James Jefferies, the committeeman
from Louisiana, was not recorded as
voting. His support had been expected
by the friends of Senator HILL
WILL. BE A MINORITY REPORT.
After the result of the vote had been
announced the only exciting incident of
the afternoon occurred. Mr.. Thomas
of Colorado rose and stated that he had
been assigned the unpleasant task of
notifying the committee in case the
Senator from New York were selected
as the choice of the majority that a mi
nority report would be made, and the
name of the Hon. w. Daniel of Vir-
ginia would be presented to the conven-
tion as a substitute.
Thomas said. THE views of the Sen
ator from New York on the currency
question are at variance with those of
majority of the delegates to the con-
vention- He stands as the representa-
tive of the Eastern gold men. We have
been Informed by the press that these

men have sent delegations here to in
ffuence the action of the convention
and statements have been made by
these men in the press and at public
meetings which they have held in this
city that they will agree to no compro-
mise, and will spare no effort to accom-
plish their ends. We would say to them
that the majority will accept no com
promise, and also will spare no effort
to secure their purpose, which Is to
name a man in accord with their views
They do not desire to work in secret
but TO fight in the open, and therefore
notify the committee that a minority re-
port will be presented with the Hon.
John w. Daniel named for Temporary
Chairman, and they will ask that de-
Lucrative body be permitted to select a
presiding officer who is in accord with
the views of the majority
In conclusion, he asked Chairman
Harrity, in view of the statement that
had been made, what Kind of reception
the silver men might expect to be ac-
corded motion to submit the minority
for the majority report.
Mr.. Harrity responded with prompt
ness and some feeling that such a re-
Election upon the Chairman as was inn
piled in the question was not justified.
He was the only organ of the con-
yention, and should endeavor to dis
charge the duties that were incumbent
upon him with absolute impartiality

ommend a Temporary Chairman of the
convention, and Clayton, one of the del
egates from Alabama, named for the
position Senator John w. Daniel Of Vir-
ginia. He spoke briefly in support of
his nomination, urging the committee
to recognize the overwhelming majority
in favor of free silver that was known to
exist among the delegates at the con-
ventiOn, and at the close of his re-
marks he was loudly applauded.
Ex-Lieutenant Governor Sheehan of
New York presented the name of Sena-
tor Hill. setting forth his capabilities as
presiding officer and his merits as
Democrat.
No other candidates being named, the
committee proceeded to ballot and Hill
was chosen by a vote Of y to %.
Hill received the votes of the commit
teemen from the following States and
Territories: Connecticut, Delaware,
Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachu-
setts, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri,
Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jer-
sey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsyl-

from South Dakota, where delegation
of silver men, headed by DR.. Ross,
sought to secure the seats fortified by
the State convention to the delegation
headed by Delegate F. NJ. Slower. 1t
was a clear case of silver against gold,
put the committee decided without the
formality of a ballot and practically by
unanimous vote to seat the Slower or
gold delegation. This ended the con-
tests for seats in the convention as far
as the committee was concerned.
Mr. Bryan was somewhat surprised
at the action in the Nebraska case,
having been firmly of the opinion that
the gold men would lose the issue.
EX-POStmaSter- General Don M. Dick
lnson was more than usually smiling
and complacent when the vote upon the
Michigan contest was announced to him.
You Will notice. he remarked, that
Campaus motion to seat the silver DEL
egates received only his own vote, and
that the motion to give the gold dele
gates their seats was made by Charles
5. Thomas, one of the leading silver
members of the National Committee"
What will be done in the convention
about the matter?" Dickinson was
asked
"Oh, that's immaterial, quite imma-
terlal," he replied, airily, as he walked
away

The committee then decided to rec

and strict regard for the rights of
the members.
Mr.. Thomas disclaimed any intention
to reflect in the slightest degree upon
him.
Senator Sheehan followed in an i'm
rasSioned speech. He said: II recall
that four years ago, sitting in this very
room, then as now, members of the
Democratic National Committee, Mr..
Thomas and l labored and voted side
by side to secure the nomination as
temporary Chairman of the convention
about to assemble of the Hon. William
O. Owens of Kentucky. Mr.. Owens, as
is well known, was opposed to the nom
ination of the man who as developments
afteyward proved was the choice of an
overwhelming majority of that conven-
ton. We were successful then, as I
remember, by about the same vote as
that by which the committee to-day has
determined to recommend the selection
of the Senator from New York: but as
l also remember, there was on tho oc-
casion no Democrat so disloyal to the
only existing national Democratic or
ganiza ton as to even suggest to the
convention that it repudiate the judg-
ment and overturn the decision of the
National Committee. On the eve of
the gathering of the next National Con-
vention such action as that outlined in
the declaration of Mr.. Thomas will estab-
lish a dangerous precedent and those
who support him in the attitude that
he has assumed must be responsible for
whatever may occur for which their
acts may be taken as an example,
Sheerin, Secretary of the committee,
was named as temporary Secretary of
the convention, and John l. Martin Ser
geant- -at-Arms.
This completed the business before
the committee, and they adjourned sub
ject TO the call of the Chairman.
The moment the vote on temporary
Chairman was announced Don NJ. Dick
inson, who was in the committee room,
rushed out, tearing down the corridor
to Senator Hills room, which was at
the extreme end of the hall, and an
nounced the result

CHICAGO, July Ex-senator Hills ex-
pressed desire is to be gratified. The
first fight between the silver and sound
money forces will occur on the selection
of the temporary organization when
Chairman Harrity calls it to order to-
morrow. According to present appear
ances, the prayer is about the only part
of the preliminary proceedings which is
likely to pass unchallenged. In no pre-
Tious great national convention has the
recommendation of the National Com
mittee in regard to a temporary presid-
ing officer been anita gonized. But the
present gathering is an exceptional one,
and is likely to break in upon prece-
dents in more respects than one. By
a vote of % to u the majority of the
National Committee decided to recon-
mend David 3. Hill as temporary

an emphatic protest, and if his wishes

The magnificent majority of so, 600 for
the Republican ticket represents more
than mere party victory. 1t is vindi-
cation of New England intelligence. 1t
is protest against dishonesty, anarchy
and communism. Il voices the righteous
indignation of every veteran from Kit
terry to Quoddy Head at the attempt to
detile the flag under which they fought
the battles of the Union. 1t expresses
not only the sentiments of the Republican
voters but of many patriotic Democrats,
who could no longer support the party
and candidates masquerading under the
name of Democracy; party which de
MES free speech to those bred in the
Democratic faith; party that stands to-
day for dishonest dollar a prostituted
Judiciary and mob law: a party that is
I'M American and menace to Republican
institutions. This it is that has caused
Maine to roll a majority double what was
expected of hey. The State has respond
ed nobly TO the call upon her patriotism
and her intelligence. In neither respect
was She wanting. Every county has elect
ed the full Republican ticket Every seat
i'll tie State Senate will be occupied by a
Republican, and there will be less than a
bakers dozen of Democrats in the House.
Our four Congressman are returned by
largely increased majorities to maintain
Maine S prestige for another two years in
the National House.
Monday was a great day for Maine, and
for the country. The tidal wave that
started in Vermont has received an i'm

westward until it browns the enemies of
good government in their strongholds.
