SPECULATING ON GOLD MEN'S COURSE Orators Chosen to Present the Can- didates. ——_ + STATE OF THE BOOMS CHICAGO, July 9.--Lowering clouds hung over the city early in the day, indicating a break in the perfect weather thus far enjoyed, and suggestive of the gathering of the storm within the national democratic convention hall. The wind had shifted around to the northwest and did not blow from the lake, but the air was still cool and bracing. Again the crowds were in motion toward the convention hall at an early hour, as ng had been set for 10 There was no abatement in the rush and excitement, but practice had per- fected the arrangements for handling the great throng, and it moved through the doorways with little confusion. The band began its program some time before the meeting hour, adding the touch of gaiety to the tension among the convention ele- ments. The program for the day was the plat- form as the order of business, when the question of Presid2nt arose. It was to be a battle of great oratory, with the initial appearance of such* figures as Senator Hill of New York, Senator Tillman of South Carolina, Jones of Arkansas, Vilas of Wis- consin and Gray Delaware. They are the men who have measured strength for the last year in the United States Senate, and now their cratory was to,be brought before a larger forum. The wild shouts for Hill which have rung continwusly for the last two days promised an ovation for the New York Senator. The picturesque and belligerent Tillman was awaited with interest. He has a voice and manner of speech peculiacly adapted to great popular crowds. The fact that he would follow Hill promised a renewal of that memorable conflict between these two Senators on the floor of the Senate. Aside from these con- spicuous speakers, it was expected that many more short speecaes would be made on the platform. The outlook was for a vote late in the day, probably about 6 o'clock, and then a recess until evening, when the nominating speeches and possibly the balloting will begin. Discontent of the Gold Men. The main interest of the day centered in the action of the gold forces after the platform had been adopted. The rumble of discontent, which had been going on for many days, was gradually reaching its climax. No definite line of action had been agreed on, but individual members of the New York and other eastern delega- tions freely expressed the intention of either quitting the convention hall when the silver platform was adopted or of an- nouncing their purpose not to support the candidate. It had become practically cer- tain that no bolt in a body would occur, as the counsels of Senator Hill and ex-Secre- lary Whitney had prevailed toward con- servative action. Gen. Charles Tracy of Albany, who fur years led the anti-silver forces in the House of Representatives against the Bland silver bills, an- nounces his definite purpose to re- tire as soon as a vote shows that the silver plank is incorporated in the platform, or cise to stale openly in the convention that he must decline to support the presiden- tal ticket. There are others from New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey and Pennsylvania deicgations of the same way of thinking, but in each case, it is an indi- vidual sentiment, lacking in concentrated purpose. Such withdrawals as are likely to occur are not expected to be of that dra- amatic order witnessed when Teller and his assoclates bade good-bye to the chairman of the St. Leuis convention and tearfully retired. Chosen to Nominate. The nomination of candidates is to bring forward another opportunity for great ora- tors. For Bland, the nominating speech will be made by the caustic and virile Vest of Missouri. He has a grace of language which is almost classic, and along with this is a personal association with Bland in Congress, and in the campaigning of Mis- souri, which makes the nominating speech come from ihe heart. Governor Overmyer of Kansas, who will make one of the speeches, seconding Bland’s nomination, has already shown himself to be one of the orators of the gathering. There will be many other speeches representing the sen- liments of the various states loyal to Siand, and all of them will ring for “Silver Dick” and for that inspiring gonfalon of 16 to 1. it has been noted that thus far the name of Bland has not evoked from the con- vention crowd any of the wild demonstra- tions usually marking the mention of the name of a favorite, but with the presen- tation of his name today all of the latent enthusiasm of his edmirers and of the sil- ver hosts promises to find expression in one long, loud wild d2monstration eclipsing the 20-minute outbreak of last night. Senator Turpie will make the nominat- ing speech for Matthews, and although his voice is thin, he has a felicity of expres- sion giving force to his utterances. White of Iowa, who will nominate Boies, is not well known as a convention feature, but it is said his speech will prove one of the surprises of the gathering. Several of the pending speeches are being kept back owing to the uncertainty as to which way some of the states will turn on the first ballot. The Candidates. There is as much uncertainty among the candidates on the eve of balloting as there was at the opening of the convention. It is a significant fact that no figures or esti mates of strength are given by the leadcrs, and it shows what a large element of doubt still exists. Although Bland main- tains his lead, the managers of other can- didates declare positively that Bland 1s far from commanding a majority, and is very far from a two-thirds vote. A new phase of the two-thirds question has arisen by the possible course of the gold element to refrain from voting. In that event, parliamentarians differ as 10 whether the nomination must be made by two-thirds of the delegates present or two- thirds of those voting. It is regarded by acme of the leaders as a critical question. They point out that if silence on the part of the gold men reduces the voting strength to about 600, then 400 would give @ two-thirds vote, and Bland is dangerous- ly near this number. Another element of doubt which Is per- plexing the managers is as to the delivery of the block of gold votes, some 200 or 300 in number. Given to one of the silver can- didates, on the theory of choosing among the least of -several evils, it might prove decisive, and would give to the gold men the advantage of dictating the nomination, Senator Turple and the Matthews mana.

The Bland men are some- what solicitous over the Illinois delesation after the first ballot, for there is an under- current said to be antagonistic to Governor Altgeld, which leans toward leaving Bland on the second ballot. The Teller movement continues to be a still hunt, and its prospects depend largely upon the inability of Bland and other leaders to command the iiecessary nomi- nating strength during the early stages of the battle. The uncertainty is such that there is a recurrence of the talk that Vice President Stevenson will be brought for- ward. Bryan of Nebraska 1s also looming up as a formidable dark horse. Ulinois and Bland. It was emphatically dented by Gov. Alt- geld today that the Illinois delegation was shifting from Bland and flocking to the standard of Vice President Stevenson, “Ii is absolutely false that this delegation is losing faith in Bland,” he satd. It is even stronger for him this morn- ing than ever. It has ro notion of desert- ing him. As to the time it would take to adopt the platform the governor said it would take at least three hours to wind up the dis- cussion. Secretary Bliss of the Illinois delegation said the poll of the delegation this morn- ing stood: Bland, 41; Boies, 4; Stevenson, 3. Harry Donovan, who has been making the fight for Boles in the Illinois delega- tion, said he and the other Boies men in the ‘delegation were gentlemen and demo- crats. “We gracefully bow to the will of the majority and wi:l make no effort to protest against the solid vote being cast for Bland.” When asked if the Illinois delegation ha4 agreed to shift from Bland after the first or second ballot the gevernor replied: “We are here for business and not political play. You can say that I say that the Hlinois delegation will stand by R. P. Bland as long as his name is before the convention. We are not political coquettes. We are democrats and we are for free sil- ver and Bland.” Pennsylvania and Pattison. The Pennsylvania delegation held a cau- cus this morning and decided to vote for ex-Gov. Pattison for the presidential nomi- nation unless he directs that his name be withdrawn. It is understood, however, that no formal nominating speech will be made. The delegation also voted to sup- port the minority report of the committee on resolutions. Chairman Harrity presided at the caucus and William B. Given of Lancaster and C. E. Ingersoll of Philad phia acted as secretaries. The delegation will meet again later in the day. Mississippi Goes to Blackburn. At a meeting of the Mississippi delega- tion today a general understanding was reached that the vote of the state should be cast for Blackburn on the first ballot. Senator Walthall, chairman of the delega- tion, believes that the Mississippi vote will go to Bland after the first ballot. The Bolting Element. There was no apparent change in the situation this morning so far as the eastern gold standard men were concerned. Ex- Postmaster General Bissell of Buffalo, as stated in these dispatches last night, went to Buffalo late yesterday, leaving his al- ternate to vot@for him. He said that he could not stay after the violation of state rights in the unseating of the Michigan gold men to seat men who had no state convention credentials. His personal friend, Den M. Dickinson, was interested in this matter, and his idea was that this was a demonstration of the arbitrary way in which the silver men would run the con- vention. Perry Belmont of New York, Charles Tracey of Albany, Franklin Bartlett and DeLancey Nicoll of New York and several from other states have determined to fol- low a similar course. They will do it, how- ever, in a quiet way, allowing their alter- nates to vote. They all declare it is sim- ply a matter of principle with them. They intend to make no demonstration. Specific inquiries at Maine and Massa- chusetts delegations failed to obtain any names of delegates who would say that they would leave the convention. Both delegations will act as does New York after ihe platform has been voted on, de- ciding in caucus on their action. Delancey Nicoll said this morning: “I have been somewhat misquoted. If the New York delegation take an active part in the convention after the silver platform 1s adopted then I will leave, but if they stay and do not take an active part then I will stay with them.” Gov. Flower, chairman of the New York delegation, said this morning: ‘“‘New York will meet and take some action as to its further part in the convention before nom!- nations begin. ——— For False Pretenses. A young man named Clifford Price, whose mother’ lives on C street, was a prisoner in the Police Court today charged with being a suspicious person. It was charged that he attempted to swindle W. S. Teel, the dealer on Pennsylvania avenue, out of $13.85 worth of underclething. Evi- dence was given to show that Price had the gcods sent C. O. D. to the National Hotel, where he had claimed that he was an Endeevorer from Connecticut awaiting the arrival of friends. From this hotel he went to the Metropolitan, where he regis- tered as ‘““W. W. Welsh.” Robert Ware, a cclored porter, who suspected sometiing wrong, watched Price's movements and caused his arrest. Evidence was given to show that the young man had enjoyed a good reputation, and Detective Beardman told the court of the young man’s arrest on a previous occasion. Judge Kimball will dispose of the case tomorrow. REFUSED TO COMMEND IT: The Administration Ignored by the Platform Committee. It was late yesterday afternoon at Chica- go when the resolutions committee con- cluded the consideration of the platform by sections, and a motion was made and carried authorizing the chairman to report it to the convention as adopted.

Just prior to adjournment Senator Hill of New York created something of a_sen- sation by offering the following resolution: “We commend the honesty, courage and fidelity of the present democratic admin- istration.” In presenting this resolution, Mr. Hill said, as one of the silver men af- terward characterized it, “In his bland and easy way,” that he assumed that the reso- lution would be voted down, but that the minority had concluded to offer it, never- theless, sa as to give the party an oppor- tunity to put itself on record.

The Americans were then con- veyed to Laffan’s Plain in department wagons. The Duke of Connaught, Lord Wolseley and the headquarters staff were on horseback. Nearly 20,00) troops were paraded, and they presented a brilliant spectacle, uniforms trim, neat and well- fitting, accouterments polished to the ut- most, and arms glistening, spotlessly clean. The sham fight commenced soon after the arrival of the Ancients. The troops were under the command of Gens. Swaine and Bengough. After some well-executed ma- neuvers had been carried cut, the whole force marched past the saluting point, where the stars and stripes floated a short distance from the royal standard. In all there were twenty-two regiments of in- fantry, cavalry and artillery on the field. The carriage containing the United States ambassador was drawn up under the royal standard and next to the royal carriage containing the Duchess of Connaught and her two daughters. The march past com- menced at 1 o'clock, Lord Wolseley had Previously introduced Col. Walker to the duchess and the princesses, and then Mr. Bayard and Col. Walker stood by the royal carriage. Lord Wolseley, however, asked Col. Walker to share the salute with him. This 1s a great and unusual honor. Col. Walkef accepted, and stood by the side of Lord Wolseley’s horse. Lord Wolseley, the Duke of Connaught and Col. Walker were the only officers in advance of the royal standard. 9 rhe Bostonians tomorrow will muster at 2:30 p.m. and take up a position on the Thames embankment at 3:15. There they will be received by a guard of honor of twenty, and the officers, and will march to Marlborough House, to be inspected by the Prince of Wales.

YOUTHFUL ELOPERS. William Gordon, Said to Be of Wai ington, Causes a Scandal. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. RICHMOND, Va., July 9.—A peculiar cese has come up before a Henrico county magistrate. A Mrs. Sevink appeared be- fcre him and stated that her fifteen-year- old daughter, Mary Jane Sevink, had elop- ed with a man named William Gordon, who 1s only nineteen years of age. Both are residents of Henrico, although Gordon, who is 2 painter, was formerly of Wagsh- ington, where Mrs. Sevink claims he has a wife and child living at No. 208 N street. She further stated that the couple stole money from her husband. She wanted to have Gordon arrested and to get a permit from the magistrate for her daughter to marry some one else. Gordon’s mother ap- peared before the magistrate claiming that Mrs. Sevink’s statements were false. She said Mary Jane was eighteen years of age; that she had run away three times before, and that she was the mother of a child. The couple have gone to Norfolk, it is thought. —_—-_—__ Wheeled Across Country. SAN FRANCISCO, July 9=—John Le France and Norman DeBaux arrived in this city from New York last night.
