porary Chairman.
THE WAR OF FACTIONS IS ON
The Silverites Administer the First
Dose of Medicine to Democratic
Gold Bug3 at Chicago-Mr. Waller
Serves Notice on Friends from
the South -Lively Sessions Ahead.
Chicago, July 7. The Democratic na
tional convention which was culled to
order at one o'clock selected Senator
Daniel as temporary chairman and
udjuurned at 5.45 until 10 a. m.
Chicago, July 7. The national Dem
ocratic convention was called to order
by Chairman Harrity at 1 o'clock. Mr.
Harrity asked that all present should
arise and remain so while prayer was
offered by Rev. Ernest M. Stires, rector
of Orace Episcopal church, Chicago, as
follows:
Almighty Ooil: The heurts of Thv peo
ple are lifted In gratitude to Thee for the
manifold blessings Thou hast vouchsafed
to our country from the dawn of It." in
dependence unto lliis day. We thank Thee
for the wisdom and courage which en
abled our fathers to build better than they
knew: for deliverance from all dangers
within and without our borders: and for
our unparalleled progress .n nines of
prosperity and peace, u Ood of our turn
ers, continue to guide ami stimuli! Thy
children. In our doubts and fears and dis
tress we cry unto Thee for help. Grunt
us wisdom to know among all the per
plexing problems of this time where lies
the path of honor and safety, Help us to
consider the vital questions which must
be answered, with thoroughness, patience
and tolerance. Olve us strength and
courage to do what an enlightened eon
science shall declure to be our duty. In
spire u with a patriotism above expe
diency. Remind us that honesty Is not
only the best, but the only policy wortny
the consideration or a great people. May
the hearts of all be tilled with profound
respect and sympathy for our tolling mul
titudes, oppressed with burdens too heavy
for them to bear. Teach us how to give
them relief without doing violence to tho
rlnhts of any.
while we plead for ourselves, we are
mindful of the sorrows of others. May
the day soon come when no power shall
be permitted to Indict upon a brave peo
ple Indefensible Slaughter and unspeak
able shame; when no cloud of despotism
shall overhang those who sigh for liberty.
May we ever feel the deepest sympathy
for the distressed In the great brotherhood
of mankind, and yet be able to maintain
an honorable peace with all.
Upon the grea:. oonventlon now assem
bled In Thy preset! - send Thy gracious
blessing. Hay Its Members be Inspired
with the most exalted patriotism seeking
no private or sectional advantage, but
only the national good; so that our united
and prosperous land may continue to be
In all that Is truest and best an Inspira
tion to the nations of the earth. And to
Thee, our God, shall we ascribe all tho
honor and glory, for ever and ever. Amen.
Upon the conclusion of the invoca
tion. Chairman Ilarrlty In slow, de
liberate tones, said: "Gentlemen of the
convention, by the direction of the
Democratic committee, I desire to re
port the following as the temporary or
ganization of the convention: Tem
porary chairman, David B. Hill, of New
York."
Then there was an outbreuk of ap
plause which lasted for two minutes.
A delegate from Minnesota got up to
make a motion and the chairman In
tending to ring fur order, rung the bell
for the band to play, remarking as the
band started up amidst laughter: "I
rung the wrong bell."
THE ORGANIZATION.
The rest of the organization (was read
as follows:
For temporary secretary Mr. Sheerln,
of Indiana; for sergeant-at-arms.
Colonel Martin, of Missouri.
"What Is the pleasure of the conven
tion?" Mr. Harrity asked, "on the
report as made from members of the
national committee."
On that, Mr. Clayton, a delegate from
Alabama, arose, advanced to the plat
form, and said:
Gentlemen of the Democratic national
convention, on behalf of twenty-three
members of your national committee, as
opposed to twenty-seven, and as I believe,
In accordance with the wish of the great
majority of this nation (cheers), I am au
thorized to present to this convention a
minority recommendation, which I shall
move as a substitute for a part of the mo
tion made by the chairman of the na
tional committee. , .
THE MINORITY REPORT.
To the Democratic National Convention:
The undersigned members of the Dem
ocratic national committee respectfully
recommend that the name of Hon. John
W. Daniel, of Virginia, be substituted In
the committee report for that of the Hon.
David B. Hill, of New York, and that the
Hon. John W. Daniel be chosen tempo
rary chairman of this convention. Signed,
Henry D. Clayton, Alabama: McKea. Ar
kansas: Michael F. Tarpey, California:

District of Columbia; H. B. Ferguson,
New Mexico; F. M. Richardson,. Okla
homa; J. L. Owen, Indian Territory,
As Mr. Clayton concluded by demand
ing the call of the states and a roll call,
cheer and cries of "call the roll" were
raised. Mr. C. 8. Thomas, of Colorado,
seconded the report.
V HARRITY ON HIS DIGNITY.
Again cries of "roll call" were raised,
and Mr. Harrity said: "It may as well
be understood, gentlemen, that as long
aa the present occupant In In the chair,
the proceedings will be conducted In
regular, orderly manner."
This announcement was received with
general applause.
Mr. Allen McDermott. of New Jersey,
was then recognized to speak in support
of the majority report. Mr. McDermott
told of the sterling Democracy of New
Jersey and gave praise to Senator Hill,
the man who had given to the party
the slogan "I am a Democat." Faint
cheering only greeted Senator Hill's fa
mous battle cry. Mr. McDermott con
tinued telling about the rights of the
minority. He warned the sliver men
that they were departing from the prin
ciples of the party In overruling the na
tional committee. We of the north, he
said, " want to support the ticket that
you will select. If you haw the
strength of giants do not expend It in
bitterness, but reserve It for the day
when you will need It In November."
He asked the majority not to tuke a
course offensive to the minority and
quoted "thy gentleness will make thee
great."
Ex-Governor Waller, of Conn., was
recognized when Mr. McDermott xat
down. His resonant voice rang out
clear and strong and washeard in every
part of the hull. Tho names of Hill and
Daniel, he said should be joined to
gether and sumo of the gentlemen took
him at his word and gave a cheer for
both. Mr. Waller suggested that Hill
should be elected temporary chairman,
and Daniel permanent chairman.
JIR. WALLER'S APPEAL.
If there were other arrangements
made he? hoped they would be wiped out
ami the chivalrous r.nd courageous
thing done at the opening of the con
vention. He had been told by Hepubll-
JOUN W. DAKIKU
can friends in coming to Chicago that
the gold men Would receive no cour
tesy, but he knew this was not so,
stand you beating us with votes, we can
stand you beating um w ith votes, butcan
stand any man you nominate, provid
ing he Is an honest man. We are In this
convention to stay." (Cheering.) As
he declared with uplifted hand "we are
here to stay," the convention cheered
and responded still more enthusiastic
ally with cheers and laughter and when
he added: "I am going to be here until
the last man has voted, and I will stay
with the Janitor and see him out," the
outburst of applause was uproarious.
Continuing, Governor Waller said he
supposed that the majority outnumber
ed the minority two to one. They In
tended to turn down Hill in ingomity. It
would be considered a personal matter
(cries of "no") If Hill were selected, he
would make a speech that would be
full of sound Democracy. You will
understand that he represented both
sides. If Hill were refused the right
to make his speech from the platform
he would make It from the floor, and
It would go to the country the same.
"Are you going to do that?" he asked
and a chorus of "yes" went up.
"Gentlemen, you are going to do It
are you ?" cried the speaker, and again
the affirmative shout went up.
He added, "turn down David B. Hill
and I will tell you what we will do to
my southern friends. We will tight you
here and elsewhere. We will tight you
until you are sorry for your Indiscretion
of this day."
GREETED WITH HISSES.
An outbreak of hisses followed by
cheers and hisses greeted this state
ment. All through the latter part of Mr.
Waller's speech attempts were made to
cry him Uo.wn, and he only responded
by repeating that he would
stay on the platform all day to
make himself heard. He concluded
with a short upieul for party unity,
and took his seat amid cheering from
the Connecticut delegation.
Mr. Charles S. Thonius, of Colorado,
seconded the motion of Mr. Cl.iytou
that his tuiiarks were In sympathy
with the feelings of u large part of the
audience, was shown ny the frequent
applause which punctuated his speech.
He maintained that It wits perfectly
seemly to overrule the national com
mittee and held that if the committee
were properly constituted, It would
show a majority the other way. 'J he
men who had worked In the Democratic
party, as he had, for twenty-five years,
without securing any r. n ewoiu, wen
becoming Indifferent to what others In
the party thought. As for David 15.
Hill, he wanted to repuulur the sug
gestion that his defeat to? the tempor
ary chairmanship would mean Igno
miny and disgrace for him.
That was not so, that he himself had
stood by Hill four years ago when he
did not have the support of his ntw
found friends. (Cheers. Mr. Thomas
concluded with an argument that the
adoption of the minority report xvns nrt
against, but In accordanss with Demo
cratic precedent.
WALTER RECITES liIL'TORY.
Hon. Charles E. Walter, of Alabama,
next took the platform in support of
minority report. He disclaimed any
Intention by the action the were about
to take to reflect upon their eastern
friends. They had given New Yoik
every Democratic nomination for the
last 25 years and western mid southern
Democrats had stood by them. Why.
he asked, could not the eastern men do
as they did In the west when they had
lost a campaign give the victors Ihe
entire management of the party organ
ization? He closed by saying he and
his friends thought they were entitled
to the nomination and that the commit
tee ought to have given It to them.
H. F. Harpey, of California, told the
convention in seconding the motion to
adopt the minority report that the
Democratic party had been loosing
faith In its adherence because It hdl
failed to keep faith with the voters by
adhering to the platform. (CfneiD.
The key note of the convention, he said,

CANDIDATES
AT CHICAGO
The Bland Boom Is Still Ahead ol
All Others.
M'LEAN'S CANDIDACY IS AMUSING
lie Is aa Energetic Canvasser ia His
Owa Interest and Talks with the
Dclegates-Situation Is Mixed.
Bland's Pension Record Is Ammu
nition for His Enemies.
Chicago, July 7. The McLean boom
has not caught up with the Bland
boom, or anywhere ncaf It, but that Is
not because Mr. McLean has left any
stone unturned which ht- could move
with his own hands. A more energetld
canvasser In his own Interest it would
be hard to find. His knowledge that he
can have the vice presidential nomina
tion for the asking has not diverted his
appetite for the presidency, but merely
whetted It to a keener edge. He be
lieves that the prize lies within his
reach, especially since Ihe other candi
dates have stirred up so much bad blond
between themselves.
His nmthods are simple. He wanted
Ohio to present his name, and he said
so. When ui;y delegate seemed to have
any other preference, McLean would
send for him In person and huve a lit
tle friendly talk in private. One by one.
he won them over till he felt strong
enough to urge his friends to put the
question to a vote In the delegation.
The result wus the adoption of a res
olution to present his name ami sup
port him. One of the Ohio delegates
said in speaking of this vote:
'I was not for McLean at first, but I
am -now. I like a man who knows what
he wants and asks for it. He told me
he wanted the nomination, he wanted
the Ohio endorsement, and he wanted
my vote. He didn't fidle-faddle about
asking for It, and I gave it to him."
THE WESTERN PLAN.
No doubt the votes of others were
won by the use of similar means. There
is nothing so captivating to the western
taste as a pluln statement of what a
UIU11 WuhU.
One of the comical features of the
movement In favor of McLean In such
an assemblage cs this is that although
as an editor and publisher, he takes
up the cause of free silver and works
It for political reasons, he Is, socially
and In the broader business sense,
firmly fixed in the opposing camp. It
can easily be Imagined what a row his
nomination iwould cause in the Pupulls
tlc Democracy when the news is spread
abroad that he is a plunger In the stock
market, keeping a private wore hot
between his office in Washington and
the New York office of ..brokers who at
tend to his business in the purlieus of
hateful Wall street.
He Is a millionaire, and, in the sense
the Populists understand It, a monopo
list. To the larger part of the crowd
here the possession of more property
than a farm and a pair of mules is a
crime; and the idea of these men com
pelled to turn and help such a man Into
the presidency presents an absurd pos
sibility, and pretends a campaign of
explanations and excuses.
Senator Lindsay, of Kentucky, con-
alders the situation decidedly mixed as
to candidates, though not at all In doubt
as to the radical character of the plat
form. The trend, he thinks, is rather
towards the selection of a conservative
man for a candidate for president than
in the opposite direction. As to Ken
tucky's vote after she ceases supporting
Blackburn, he thinks It will probably
be divided between Bland and Steven
son; and of all the compromise candi
dates suggested, Stevenson seems the
strongest. The complaint of the radi
cals Is that the vice president does not
talk enough, on the theory that a man
who is sincerely for free silver coinage
at 16 to 1 will muke his choice heard
for It everywhere.
STEVENSON AND SILVER.
The general understanding is, how
ever, that Stevenson would sign a free
coinage bill If It came to him, while he
might not actively engage in pushing
Its passage by executive pressure. His
approval would be based upon his nat
ural Inclination towards the free-coinage
Idea, and also upon the notion that
when a bill Is passed by congress, only
some very masterful reason should In
terfere with its becoming law.
Bland's pension record seems to be
giving his enemies a lot of ammunition
ad keeping his friends busy in his de
fence. He voted against the dependent
pension bill, and his attitude on private
pension legislation would also dampen
the ardor not only of actual pensioners,
but of that vast army who by private
bill, or easy interpretation of existing
law. hope to see their names some time
on the pension roll. Whether the Demo
cratic party can afford to begin a cam
paign In the West with an opportunity
for this antagonism Is a much debated
point among the delegates.
There Is no delegation more complete
ly under one man's thumb than that of
South Carolina. Mr. Tillman Is chair
manof the delegation, Its representa
tives onthe committee on resolutions,
and national committeeman from South
Carolina.
GIVES SILVER THE MAJORITY.
Michigan Delegation Will Vote Ac
cording to I' nit ! ule.
Chicago, July 8. The committee on
credentials at one o'clock this morning
by a vote of 27 to 16 recommended the
seating of the contesting delegates,
four-at-large and two In the Fourth
and Ninth districts, each from the state
of Michigan. The unit rule Is to pre
vail In the Michigan delegation, and
this action, If confirmed by the conven
tion, will throw the solid vote of Michi
gan Into the silver column and it gives
the silver men the majority of the dele
gation. The committee also recommended
that the territories and the District of
Columbia be entitled to six votes.
M'KINLEY'S PRIVATE WIRE.
Gave Him Fresh New or the Demo
cratic Convention.
Canton, July 7. Major McKlniey re
ceived the press reports of the Chicago
convention at his liouse over his private
wire and was interested in the story aa
It came In bulletins.- Mr. Hobarfs
speech was much commended here and
the opinions expressed concerning It
were of a complimentary nature.
Among Major McKinley's callers late
this afternoon was R. C. Hons, fresh
from a debate In Kentucky on the
money question with Harvey, author
of "Coins Financial School." Another
caller was B. H. Tracy, a presidential
elector from Warn ego, Kas. Congress
man Lorenzo Danford, of the Sixteenth
Ohio District, also made a pilgrimage
to Canton today to have a chat with
Major McKlniey.
BLAND IS INTERVIEWED.
He Concludes with a Sarcastic Jab at
Mt-Kinley.
Lebanon, Mo., July 7. "I must refrain
from talking politics." said R. P. Bland
to the United Press correspondent,
"anything but politics now for a few
days. You see, I don't want to force
myself Into notice now. I have spoken
effectively; the whole country knows
my attitude on the Issue of the day,
and as for the details of the convention
and the attitudes of the factors In It, I
am In the hands of the delegates,
"There is no personality about the
thing. You know everybody knows
what I think and I am truly represent
ed at Chicago. The best that can be
done for the greatest number is all I
ask or hope for. The Democratic party
will do Its best for the masses this
time I know," and the "Cedar of Le
banon" took up his pt unlng-knlfe and
went out to prune his grape vines.
"Don't you think that what is best
for the great business Interests of the
RICHARU PARivd iiL,AND.
country is also best for the greatest
number of people?" he was asked.
"No Interest, business or otherwise is
great in itself unless It Is good for the
country" he replied. "No more politi
cal questions please not even the Cu
ban question.
"Of course If I should be nominated I
will turn every office therein to a politi
cal headquarters, but I will not put any
telephone or telegraph Into my house;
that's the one place I mean to keep quiet
ana peaceiiu. -
GOLD MEN MAY BOLT.
Such Action Was Advised at
Late Sound Money Con
ference.
Chlcago,July7. The sound money men
met In the Auditorium hotel this even
ing and listened to a number of speech
es, some of which squarely advised the
gold men to bolt the convention.
The meeting was organized at 9
o'clock under the chairmanship of Sen
ator Gray, of Delaware. There were
over 300 gold men present, many of them
representing silver Btates, where the
unit rule has silenced them in the con
vention. Nearly every southern state
was represented.
After a session of nearly three hours,
the gold men -adopted the following
resolution: 'That a committee of one
or more be appointed from each state
to confer with the people and report
the temper concerning an organization
of the sound money Democracy, and
how fur such un organization should
go. Independent of the election next
November."

OUT-PACED BY THE BRITISH CREW
The Leander Oarsmen Fresh at the
Close, While the Yale Crew Went to
PiecesUr. W. M. McDowell, of
Chicago, Win the Scull Race.
Henley-the-Thames, July 7. The Yale
crew was defeated today In the trial
heat of the grand challenge cup race by
the Leander eight by a length and three
quarters. Leander's time was seven
minutes and fourteen seconds. This
puts Yale out of the race. Yale went oft
badly, their first four strokes being
very scratchy and Irregular. The boats
were timed at the Fawley court boat
house as having covered the course to
that point In 3.24. Leander was a yard
In front and began to gain fast, leading
by a quarter of a. length at the three
quarter mile post. Yale was beginning
to get very short. The Leander was
clear of Yale at Qrosvenor and was row
ing well. Yale also preserved her form,
rowing at a 38 stroke. At the Istheman
Yale . was very much exhausted, and
nearly two lengths behind. Leander
spurted at the finish. Leander rowed
much longer than the Yale men, who,
just at the finish, went all to pieces,
but had rowed a fine race all the way.
The Leander crew appeared perfect
ly fresh at the end of the race, and
rowed at a smart stroke some distance
beyond the finish, but the Yale men
seemed to be completely spent Brown
and Rogers, respectively, Nos. 2 and 4,
were very badly done up at the finish.
Both required attention .when the race
was over.
The men feel that they did them
selves Justice and acknowledged that
Leander Is the better crew. They are,
of course, terribly disappointed. They
took their defeat courageously.
M'DOWELL'S VICTORY,
Tn the fourth heat of the diamond
sculls between Dr. ,W. S. McDowell, of
Chicago, and Hon! E. A. Culness. of
Eton college, the former finished In 9.36,
three quarters of a length ahead of
Guineas, who seemed to be greatly fag
ged out.
Immense crowds lined the river
banks during the racing and the en
tire course was a mass of colors. Yale
and American flags were plentiful and
the Yale boys were cheered heartily by
their companions during the race.
There was no wind, and while the sky
was overcast It was very warm.
CHALLENGED TO A DUEL
Spaniard Seeks Fight with a New
York Correspondent.
Havard, July 7. Gen. Bradley John
son, a New York correspondent here,
has been challenged to fight a duel by a
retired Spanish military officer who was
offended by remarks In Gen. Johnson's
published correspondence about the
Spanish army.
The challenger finds himself In a rl
dlculous position, as the officers In ac
tive service refuse to recognize him as
their champion. Gen Johnson, who, as
an ex-officer of the confederate army,
has sen much of war, is In no wise
troubled over the vaportngs over the
self constituted champion. He says
that If his statements are such as to
require a meeting on the field, he is
perfectly willing to fight, when the
proper person to met him Is decided
upon. The Incident Is the main topic
of conversation at the clubs and cafes
but It Is believed that It will not lead
to any duel.
MOTHER AND CHILDMURDERED.
California Wouiun and Her Daughter
Killed by Lead and Hteel.
Sunta Barbara, Cal., July 7. Mrs. K.
R. Richardson, aged 65, and her 17-year-old
daughter Ethel were murdered late
on Sunday nlglit. There Is no clew to
tho murderer, but suspicion points to
Scott Richardson, the step-son of Mis.
Richardson, who had made frequent
threats to kill her. The only other theory
suggested Is that the murders were com'
mltted by a tramp.
A workman discovered the body of the
daughter in a vacant held near the Rich
ardson hoiiHO. Her throat had been cut
and there were several wounds In the back
of her head. A trail of blood was found
leading from the front door of Mrs. Rich'
ardxon's bedroom. Near the herd lay the
body of Mrs. Richardson, face down
ward. In a pool of blood. A bullet hole in
the head of the bed and another In the
window casing told of her efforts to es
cape the pistol of her assailant. Below
the woman s left eye was a bullet hole,
and there aws another through the left
hand. About the face and forehead there
were several deep gashes, and the back of
her head had been beaten by a stick load'
ed with lead.
When found Mrs. Richardson was still
alive, but she did not recover conscious'
nesa and died at noon. Both victims were
In their night clothing when discovered,
