said, if the convention adheres to the
two-thirds rule, each of tin trio has an
c<]iial show to be nominated.
All throe are apostles of free silver and
on that issue no difl'eronce can be made.
The friend- of Governor Matthews
claim that if he heads the ticket he will
carry his state, and the same claim is
made in regard to ex-Governor Boies.
Both advocates of ti. so men claim Mis-

cratic coluill!
Ex-Congressman Bland's friends say
that with the assistance of the Demo-
| crats of Indiana and Iowa ho could
carry both states and was sure to carry
Missouri, which would be uncertain
ho will establish headquarters for the
latter organization in the auditorium.
Ex-Governor Chauncey F. Black,
president of the A-socialion of Demo- ;
emtio clubs is ill and will not be pres-
ent. Postmaster General Wilson, chair-
man of tho executive committee, will
be detained here by his oflicial duties,
and his place will be taken as chairman
pro teni by Representative Benton Me-
Millin of Tennesse. Headquarters will
be fully supplied with literature pertain-
ing to the national association and a cir-
cular letter has been sent to all dele-
gates elect to the convention, inviting
them to headquarters for a conference.
The national association now has a
membership of over 15(H) clubs, embrac-
ing every state and territory, number-
ing about 500,000 members, Many
others are being formed and it is ex-
pected that in this campaign, which the
officers of tho association say will be
peculiarly a campaign of the people,
there will be at least 60(H) clubs in the
field, as there were nearly ." 000 in the
last contest,
O11 Monday, July 0, a conference will
be held in Chiougo between the execu-
tive committoe and chairman of the
state associations, 20 in number. At
this conference plans will be arranged
for the convention of the clubs to be
held at St. Louis on Sept. HO, citizens of
St. Louis having assumed all expenses
of attending tho convention, and it is
confidently expected by tin* association
that it will be one of the largest gather-
ings ever held in this country.

of the Democrat l<> Convention.
Chicauo, July 1.—The Record says
Senator Isluun G. Harris of Tonne- ee,
the chairman of tho Democratic bime-
tallic national committee, will probably
be the permanent chairman of the Dem-
ocratic national convention. This is a
part of the programme of the silver men
which includes tho removal of the na-
tional Democratic headquarters to (*lii-
eago and tho election of Senator Jones
of Arkansas as the chairman of the na-
tional committee to succeed William F.
Ilarrity. Tho removal of t he headquar-
ters to Chicago, the silver men declare,
will certainly bo accomplished. They
say that as Illinois will be the battle-
ground, it is necessary that these direc-
tors of tho campaign be in close touch
with the men who are in the field mak-
ing the light.

Bland has something like 200 instructed
votes.
Senator Teller's friends are not idle.
They are working upon leading Demo-
crats, hoping through them to get a
foothold on the convention in his be-
half. In i gardtotho Coloradoan the
leaders have not much to say, but it is
certain that a majarity of the delegates
so far as heard from favor the nomina-
tion of an old time Democrat to head the
ticket.

Their Fir f. Meeting llclil at < liii-ag
With Senator Harris Presiding.
Chicago, July 1.—The conference of
themembers of thobimetulliccommitti
was called to order at the Sherman
House a few minutes past 12 o'clock
yesterday by Senator Harris of Tennes-
see, who is chairman of the organiza-
tion. There was a quorum present and
a large number of distinguished silver
Democrats including Senators Harris
and Bate of Tennessee, Jones of Arkan-
sas, Turpie of Indiana, Daniel of Yir-
giuia, Cockroll of Missouri, ex-Senator
Martin of Kansas, Governor Stone of
Missouri, Congressman M.-Millin and
Richardson of Tennessee, ex Congress-
man Bryan of Nebraska and Snodgrass
of Tennessee. The first meeting was
devoted largely to introductions and ex-
change of views as to the outlook for
tin- approaching convention. The opin-
ion was generally expressed tliat there
would be no question as to the absolute
control of tho convention by the silver
forces, to which was generally added a
determination to sen that nothing hap-
pened to in any way weaken the con-
trol. There was more or less individual
dixmadon of Mr. Whitney's attitude I lnl1 '''''"If"
among the delegates, and it was noted
that there was no expression on the part
of any one favorable to yielding any-
thing to the gold standard element. The
opinion <>f the gathering on this - n
was well summed up in a characteristic
remark by Senator Hiuris.
for with the executive committoe of the
national Democratic committee, con-
sisting of Senator Jones of Arkansas,
Governor W. J. Stone of Missouri, Sen-
ator David Turpio of Indiana. Governor
J. P. All geld of Illinois and Senator
Daniel of Virginia.
The terms of the resolution under
which this committee was appointed]
authorizes the committee "to confer
with the executive committee of the lia- j
tional committee in reference to all I
questions affecting and relating to the |
temporary organization and proceedings
of tho national convention.
The resolution was discussed at some
length, but the meeting was secret and
the tenor of tho remarks made was not
made known except in the most general
way The committee adjourned until
today.
WILL IGNORE GOLDMEN.
The Declaration of Secretary of Slate
llliiricliKen of llllnolfi.
CiucAiio,July 1.—Governor Altgold,
and Secretary of State Hinrichsen, are
among tho notables who put ill an ap-
pearance here. If t he prognostications of
Mr. Hinrichsen, delogate-at-largo and
chairman of the Illinois state central
committee are correct, gold standard
delegates to the national Democratic
convention will be given no quarter.
"The silver men are going to run the
convention," said Mr Hinrichsen.
"They will control both the temporary
and the permanent organizations and
will nominute free silver from top to
bottom, and adopt a free silver platform
of 10 to 1. The wishes of the gold men
will not be considered. The states they
represent will not vote the ticket, and
so they will be ignored.
"Last year when the Democrats of Il-
linois held their convention and de-
clared for free silver I wrote to Mr.
Whitney and a number of other gold
standard Democrats asking for a confer-
ence between the gold and silver men
«-f the party Replies were short and
curt. They could not think of consult-
ing with so insignificant a crowd as the
free silver wing represented. Thing
have changed now. We have two-thirds
of the delegates. Wo will not confer
with gold men because we have nothing
to coir' -r about. The great Democratic j
party wan: a free silver ticket and
platform and we will give it to them."
MUST BE BLAND OR TELLER.
The Only Way to Head Off a Presiden-
tial Nomination by Popullita.
Si Loci-. July 1.—H. E. Tau-
beiieek, chairman of the national execu-
tive committee of the People's party,
has returned from Chicago, where ho
has bee ti in consultation with tho load-
ing Populists from Illinois, Indiana and
Iowa. He said:
"So sure as any candidate at < 'hleago
gets tho nomination by the support of
the gold delegations the People's party
will put out a ticket at the St. Louis
convention that will get the solid in-
dorsement at the poles of every friend
of silver in the country, regardless of
party lines, and it will sweep the coun-
try In the light of the last few days, I
think Bland's or Teller's nomination at
Chicago is the only thing that can head
olT a separate ticket at St. Louis."
TfcLLtR INTERVIEWED.
Say* Any flood Silverlte Would Suit
the Itocky Mountain States.
Omaha, July I. -In an interview
Senator Teller was asked :
"Do you think that the Chicago con-
vention will declare for free silver?"
"There can be no doubt of that," re-
plied the senator.
"Would you accept tho nomination
for president from that convention ?' ^
■I should prefer not to answer that
question. No man can accept or decline
that which has never been tendered
him."
"Do you think the nomination of
Boies or Bland would bo acceptable to
the free silver Republicans of the Rocky
Mountain states?•'
"Ye>. I think our people would sup-
port- either of these gentlemen or any
other man of good character and ability
who is rt cognized by those favorable to
the free coinage of silver."
"Would such a nomination carry the
mountain states that usually have gone
Republican?"
"That I cannot answer. Any of those
men would poll an enormous vote, but
whether they would carry one or more
