Teller's Claims Are Being Vigoroasly Presented AND SERIOUSLY CONSIDERED. Silver Hen Will Name Bryan Temporary Chairman. for By Associated Press. Chicago. since 1SGO, when the.

Democratic party met in convention at Charleston and tlie subject of sueh irreconcilable difference of opinion on a great question in as now confronts the delegates who are assembling here for the convention. The situation which tho Democrats faced then has its analogies in the one which they confront today. The northern Di-raoc- racj declaring for squatter sovereignty later at Baltimore, nominated Stephen A. Douglas, while the seceding southern delegates decliring for the eviat- of slaverj named John C. Breckinridge.

At the threshold of the com en I ion the gold standard Democrats are deft-sited two to one. York and the i Democratic st ites of New Jersey and Connecticut.

which have since the war always exercised the dominating in Democratic conventions, and have each four jears named the candidate, on-the the'orj that New York and her two small sister states were 'battle "rounds and tlieir vote'. to suecess. are to be sent to the rear. The eastern Democracy may plead and crv nloud that a candidate and free silver platform means disruption, dis-ister and ruin, lint their pleadings ami cries fall on deaf ears. Tho siher Democracy is in the saddle and i ride rough "shod over precedent and tradition if necessary to accomplish Hieir purpose.

That is the set determination of the leaders. They won the battle at the primaries and propose to and en- jov the fruits of their vietory. Tt is in i i the gold -standard men warn them of the eertnin loss of New York. Xew Jersey and Connecticut at the polls. They'will not listen to argument.

They have reconciled themselves to the of those and have convinced tbemselvemthat in the west and middle states of the Mississippi valley i be found electoral votes enough to offset the defection in the east.

While there is neither probability nor ('ten a possibility of a minority liolt and another candidate in the field as there was in 1SfiO. so far as the eastern states are concerned, there might as well be. support in tho electoral college from states of the Ohio h.is been voluntarily relinquished by those in control, for it he remarkable change in the opposition iin the national Democratic convention Hward New York and the cast entails other remarkable conditions which ill make the coming convention memorable and if its deliberations are erowned with success in November, mark an epoch in the hist.irj of Vmeriein polities.

Dubois and of Teller's associates.

Secretary Tnwbeneck of the Ponnlist partv and Senator Stew irt of the Silver party, are bending their energies to impress upon the Democratic silver leaders the great strength IWter-n Nomination 'would bring to the cause of silver in which the convention is to enlist itself. As far as Duboisand Teller's associates are concerned, they sa that thev stand ready to give their heartiest support to any recognized free silver Democrat whom the convention might name if the platform is in other respects satisfactory, but they point owt that silver liopublicana who would rally enthusiastically around Teller might not vote for a Democrat, while the Pacifists, in so far an Tawbeneck can speak for them, openly declare that unless Teller is nominated they will place a ticket in the Held with Teller as nominee. They show a list of eighty-three electoral votes from western and Mississippi valley which will be given to their nominee, more than enough to compensate for the hiss of New York. New Jersey and Connecticut. silver congressman from Xevadk.

today spread broadcast a statement to show that with Teller as nom- 1.000.000 silver Republicans. 2.000.- ooo Popvliats and about 500.000 labor union would swell the 3.000.000 rotes upon the Democratic nomi- nee eouM connt with absolute safety, no matter how strong toe gold standard disaffection might be. His figures aggregated the popular vote at 6,300,000. Cleveland in 1892 received 5,000,000 popular votes. The glittering prospects involved in Teller's nomination as put forth by his friends baa made its impression.

Judge McConnell of Chicago, whom Governor Altgeld suggested as a candidate ten days ago, has espoused the cause of the Colorado senator and it is an open secret that a number of Democratic silver senators, like Jones of Arkansas, Harris of Tenessee and others are trying to manipulate things from the inside in Teller's interests. Today they seemed to make considerable headway, and many prominent silver leaders here were quoted as in favor of Teller's nomination. It was even ssaid John B. McLean also, who is here at the head of the Ohio delegation, with forty-six votes at his back and himself in the field, was for Teller. But out among the Democratic advance skirmishers and delegates who have put in an appearance, there is mosl emphatic expression against taking as a candidate any but a Democrat who had won his spurs.

The Teller talk induced the managers of the Bland boom to issue a public statement declaring that if the Democratic convention nominated Teller no one wonld give him warmer support than Bland, as he recognized him as an unwavering champion of free silver, who could if elected, subordinate nil other dims to-accomplish it. The sting was in the tail, however when it protested against the nomination of any but Democrats by a Democratic convention. NnnwniM "Silver Dick" Bland undoubtedly has popular enthusiasm with him thus far. His managers are pushing his boom with great vigor and relying largely on popular sentiment. They have perfected details for a great demonstration Monday night as the climax of their campaign.

They will parade the streets with bands and flambeau clubs and wind up with a mass meeting on the lake front. The Boies boomers are also active. They have placarded the hotels with lithographs of the Iowa candidate to GOLDMEN Oil Whitney Mannallinr His Forces tor the Contest WILL DO MISSIONARY WORK. Opinions of Leaders at the Preliminary Conference. By Associated Press.

Chicago, Julj gold standard leaders are here. That means the fight is on; that the siher men who had the field practically to themselves are to be confronted with arguments on -the other aide; that they are now to contest the Held i old and tried politicians, and that the question of financial policy will be thoroughly canvassed even if the white metalists are in the ascendancy and so continue. It did not take the gold standard people from the east very long to get actively to work tonight. Xo sooner had William C. Whitney gone to room tihan he wrote personal notes addressed to fhe leaders of all the -states opposed to silver, who had representatives here.

These notes requested the gold standard people to meet him and other eastern men in the parlor of the Auditorium at 8 o'clock, so that some plan of action might be decided for the gold campaign. At 8 o'clock Whitney, accompanied by ex-Mayor Grant, ex-Governor Russell and several other eastern men. appeared in the rooms. Senator Hill and Roswell P. Flower came in a little later.

Among others going in were W. F. Harrity, John Read and Charles E. Ingersoll of Pennsylvania. John P.

Hopkins. Washington Hosing, James S. Tekels, and Ben T. Cable of Illinois; .1. Prather of Missouri, William E.

Russell of Massachusetts. L. Victor Boughman of Maryland. E. S.

Bragg and E. C. proposed mam meeting in favor of the gold standard tomorrow night. The demand for tickets has been large and the success of the meeting is undoubted. The Indiana gold standard people ate hustling for converts, bill when a nan shouted the word "gold." in any of the corridors today he was surrounded immediately with a crowd of silver and the result was rather disheartening.

The few gold standard people here prior to the arrival of the Whitney party had very little to say as to candidates. Boies and McLean are looked upon as rery much more to be desired than Bland. Indeed, the gold standard men declared today even if they were whipped on other issues they would not vote for Bland, nor Is this sentiment confined to the gold adherents. There are rumors that the Bland boom has assumed its largest proportions and the leaders would not accept him under any circumstances. In other words Bland was to be used as a stalking horse.

He said: "I have felt more than anybody the effects of the protocol of 1877.

"The tries to accomplish good service in Cuba, but its situation is difficult since there is no right of search. It has therefore, captured very few filibustering ships, and each capture has cost us great complications and humiliations.

"Speaking about this I declare that big warships are useless in Cuba.

The Matthews boomers from Indiana Convention of the Democratic party are playing a waiting game. By the)had ever been in the face of con- rivalries and jealousies that are being Imons so momentous said 1 developed they hope to profit. The friends of Klackburn and McLean, the other two silver have not yet done much work. They, too, are waiting sueh opportunities as may present themselves, but neither is as yet considered in any way formidable. The gold standard men are not devoting much consideration to the question as to who will be put forward to oppose the sliver candidates.

A picture of Governor Pnttison of Pennsylvania was nailed to the wall of the Pennsylvania headquarters today by direction of Chairman Harrity, and the general impression is the gold standard strength will be concentrated upon him. The arrival of the New York gold standard leaders. Secretary Whitney, Senator Hill. Governor Flower, Colonel Fellows and ex-Mayor Grant, this afternoon was generally awaited by the gold standard contingent and their coming threw both life and spirit into them. Comtroller of Currency Eckels, representative of the administration, has been quite lively up to this time, his allies in Illinois and Indiana having been able to do nothing.

Until the gold standard men conferred tonight they were practically without any plans. The arrival of the Xew York leaders will precipitate the fight, but while great things are whispered about the corridors, all of them positively admit that thev are beaten. Under Whitney's direction the delegates will be carefully canvassed and warned of the result of the adoption of a silver plank, but the lamp of hope bxirns low. "We shall at least have the satisfaction of explaining our position." said EokeK "and will place the responsibility for the future'where it belongs." A 'big sound money mass meeting has been arranged for tomorrow night. to solve all conflicts with prudence while in command of Cuba.

I did not ask for more troops, not thought them unnecessary By Associated Xew York, July G. Dun weekly trade review says: Current movements 4iave been so largely of a temporary character or else purely speculative on the day-by-day plan, that they are now highly instructive. Thus the extensive shut down of cat- tan mills north and south is solely in the hope that half-production in July and August may clear largely an overstocked market. Stock fluctuations are still more ephemeral, including two sharp declines, and partial rallies in the week 'both laboriously ascribed to various political causes, but manly Uje to Iwcn operators, who paw jfor a -quick turn. Trtowj rf the half year's operations In leading branches of 'manufactures fall 'so far to explain numerous stoppages.

In woolens they are without concert, the mills waiting for orders. Prices are depressed, but still depend on foreign possibilities. In cotton goods the closing of many mills is in effect recognition of the fact that most stocks of goods costing between cents eoiild not be expected to show profits iif the mills go on manufacturing until the new and probably heavy crop of cotton is ready. Further decline of print cloths to cents Is significant when such decrease in production is assured. The output of iron is largely decreased and there is quite a general stoppage of works for repairs.

Indeed, the silver senators have already selected upon William J.

Bryan of Nebraska for temporary chairman and Senator Harris of Tennesssee for permanent chairman. There is some talk of the com mittee selecting Vice-president Stevenson for temporary chairman, in which case the silver men wonld doubtless acquiesce. The talk of abrogating the two- thirds rule seems to be dying away. SILVER MEN CAUCUS. til Hoaday.

Dy Associated Press. Chicago, July silver delegates in the city held a caucus tonight to take into consideration the advisability of naming a man for temporary chairman of the convention but postponed action until Monday. The only affirmative action taken consisted in the adoption of a plan suggested by Hon. O. W.

Powers of Utah to bring the silver delegates together in such as to make a conference aawng delegations possible and render them thorough without making the meetings 00 large as to be intractable The plan consists in the appointment of a member from each silver delega said he. "that none of us are'clear as to tfiic definite policy to lie pursued. Ml wo cin do and all we are seeking ito do is to hold an in- Formal conference of fhose who rceog- the impending danger to take council one i another and act as wisely as we may under the circumstance." It was then suggested that a call be made of states and thnt those present indicate the names of delegates or influential persons favorable to the gold standard. It was found nearly all the states were represented, cither by delegates or bj men who (had come here to work against free silver. When the st ite of Kentucky was called Long, ex-chairman of the'Demo- cratic slate central committee, said he did not believe it possible to do anv.

effective missionary work i the delegation from his state, but he was certain that if a 1C to 1 platform vva-, adopted by the national convention Kentucky would go ISfpiiblfean in the Xovember election. Missouri was reached ex-Governor Francis said he regarded missionary work with the Missouri delegation well nigh hopeless. If Bland should be nominated, it was his judgment the state would go Democratic, but he did not believe it anv. other candidate could carry Missouri for free siher. Judge Moran of Illinois was heartily applauded when he said the silver movement in Illinois was not an intelligent Democratic movement, but represented the discontented socialistic and anarchistic following of Governor Altgeld, which was verj largely persona! in its character.

When New York was called ev-Gov- ernor Flower said: "I am positive Xew York state will go upon the Republican side of the liiestion i a majority of from JOO to 200.000 if the issue is silver." Flower was followed by John R. Fel- ows of Xew York, vvno spoke w.ith great deliberation and a. broken voice, lesaid: "I am strongly impressed that this movement against which we are con- ending iolatcs every principle of Democracy, and is but the vaporings of wild 'anatics." Tears streamed down Fel- ows' checks as he said: "If this dog- na of repudiation is incorporated into he platform of the Democratic party I must leave that party forever. I said, I am a Democrat. I have voted worked and expended my energies i and for the party.

I have been is faitJvfnl and consistent to its prin- iples as the party has been. But while I always evpected to remain a Democrat I cannot, gentle-men, accept the degradation that following this silver fallacy means." As Colonel Fel lows sat dow room rang with applause. A motion was then adopted to the effect that all the gold men meet every morning at 10 o'clock at the Palmer house to arrange for missfonarywork. and for conferences similar to that held to be convened every evening in the at 8 o'clock. The meeting then adjourned.

Twice during the meeting Hill of New York was called for but declined the ranks of the through sympathy, more than last year. Corn promises remarkably well; also oats. Failures in the United Slates for the week were 237, against 197 last year. "The insurgents have no base of ago am i though winter whea-t yields operations. Maximo Gomez has avowed ess spr nff wheat seems likely to yield that he docs not expect to conquer; he ----only wishes to ruin Spain.

It is a war of prudence and patience, in which it is necessary principally to protect property, machinery and villages. Hunger is our chief enemy. No cooperative association to protect workingmen exists, and Spaniards fight in insurgents, not but because of hunger. My policy in Cubawvas one of clemencj, becuuse the rebels gave back the prisoners and cured our wounded, but I was forced to show cruelty to bandits and incendiaries. "Since 1878, instead of attracting Cubans we repelled them by bigger taxes and increased tariff.

Cubans did not see the benefits of our domination and attributed all evils to Spain. "It is necessary to present a complete plan for Cuba. Who knowns where autonomy begins or ends? Who has guaranteed that when we grant reforms more will be not be asked? It is, however, necessary to give our Cuban brethren what they have a right to ask and let Europe know we are ready to establish in the West Indies every convenient reform that has been promised. "tct our vanity and amour propre yield in the presence of the consideration that the war costs too many millions and too many lives. Had I been president of the government I would have established reform." Tlradstreet's says: General trade in both commercial and industrial lines are dulled, but the falling is in par! the usual mid-summer dullness.

Comparatively few changes are noted, but most of them Are decreases in either price or demand. Quotations for wheat. Indian corn, cotton, oats, iron nd steel are lower. Sugar reacted fter the decline of last week; leather emains conspicuously firm with the hoe factories busily employed, anil iptroleum and anthracite coal are ligher. The sentiment of trade, at many points is that the immediate out ook is not favorable.

In some western renters complaint is made that the power of the agricultural -ommitnity is curtailed by iprolomrel ow "prices for farm products. The general indnstri.il situation shows no renewal of activity. (Continued on Second Page.) HANDSOME SURPLUS. Aaaatl Report of the Qsleey sad Patten' Quincy, July Soldiers' and Sailors' home is one institution to which Governor Altgeld may point with pride. Superintendent Kirkwood has just finished his report jfor the fiscal year, which closed on June 30.

This report, which will be presented to the trustees' meeting tomorrow, shows a surplus of more than $47,000. There have been in attendance during the year an average of 1,112 inmates, and the per capita cost of maintaining them has been $108.08. This is the best record ever made at this home or any other Soldiers' home. Although Kome of Governor Altgeld's reforms, such as the supplying of better food and abolishing the practice of punishing inmates by compellling them to do the work about the place, which work is now all paid for, have had tendency to increase the ranging expenses of the home, Superintendent Kirkwood has so well managed the institution that the expenses have steadily decreased until now it holds the record as the best and most economically managed institution of the kind in the country. Business failures in the United States 'or the last six months number 7,602 he largest six monMts' total since the records have been compiled.
