STRONG BOLT TALK
INDUCED In by the New York Dele-
CATION.


INDUCED In by the New York Dele-
CATION.
CHICAGO, July 9.-Hurried meetings.
OF all the gold state delegations were
calied as soon as the convention, ad-
Journed this afternoon, and the New
YORK contingent went to a nearby club
mouse and began work immediately.
They were not iE an amiable mood at
all, and the talk Of boiling the conven-
tlon entirely was very loud. Congress-
man Charles Tracey said he would not
go back, as did also Gen. Frederick
Bartlett. Ex-Gov. Flower called the
meeting to order and Senator Hill took
the floor. He said very little but it
was very pointed. He believed the
platform violated the established pri1r-
ciples of Democracy. To support a.
candidate on such platform would
mean virtual agreement with it. Hel
did not believe that it was policy to att
present go so far as to give it an in
dorsement.
His remarks were received with ap-
plause. He was followed by John r.
Fellows, who was very bitter in his re-
marks. There is not one iota of De-
mocracy in such platform he de-
clared. 1T is tissue Of Populistio
and anarchistic notions compiled by
men who have no claim to recognition
as statesmen or even politicians, but
who are frenzied fanatics. I canr.ot
see how | can support such platform
or any person placed upon it."
William c. Whitney said he had Wis
tied several delegations of gold states
and had found their temper such that
they would follow New Yorks lead
He was personally not averse to leav-s
ing the convention, but he would not
like to have it said that New York led
such revolt. He was in favor Of re-
naming in the convention but not TAX.
ing any part in the election of a candi-
date and urged with Senator Hill the
appointment of committee to arrange
with the other gold states plan of ac-
| ton. The
TEMPER OF THE MEETING
was shown when Congressman SuIzer
arose to speak. He advocated that the
delegation, as good Democrats, should
stay in the convention and take part
in its proceedings. He believed that
the majority rule had always been
looked up to in the party and it should
not now be disregarded At this juno
ture somebody said: do you mean
that we should vote for the silver
PLATFORM"
Yes said Sulzer, "and work for II /"
Shame, shame" were the cries and
the speaker was cried down. Judge
Clute, Of Albany, an alternate for Eras-
tus Corbig, showed decided silver pro-
clivities. and he also was shown No
sympathy.
Senator Thomas F. Grady was most
violent In his denunciation of what he
described as the outrage perpetrated
on the convention and on Democrats
by the silver men. He said that he
was very much in favor of repudiatine
Democracy, did he not know that this
was not true Democracy, but fanati-
cism.
Delaney Nicoll, Of New York. ended
a brief but bitter talk with these
words: II am Democrat, but I can
not support such a platform. and
VIII not vote for a candidate named
upon it."
Gov. Flower made the warmest
speech Of the evening, and Hill and
Whitney had all they could do to pre-
at once. He said the platform was "a.
crazy quilt of Anarchy" and the out
come 'of incompetent and brainless
fools fanaticism." He denounced men
Of Altgeld's and Tillman's stamp as
'mischief-breeders and schemers to
ruin the Democracy" and closed by
saying: L will never cast my vote
for such ticket or its representative.
II i
not Democratic" Gov Flower then
read a telegraphic extract from the
Brooklyn Eagle Oemocra) Of tonight,
advocating bolt. Part Of it reads as
follows, and was received with shouts
of applause:
We have no fear that the sound money
Democracy will acquiesce in free silver
platform, a ticket of Reputation and Of
anarchy and the trampling out OF the rights
OF sound money delegates in the convention
bolt is inevitable. Democratic ticket for
which Democrats can vote is becoming a
necessity. 1t will be supplied. The an
archists, the Populists. the Communists and
the Nlhilists who are controlling this con-
vention, will never control this country:
they will never control the Democratic
party.
Senator Hill interposed and offered
this resolution: THAT q committee of
six be appointed to visit other state
delegations instructed for gold and
urge upon them the necessity for re-
framing from action, and that this
committee act both in the convention
and hereafter for the New York dele
cation" 1t was adopted, and the chair
appointed Senator Hill, William c.
Whitney, James w Hinckley, Roswell
P. Flower, Frederick Coudert ard will
liam F. Sheehan The meeting was
then adjourned. 1t being the sense Of
the members that New York's vote was
not to be cast for a presidential or
other candidate.
