The Silver Candidate's Iriends Much. Elated Biyazi and Altgeld Laud ed in Aaditorium. Chicago, July 20. The national, dem ocratic comniittee met here today and throughout its six hotfr session .William J. Bryansat" beside William J. Stone, who has been acting1 chairman in Sena tor Jones' absence, and watched -every move. It was pointed out that rarely does a leader find it necessary to attend a meeting of the committee, tout in view of the rumored aspirations of Stone and; other plans which have been secretly making, Bryan evidently deem ed it advisable to be on the ground. He held a proxy of National Commit teeman Cam pan, buit said never a word. C. A. .Walsh, of Iowa, secretary of the committee, called the committee to order, and ex-Goveraar Johnson, of Kansas, was made? temporary chair man. The first important. business was the seating of George Fred Williams as national committeeman in place of John W. Corcoran. Then P. J. .Devlin was deposed as head of the press bu reau for helping along Altgeld's fight against Mayor Harrison, iiniies; Tillman of S"6uth Carolina, was restive, and finally he could not stand not- talking any longer, for he jumped to his feet and demanded of Stone what was the pur pose of calling the meeting of the com mittee at this time. Stone said it was for the purpose of adopting rules, whereupon Tillman said they did not want any rule except to stick to the Chicago platform of 1896. Till man finally quieted down and the com mittee,, book a short recess for- lunch. During the intermission the. committee men were mobbed by thousands of rampant free silverltes. The democratic national bimetallic league meanwhile had met, elected J. W. Tomlinson, of Alabama, president, and endorsed Bryan. The Ohio Valley bimetallic league also met, as did the American bimetallic union, of which A. J. Warner, of Ohio, is head. The eastern men formed an association on the same lines, called, the New England bimetallic association. The three western organizations sent representa tives to the. ' national comniittee and Sone eraciously thanked them for of- fering their services. Then came .the discussion of the pro posed change in the national commit tee's rules. Resolutions naming Stone as vice ehainman, with power to name a new executive committee and a new ways nd means committee were intro duced, and caused a protest from Bry an's friends, they insisting Stone should. consult. Chairman Jones before mak'n? any appointments. Bryan's" friends iearried the. day and Stone was compell ed to accede to this demand. A resolu tion ealling upon the committee to act in groups was referred to the executive committee and those " acquainted with the.. "situation . say the committeemen for New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl vania, Maryland and Delaware will, probably be requested to act as -a errmm 'n bringing about a better underatand- Ung. ..Bryan's friends are greatly elated .ov er the -defeat of Stone's efforts, and wihenthe committee' adjourned iJrvan smiled for the first time during the day..- i.

Altgeld's nonster demoxsratic rally-in tTae atiditorjum was' a.s big success! He was lauded byjspsak er after speaker. Bryan did not appear until late and got a" welcome, of the heartiness of which' there could be ,no dortht. There had -been "some doubt' about Bryan attending, and ' he ,had made an effort to h?ave it in charge of the. national committee. This failing he came anyway, and at the beginning; of his speech, tried to -Smooth t.tilrr over by remarking: "All Chioago p'ati! form democrats look alike to me," and; prophesying that local differences would be forgoitten in working for national- victory. Then he sketched the platform J on which the next campaign would.. be: fought. The platform of 1$96 would, be reaffirmed as ithe first plank ands he. would defend It all, especially the dec laration for 16 to 1. The trust question would also stand, and he then brought forth his well " known arguments against monopolies. Coming to the Philippines question-i Bryan "attacked the right of the government to acquire title by conquest and urged, that the- Filipinos be freed, despite European ridicule. V' Among others who spoke were JtySre Tarvin, of Kentucky; Senator Tillman, Congressman Shafforth, -of Colorado; National Committeeman .Troupe, : of Connecticut, and George .Fred Williams, qf Massachusetts. All were for Bryat and AJtgeJd, and it heeded only a men- tion of either name to 6tart rounds .fjt applause.
