Chicago, July 21.-No friction de-
veloped at the meeting of the demo-
cratic national committee yesterday
and the men who made belligerent as
sertions Wednesday night failed TO
make them good. Not a single war
like note was sounded and no defiances
were uttered, neither by the men who
demanded that 10 to /" shall be the
rallying cry in the next campaign, or
by those who oppose its adoption.
The only move looking toward
recognition of the silver men by the
national committee was during the
afternoon, when the Ohio Valley BIZ
metallic league was admitted to the
committee room and James P. Tar
vim, of Kentucky, acting as spokesman,
read the resolutions adopted by the
committed at their meeting early in
the day at the Palmer house.
These resolutions demanded that
planks be inserted in the next demo-
cratic national platform opposing
trusts, opposing imperialism and
adhering to the silver ratio of i6 to 1.
"And along these lines we offer you
our aid," said Mr.. Tarvin. There was
n defiant accent upon the word these"
that seemed to imply that the support
of the bimetallists could be secured
along no other lines than those
marked out, but of this the committee
took no notice. The Bimetallic league
was courteously thanked for its prof
fer of assistance and assured that 1t
would be called upon at such times
as the national committee felt in need
Of its assistance. That was the be-
ginning and end of the silver episode.
The fight against p. j. Devlin, editor
OF the press bureau of the national
committee. was brought TO finish,
the Harrison faction of Illinois secur-
ing his deposition for the part taken
by him as an officer of the national |
committee in the last mayoralty cleo |
ton in Chicago. Beyond making sew
eral changes in the rules governing |
the committee nothing else was done
during the day.
The committee appointed at the st. |
Louis conference in May, composed of |
Committeeman Woodson, Troup and |
Daniel reported that they had inves-
tipated the charges made against Mr.. |
Deylin by the Harrison faction. accus-
ing him of dragging the influence of
The national committee into a purely
local contest for partisan purposes,
and found them sustained. They
recommended that the control of the |
press bureau be transferred to a COM
mittee and il was ordered that for the
which investigated Mr.. Deylin should
have charge of the press bureau work.
Mr.. Deylin appeared before the ma
tional committee and admitted that
hc had used tbe influence Of the ma.
tional committee in the Harrison-Alt-
Geld contest but said that he had re.
ceived instructions to do so from n
source which he considered as heinz
couivolent IN an order from tbe ma.
.tional committee. Who gave him
these instructions he declined IN saw.
