 A SOUND SILVER MAN Senator Cockrell of Mis- souri Talks. Favors an Unequivocal Silver Plank at Chicago. And Wants a Man Nominated Whose Views Upon Silver None t Can Question.

CHICAGO, June '30.-Senator Cock rell was among today's arrivals. He is delegate to the National Demo- cratic convention and is here for pur- pose of attending the Democratic sil- yer conference.
 ''We shall nominate straight silver man on an unequivocal silver declara- tion in the platform" he said when asked for an expression of his views. T am, of course, for Mir. Bland" he continued, land our delegation is in structed for him, but if we cannot get him we shall get some other man who is sound on the currency question and Missouri will support him at the polls.
 The senator thinks the question will be made the paramount issue in the platform and that there will be a square declaration for the mintage of silver on terms of equality with gold at the ratio of 16 to 1, and without waiting for the cooperation of other nations.
 Senator Cockrell does not consider that there is any danger of a bolt by New York or eastern delegates

McCord, the com- plalnt being that defendant unlaw fully occupied place as citizen mem per or the territorial boarl of control rom which he had been removed by 5. J. Franklin, governor of the terri tory, such governor acting within his rights as established by an act of the territorial legislature. The case had heretofore been argued and submitted ana the judge had but to render his de- clSlon. 1t was for the plaintiff The decision was given the compliment of a large attendance of the attornevs At the par and was listened to with all at tentlon and with evident approval Judge Baker took over half an hour in explaining the processes of reasonino and the foundation of law upon which he based his decision, clearly dissect- Ing every point of weight raised by either side during the controversy.
 Judge Baker made many references to the "Federalist," Marshars Life of Washington, Brice's American Com monwealths and other political writers in his opinion. He quoted approvinglv from ex-President Harrison's articles now being published in the Ladies' Home Journal entitled "This Country of Ours"
 Digested, the opinion can best be comprehended in the following ex- tract:
 "The defendant contends that the act of the legislative assembly of this territory, giving the governor the power to remove any territorial officer is void, as being in conflict with section 1857 and 1858 of the act of congress governing all territories.

TELIAER'S CANDIDACY,
It Appears to Have But Slight Hold at
 Chicago

CHICAGO, June 3G.-Delegates who are arrived generally appear adverse to discussing the probability that Senator Teller will cut any figure in the Demo- cratic convention. The senator has a number of personal friends among ths silver delegates who have already ar- rived and among them some who would not be adverse to his nomination for president. They feel, however, the conditions are not ripe for the spring ing of his name and say it would be opposed to the interests of both Sea- ator Teller and the silver cause to bring him to the front at this time, if at all
 There are also a number of Tellers silver Republican and Populist friends in the city who are devoting themselves more to watching the course of events than to any active work
 The Populists who are here say open ly that MT. Teller is the only man the Democrats can nominate that they will endorse.

 WAS A LEGAL WATERLOO McCord and Cole Are
 OuSteG. Strong Decisions Rendered by Judge Baker. Another Judgment Given Com mands Payment Of the Out standing Warrants.

Yesterday was a busy day with the district court of the Third district and great were the results.
 The cash that has for these many months been accommodating in the vaults of the territorial treasury was ordered disbursed, according to the date of the registration of the warrants presented for redemption.
 M. H. McCord was busted from the office of citizen member of the terri torial board of control and in his place was confirmed T. J. Wolfey.
 P. J. Cole was busted from the office of territorial treasurer and in his place. was confirmed T. E. Parish. .''
 And, settling contention on law point upon which there had started dire contention, Judge Baker declared that the territorial statutes were legal and unassailabIe in the section that gives the governor of the territory power to remove any territorial officer at will.
 The case of Wakelin and others against Cole, was the first to be brought up at the morning session. This was a suit on mandamus, usually deemed to have been at the instance of Cole himself, asking that the treas urer, in compliance with the funding act of the last congress cease pay ments on all warrants of date prior to January 1, 1896, leaving such prior warrants to be paid from the proceeds of the sale of the last lot of funding bonds, and that warrants of subse- quent date be considered as entitled to the cash in the treasury Some such action was inferred by the terms of the act; though theI execution of that act has been decidedly modified by the fact that the bonds specified have not been sold, negotiations for their pur- chase abroad having lately fallen through.
 In his decision Judge Baker stated that he had heard the case some time ago and had withheld his judgment at the request of both Governor Hughes and Governor Franklin, the reason be- ing that the bonds referred to were on the point of sale. The sale has not been made; it would appear there is little likelihood of such sale in the inn mediate future and the cash is held in the treasury in large sum. It was therefore ordered that the territorial treasurer immediately issue his call and pay all warrants in the order in which they have been issued and regis tered This order does not, the court explained, in any wise conflict with the funding act, which is permissive only and not mandatory. The newer war rants of the territory will therefore take their places and be paid in turn.

ant strikes are reported from Willow Creek district. One is in Woman's Right claim. In this property an ore body twenty-three feet wide has been opened. What the average grade of the ore is has not been ascertained, but four samples taken returned s1O9, $147, s197 and s219 in gold per ton. This discovery has caused much excitement and it is believed that the ledge is the mother lode of the district. The other strike is in the Blue Bucket claim on Rock creek in the Willow Creek dis trict. It has opened seven feet of free milling ore of good grade. There have been no assay tests, but by banning the ore it is shown to be rich.

READY FOR THE BATTLE Delegates Are Gathering at Chicago. No Quarter to Be Granted Gold Men.

The Two Thirds Rule Likely to Be Abrogateo by the Majority of
 the Convention.

CHICAGO, June Ex-Governor w., J. Stone of Missouri arrived this morning accompanied by Nicholas M. Bell, J. w. Hickey and J. w. Farris, who is from Lebanon, the home of Congress man Bland. They come early to as- sist in promoting the Bland boom. Governor Altgeld and Secretary ol State Henrichsen also arrived today. Hinrichsen said: '"The silver men will control both the temporary and perma- nent organizations and adopt free silver 16 to 1 platform. The gold standard men present will not vote the ticket, so they will be ignored. Last year when the Democrats Of Illinois held a convention and declared for free silver wrote Whitney and other gold standard Democrats asking for coR- ference between the gold and silver men. The replies were short and curt. They could not think. of consulting with SO insignificant a faction as the free silver wing represented. Things are changed now. We have two-thirds of the delegates We will not confer with the gold men because we have nothing to confer about"
 Iue SuppOTutTS Ul bldnu nave ue- cided upon plan of campaign. Every effort will be made to capture the del egates when the various states arrive and to aid that work it was determined to have headquarters at the Palmer as we'll as at the Auditorium. The name of Bland will be presented to the
 convention by Senator Vest, who is
 now preparing his speech.
 The Illinois delegation of the Ma tional Dem mocratic convention voted unanimously today to support in con vention a resolution for an abrogation of the rule requiring the presidential | candidate to receive the votes of twO- thirds of the convention to insure nom inAtion. The proposition was support Sd in an earnest speech by Altgeld.
 He declared that the two thirds rule has been curse to the Democratic
 party. Governor Boies will not attend the Chicago convention. He decided last night to yield his position as the head
 of the Iowa delegation to Judge Van Wagener of Sioux City.

pursuance of its purpose contain any thing which conflicts with the act of congress? If so, the statute is void.
 Section 1857 of the act of congress deals with appointments to office by the governor only; it is silent as to removals. The act of the legislature is silent as to appointments and deals with removals only. The purpose, therefore, of the statute, as expressed, is not the same as the purpose of the act of congress, hence, I see no express conflict between the act of congress and the statute of this territory.
 -, "As to implied conflict, hold that for more than 100 years in this coun- try, under a similar clause of the con- stitution of the United States as the act of congress in question here, it has been the judicial and the legislative construction that the president of the United States has the power of re- moval.
 "The better opinions have always dealt with the clause by and with the advice and consent as a confirming power only. By analogy l, therefore, reason that the governor of this terri tory has the power of removal, except when restrained or circumscribed by local legislative enactments; and as we see, the legislature of this territory has expressly given the governor the power of removal. T"Section 1858, in my opinion, was not intended to govern in all cases of vacancy. The governor having the spower to remove territorial officer, thereby creating vacancy in such Of flee, I hold that it is an inevitable con- sequence that he has the power to fill such vacancy by appointment during the recess of the legislative council.
 "The courts have nothing to do with the policy of the legislature in passing law. It is said that this power of removal in the governor is an immense and dangerous reach of power, and, while I agree with a great many ex- pressions used by the counsel for the defendant along that line, I am con- strained to say that they are argu- ments for the legislature only.
 '"The legislative assembly of this territory created the office of citizen member of the board of control, and it seems to me that the legislative as sembly has the power to prescribe how such officer may be removed.
 l "The defendant in this case accepted the office created by the legislative as- .sembly of the territory, the salary of which is paid by the people of the ter i ritory, and I think it but reasonable to conclude that he accepted it with the understanding that the governor of the territory had the power to re- move him from such office, under and
 by virtue of the act of the legislature in question The governor, under the law, must assume all responsibility for the fitness of his appointee and the ex-
 ercise of the power conferred upon him."

COLE ALSO DEFEATED.
Declared to Be Unlawfully Occupying
 Office.

The case of the Territory against Cole, defendant, also standing in the position of occupancy of office after removal by the governor, was called at 2 o'clock.
 In this case an element had been in terjected that gave something of a com in the morning left no doubt as to the decision of the court on the illegality of a further occupation of the office by Cole, after all prerequisites to pos session has been satisfied by the indi- vidual, Parish, whom the governor had appointed as Coles successor Parish had filed and had had approved bond of $40, ,O00 for the faithful per formance of his duties as treasurer, but had overlooked the fact that the treas urer is now the custodian of the signed and effective bonds of the territory, re- turned unaccepted and now in the pos session of a trust company in New York. AS such custodian Cole had filed bond in the sum of $317 800 and such bond, it was claimed, must be duplicated by Parish before he could assume charge of the office. This would appear to have had force with Attorney-General Wilson as with the court, for at the opening of the after noon session Colonel Wilson arose to move to amend his complaint and to introduce in evidence an additional bond for the sum required. This ad- ditional bond, which had been during the day approved by the governor and filed with the secretary of the territory removed, in the opinion of the attor- ney-general, the only objection that could in any wise be successfully raised by the defense. 1t was a matter that could not affect the material rights of the relator; the bond of the treasurer entitled him to the custody of the of flee. The bond as custodian of the funding bonds was side issue, a point raised by the defense since the suit began and which might quickly be set tied. Its test would be, considering the rulings of the morning, that upon the filing of this additional bond. an action in mandamus must be effective if the aid of such law process be called in.
 Messrs. Chalmers and Campbell for the defense opposed the application as involving the introduction of matter foreign to the original action and as contrary therefore to established rules of law and procedure.
 Assistant Secretary of Territory Devereaux appeared and was sworn as witness, producing the new bond of $317 800 in all it's length and amplitude.
