COMMITTEE ON RULES.
No Proposition Made by a Gold
Man Can Meet With the
Slightest Approval.

CHICAGO, ILL, July THE Com
mittee on Rules met in the Sherman
House this evening and organized by
electing j. B. Richardson of Tennessee
chairman and +. B. Carter of Florida
secretary. n. d. Money of Mississippi
offered resolution providing for the ap-
pointment of a subcommittee of five to
draw up an order of business for the con-
vention and to report in half an hour.
Francis NJ. Scott of New York moved as q
substitute that the rules of the temporary
organization be recommended to govern
the permanent organization. These rules
were the same as adopted by the last Ma
tional Convention and those of the Fifty
third Congress so far as they apply. The
proposition of Mr.. Scott was not agreed
to. The silver men fought shy of it for
the reason that it was proposed by gold
man and they desired to be IN a position
to report further on the rules and order
of business whenever such report would
be deemed necessary by the majority.
Mr. Scott's substitute was voted down
by % to g. the nine representing the gold
element in the committee. Mr.. Moneys
resolution was then adopted. No change
was made in the representation accorded
to the Territories, which the silver men
talked of increasing from two TO six IN
each Territory. The chair appointed
Messrs. White of Michigan, Mcguire of
California, Money of Mississippi Hamil-
ton of Massachusetts and Richardson of
Tennessee as subcommittee to draw up
an order of business. No action was taken
regarding the two-thirds rule, but it is
understood the question will come up to-

date for the Presidency.

CHICAGO, ILL, July THE sound-
money men met in the Auditorium Hotel
this evening and after listening to num-
advised the gold men to bolt, the conven-
tion adopted res olution as follows:
"That a committee of one or more be
appointed from each State to confer with
the people and report the temper concern
ing the organization of the sound old
Democracy and how far such organization
should go for independent action next
November"
The meeting was organized at 8 O'Clock,
under the Craftsmanship of Senator Gray
OF Delaware. There were over 800 gold
men present, many of them representing
silver States where the unit rule has si-
fenced them in the convention. Nearly
every Southern State was represented.
During the meeting there was free ex-
change of views upon the situation, and
speeches were made by w. c. Whitney,
Frederick Coudert of New York, ex-Gover-
nor Russell of Massachusetts,, John P.
Irish of California and others. Some of
the speeches deliberately advocated the
nomination of an Independent gold Demo-
cratic candidate Much enthusiasm was
manifested during the session. and the
speeches were frequently interrupted with
cries of "Give US a separate candidate -
I'VE won't stand for silverite," etc.
Mr.. Whitney's speech was short and
very conservative. He tried to impress
upon the delegates that no National move
ment for an independent candidate upon q
gold basis would be wise unless the matter
had been fully discussed by the gold DEM
ocrats of the different States. He said ii
there was any boiling from this conven-
ton it should be simply an individual
affair intended as a protest of the gold
men against the action OF the convention.
he further sad that the presence of the
sound money men has had tendency to
make the action of the majority OF the
convention more conservative than il
otherwise would have been, and that ii
would likely proceed with more caution
tomorrow. He thought that the meas
ures adopted to-day were very harsh.
Yet they were, perhaps, light in compari-
son to those that would have been adopted
had it not been for the presence and de-
termined fight of the gold forces.
1t was decided that the men to be ap-
pointed by the different States in accord
ance with the resolution will report to
Senator Gray not later than August 1.
The resolution was discussed by most OF
the delegates present and was especially
warmly praised by the Southern Demo
Gratis in attendance. The delegates freely
expressed the opinion that the probable
outcome of the new movement would be
the nomination of gold man for the
Presidency by the sound-money Demo
Gratis. The meeting was protracted one
and did not adjourn until near midnight.

NEW YORK DELEGATION.
Congressman Su!zer Has a Lively
Tilt With Perry Belmont Dur
ing the Meeting.

CHICAGO, ILL, July 8. The New
York State delegation adjourned at 1:15
o'clock this morning after a session which
began at 1:30 O'Clock without taking
action on the question of supporting
free silver ticket.
Ex-Governor Flower presided, and
opened the proceedings with a speech in
which he indicated pretty clearly that he
believed in not indorsing the nominees
and platform of the convention provided
they represented free coinage.
Henry a. Purroy expressed opposition
to anything like bolt. Perry Belmont
favored Governor Flowers sentiments,
and expressed his unwiilingness to sup
port free-silver candidate.
A sensational speech was made by Con-
gresham Sulzer. in which he said he
would not bolt the ticket under any cir
cumstances, and when he returned 10 New
York he intended to call meeting OF his
constituents to indorse it. Mr.. Sulzer
characterized bolt as treason.
IL object to that word" cried Perry
Belmont.
you may place your own construction
on it, retorted Mr.. Sulzer.
Mr. Coudert answered Mr. Sulzer, and
expressed sentiments against supporting
free silver ticket, but said he would
abide by the will of the majority of the
delegation.
The meeting adjourned until 80 clock in
the morning without taking action.

served on the first day of the cOnven-
ton.
David Bennett Hill was recommended
by the National Committee for the tenn
porary craftsmanship and the silver
men, in accordance with Altgeld's in
structions, rejected the report of the
committee, snubbed and insulted the
New York Senator and placed Daniel of
Virginia, a man of much smaller caliber,
in the chair. Among the more Promi-
nent speakers on this occasion were
John II. Fellows of New York, NJ. f.

WHITE TO BE CHAIRMAN.
The California Senator Chosen to
Preside over the Democratic
National Convention.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, July THE commit
tee on permanent organization met in the
room provided for il in the Coliseum
building. after the adjour rnment of the
convention. General e. B. Filiey of Ohio
was elected chairman, ]. P. Brown of
Georgia secretary, and DR.. W. E. Wsbb of
Missouri sergeant-at-arms.
After the organization of the committee
had been effected 1t was supposed that
action would be taken upon the selection
of the permanent officers of the conven-
ton. 1t was the intention of the silver
men to do so at once, and they expected
some one representing the silver leaders to
be there to indicate what was desired to
be done. This did not turn out to be the
case, however. Some of the gold men
urged that the vote be Immediately taken.
The silver men feared that this was a case
of the Greeks bearing gifts, and moved a
recess of five minutes. during which they
retired and held a short caucus. Senators
Harris and White and ex-Congress-
man Bryan were mentioned for the chair
manship.
A committee of five members, consist
ing of George c. Gilbert of Kentucky, J.
E. Fenton of Washington, James V. Cole
man of California E. w. Carmack of
Tennessee and John M. Duncan OF Texas,
was appointed to confer with the silver
members and the Bimetalic League for
the purpose of selecting the proper chair
man and guiding the silver men OF the
full committee.
1t was decided that recess until even
ing be taken. Accordingly, when the COM
mittee resumed its session, motion to ad-
journ until s P. NJ. was put and carried.

There was no enthusiasm displayed here,

When the message came that the con-
vention had adjourned until Wednesday

sure" Then he went down the street to
