-Mve,rti9°;ill th HARRIS ltltllllllllll Tennessee Senator May Preside at Democratic Convention. OTHER POLITICAL GOSSIP. Prominent Silver Men Express Them- selves as Opposed to Any Sort of Com- promise On the Financial Plank. Speaker Reed’s Intentions. CHICAGO, July 1.—lt is stated in a pa- per here today that Senator Isham G. Har- ris of Tennessee, the chairman of the Democratic bimetallic national committee, will probably be the permanent chairman of the Democratic national convention. This is a part of the programme of the silver men, which includes the removal of the national Democratic headquarters to Chicago and the election of Senator Jones of Arkansas as the chairman of the na- tional committee, to succeed William F. Harrity. The removal of the national headquar- ters to Chicago, the silver men declare, will certainly be accomplished. They say that as Illinois will be the bat- tleground it is necessary that the directors SENATOR HARRIS. of the campaign he in close touch with the men who are in the field making the fight. Senator Fred Dubois of Idaho, the per- sonal representative of Senator Henry M. Teller, has reached Chicago and has regis- tered at the Great Northern hotel. As soon as his valise had been taken to his room he hurried to the Sherman House and there met Judge McConnell. After a short conversation in the office Senator Dubois and Judge McConnell went up stairs, and Senator Teller’s campaign managers old a short conference with Senator Jones, Senator Harris, John W. Tomlinson and other silver Democrats, Altgeld and Hinrichsen Talk. At the meeting of the Illinois delegation at the Sherman House Governor Altgeld was called to the chair and for 15 minutes delivered a redhot address instructing the delegation to stand together, to act as a ,unit and to refuse all suggestions looking toward acompromise with the gold Demo- crats. Any such compromise, meant certain defeat. _ The national committee, he said, was a gold committee and had intentions of put- ting a gold Democrat in as temporary chairman. If they did this, it would be fought on the floor of the convention, but if notice were served on the committee he believed they would be scared from their purpose and would namea free silver Democrat for the place. The gold delegates, Governor Altgeld declared, were coming here with unlimited money, with offers of positions in railroad corporations, insurance companies and ev- ery manner of alluring baits, to turn the Democracy from its purpose, but it wOuld not avail. The convention would neither accept nor offer any sort of compromise to the gold element. Governor Altgeld was frequently'inter- rupted by applause. When he finished, the delegation went into executive session. If the prognostications of W. H. Hin- richsen, delegate at large and chairman of the Illinois state central committee, are correct, the 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 per- manent organizations and will nominate a free silver ticket from top to bottom and adopt a free silver 16 to 1 platform. The wishes of the gold men will not be consid- ered. The states they represent will not vote the ticket, and so they will be ignored. Last year, when the Democrats of Illinois held a convention and declared for free sil- ver, I wrote to Mr. Whitney and anumber of other gold standard Democrats asking for a conference between the gold and sil- ver men of the party. The replies were short and curt. They could not think of consulting with so insignificant a crowd as the free silver wing represented. ThingsL have changed now. We have two-thirds of the delegates. We will not confer with the gold men because we have nothing to con- fer about. The great Democratic party wants a free silver ticket and platform, and we will give these to them.” Turple Booms Matthews. Senator Turpie of Indiana is among the recent distinguished arrivals. He comes to attend the national Democratic conven- tion, to which he is a delegate. “I am here,” he said, “in the interest of Govern- or Matthews for the presidential nomina- tion, as are all our Indiana delegates. We think him the most available man and when all things are considered the most acceptable man whose name will be pre- sented to the convention. He is a man of excellent attainments and if elected presi- dent would fill the oifice acceptably to all parts of the country. We have nothing to he declared, say against other candidates, but we claim' for our man that he has always been a Democrat and that he is absolutely safe on the financial question. We believe he will command greater strength at the polls than will any other aspirant.” The senator expressed the opinion that . the convention would declare unequivocal- ly for the free coinage of silver and would submit to no compromise proposition. On the tariff be said: “Have you read our In- diana platform? We declare in it that with the free mlntage of silver our tariff will produce all the revenue necessary to support the government. We stand by this declaration. ” ’ Democratic Clubs’ Headquarters. WASHINGTON, July 1.—Lawrence Gard- , ner, secretary of the Democratic congres- sional campaign committee and also of the Gamma. ,- ,. .~l . ’ Advertise in the Gsznm. THE EVENING GA zn‘rrn National Association of Democratic Clubs, left for Chicago today, where he will es- tablish headquarters of the latter organiza- tion in the Auditorium. Ex-Govcrnor Chauncey F. Black, presi- dent Of the association of clubs, is ill and will not be present. Postmaster General Wilson, chairman of the executive com- mittee, will be detained here by his official duties, and his place will be taken as chairman pro tem. by Representative Ben- ton McMillin of Tennessee. ' The national association now has a membership of over 1,500 clubs, embracing every state and territory, numbering about 500,000 members. Many others are being formed, and it is expected that in this campaign there will be at least 6,000 clubs in the field, as there were nearly 5,000 in the last contest. On Monday, July 6, a conference will be held in Chicago between the executive committee and the chairmen of the differ~ ent state clubs. Called on McKinley. CANTON, 0., July 1.—The McKinley mail, which has been scarcely touched for three days. was again attacked today by the secretaries, who were busy Saturday and Monday with ratification and notifica- tion proceedings. Two hundred members of the Alleghany county bar came to Canton from Pitts- burg today. They decided to hold their an~ nual meeting this year at Congress lake, a few miles north of Canton, and thought it a good opportunity to pay their respects to the major. , A little later in the day a delegation from Wooster arrived. Tomorrow the ma- jor is likely to say something that will in— terest the country. He is to be waited upon by a large body of glass blowqrs. This will be the first delegation of craftsmen to call upon him as such. The Populists' Plans. ST. LOUIS, July 1.—-H. E. Taubeneck, chairman of the national executive com- mittee of the People’s Party, has returned from Chicago, where he has been in con- sultation with the leading Populists from Illinois, Indiana and Iowa. ‘ He said: “So sure as any candidate at Chicago gets the nomination by the support of the gold delegations, the People’s Party will put out a ticket in the St. Louis conven- tion that will get the solid indorsement at the polls of every friend of silver in the country, regardless of party lines, and it will sweep the country. 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 off a separate ticket at St. Louis.” Harrity 021‘ For Chicago. PHILADELPHIA, July 1. — National Democratic Chairman William F. Harrity left for Chicago on the Pennsylvania Lim- ited at noon today. He will arrive in Chi- cago tomorrow and will preside at a meet- ing of the subcommittee having charge of the arrangements for the convention. The national committee will meet in the Palm- er House at 12 o’clock on Monday next to consider the preparation of the tempo- rary roll, the distribution of tickets and the choice of a temporary chairman. Mr. Harrity is accompanied by Mrs. Harrity, his sister, Miss Maggie J. Harrity; his sis- ter-in-law, Miss Sallie A. Devlin, and Pri- vate Secretary E. B. Grimes. Indiana Gold Men. INDIANAPOLIS, July 1 —A meeting of gold standard Democrats of this city was held at the Commercial club, with 42 pres- ent, including prominent business men, bankers and professional men who are op- posed to free silver. Of the 42 present 39 agreed to go to Chi- cago, and headquarters will be opened either at the Palmer House or the Audi- torium, and all Indiana gold standard Democrats will be invited to meet there. Plans of Speaker Reed. MELROSE, Mass, July 1 —-Amos Allen of Alfred, Me, private secretary to Speaker Thomas B. Reed, says: “If Mr. Reed again enters politics, it will be to run for congress from his old district. If nominat- ed Mr. Reed would stump his own district and then his state, and, if he had any time available, his services would be at the dis- posal of the Republican national commit- tee.” * For Pennoyer and Free Silver. PORTLAND, Or., July 1.-—The Oregon Democratic delegation to the Chicago con- vention will present the name of ex-Gov- ernor Pennoyer for the presidential nomi- nation. The delegation is in favor of the free coinage of silver. New Cotton Mills In Alabama. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., July 1.—Harcourt Armory, R. T. Smelling and S. Green of Boston, representing the Nashua Manu- facturing company, owners of the large cotton mills at Nashua, N. H., today closed negotiations for the erection of cotton- mills which will be the largest ever built in the south by New England capital. They will be located at Cordova and will cost $600,000.

LONDON, July 1.—-The house of com- mons sat throughout the night debating the agricultural land rating bill, intended to lessen the taxation on agricultural land. The debate proceeded quietly until 2 o’clock this morning,the government keep- ing its forces well in hand. During the early morning hours the excitement in- creased and the different clauses were car- ried under the closure rule. The Liberal leader, Sir William Vernon Harcourt, de- nounced'the methods which the Conserva- tive leader, A. J. Balfour, was adopting in order to extricate the government from the mess' into which it has fallen through making too many election promises and overweighting itself with important hills which, like the education bill recently shelved, it has been unable to carry in spite of its overwhelming majority. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, chancellor of the exchequer, angrily retorted that the opposition was the most factions ever seen and asserted that its tactics were rapidly reducing the sessions of parliament to the level of a farce. _ James H, Dalziel, Liberal, member for the Kirkcaldy district, accused Lord Hugh Cecil, Conservative member for Green- wich and fifth son of the Marquis of Salis- bury, of deliberate and organized interfer~ ence with the debate. - The speaker, William Court Gully, was appealed to, but he declined to interfere beyond exhorting the members to be more orderly during debate. A little later Mr. Dalziel characterized Sir Michael Hicks- Beach’s speech as “impertinent,” where- upon there were yells and cries of “With- draw!” The speaker suggested that Mr. Dalziel had not intended to be oflensive in his remark, and after some more skirmish- ihg Another clause of the bill was passed under closure. This brought forth another storm of shouts from the opposition, and Dr. Tanner, Irish Nationalist member for the middle division Of Cork, was heard to shout “Gag!" For this he was warned from the chair. Mr. Chamberlain'was present at one di- vision, but did not remain throughout the night. Mr. Balfour was actively assisted by Henry Chaplin, president of the local government board. At 8 o’clock this morning the bill was finally reported to the house and tomor- row was agreed upon for its third reading. Adjournment immediately followed, NORTH OAROLINA’S LYNOHBRS. Principal “fitness Against Them Killed. Another Man XVounded. WINSTON, N. 0., July 1.—It now seems probable that one or more of the lynchers whose trial has been fixed to take place here in August will be hanged if another murder can be successfully traced to them, as now seems likely. Ni-Ivs has reached here from the out of the way mountainous county of Alleghany, the home of the lynchers in question, of a murder almost within the town limits of Sparta, the coun- ty seat. While Scott McGraw, Peter Roup and Joshua Holloway, three farmers, were returning to their fields to work, after having eaten dinner, Scott McGraw was shot dead and Peter Roup was dangerous- ly wounded by persons in ambush, who waylaid :‘iem on the public road. . The m ...i killed was the jailer of the Al- leghany .- lunty jail at the time a young white man charged with murder was taken therefrom by friends of his victim and lynched, and he was the chief witness against the latter. The particulars of this affair were given in dispatches at the time, and the arrest and indictment of several men charged with the lynching and the subsequent court proceedings. It is believed that the killing of McGraw was because of the desire of the lynchers to get rid of him and his evidence against them, and the account sent here states that the sheriff of Allegheny will proceed against the indicted men for the latter crime. The people of this whole section are aroused over the affair. Another Alleged Filibuster. BOSTON, July 1.-—The Standard says it is thought that a Cuban filibuster, the barkentine F. F. Cassen, left this port and is now safe on her voyage. For the last 48 hours great activity has been mani- fested among Spanish and Cuban resi- dents, due to the presence here of two messengers from General Gomez. The Cassen’s cargo is said to include 90 men, 2,200 rifles, four gatling guns, 1,000,000 rounds Of ammunition and a large supply of provisions. Asking Clemency For McKane. ALBANY, July 1. — Rev. David W. Couch, Rev. Mr. Paulson, Victor E. Bed— ingfield and Mr. Treadwell headed a dele- gation of citizens from New York and Brooklyn which called on Governor Mor- ton today and urged executive clemency in behalf of John Y. McKane.
