HILLS ROASTING.
TELLS THE DEMOCRATS OF THEIR
SILLY PLATFORM.
He Will Not Endorse It-Tillman's Usual
Slangy EfOrt-Ballot May Be
Reached This Evening.

CHICAGO, July 9.-Definite re.
suits are expected in the demo.
cratic national convention today !;
certainly on the platform, and
probably on the candidate, unless
"a deadlock develops. There is as
much uncertainty among the cam
didates on the eve of balloting as
there was before the convention
opened. 1t is significant fact
that no figure or estimate of their
strength is given by the leaders,
;and'it shows what large element
of doubt still exists.
Although Bland maintains his
lead, managers Of the other candi-
dates declare positively that Bland
is far from commanding the major
ity, and is very far from q two
thirds vote.
Anew phase of two-thirds 4ues-
ton has arisen by the possible
course of the gold men to refrain
from voting. In that event the
parliamentarians differ as to
whether the nomination must be
made by two.thirds of the dele
gates, present or two.thirds of those
voting. 1t is regarded by some Of
the leaders as a critical question.
They point lout that If silence on
the part of the gold men reduces
the voting strength to about 600,
rthenl400 would give a two-thirds
vote and Bland is dangerously
az l.ln
mentcas to the delivery of the block
of gold votes, some 300 in number,
if given to one of the silver candi-
dates, on the theory Of choosing the
least of several evils, might prove
decisive and would give the gold
men the advantage of debating the
nomination.
CHICAGO, July 9.-There is no
apparent change in the situation
this morning so far as the eastern
gold standard men are concerned.
Ex.P Postmaster General Bissell, of
Buffalo, was the main feature, and
fulfilled the wild rumors of a bolt
In but a small measure. Mr.. Bis
sell went to Buffalo late yesterday,
leaving his alternate to vote for
him. He says he could not stay
after the violation OF state rights
in the unseating OF the Michigan
gold men, to seat men who had no
state convention credentials. His
personal friend, Don M. Dickinson
was Interested in this matter and
his idea was that this was a DEM
onstration of the arbitrary ways in
which the silver men would run
the convention. Perry Belmont,
New York ley>Tracy, Albany;
Franklin Bartlett and Delaney
Nickoll, New York, and several
others from other states have de-
termined to follow similar course.
They will do 1t, however, in quiet
way, allowing their alternates to
vote. They will declare it is SIM
ply a matter Of principle with
them. They intend to make no
demonstration.
The committee on resolutions is
holding session at Convention
hall for the purpose of amending
the platform adopted by the tull
committee yesterday. The session
10 not q very pleasant one. The
vote just taken was upon the
amendment offered by Bailey, of
Texas, changing the financial
plank so it cannot be construed as
a declaration sgaint state banks.
The amendment was offered as a
substitute for that portion Of the
