D R HOGG MY BECOME THE CHAIRYAN Ex-Governor of Texas to Get a Place in National Dem- ocratic Committee. JOVES' RESIGNATIO | Said to Have Been Sent in a Letter to One of the Western Members. e Spectal Dispatch to The Call. AUSTIN, letter received here to-day by a promi- | nent State Democratic politiclan from a well-known Bryan Democratic leader now in the East. It Is to the effect that an element of the National Democratic Com- - is seeking to elect ex-Governor S. Hogg of Texas to the position of chairman of the committee to succeed Hon. James K. Jones. This letter states further that a letter from Chairman Jones, resigning from the chaigmanship, s in the hands of one of the Western members of the committee, and that the reason set forth for so do- ing is that ill health prevents him from entering into the active work of organ- izing the party’s forces for the great cam- paign soon to be waged The proposed change of.the committee's chairman is said to-have been urged by Bryan, and Hogg is_to be rewarded for his service in_bursting the Van Wycke boom at the Tammany Fourth of July celebration. Bryan and Hogg have been intimate political friends for several rears. YAfter Hogg's free silver speech and Bryan's triumph at the Tammany cele- bration, Chairman Jones was made ac- tter came over from Europe on steamer. The letter concludes ing that a number of members | of the National Committee will antag- onize Hogg's election, but that it is thought Bryan’s influence will prevail. stern summer re- sult of the political nation y sta | move at Chic In confirma ago. )n of the letter referred to | advices were recelved here this evening that Hon. mes G.

White of Washington. His | presence in the committee may cause | trouble, for it is believed that Thomas | Gahan, member of the committee of Illi- may question Mr. Altgeld's right to represent a Democratic committeeman. Apparently Mr. Altgeld is desirous of | avoiding trouble. He sald to-day that he | did not care to sit in the committee if any | of the members resented it, and accord- ingly telegraphed Mr. White suggesting that some other proxy be named. “If I do not hear from Mr. White,” said the ex-Governor to-night, “or if he in- | sists that I represent him, I shall do so. But 1 have no desire to bring local af- fairs into the committe his discord between the Harrison and | Altgeld factions of the loeal Democratic | party was the salient feature of to. talk around the hotels. If Acting es are carrfed out, and f the committeemen are factional differences local to Chicago and New York will not be brought before the committee in any form. It is probable that a new rule wiil be adopted to-morrow providing that enever a' vacancy occurs in the tional the State committee shall elect a member of the National Committes to fill such vacancy. ~Another rule which is under consideration gives the Natlonal Committee the right to judge of qualifications of its own mem- | bers.” Still another rule is being talked of Which would force ex-Governor Altgeld ot of his position as a member of the “auxiliary committee,” which w: inally composed of Mr. Altgeld, Jones, Teller and Allen and William K. Stone. This rule will provide that all commit- tees, auxiliary and otherwise of the Na- tional Committee, shall be made up only of the big committee. It is intimated that the resignations of Senators Teller and Allen and ex-Governor Stone as members of the “auxiliary” or Ways and Mea “ommittee will be handed in_to-morrow. Senator Jones' absence in Europe will leave Mr. Altgeld the sole remaining member of this committee and an at- tempt may be made to force him out and reoszanize the committee with only Dem- ocrats as_members, leaving out the Pop- | ulists and_Silver Republicans: Among the prominent Democrats here to-day were: George Fred Williams of Massachusetts, Oliver H. P. Belmont of New York, Senator Francis M. Cockrell of Missouri, Colonel L. Victor Baughan of Maryland, proxy for Arthur P. Gor< man; Clark Howell of Georgia, Willlam Goebel, Democratic candidate for Gov- ernor of Kentuc William R. Burke, roxy for Committeeman Dwyer of Cali- ornia, and John F. Shafroth of Colorado. THREATEN TO FORM A NEW NATIONAL COMMITTEE CHICAGO, July 19.—The Tribune to- morrow will say: Plans have been ar- ranged by the uncompromising silver Democrats which may lead to the forma- tion of a new national committee. After several conferences, in which John P. Alt: —Acting Chairman yurt will call to order tional Committee at morning in the Bryan will prob- ts | apparently mos with him, the Tarvin and several other leading bimetal- Jists were the principal participants, a programme for to-day’s proceedings was promulgated. It calls for respective meetings at noon of the three bimetallic organizations having authorized commit- tees, all of whom are now in Chicago, and of the Illinois and New York Chicago platform Democrats. Thereafter a joint conference will be held, probably at the Unity building, to confirm whatever ac- tlon may be taken by those bodies. Then a commiftee will apply to the National | Committee for a hearing. They expect | to be treated and given an opportunity to_present their wishe: 'No action, however, will be taken by the National Committee until the visitors have retired. George Fred Williams will move that the proposition of the bimetallists to ¢ operate with the national committee i organizing campaign work be accepted. It the motion is adopted everything will then go along smoothly and in the most harmonious manner. If it is rejected they will be prepared to act independently. It was said that their plans contemplate in the event they are turned down by the national committee the organization at once of a national committee of their own. Tt will be formed before they quit Chi- cago. Then an address will be issued to the Democrats of the country informing them that this new national committee is the one that stands for the Chicago platform and the only one that should be Tecognized by the simon pure silver Dem- ocrats of the land. Willlam Prentiss, one of John P. Alt- geld's most intimate friends, called on Acting Chalrman Stone of the National Democratic Committee to-night and de- livered him the ultimatum of the allied bimetallic forces. ~Mr. Prentiss came direct from a joint conference with the executive committee of the Ohio Valley Bimetallic League and committees repre- senting the Chicago platform Democracy of Tilinois, the Chicago platform Democ- cracy of New York and the National Bi- metallic League. He told Mr. Stone that | Tex., July 19.—A sensational | bit of political gossip is contained in a| | quainted with the situation, and his resig- | geld, George Fred Willlams, James P.| SECRETARY KEVANE IS AT WORK UNDER AN ASSUMED NAME Trying to Aid Gage in Attempt to Remove Dr. Gardner From Napa Asylum. APA, July 19.—The investigation into the affairs of the Napa Asy- lum for the Insane was commenced to-day by Secretary Kevane and Walter F. Parker, expert of the State Board of Examiners. Whether or not the investigation will be fraught with developments of a sensational nature is purely a matter for conjecture at this time, but certain it is, however, that Governor Gage and his representatives are particularly deslrous for political or personal reasons of airing the charges that have been made against the management of the hospital. Secretary Kevane, who arrived here yesterday and registered at the Palace Hotel under an assumed name, spent the day rummaging about town collecting in- formation concerning the management of the hospital from discharged em- | ployes. The prevailing opinion here is that Gage is hot after Dr. Gard- ner's scalp. It is said that Gage is particularly anxious to drop the doc- tor’s official head in the basket because of certain rumors which are said to have reached his ears to the effect that Gardner did not support him in the recent campaign. Secretary Kevane visited the asylum this afternoon and had quite a lengthy interview with Dr. Gardner. After it was concluded Dr. Gardner drove Kevane to the depot and he took the afternoon train, presumably for Sacramento. Expert Parker is still here and Kevane will probably re- turn on the morning train. | if the National Committee at its mccting; | to-morrow removed P. J.
