Leader* Refuted lo Bat Whither e Gold
Candidate Will be FlnceJ In Nomination
or Not—Talk of Planing Morrlton In
Nomination to Bold tht Anti-Silver
Force* Together—Gold Hon Conducting
a Campaign of Ritncatlon.
Chicago, July 4—Tht leading
question of the doy seems to be "will
the gold standard men bolt If a sliver
platform is adopted.”
Ex-Governor Roswell P. Flower said
this morniDg: "I am frank to say If
an out and out silver platform is adopt
td the gold standard men as repres-
enting true Demooraoy shonld leave
the convention. I believe (hat with
defeat or susoess a silver ticket, the
leaders and the movement Itself will be
oonslgned by the people (o oblivion
before the year has passed."
"Will the gold adherents nominate a
candidate to hold their forces to-
gether?”
"Frankly I don’t think so. My own
belief is we will be In the oonventlon
when the roll is called for nomina
tions.”
HUI said: "We have several days
yet aod things may ohange materially
so I cannot Bay what our action will be.
If a silver platform Is adopted I don’t
eee how we oonld make a pretense of
plaolog a candidate upon It.”
John R. Fellows said: "Weoughtto
leave the oonventlon If the silver
policy prevails.”
The proposed gold meeting at 11
o’olook tamed oat to be an Informal
oonferenoe. The real work of con
saltation was done In the private roome
of Hill, Whitney and Uarrity.
HUI had Whitney In bis room in the
morning with Gov. Flower end several
Illinois and Indiana men. Whitney
after talking with HUI strode Into the
Illinois headquarters and said: "We
are now conducting oar osmpalgn of
education It will last until the oon-
ventlon meets.”
How It will end nobody knows, bat
we will move qalokly after the oon
ventlon gets In session.
"Will we bolt? Well I oan’t discuss
that now.”
Ex Governor Pattlson will be plaoed
in nomination by Pennsylvania and
William E. Rassell may receive the
endorsement of the Massachusetts del-
egation. It has been suggested that
William 0. Whitney should receive the
votes of the gold Demoorats, bat It Is
doubtful If he would oare to be voted
for In a oonventlon which adopted a
silver platform. There Is some talk of
plaotng William R. Morrison In no-
mination for the purpose of holding
the anti-silver men together.
CLEVELAND AND TAMMANY.
oonntry. He would retnrn home to-
morrow.”
The governor was asked if fie felt the
financial question was stirring serious
seotlonal differences.
"Any fears I may have had in that
regard,” he proceeded, "have been
entirely dispelled within a fe w weeks.
The sliver sentiment east is growing
beyond anythlog we had reason to ex-
pect a short time ago.”
“Do yon regard the tariff question
an important Issna?”
"People want the money question
settled first,” he replied. “I oannot
bring myself to believe the tariff ques-
tion oan be made to out an Important
figure Id the campaign.”
A GENERAL REVIEW.
The President Hopes They will Protest
AgalDit Free Coinage.
New York, July 4—At the Tammany
celebration of Independence day the
following letter from President Oieve
land was reed:
"The situation that confronts the
oonntry and the Democratic party at
this time invests with nnnBual lmpres
slveness this oimmemoratlon of our
beginning as a nation. When, as ap-
propriate to the occasion, our stupend-
ous advancement Is recalled the fact
should not be overlooked that our
progress has not been by ohenoe, but
is the result of a wise observance of the
monetary laws that oontrol a nation’s
health and vigor; and while we con-
template with pride the commanding
plaoa we occupy emong the nations of
the earth we should not forget this has
been gained only through the preserve
tlon of oar financial soundness and a
careful maintenance of oar unsae-
peoted public credit.
"If there Is anything in the present
condition that Impeaches experience
and Indicates ws oan safely ohange our
present high flnanolal standard for the
free, unlimited and Independent ooln-
age of allver this should be made
plainly apparent before suoh a radloal
departure fills a place In oar party
oreed. The tremendous consequences
of a mistake In dealing with the fiaan
olal question now pressed npon us as
Demoorats should constantly make ns
thoughtful and solloltlous. 1 am con-
fidant therefore the voice of the Tam-
many soolety, always potent in party
ooonotl, will not fail to be heard In
warning and protestation on this cooa-
eton, whioh especially inspires patriot-
ism at a time when the felicitations
appropriate to Iodependenoe day are
mingled with apprehension.

•‘The String Wae Weak.’’
Chicago, July 4—The picture of
President Cleveland that surmounted
the ploture of Senators Hill aod Mur-
phy In New York’s headquarters was
missing this morning. In Its pleos
hung a ploture of ex Gov, Flower.
Inquires called forth the explanation
"the etrlog was weak” and they were
afraid It wonld fall.
Hcreoe Boles, of Iowa, arrived thts
morning At the Palmer Home he
reoelved a long line of oallers. He
talked freely on the sttnation, bat he
did not with to dleoaes personal pros
peots or be pat in an embarrassing
position In urging hte own availability.
He said be oame here to get aoqnalnted
with friends from various parte of the
The Sliver Hen Gaining Hare Strength
Than the Gold Farce?,
Chicago, July 4—Whether there
shall be a general silver oauoue Is un-
determined. The matter probably will
not be settled before Monday. A ma-
jority of the delegates now In the city
are apparently favorable to the caucus
Idea.
The net result of the arrival of the
gold oontlrgsnt today, straDge to say,
Is an acquisition of strength to the sil-
ver, not the gold forces. The former
claim now six votes In Minnesota, six
in Florida, four In Maryland and even
some promised In the far east. From
Massachusetts comes the news that
six of the delegates are for silver, head
ed by George Ftgd Williams, who four
years ago wept in the house of repre-
sentatives because a stiver man was
eleoted speaker. Other votes are
claimed In tb# Maine and Delaware
delegations aifd it is said there will be
sliver votes from New York and Penn-
sylvania where the delegations are not
looked up by the unit rule.
Ex Congressman John E. Russell of
Massachusetts, a gold man, takes a
gloomy view of the situation from his
standpoint. "The American people,”
said he, "are determined to try free
coinage. The fever Is In their blood
and they will have It. We who believe
In the maintenance ot the gold stan-
dard might as well take to our oyolone
cellars, for they oannot be thwarted.”
Ae a graceful way of showing their
appreotatlon of Williams’ srand for
silver in the old bay state, It Is possible
that the silver leaders mey deolds to
make him temporary ohalrman in
place of Bryan of Nebraska, abont
whose stleotlon there la a hltoh owing
to bis seat being contested.
The arrival of Boles, and the an-
nouncement that thirty of the Illinois
delegates would support him, sent the
stock of the Iowan up to-day. Boles
men olaim considerable acquisitions to
their strength in nolnstruoted delega
tions, end beoanse these delegatee are
not Inetrnoted they refrain from looa-
tlng them.
The Bland boom la growing more
aotlve and aggreslve each day and to-
day they pushed the figures up sev-
eral notches, claiming 188 delegates
already pledged. There was a story
afloat tonight that Gov. Altgeld, who
returned to the olty today and wh
was ambitious to be the Warwick of the
oouvantlon, had thrown the weight of
his lnfluenoe to the Missouri farmer.
If this proveB true it will give Bland a
strong and skillful, if perhaps a rash
general, to oommand his force. Alt
geld has been an unoertaln element In
the oontests so far.
The action of Gov. Matthews’ sup-
porters deolarlng against a canons has
had the effect of lnoreastng the feeling
In favor of suoh proceeding. The Idea
Is being Industriously Inouloated that
those who oppose a caucus are oou
templattDg the possibility of a union
with the gold men.
Hill lot Temporary OheitmaD.
Chicago, July 4—It is settled the
national committee will name (Senator
Hill for temporary ohalrman. It is also
oertalu the silver men will not aooept
Hill and will probably vote In a tem-
porary ohalrman of their own.
Senator Money of Mississippi said
sliver men would not aooept him, al-
though personally they liked him very
well. Ue says Senator Hill Is one of
the ablest men the gold men oould
name and the silver men are afraid he
would manipulate the oonventlon to
their disadvantage.
It Is knowa Hill will aooept the offer
of the national committee and allow
the oonventlon to vote him down. Ben
T. Cable, a member of the oommlttee
from Illinois, raised the point that the
oonventlon has no right to say who
shall bs temporary ohalrman, as it is a
matter wholly within the discretion of
the national oommlttee and the oon-
ventlon is under oontrol of theoommlt
tee until a permanent organization Is
effeoted.

Denouncing Federal Inlerferenoa.
Chicago, July 4—Gov. Altgeld oame
to Chloago this morning and opened
headquarters in the Sherman House.
He said: "I think a plank will be In
serted lu the platform denouncing
federal Interferenoe In local affairs
either by Injunction or by United
States courts and that Is a principle of
the Democratic party. It Is a founda-
tion stone that must not be dislodged.”
Regarding his oboloe for president the
governor would not go any farther
than say ha would favor any pronouno
ed free silver candidate the pqgf^^ay
nominate.

Padcoah, Ky., Jnly 4 —Henry W.
Houston, one of the leading free sliver
Republicans of the state, has gone to
Chloago, and has pledged himself to

Chicago, July 1—Editor Holden of

at large from Ohio, says he will effer a
resolution endorsing Senator Teller for

Rockville, Md., July 4.—Sidney
Randolph, the negro oharged with the
murder of little Sadie Button and a
brutal assault with Intent to murder
the girl’s father, mother and elder
sister, was iynohed this morning.
About 2:30 Charles H M. Peyton,
the jailor, was aroused by loud rap
ping. When he Inquired who was
there, he was told to open the door to
reoelve a prisoner. He did so and
found confronting him twenty or thirty
masked men.
He slammed the door In their faoes
and looked It, only to have It broken
down a few minutes later. The crowd
rushed In and demanded that he un-
look the oell doors. Meeting with re
fnsal, they leveled revolvers at Pey-
ton’s head and dlreoted him to hand
over the keys, whioh be did promptly.
The mob proceeded at onoe to Ran-
dolph’s oell. Prisoners In adjoining
cells say he protested hts innooenoe
and begged for life.
The mob gagged him, dragged him to
a vehicle and drove out of town. A
hangman’s knot was tied aronnd the
negro’s neok, and soon afterward kis
lifeless body was hanging to a oonvsnl
ant tree.
Ou the morning of May 25 all Mary-

wife and two daughters with an ax,
while they were asleep Though
terribly Injured, all rsoovered save the

Denver, Jaly 4—Ex-Governor Waite
made adramatlo exit from the Populist
state convention today, aooompanted
by 83 delegates. The ex governor
represented the minority faotlon from
Arapahoe county, wbioh were not al-
lowed seats la the oonventlon, and he
took oooa.lon to denouooe the gather-
ing as illegal, stating he would curry

The oommlttee on resolutions, of
which T. M. Patterson wae ohalrman,
presented a platform whioh deolared,
the party adhered to Its "time honor
ed” prlnolples heretofore declared,
nor abates not a partlole of loyalty to
the grand organization whioh has put
them forth. The leading planks were
as follows:
‘The Populist* of Oalorado learn
with pleasure that the great principle
ot free oolnage of silver at the ratio of
16 to 1, deolared first by the People’s
party, has beoome the one distinct and

"Resolved, that the mission of the

"Resolved, we, as Populists and

The Different Manager* Claim Their Can-
al Hat# I* In tbs Load.
Chicago, Jaly 4—Early today the
hotel lobbies wereohoked with boister-
ous, but good natured throngs, cheer-
lug alternately for Blend, Botes,
Matthsws and other favorites.
Whitney’s rooms at the Auditorium
was the oenter of conticued confer-
ences. Interest centered In the devel-
opment of the line of aotion of the gold
men. While It was oonoeded the stiver
foroes had a majority, possibly a two
thirds vote, yet the moral effeot was in
part dissipated by having the vote
divided among Bland, Boles, Matthews,
Teller and others, while the gold ranks
were In a oompaot body.
At the Bland headquarters there was
an air of serenity and oonfldenoe. The
managers roportod they were making
steady aooeeslons. They were partloa
larly pleased at the prospective arrival
of Bland himself.
At the Indiana headquarters Senator
Turple deolared Governor Matthews’
strength was advanolog steadily.
Blaokburn and McLean were oentral
figures at their respective headquar-
ters, the personality of the men lend-
ing added Interest to the candidates.
Senators Dabols and Pettigrew and
Mantle labored tt-distrlously In behalf
of Teller, presenting an argument
based on figares to show Teller’s nomi-
nation Insured sufficient electoral votes
to eleot him, while Teller on au Inde-
pendent tloket would oarry many sil-
ver states not in the Damooratlo ool-
utnn.
Senator HUI, ex-Saoratary Whitney
and ex Governor Flower oame in for
marked attention. Hill has not been a
familiar oonventlon figure and there
was a general desire to see him.
At the Sherman House Senator Jones
ot Arkansas, the recognized marshal of
the silver ranks, oonferred with the
leaders of various seotlooeand mapped
out the polloy whioh was fast maturing.
Ue expressed oonfldenoe of a positive
oonviotlon In the success of his foroes,
confirmed by reports to the silver oau-
ous last night. The committee named
at the caucus—one from eaoh silver
delegation—was making a oanvass on
whioh an exaot count of the silver
strength will be based.
Lnrgret Number of Failure*.
New York, Jaly 4—Bradstreets says:
General trade, In both oommerolal and
industrial lines, Is duller, but the
falling off, In part, Is the usual mid-
summer dullness.
Comparatively few ohanges are noted,
bat most of them are decreases In
either prloe or demand.
Business failures In the United States
for the six months number 7,602, the
largest six mouths total slnoe the
records have been compiled.
Total liabilities are $105,535,000.
This has been exoeeded only twice In
like periods In the panlo years of 1884
and 1803. Inorease In the total of lia-
bilities over the first half of 1805 is 31
per oent and over 1804 it Is 26 per cent.
The total number of business failures
In the Dominion of Canada for six
months Is 1,184 for 1806,'oompared with
034 In 1805.
Determined lo Vote for Silver.
Chicago, July 4—There are abont a
half dozen In the New York delegation
giving Hill, Whitney and Flower no
little trouble on ecoonntof their pre
deltotlons In favor of silver. They are
headed by C, L. Lockwood, Thirty-
seoond Congressional district, who
openly denes the leaders, saying he
will vote for a silver candidate and a
silver platform if he gets the oppor-
tunity. He Is bound by the nnlt rule,
but declares he will ask to have the
delegation polled when the vote is
taken. _
No OoH Convert*.
Chicago, July 4—Anti-silver men
have been at work all day. Delega-
tions now In the olty have been visited
by men from the east and earnest
arguments made by those who hope to
stem the silver tide. Their snooese
has not been marked. No converts
have been made and silver men met
