There were many exciting events | and the crowd cheered and yelled to show how the rare sport was enjoyed. There was hardly an hour's respite for ainner before dancing commenced at the Pavilion and a dozen other places. The little bovs and girls danced on the streets, | and few, indeed, were the homes from which the sound of music did not come to | fill the evening air with melody. Itwasa gola might. g In the parade to-morrow Miss Kflorence Schauffle will take the part of the goddess of Monterey. She will be attired in :\} white robe and carry a large golden key | representing the hospitality of the old | capital being extended to the sister cities | of California. Miss Schauflle is a petite brunette, with a face and figure that pe- | culiarly adapts her for her part. | Mrs. E. O. Smith of San Jose has com- | posed a song for the N wughters of the Golden West, which was read by | r Malcolm-Johnson here on the ourth and will be sung to-morrow.

It wasa most toucning scene, and the committee withdrew, leaving Mr. Larkin aloge to his | meditation.

They marched from the old wharf to Ly- ceum Park, where a large crowd awaited their coming, thouzh the sailors were on time with customary precision. The sailors and their officers were in white service suits and made a preity showing, They were accompanied by the flagship’s marine band of seventeen pieces. After reaching the parade ground the vand played and the sailors gave an exhi- bition of battalion drill, riot-drill and physical exercises. In tke afternoan half the town and its visitors packed Alvarado street to witness the parade and tournament of the fire- men. This was an attractive and novel part of the programme. Watsonville was -represented by i fire laddies in btue shirts and caps, with red and white trap- pings and gay badges. Gilroy’s men had open-front blue shirts, the bosoms of which were light red, and they were alio equipped with ornamental leather belts. Whs SanTnsa tean appeared in neat uni- forms and the Monterey men were 1n blue full dress suits, with gold buttons and pretty peaked caps, on which goiden trumpets were emblazoned. The tournament was held under the di- rection of W. E. Parker, chief of the Monterey e department, who devoted himself assiduousiy to the task he had undertaken. From the point of view of a fireman, as well as from that of a specta- ; tor, this feature was a decided success. Two courses of 300 feet each were marked off on Alvarado street. The hook and ladder course was nearer the old custom- house than the hosecart run. At one end & rope was drawn tightly from the tops of opposite telegraph poles. The street was cleared by ushers and then the rival teams ran with their ladder-carts in an exciting dash that ended by some members of the company snatching a ladder from ke | truck as it passed beneath. .~ Hardly had the ladder touched the ‘ground and rested against the rope before Animble fireman ran to the top like an acrobat, amid the shouts of the populace. The bose companies started from oppo- site the celebration committee’s headquar- ters. They bad torun 300 yards, unroll their hose, attach to a hydrant and get a stream of water. In the former contest time was counted from the start to the moment the ladder was reached; the lat- ter ended when water first flashed through the hose nozzle. San Juan and Watsonville were enterea in the book and ladder contest. .San Juan ime, 48 seconds, against Watson- 50 seconds. an Juan team includes: Frank Black, George More, W. Stone, A. M Robert Fiint, Jobn Roach, len, Joe Castro, A. Castro, E. Churchill, C. Stanford, A. Pierce, George Joseph, Edward Pierce, Jog Martine, Joe Meranda, Ben Flint (trainer). Watsonviile had the following team, but its defeat was due no doubt to the ab- sence of Maguns Oxen, who had injured himself at a former contest: Oscar Boub (trainer), Wesley Carr, Thomas Baucaum, Frank Lewis, Chris _ Nichols, Charles Wangaman, Thomas Warren, T. Maitland, A. Devine, Bert Lewis, N. Johnson, L. Sindberg, H. V. Traiton, James Owen, Henry Ritchie, Manuel Romero. The hose team contest was won by terey in 52 seconds against Gilroy and San Juan's 58 4-5 seconds. Kimball of the Gilroy team was too ill to enter, and Vaugban was not in proper condition, to which is attributed the loss of the cham- pionship. The personnel of the first and second teams was as follow: Monterey—W. E. Parker, Chief Fire De- artment; Pidge, trainer; Martin, Berry, oach, Prescott, Harsted, Bronda, Johu- son, Finley, Miiller, Cummings, Vagts, Teres. ; Gilroy—James McElroy, chiet; Gross, Babb, Moore, Johnson, Lili, Troutvetter, Vaughan, Fitzgerald, Schilue, Fairer, Eus- tice, Phelps. Mon- s542-5 Or.J, W. Salinas-and Henry Btofer of Watsonville acted as timers. Sheriff Matthews of Monterey County and G. E. Rea of Gilroy were the judges. The races were for sub- stantial money prizes, The Wild West show was one of the events of the day thatcommenced on time. ‘While the Fire Department races were in yrogress crowds assembled at Lyceum }’ark ana the vaqueros were only too | anxious to commence their work. From the standpoint of the amount of excite- ment furnished, the show was a success, but to the sensitive mind it was some- thing of an exhibition of brutality. The bull fight was simply the torture of a maddened creature, with its borns sawed off. But large numbers of the crowd evi- dently enjoyed the sport, for they cheered. The cali riding and catching the greased pig part of the programme were harmless and amusing. The men had some good runs and tumbles and the animals were not hurt much. Wild West show prizes were awarded as follows: Bucking-horse riding, Charley Wood: bareback riding, J. Cautauga; cow lassoing, Castillo; horse lassoing, R. Sar- gent. Admiral Beardslee tendered a reception to James D. Pbelan, 8. J. Duckworth, S. H. Daniels, F. S. Berry and H. H. Tavlor, who are the active members of the jubilee celebration committee. The ladies were received on the Monadnock. In the even- ing there was a concert by the Philadel- vhia Marine Band, and later a ball at the pavilion, both of which entertainments were well attended.

But a Minority of the Committee WIll Present the Name of Sen- ator Daniel of Virginia. CHICAGO, IrL., July 6.—The National Committee beginning its meeting at noon to-d acted its business at a single session, disposing of all the contests for seats and voting, to 23 to report the name of Senator David B. Hill of New York for temporary chairman of the Na- tional Convention. There was a test vote in the commattee showing the relative gold and silver strength of the organization. The silver showing was made by the presence of sev- eral proxies of members of the committee who would have voted for Hill had they been present. There were also one or two members of the committee who, within | the past few days, had ennounced the | transierof their allegiunce from gold to silver, notably J. L. Norris of the District of Coiumbia and Arthur Sewallof Maine. The first business in order was the call- ing of the roil by Secretary Sheerin, which showed the following present: Alsbama—Henry D. Clayton. Arkansas—T. V. McRae, proxy. California—M. F. Tarpey. Colorado—Charles S. Thomas. Connecticut—Carlos French, Delaware—Lewis C. Vandergrift. Florida—Samuel Pasco.

Indian Territory—Robert L. Owen. Secretary Sheerin stated that the con- testants from Texas known as gold men had withdrawn from the further contest for seats in the convention. The with- drawal was accompanied by a statement of the reasons which impelled them to enter upon the contest and now to volun- tarily abandon it. This statement was read by the secretary and made a part of the records of the committee. Senator Jones of Arkansas, representing the ‘‘steering’’ committee of the Bimetal- lic League, was given an opportunity to address the committee. He stated that the silver men had no candidate to present for temporary chairman. The selection of any one who was in accord with the idea of silver would be acceptable to him, and be urged in the interest of harmony that the wishes of the majority of the conven- tion be not antagonized in the choice. He was heard with respectful attention, but no answer was given him and he with- drew. The commiitee decided to proceed with the consideration and settlement of the contested cases first, and that from Ne- vada was settled in favor of General Keat- ing and his associates, silver men, without a vote. In the cases over which a contest was made fifteen minutes was given to each side for argument. The first case of that kind called was that of John P. Frenzel, goid, against Charles M. Cooper, silver, from the Seventh Indiana District. Mr. Cooper made his own argument, while ex-Attorney-General Green Smith spoke for Mr. Frenzel. Cooper bad been recog- nized by the State Convention of Indians, and he was placed on the temporary roll by.a vote of 47to1, the negative vote being cast by Mr. Campau of Michigan. A contest brought by the silver men for seats for three districts in Michigan was argued for the contesting gold men by Eiliot G. Stevenson, chairman of the gold delegation, and for the silver men by Dan- iel J. Campau, the Michigan member of the National Committee. On motion of Charles 8. Thomas of Colorado the gold men were placed on the temporary roll, Mr. Campau’s being the only vote cast for the contestants. D. J. Mahoney spoke for the contesting old delegates from Nebraska, headed by obias Castor, and he warned the Demo- cratic party, through the National Com- mittee, of the daneer tnere was before it of defeat at the pills should it nominate a Populist rather than a Democrat. . Thair of Gilroy, 8. 8. Ball of| C.J.Smyth replied for the Bryan silyer delegation, and by the first test vote of the afternoon—27 to 23—it was decided to place the Castor delegation on the temporary roll. Next came the Ohio contest—that from the Eighteenth District—wherein John H. Clark and A. M. Raff, gold men, sought the places of Conrad Schweitzer and W. 8. Potts, silver men. The gold men had been recognized by their district convention and the silver men by the State Conven- tion, and the case was stated to the com- mittee by Mr. Clark in person for himself and Mr. Raff, and by John C. Welty for the siiver men. The committee voted— 24 to 17—to sustain the decision of the State Convention and gave the silver men a place on the roll. A rather unexpected contest came up from South Dakota, where a delegation of silver men, headed by Dr. Ross, sought to secure the seats fortitied by the State Con- vention to the delegation headed by Dele- gate F. M. Stover. It wasa clear case of silver against gold, but the committee de- cided without the formality of a ballot and vractically by a unanimous vote to seat the Stover or gold delegation. This ended the contests for seats in the conven- tion, as far as the National Committee was concerned. Mr. Bryan was somewhat sur- prised at the action in the Nebraska case, having been firmly of the opinion that the gold men had no show. When the result was announced be said to a reporter of the United Press: “Well, we received more than the silver votes of tlie committee, auyhow, and will be seated by the committee on crededtials with question, becanse we have as clear a right to a place in the convention as the delegation of any State.” Ex-Postmaster-General Don M. Dickin- son was more than usually smiling and complacent when the vote upon the Mich- igan contest was announced to him. “You will notice,” he remarked, ‘‘that Mr. Campau’s motion to seat the silver dele- gates received only his own vote and that the motion to give the gold delegates their seats was made by Charles 8. Thomas, one of the leading silver members of the Na- tional Committee.” *‘What will be done in the convention about the matter?” Mr. Dickinson was asked. “Oh, that's immaterial —quite imma- away. The committee then decided to recom- mend a temporary chairman of the con- vention, and. Mr. Clayton, one of the delegates irom Alabama, nominated for that position Senator John W. Daniel of Virginia. He spoke briefly in support of his nomination, urging the committee to recognize the overwhelming majority in favor of free silver that was known to ex- ist among the delegates at the convention, and at the close of his remarks he was loudly applanded. Ex - Lieutenant - Governor Sheehan of New York presented the name of Senator David B. Hill, setting forth his capabili- ties as a presiding officer and his merits as a Democrat. No other candidates being named, the committee proceeded to ballot, and Mr. Hill was chosen by 2 vote of 27 to 23. Mr. Hill received the votes of the committee- men from the following States and Terri- tories: Connecticut, Delaware, lilinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesoia, ssippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsyl- vania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Ten- nessee, Texas, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin and Alaska—: Commutteemen from the following States and Territories voted for Senator Daniel: Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idako, Kan- sas, Maine, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, North Carolina, North Dakota, South Carolina, Virginia, Wyoming, Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Utah, Indian Territory and the District of Colum- bia—23. James Jefferies, the committeeman from Louisiana, was not recorded as vot ing. His support had been expected by the friends of Senator Hill. After the result of the vote had been | announted the only exciting incident of the afternoon occurred. Mr. Thomas of Colorado rose and stated that he had been assigned the unpleasant task of notifying the committee in case the Senator from New York was selected as the choice of the majority that a minority report would be made and the name of the Hon. John W. Daniel of Virginia would be presented to the convention as a substitute. Mr. Thomas said : “The views of the Senator from New York on the currency question are at vari- ance with those of a majority of the dele- gates to the convention. e stands ag the representative of the Eastern gold men. We have been informed by the press that these men have sent delega- tions here to influence the action of the convention, and statements have been made by these men in the press and at public meetings which they have held in this city that they will agree to no com- promise and will spare no eftort to accom- plish their ends. We would say to them that the majority will accept no compro- mise and aiso will spare noeffort to secure their purpose, which is to name a man in accord with their views. They don’t de- sire to work in secret, but to fight in the open, and therefore notify the ®ommittee that a minority report will be presented with the Hon. John W. Daniel named for temporary chairman of the convention, and they will ask that that deliberative body be permitted to select a presiding officer who is in accord with tbe views of the majority.”” In conclusion Mr. Thomas asked Chair- man Harrity, in view of the statement that had been made, what kind of a recep- tion the silver men might expect to be ac- corded upon a motion to substitute the minority for the majority report. Mr. Harrity responded with promptness and some feeling that such a reflection upon the chairman as was implied in the question was not justified. He was only the organ of the commictee and should en- deavor to discharge the duties that were incumbent upon him with absolute im- partiality and a strict regard for the rights of the members. Mr. Thomas disclaimed any intention to reflect in the slightest de- gree upon the chairman of the committee, Ex-Lieutenant - Governor Sheehan fol- lowed Mr. Thomas in an impassioned speech, which evoked applause at intervals from the gold men on the committee.. He said: “I recall that four years ago, sitting in this very room, then as now members of the Democratic National Committee, Mr, Thomas and I labored and voted side by side to secure the nomination as tem- porary chairman of the convention about to assemble of the Hon. William O. Owens of Kentucky. Mr. Owens, as is well known, was opposed to the nomination of the man who, as developments after proved, was the choice of an overwhelm- ing majority of that convention. We were successful, too, as I remember, by about the same vote as that by which the com- mittee to-day has determined to recom- mend the selection of the Senator from New York, but I also remember there was on that occasion no Democrat so disloyal to the only existing National Democratic terial,” he replied airily, as he walked | organization as to even suggest tA the con- I vention that it repudiate the judgment and overturn the decision of the National Committee. On the eve of the gathering of the next National Convention such action as that outlined in the declaration of Mr. Thomas will establish a most dan- gerous precedent, and those who support him in the attitude that be has assumed must be responsible for whatever may occur for which their acts may be taken as an example.” Mr. Sheerin, secretary of the committee, was named as temporary secretary of the convention and John L Martin sergeant- at-arms. This completed the business before the committee and at 5:45 p. M. it adjourned, subject to the call of the chairman. The moment the vote on the temporary chairmanship was announced Don M. Dickinson, who was in the committee- room, rushed out, tearing down the cor- ridor to Senator Hill’s room, which was at the extreme end of the hall, and announced the result. Mr. Hill received the news in bis usual impassive way. Gathered in the room at the time were ex-Secretary Whit- ney, former Governor Flower, Smith M. Weed and others. All congratulated the Senator on his selection. Mr. Whitney and other gentlemen had been waiting to hear from the National Committee on the temporary chairmanship question and on the announcement of the result left the Senator’s room. A United Press representative asked Mr. Hill if he was satistied with the vote. “‘0h,” said the Senator, with a shrug of his shoulders, “I don’t care anything about it; it makes no aifference to me one way or the other.” “Will you prepare a speech as tempo- rary chairman?”’ was asked. *Well, no,"” said Mr. Hill, “Idon’t think T will, for divers reasons. What’s the use of preparing a speech; I may not havea chance to deliver?” “Do you think the convention will re- fuse to accept the National Committee's recommendation 2" “Idon’t know. It is bard to tell what the enemy will do under the circumstan- ces. T am prepared for anything that is vossible to happen.” FEUD RUNS VERY HIGH.

I'm afraid the Democratic party won’t winter.”” | So much for the present atmosphere. It is filled with repudiation of principles and contracts. It is favorable to the commis- sion of an organization called a Demo- cratic party, which Jefferson would not recognize and Jackson would take for Coxey’s army. It will be the creation of the Southern Senators, who led their people into trouble thirty years ago, and seem anxious to lead another failure be- fore they die. Its logical candidates are: Bland, Tillman, Boies, Bryan, McCorkle, McConnell, Matthews, Pennoyer, Black- burn, McLean. The candidates of the old Democracy were: Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson, Van Buren, Polk, Cass, Pierce, Buchanan, Douglass, McClellan, Seymour, Tilden, Hancock and Cleveland. Those in the first list are not strong enough to be pallbearers at the funeral of a party that has been led by thosein the second.

Joux P. Insm. chiele o8 OHIO’S DELEGATION. It Wil Go Into the Convantion Practically Unpledged, but Mc- Lean Is Favored. CHICAGO, IrL., July 6.—The Ohio dele- gation had an important and interesting meeting to-day, aud the upshot of it was that the delegation will go into the con- vention practically unpledged, but with an overwhelming majority in favor of the candidacy of John R. McLean. Trouble was started by the introduction of a reso- lution by General E. B. Finley that the delegates be instructed to vote for Mec- Lean as a unit. The resolution was de- bated bitterly for some time and Mr. Mc- Lean was subjected to considerable criti- cism. S. H. Holding of Cleveland led the at- tack and was joined by Barton Smith of Toledo and L. A. Claypool of Springfield. Mr. Smith made some remarks in opposi- tion to the unit rule, while Mr. Claypool waintained that Mr. McLean’s newspaper haa not been s straight-out Democratic journal; that Mr. McLean therefore was nota good man to indorse. Friends of Mr. McLean defended him warmly,but said they were not particular about theadop- tion of the unit rule. All they wanted was that the vote of Ohio should be cast for him. Several of the gold men ex- pressed their intention of voting for Mr. McLean and said their opposition was di- rected entigely against any attempt at gag rule. General Finley finally amended his reso- lation g0 as to make it read that the Ohio delegation should present Mr. McLean as their candidate for President and request- ed all delegates to vote for Lim. To this proposition an amendment was offered providing that the delegation cast its vote for McLean, but that if his chances be- came hopeless individual members be per- mitted to vote for whom they pleased. These propositions were vigorously de- bated. Mr. Patrick made a conciliatory speech, in which he said that while Le would not have sslected McLean as the Ohio candidate, he would support him. Tow L. Johnson said he was sorry that ihe question of unit rule had been up, but admitted his willingness in the interest of the party to bow to the will of the ma- jority. Ulrich Stone made a speech in de- xf:se of the unit rule and lauded Mr. Mc- an. A motion was finally made that the whole subject be laid on the table and this was finally adopted after an agreement that the delegation express its preference for candidates by an &tomu vote. The vote resulted as follows: McLean. 32; Bland, 2; Carlisle, 1; Blackburn, 1; Patti- son, 1; no choice, 2, REE FROM GOLD MEN. Lively Session of Steerers of the Bimetallic League. TO DIRECT AFFAIRS OF THE CONVENTION. Agree to Fight the Hill and Gold Men to a Finish, if Neces- sary. DANIEL IS THEIR CHOICE FOR CHAIRMAN, White-Metal Champions Hur! D:fiance at the Sound Money Minority. Trg CaLL's HEADQUARTERS, Grear NortHERN HoTkL, } Curcaco, ILL., July 6. The steering committee of the Demo- cratic National Bimetallic League had a lively session to-day. It wasa unit in fa- wvor of directing the affairs of the National Convention independent of the gold men. While the meeting was in progress the word was communicated to it that Hill nad been named by the National Commit- tee as temporary chairman of the conven- tion. Immediately it was decided that the committee, which will represent twenty-seven silver Statesin the conven- tion, should centralize its forces on Daniel for chairman to-morrow. A vote was taken, and all these States agreed to fight Hill and the gold men {o the bitter end. It was also decided to unite on Harris of | Tennessee for permanent chairman. The committee is to-night considering the caucus proposition. Many of the sil- ver States are reticent about getting into line, thougt the managers of Bland, Boies and Matthews have practically agreed to stand by the choice of a caucus. The com- mittee is voting on the question as 1 write. The silver men are seemingly well or- ganized, and harmony prevails in the | ranks. There will be no surrender on | their part. ! “‘We are going to turn Hill and Whitney down,” said Judge Powers of Utah to- night, “and run the convention in our own way, This line of action was decided upon by the steering committee at its meeting this afternoon. The gold men may bolt the convention, if they desire. | That is their privilege. The majority of | the delegates are for free silver, and if the | | | | other fellows don’t want to get into the band-wagon they needn’t.” “This is a regular prairie fire,” said | Bsrry Hillard of 1daho in discussing the | silver question with me to-night, “‘and 1t is going to sweep over the whole country. The delegates from Idaho came unin- structed as to candidates, but will vote as a unit on all guestions coming before the convention. We favor the candidates who can best unite the silver forces.” Delegate Hillard is a native Californian. He went to Idaho some ten years ago, served with credit 1n the Territorial Legis- lature, and for several years past has been Auditor and Recorder of Shoshone County. Senator W. H. Watt, chairman of the Idaho delegation, told me to-night that the delegates of Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Montana and Nevada held a conference and decided to act together on temporary organization and other matters respecting silver su- premacy that might come before the con- vention. “The object of the meeting,” said Mr. Watt, *‘was to get a consensus of opinion of the delegates from the Rocky Mountain States, and [ am glad that there were no dissensions, We will go into the conven- | tion hall to-morrow as one man, present- | ing a solid front for the free and unlimited coinage of silver at 16 to 1.” Mr. Watt is a prominent mining man ot the Wood River section of Idaho and rep- | resents Blaine County in the State Senate. M. F. Tarpey, National Committeeman | from California, is doing splendid work for the silver cause. Frask McGUIRE. E S SILVER REPRESENTATIVES. They Hold Conferences to Devise Means to Clrcumvent the | National Committee. | CHICAGO, 1Lr., July 6.—A conference of the accredited representatives of free silver delegations assembled at the Sher- man House at 2 o'clock this afternoon. They represented 400 votes. Senator Har- ris of Tennessee presided, with T. O. Towles of Missourt as secretary. After much discussion Senator Tillman of South Carolina asked that the roll be called by States to decide whether the silver men should get together and name a slate for officers of the convention and for Presi- dent and Vice-President of the United States to be supported in open conven- tion by all silver men. The vote on this proposition stood ayes 118, noes 80, unde- cided 220. Previous to the vote and leading up to 1t was a long and earnest debate. Gover- nor Tiillman of South Carclina said it was to his mind essential to present a firm front and to accomplish this organization must be held. The goldbugs were here now trying to sow the seeds of disruption and aisorganization-and were sparing no means in their power to do it. They were playing on the vanity of men by putting the bee a-buzzing where, if the bee were lively, it would ve the last place it would seek honey. Yet its effect was even now felt in the fact that the silver men hesitated to take the lead and keep it. Governor Altgeld of Illinois stated that from what be understood yesterday no silver conference could be held which would include all the 600 and odd silver delegates in the convention. Neverthe- less if such a conference seemed to those present wise and prudent Illinois would be found acting in concert to promote the silver cause. Illinois had no candidate to present and was hampered in no way which could in- terfere with her giving her best efforts to nominate a candidate upon a platform that would command a majority of the votes of the people of the North. Still, he tbought there might be something in a conference of so many as 600 men with no rules to guide them, and unless all speeches | delegates to be in their seats by 11:30 to- | | form, should vote in accordance with the | Fall Creek, Or. were eliminated ana they simply came | down to voting on propositions and men the conference might find at its close thht it left them less united than at the be- ginning, Mr. O'Donnell of Colorado reiterated his remarks of last Friday night that it was necessary for the silver men to get together so that the goldbugs of the Easc could not throw their 300 votes in a body to some silver man less objectionable to | the goldbugs and thus nominate him. | Such a man nominated in such a way, he declared, could not carry Colorado. Without taking any action, but with the understanding that each of the delegates present would endeavor to get in touch with his delegation and ascertain if any | changes bad taken place, the conference adjourned to meet again later. The event of the evening was a confer- ence of silver men at the Sherman House, with the view of determining upon a line | of procedure to defeat the National Com- | mittee in the event thst it sougit to pre- | vent the name of a silver man being pre- sented in to-morrow’s conventioa as tem- porary chairman. The conference was called for 9 o’clock | and was to consist of one member from | each State having a silver delegation or | silver representatives. The members were slow in arriving and ‘‘whips” were sent | out.
