Confusion and excitement were flung
into a conference of silver men today
almost at the outset. An abortive end.
lug of the whole movement seemed
imminent but the final success achieved
was all the greater by the contrast. The
explosion came from a premature sugges
tion that the caucus proceed to talk
over the matter of candidates. Instantly
there was a hubbub. "It's no use,"
"Couldn't agree," "Too close to the con
nention now," and dozens of similar com
ments were heard. An understanding
among the leading spirits in the confer
ence was that an effort should be male
to concentrate the silver votes under the
lead of Colorado solidly for Gorman.
The practical refusal of the caucus to
even consider the matter much less to
unite upon a candidate was a disagree
able surprise, but those who were chiefly
instrumental in getting the caucus to
gether adroitly avoided forcing the issue
at the beginning that threatened if then
pressed to precipitate perhaps irretriev
able dissension. Instead of jamming
ahead roughshod and securing a candi
date, efforts were ostensibly bent toward
producing a silver plank for which all
present would pledge themselves to
stand through thick and thin.
The dulcet eloquence and quick intel
ligence of Patterson of Denver was
brought into play and under his skilful
piloting harmony as big as a rnountamn
soon began to loom into view. lie care
fully avoided any mention of presidential
candidates and urged a full expression
from every man present as to what
should he lone ani] the hest method of
going about it. In place of an angry
debate ensuing as to the titnesa or un
fitness of uifterent candidates the forty
two delegates present. as ii result of
Patterson' delicate manoeuvering. wi-r
soon engaged in an earnest but harmless
discussion of the phraseol ,gy of a silver
plank that could le pushed through by
the platform committee and the course
to be pursued when the platform
reached the convention. All the
intricacies of silver legislation
were apparently shown in three mortal
hours of speech luaking that followed,
by every man from the Rocky
mountains that came to Chicago ii tlied
with an address on the silver nuestion.
The roundup caie in the form of a i-it
tion to appoint I committee of one from
each state represented to help fraimie the
much discussed plank. The motion was
carried and by this time the inclination
to pugnaciousness so early ii the pro
ceedings had thoroughly evaporated and
the distribution of honors in the frori of
places on the committee helped to molli
fy those who doubted that anything
after all was t co me of the caucus.
Seizing ii favorable opportunity Pat
terson again took the floor and after
pointing tint how much depended upon
united action gradually led up to the
statement that he had originally been it
Hill man but of late he had beeime con.
vinced that the most available mtan from
(2P C~'dN
a silver standpoint for a candidate favor
able to the silver interests ano who had
aroused the least antagonism and was
the most likely to win was Gorman of
Maryland. When Patterson's remarks
were reinforced by O')onnell, another
Colorado delegate of marked ability,
who proclaimed himself an original Gor
man nian, the temper of the caucus to
ward the Maryland senator began to
show symptoms of a decided warming
up. Clark of Montana helped on the
boom. The Montana delegates were not
slow to fall into line and the representa
tives forming the remainder of the con
ference after much canvassing
of possibilities, of balloting in the con
vention put themselves on record by de
claring one after another a preference
for (Gormun or a williness to unite in his
support. When the patient manipula
tion and infinite tact of the leaders in
the caucus had been finally crowned
with due reward 'in adjournment was at
once taken subject to call.
The net result. of the pledges made.
if carried out. is the corralling of ex
actly 42 votes for Gorman on.the first
ballot. These votes are to come from
Colorado, Montana, Idaho. Nevada.

that its action will directly influence
thirty other votes in different delegations,
making a total of 70 for Gorman as an
outcome of the day's work by the silver
men.

Ni:w 1Yoaa, June 2O.- -The World
idem.i will say enitorially tomorrow:
"The New York delegation to Chicago
tied itself with a resolution to support
senator Hill so long as he was a candi
date for the presidency. Senator Hill is
not a candidate but is simply holding
the delegation together as a method of
heating Mr. Cleveland, and it is now a
forlorn inti futile hope. The delegation
was elected ostensibly to secure the
nomination of Hill, not to prevent that of
any one wlse. The nomination of Hill has
long been seen to be wholly improbable.
It is now known to be Impossible. Why
should thlii New York delegation lend
itself to an eltort to thwart the wishes of
of the deiu.iriiy of the nation and to
defeat tine New Yorker who tun be nom

CmlAeo, June 2t).--The events of the
day have been such as to luhl hope to
the Cleveland mnovement. The populous
state of Illinois. high in the aiphabetical
list. has decided to cast its 48 votes for
Grover Cleveland. and thus one more
state which has been so long lingering
in the doubtful list has been aihdel to
the Cleveland column. Indiana. too.

For the first time since the opening of
the fray. Senator I ilornian avows his be
lief in the nomination 'f ex-President
Cleveland and while he speaks leorten
tioiusly if the dangers of sucht a result
he waves from him the ambition that
has haunted his niovementis for the past
three days and declares that no friend
of his must enter his name in the presi
dential list. "1 do not think Cleveland's
nomination advisable," said the senator
from Maryland, "but as matters now
stand it seems inevitable." In this terse
sentence Gurman reviews the contest
and -xpresses his resignation to the in
evitable. Hut there are two men who
stand undaunted, side by side with
Grover Cleveland in the race for presi
dential honors and few wen have the
temerity to challenge the sincerity of
their position.

cast for the distinguished senator. lhii
old proverb that history repeats itself is
finding frequent repetition among Clevi
land people tonight. It is reneininered
that exactly two weeks ago at the Min
neapolis national conventi 'i the anti
Harrison members of the national '0ni
mittee defeated the Harrison contingent
and decided upon Fassett of New York
as temporary chainran of the i' n
vention. Fussett was ieie of the
most earnest of anti- Harrison lie
ple, and yet the national nomnittei'
decided upon him for temporary ihair
man in the face of the convention whiuh
was three-fifths for Harrison and he nas
allowed to be seated without a protest.
Two days later. however. on the trial oi
strength, the anti-Harrison people were
defeated and on the day following the
president was triumphantly nominated.
All this was called to the public's mind
by Cleveland and it is stated that the
YO\tN~iu V FLOH:E.
program will repeat itself in the p resent
democratic national convention. The se
lection of Owens by the national com
mittee they hold to be but the augur of
defeat of the politicians by the masses
of the party. and predict with great con
fidence, the nomination of the ex-presi
dent on Wednesday next.
In another respect is there a parallel
between the two conventions. The dele
gates from the silver states two weeks
ago allied themselves with the anti
Harrison forces and bitterly opposed
the president's renomination. Today the
delegates fromi the silver states are for
the most part arrayed against the nomi
nation of ex-President Cleveland and
have turned to the south and east in
search of ia ombination which will de
feat his nomination. In one or two
states these overtures were successful in
winning over delegates to lioes as
opposed to I'leveland. South Carolina
this morning decided to go for }Soies the
western candidate as the best man with
whom to beat Cleveland. to who:e nomi
nation they are bitterly hostile.
Cleveland men are straining every
nerve to add to their strength on the
tirst ballot and wherever it is possible to
consolidate a stute dill'gation and have
it present a solid front they ire doing it.
Their greatest work is being exerted in
the delegations whiere the I leveland
entiment is preponderant. At great
deal of pressure was brought by them
on I orman to prevent the use of that
gentleman's name as one of the opposing
I candidates. Today they employed every
means at their command to induce (;or
man to publicly announce that he was
not a candidate and would not enter th3
tield. Senator Carlisle was less doubt
ful about Cleveland's strength in Ne v
York and is now favorable to his renom
ination. Evidence of the careful muethod
the Cleveland people are pursuing was
ailorded at it meeting of the Ferment
delegation when the unit rule was
adopted and a a solitary anti-tleveland
vote therein made to count for Cleve
land.
