down to voting on propositions and men
the conference might find at its close that
1t left them less united than al the be-
ginning,
Mr.. O'Donnell of Colorado reiterated
his remarks of last Friday night that it
was necessary for the silver men to get
together so that the goldbug gs of the Eas,
could not throw their 300 votes in body
to some silver man less Objectionable to
the goldbugs and thus nominate him.
Such man nominated in such a way he
declared, could not carry Colorado.
Without taking any action, but with the
understanding that each of the delegates
present would endeavor to get in touch
with his delegation and ascertain if any
changes bad taken place, the conference
adjourned to meet again later.
The event of the evening was d confer
ence OF silver men at the Sherman House,
with the view of determining upon line
of procedure to defeat the National Com
mittee in the event that it sought to pre-
vent the name of silver man being pre-
sented in tom morrow's convention as tenn
porary chairman.
The conference was called for o'clock
and was to consist OF one member from
each State having silver delegation or
silver representatives. The members were
slow in arriving and ''whips" were sent
out. 1t was explained to those who hesi-
tated that there was but one set purpose
before the conference-to outwit the Ma
tional Committeeman names OF Candi-
dates would not be touched upon.
After a short recess the conference re-
assembled at IL O'Clock and a revised
count was made of the vote which could
be relied on to support the substitution of
Senator Daniels name for that OF Senator
Hill. The total of votes spoken for was
574 with is more expected before the con-
vention is called to order, making 500 for
the silver mems temporary chairman. 1t
was arranged that Senator Jones, who
presided at the conference, should make
the motion in convention substituting
Senator Daniel. A resolution by Senator
Jones was adopted calling upon ali silver
delegates to be in their seats by 1870 to-
morrow.
The conference at midnight adjourned
until tomorrow at o'clock.

Voting for HILL

Voting for Hill.
CHICAGO, Ill, July GA meeting of
the delegation Of the State of Washington
was held to-day with the following result {:
William II. White was elected chairman
K. c. McCroskey, resolutions; J. E. Fen
ton, permanent organization; J. L. Sharp
stein, rules; Thomas Maloney, creden-
tials; J. f. Girton to notify President and
Vice President.
Hugh Wallace, the present National
Committeeman, was reelected by vote
OF five to three, Messrs. White, Fenton
and Darling voting against him. After
the meeting Mr.. White, the chairman of
the delegation, denounced the action of
the delegates and stated that Mr.. Wallace,
being gold man, was not in accord with
the monetary views of the delegation, and
the silver men who voted for him would
meet with a warm reception upon their
arrival home.
Prior to the meeting OF the National
Committee this morning petition signed
by five silver men out of the eight was pre-
sented to Mr.. Wallace requesting that he,
in accordance with the expressed desire OF
the Washington Democratic State Conven-
ton which elected him on O silver plat
form. should vote in accordance with the
sentiments of his constituents and vote in
the National Committee for a silver man
for temporary chairman. Mr.. Wallace dis
regarded the request and voted for Hill,
but subsequently at the meeting of the
delegation he was reelected National
Com N mltteeman.

SILVER REPRESENTATIVES
They Hold Conferences to Devise
Means to Circumvent the
National Committee.


CHICAGO, ILL.,, July GA conference
of the accredited representatives of free
silver delegations assembled at the Sher-
man House at O'Clock this afternoon.
They represented 400 votes. Senator Har-
ris of Tennessee presided, with t. O.
Towles of Missouri as secretary. After
much discussion Senator Tillman of South
Carolina asked that the roll be called by
StaJes to decide whether the silver men
should get together and name slate for
officers of the convention and for Presi-
dent and Vice-President of the United
States to be supported in open conven-
ton by all silver men. The vote on this
proposition stood ayes lis, noes so, unde-
cded 900.
Previous to the vote and leading up to
1t was long and earnest debate Cover
nor Tiilman of South Carolina said it was
to his mind essential to present firm
front and to accomplish this organization
must be held. The goldbugs were here
now trying to SOW the seeds of disruption
and oisorganization>a and were sparing no
means in their power to do it. They we re
playing on the vanity of men by putting the
bee a-buzzing where, if the bee were lively,
it would De the last place it would seek
honey. Yet its effect was even now felt
in the fact that the silver men hesitated
to take the lead and keep it.
Governor Altgeld of Illinois stated that
from what he understood yesterday no
silver conference could be held which
would include all the 600 and odd silver
delegates in the convention. Neverthe-

OHIO'S DELEGATION.
1t VIII Go Into the Convention
Practically Unpiedged, but Nc
Lean Is Favored.


CHICAGO, ILL, July 6.-The Ohio dele
cation had an important and interesting
meeting to-day, and the upshot of it was
that the delegation will 60 into the con :
vention practically unpledged, but with
an overwhelming majority in favor of the
candidacy of John K. Mclean. Trouble
was started by the introduction of a reso-
luton by General E. B. Finley that the
delegates be instructed to vote for Nc
Lean as unit. The resolution was de-
bated bitterly for some time and Mr.. Nc
Lean was subjected to considerable criti-
cism.
S. n. Holding of Cleveland led the at
tack and was joined by Barton Smith of
Toledo and L. A. Claypool of Springfield.
Mr.. Smith made some remarks in opposi-
ton to the unit rule, while Mr.. Claypool
maintained that Mr.. McLean's newspaper
had not been straight-out Democratic
journal; that Mr.. Mclean therefore was
not good man to indorse. Friends OF
Mr.. Mclean defended him warmly, but said
they were not particular about the adop-
tion of the unit rule. All they wanted
was that the vote of Ohio should be cast
for him. Several OF the gold men ex.
pressed their intention Of voting for Mr..
Mclean and said their opposition was di-
rected entirely against any attempt at gag
rule.
General Finley finally amended his reso-
luton so as 10 make it read that the Ohio
delegation should present Mr.. Mclean as
their candidate for President and request
ed all delegates to vote for aim. To this
proposition an amendment was offered
providing that the delegation cast its vote
for Mclean. but that if his chances be.
came hopeless Individual memb bers be per-
mitted to vote for whom they pleased.
These propositions were vigorously de.
bated. Mr.. Patrick made a conciliatory
speech, in which he said that while he
would not have selected Mclean as the
Ohio candidate, he would support him.
Tom Il. johnson said he was sorry that
the question of unit rule had been up, but
admitted his Willingness in the interest oi
the party to bow to the will of the ma
lo-ity. Ulrich Stone made speech in de.
tense OF the unit rule and Iauded Mr.. Nc.
Lean.
A motion was finally made that the
whole subject be laid on the table and this
was finally adopted after an agreement
that the delegation express its preference
for candidates by an informal vote. The
vote resulted as follows: Mclean. 30;
Bland, 2; Carlisle, 1; Blackburn, /; Patti
son, / no choice, 2.

this afternoon to decide upon any candi-

DEAF MUTE MARRIAGE.

A Chicago Justice Had a Knotty Case,
But he Found Solution.
Chicago Chronicle.
A young man entered Justice
Fosters court room and close be-.
hind him came blushing young
woman. The visitor laid marri-
age certificate before the justice
and stood awaiting developments.
The judge looked at him and
smiled.
"You want to get married, do
youw he asked.
The young man made no reply.
els this the young woman"
asked the court.
There was no response from the
young man, but he drew q pad Of
paper from his pocket and wrote:
ave are deaf and dumb"
"Oh," said Justice Foster, "that
is different" Then he began to
wonder how he would perform
the ceremony. The certificate
from the county clerks office gave
permission to Christian Larson
and Allie Bathurst to wed, and all
that was necessary was to learn
whether they would promise to
love, honor and obey. At length
the court wrote on a piece Of paper:
"Stand up and join your hands,"
The couple arose when Christian
had read the message, and each
took the others hand. Then the
court wrote out the traditional
question:
"Christian Larson, do you take
Allie Bathurst to be your lawful,
welded wife,"
When Christian read the paper
he nodded his head energetically.
Then it was Allies turn, and she
gave her assent to her side Of the
bargain. After that Justice Foster
copied the marriage service on a
piece of paper and gave it to the
couple to read while he repeated
the words of the form. Both
smiled and nodded when he finish
ed, and thereupon the court pro-
nounced them married. Christian
turned to Allie and kissed her
heartily, and then they went away.
"This Is the only couple l ever
married whom am sure will lead
quiet married life," said his
honor.

The project OF a tunnel under the
Detroit river, instead OF bridge
above 1t, is being discussed and
meets with the favor of river men
and engineers. AS to the cost OF
the two, the estimates are in favor
of the tunnel, by almost million
of dollars. There is scarcely a
doubt that the safety Of operat.
ing the tunnel and the bridge
would also favor the under
ground structure. There would
be no danger from ice, no
long approaches by trestle and in
many ways it would suit the pub
lie best. There is a tendency to
60 down rather than up with these
heavy constructions whenever
practicable, and this new project
for crossing the Detroit river with
the least delay is likely to follow
modern ideas.

intendent of education and the

1t is plea for variableness in the
studies of the high school course,
giving to the pupils Of the adj
vanced classes the option of selec-
ton, within reasonable grounds,
of those studies for which they
show a greater adaptation, and
which lie more nearly parallel with
the work that is before them in life.
1t is time that studies were shaped
in some sense to fit the pupils,
and not the pupils shaped to some
cast iron scheme of study for
which they have no natural in
clination or adaptation, and which
will be of little or no practical ben
