CHICAGO, July 8. Tho silver delegatus
to tho Democratic convention nro fur from
satisfied with tho result of tho conforoucc
of their committee with Chairman Hnr

committee of tho national Democratic
committee. They lriu! not counted much

upon securing posltlvo ncqulescenco In their
demand to bo iillowed to practically se
cure tho temporary chairman of tho con
vention, but they had hoped to secure a
more definite Idea of tho program of tho
national committee than they succeeded
in obtaining. Tho result of the confer
ence was nlmost nil, and tho silver men
left tho committee room fooling that their
labor had boon practically in vain.
They were also displeased with tho post
ponement of tho matter until so late a
date as next Monday. In tho absence of any
definite assurance from Mr. Harrity they
nro Inclined to tho opinion that there is a
disposition, If not a determination, on the
part of tho national committee toselectun
nntl-sllver man for chairman, and post
pono tho announcement of tho selection
until tho very evo of tho convention. This
they regard as trilling with thuni to a do
greo. They are, therefore, disposed to
proceed with their plnnn pretty much as if
Mr. Harrity had assured them that tho
committee would name a gold chairman,
so as to bo prepared for the emergency if
this should prove to bo tho plan of tlio
committee. This plan would bo, as here
tofore outlined, to have a Silverman agreed
upon in advance by the forces and to elect
him In open convention over tho choice of
tho committee.
Chairman Harrlty's exact position was
that tho full national committee would
havo to pass upon the temporary chair
manship and that ho had no means of

knowing how tho members of tho coin
mlttoo would regard tho subject. Ho ven
tured tho oplnlcn that they would bo con
trolled by thcirconvlctloiisiinJ their judg
ment. If controlled by conviction nlono,
thoy would probably select a man holding
tho same financial vlows, which they
might Individually hold, whoroas If thoy
consulted their judgmont thoy might
select a man whoso vlows would bo In
harmony with tho sentiment of tho ma
jority of tho convention.
Tho silver people also feel that tho as
surance in rogurd to contests was very In
definite, and thoy find that it will bo neces
sary for thorn to continue their precau
tious In this respect. They are quite de
termined that tlio silver majority shall bo
doprlved of no advantage that justly per
tains to tho majority.
Tho distribution of tlokcts which has
been arranged for Is not altogether to their
satisfaction, but thoy do not seo their way
clear as yet to alter tho situation In this
respect. It appears that soveral states
which will bo represented In tho conven
tion by sliver delegates havo advocates of
tho gold standard on tho national com
mittee. Kach national committeeman will
receive fifty tickets. This arrangement
will, it Is claimed, give tho gold mon an
uuduo advnntago In tho convention from
those states. The distribution Is, howovor,
in accordance with precedents, and thoro
will probably bo no effort to disturb it.

THE SUPERINTENDENCY.
An Important Decision Hearing on the
llognrt Com.
Tlie hearing In the case of (leorgo W. Mc
llhcnny, recently elected Comity Superin
tendent of D.iiiphln county, against the
issuing of whoso commission tlio llarrishurg
Municipal League maile a protest on the
ground that ho was illegally elected, had
bribed directors and was immoral and in
competent, was had before Superintendent
of Public Instruction SchacH'cr yesterday.
Superintendent Schaelfcr had add rowed a
series of questions to the Attorney Gen
eral, embodying the charges and asking
to what extent ho had jurisdiction. At
tlio hearing, Attorney (iencral McCor
mick said a fair interpretation gives tho
State Superintendent tho authority to
inquire only into his competency, lie
cannot inquire into tho moral character
of the Individual heforo hlrn unless he
can find an act covering it. Tills does
not appear anywhere As to tlio manner of
Ids election, the Superintendent of Public
Instruction has jurisdiction. That part
of tho protest which refers to money
having been used to procuro his elec
tion is not admissible. This left but
several questions for Superintendent
SchaeUer to consider, and they are
whether legularly elected, qualified for
the oilice and entirely competent. Tlio argu
ment proceeded on tlio lilies of Mcllhcnny's
competency and tlio regularity of his certifi
cate. At its close, Superintendent Schaell'er
took the papers. The action practically de
cides that tho commission will be issued to
Mcllhenuy and the decision has tlio samo
hearing on tho liogart case, as no objections
havo been filed as to his competency.
