STRENGTH OF SILVER MEN
Six Hundred and Seven Delegates
to the Convention Pledged
for White Metal.

CHICAGO, ILL, June Ex-senator
Jones, in giving out an estimate of the
strength of the silver delegates OF the con-
vention this evening, said he had made 3
| list of COZ who are pledged to vote for the
white metal.
He claimed, in addition to these, about
thirty or forty others, who are in favor OF
silver, but who, owing to instructions from
State conventions, are unable to work
direct with the silver men.
The National Democratic Committee
| will meet Monday to select the temporary
officers of the convention.
| Among the names suggested for the
! temporary chairmanship are those of
Senator Hill of New York, Senator Villas of
| Wisconsin, Sen ator Gray of Delaware and
| Hugh C. Wallace of Washington. Sena-
tor Jones said he thought the silver men
would accept the recommendation that
| Hill be made temporary chairman OF the
convention.
81 believe Senator Hill is fair man"
| Mr.. Jones said, ''and would have abso-
| Lutte confidence in his ability, justice and
| impartiality as a presiding officer If he
| is selected think there will be no attemp
| by the convention to take this appoint
| ment out of the hands of the National
Committee
The name of Ex-Governor Pennoyer OF
Oregon is to be presented to the National
Democratic Convention as the choice of
the Western State for the Presidential
nomination. John Mullinix and John
R. Welch, both of Portland, arrived
| in the city to-day to take part in
the meeting of the Bimetallic League and
during the afternoon they devoted their
time to sounding the praises of their can
didate. DR.. Mullinix said in case they
are unsuccessful in securing the nomina-
ton of Mr.. Pennoyer they will cheerfully
support any free-silver candidate the con-
| vention may name.

Administration Men Display a
PartisaDship That Goes

CLEVELAND SECRETLY KNITTING
STEVENSON.
Struggles of Leaders Will Only Result
in a Rout and a Victory for
Mckinley.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, June 29.-The prog
ress Of disintegratiOn in the Demo-
cratic party continues. Ex Secretary
Whitney Will be here on Thursday, co
prepare the way for the formation of a
solid square by the gold men. While
he has not abandoned hope, he virtu-
ally comedies that the nomination of a
silver candidate on a silver platform
will mean the disruption and rout of
OF William Mckinley.
Members of President CIeyeIand's ad-
ministration are displaying a partisan
ship which does not seem to be Of
fensive to Mr.. Cleveland. National
Comptroller Eckels is here in the IN
terest OF sound money. 1t is believed
that Cleveland, through his friends, is
secretly knitting the aspirations of Vice.
President Stevenson.
Bland and BOies are the only candi-
dates in the field worthy of mention.
Bland is the logical candidate of the
silver men, and his strength is increas-
ing hourly.
Prominent Democratic sound-money
newspapers all over the country are
saying that never has the Democratic
party been confronted with so grave a
crisis since the party went to pieces on
the slavery question in 1860.
Hugh Wallace of Tacoma denies that
there is any plan on foot TO buy the
conversion of silver delegates.

McK|NLEY'S WARM WELCOME

to say the least, strange sound to those
who heed the universal cry of distress oc-
casioned as they believe by doubling the
purch asing power of money and cutting
in twain the market price of the products
of labor. If to undo what law has done to
add to the burdens of the toiling millions
OF this Nation and double the fortunes OF
the rich within it is to disrupt the Demo-
cratic party, disruption must come. The
majority of the party threatens no wrong
to any one, and if those VINO compose that
majority can avoid it all may be assured
they will submit to no wrong, such as the
permanent establishment of a single gold
standard would impose upon the great
mass of the people of this Nation.

No Pledged Delegate Will Dare

EVILS OF THE GOLD STANDARD.
''Let Disruption Come" Says the Iowa
Statesman, "if Unjust Law Must
Be Undone."

WATERLOO, Iowa, June 29.-Ex-Gov-
ernor Boies returned this afternoon from
his Grundy County farm, where he went
mmediately on his return from Illinois.
When asked if he intended going to Chi
cago soon he replied that he had not de-
termined whether he would attend the
convention or not.
Sat any rate" he said, ST do not know
of any reason which should call me to Chi
cago this week."
He further stated that he had made no
arrangements for going to Chicago at any
time during the convention. As to what
were his plans for the campaign he did
not care to say anything.
This evening Mr.. Boies met Judge Van
Wagenen, who was on his way to Chicago,
and accompanied him to Manchester.
Judge Van Wagenen is Mr.. Boies' alter
nate as delegate at large, and is also in
charge of the Boies bureau in Chicago.
Neither party would talk when questioned
in regard to the situation, but Mr.. Boies
said that the object of their meeting was
to talk matters over as to what was best to
be done at Chicago.
During Governor Boies' absence in
Grundy County the interview with Will
liam G. Whitney was published, and on
his return his attention was called to a
telegram from the New York Herald ask
ing his opinion in regard to the assertions
made in it. He wired his reply tonight
as follows:
Mr.. Whitney is entirely right in his
conclusion that there is no disposition on
the part of those who will represent the
silver sentiment of the South and West in
the Chicago convention to further discuss
the matter at issne with men whose views
are diametricaliY oppos to their own on
the currency question. lie is entirely cor
rect in his conclusion that it is now too
late to accomplish any. practical results by
a discussion of that character. Through
out the South and West that discussion
has been extended, and the views ex-
pressed by Mr.. Whitney have been put
forward by many men who entertained
them and they have been fully consid-
cred and weighed, and after all of this
