Mr.. Dingley, the floor leader of the ma

should object to all leaves of absence,

OF sickness. The Importance of keeping
a quorum constantly in attendance, he
explained, compelled him to take this
step. A partial conference report OH
The General Deficiency Bill
was agreed to and the bill sent back to
further conference. The Murray Elliott
contested case from the First South
Carolina district was debated for four
hours, but vote was not reached. The

tire afternoon they prepared an estimate
Of how the conventian will stand on the
money question. They gave the silver
men 427 delegates, the gold men 3S7,
and put 90 in the doubtful column.
Messrs. Harrity, Sherley and Wallace
were the committeeman present during
the figuring.
Will Abolish the Two-thirds Rule.
"The two-thirds rule ought to be
abolished and it will be abolished" said
Mr.. Bryan while waiting in the Unity
building for an interview with Governor
Altgeld. "a few weeks ago l could not
have talked so positively on this point
for the reason that the certainty Of our
controlling the national convention had
not materialized. Now, however, as
the struggle for keeping us from having
a majority of the delegates has been
given up by the gold men, can speak
more confidently. There is no doubt in
the world that the silver delegates will
have sense enough to abolish the rule.
HHave we hopes of winning? Yes,
sir; positively we have. The Republi-
cans may straddle at St. Louis, as it is
said they will, but straddle will not
deceive the silver Republicans who are
sound on the money question"

Abolition of the TWO-thirdS

CHICAGO, June 8.-The two-thirds
rule, heretofore governing nominations,
will be abolished by the silver majority
in the Democratic national convention.
This is the positive prediction of w. J..
Bryan, the choice of Nebraska silver
Democrats for president. Mr.. Bryan
himself favors the abolition of the time
honored rule, and he says that there is
no question Of it's being wiped out. He
bases his prediction on the assumption
that the silver men will control the con-
vention. AS matter of fact, what is
assumed by the Nebraska leader on this
point is practically admitted by the gold
leaders.
