It says: "I'pon the eve of notion by the Democratic convention nhout to assemble, we Unci tlio situation such that wo deem It proper to address all the friends of free silver coinage and financial reform In the United States. As members of the people's party, we hare occupied a position merely of careful observation, and we-havo not attempted to,nor shall wo attempt to, dictate to the national convention. "If the Democratic party expects to overcome the distrust which the pres ent administration lias earned for it, now is the time to prove its sincerity. "There Is a candidate upon whom the vote of all friends of free silver can be united, If all those who have the cause at heart will yield some thing of their extremo partisanship and place tho cause of silver lirstand complete party success second. Ho Is a candidate who, having, given moro ' than twenty years to tho dovoted struggle for this cause nnd for llmincl 1 reform, has shown that he can put his -devotion to his principles above all party ties or party successes.

The national committee selected a temporary chair man and passed upon the contested cases winch were brought before it. Unlike the action of the Republican committee In St. Louis, it refused to admit the press to the sessions of com mittee nnd Its proceedings were en tirely behind closed doors. Tho "action of ""the committee In seating tho gold delegation from Michigan was u surprise to the silver men. Itutonevoto was against plac ing the gold delegation on tho tem porary roll, and that was cast by Compau, who Is ono of the silver leaders of Michigan. Thomas of Colorado, made a motion to seat the gold delegation and forty-seven mem bers of the national committee voted to do so. In view of the threats that have been mudo by tho silver men that tho four dclogutcs-at-largo from Michigan would bo unseated In order to cast tho vote of that state for sil ver and securo a two-thirds majority In tho convention, It remains to bo scon what action they will take, now that the silver men on tho national committee, with ono exception, voted to scat the gold delegates. Other contests were or minor im portance and the decision In each case was in nust'iiso a test. HILL FOlt UHAIUMAN. An Important feature of tho meet ing was the detection of temporary chairman. Senator Hill received the majority or the votes of tho commit tee, and when Chairman Ilarrlty calls tho convention to order, he will pre sent Hill for temporary chairmen. The vote In the committee, 27 to 23, sliowcd the silver men were not satis fled and an announcement was imme diately made, that a minority report would bo presented, and Mr. Daniel, who was defeated In tho committee, would be the choice of the silver men for temporary chairman. It means that there will be n tight In the con vention ns soon ns tho chaplain llnlshos his prayer. There was an Interesting scene In the committee after Hill's election, after Thomas announced the determi nation of the silver men to elect another man, and Inquired of Chair man Ilarrlty If a silver man would bo recognized to place another man In nomination, a question which Ilar rlty resented us a reflection upon his fairness. lioth gold and silver dele gations from South Dakota were ordered placed upon tlio roll by a viva voco vote, each being given liulf a vote. 8ILVEK MEN DISSATISFIED. The silver men wcro not prepared ior tho announcement of Senator Hill for tho position of temporary chair man by the national committee. They had counted confidently upon secur ing the co-operation of n eufllclcnt number of gold men of tho commlttco to securo tho recommendation of Sen ator Daniel. When the silver committee held its first meeting its members were congratulating themselves upon tho probability of tho selection of Sena tor Daniel. When thoy met ngaln In the evening they showed plainly that they wcro disappointed, but they were not noticeably discouraged. Thoy assorted moro positively than over their determination to securo control of tlio temporary organization, re gardless of the action of tho com mittee. Thoy took tho position that that the result was secured by open Intimidation. Tho Interview between Mr. Whitney and Committeeman Norrls.of tho Dis trict of Columbia, was referred to as a specimen of tho gold men's tactics and t was stated in tho meeting that Whitney had even threatened to ruin Norris In his business if he should per sist in his determination to support the silver men for temporary chair man. The plan of the silver men will now bo to have a report prepared by tho minority of the commlttec.prcscntlng their choice for the position nnd to seat him at all hazards. TODAY'S nBPOKT. One of tho first leaders to enter the hall was Senator Jones of Arkansas, Senator Harris, the famous Tennes see octocgennrlan, cumo in perspiring, after a. tussle with tlio minions of law at tho ontrance. At 11:50, ono of tlio Bland bands entered tho south en trance playing "Dixie." This caused great enthusiasm. It was generally remarked that Eastern delegates (gold), were extra slow at arriving. It was Just noon when tho first empire state delegate, Frederick R. Coudert, took ills scat. Tho most conspicuous guest to enter, wus Sena tor Stewart, whoso long patriarchal beard made him easily recognizable. THE GOLD MEN. The gold men are uncertain what course to pursue In the convention, They ure divided Into three ceurses: First To Issue a manifesto; second to keep seats and refuse to tuko part In convention proceedings; third to bolt. Probably no definite decision will bo reached until tho Michigan contest was declared. The gold men say If this is against them proceed ings will bo entirely un-Democratlc and revolutionary and they nre do- In some signal manner. I -..& The convention wuBcillVeuto outer at 12:50 p. in. by Chairman Ilarrlty of the national committee. VTIioupponr nnOo of chairman Ilarrlty as he stepped forward .to the dcik, nttlied Inn slate colored summer suit, pio voked n round or applause from the Eastern delegates. "Gentlemen: Tho convention will rise for prayer, "tho chairman said, and there was a clattcrof chairs nstlic Ixidy in tho center of tho ball camo to Its feet with considerable confusion. The chaplain Itcv. Edward M. Sttres, stepped forward and delivered the In vocation. As the convention seated ltelf, Chairman Ilarrlty stopped for ward, and with a sharp stroke of tho gavel, announced In ringing tones tho selection of David B. Hill, temporary chairman. jj The gold men leaped tro their feet with waving arms and shouted ap plause. Among tho spectators also, there was a clicor of approbation. Some enthusiastic delegate yelled "threo cheers for David II. 11111," and they wero given with n will. S. IV Shccrln, of Indiana, for secretary and John Martin scrgcaut-at-ilrms woro also announced when the convention had quieted down. I nf. Of the calmly, MINOK1TY KEPOK' "wuiib is tuo pleasure or tue con ventlon?" asked Hnrrlty calmly, us If ho did not know of tho storm which was to follow. Clayton, a Wmbcr of tho national committee from Arkan sas, arose nnd every silvcnman In the hall know that the gauntlet was to be thrown down. They nros$ to n man and cheered. As soon as Clayton announced his duty to present a minority report, the demon stration that followed tho announcement of the selection of Hill was but a breeze compared to tho cyclone or six-hundred od (delegates, who mounted their chairsand cheered wildly. From 1000 throats in tho audience came n hoarso roar of ap plause, that sounded like thunder. Over threo minutes tho demonstration continued. It was ronowed at several points, us Clayton read the minority report of tho nomination of Senator Daniel. Ah Clayton closed, with tho em phatic demand for roll call tho silver Itcs cheered wildly. Whitney, Slice ban and their followers, sitting In the New York delegation, had evidently steeled themselves for defeat, for they chatted and smiled. Chairman Ilarrlty recognized ex Governor Wnller, of Connecticut, he tried to appease the silver men by In timuting that tho speech Of Hill would not bo o (Tensive, but when he asked "will you turn him down?" there wcro cries of "wo will." "Very well," ho shouted dotluntly,"turn him down and wo will fight you horo and clsowhere. This unmasking of tho position of tho gold men was met with a storm of hisses, and one of tho silver men shouted "ono vote for MoKlnloy." Ho finished with an appeal to the ma jority not to use bruto force. Call of states resulted in favor of tlio motion 550, against .'MO. Not voting one, (Hill.) Announcement of tho vote caused great cheering on the part of tho.'sllvcr men. Senator Daniels was escorted to a chair amid renewed cheering and great confusion. Daniels received a great ovation. Delegates then cheered Hurrity for the fairness which ho displayed as chairman. Daniels referred to lull us a great senator, whereat tho dele gates were loudly cheered. Daniels said the country would not mis construe tho action of tho conven tion. Daniels Is still speaking and strongly advocating tho free coinage of silver atu ratio of 10 to 1.

Ford wanted tho court to examine tho wound on Bcutty's leg. Counsel for state,Coudlt and Haydcn,obJectcd, It would cnablo tho court to deter initio whether ho acted In self-defense or was tho aggressor. Ford Bald he demanded an Investigation. Tho wounds would heal and ills appear Iwforo tho gruud Jury met and 'this man was charged with a felony. Tho state was trying to convict an Innocent muii nnd did not want Bcutty's wounds shown as it would acquit him. Ho would show Beatty wus not struck first on tho hip. He would show that no left-handed man over struck that blow, Ford'declarcd ho wanted the court nnd district attor ney to see the wounds and wanted tho court to becomo n witness as to tho character of this wound. Huyden made a spirited reply. Court decided to cxamlno tho wound on tlio thigh and retired to do so. Dr. Johnson now testifies that McCormack could not have struck that blow on tho hip,' eight Inches long, and tho back end of the blow four inches higher thun In front, If Beatty was standing in front of him, ns he held the club in his loft hand.
