TILLMAN AND ALTGELD IN EVIDENCE.
Previous to the vote and leading up to IT
there was long and earnest debate. Senator
Timan. Of South Carolina, said 1t was. to his
mind. essential to present a firm front. and to
accomplish this organization must be had. The
"goldbugs" were here now trying to sow the
seeds OF disruption and disorganization. and
sparing means in their power to do it,
They were playing on the vanity Of men by put
ting the bee a-buzzing, where. IL the bee were
lively 1t would be the last place it would seek
honey Yet its effect was now felt In the
fact that silver men hesitated TO take the lead
ard keep it.
Governor Altgeld of Illinois. said that from
what he understood yesterday, no silver con-
ference could be held which would include all
the 600 and odd silver delegates In the Conven-
ton Nevertheless II such a conference seemed
to those present wise and prudent. Illinois would
be found acting in concert to promote the silver
cause. Illinois had no candidate to present. and
hampered in no way which could interfere
with her giving her best efforts to nominate
candidate upon platform that would command
the majority Of the votes OF the people In NO
vember. Still, he thought, there might be some
danger in a conference OF so many as 6OO men
with no rules to guide them. and unless all
speeches were eliminated and they simply came
down to voting on propositions and men. the
conference might find at it's close that 1t left
them less united than at the beginning.
Mr. O'Donnell. of Colorado. reiterated his re-
marks Of last Friday night that 1t was neces-
sary for the silver men to get together. so that
the "goldbugs" of the East could not throw
their 300 votes in body to some silver man
least Objectionable to the "goldbugs" and thus
nominate him. Such man. nominated In such
a way, he declared. could not carry Colorado.
Without taking any action, but with the un-
derstanding that each of the delegates present
would endeavor to get in touch with his dele
CATION. and ascertain IL any changes had taken
place the conference adjourned to meet again
in the evening.

was explained to those who hesitated that there
was only one set purpose before the conference
