LONESOME GOLD BUGS.
Ramsey, Of South Dakota, Walls u
Tale OfWOe.

Ramsey, Of South Dakota, Walls u
Tale OfWOe.
Chicago, July IS. A. Ramsey, the
leader of the gold standard delegation
from South Dakota, arrived here this
morning. Mr.. Ramsey said to United
Press reporter:
"A sound money resolution was
adopted by our convention of which
was the temporary and permanent
chairman. The silver faction took
part in the proceedings, and after the
resolution went through, went out in a
corner and pretended to elect con-
testing delegation to Chicago. ] don't
think they have any valid claim for
recognition by the national committee
or the committee on credentials. The
regular delegates are not instructed on
the financial question, or as to the
presidential candidate, but they will
vote for a sound money plank, and IL
the silver men win, as 7 suppose they
will, then l and the other delegates,
think, will vote for the best silver man
who Is put up. We will know when
and where to jump, but we don't want
any Republican or ex-Republican sill
YER man. We will have nothing to do
with any bolting scheme"
The Bland men are counting on the
eight votes Of South Dakota.
Senator David 4. Hill will not be ac-
ceptable to the silver forces as tempor-
ary chairman Of the national conven-
tion. This is what Senator Jones, of
Arkansas. the recognized spokesman of
the white metal conferees, told a rep
resentative of the United Press today,
and his word IL as much law among
these conferees as is that of Governor
Altgeld to the Illinois delegation.
The members of the national commit
tee were busy at the Palmer house to-
day attending to convention arrange
ments. and an informal conference was
held regarding the situation. which the
silver men created yesterday. The
matter Of the distribution Of the tick
cts among the state delegations and
newspaper men also engrossed the at
tention Of the committeeman. Chair
man Harrty did not appear in the COM
mittee rooms until late, having been
engaged in conferences with local and
visiting gold politicians elsewhere.

Bouffe, that he had succeeded in curing
seven cases of leprosy. He had been
struck with the results obtained by the
aid of graduated organic injections in

The doctor sought to modify the con-
dition Of the nervous system by
strengthening without exciting 1t, and
soon he noted the correctness Of his

CALM BEFORE THE
CHICAGO STORM
concluded from Page IL

two B's-Bland and Boies-but the
Iowa people frown down any sugges-
tion that their candidate would accept
second place. Vice-President Steven
son and Governor Matthews. Of Indi-
ana, We're also talked of considerably
for the second place on the ticket in
the event of the nomination for the
presidency going to Mr.. Bland and late
in the day Ex-Governor Campbell, of
Ohio. was talked of in the same con-
nec:ior.
Not single name Of any person
haiiing east of the Alleghenies was
brought up. however, and, as one of the
silver people put 1t. the general opin-
ion seemed to be that if there was an
eastern man of national reputation who
is favorable to silver he must have
taken to the woods before allowing his
convictions to go on record.
MATTHEW'S REINFORCED.
The friends of Governor Matthews. of
Indiana, and his aspirants We're rein
forced today by the arrival of Will Eng
lish, son Of the late Hon.W. Fl. English,
who was a candidate for vice president
on the Hancock ticket in 1880. AL
though not q free silverite Mr.. English
is warm friend Of the Indiana execu-
tive and was elected as delegate at
the latter's request. His wealth and
influence. it is said. will be freely used
in Governor Matthews behalf. The
local sound money Democrats began to
bestir themselves today and arrange
ments were made for q conference of
all the gold standard delegates that
may be on the ground tomorrow night.
1t will be held at the Auditorium hotel.
SO far the silver people have held
the right of way and there has been
considerable criticism over the failure
of the Illinois sound money committee
to do anything toward counteracting
the efforts of the opposition. For Sat-
urday night there has been arranged a
mass meeting in the Auditorium proper
and Senators Hill, Of New York; Gray,
OF Delaware: Villas of Wisconsin: Pal
mer, Of Illinois; and William G.
whitney, of New York; Ex-Governor
Russell, of Massachusetts,: Peck. OF
Wisconsin: Flower, Of New York;
