sILYER AND GOLD FORCES.
Democrats of Cook County ArrGyed
in Battle ROyaI.

in Battle Royal.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, May 5.-The silver and
gold forces of the Democratic party
machinery of Cook County were arrayed
against each other in a battle royal to-
night at a meeting of the Cook County
Democratic Central Committee, and silver
won. The issue was not so much on the
monetary question as upon the question
of the committees right to hold the
primaries for the county convention in the
manner the committee saw fit without in
reference on the part of the "sound
money Democrats, led by Mayor Hop
klns and Alderman Cullerton.
The action of the administrative county
Democratic body is a fattering triumph
for Governor Altgeld, and the probabili-
ties are that he will now be the nominee
of the State Convention for Governor on a
silver platform, unless the Democratic
voters of this county declare against free
silver.
BY vote of IA to AZ the committee de-
cided not TO adopt the plan of the gold
Democrats to have the County Convention
held June to elect delegates to the State
Convention, or to have the primaries held
under the Crawford law. with three super
visors, composed of three silver and three
gold mem bers OF the committee.
1t was decided to hold the county con-
vention May 26 and the primaries the day
before, and the appointment of judges and
clerks, the main bone of contention, will
rest with the executive committee and the
committee on primaries contests and ap-
peals wherever the regular election board
clerks and judges do not serve. The silver
faction is in big majority on both COM
mittees.

SENATOR MORGAN OUT AGAIN

Will Inquire Into OHensive Pdrtisanthtp
Cases IN Michigan.
NEW YORK, n. Y, May 5.-A Wash
ington special says: Senator Morgan was
in his seat yesterday for the first time
since his recent illness.
1t is his intention to make a speech
within few days on the conduct of some
$50 Postmasters and ouher Federal Office
holders who took part in the recent Michi-
gan Democratic State Convention. These
office-holders, it is claimed, have violated
the spirit and letter OF the civil service re-
form law.
Senator Morgan has prepared a resolu-
ton of investigation which will be offered
shortly. He wants to know how so many
Postmasters were able to leave their posts
of duty without first obtaining the formal
consent of the Postoffice Department,
which is prerequisite to such absence.
Senator Morgan has in his possession
several copies of an interesting circular,
sent out it is said, either by Don NJ. Dick
inson or his partner, Mr.. Stevenson, to
these Postmasters, urging upon them the
great necessity of securing sound-money
delegations to the Detroit convention. 1t
also requested their presence wherever
possible.
Senator Morgan believes that free sill
yer majority in the convention was turned
into sound money majority. He is anx-
ious to learn whether Federal otfice-hold-
ers were responsible for the change.
