are striving for mis- support.
So far Governor Altgeld has not COM
mitted himself. although there has been
a strong impression that he favors
Governor Stone of Missouri, and de-
spite denials by Bland's friends that
Governor Stone could ever be induced
to become a candidate with Bland in
the field, at the proper time Stone will
be brought forward.
The strongest public commitment of
Governor Altgeld up to date has been
in favor of Judge Mcconnell of this
city, but it developed today that Judge
Mcconnell is in favor of Teller's nom
ination. The silver Republicans are
encouraged at this. as they believe it
will materially influence Governor Alt
geld. Judge Mcconnell is reported to
have written a strong letter to Altgeld
last night advocating the advisability
of Teller's nomination, and the silver
Republicans believe it viii have it's ef-
feet on Altgeld.

Talk of Calling One and Deciding Up
on a Slate.

Chicago, July 3.-There is talk among
the free silver leaders of calling a eau
Gus of their forces before the cOnven-
ton for the purpose of fixing a slate.
Should this be done, Governor Altgeld's
idea of a one day convention may be
chairman of the Illinois central com
mittee and delegate-at-1arge says that
there is. a strong sentiment among the
free silver delegates now in the city
favOring such a caucus.
But even should there be no eau
cus,' he continued, L have an idea that
the work of the convention can be
wound up in a single day. AS figure
it out the silver candidates for the
nomination will be Bland, Boies, Black
burn, Matthews and Mclean. OF these
I rather incline to the belief that BOieS
and Bland will get the bulk of the votes
and that whoever has the greatest
number of votes on the first ballot will
be nominated on the second.
LAS to the gold men, don't think
we have anything to fear of them. As
soon as they get here and circulate
among the delegates they will have
political sagacity enough to see that
they are in a hopeless minority, and
to make a fight would be butting their
heads against a brick wall with an
idea of battering it down. The majori-

are for free silver, and it has always

TO USE AMERICAN RULES.
Canadian Grand Trunk Railway Will
Adopt the American System

Toronto, Ont, July st is stated on
the authority Of prominent officials in
the service of the Grand Trunk rail-
way that General Manager Hayes pro-
poses to introduce American rules
throughout the Grand Trunk system in
Canada. Old officials will be compelled
to learn the new rules and failure to
pass a written examination on them
will mean dismissal. Hitherto the
Grand Trunk has been subject to Eng
lish rules and Mr.. Hayes inaugura-
ton of what he terms standard rules,
will affect about 10000 employees. Mr.
Hayes has dismissed many old en-
ployes, replacing them with Americans
and this proposed change, some as
sert will be a good excuse for import
ing more employees from the United
States. There is talk that to meet
emergency the federal authorities will
be urged to enact an alien law similar
to that in the United States.

Omaha, July at. became rumored
early today that the free silver Demo-

Chicago over the Northwestern route
and that therefore the free silver train
of the Northwestern road was to be

There were many conferences be-

THE TWO cHAIRMANsHIPs.
Bryan Slated for Temporary Chair
man and Harris for Permanent
Chairman.

Chicago, July 3.-In all probability
W. J. Bryan of Nebraska will be tenn
porary chairman and Senator Harris
permanent chairman of the Democratic
convention. Unless the present pro-
gramme is changed, they viii be desig-
mated for these places by the silver
delegates.
The choice has not been officially
made, but the canvass of the situation
which has been in progress at the
Sherman house ever since the first
meeting of the representative silver
Democrats last Monday has resulted In
a general agreement upon the superior
availability of these two gentlemen for
the respective places.
Mr.. Bryan is believed to especially
meet the requirement announced from
the first that the temporary chairman
must be a man who can present the
issues of the campaign from the free
silver standpoint in way that viii
command the attention of the country
and sound the keynote of the cam
paign.
nant voice and commanding presence.
He has been spoken of as a presidential
candidate, but has withdrawn from the
race. 1t is felt that on this account,
and especially on account OF his per-
sistent devotion to silver, he deserves
this recognition.
Governor Stone of Missouri, Senator
elect Money and G. S. Thomas, chair
man of the Colorado delegation, are al
so mentioned for this position. Mr..
Bryan, is however, decidedly in the
lead at this time. The silver men are
hopeful today that they viii be able to
have the man they may select designa-
ted by the national committee.
They hope to accomplish this by pre-
vailing upon few gold standard men
on the committee to combine with the
silver men and name Il silver man to
preside. 1t is said that the committee
stands q to % for gold. The change Of
three votes will therefore accomplish,
their purpose. Failing in this the mi !
nority will according to the origina
programme, make a minority repor
presenting the name of the lHlaI
agreed upon for temporary chairman
by the silverites.
Senator Harris is generally accepted
a S an ideal man for permanent chair
man. He is regarded as the best
authority in the country or parliamen-
tary law and has most experience as q
presiding officer, having been until re-
Gently president pro tempOre of the
United States senate. It is conceded
that he can have the place if he VIII
take it, and it is believed that he will
accept.

CoLoRADo FOR BLAND.

Denver, July 3.-Three of the Colo
rado delegates to the Democratic ma

John H Poole and T. J. O'Donneu,
have already started for Chicago. The
other five will leave tonight. Five of
the Colorado delegates favor the NOM
ination of Bland, and as the unit rule
will be observed, he will probably re-
ceive the eight votes of Colorado on
the first ballot. Should TelIer'S name
be presented, Co1orado's vote will go to

present no candidate.

st. John the Silver Bank President of
New York, Has to Resign.

New York, July 3.-W. P. St. John,
president of the Mercantile National
bank, has resigned his position. Mr.
St John has for years been an out
spoken advocate of the free coinage of
silver and in this has been at vari-
ance with the directors of the bank.
The feeling in banking circles
against the advocacy of free silver by
a bank president has been strong, and
it resulted in making Mr.. st. Johns
relations with his business colleagues
very UNPLEASANT.

Cost Of the Convention.

The total cost of holding the Re
publican Convention at St. Louis was
much larger than many suppose. The
cost of the hall was $4,000 and the
$4,000 expended by the Citizens
League during the week was mere
bagetelle of what the visitors spent.
The 5000 persons who attended the
Convention spent on an average 500
making 100000, which added to the
amount spent by the newspapers is
enormous. The total cost for hold
