BIMETALLIC CROWD WDLL HOLD
ITS FIRST CHICAGO MEETING
TODAY.
NECESSARY VOTES ARE PLEDGED.
Silver Men Will Run the Convention
and Name the Man for First
■ Place.
CHICAGO, June 29.—The leaders of
the Democratic silver forces in the
various states are beginning to gather,
preparatory to their meeting, which
will be held tomorrow, under the aus
pices of the bimetallic Democratic na
tional committee. The meeting is not
to be of as general a character as has
been supposed. It will be composed, in
a large measure, of representatives of
the bimetallic committee, which was
organized in Washington last August,
and there will also be present other
leading silver Democrats, to whom in
vitations have been especially extend
ed. A partial list of those expected in
cludes Senator Roach, of North Da
kota; S. B. Evans, of lowa, and also
the following members and officers of
the executive committee of the bimetal
lic organization: Senator Isham G.
Harris, Tennessee; Senator James K.
Jones, chairman, Arkansas; Senator
David Turpie, Indiana; Hon. William
J. Stone, Indiana; Hon. William li.
Hinrichseiv, Illinois; Hon. Casey Young,
Tennessee; ex-Speaker Charles F.
Crisp, Georgia; Maj. T. O. Towles, Mis
souri.
Commencing tomorrow, meetings will
probably be held daily until the begin
ning of the convention, and possibly
while the convention continues ) if there
appears to be occasion for them. The
general purpose of the meetings is to
exercise a supervisory care over the
interests of the silver cause in the
Democratic convention..
The conference was first decided
upon two months ago, when the silver
people were not sure of being able to
control the convention, as they now
are, and when they considered it pos
sible that it would be necessary, In the
protection of their interests, to keep an
eye upon the proceedings of the na
tional Democratic committee. It was
considered important at that time that
the silver people should have such a
perfect understanding that there
would be no doubtful moves made in
the convention or elsewhere. Now they
profess to feel so sure of- their ground
that they do not longer feel the neces
sity for such caution. Among the mat
ters to which they do propose to give
their attention are the contests for
seats in the convention, made by silver
men, and the selection of a temporary
chairman of the convention, and, pos
sibly, later, to the preparation of a
platform, and, if necessary, the selec
tion of candidates.
Major T. O. Towles. of Missouri, who
is secretary of the National Bimetallic
Democratic committee, was among the
arrivals today. In conversation he said
that probably the first work of the
committee would be.the appointment of
a sub-committee to confer with the
national Democratic committee with
the view of securing harmonious action
in the convention.
"Our committee." said Major Towles,
referring to the bimetallic organization,
"has done much of the work which has
resulted in securing a majority for sil
ver in the convention, and we want to
make sure that the cause is protected
in the convention. Whatever the pre
dilections of the national committee, I
suppose they will show no disposition
to deprive the silver majority of the
convention of its right to name the
temporary chairman and to exercise
other rights belonging to the majority,
but if such a disposition should be
manifested it would be resented and
the silver men would undoubtedly
name a candidate of their own for
presiding officer. Furthermore, they
would elect him. To prevent such a
clash as this, or a clash upon any other
point, It will be necessary that our or
ganization should have an understand
ing with the national committee."
Mr. Towle thinks that when the test
comes, the silver men will be found to
have the necessary two-thirds to nomi
nate a presidential candidate. The
bimetallic committee has from the first
studiously eliminated the question of
candidates from its consideration, but
will take the matter in hand later if
it appears necessary to secure the nom
ination of a desirable man.
Senator Harris, who, by virtue of his
position as chairman of the national
Democratic committee, will preside over
the conference, arrived to-night and
took quarters at the Sherman house.
The initial meeting of the series will
be called to order by him at noon to
morrow. The meetings will not be
open to the public.
Senator Jones, of Arkansas, who will
be a prominent figure in these meet-
Ings, confirmed the statement of Secre
tary Towles that the first work of the
conference would be to confer with the
sub-committee of the national Demo
cratic committee as to the selection of
a temporary chairman and as to con
testa if necessary. Mr. Jones says that
so far as he has heard from the silver
delegates, they practically agree upon
the main features of the platform. The
Idea is to give first place to the finan
cial plank and to make all other ques
tions, including the tariff, subservient
to this.
Asked what Influence he expected Mr.
Whitney's coming to Chicago to have
upon the convention, the senator re
plied: "None whatever. It will have
no more effect than would a very fine
spray on a ducks back. The people
have made up their minds as to what
they want, and the delegates they have
sc-nt here will be here to do their bid
ding, and no amount of Influence will
change their purpose or turn the course
of events.
"I see," continued the senator, "that
it Is susirested that business Influence
can be brought to bear to change the
votes of Southern delegates. Never
was a. greater mistake. We of the
South feel that we have already been
ground to powder and no amount of
pulverizing will affect ua. Mr. Whit
ney v;ill be treated courteously but
this is not going to be Mr. Whitney's
convention."
TELLER'S CAMPAIGN.

nation.
CHICAGO. June 29.—Senators Dubois, of
Idaho, and Pettlgrew, of South Dakota, who
were among the delegates who walked out ot
the Republican convention beoauio of th»
Bdo'illaa of a gold standard piank, roaehcl
TUESDAY MORNING, JtJNE 30, 1896.
the city today, as did Congressman Shafortb,
of Colorado. They are supposed to be here
for the purpose of promoting Senator Teller's
interest in the Democratic national conven
tion, though they do not openly avow that
such is their purpose. Senator Dubois de
clined to say more than that he was hopeful
that the Democrats would nominate a man
for president upon whom the silver forces,
whether Democratic, Republican or Populistic,
could combine, and insure his election.
SOLID FOR SILVER.
Cockrell Laughs at the Idea of Any
Currency Compromise.
CHICAGO, June 29.—Senator Cock
rell, of Missouri, was among today's
arrivals. He is a delegate to the con
ventlor;, and is here for the purpose of
attending the silver conference. "We
shall nominate a straight silver man
on an unequivocal silver declaration in
the platform," he said, when asked for
an expression of his views.
"I am, of course, for Mr. Bland," lie
continued, "and our delegation is in
structed for him, but if we cannot get
him, we shall get some other man who
is sound on the currency question, and
Missouri will support him at the polls.
Mr. Bland is a safe, practical man,
and if elected would be entirely reli
able as a president There can be no
doubts on that score. I have not, how
ever, devoted myself so much to find
ing presidential material as I have to
making sure of a silver majority in the
convention. That assured, we shall
have but little difficulty in finding an
available man for president."
The senator thinks the financial
question will be made the paramount
issue in the platform and that there
will be a square declaration for the
mintage of silver on terms of equality
with gold at the ratio of 16 to 1, and
without awaiting the co-operation of
other nations. He laughs at Mr. Whit
ney's suggestions of a compromise, and
says it will not be entertained. He
does not believe that an unequivocal
silver plank will drive many Eastern
men out of the party, and argues that
on the contrary it will bring many
votes to the party that cannot be
caught in any other way.
"We shall gain Immensely In the
West," he said, "and we shall not lose
in the East. The people have not yet
come to a full realization of the
strength of the silver movement. It
will sweep the country at the polls as
it has swept the Democratic party at
the primaries."
Senator Cockrell does not consider
that there is any danger of a bolt by
the New York or other Eastern dele
gates.
ECKELS HOPEFUL.
Gold Cause Not Yet Lost, He
Thinks.
CHICAGO, June 29.—Comptroller Eckels
reached the city today and took up quarters at
the Palmer house. Mr. Eckels says that he
does not consider the gold cause as lost by
any means, for the reason that he cannot
believe that the delegates will refuse to listen
to reason. He thinks the Southern delegates
do not yet fully realize the magnitude 6t the
position they are about to assume, or how it
will affect the business of the country, if they
persist in a declaration for the free and un
limited coinage of silver. This he is of the
opinion, can and will be made so clear to
them by the business men of the country,
that they will hesitate, and a sufficient num
ber of them change their minds to alter the
result. The gold men will, he thinks, make
their principal fight on the platform.
lII,AMI'S BOOM.
Nearly Three Hundred Votes Claimed
for Him.
CHICAGO, June 29.—The Bland boom is the
first of the personal booms to arrive. George
W. Allen, secretary of the St. Louis Bland
executive committee, came in as an advance
agent of the boom today and opened up what
are to be Bland headquarters at the Audi
torium annex. Mr. Allen counts definitely
upon Bland's being the leading candidate
from the opening of the convention. He places
the strength of his candidate on the first bal
lot at not fewer than 200 votes, and says it
may reach as high as 275.

RED HOT FIGHT.
Elrne and Downey Boxed Twelve
Hound* to a Draw.
NEW YORK. June 29.—At City Line Park
tonight Jack Downey, of Brooklyn, and Frank
Erne, the Buffalo lightweight boxer, fought a
twelve-round draw under the auspices of the
South Brooklyn Athletic club. The men
weighed about 135 pounds and the fight was a
hot one from start to finish. The bout was
declared a draw.
In the preliminary, bouts, Jack McKeck, of
New York, and Jack' Ward, of Newark. N. J.,
fought a ten-round draw at 110 pounds. Tommy
i Butler, of Brooklyn, and Joe Gans (colored)
of Baltimore, met at 130 pounds. It was a
very hard fight during the twelve rounds and
the Baltimore man was given the decision.

Blunder Canited Collision.
ST. CLOUD, Minn., June 29.—West-bound
Passenger No. 7, on the Great Northern, out
of here at 11:10 last night, ran into the rear
end of an extra freight train at Garfield.
The caboose and two box cars were smashed
Into kindling wood, but no one was hurt.
I Insufficient yard room at Garfleld is sai3 to
be the cause. Two freights and a passenger
were to meet, and lack of siding compelled
the extra to hold part of the main line. A
flagman was sent back, but is said to have
gone only four car-lengths, and the engineer
of the passenger could not reverse in time
to prevent an accident.^

PW UP SJtATES
POLITICIANS FROM THE COUNTRY
DISTRICTS ARE BEGINNING
TO ARRIVE.
KINGSLEY iS ON THE GROUND.
HE SAYS HE HAS HOPES BUT
DOESN'T KNOW WHAT HIS
CHANCES ARC
GIBBS FOR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR
He Informs Ramsey County's Dele*
ffutiun He Wouldn't Object to
Second Place.
There were a sufficient number of
politicians from the country districts,
last night to make the situation one of
interest because every blessed one of
them sat up to hear from Minneapolis.
Not that the returns from the up-river
city were necessary to bring conviction
to the most doubting as to the nominee
of the state convention, but like rooters
at a ball game, they wanted to see the
finish, even when the result was a sure
thing. The slatemakers began their
work as soon as the Ramsey county
convention adjourned, yesterday after
noon, and, strange as it may appear,
there was -little division of sentiment
as to the proper names to be presented
and supported by Ramsey to nil the
minor places on the state Republican
ticket.
• • •
Gen. Clapp and his forces disap
peared soon after the convention ad
journed. Some one at the Windsor
suggested that they were hatching up
some sort of deal to make trouble for
the Clough people. But the friends of
Clapp in the opposition camp were
rather of the opinion that the general
had satisfied himself that he had not
the strength to even embarrass the
Clough people, and tha* he is too good
a Republican to harbor grudges. They
said, "Clapp has gone into retirement
for a needed rest, and will be found
working as hard as any of us for the
success of the ticket that will be nomi
nated Wednesday."
» * *
At the Windsor Gen. Childs, wearing
a bicycle cap, shook hands with friends
who congratulated him on the indorse
ment he had received in the afternoon
convention. But the general smiled
when asked what he thought of his
chances for nomination. "Nothing is
certain yet," he said. "I have friends
in Hennepin and friends all over the
state. The result will be better known
after we hear from Hennepin."
•♦ ♦ •
Nate Klngsley, who also covets the
office of attorney general, was asked
the same question. "What is the situ
ation; what are your chances for nomi
nation?" And Mr. Kingsley smilingly
admitted that he baft hopes, but
that he did not kr.cv. Thomas H.
Martin, who has opened headquarters
as a candidate for secretary of state,
said he. did not know there was any
change in the situation. He is here as
a candidate, and hopes to carry enough
votes with him from the Sixth district
—Secretary Berg's,-bal lwick —to con
vince the delegates of the convention
that some other man th in Berg should
be nominated for the tffice. But the
precedence of a second lterm is largely
in Berg's favor, and those who pretend
to know, say the opposition to the pres
ent incumbent will not be sufficient to
warrant a nomination.
* • *
John li. Gibbs, who wanted to head
the ticket, was apparently the happiest
man In the city last night. He had
been defeated, knew 't, and accepted
the result in a most philosophical man
ner. He sat with a party of friends
some of them his political opponents—
in the lobby at the Merchants' last
night and admitted that he was disap
pointed, but not surprised. He had an
ambition to head the Republican-state
ticket this year, but failing, he said he
was going to see the convention
through, and then go home and work
for the ticket as hard as hp knew how.
Some one in the party suggested that
if Van Sant had not turned his
strength over to Clapp that he (Gibbs)
would have been a formidable factor
in the race, but Mr. Gibbs did not re-
Ply-
The Ramsey county delegation met
at the Windsor last evening and dis
cussed matters informally. The dele
gation will probably meet to-day and
arrange matters that are necessary be
fore the convention—the election of a
chairman, etc. The question of a can
didate for lieutenant governor was
I broached in an informal fashion and it
i waa conceded that Ramsey county, in
view of the gallant fight that had been
made for Clough should have a voice
in the selection of this candidate. There
was only one name mentioned—that of
John L. Gibbs. The Ramsey county
people have not forgotten the good
work done by Gibbs on the capitol
question, and somebody said "Let's go
and see Gibbs." A defegation called on
the defeated candidate for governor at
the Merchants and had a conference.
"Would you accept a nomination for
lieutenant governor," "was-asked.
After a moment's hesitation Mr.
Gibbs feplied, "I do not see how I
could refuse."
If Gibbs should be nominated for
lieutenant governor) the logical con
clusion Is that the convention will go
outside the First district for an at
torney general. If so, good bye to
Child's hopes. W. B. Douglas, who
hails from Clay county, Is the most
promising candidate, lit sttch an event,
unless the counties that are pledged to
Childs —such as Rampey, for instance
are strong enough to nominate on the
first ballot. The Ranjsey county dele
gation Is a bit worried aa to what con
stitutes an Instruction to vote for cer
tain candidates. If t they can, with
honor, hedge after the flrat ballot, and
go to other candidates the attorney
general will come from the northern
part of the state —always supposing
that Gibbs, their candidate for lieuten
ant governor, is nominated.
** * '
One of the shrewdest observers of
Republican politics In the state, who
has held office for so many years that
to miss his name from the state pay
roll would suggest death, said to a re
porter for the G 1 o\& Jast night that
the state at large is- anxious to honor
Gibbs with the second place on the
ticket. He Is strong;, not only in the
country districts, but Jp the cities. But
his nomination would? mean that the
First district must 3U|render some of
the honors to the upper part of the
state. 1
It !b deemed Important among some
of the leading politicians that .the
northern part of the state be recog
nized at this time. The defeat of Con-
gressman Towne depends largely upon
the action of the Republican conven
tion in the distribution of honors so
far as the nominations are concerned.
Towne seems to be without friends,
so far as the present gathering is
concerned. One man, who said he was
one of a party to raise $200 to assist In
Towne's election last time said he
would be willing to assist in raising
three times that amount to procure
his defeat this year. The Up country
Republicans, for that reason alone are
anxious to see a strong candidate for a
state office—such as Douglas is said to
be—named at the convention.
• • •
To-day the delegates will begin to
come in crowds. All the candidates
have quarters at the Windsor and.the
battle will be fought out on Col. Mon
fort's canvas covered floors before the
convention meets. In anticipation of
the crowds the Windsor bar has been
doubled In size and the cabstands and
messenger offices of the city will be
brought within convenient distance
for the occasion.
With the returns as received from
Hennepin and other counties yesterday
and last night, it looks as though Gov.
Clough would have over 700 delegates
on the floor of the state convention to
morrow on the first ballot. This opinion
i 3 borne out by the following figures
showing the tendencies of the delega
tlons as reported up to this time.

PRICE TWO CENTS— \£Z Scum
WRfI^GLED ALL DAY
RAMSEY COUNTY'S REPUBLICANS
HAVE A VEKY LIVELY CON
VENTION.
CLOUGH MEN CONTROLLED IT.
AND THEY TIED, BOUND AND
GAGGED THE DELEGATES FOR
CLAPP.
CLAUSEN IN THE BACKGROUND
Managed to Break Into the State
Convention—A Fight That Cauaed
Hard Feelings.
Clausen got there.
And it was on this the hottest fight
of the convention turned.
Gov. Clough got 71 delegates in
structed in his interest.
But so did Attorney General Childs.
And this was the only spot In the
road where the machine slipped a cog.
It was the best organized, most mer
ciless majority that ever found a mi
nority tame enough to stand the dis
cipline administered.
Eli Warner triumphed.
So did editors Wheelock and Thomp
son.
And there was some almighty plain
talk indulged In.
But the talkees had nerved them
selves to go against even the cutting
' ji.C.CMt/se/t
Director General of the Convention.
tongue of Henry A. Castle. Hence no
one else could even ruffle their feath
ers.
Undoubtedly the sorest group of men
who ever left a Republican convention
in Minnesota walked out of Market
hall last evening at 6 o'clock.
And they went out after the most
keenly contested fight any man ever
saw, in Ramsey county at least. It
had been to a finish, and while some
of the contestants had weakened and
asked for quarter, none was given.
Of course, Attorney General Chllds
was not on the Clough slate; but It
was only by grace of Dar Reese that
even this concession was made.
"Five of us refuse to stultify our
selves by voting," said sturdy John
F. Hilscher, of the Eleventh ward, on
the last roil call.
His desperate protest was called
forth by the arbitrary refusal of the
majority to recognize that the 110
"antls" had any rights at all.
And Fred Bryant will to-day tender
his resignation of the county central
committee. He is sick, sick, sick. A
Clough man will replace him.
Bryant may have had all the books
and papers of the organization, but the
other fellows had the votes on a show
down.
And how they did use them! No man
was too good or strong to be thrown
down. Gray hairs cut no Ice, if they
adorned the head of a Clapp supporter.
If you don't help the marching you
go under the wheels, was the rule.
It must be said for the boys, though
—and the Big Four are all boys—that
they let everybody understand what
they were out to do. Their doing of
it was merciless, but all the scenes
were enacted In the open, so far as the
convention Is concerned.
Eli Warner acted the part of field
commander on the floor. Senator i
Sheehan had trained for the work of
chairman, and he was beautiful. If the j
term can be applied to the discharge !
of an ugly job. Fred Sohiffmann, the j
Little Giant of the Fourth, made every j
Z)a/-/</J tfreje.
Leader of the Big Four.
Clough retainer understand that no
weakening would be tolerated. Dar
Reese discharged the heavy, oratorical
artillery, and never grew tired. A. C.
Clausen might have figured in the com
bination as the major general of the
whole outfit. He sat on the rear of the
platform and was alluded to a hundred
times as "the man behind you," but
he only set his teeth—and determined
to go to the state convention. There
were numerous assistants, but these
were the masters.
Their work Is done and their point Is
gained, for the time being. Still there
be men who say that yesterday's con
vention will make David M. Clough the
weakest man the Republicans could
nominate. Certain It Is that Republi
cans who have attended many conven
tions said as much to the Globe re
porter. Expressions llkj> those, uttcn d
In chagrin, are, of. course, to be dii~
I
counted; but no one will seek to deny**
that a formidable bolt was only avoldv
ed yesterday by most strenuous ef-<
forts on the part of Republicans who"
know the inflexible discipline that la*
always applied to Republican recalci
trants.
Nothing was unanimous. When sud»
den silence did not prevail in the min-l
ority group, there was thunderous ex-*
pression of dissent. Not even the**
suspicion of a love feast crept in for
one' moment. War, war. it was, all
along the line, and votes of thanka
were omitted.
Even at the start courtesy watf
thrown to the winds.
If there be such a thing as cruelty in».
conventions it was exercised. It waa^
not a refined cruelty either. Thd*
Clough delegates first tied the Clapp*
men; then they bound them. Still they; 1
were not satisfied but gaged them,'
But the resistance was desperate. Th^?
Clapp men were determined after they
found that they were beaten so far as*
the fight on Clough was concerned, to*
prevent the convention selecting dele*
gates to the state convention who did!
not hold seats in the county convent
tion. This was aimed mainly at A. O3
Clausen. Of course they wanted to bad
Eli Warner as well, but Clausen wai
the man they wanted frozen out. Dai
Reese and "Doc" Schlffmann knew thli
and on this made their fight. Whei
the fight was all taken out of the ante
Clough men they pleaded. The?
begged of those who held the power t<
have some consideration for the voten
who had elected 110 of the delegates!
But their only answer was a laugh 01
a motion by Ell Warner, throug!
Henry Automatic Johns to lay th«
question on the table. The Clapp mer
went all down the line from the "
will" stand to "Please Mr. won't yoi
.let us?" but it was all of no avail
Clausen was determined to break int<
the state convention, even if his nelghi
bors did turn him down, and break lr
he did with a number of others whos<
cor stituents had determined last Satur*
day night they should remain at homtf
CONVENTION IN DETAIL.
As soon as County Chairman Zollmarll
had called the convention to order>
Dar F. Reese nominated Senator T. DW
Sheehan for temporary chairman. Iri
doing so he landed the senator's Repubi
lican virtues to the skies.
Capt. Castle placed O. IT. Arosln ir||
nomination in the name of the Clapp!
delegates and in the name of men whc*
needed no tag to tell them who theyf
were for; and also in the name of that
magnetic Republican orator who had?
been so wantonly abused, vlllified and
slandered while holding aloft the ban*
ncr of true Republicanism during th*
past four weeks.
F. C. Schlffmann, one of the managers
of the convention, seconded Sheehan'si
nomination. M. R. Tylor performed m
like service for Arosin. Then th^j
fighting began. E. E. McDonald, fon
the Clapp men, moved the men of botbi
factions in all delegations in whicbk
there were contests be allowed half at
vote each.
Col. Lowenstc-In made the point oft
order that the committee on credentials
alone could settle contests.
Ear Reese and Henry Johns madg^
speeches for Lowensteln's point. Sena
tor Ozmun and Mr. McDonald spoka
for the motion, maintaining that mcii
whoso title to seats were attacked could)
not legally vote. The discussloiujrrewj
warm, and the Clapp" men gave evldenca
at once that they meant to contest

The Man Who Defeated Timothy Reardotf.
every move of the majority. W. E.
Bramhall contended that contested
delegates should not be allowed to vote,
or representatives of both sides should
have half a vote each. He cited pre
cedents to support his view.
Chairman Zollman said he had no
right to go behind credentials handed
in, and as the organization would be
merely temporary he would rule Lowen
steln's point of order well taken.
Mr. McDonald appealed from the de
cision, and Zollman allowed all sitting
delegates to vote on the appeal. The
chair was sustained by a vote of 160 to
108.
During the progress of the vote, when
the Seventh ward was reached, Fred
erick Driscoll Sr., challenged the an
nouncement of Mr. Bramhall, "35 votes,
no." Mr. Driscoll asserted with gr^at
vehemence th?t he and the two gentle
men who had received 158 votes on the
Clough ticket in the Third precinct
1 were entitled to half a vote each, and he
insisted on casting half votes to sustain
the chair. Col. Hiler Horton said he
was the only delegate elected In that
precinct, and under the law he had
filled the delegation with three Clapp
men.
Mr. Driscoll would not down, but
reiterated again and again his right to
vote, and coupled with his explanation
the statement that he had been fighting:
the battles of Republicanism for forty
years. He was not counted, however,
in any vote cast by the Seventh beforo
the recess.
When the chair was sustained the roll
was called for temporary chairman,
with the following result:
