WANTS NO COMBINE,
Candidate Bland Says He VIII Make No
Pledges to Anybody.

LEBANON, Mo-, July 8. - Ex- Con-
gresham Richard p. Bland, accompa-
MED by his wife drove to town during
the day. He went to the Bland club to
watch the bulletins as they came in
from the Chicago convention. In an
interview, speaking of the intense en-
thusiasm shown at the Chicago conven-
ton, Mr. Bland said
''That shows that the people are
aroused as they seldom are, but 1 hope
their representatives at Chicago will
not let their enthusiasm run away with
their Judgment. The platform will un-
doubtedly declare for 16 to /, but in
order to win we must have strong
man to fight for it,

'Mr. Bland, there would not be the
slightest doubt of your nomination if
any Of your friends at Chicago were
authorized to speak for yon and make
the usual combinations which bring
about such EXAMINATIONS, was sug-

Governor Evans Says 1t Will Likely Go to
Mr.. Teller.
CHICAGO, July Ex-Governor Evans
OF South Carolina says it is probable
that the Is votes from his state will be
cast for Teller on the first ballot. and
thereafter as long as there is a chance
of nominating the Colorado senator
Governor Evans says: IF the gold
delegates from the East carry out their
declared intention of sitting mute in
their seats when the vote is taken on
our platform am in favor of declaring
them no longer members of the con-
vention and turning them out. Such
action would be virtual reputation of
the platform and notice of opposition
to the choice of the silver people. In
such contingency Senator Teller
would be the man upon whom all the
silverites, regardless of party affilia-
tions,. would unite next November.

Probability of Gold Bolt.
Everywhere there is talk of gold
bolt, and it now seems very probable
that there may be definite action of at
least portion of the minority. The
leaders, however, are still exercising
their influence to restrain their follow
ers. The New York delegation has de-
cided not to withdraw. Ex-Governor
Flower, who at first advocated bolt,
changed front, but George B. Mcclellan
and Perry Belmont were for radical
action. The course of the committee on
credentials in deciding to unseat the
Michigan gold delegation had the ef-
feet, in an indirect way, of staying the
strong hand of the silver leaders. 1t
precipitated storm of protests from
the gold men, who said they considered
1t simply an exercise of force The
Massachusetts and Connecticut delega-
tions
Were Especially Incensed
and they threatened to either withdraw
from the convention or decline partici-
patton in it's action if the Michigan
delegation was unseated. Coupled with
this came the intimation that Senator
White, who had been selected for per-
manent chairman, would rule that a
nomination could be made by two
thirds of the delegates voting in the
convention. 1t was this latter threat
more than the other which decided the
committee on credentials to reconsider
the Michigan case. If such a ruling
were made the Bland men, with their
big lead, could compass his nomination
if the gold men declined to vote. The
friends of the other candidates became
alarmed at the possibility, and, with
swift combination against the Mis-.
sourian, made haste
