DECIDED UPON NO COURSE.
Administration Men Are Dazed Mt
the Unexpected Result. .


The administration leaders arc still In
q dazed condition. They were fully pre-
pared for a free coinage platform, bus they
have nos decided what position they
shall assume toward it.
Personally none OF the men OF influence
who surround President Cleveland approve
either the candidate or the platform
adopted at Chicago. They do not hesitate
in private conversation to say so, but
they are undetermined whether it were
better to nominate Il second ticket repre-
senting sound money views or combine
with the Republicans in support OF No
Kinley.
Generally speaking. a second ticket ID
thought to be inadvisable. 1t is feared
that by dividing the sound money vote
the cause itself would be placed in ieop-
ardy. 1t is argued. on the other hand,
that this would prove a source of strength
to the gold standard. inasmuch as many
sound money Democrats wo1ld give their
adhesion to such a ticket who might other
wise vote for Bryan as matter OF party
loyalty.
There is a disposition on the part Of
some of the administration leaders to
await the report OF the New Yorkers, par
ticularly Messrs. Whitney. Flower and
others. who returned east Friday. It is
thought that since these gentlemen spent
week at Chicago. mingling freely with
representative men in both wings of the
party. they are better fitted to Judge
the line of policy To be followed than
those at Washington. who are dependent
for their information upon the daily press.

NO BOLTING CONVENTION.

Gratis Fails

Scheme Sf Illinois Sound Money Demo-
Gratis Fails.
Chicago, July 1.-THE Illinois anti-frce
silver Democrats, who have been actively
represented from the beginning of the
fight by Cook county party leaders, were
disappointed today to find that they had
been practically left alone in the West 10
meet and decide the question of another
Democratic national convention.
The announcement last night by the
Illinois Sound Money Democratic League
that an address would be issued to the
Democracy of the United States, setting
forth the necessity for another Democratic
convention, was expected to be followed
by the cooperation of the recus;int Eastern
delegates.
The Eastern States did not make any
formal declaration in favor of the stand
taken by the Illinois and Texas golt, stand
ard men.
1t was said in explanation that many Of
the delegates had left for their homes
and that the prevailing sentiment was to
test the feeling of their people on the
question before openly declaring for
another convention.
Franklin MacVeagh, chairman Of the.
committee appointed 10 draft the address,
and other Cook county gold leaders ex-
pressed their disappointment at not re-.
ceivinS prompt support from their Eastern
friends. The address is teing prepar red
and may be Issued Monday.
