GOLD MEN WORKED UP
Many in Favor of a New Ticket
and Platform.
HILL ABSENT FROM CONVENTION.

He Pleaded Illness but Lieutenant shee-
han said He should Have Been Broughs
to the Convention Upon q Bed-what
whitney Says About a New Convention
TO Nominate a Gold Man and Adopt
Gold Platform.
CHICAGO, July l1.-There was conster.
nation in the gold ranks Friday morning
when IL was learned that Senator Hill was
not going TO be present, and the New
Workers. were furious over the matter. The
reason given for the absene was illness
Then he ought TO come on bed, sail
Lieutenant Governor Sheehan. "Hill
should be sent for at once" said Senator
Carter. IF we are going TO have IA bolt,
let's have IL, but don't let US have a sem

fools.
The gold situation was touchy and cx
citing The announcement that Governor
Pattison of Pennsylvania was for the
platform and ticket caused the first diyis'
ion and discussion. Then Hills absenc
created furore and finally there came
sweeping rumors that there would be IA
new convention, gold platform and
gold ticket This latter statement found
many upholders, but it was admitted that
any move in that direction Immediately
was an impossibility in view of the action
taken at the gold conference on Friday
night Mr. William c. Whitney voiced
the situation this way: 1--WE have already
taken means towards the accomplishment
Of an end. We shall know within thirty
days just what the people want US 70 do
and we shall do IL.
IL J. %, .1
That depends upon the action OF a com
mittee already appointed. At our moet-
ing on Saturday we provided COMMITTEES
of one from each gold state who should,
upon his return home, feel the pulse of his
people and report TO Senator Gray, of Del
aware his findings. Using those findings
as "A basis, we will come to a Judgment as
TO the advisability Of presenting a ticket
and Democratic platform.
The other gold states seem To take this
view of IL, but the present trend appears
TO be in favor of a new ticket and plat
form. The Hill absence caused the great
est furore.
Chairman Hncklcy OF the New York
delegation brought the first information
TO the convention hall that Senator Hill
would not attend and il sent coustcrna.
tion among the New York men. Delaney
Nicoll and Francis Bartlett of New York
sought to find Perry Belmont In order
that they might retire.
The sentiment was not confined 10 ths
New York delegation, and 10 soon became
evident that "A movement was crystalizing
tor an independent ticket. The feeling
for this move was freely voiced in the
leading eastern delegations.
Mr.. O'Sullivan, of the Massachusetts,
delegation, said with reference TO
his statement during the first
roll call in regard TO the alb
sence of the chairman and vice
chairman of the delegation from that
state that he did not know what their
actual plans were, but that there were
signs of disintegration in the Massachu-
setts gold forces and that he was anxious
to have the record made before they
could return. The delegation decided
Thursday night to cast twenty seven votes
for Pattison.
