THE M'LEAN BOOM.

It II Ready to Be Sprung at a'Moment's
Notice, If Advisable.
CHICAGO, July mo Mclean badges
have yet appeared among the Ohio del.
egates, but the boom of the Ohio jour
nalist is met with everywhere. It is
underneath the surface so far, but the
friends Of Mr.. Mclean are prepared to
bring it forth at the first opportunity.
They expect to see the two leading can
didates, Bland and Boies, pull each 9TH
er down and open the door for dark
horse. Unless they are convinced be-
fore the presentation Of names is
called for in the convention
that their champion has q
much more than fighting chance his
name will not be formally offered for
first place on the ticket. The sugges-
tion Of McLean's candidacy has met
with strong favor among many of the
delegates but the drift Of sentiment
seems to be that he cannot possibly
reach the first place. and must
content himself with the tail Of the
ticket. This is all his friends origias
ally hoped for but with the prospects Of
big tangle ahead they have been en-.
couraged to hope that they may be able
to land him at the head of the ticket.

CHICAGO, July 7.-The situation in
the Eastern gold standard camp has
crystallized enough to enable one to get
q more settled idea Of plan than has
hitherto prevailed. The gold men will
not as body leave the convention, and
1t is doubtful if any delegates take that
course. The leaders are all against it.,
though it is believed that Mr.. William
@. Whitney would be pleased to see an.
other convention with gold standard
platform.
The most radical action that the gold
men will take has practically been set
tied, and that is to follow the plan
adopted by the Montana delegation in
the national Republican convention in
st. Louis, to remain in the convention
hall, with the notification that they viii

majority of the New York delegates are
apparently Of the same mind, and
Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, the
other two leading states in the gold
movement, are in sympathy.
It is rumored that Boies has been
dickering for the Eastern vote, and a
few silver states that have had Vice
President Stevenson in mind are also
looking to New York and other gold
states for votes. Pennsylvania is not in

fore il. Unlike the action of the Re-

the Michigan and Nebraska cases.
These, Il was expected, would deter
mine the relative strength Of the gold
and silver men ON. the committee. The
Nebraska case was settled in favor Of
the gold men by vote of 26 to %,
which was about test vote, as was
shown later by the vote on temporary

Immediately decided that it was too

CHICAGO, July 7.-The night session
of the silver conference was devoted al.
most exclusively to the subject of the
temporary craftsmanship. The spirit
which prevaded the meeting was de-
cidedly pugnacious and the silver men
decided to put forth their utmost en-
deavors to score signal winning. On
motion Of Mr.. O'Donnell of Colorado
the roll was called to determine whether

CHICAGO, July THE situation is all

the situation and obscures the vision of
the wisest and most far-seeing leaders.
That is the convention viii be for silver
at 16 to /. As for candidates, the con-
vention is still cropping in the murk.
Bland is unquestionably in the lead so
far as actual votes are concerned, his
strength approximating $50, liberal
estimate, with Boies moving along at
his heels with about 200, but neither is
able to demonstrate as yet how he can
win. In this chaotic condition of af.

Surprised the Silver Men.
The action of the committee in seat
ing the gold delegation from Michigan
was q surprise to the silver men. But
/, one vote was cast against placing the
gold men on the temporary roll, and
that was cast by Mr.. Campau, who is
one of the silver leaders Of Michigan, q
most pronounced silver man, and one
who has been emphatic in his denuncia-
tion of the present administration.
Mr.. Thomas Of Colorado made the
motion to seat the gold delegation and
~ members Of the national committee
voted to do so. In view Of threats that
have been made by the silver men that
the four delegates at large from Mich
igan would be unseated in order to cast
the vote Of that state for silver and se-
cure two-thirds majority in the con-
svention it remains to be seen what ac-
tion they will take now that the silver
men on the national committee, with
one exception, voted to seat the gold
delegates. In the South Dakota contest
