They elected Senator Ipll for tempo
rary chairman by the same vote, not
wlthstandIng the protests OF the silver
men that being In the majority, their
aide was entitled to the initial utter

The result Is that silver men will BUG

that II elected, Senator Illll will per-
hapS. greatly surprise those who elect
cd him, by making IL speech, which
whilc\it would oppose free coinage,
would advocate submission to the Will
OF the majority as one OF the cardinal
principles OF the Democratic faith. But
on this point the silver men have
their teeth set. There was some talk Of
some sort Of high handed parliament
tary procedure on Chairman Ilnpity's
part, by which Mr., Illll could be ihstnll-
cd over the protest or the convention,

this Is impossible. THE name offered

M'KlNLEY's TRIP

Good Health and Spirits.
CANTON, o., July G.-Lettcrs con-
tinued to come In this morning from
points along the New York Central and
Boston L. Albany railroads making In
qulry ns to the time Governor Mckinley
will pass along these lines on his way to
Boston and Roxbury. Mass. for vaca-
tiOn and rest,
As Hdid In thcse dispatches fast Thurs
day, Major Mckinley felt compelled TO
abandon the idea Of enjoying the plens-
urr OF yuch Il visit as his friends have
been advising him to take. Despite the
stirring times through which he has
passed, he looks more cheerful and In
better health this morning than for
many months past. Saturday and Sum
day were days Of comparative restful-
nesS. and 1t takes but very little quiet
for him to pick up and appear In his
usual good health.
This IL the day that Il was expected
the trip east would be taken, but Gov
ernOr Mckinley was found nt his home
busy with his mail. When asked by the
Associated Press reporter what authori-

that he would visit ROxhury. +" replied
simply that no matter how much pleas

THE GOLD PROGRAMME.
The Advocates will Not leave the Con
rentton In Isody.


CHICAGO. July 6.-The situation In
the eastern gold standard camp has
crystalized far enough to enable one TO
get more Idea OF a settled plan than has
hitherto prevailed. The gold men will
not US body leave the convention, and
1t Is doubtful II any individual members
take that course. The leaders are all
ugainst 1t, though II Is believed that Mr..
William C. Whitney would b" pleased
TO see another convention with Il gold
standard platform.
The most radical action that the gold
standard men Will take has practically
been settled and that is TO follow the
plan adopted by the Montana delegation
on the national Republican convention
In St. Louis. TO remain In the cOnven-
tlon hail with the notification that they
will act IN their individual states as TO
support OF the platform and national
ticket az the Democrats OF their states
desire. Such Tammany men as Senator
Cantor, Congressman Sulzcr and John
c. Sheehan assert that they will abide
by what the majority does, and will not
bolt or refuse 10 vote on any question.
The majority OF the New York delegates
are apparently OF the same mind, and
Massachusetts and Pennsylvania, the
other two leading states In tho gold
movement. are In sympathy.
As TO the action OF the convention on
the temporary chairmanship. the dele
gates Will fight tooth and nail for Hill,
and they are very clipper tonight with
the hope that they may secure number
OF silver votes TO aid them.
1t Is believed that gold men TO make n
show OF fairness In the convention will
vote 10 unscat the Nebraska gold men
seated by the national committee, and
will ask support In returning silver men
for the Michigan gold men and for Hill.
It has been rlmored that Bolcs has
been dIckcring for the eastern vote. and
that few silver FtatcS that have had
vice president Stevenson IN mind. are
also looking to New York and other gold
states for votes. Pennsylvania Is not'in
this alleged dicker remaining faithful
10 PattIson. Altgeld and Senator Jones
arc most disturbed. and demand short
convention, but the gold men say that 1t
will be prolonged one.

AUBURN, Neb.. July 6-About 10 days

Bishop Bonacum to appear before the
