AMONG THE LEADERS Glimpses of the Men Prominent at Chicago, LONELINESS OF WILLIAM C. WHITNEY Striking Contrast.With Conditions Four Years Ago. SENATORS HILL AND DANIEL Special From a Staff Correspondent. CHICAGO, July 6.—Mr. Wm. C. Whitney of New York walked through the Palmer House yesterday from David B. Hill's room to the door, passing on his way through a mass of democratic politicians, to nine- tenths of whom his face was as familiar as his reputation in the democratic party was known. Not a man stopped him on the route to take him by the hand. When it is realized that this is the same Mr. Whitney who four years ago was the boss of the democratic convention, and that the majority of these men were those who paid him homage then, the incident becomes significant. It illustrates about as graph- jeally as arything could the estrangement between the factions of the democratic party. “I remember very well, four years ago,” said a veteran of many corventions to me as Mr. Whitney passed, “sitting with Mr. Whitney in his room at the Richelieu, and hearing him remark, ‘Well, this is the easi- est thing I ever had in politics. I have on- ly to open my door and the votes drop tas It is said that Mr. Whitney feels very keenly the changed cenditions of his status in the democratic party. From being the Warwick of four years ago, the man court- ed by every one, the oracle upon whose dictum the fate of candidates hung, he is now regarded by the rank and file of the party as but little better than an inter- leper, a feeble and squeaky minor chord in the grand chorus of the party's anthem. His rooms at the hotel are practically de- serted, for he is called upon only by a few eastern democrats. When he wants to con- sult the leaders of the silver faction he goes to see them at the Sherman House and the Palmer. He is very affable, not- withstanding, and studiously refrains from showing that he feels there is anything amiss in the party. Mr. Whitney entered the hotel lobby yes- terday and met Senator Blackburn ef Ken- tucky standing in a group of admirers. It was the first time the two big democrats had run across each other in Chicago, und Sena- tor Blackburn advanced, smilingty. “Heilo, Whitney, how are you?” said Sena- tor Blackburn, placing his arm cordially over the New Yorker's shoulder. Then he drew back and added, in a melodramatic manner, ‘O come ye in peace. or some ve in war, or to wed the fair Ellen of bold Lochinvar?” Mr. Whitney seemed embarrassed for a moment, and then passed it off with merely saying, “How are you, Joe?” The crowd appreciated Blackburn's sig- nificant, though joeose, remark, and did not try to conceal their laughter as Mr. Whit- ney moved off. Congressman Richardson of Tennessee approached Col. William A. Sterrett, of Holt will fame, in the lobby, and remarked, “Well, Bill, I understand you are against us silver fellows because we are not the rich man’s party.” “No, that’s not it,” replied Col. Sterrett. “The trouble is you silver feliows are al- ways running with the flying-jinny and shooting-the-chutes crowd in politics, and I don't like that lay-out. The gold men are mighty lonesome in this convention, and wander about in a cheer- less, not to say dazed, condition, depressed by their isolation. John E. Russell of Massachusetts telis this story on himself: “I cntered the dining room,” said Mr. Russell, “and stood for a minute looking about to espy some ac- quaintances at table, when a colored waiter near by remarked in a sympathetic voice, “Yoh seems a long ways from home, bess. Is yoh looking for frien “It occurred to me thet the boy's remark just about sized up our pusition at Chicago,” added Mr. Russell. The delegates will reach Convention Hall by trains on the same route that carried Feople to the world's fair. Passengers wiil not be uncomfortably crowded and there will be seats for all. In the event of late sessions trains will be kept in reaiiness until the convention adjourns. Passengers on the Illinois Central trains will be landed at the Convention Hall within 15 minates after leaving Randolph street. ‘To accom- plish these results the company will have ready for use on Tuesday morning 180 cars, having a seating capacity of 12,000. Trains will run at intervals of two and one-half minutes, and there will be but six cars to a train instead of seven and eight, as during the fair. The two and one-half minute schedule can be reduced at any time should occasion require to one-minute in- tervals. This change can be made on fif- teen minutes’ notice. The sched:le will practically be the same as during the world’s fair and will be in effect commenc- ing Tueslay morning and during the con- tinuation of the convention. The silver people are full of ani- mosity for the delegation of gold mis- sionaries who have come to Chicago to forward the gold propaganda. They seem to feel the presence of the gold minority as an unwarranted intrusion upon the majority. The eastern democrats take the position that their free silver brethren are dissenters from true democracy, end that always arouses a storm of prorest. An ineident occurred in the Palmer House lobby to illustrate this: One dele- gate, who wore an Indiana badge, made a fierce verbal assault upon a group of gold men, of which Russell of Massa- chusetts was the central figure, illustrat- ing the feeiing entertained by a part of the silver men. “You people are disorgan- izers, disrupters, belters,” he exclaimed hotly. “The democratic party is. for free silver: silver is the only !ssue on which it can possibly win in this campaign. You are trying to undermine yg ard take away from us our enly possible chance of suc- cess. The financial issue is the only issue in this campaign. The republican party is for gold, and the democratic party for silver. You had better go where you be- lorg.” = One cf the most striking instances of the fratricidal condition existing within the Gemocratic party at Chicago, this war of brother against brother,» is shown in the cese of Senator Hill and Senator Daniel. Last night Senator Daniel came into a room at the Palmer House, where Sena- tor Hil happened to be with a number of other politicians. “Daniel,” remarked one of the party, “I am reminded of this time fcur years ago in this town when at % o'clock one morning you arose in the demccratic convention to second’ the nom- ination of David B. Hill for the presidency. Every man here recalls the speech you made, the interruptions of the Cleveland clacque that finally grew so bad you were forced to step, causing Bourke Cockran to clamber into a chair and threaten to lead THE OFFICIAL WEATHER.

For two- thirds of its length it is packed all day and half the night with a jolly, et jusias- tic crowd of men, pushing, perspiring, cheering, as they pass in and out of the various free silver headquarters. At one end of the hall glitte the legend “sound money headquarters picked out in in- cendescent electric Hghts. It shines over a door leading into a spacious apartment, vacent, save for an array of empty chairs and a desk, behind which sits one lone individual. The silence of the cham- ber 1s. broken. only by an occasional shout from the free silver crowd fur- ther up the hall that awakens the echoes in the room and causes the lone individual to start as though dis- turbed in the midst of a trance. This is a fair representation of the proportion of the gold and silver wings of the party here. There are some mighty mean men in this town. Yesterday there was a blind man who had a stand of badges for sale near one of the big hotels. His badges were spread out on a big board, and he called out his wares in lusty tones; but no one seemed to buy of him. When the sun went down he was still crying his goods, but his voice was husky and his tone dis- couraged. Then a sympathetic visitor went up to the blind man and asked him how he expected to sell McKinley badges at a democratic conventicn. Some enterprising Chicago merchant had worked off his old horse stock of McKinley badges on the blind man. One of the figures before the convention who 1s rapidly coming into more promi- nence than it was at first thought he would command in this particular conven- tion is Senator David B. Hill. A few days ago it was deemed that his position as a gold man, accentuated by the fight which the eastern men are making to have him elected temporary chairman, would throw him into the background with the silver faction. Some interesting developments, however, are likely to cluster around Sen- ator Hill. The eastern democrats are de- termined to gmake him temporary chair- man, if st can be done, and they have a well understood purpose behind their in- tention. In order to make him more acceptable to the silver men, the eastern democrats have caused wide circulation to be given to a letter which Senator Hill wrote to the At- lanta Constitution in 18%. In that letter Senator Hill said in particular: “I am in favor of bimetallism as the is- sue of the future. We should seek to keep that issue to the front; we should not strive for temporary success or compro- mise. We should be for free coinage under an international agreement, if it be pos- sible to procure one, and for which every exertion should be made, and, if not pos- sible, then for independent bimetallism. This is the great goal for which we should strive. If it cannot be done at once, our friends must not be impatient. The people must be educated. The unexpected action of India and the general sentiment of the moneyed classes conspire against us at this time. I do not believe in the Bland bill, or any other measure which guarantees any- thing less than an unrestricted coinage for gold and silver alike, as pledged in the democratic national platform. Let us pre- pare, not for present victory, but for a victory upon that issue tn 1893,” This 1s used to reconeile Senator Hill to the silver men as being favorable to silver and not hcstile. The object of the eastern demccrats in making Senator Hill tempo- rary chairman is to try to inoculate the conventi¢n with the spirit of democracy from the outset. “I am a democrat” is the well-known motto of the great New York- er, and the eastern men would like those words to constantly resound in the ears of the delegates. It is a motto to conjure with, they think, and to keep the conven- tion from running off at a tangent and up- on lines.leading away, as the gold men. think, from the old-time democracy. Senator Hill did not attend the sound money meeting in the Auditorium Saturday night. It was not deemed wise that he should affiliate in such consgicuous manner with the gold men, as it would certainly give offense to the silver people and inter- fere with the plans they are maturing to make him temporary chairman, Mr. Don M. Dickinson has made a strong fight for the gold delegatioh from Michi- gan, and has effected a compromise with the silver managers of the convention, It was decided to patch up existing differ- ences by permitting the gold delegates to be seated by the national committee. The silver majority in the convention will allow this delegation to remain seated and per- mit the members ta vote against the free coinage plank in the platform, provided the delegation named will vote solidly for the presidential candidate whom the silver con- testants select as their,choice. It took con- siderable persuasion and perspiration to ac- complish this compromise, but the Bland men put in several hours on it, with the result of < favorable ‘report to headquar- ters. The Bland ;people expect to get the Michigan vote. As the delegates begin to arrive there are very ominous muetterings against Teller. This is especially;the,gase with the south- ern delegates, and it is not confined to the advocates of any particular candidate. The objection of these peaple to Teller is that if nominated he canngt, command the full democratic vote ij the south. The old-line democrats are tog, rock-ribbed in their an- tipathy to anything republican, it is claim- ed, to be able to-accept such a brand new dissenter from republicanism as Mr. Teller. Upon this point Congressman Bankhead of Alabama said: “The Alabama delegation, 4s well as most other southern delegations, is coming to this convention with the prim- ary purpose of furthering the free silver cause. It has no candidate to offer the con- vention, and, I believe, will be satisfied to take any candidate who is an able and con- sistent silver man. I have no idea that Alabama will cast any votes for Senator Teller. I do not believe there is any scarc- ity of available timber in the democratic party.” Congressman Swanson of Virginia said: “I think the predominating idea of south- ern democrats generally is that the nom- inee of the party must be a good democrat. The south feels very kindly toward Senator Teller, both because of his attitude on the silver question and the force bi; but this is a democratic convention, and I believe democrats generally look to see a democrat placed in nomination. As to the talk about the populists indorsing Teller in case he is the nominee of this convention that is merely speculation.” Congressman Otey of Virginia said south- ern democrats were here to win, and would support whomsoever the convention named, presuming, of course, that he would be a silver man running on a silver platform. He continued: “It looks very mueh as though the eastern democrats intended to bolt the ticket after the convention, and name a ticket ef their own. I was a great Stevenson man up to last June, when the bimetallic committee met in Washington, but Stevenson's silence that time and his silence since has weakened my kindly feel- ing toward him as a candidate.” Simultaneously with the increased arrival of southern delegates during Sunday there began to crop out an attitude of menace toward Bland. This was due to Governor Altgeld’s espousal of the Bland cause. The southerners are afraid of Altgeld and of anything with which he is associated. They regard his socialistic views with the abhor- rence that might be expected from a race ag conservative as the southern people. Bland at best is not above suspicion of en- tertaining socialistic views in a modified form perhaps, as was demonstrated by the speech he made tn the House at the time of the Coxey invasion of Washington. It is plain to the observer that there is a marked coolimg of enthusiasm for Bland among the southefn d¢jegations in the past twenty-four hours: ItJs even noticeable in the Arkansas contingent, who were in- structed by the state convention for Bland. Some of Bland’s' midnagers are casting about for means of relieving him from Alt- geld’s indorsement. The boom of Gov. Matthews of Indiana is suffering from“naétion and looks very “peaked,” as they swy in the chills-and- fever district of ‘fndfana. The effect of the*In@iana resolutions de- claring flatly agaist! any caucus upon candidatcs has Beenvito make the ultra silver howlers leok with suspicion upon Indiana. Accusaticns::were plentiful that the state was reidy td make a deal with the gold bugs at fhe first oportunity. Sen- ator Stewart was particularly active in circulating this theory and was bitter in his denunciation of Turple, who, he de- clares, has deserted the senatorial junta. ‘The Matthews people are beginning to re- alize that their candidate is not making a Sreat impression on the convention, and that if he is nominated it will be by slow growth, upon the convention, after it is :n session. He will start with the thirty vetes from his own state, and is promised all the votes of Alabama, a majority of those of Georgia, five out of the eight in Florida, and a scattering support in Ten- nessee and Mississippi. : They figure that a conservative silver elemcnt will develop in the convention, which will finally control the silver vote az. v.ill come to Matthews after the Boles and Bland forces lock horns until they are tired. N. O. M. READY TO ANSWER} 4 Wonderful Friedicine. Street Railway Assembly to Issue a Statement. THE METROPOLITAN TROUBLES More Letters of Protest Received From Congressmen. WILL BE REMEMBERED The executive board of the Street Rail- way Assembly were today engaged in pre- paring a statement to the public in reply to that from the directors of the Metro- Politan Street Railway Company, and printed exclusively in The Star of Sat- urday, but would not, they said, have it ready for publication until tomorrow. The reply will, it is understood, go much Into details and will not only deny that the members of the executive board and the other discharged men were agitators in the sense that they were trying to ex- cite discontent among their fellow em- ployes to the injury of the company, but will, it is stated, proncunce the charges made in the statement of the board of directors to be false in every particular. Mr. F. M. Dent, chairman of the board, sald this morning that he and his col- leagues were seriously contemplating the retention of a lawyer to go into court and see if the directors of the railroad com- pany cannot be prosecuted for bel for having made statements which are not only, as they claim, untrue, but if ol- lowed to remain uncontradicted were cal- culated to do those to whom they refer serious injury. Mr. Dent called attention to the fact that it has always been the boast of the Metropolitan company heretofore thai they never condemned a man without giving him an opportunity to mect his accuser and defend himself, and added that the company had suddenly cnanged front and condemned unheard thirteen of their for- mer cmployes, each of whom has been highly commended by one or another of the company’s highest officials for faith- fulness and efficiency in the line of duty, and this notwithstanding the locked-out men have solicited an opportunity to meet the directors and explain to them that they, the discharged men, have been mis- represented. General Secretary-Treasurer John W. Hayes of the general executive board of the Knights of Labor, who has been help- ing the local assembly in their present fight against the Metropolitan Railroad Company, is sill In the west, but is ex- pected to return to Washington in a day or two, and the inauguration then of a very warm campaign against the road is looked for. To Be Remembered. Many prominent members of the K. of L. who have called on the discharged men at their headquarters have expressed the cpinion that the reason none of the letters from Congressmen in various parts of the country have seemingly produced any soft- ening effect on the hearts of President Fhillips and his directors is because the railroad officials have an idea that before Congress meets in December the present trouble will have been forgotten by the Congressmen, Mr. C. A. French of the general execu- tive board of the K. of L. said today that if such was the {dea of the Metropolitan People they might as well dismiss the theught, for they would find that the K. of L. do not forget an injury to any mem- bers of their order in so short a time, and that unlecs the matters now at issue be- tween the company and the discharged men are speedily settled in a manner de- sired by the latter, the general officers of the K. of L., acting for the entire mem- bership, will fight the Metropolitan com- pany before Congress at its next session in @ way such as it has never been fought before. Meanwhile, letters from members of both houses of Congress continue to reach Mr. Hayes, each letter being a duplicate of one sent to President Phillips. More Lette: One of the most earnest letters yet re- ceived arrived this morning from Repre- sentative Sayers of Texas, who, during the period that Judge Crisp was Speaker of the House, was chairman of the commit- tee on appropriations. Mr. Sayers’ letter was from Bastrop, Tex., and was as fol- lows: “Referring to the differences existing be- tween the Metropolitan Railroad Company and some of its employes, I beg leave to ask that such differences be arranged as speedily as possible on a basis satisfactory to both, parties. “If it be true, as is asserted, that the ob- jection of the company rests upon the fact that the discharged men are members of a labor organization, then such objection is entirely untenable and should be immedi- ately abandoned. “Why should not labor, as well as capi- tal, be permitted to organize for its protec- tion against the wrong doing of the em- ployer and for the promotion of the wel- fare of its membership along legislative lines? No reasorable or patriotic man can or will deny the right, justice or necessity of such associations in these times of greed for large and rapid gains. “Perhaps another reason for the dis- charge of these men may be in the fact. as stated in The Evening Star, that the: opposed certain legislation that was ai- tempted in behalf of the company during the late session of the present Congress. If so, it is as untenable as the former. They are citizens of the District of Colum- bia, and as citizens are entitled to express and to urge their opinions in every proper way; and, in my opinion, it would not have been at all improper for them to appear befere 2 committee of Congress or a mem- ber of Congress and present their views touching any subject under consideration. “As a member of Congress I have always been glad to receive expressions of opin- ions from any and all classes of our citi- zens, touching matters of legislation, and in my judgment they should be encouraged rather than discouraged to give the com- Mittees of Congress the benefit of such opinions as they may entertain. “Congress will thus be the better en- ahled to legislate wisely and for the bene- fit of the entire people, I therefore do most earnestly hope that the company will not hesitate to immediately seek an oppor- tunity to settle the difference existing be- tween itself and its employes, so that the latter may return to the discharge of their duties in the full consciousness that they will be fairly and fully paid for their labor, and so long as they do good, their right to remain will be entirely secure.” In a personal letter to Mr. Hayes, Mr. Sayers said: “I have just received your circular re- specting the difference between the Metro- politan Railway Company and its em- ployes, and do not hesitate to say that my sympathy is entirely with the latter. You will find herewith a letter to the president of the company, which you will please de- liver as directed. From Senator Thurston, at Omaha, the following were received, the first being a aot 2 aes: and stated: “T have lay written and mail letter to Mr. Phillips, president otnthie Metropolitan street railroad of Washington, @ copy of which I herewith inclose. This is all I feel justified in saying, because I am not in possession of the facts showing the Merits of the case, and I do not like to prejudice in a matter of this kind.” The letter to Mr. Phillips was this: “I am advised that certain employes of your company have been dismissed from its service because of their membership in. the order of the Knights of Labor. “I have no desire to interfere in any way in the private affairs of your company, but I sincerely trust that the representations made to me are not justified by the facts. “Your company has been chartered by Congress and necessarily looks to Congress for protection in the continuance of the valuable privileges of your grant.

If such is the position taken by your company, I feel in duty bound to register my protest against it “I believe that the labor forces of this country have the same right to organize for self-support and protection as have the stockholders of a corporation to combine their money in any general enterprise, and unless the members of such a labor organ zation refuse to perform in a satisfactory manner their assigned duties or to comply with the reasonable regulations of th employer, they should not be disciplined or punished on account of belonging to any crganization.”” In a communication to Mr. Phillips, from Saginaw, Mich., Representative W. S. Lin- ton, the A. A. leader in the House, wrote: “I am in receipt of advices from Wash- ington, stating that your company has dis- missed from its services all officers of the local assembly, because of their member- ship in the order of the Knights of Labor. “You may think that I should not attempt to criticise or interfere in this matter, but nevertheless I must protest against’ dis- charges of your employes, owing to their membership in any labor organization as the Knights of Labor and other similar bodies ave done much and will accomplish sull more in securing rights for American labor.” —— SENTENCED TO DEATH. Thornton Alexander to Pay Penalty for Murder, Thornton Alexander, alias Punk Burrell, colored, who killed Quincy Mackel, a young negro, by stabbing him on the Anacostia bridge the evening of the 11th of last April, and who was convicted of murder the 27th &f the following month, was sentenced by Judge Cole today to be hanged Friday, the 2ith of next November. ‘The men, accompanied by several friends, met on the bridge about 9 o'clock on th: evening in question. They had been drink- ‘ing, and a quarrel soon arose between them, Alexander and Mackel becoming involved in an altercation. They were separated, and Mackel walked off some distance. Al- exander followed him and stabbed him in the heart. In asking for a new trial, Mr. Langston of counsel for Alexander based his request mainly on his contention that the verdict was not supported by the evidence, Mr. Langston insisting that no expressed malice hed been shown. Judge Cole, in overruling the motion today, held that it was a case of common law murder at least, and that while the penalty of death might be some- what severe under the circwmstances, yet that is a matter with which the court can- not interfere. Mr. Langsicn then gave notice that he will carry the case to the Court of Appeals, and the judge thereupon sentenced Alex- ander to be hanged within the District jati Friday, the 27th of next November, between the hours of 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. The prison- er, who is said to be but twenty-one years of age, heard his doom without emotion, having nothing to say. It is understood that if the Court of Appeals sustains the conviction, the President will be asked to commute the death penalty to life impris- onment. the ee Injury to Dr. Eppley. Mr. J. K.-Eppley, a druggist at the cor- ner of 14th and Stoughton streets, was painfully, but not dangerously, injured while “shooting the chute” yesterday at River View, by being thrown from the rapidly descending boat. Mr. Eppley struck on his back, and for a time it wos thought he was hurt internally, but today the indications are that he was not. Im- mediately after the accident he was carried on the Pentz and made as comfortable «s possible, and upon reaching the city was sent home ing carriage. 3 ——— FINANCIAL.
