After the result of the vote was and
nounced. Mr.. Thomas of Colorad O state a
that the minority report would bn
made, and that the name of Hon. Joht-
W. Daniel of Virginia would be presen
ed to the convention as substitute
Mr. Sneerin, secretary of the commit
tee named as temporary secretary of the
convention John |. Maiden. sergeant at
arms. This completed the business be-
fore .thescommittee,s sand at 8. 45 p m. it
adjourned, subject to the call of the
chairman.
The moment the vote on the temporary
Craftsmanship was announced, Don. NJ.
Dickinson, who was In the committee
room, rushed out to Senator Hill's room
and announced the result. Mr.. Hill re-
ce1ved the news in his usual impassive
way. Mr.. Hill was asked If he was sat
listed with the result of the vote.
''Oh!'' said he, Il don't care anything
about it; 1t makes no difference to me,
one way or the other. -
Will you prepare speech as tempor-
ary ohairman? was asked.
II don't think will, for divers reas-
ons. What's the use of preparing a
speech I may not have chance to de-
liver -
"Do you think the convention will
refuse to accept the national committee S
ecommendationr'
don't know. 1t is hard to tell what
the enemy will do under the circum-
Stances.''
The method of proceeding tomorrow
will probably be as follows: When Chair
man Rarrity calls the convention to Or
der as the representative of the national
committee, and recommends the selection
OF Mr.. Hill as temporary chairman, a
minority member of the committee will
offer substitute, naming Senator DAN
iels. Under all the forms of parliament
ary law. substitute must first be voted
on. The onfy question of interest in the
case seems tt be whether Mr.. Harrity
will recognize one of his silver associ-
abes.
Should Harrity refuse to put the mo-
tion for the adoption of q substitute,
some silver member of the national COM
mittee on platform, will put the question
himself, and the first skirmish between
the gold and silver factions will be pre-
cipitated.
Tillman said tonight, Senator Dan
iels will be the temporary chairman Of
this convention, and he will make the
speech. If the gold men think their
three hundred votes are the majority of
this convention just let them try it. The
silver men are running this affair, and
they propose to run it after their own
fashion.
During the early hours of the day q
conservative spirit SCENE to pervade the
more radical of the silver men, and the
desire was expressed by many to avoid
If possible, a clash in the convention.
The conclusion of the committee to re-
commend the selection of Senator Hill
has caused a sudden drop in this oonserv.
atism, and the feeling between the two
factions of the party now seems to be
ore bitter than before.
Convention Gossip.

was the centre of convention life and
movement this morning. The prevailing

consider the subject Of candidates.

the name of John r. Mclean for the
head of the ticket.
George Fred William has set to work
to stop all talk about his name being
used either for Temporary chairman or
Vice President on the ticket.
Mr.. Williams says that such thing
would be too much in the nature of q
reward for his action and that he will
not for An instant tolerate such use of
his name. He announced hi mself for
Tree silver after mature deliberation, and
as result Of conviction. and he wants no
reward for doing what he thinks is his
duty.
