Chicago, July 6.-The delegations from

room, rushed out and, tearing down the
corridor to Senator Hills room, which
was at the extreme end of the hail. an
nounced the result. Mr. Hill received the
news in his usual impassive way. Gath
cred In the room at the time were Ex-
Secretary Whitney, Ex-Governor Flower,
Smith M. Wood and others. All congrat-
ulated the senator on his selection. Mr..
Whitney and the other gentlemen had
been waiting to hear from the national
committee on the temporary chairman
ship question and on the announcement
of the result left the senator's room.
A Southern Associated Press repre-
sentative asked Mr. Hill If he was satis-
fed with the result of the vote. "Oh,"
said the senator, with a shrug of his
shoulders, II don't care anything about
1t; 1t makes no difference with me one
way or the other"
"Will you prepare a speech as tenn
porary chairman" was asked.
We'll, now," said Mr.. Hill, 'I don't
think l will for divers reasons. What's
the use preparing speech 1 may not

fuse to accept the national committees

THAT LETTER AROyk,lD 1T
ALL THE SAME Mr.. HAR@ CONDEMNS IT

Chicago, July 6.-After a fight of nearly
three hours the North Carolina delega-
ton adopted the unit rule as to their cam
didate and platform. The motion was
carried by a majority of 1. The delega-
tion is in entire accord as to a 18
to plank, but split on the candidate
feature If the majority insists on the
unit rule with respect to the candidate
the minority WILL they assert, appeal to
the convention.
There was something approaching a
scene in the Tennessee delegation meet
Ing Senator Cockrell of Missouri pre-
sented BANDS claims and Mr. Walsh of
Iowa championed Boies. The senator's
from Tennessee We're understood to be
equally divided as to the merits of these
candidates.
In the course of the discussion Gov
ernor Boies' recently published letter was
read, In which he advocated unlimited
coinage, but limited legal tender for the
American silver product. This aroused
the ire OF Senator Harris and in the en-
phatic language for which he is noted
he condemned the action of Mr. Boies aa
more than foolish. He was surprised
that man like Boies should advocate
the policy credited to him, policy so
entirely at variance with the wishes and
desires of the free silver wing of the
party. 1t did not mitigate the wrath Of
Senator Harris to be informed that the
proposition of Mr. Boies was a compro-
mise suggested a long time ago to meet
conditions that did not now exist. Still,
he expressed his belief that Boies was the
most available man. This severe criti-
cism of his own candidate by Mr.. Har-
rls weakened some of the other dele
gates who had been inclined towards
Boies, and 1t is said somewhat weakened
his chances and increased those of Blande
No action was taken, the understanding
being that the delegation should mech
again to settle the question of candil
date. The delegation is bound by the
unit rule and the struggle promises to be
interesting.
The Texas delegates indorsed the cam
didacy of Bland for president and selects

HILL, 27 TO %.
Vote in Committee on the Temporary Chair
manship-The Michigan Gold Dele
cation Seated.

Chicago, July 6.-The national demo-
cratic committee assembled at 1245, and
the first thing announced was with re-
gret' that the request Of the press asso
Citations to be permitted to have repre-
sentative present during the sessions
could not be granted
Secretary Sheerin then called the roll.
1t was stated in the lobby that the rep
resentatives of the bimetallic league
were to be received. Senator Jones of Ar
kansas was spokesman for the delegation
from the league. He addressed the COM
mttee, and stated that she selection of
any one who was in accord with the
ideas of the silver men would be accept
able to them for temporary chairman.
He urged in the interest of harmony
that the wishes Of the majority be not
antagonized. He was given a respectful
hearing, and then withdrew without any
reply beng made to his request.
1t was decided by secret vote to pro-
ceed first to the settlement of the con-
tests for seats in the convention, or rath-
er for places on the temporary roll. 1t
was stated that the gold contestants
from Texas had withdrawn their contest,
and would press it no further. The va
rious contestants were called into the
room, and Messrs. Frenzel and Cooper
of the Seventh Indiana district, Clarke.
Raff, Schwaitler and Potts of the Eigh-
teenth Ohio district, Dx-COngreSSman
Bryan, for Nebraska and the Michigan
contestants were admitted.
The case of the latter was first taken
UP.
The Michigan contest was not ready
when called, and that of Frenzcl VS..
Cooper, from the Indianapolis district,
Indiana, was taken up. There was but
one delegate involved In this case, Hon.
w. e. English having been elected by
both district conventions. The state
convention recognized Cooper as the reg
ular delegate, and he bears the creden-
tials of the regular organization. Fren-
zel's case was presented to the commit
tee by Hon. A. G. Smith, ex-attorney
general of Indiana, and Cooper was rep
resented by Mr.. Crellip. Coope-'s claim
to the seat was sustained by the unani-
NOUS vote of the committee, with the ex-
ception of Mr.. Campau of Michigan.

claim to be possessed of little comm On
sense. 1 know that Senator Daniel will
be the Temporary chairman of this con-
vention, and that he will make the
speech If the gold men think that their
800 votes form the majority of this con-
vention, just let them try 1t. The silver
men are running this affair, and they
propose to run 1t after their own fash
ion. If the gold men do not like 1t, let
them bolt. hope they WILL
During the early hours of the day a
conservative spirit seemed to pervade the
more radical of the silver men and the
desire was expressed by many to avoid,
If possible, a clash in the convention.
The conclusion of the committee to rec
ommend the selection of Senator Hill
has caused sudden drop in this con-
servatism and the feeling between the
two factions of the party now seems to
be more bitter than before, if such a con-
dition be possible.
AS to the probable choice Of a presiden-
tial candidate to represent the free COIN
have brought no marked change in the
situation. Mr.. Bland's friends are doing
most of the claiming and shouting. Eff
forts to get the silver men to caucus on
the nominations in advance of the meet
ing of the convention continue to meet
with failure, some of the prominent silver
leaders declaring their fears that the re-
suit of such a caucus would be to create
dissensions in their ranks and aid the
"goldbugs' in their efforts to disorganize
them.
The California delegation appears to be
determined to present to the convention
the name of Senator White of that state,
despite the protests Of the senator that
he Is not candidate and does not de-
sire his name to be considered.
At the meeting of the delegation this
afternoon the matter was discussed sew
eral delegates stating that they believed
the time would come in the contest when
the convention would turn to Senator
White as the only man upon whom the
contending delegations could unite. For
this reason they proposed to keep him as
their candidate. Senator White, who was
present, entered an emphatic protest, and
If his wishes are respected the delegates
will look elsewhere for their candidate.
No attempt was made this afternoon to
decide upon any candidate other than
Mr.. White. With the California senator
out of the way the vote of the state would
be distributed among the various candi-
dates.

FIGHT FROM THE START.
The Prayer Is About the Only Part OF the
PreIiminaries to Go Unchallenged.

Chicago July Ex-senator Hills ex-
pressed desire is to be gratifed. The
first fight between the silver and sound
money forces will occur on the question
OF the temporary organization of the
convention when Chairman Harrity calls
it 10 order at noon tomorrow. Accord
ing to present appearances the prayer
is about the only part OF the preliminary
proceedings winch is likely TO pass un-
challenged. In no previous great nation
al convention has the Recommendation OF
the auly chosen ma lionaI committee in
regard TO a temporary presiding officer
been antagonized by minority report
and a demand for vote. but the present
gathering is an exceptional one ana Is
likely to break in upon precedent ia more
respects than one.
nv a vote Of % to 23 the majority of the
national committee today decided to rec
ornmend Senator David B. Hill as tenn
porary chairman Of the convention.
Mr.. c. s. Thomas of Colorado gave no.
tice that minority report would De pre-
sented recommending the selection OF
Senator John w. Daniel of Virginia and
that the convention would be asked to
make a choice between -the nwo nominal

same city, during that memorable all
night session which resulted in-the noni-
nation of Grover Cleveland Senator DAN
iel, with dauntless courage. faced for
over an hour hostile. bowling audience
as the especial champion OF Senator Hill,
the man who by the irony OF politics he
is now antagonizing. The method OF
proceeding tomorrow Will probably be
as follows: When Chairman Harrity
calls the convention to order as the rep
resentatIve of the national committee
and recommends the selection OF Senator
Hill as temporary chairman minority
member Of the national committee will
offer substitute naming senator
Daniel. Under all forms of po-
litical law a substitute must first
he voted upon. and the only open
nnes,ion in this case seems to be wbeth-
er or not Mr.. Harrity will recognize one
of his silver associates for the purpose OF
offering this substitute. the convention
not having been organized and no roll or
the delegates having been passed upon
The silver men claim that the CHAIR
mans act IN recommending tempo
rary chairman for the approval OF the
convention Is an admission that the con-
vention Is qualified to act upon II. III
this be true In the one case, they assert
that II must be so in the case of the sub
stitnte. Should Mr.. Harrity refuse to
put the motion for the adoption of the
substitute some silver member Of the
national committee on the platform will
put the question himself. ana the first
skirmish between the gold and the sill
yer factions win be preclpitnted.
II know very little about the parlia-
mentary status OF this matter said
Senator TilIman last night, "but I do
