HIS BOOM NOW LOOKS FORMIDABLE Warner May Be Put Forward as a Candidate by Ohio. POPULISTS FOR TELLER That this is an off year for the political leaders was forcibly ‘Illustrated in some of the state conventions held yesterday, as it has been throughout the year in both par- ties. The indorsement by the Texas con- vention of Bland is one of the surprises, and shows that the people are in the saddle, and that the most trusted leaders get run over if they are in the way of the crowd. ‘Less than a month ago there was an in- formal conference here of the Texas repre- scntatives in Congress, at which it was agreed that these leaders of the silver democracy in Texas would do all in their pewer to push the boom for Boies. Three or four of the members were interviewed at the time and pronounced themselves heartily for Boles. There seemed to be no doubt that they knew what they were do- ing. Despite the opposition of ex-Governor Hogg, John H. Reagan and many others Bland was almost unanimously indorsed. Representative Batley, who spoke in the interest of the resolutions for Bland, was thought to have been one of the Texas men who, a few weeks ago, agreed that Boles sheuld be the choice of Texas. This action of Texas gives the Bland boom a new impetus, and makes it begin to look mighty formidable. Missouri, Arkan- sas and Te: and two or three territories have indorsed the Missourian. Arkansas Was another state where the leaders got in the way of the will of the people, and were walked over. Senator Jones, for instance, wes known to be strongly opposed to Bland. He was for Teller or Boies. He and Sena- tor Berry fought the resolutions for Bland in the Arkansas cenvention, but they were cutvoted, and “Silver Dick” instructed for. G Campbell Turned Down. In the Ohio conventicn the former idol of the party, Governor Campbell, was virtual- ly ignored, and a new set of men brought to the front. L. E. Holden, one of the delegates-at- large from Ohio, is the editor of the Plain Dealer, which has been preaching silver for vears. Mr. Holden attended the silver conference here in January last, and made a speech. He refused at that time to desert the democratic party until it was found that it opposed silver. In the event of that, he pledged’ himself to go with the new sil ver party. Gen. Warner's Prominence. Gen. A. J. Warner's participation in the Chio democratic convention as permanent Presiding officer has: excited considerable ccmment here. Gen. Warner has been a democrat for years, but he openly and fear- lessly left the party here last January when he presided over the silver confer- ence which launched the American silver organization. Although it was supposed at that time that he had merely severed his connection with the party temporarily, or to await the action of the convention at Chicago, what he said and did were con- sidered ample proofs that he had left the party. He went even further than Senator Tiliman, who asserted that he would bolt the convention at Chicago if it declared for gold. Gen. Warner bolted in advance, and indirectly said that he would go back to the party if it declared for silver. Gen. Warner was the leading spirit in the or- ganization of the silver party. He is to- day the chairman of the finsnce committee of the party, and has long been looked upon as the prime mover in all that is done, although Dr. Moit is the chairman of the national committee. Since the party was launched Gen. Warner has frequently been to Washington to attend meetings of ccmmittees and conferences of the silver men of independent persuasion. He went through the west and raised money with which to carry on the headquarters here. In every way he has been-regarded as the leader of the new party. The Populist Vote. When here attending the January con- ference, Gen. Warner declared to a Star reporter that the “fight would be won” should the silver men control at Chicago. During the last few months he jas stated, in interviews, that the nomination of a sil. ver man at Chicago would draw to the sup- port of the party the silver party and pop- ulist vote. His latest position makes it al- most certain that he will use his influence to have the silver party strength thrown to the democratic nominee. Right here, how- ever, arises the interesting question, can he do it? The men whom. he put in charge of the silver headquarters here and who are directing the movement in every state are not pledg.ng their loyalty to whatever silver man is nominated at Chicago. They are insisting on the democrats nominating the man they pick out. Dr. Mott, for in- stance, recently issued an address, declar- ing that the party would have to be weil pleased with the nominees before {t would sanction the nomination. Dr. Mott's ut- terances, however, were not construed by politicians just as they read. They were construed as a kind of “bluff,” and were so sized up by the silver democrats. Dr. Mott and the other officials of the party here want to force the nomination of Teller, and threaten to become obstreperous if this is not done. The populists and silver re- publicans are playing the same game. Gen. Warner’s Influence. Having Identified himself with the various silver elements six months ago, General Warner will exert a strong influence at Chi- cago in the welding together of the silver forces. As a democrat who had the courage to leave his party for the sake of silver, his opinion will be highly respected by the contending silver men at Chicago. General Warner has been quoted as in favor of Teller, and it would not be surprising to see him exert himself in that direction. Failing in that, it ts said that his next choice would probably be Bland. At the same time, with a multiplicity of compli- cations, it is not impossible that General Warner may be turned to as the man the convention wants, and it is hinted that the prominence given him by the Ohio demo- rats was not without a motive of this kind in view. General Warner and John R. Mc- Lean have worked harmontously together, and what more natural than that Mr. Mc- Lean should lead the Ohio men in a dash for the nomination of General Warner? It might be a repetition, it Is said, of the Gar- field nomination. Such a project has be- fore been intimated here, and the name of General Warner was connected with it. He is, it Is urged, extreme enough to suit the extremists of every party. He 1s almost idolized in the west, where he has been working for years in the cause of the white metal. He was, and is, president of the American Bimetallic League, and has nu- merous mementos of the affection felt for him by western silver republicans. All these things are coming to the minds of silver men today, since the convention of yesterday, when Gen. Warner's speech was loudly applauded at quick intervals. Many things are being said about the rugged old Ohioan, and in the present condition of af- fairs nobody knows what will be done at Chicago, except as to a platform. The Indiana Convention. ‘The election of G. V. Menzies as a dele- gate-at-large from Indiana 1s curiously rée- garded by thé democrats of an analytical turn of mind. Mr. Menzies Is 4 strong ad- vocate of the gold standard, although he fs willing to obey the instructions of his state convention. His election, which was de- sired by Gov. Matthews, is construed as meaning elther of two things—an effort to Keep the gold standard men of the state in line for the national ticket or the bidding for the gold standard support at Chicago by Gov. Matthews. It may be that the silver democrats of Indigna feel that they need all the gold votes they can get this aii, and that the concessions made would be bene- ficial. Gov. Matthews’ shrewd eye, however, may be peeled t6 getting gold votes at Chi- cago. The treatment of ex-Congressman Bynum in Indiana is a rather sad indication that the man who does not absolutely conform to the wishes of the masses is in danger of being humiliated and set aside forever or for many years.

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTIONS Ohio, Indiana, Texas and New York Plat- forms, New York Declares for Gold and Sil- ver and the Rest Demand Free Coinage of Silver. The New York demo¢rats concluded their convention at Saratoga yesterday by adopt- ing as a platform a strong appeal to the party at large not to risk disruption, yet declaring for gold and silyer as the legal money of the the land, named the follow- ing delegates and alternates-at-large to at- tend the national demecratic convention: Delegates—David B. Hill, Edward Mur- phy, Roswell P. Flower and Frederick R. Coudert. Alternates—Robert=Earl, 8. M. Wood, Jacob A. Cantor’and William Purcell. A resolution expressing sympathy with the insurgents in Cuba was introduced by Congressman Sulzer and adopted. The Indiana democratic convention had a wild scene of disorder when ex-Congress- man Bynum attempted to parley with the overwhelming silver majority. Senator Turpie made a free silver speech and when he was through Mr. Bynum's friends demanded that he be heard. While dozens of delegates were endeavoring to attract attention, the chair announced that roll call would be begun for the nomina- tion of governor. The roll call could not be proceeded with, and the conyention was in a state of chaos. The chairman ordered two sergeants-at- arms to clear the aisles. They were pro- ceeding to do so when they were opposed by the police. Here Chairman Bell said if it was the Will of the convention that Mr. Bynum be heard, he had no volce-against him. The convention, by a two-thirds vote, decided to hear Mr. Bynum, and he accordingly ad- dressed the convention in behalf of gold. The names of Penjamin F.' Shively and Robert F. Shankley were proposed for governor. Mr. Shankley arose and said he was not a candida@® and seconded the nomination of Mr. Shively. Mr. Bynum named George W. Cooper for governor, but on a roll call Shively was nominated. John C. Lawler was named for lieutenant governor. The Ohio democrats after choosing as delegates-at-large John R. McLean, Allen W. Thurman, L. E, Holden and E. B. Fin- ley, selected as alternates J. S. Tech- heimer, ‘T. E. Powell, A. C. Cable and H. H. Porter. For secretary of state the names of Arthur A. Brown of Cincinnatl, 8. S. Yoder of Lima and Chilton A. White of Georgetown, were presented, the ballot resulting: Brown, 72; Yoder, 236; White, 841. White was declared the nominee, af- ter much disorder. E. J. Blandin of Cleve- land was nominated for judge of the su- preme court. In Texas the democrats after instructing for Bland chose delegates as follows: Geo. Clark, Rufus Hardy, EB. S. Connor, A. L. Matlock; alternates, F. F. Anthony, C. M. Rodgers, W. L. Crawford, D. C. Giddings. The electors at large were sciected and district delegates were elected. ————+e2- ____ Transfers of Real Estate.

HANNA’S ASSISTANTS Interest in Machine Circles as to Their Selection. BOSSES WERE ALL ANTI-N'KINLEY Difficulty as to Platt and Quay Especially. MAY TAKE NEW MEN ee Chairman Hanna has beeh empowered by resolution to select the members of the executive committee to assist him in the ecnduct of the national campaign. These men may or may not be members of the national committee. The announcement of the list is awaited with interest in machine circles. Men may be made or unmade by being taken or rejected for this work. It is of the greatest moment for a politician with a “pull” and a following to have a hand in it. It will increase his authority at home most materially. Not Likely to Select Platt. Will Mr. Platt be on the list? It is con- sidered doubtful. Mr. Platt went to an extreme in his ante-convention fight on Mr. McKinley. He- indulged in some se- vere personalities, and attacked both Mr. McKinley and Mr. Hanna. He uttered that phrase which has since been used by the democrats, describing Mr. McKinley as “‘a mortgaged man.” Mr. Hanna is reported as having been deeply offended at that, and as remembering It against Mr. Platt. It is not thought likely, therefore, that Mr. Han- na will care to have Mr. Platt at his coun- cil table. But Mr. Platt, notwithstanding his recent reverses, retains a certain power over the machine at home, and for this reason Mr. Hanna may not think it_pra- Gent to ignore him altogether. New York- ers are watching the developments with some anxiety. The Platt men threaten re- sentment and prophesy disaster if their chief is turned down, while the anti-Platt men will be surprised and much discour- aged if he is not. It promises to be the old Conkling-Platt-Garfield fight in many of its features over again. The Case of Mr. Quay. What is to become of Mr. Quay? There will be nothing to detain him at home. Pennsylvania will need no attention in such a campaign as the one approaching. She ought to give Mr. McKinlcy a rousing majority without tne beating of a drum, the lighting of a torch, the waving of a flag or the employing of a single stumper. Mr. Quay’s talents ought to be available for other localities. Will Mr. Hanna as- sign him to important work anywhere? Mr. Quay at St. Louis acted throughout on anti-McKinley Mnes. Securing a proxy he sat with the national committee in the hearing of some of the contests over seats in the convention and voted against the McKinley people. He likewise kept his own name before the convention, and polled his state for himself. Mr. McKin- ley, it is true, did not need the vote of the state. A majority of the convention recorded for him before Pennsylvania reached. current that For a time a report was during his visit to Canton Mr. Quay received Some assurances from Mr. McKinley highly favorable to him- self. This is now denied on excellent au- thcrity. Mr. McKinley, it is asserted, made Mr. Quay no promises of any kind. Clarkson and New. Colonel Clarkson, anothér member of the old coterie, is in poor health, and it is not expected that he would be able with an opportunity to take a very active part in the fight. It is not believed, however, that he will be pressed to exert himself. He did the McKinley cause no harm in the primaries, but he trained with the opposition and echoed many of the revere things that Mr. Platt said. John C. New was intensely anti-McKin- ley, and probably the Indiana adviser will be a man of the Fairbanks wing of the party. New Men Likely. The list is a long one, and shows that in nearly every instance the established bosses were oposed to the Ohio candidate. It is considered likely, therefore, that Mr. Hanna, in picking his confidential advisers, will call new men to the front, and those upon whom he feels he can implicitly rely. It is not suggested that he intends to make any war on the old bosses—that would be Poor politics—but it is claimed that he will be justified in not placing them where they could make further war on him or “hold him up" for favors. ——_—__-e--_____ Hotel Arrivals.

GRAND ARMY MEN PROTEST. Criticising the Action of the Cadets in Going to Richmond. At a meeting last evening of Burnside Post, No. 8, Grand Army of the Potomac, resolutions were adopted as follows: Whereas there is to be laid, on the 30th instant, the corner stone of a mon- ument to Jefferson Davis, who was an arch enemy of this country and of man- kind, whose teaching and example influ- enced many to disregard their sacred oaths of allegiance to their country, and desert the flag they had swecrn to uphold and pro- tect; and “Whereas both Dr. Lane and the com- mittee on High and Normal schools were not averse to loaning the rifles, and eyen favored the trip of the High School Cadets to attend the ceremonies incident to lay- ing the corner stone referred to; and ‘Whereas Major Ross, in charge of mil- itary instruction in the public schools, is reporied to have said: “It is an exceeding- ly unfortunate occurrence all around, and beth [ and the cadets are very sorry we cannot obtain the guns:” Therefore, “Be it resolved by the members of Burn- side Post, No. 8, Department of the Poto- mac, G. A. R., now and here present, That we denounce and condemn the evident lack of loyaty to the nation oa the part of these public officials; and “That we are amazed at the apparent thoughtlessness of the High School Ca- dets, and that they have read the history of their country to so little purpose; “That a copy of these resolutions be fur- nished the three daily papers of the city, the District Commissioners, the chairman of the board of school trustees, the princi- pal of the High School and school super- intendent.” A_member of the schi board committee on Normal and High schools said this after- neon to a Star reporter that there has ap- parently been considerable misapprehen- sion on the part of the public as to the attitude of the school authorities in this matter. Wher. the boys first applied to the committee for permission to use the guns of the battalion for the Richmond trip he said the question of the terms of the bond given to the Secretary of War was raised at once, and that it was immediately dis- covered that the request could not be grant- ed, whatever might be the views of the in- dividual members of the committee. There- upon the matter was dropped. No assur- ances were given to the boys that they might have the guns, nor were any prom- ises held out. Dr. Lane, the principal of the Central School, left last night on a vacation trip. He stated distinctly to a Star reporter the day the provisional battalion was formed at his school that under no circumstances would he allow a gun to be taken from the High School armories, nor would he permit even the side arms to be used. ——— Megitimate Children. Judge Kimball teok occasion to state this afternoon in the Police Court that the laws of the District should be amended so as to provide punishment for the fa- thers of illegitimate children. The matter, he said, should be brought to the atten- tion of Congress and a strong effort made to secure the needed relief. The remarks were occasioned by the presence of a young colored woman, who asked that her infant be taken care of, as she was unable to support it. She was unmarried, she said, and had had two children. The baby was turned over to the board of children's guardians. Minister Heard to Return. Mr. Wm. H.
