SOME THREATS or BOLTING.
The ltIore Radical Gold Men Inclined to
Walk Out of the Convention—Altgeld
Said to Be 'In Favor of Bland.
Teller Has Not Withdrawn.
CHICAGO, July 6.—Except in one par-
ticular, a most important one, confusion
and chaos reign in the political storm cen-
ter today.
As the convention tumbles on like,a
stream, frothing and swirling with its
Whirlpools and eddies, to its destiny there
is but one sure goal. It is rushing with
a force and impetuosity that nothing can
check or turn aside to a free silver declara-
tion. That is certain. For the rest, all is
almost inextricable confusion. The gold
men trained their guns on the enemy to-
day, but .they had as well been shotted
with paper wads. The discharges made
considerable noise, but their efiect was as
harmless and almost as hopeless as firing
toy pistols at an armorclad battleship.
Ex Secretary Whitney, who entered Chi-
cago four years ago with haughty step to
crush the opposition to Cleveland. assumed
the leadership of the gold forces. Although
the laurcls of his old victory still clung to
him, he is no conquering hero now. He
leads a forlorn hope. Nevertheless he set
his lieutenants to work to do missionary
work among the delegates. The hotel cor-
ridors were filled with their agents, labor-
ing toconvince the silver men that pro-
nouncement for silver was a fatal blunder
that could only consign the party to de-
feat, perhaps oblivion.
Threats of Bolting.
But Mr. Whitney, who came here with
the declaration that the silver men must
listen to reason when they ascertained the
strong feeling of the east on the subject,
found himself confronted everywhere with
the argument that he and the gold men of
the east were the heretics. Argument
having failed, some‘of the gold men tried
threats. Ex-Governor Flower of New
York and Colonel John R. Fellows openly
announced that they should not support a
free silver candidate and even intimated
that the gold men should bolt, but Senator
Hill, ex-Govcrnor Russell of Massachu-
setts, Chairman Harrity, Ben Cable of
Illinois, Bynum of Indiana and others
frowned upon such threats at this stage of
the proceedings, and while talk of bolting
is naturally rife today from present indi-
cations, there will bo no physical with-
drawal from the convention. Some of the
most radical . gold men, however, are
strongly inclined to give up the game and
walk out, but they are being restrained.
Whitney and the leaders grew very mys-
terious later in the day and whispered
“Wait” to their down hearted followers.
What they can hope to accomplish later no
one knows. Those who feel disposed to
bolt and who are becoming convinced that
there is no hope of preventing a free silver
platform intimate that they would wel-
come the nomination of Teller. The nomi-
nation of a silver Republican would give
to them the coveted excuse of supporting
as between two Republicans one who up-
held the financial policy upon which they
believe the commercial prosperity of the
country depends.
Some of the silver men were exceedingly
angry at the talk of ruin and disaster
which emanated from the New York head-
quarters, and Senator Blackburn recalled
the irony of fate which made those head-
quarters today, as they were four years
ago, the source of predictions of defeat.
Then Hill, Fellows and Cocknan, who is
now absent, made the welkin ring with
their protests against the nomination of a
man “who swept the country from ocean
to ocean.” Today, he said, history was
repeating itself, and these same man were
attempting to undermine the issue and de-
stroy the only chance the Democracy has
of success this year.
.5. Gold Men Gloomy.
The net result of the arrival of the gold
contingent today, strange to say, is an
acquisition of strength to the silver, not
the gold, forces. The former now claim
six votes in Minnesota, six in Florida,
four in Maryland and even some promised,
in words, in the east. From Massachu-
setts comes the news that six of the dele-
gates are for silver, headed by George Fred
Williams, who four years ago wept in the
house of representatives because Crisp, a
silver man, was elected speaker. Other
votes are claimed in the Maine and Dela-
ware delegations, and it is said there would
be silver votes from New York and Penn-
sylvania, where the delegations are not
locked up by the unit rule.
Ex-Congressman Tlohn E. Russell of
Massachusetts, who is a gold man, takes,
as do other gold leaders, a gloomy view of
the situation from his standpoint. “The
American people,” said he, “are deter-
mined to try free coinage. The fever is
in their blood, and they will have it. We
who believe in the maintenance of the
gold standard might as well take to our
cyclone cellars, for they cannot be thwart-
ed..”
As a graceful way of showing their ap-
preciation of Williams’ stand for free sil-
ver in the old Bay State it is possible that
the silver leaders may decide to make him
temporary chairman of the convention in
place of Bryan of Nebraska, about whose
selection there is a hitch, owing to the fact
that his seat is contested. This of course
presupposes a choice of the national com-
mittee unacceptable to silver hosts.
Altgeld For Bland.
The arrival of Boles and the announce-
ment that 30 of the Illinois delegates would
sgpport him/sent the stock of the Iowa
0 ndidate up today. The Boles men claim
considerable acquisitions of strength in
the uninstructed delegations, and because
these delegates are not instructed they re-
frain from locating them.
The Bland boomers grow more active
and aggressive each day, and today they
pushed their figures up several notches,
claiming 188 delegates already pledged.
There is a story afloat today to the eflect
that Governor Altgcld, who has returned
to the city, and who is ambitions to be the
Warwick of the convention, has thrown
the weight of his influence to the Missouri
farmer. If this proves true, it will give
Bland a strong, skillful general to 'com-
mand his forces. Altgeld, it was thought,
was favorable to Teller, and should he
come out for Bland it would greatly
weaken the Teller movement.
There is some talk of the gold men try-
ing to find an acceptable compromise can-
didate like Stevenson,'but the suggestion
is not received with favor.
There is still much discussion among
the delegates as to the time that will ~ be
consumed by the convention. There isa
vention will go so far as to nominate a
Republican, so I can’t speculate on that
issue.” ,
Senator Hill was told of Governor Flow-
er’s views, but declined to subscribe to
that portion concerning the bolt. He said:
“We have some time yet, and things
may change materially, so that I cannot
, say what our action will be.. No, .I don’t
think we will have a candidate. Indeed,
if a silver platform is adopted I don’t see
how we could make a pretense of placing
a candidate upon it.”
John R. Fellows said: “We ought to
leave the convention if the silver policy
prevails. That is all I have to say.”
Whitney Won't Say.
Mr. William C. Whitney said: “We are
now conducting our campaign of educa-
tion, and it will last until the convention
meets. How it will end nobody knows,
but we will move very quickly after the
convention gets in session. Will we bolt?
Well, I can’t discuss that now. Will we
have a candidate? I can’t tell.”
Fix-Lieutenant Governor Shoeban, New
York’s ' national committeeman, said:
“To talk of bolting before the convention
decides anything is foolish. We will act
after the platform is adopted.”
On the other hand, it has been determ-
ined by some of the antisilver men to
have candidates placed in nomination for
whom they can vote. The gold standard
men think they have about 330 votes in
the convention, and they wish to have
them held away from any silver candidate
until some definite arrangement can be
made for making the force effective. Ex—
Governor Pattison will be placed in nomi-
nation by Pennsylvania, and there is some
talk that William E. Russell will receive
the indorsement of the Massachusetts dele-
gation.
It has also been suggested that some
candidate should be named who will re-
ceive all the antisilver votes after compli-
mentary votes have been cast. There has
been some suggestion that William C.
Whitney should be the man whom the
gold Democrats should unite on, but it is
doubtful if he would care to be voted for
in a. convention which adopted a silver
platform. There is also some talk of plac-
ing William R. Morrison in nomination
for the purpose of holding the antisilvor
vote together, but the question of bolting
has not been definitely decided as yet.
Pennsylvania Solid For Gold.
There has been talk that there is a di-
vision in the Pennsylvania delegation
upon the currency question. There is ap-
parently no truth in the story. At the
Pennsylvania headuarters at the Palmer
House B. E. Wright, one of the delegates
at large from Pennsylvania and chairman
of the Democratic state central committee,
was seen, and he said: “The platform of
the Pennsylvania state convention, adoptr
ed without a dissenting voice on the 29th
of April, was unquestionably the most ad—
vanced statement on the sound money
question set forth by any state convention
of either party. It represented the prac-
tically unanimous sentiment of the Demo-
cratic party of the state, and the 64 votes
of Pennsylvania in the national conven-
tion will undoubtedly be cast in favor of
sound money and for the strongest declara—
tion in that direction that could be made.
“The Pennsylvania position as declared
in the action of her state convention is
emphatically and strongly against the free
coinage of silver, in favor of the retire-
ment of the greenbacks and the divorce-
ment of the government from the business
.of banking and in favor of a paper our-
rency, absolutely secure against all possi-
bility of loss to the holder, redeemable at
all times in gold and ample in volume for
all the requirements of business.
“These propositions will be as firmly
and unanimously expressed by the votes
of her delegates in the national convention
as they wore in the state convention.
“Apart from questions of principle and
considering only matters of expediency,
we believe that the Democracy of New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut, with-
out whose votes no Democratic president
has ever been elected, afford a surer prom-
ise of Democratic success than can be had
in the Republican states of the west that
hav>e never been found in the Democratic
column.
“If this convention proposes to worship
strange gods, it must be without the ap-
proval of the half million of Democratic
voters in Pennsylvania.”
Morton May Bolt the Ticket.
CHICAGO, July ‘6.—J. Sterling Morton,
who has arrived in Chicago, spoke as fol-
lows cn the political outlook:
“It is a serious question just what the
gold Democrats will do when they are con-
fronted with the choice of either McKin-
ley or a free silver Democrat. I am a
Democrat because I do not believe in pay-
ing a prohibitive protective tax on every-
thing I buy. That, I take it, is the funda-
mental principle of Democracy. ' Yet if I
vote for a free silver Democrat I cast a
ballot in favor of the protection of silver.
If I vote for McKinley, I cast a ballot in
behalf of protection for everything but sil-
ver. Besides, I am not so sure that in
voting for McKinley I would not casta
vote for the protection of everything and
silver. McKinley’s record ShOWS him to
be like Wat Hardin, Kentucky’s guberna-
torial candidate, a free silver man stand-
ing on a gold platform.”
“Which will you do, Secretary Morton—
vote for McKinley or a free silver Demo
crat?”
The silence could be heard distinctly.
Finally Mr. Morton replied: “I don’t
know. It will require a heap of think-
ing.
“What do I think of the nomination of
Teller? Well, if the Democrats want to
repeat the Greeley fiasco of 1872, I think
they would stand an excellent chance by
nominating Teller. That would surely be
a fine choice' to offer Democrats—McKin-
ley, one Republican, or Teller, another
Republican. Yes, I think it could be
safely predicted a case of Greeley, Teller
and repeat. ”
Teller Is a Candidate.
DENVER, July 6.—-“There is not a word
of truth in it,” said Senator Henry M.
Teller when asked regarding the report at
Chicago that he had written Governor Alt-
geld that he would not permit his name to
go before the Democratic convention.
“I have not changed my attitude from
what it was _at St. Louis in the least,”
continued the senator. ”There, at the
earnest solicitation of many gentlemen—
silver Republicans, who have left the party
like myself, and Democrats and Populists
—-I consented that my name might be
used in connection with the presidency at
Chicago.
no claims upon the Democratic party be-
yond that I did not consider my nomina—
tion by its convention as possible. Never-
theless if, as my more than partial friends
thought the Democratic delegates might
believe that my candidacy , would more
likely bring to the ticket the necessary
electoral votes, than would that of one of
the life members of the party, I would
leave the matter, in their hands and trust
wholly to their discretion and patriotism.”
.a---
I told them frankly that I had.
general desire to have the time abbreviat- .
ed as much as possible, but there is no
longer much talk, as there was a few days
since, of being able to reduce the time to
one day. On the contrary, the belief is
now quite general that the convention will
be in session at least three or four days.
The Temporary Chairmanship.
It is settled as far as anything can be
that the national committee will name',
Senator Hill for temporary chairman. It
Is also as certain that the silver men will
not accept,Mr. Hill and will probably vote
in a temporary chairman of their own.
Senator Money of Mississippi said that the
silver men would not accept Hill, al-
though personally they liked him very
Well. He says that Senator Hill is one of
the ablcst men the gold men could name,
and the silver men are afraid that he would
manipulate the convention to their disad-
vantage. It .is known that Mr. Hill will
accept the offer of the national committee
and allow the convention to vote him
down if they do not want him. .
Ben T. Cable, member of the commit-
tee from Illinois, has raised the point that
the convention has no right to decide who
shall be temporary chairman, as it is a
matter wholly within the direction of the
national committee, and that the conven-
tion is under control of the committee un-
til the permanent organization is effected;
that the committee is the organ of the
party until the convention is through with
preliminaries and becomes * permanent
body. He says that the reso ution of the
silver men to accept the'man put forward
by the committee will be revolutionary
and contrary to precedent. Mr. Cable is
in favor of the committee naming a tem-
porary chairman of its choice, and the con-
vention can do as it pleases about accept-
ing him.
Bryan May Be Barred.
The movement among the silver forces
to agree upon ex Congressman Bryan of
Nebraska for temporary chairman has re-
ceived somewhat of a backset on account
of the fact that Mr. Bryan’s seat in the
convention is contested. It has been sug~
gested that the national committee may
declare that the gold delegation from Ne-
braska is entitled to the seats from that
state, and in that event the silver people
would be in a somewhat embarrassing pre-
dicament if they have counted upon Mr.
Bryan and had no one else preparing to
make the opening speech, upon which'
great store is set.
The silver leaders are making an inves-
tigation of the chances in the contest. If
satisfied that Mr. Bryan will not be dis-
turbed in his seat, he will be chosen by the
silver men, but if there should appear to
be any doubt of his being seated they will
probably take some one else.
Ex-Senator Martin of Kansas has sug-
gested that in case of the necessity for a
change thehonor should be conferred upon
Hon. George Fred Williams of Massachu-
setts, and the suggestion has been received
with no small degree of favor. The silver
men feel that Mr. Williams’ espousal of
the free silver cause in New England has
been of vast assistance to them, and they
would like to find a graceful way of show-
ing their appreciation.
The friends of the Hon. C. S. Thomas
of Denver are also pressing his claims per-
sistently and continue to meet with en-
couragement. The names of Senators
Blackburn and Daniel were also sprung
during the day, and Mr. Blackburn’s
name came into especial prominence. Sen-
ator Daniel declined to allow his name to
be considered in the convention, saying
that he was more concerned ' to have Sen-
ator Harris made permanent chairman
than to have himself given the temporary
office.
The permanent chairmanship is conced-
ed to Senator Harris on all hands.
The General Silver Caucus.
Whether there shall be a general silver
caucus is as yet undetermined. The mat-
ter will depend largely upon the responses
which may be received to the following
note, which has been sent out by the steer-
ing committee of five: -
We would be pleased to know if your
delegation agrees with us in the conviction
that the best interests of the cause we all
have at heart will be advanced by having
the platform and nomination practically
determined by the silver men of the con-
vention. Please let us know at the earli-
est practicable moment if your delegation
agrees in this view.
This is the first open and official avowal
that the silverites have made that they
mean to agree upon a candidate and a
platform if possible before entering the
convention, though it has been surmised
from the beginning that such was their
plans. It is the intention if the answers
are favorable, as it is believed they will be,
to next take steps to ascertain how the
delegations stand, both on the platform
and the nomination. This will be accom-
plished if possible by a canvass of the dele-
gations separately by the representatives
of the general 'silver committee. If it is
found that this plan will not work satis-
factorily, a caucus will be hold.
A majority of the delegates now in the
city are apparently favorable to the cau-
cus idea, but the most of the recognized
leaders are disposed to stave it off as long
as possible. They seem to prefer that if a
caucus is held at all that it should be post-
poned until after at least one or two bal-
lots shall have been taken. Many dele-
gates are tied up by instructions and would
not feel free to act as they might feel to be
desirable until after they had had an op-
portunity to discharge their obligations to
their constituents by voting for the can-
didates covered by their instructions.
The action of'Govcrnor Matthews’ sup-
porters in declaring against a caucus has
had the effect of increasing the feeling in
favor of such a gathering. The idea is
being Industriously inculcated that those
who oppose a caucus are contemplating
the possibility of a union with the gold
men.
Will the Gold Men Bolt?
The leading question of the day seems
to be the query, “Will the gold standard
men bolt the convention If a silver plat-
form is adopted?” As to this particular
question, ex-Governor Roswell P. Flower
said today to your representative: “I am
frank to say that if an out and out silver
platform is adopted the gold standard
men, as representing truly the Democ-
racy, should leave the convention. I be.
lieve that with defeat or success of a silver
ticket it means that the leaders in the
movement and the movement itself will
be consigned by the people to oblivion be-
fore a year has passed, and the theory of
silver is known by the masses.”
Governor Flower was asked, “Will the
gold adherents nominate a candidate In
the convention in order to hold their forces
together?” '
“Frankly, I don’t think so. My own
belief Is that we will not be in the con-
vention when the roll is called for nomina-
tions. I don’t think we will remain in
the convention after the adoption of a sil-
ver plank.”
“Supposca Republican, Mr. Teller, was
nominated; would that, make the proposed
bolt any more pronounced?’ ’
‘ ‘I don ’15 believe that the Democratic con“-
: " _ "IHILDREN ,ought to
brighten a mother’s
daily cares and help
' her to be stron , capa-
ble and cheer 111. It
is’nt right for mothers
' to feel the burden of
life growing heavier
and heavier year by
car because of child-
earing and child-rear-
ing. That shows some-
thing is wron in the
mother’s hysxcal con-
dition. here is some~
unnatural weakness in
which disqualifies her
for motherhood.
When this is wrong
everything is wrong.
A woman’s physical
life is wrapped up in
the special organs of
her sex. When these
are restored to health
and strength the whole
. . ' woman becomes
healthy and strong. Dr. R. V. Pierce of
Bufl'alo, N. Y., has made a life-study of this
problem of restoring health and strength
to women. His “Favorite Prescription”
is the most successful remedy that has ever
been known {or women’s eculiar ailments.
Its sale exceeds the com ined sales of all
other medicines for women. It cures the
most obstinate uterine diseases. It goes
directly to the internal org’anism which is
the real 5 t of all the trou les. It imparts
vigor an health where they are most
needed ; heals ulceration ; stops the weak-
ening drains ; promotesregularity; restores
muscular. power to the ligaments, thus cor-
recting displacemegts of special organs in
the only natural way.
