GAG FOR GOLD MEN.
silver Men Will Give Them No
Chance to Air Their ViUvs.

CHICAGO, July 5.-The Eastern gold
men made every preparation this after
noon and evening to keep up the war
even if they find themselves in a hope
less minority. There has not been a
break in the silver strength and the
leaders of that movement are fixed as
adamant in the determination to run
the convention. At the same time
there seems to be a sympathetic feel
ing for Senator Hill, and several of the
silver leaders visited him this after
noon and requested him not to allow
his name to be used for temporary
chairman. Senator Jones, of Nevada,
was particularly anxious about the
matter. He said:
Senator Hill, we have no personal
objection to you, but our forces will
rot be content with anything but a
silver man in the chair. We don't
want to have to turn you down and we
hope you will not accept the designa-
tion.'
But ex-Gov. Russell, William c.
Whitney and other leaders were strong
i'll their judgment that there should be
fight on this issue and that Mr.. Hill
should stand. So far convinced were
the Fasteners of this that it was said
in the early evening that Hill would
stand and that he had begun preparing
an address that would be delivered
from the floor, If not from the platform
and this last statement developed ar
interesting phase that may mean 8
lively row in the convention.

enormous floor surface and excellent
side and sky-light. It is so immense
that only about half of it will be occu-
pied by the convention but that half
will have seating capacity of $4,000.

trains and ten cent fare, the train time
being from Is to 25 minutes according

signed as a permanent structure. In
ternal1y 1t has to be transformed for
the convention at cost Of $4,000 and
is apparently much superior to the St.
Louis building, the acoustic properties
being guaranteed as excellent. There
is a marked absence of posts to support
the roof and as that important part of
the building has already once caved in,
if a similar result should happen when
the convention is in session this week,
the financial problem may be sum-
marily disposed of.
If the sound money meeting Of last
night had any influence it certainly
was not apparent about the hotels
The silver men are just as resolute and
determined to exercise their power as
before and the gold men simply have
the alternative Of submission or bolt
ing. If they quietly submit many will
unquestionably vote for Mckinley, and
the only way they can make bolt eff
fective will be to put up another ticket
The gold men are divided in their coun-
sci as to what course is best. but are
determined to do something to prevent
success for free silver at the polls. AS

''The gold men shall not speak, was
the cry of the rank and file Of the silver
men with the exception Of Jones,
Blackburn and Mclean. These latter
said that the convention should be fair
in it's treatment so far as the gold
standard men are concerned, should
mean that Russell, Fellows, Hill and
Gray should be allowed to talk.
There was a good deal of discussion
today over the matter Of the absence
of Senator Hill from the gold meeting
last night and the questions as to his
absence from both the gold conference
In the morning and the meeting last
night and his refusal to say anything
at the conference on Friday night were
put squarely to him tonight He said:
The gold meeting last night was held
by local people and I was not expected
to speak I have refrained from TAX
ing part in any conversation on the
financial issue because do not believe
that there Is any use reiterating my
views. All have read the New York
platform. On that issue I stand
squarely. I have nothing to say as
to the probable decision on the tempo
rary chairmanship. I will consider the
matter If the national committee ten
ders 1t to me. No, I cannot see that
the situation is changed. We are not
any stronger than we were, but we are
doing good missionary work"
Some little discussion was caused this
afternoon by reason Of the fact that the
gold men had called another meeting
for tonight at the Auditorium 1t was
said that it was to settle the question
Of supporting Mr.. Hill for chairman.
Senator Hills attention was called to
the statement that there was a silver
delegate from New York state. He said:
THE statement is absolutely untrue.
There is not silver delegate in our
party. The man who made the state
ment Is an impostor"

was asked this afternoon to give his
views on the situation He said.
There Is no material change. You
can say that the two-thirds rule will
not be abrogated by the convention
and that the unit rule will also stand ),

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, July ST always enjoy
spending the Sabbath in the city
where a national convention is about
to assemble. 1t demonstrates so clear
ly what great work still remains for
the churches, that it makes me feel
greater hberality In contributing to the
| missionary cause. Besides, have no.
ticed that where there are the most
churches there are the most Democrats
and consequently anything that tends
to show the importance Of more
churches is a direct aid in building up
and developing the Democratic party.
Hence I have especially enjoyed this
day III Chicago and it's valuable object
lesson.
The crowd has been rapidly increas-
have arrived with their brass bands
to add silvery notes to the occasion.
Among incomers there were about 1000
Bland boomers from Missouri and sew
eral hundred more are due in the morn
ing. The out-of-doors weather has been
decidedly comfortable, but the Palmer
corridor has been packed all day so
densely that if you stood in the bal
cony and tossed a copper down upon
the heads of the crowd there would not
be space for it to drop to the floor.
This mass of humanity has argued,
shouted and persp1red until porters had
to go about with huge mops to sop up
the accumulated perspiration on the
tiled flooring in order to keep the ex-
cited throng from taking cold by get
ting their feet wet over their shoe tops
Probaly not a single person changed
his views as the result of all this ar
gumentative effort but it pleases the
embryo statesmen on the outside to
think they are saving the country, ard
as the fine workers are doing the ac-
tual work elsewhere 1t is
HARMLESS DELUSION.
AS I was strolling along State street
this afternoon I was attracted by a
fellow loudly shouting and jesticulat-

which read: "Anti-Gambling Crusade,

so many people in Chicago who ride

part, at least, and soon discovered that
that branch of the show gave an op-
portunity to listen to the harangue of
the ticket seller, who seductively in
vited you to penetrate further into the
mysteries of the affair. I recalled that
Quinn recently had rather an ignoble
career in Minneapolis and was run out

who invoked the aid Of the police to
relieve them from the presence of the
man who was pretending to give the

WRITERS OF MORBID BOOKS.


Do They Realize What an Opportunity for
Good They Miss?
Iwonder, asks Gentlewoman writer,
is it the authors or the public who are
to blame for the immense amount of
morbid literature that floods the mar
ket.
The supply is generally Influenced by
the demand, it Is true, but authors for
get the tremendous opportunity that is
theirs Of swaying the public taste for
wholesome novels
If they recognized more truthfully
their power, and instead of pandering
to a style which, though it may please
the vulgar, cannot but make the judi
cious grieve, held the mirror up to ma
ture in her purest, not her lowest,
sense, there is no doubt that they
would swiftly revolutionize the present
ephemeral craving for what one writer
has termed 'highly seasoned litera-
ture."
Let us have fiction that while it in
terests does not disgust, and lay aside
the hideous notion that realism must of
force go hand in hand with evil, and an
abuse of all the old faiths we have
hitherto cherished and held dear.
It is the miserable fashion to write as
If truth, and honor, and purity and be-
lief were nonexistent. It is a lie.
These qualities do exist; our men are
as loyal and true and faithful as they
always have been, and our women are
not one whit less pure now that they
are treated as at least the equalof man,
ant not with the semi-barbaric eastern
idea that they are inferior animals.

"Of course; and I find them so civil
at the Bon Marche. I get my gloves
there and lots of things
so do 1; but do you know I've found
dressmaker in London who has won
derfully good taste, and it costs next
to nothing to have gowns from her?
The materials are so much chea per than

shillings for the making"
"You don't say so! Give me her ad-

side. Good-by"
