ILLINOIS SWINGS SOLID INTO LINE
FOR THE SILVER CHAMPION.
ON THE EVE OF BATTLE.
Incoming IM«Kh(m Declare That "Thlf
!• a Democratic Convention and We
Want m Democratic CnndldMt*"
—Tlie Teller < ouihine fit ill
Actively nt Work for the
Colorado llolter.
Chicago, July 7. On the very eve of
the Democratic national convention,
the entantflefl situation exhibits no
chance in condition or candidacies.
Bland leads with a strength that
grows as the country delegates re-
sentfully come in and declarc that
"This is a Democratic convention and
we want a Democratic candidate.''
Illinois and Texas were atnonir the
States which formally declared for
him to-day. There is really no other
candidate of his own political house-
hold whose position is comparable to
his. 1 he entire field of Democratic
•spirants have not united as much
strength as he has singly. Considered
teparately the Feveial minor candi-
dacics present such appearance of
weakness as to make the boom of Mc-
Lean even appear even respectable.
Tellers shadow is the greatest in-
strument of daogeroua menace to
Hland. The senatorial cabal has not
abandoned endeavor. It is not the
Teller purpose to have his name pre-
sented ar the names of other candi-
dates will be, with formal oratory
and loud declaration. but ratuer to so
deadlock the convention that his nom
ination shall appear to offer the one
safe avenue to victory.
The old fashioned Democratic del-
egates. however, say unoompromis-
ingly "If these Republi<an> and I'op-
ulists are really in favor of free silver
they'll vote for Hland. And if they
don't vote tor Hland it is a sign that
they are not sincere in their support
of free silver." That is the answer
that they d> ;(redly make, and they
adhere to it in action.
Governor I'attison is the only pold
standard candidate who will be pre-
sented to the convention, and those
(fold standard delegates who vote at
all, some of them being opposed to
taking even so much of a nart in the
Domination of the candidate, are ex-
pected to vote for linn, unless it
should be deemed advisable to use
part of the jr« ld standard vote as a
make-weight between the silver can-
didate*.
To-day it is said that the tlan of
the (fold men is not to walk out nt the
convention, but to remain until the
clone. Then, when the silver men
have captured everything ami ad-
journed, a conference will be held and
arrangements made for a conven* on
some weeks later of anti-siiver l>eino*
crats for the purpose of putt'.i^ in
nomination a man whom the^ can
support. Of course if the silver men
fo to the extreme of turn*.if? out the
If old delegate* in Michi( ..n and cap-
' iurintf that Stale, a bolt may l e imme-
diately precinitated, but the conven-
tion to be he'd to select a (fold candi-
date is not likely to be hastened by
an actual IhiII of the convention
The conte-tintf delegation from
Texas representing the gold contin-
gent in that stale decided by a full
vote this inot ning not to apply for ad*
mission to the convention but issued
an anti free silver address.

(jUTIIRIF., Ok., July 7, —Fourteen
prisoners overpowered the ffuards iu
the United States jail at last
night and broke jail. Hill Doolin and
Dyuainite Dick, the last survivors of
the Dalton gam.', who were wanted
for the murders committed in the In-
galls tight, at which four deputy mar-
shals were killed, were the principal
actors.
Fourteen of the fifty-nine prisoners
escaped. TI y were the most desper-
ate characters. They are: Hill Doo-
lin, Dynamite Dick, Charles Mont-
gomery, Jim Black, Walt .McClain,
Hill Crittenden. Kd Lawrence, George
Lane, Kid Phillips, Henry Irwin, Hill
Jones, (i. O Nix, Lee Williams and
William Heck.
They got the guardse two revolvers
and a winchester by a rush out of the
cages when the gate was opened.
They knocked one of them down and
placed the other two iu tlie steel
cages. They came out at the point of
their revolve s. Having the guards
safe, the ringleaders called for every-
one of the prisoners to escape if they
wanted to Only fourteen followed.
William He-'c, one of the escaped
prisoners, r turned and said iliat
Doolin was so weak that he sat by the
side of the road outside of the city,
wondering how he would escape.
Later the ou laws made a man named
Sehotteld and his girl get out uf a
buggy and give it to them.
A posse of deputy marsb.ils, headed
by Hill Tilghman. who captured
Doolin, went iu pursuit of the escaped
prisoners.
POWERS TO BANKERS.
Threat* of the Capitalist* l'oo-l*oohetl liy
the Utah Judge
Cmcioo, July 7.—Judge Powers of
Utah is am ng the delegates who
have received letters from a firm of
bankers iu this city iu regard to the
effect that a free silver declaration
would have upon the business inter-
ests of the country. In this letter it
is 6tated that $481,001 have been in-
vested through the firm in Utah. Re-
ferring to the circular, Judge Powers
said: "If this company and the cli-
ents of that concern do not care to
play in our buck yard they need not If
tuey do not want to inv t in Utah
some one else will T *ir clients
will receive whatever is due them, for
Utah will piy dollar f r dollar as
nominated the boi «. If these
bankers think they can i itimidate us
and prevent us from carrying out the
will of our constituents by covert
threats, then I say to them that tve
were not brought up in t e mountains
to be scared by owls. If they intend
to help create a financial panic in
order to drive people to support the
gold standard. I have only to say to
them that in pulling out tin* pillars
of the financial temple tliev will bring
the editice down up<m their own heads
as well as ours, and we can stand it an
well as they. I think the banker4 had
better let us run politics our own way
and devote their attention to business.
Perhaps there would be fewer fail-
ures. "
Jealousy Cost lllm lit* life
Foht Si ott, Ivan , July — Alexan-
der Cochran, an old and respected cit-
izen. shot and instantly killed J II.
Van Horn, a Missouri Pacific brake*
man, on the former's farm, twelve
miles south of this place, yesterday
afternoon. The killing was the re-
sult of jealousy on the part of Van
Horn, and it is probable that it jury
will decide that it was justifiable hom-
icide. Cochran gave himself up and
was released 11 n ler a |l,n io bond.

CHAIRMANSHIP FIGHT,
SENATOR DANIEL THE SIL7ER
CHOICE AND HILL THE GOLD.
NO COMPROMISE LIKELY.
IVhen the New VorJc Senator Is Presented
by Chairman llarrlty as Temporary
I'retlfllng Ottlrcr Ihe Silver Men
Will \ote lllm l>own and
Elecl the Virginian as
Chairman
CmrAno, July *.—The gold men
propose to inaugurate the fight the
moment the gavel is dropped by Chair-
man ilarrity. They arc resolved upon
offering a gold man to the convention
for temporary chairman, despite the
protests of the silver leaders, and Sen-
ator Hill is the man upon whom
their choice has fallen. The silver
leaders have the utmost respect for
Hill, but they and their followers are
determined that a silver man shall
assume the gavel, and that the first
SEN.V )R DANIEL. VIRGINIA.
utti #ice in the convention shall be
unequivocally for silver. "We can
neither afford to be deceived with
faint praise." said Senator-elect
Money, of Mississippi, "nor actually
condemned We must have the ma-
chinery from the start."
Mr. Hill was urged by some of his
silver friends not to consent to the
use of his name, but it was said that
he was resolved to make the tight,
and was preparing a gold speech to
be delivered either from the platform,
if ho can succeed in holding it, or
from the floor if the silverites take
things in their own hands
The members of the Democratic
national committee who are silver
men held a meeting last night to
agiec on a randidate for temporary
chairman of the convention, and de-
cided to recommend Senator John W.
Daniel of Virginia Senator White of
California hail been previously se-
lected by them, but he, when a dele-
gation called on him to confer about
the matter, said that on account of
other engagements it would lie out of
the question for him to serve.
Senator Daniel's name may be pre*
sented to the full committee for tem*
notary chairman by the ailvermem-
t ers. If the gold committeemen, who
are in the majority, insist upon pre-
senting the name of Senator Hill, or
some other gold man, to the conven*
tion. the silver contingent will nomin*
ate Daniel It is possible that Daniel's
nstuc will lie brought before the con-
vention by a minority report from the
national committee.

BLAND LEADERS CAUCUS
Mlitee Mstes ami Territories Arr
ltepreit«iite(l.
CirirAOo, July 7.—The Hland forces
executed u coup yesterday by conven-
ing a caucus at the Sherman house ai
2:30 o'clock, attended by reprcseti'ii
tives of thoi.e trans-Mississippi stales
favorable to Hland. The notice of the
caucus had not been widely circulated,
so that the large attendance of prom-
inent Western leaders was a source of
unexpected gratification to the Hland
managers. Sixteen states were rep
resented, having an aggregate of
votes in the convention, and, from the
assurances given, it was believed that
most if not all of these Western states
could be relied on for Hland.
The states represented, with their
respective votes, were as follows: Ar-
kansas, I ti; Colorado, S; Idaho, <*>; Illi-
nois, 48; Kansas, -0; Missouri, .14: Mou-
tana, d; Oregou, h; Texas, 30; Utah, C;
Washington, Wyoming, < ; Arizona,
«; New Mexico, ♦'>; Indian Territory, ('•;
Oklahoma. Alaska, ♦' These slates
comprise all west of tlie Missouri
river except California and the two
Dakotas.
The meeting was organized by the
selection of ex-Senator Martin of
Kansas as chairman, and L. T. Dashiel
of Texas as secretary. In tauing the
chair Senator Martin made a vigorous
spcech in support of the Hland candi-
dacy.
tine of the strongest speeches was
made by "Huek" Iiinrich>ci5, of the
Illinois delegation, who is regarded as
next to Uovernor Altgeld in influence
on that delegation, lie snoke .strong-
ly in favor of Hland, and expressed
the opinion that the forty-eight votes
of Illinois would be given to the Mis-
souri candidate.
The caucus resumed business at the
Palmer house last night. Experts at
figures made estimates showing that
Mr. Hland would have .150 votes on
the first billot, and 500, or 100 short
of tnro-th>rdson the second ballot. It
is estimated that the man who gets
the majority of the silver votes will
be given all that strength.
TELLER BOOM COLLAPSES.
Delegates Rebel Aciimt tlio Clan to
Nouiiuste lllm
Chicago, Julv 7.—The feature of
yesterday was the seeming utter col-
lapse of the Teller boom. The talk of
the existence of the senatorial catmi
plotting to secure Teller's nomination
has aroused among many of the in-
com'-g delegates a feeling of the
most bi'tcr and passionate resentment
and the cry is heard everywhere that
the nominee must be a Democrat. It
is consi I-red almost treason to sug-
gest T ller. This strong revolt
against what is deemed an attempt at
senatorial dictat on seems to have
checkmated the cabal.
As the free silver Republican and
Populist leaders realize that the game
is slipping away from them, they are
inclined to grow uglv in their despera-
tion. The former have begun to pre-
dict defeat if a Democrat is nominated
on the ground that no matter how
disposed they might be to support a
Democrat on a free silver platform
their friends in the Western states
would not follow them, bag ami bag-
gage. into the Democratic party. The
Populists could with difficulty be re-
strained from issuing an address say-
ing they could not support a Demo-
crat.

Chicago, July 7.—Men from the
(own headquarters visited the Kansas
headquarters this forenoon and in
their /.eal for ISoies made a mistake of
trying to tight Hland on the ground
that his wife anil daughter being
Catholics, the A P. A. would oppose
liiin. This aroused the animosity of
David Overmyer and J. 1). McClevarty,
but the lowans persisted in their ar-
gument. saying that they had been
watching Western politics, especially
Missouri since the advent of the A. I'.
into public life, and they were confi-
dent that the organization could
swing enough votes to defeat any man
who should be nominated for Presi-
dent in opposition to their withes.
This argument has be'en brought to
bear upon the Kansas delegates from
other sources, also, but the Kausas
men are apparently determined to
stand by Hland. Martin said to-day:
"There is nothing in that talk.
Hland's booin is growing right along.
We feel safe, and I believe Hland will
be nominated. The tight has nar-
rowed down to Hland, Hoies and
Teller. Matthews of Indiana is not
in it."
M "Werty said: "I don't think the
Democratic party is liable to be moved
by this A. P. A. talk. The organi/.a-
tion is undemocratic and we will take
no notice of It."
David Overmyer paid: "Oh. there i>
nothing in it. Illanil will have 1100
votes on the first ballot and gain
steadily afterward."
The Kausas delegation mat this
morning to effect a permanent organ-
ization and outline the policy it shall
pursue in the convention. The meet-
ing was behind closed doors and no-
body was admitted but delegates and
alternates. Frank itacon presided
and Judge Met levertv kept the min-
utes. Nothwithatanding an injunc-
tion of secrecy adopted by the meet-
ing, a full report of the proce dings
leaked out in fragments with). Half
au hour after it was over.
To the surprise of the llland men a
proposition was made by J. II. Atwood,
.1. (i. Johnson and J. Mack l.ove that
that the delegation should compli-
ment liryan of Nebratka by giving
Min its solid vote for president on the
first ballot. This brought Judge
Martin, Judge McCleverty and .Mr.
Overmyer to their feet. ' They pro-
tested against such an order.declaring
that it was of the greatest importance
that liland should make as great •
showing as possible on the first ballot
and the Kansas delegation should not
fritter way its strength by passing
empty compliments to liryan or any
other favorite son.
The end of the discussion was a
unanimous vote for llland, and so the
delegation will vote on the first bal-
lot.
The Hlani. question settled, the cau-
cus proceeded to take up the proposl.
tion to abrogate the two-thirds rule,
which also caused considerable dis-
cussion. The delegates all admitted
that the rule ivas inev itable, but
some of the 111 thought that It was not
expedient for the convention to abro-
gate it at this time, and It waa
ordered that the Kulisas delegation
should so vole in the convention.
John Overmyer of the Indiana dele,
gallon, a brother of llavld Overmyer
of Kansas, waa permitted to address
the caucus in behalf of Matthews nt
Indiana as the second choice of the
Kansas, lie was given a respectful
hearing, but no expression as tn such
a choice was made by the caucus

The Pnilms.lar General Writes Nla Views
In Kegard tn Currency Agitation
Nkw Yohk, July 7.—The World tbla
morning publishes a copyright signed
statement written by Postmaat*r U*a-
eral W. L. Wilson. Among other
things Mr. Wilson aaya: "This no
men tons issue seems a boat to bed*,
cided under onditions little favorahl*
to calm discussion, Thia, I believe, ia
ground for al .rm. It was truly said
by the late Mr. Lamar that flnanelal
legislation dealt with the two most
delicate and sensitive parts of the
apparatus of civil society—the cur-
rency of a country and the all per-
vading relation of debtor and creditor.
This being true, there is nothing 1a
the relations of human society that
ought to be touched so cautiously,
nothing that rash experiment may
affect more disastrously.
"If the questions so essentially non-
political as the standard of value aad
the quality and quantity of eurreney
are ever to be submitted to popular
vot_, such submission can be aafely
made only after full and honeat dis-
cussion at a time when the people are
ready to listen with open minda and
with a sole desire to determine what
Is right. It is perilous in the extreme
to force such questions into the ar*aa
of partisan politics in timea of v*n*ral
depression, when men are too oftea a
ready prey to any fallacy or delusion
that is held out to them as an immedi-
ate relief for their distreaaea. Our
uniform experience haa been thnt in
every era of 'hard times' many voters
are the victims of financial delusion*
and concessions to these delualonaor
compromises with them are directly
responsible for our disordered mone-
tary system.
"It is now proposed to commit tb*
party to free coinage of silver at an
nrbitrary ratio, so that the govern-
ment shall stamp as 'a dollar' on*
hundred cents worth of gold bullioa
or fifty ccnts worth of silver bullion
for any one who may present the on*
ur the other at its mints. Thia n*r*r
lias been n Democratic doctrine and
cannot be harmonized with principle*
or the practice of the party."
Mr. Wilson explains the historieal
position of the !>emocratic party, aad
says: "It is clear that the attempt to
commit the party to the advocaev of
free silver at a ratio totally regardlaea
of market values as a supreme itaue ia
to set up a new test of party fealty,
and one diametrically opposed to all
past pirty declarations or action, aad
the warning has already been given
by leaders whoee words cannot ba
lightly weighed that such aetloa
must inevitably result in mora or 1***
party disruption."
