that course, who contend, as did Gov

Cancelled upon general principles. H.,
however, IL Is abrogated, the action
will be due 10 the difficulty OF secur-

II Is contended by many that by the
time the nominating stage is reached

strength OF the convention, and they
argue that II this should prove to be
the case there would be no necessity
for changing the rule.

honest Employee.

1IcAGo, Ill, July :. 49, Officials
OF the Chicago & Alton railroad in
Chicago have just discovered that n
gang of employees, among whom are
passenger train conductors and sta.
ton agents, working with Pullman
car porters, have robbed the railway
company of at least Sl5, 900. Sufficient
investigation into the steal has been
made to show a conspiracy, and thus
far three conductors and two station
agents have lost their positions. The
company is making all plans for the
criminal prosecution Of the offenders.
The steal was accomplished through
cooperation of n station agent with
passenger conductors on railroad
tickets from Springfield, H., to Chi
caCo.

that the cry OF gag rule and unfair
ness could not be raised, no matter
what the result"
Asked what his views were upon
the question of making Senator II i'll
of New York chairman, Black burn
said: Senator Hill would undoubt-
cdly max a very impartial chairma n,
but he is allied with the gold forces,
and it would be a roundabout way OF
procedure for us to turn over to the
minority of the convention its organ
ization. 1t is not to be supposed that
the majority are going to jeopardize
their own work and chances As for
Governor Altgeld, | never understood
that he was a candidate for temporary
chairman"
Then you do not believe that SEN
ator Hill will be chairman of the tenn
porary organization, even by n con
junction of gold votes and such silver
delegates as favor him."
mo. Mark this" and the Senator
become emphatic, using forcible gest.
ures to accentuate his point: this
convention is in control Of the silver
men. That is a fact beyond any ques.
ton of doubt. On every question the
standing of the majority will be to aid
their movement. Now, il the gold
men were in control, they would not
think of giving us control Of the tenn.
porary Organization. That would be
deemed foolish by them. and | don't.
believe that they will expect us to do
it. Anyway, whether they do or not,
we shall not act in that way. A sill
yer man will weld the gavel."
Whom have you heard m~entioued?"
Nobody with any dcfniteness. I
can't tell You. There are many caudi.
dates, and l nave not committed nv
self to any OF them. Jones of Arkau-
sas would be Il good man. Now, re-
ferriug to the matter of the pushing
through Of our plans in a hurry. I
rave talked with several leaders, and
we arc not at all in favor of the least
bit Of hurry. Every man in the con-
vention or every movement should
have q fair and impartial hearing.
Then we can go before the people
with clean hands and ask their ap-
prevail. l do not agree with Governor
Altgeld that there is any jeopardy in
such q course To our cause"
Senator Blackburn was naturally
rather coy about saying anything
about Presidential candidates or their
chances. as his own constituency wa
booming him this morning. II have
