ensos which woro brought licforo it. Un

tion at St. Louis, it refused to admit tho
press to tho sosslonsof tho committco, and
Its proceedings wero entirely behind closed
'doors. Tho coinmltteo decided to tako up
tho contested cases first. There was very
llttlo Interest in thorn, with tho exception
of tho Michigan and Nebraska cases.
Those, it was expected, would dctcrinlno
tho relativo strength of tho gold and silver
men on tho committco.
Tho Nebraska caso was settled in f nvor
of tho gold men by avoto of 26 to 23, which
was about a test vote, ns was shown later
by tho voto for tho temporary chairman.
Members of tho committoo who wore in
favor of tho gold delegation and voted
with tho nmjorlty said tho coso was very
peculiar, and it was very hard to tell
which sldo had tho regularity, although It
was his opinion that tho gold men had a
long scrios of precedents and should bo
seated. Tho contest, however, was de
cided on a straight voto as to preference of
members of tho committtoo as to tho gold
or silver dologatos. Tho probabilltlos aro
that tho convention will seat tho silver
delegation.
Both tho gold and silver delegations
from South Dakota wero ordcrod placed
on tho rolls by a viva voco voto, .each bo
lug given u half voto.
Tho action of tho committco In seating
tho gold delegation from Michigan was a
surpriso to tho silver men. But ono voto
wa3 cast against placing tho gold delega
tion on tho temporary roll, and that was
cast by Mr. Campeau, who is ono of tho
silver leaders of Michigan, a most pro
nounced sllvor man, and one who has been
emphatio in his denunciation of tho pres.
ent administration. Mr. Thomas, of Col-
orado, mado tho motion to seat tho gold
delegation, and forty-seven members of
tho national committco voted to do so.
In view of tho threats that havo been
mado by tho silver men that tho fourdelo-
gatos-at-largo from Michigan would bonn'
seated in order to cast tho voto of that
stato for silver, and secure a two-thirds
majority in tho convention, it romains to
bo seen what action thoy will tako, now
that tho silver men on tho national com
mittee, with ono oxception, voted to seat
tho gold delegates. Tho other contests
wero of minor importance, and tho do-
clsion in each caso was In no senso a test.
Of course tho Important feature of tho
mooting of tho committoo was the soleotlon
of a temporary chairman for tho conven
tion. As lias been generally predicted,
Senator Hill received a majority of tho
votes of the committoo, and today, whon
Chairman Horrity calls tho convention to
order, ho will presont Mr. Hill for tern
tiorary chairman. Tho voto In the oom-
mltteo, 27 to 2a, showed that tho silvor
men woro not satisfied, and tho annouuoo
incut was Immediately mado that a minor
ity report will be presented and that Mr.
Daniel, who was defeated in committee,
will be made tho choice of stiver men for
temporary chairman. It moans thut there
will bo a light in tho convention as boon us
the chaplain nnlsluw his prayer.
Thero was an Interesting scene in tho
tjonuulttoe after Mr. Hill's selection, when
Mr. Thomas announced tho determination
of tho silvor mon to elect another man and
inquired of Chairman Harrlty if a silver
man would bo recognized to place another
man in nomination, u question which Mr.
Harrlty rosented ur a reflection upon his
fairness.
Whon Mr. Clayton, of Alabama, made
his speech, asking tor tho selection of Soil'

porary chairman who was unsatisfactory
to n majority of tho convention was to
avert a light as souu as tho convention is
ulled to order.
Tho committee completed Its work by

Chairman Stein gavo tho information
that tho lnvestlcatlon would bo conducted
