WILL BE A NARROW MARGIN.
Senator Hill Figures u Close Fight
on Silver ut Chicago.

Senator Hill has been doing some
figuring on the possibility of tho silver
Democrats controlling at Chicago, SAYS
tho Washington Post, and has come
to the conclusion that the result will
depend upon q very narrow margin.
In fact, he figures that it is quite pos
siblo that the sixteen votes of Nebras-
ka, one way or the other, may decide
the contest. AS is we'll known thero
will be two delegations from Nebraska,
one alleged to be composed Of Federal
Oilicc-holdcrs and other sound money
men, and the other being the repre-
sentativcs OF the silver faction of the
parry. The National committee, which
will nuke up the temporary roll Of the
convention, has majority Of gold stan.
dard men, it is said, and upon its de-
cision as to the seating of ono Of the
Nebraska delegates the whole outcome
of the convention may hinge.
The Post recently, in estimates Of
the silver outlook, placed illinois first
In the silver and later in the doubtful
co'umn. Senator Hill puts it do wn for
silver on the advice Of Senator Palmer,
who reluctantly admits that the silver
men have the machinery OF tho State.
1t is nov said that tho gold men cannot
even get the Cook county delegation,
"HiCH Lley nOpSu W ContfOl. LII OtnCr
States the free silver men have been
given the organization without u strug-
sic, buo Senator Hill says that he does
not believe that this ought to be the
case at the National convention. He
expects to so to Chicago at the head
Of the New York delegation, but even
should the silver men seem to be in
the majority he will not abandon the
fight until it is evident from a vote
that they are intrencbcd in their posi-
ti0n.
1t seems to be generally admitted
that the free silver delegation from
Texas will be accorded seats in the
convention without question. Sena-
tor Mills says the Democrats with O.
few exceptions, are with the free sill
yer tide, and that the regular organi-
zation Of tho State is certainly for
silver.
Ex-Spcaker Crisp said yesterday
that he thought the unit rule would
be enforced in all the silver States. in
Guiding Georgia, since the gold men
had forced tho rule on the silver men
in Michigan.

pcrance.
The 5lst session o. the Southern
Baptist Convention adjourned at noon
on the 18th inst. to meet next year at
Wilmington, N. G., the first Friday
following the first Sunday in May.
When the convention convened, bat
few delegates were in their seats, but
The auditorium was soon comfortably
hlied. Tho reports from the COM
mlttees on young peoples work, and
finance, and business of the Sunday
school board were read and accepted.
The committee recommended that
arrangements for printing be left to
the discretion of the Sunday school
board. EnrOllment committee report
cd that ol9 delegates ont of total of
l,lG2 accredited to The convention had
attended. A long and heated debate
was precipated by the Introduction of
u temperance resolution by j. B. Gran
fill, OF Texas. DR.. Cranfill WAS vice
presidential candidate in 1892 on the
prohibition ticket. The resolution
took advanced ground against tho
liquor traffic in all ram itications, and
advised the expulsion by the churches
OF members engaged in the business.
Frank Eaton, son of Dr.. II. II. Eaton.
pastor of Walnut street Baptist Church,
now travelling abroad. objected to it
first as Il political manocrvre. thon
denounced it as an effort to reflect on
his father. whose church has had as
Nom borg for many years. two we'll

late Doctors Manly and Broadus, the
pillars in the church. as upholding DR..
Eaton's past action, and the debate
became quite acrimonus. Finally
young Eaton. failing to secure post
ponement o! action. offered a com
promise amendment, which expressed
the hope that the action proposed by
the resolution, might in timo be taken
by the churches, and added, as u rider
that we hope the time is coming when
baptist churches will not retain in
their Fellowship members who fail to
render account for mission money held
in trust. This was Il back handed slap
at DR.. Cranfill, and referred to an un-
pleasant incident of past history in his
relations with his State conventions
1T reopencd an old sore, for Doctors
Eaton and Crantill have been at odds

tabled, and the resolutions finally
passed almost unanimously. \ resolu-

tine, with headquarters at Jerusalem.
After thanking the press and peo-
ple of Chattanooga, the convention ad-
