Senator Hill turned Down by the Democratic Convention at Chicago, and Senator Daniel Chosen Temporary Chairman. Chicago, III., July 7. It was war to the knife to day for five hours be tween the gold and silver forces. The East was arrayed against the South and "West, and for the first time in twenty-five years the Eastern dele gates were forced to bite the dust. The National committee by a small majority is for gold, and! it was de termined to put "a gold man in as temporary chairman. ; They hoped to catch on to Senator Hills popularity and elect him. Then he was to make a red hot speech. The silver men re solved to permit no man to speak officially who was not a silver man. Upon this the issue was joinecj. The debate was long and hot, but threats and appeals alike failed to get more than 3 out of the 554 silver delegates m the convention. The silver men are divided as to the best man to nominate, but there is division upon nothing else. The people need not be alarmed, to day's action shows that Hill and Whitney can mane no ai vision. There is j05i tinued talk of a silyer caucus in order to secure the nomination of a' silver man by silver votes a alone; but Boies, Matthews and McLean are op posed to it, fearing bland would have a majority and they would be out of the lace. The same fear will prevent immediate abrogation of the two thirds rule. U . uhe dark horses and candidates with few votes hope to be nominated ifthe two-thirds-rule prevails, - and therefore they favor it. If necessary I the rule will be abrogated. The silver I men lack about forty of the two-thirds vote, but it is believed they will get the needed thirty-six votes after the first few ballots. If Bland is not nominated on the first few ballots a stampede to Bryan is possible. North Carolina delegates will welcome this stampede. Most of them think Bryan is the strongest candidate. There is do chance to nominate Boies or Mat thews. Bland is far in the lead. .-He is the most probable nominee. If he fails Bryan is the probable nominee" with Clark or Blackburn for Vice President. V ' Yesterday Mr. Theordore F. Kluttz addressed the South Carolina delega tion in behalf of Clark, W. D. Turner the Colorado delegation, John . R. Webster and B. R. Winburne . the Virginia delegation, and B R. Lacy the Washington delegation. Others called to see other delegates, and claims were presented in the, way to win favor. Nothing can be predicted of the vice-presidency with safety, until the nomination is inade for President. To night when Senator Daniel en tered the dining room of the Sher man House the delegates at dinner arose and applauded and cheered him. He made his way to the North. Cairo-, lina table and dined with a party of Tar Heel delegates. The silver men are jubilant to-night. But they are still anxious over the President. 44 We must watch the gold vote and move the other way, v said Mr. Cy WatsOD, and that's the general feeling.. ' - When Chairman Harnty dropped the gavel to-day the fight began and jraged for three living hours, s Daniel and Hill were tossed between gold auu inere.was unnmitea taiK i iree coinage and applause. When Harity called Hill's name When Clavton read thft minnrifv" r- ort and mentidned! Daniel there was uother great demonstration and free ilver men iumne'd to their chairs and elled wildly. . y Waller, of Connecticut, and John Fellow, of New York, made great speeches for Hill. x,4tWhy do you sin gle out of all, this great Democrat for immolation and sacrifice," said Fel lows. Waller threateningly said: 4lf you turn him down-we will fight you here and hereafter." Hill's chances melted right there. , 44The creature wanis : to . rule the master,", said Waller, of Alabama, speaking against the committee's re port for Hill. . ; - ruWe love not ))avid B. Hill less, but Democracy more", said Mars ton, of Louisiana. Marston was assailed by a storm of catcalls, yells and hisses from the gUleries and for twenty minutes there was an uproar, Harrity pounding witlvihe gavel and calling on the police to quell the stir. These waves of disorder continued until the vote was taken. When New York was called Col, Fellows said: 44David B. Hill will hot vote." - (Ap plause.) When Virginia was called on Senator Daniel" Toted for Hill, going the New Yorker one better, while the house rang -with applause. When Harrity announced the re sult, ayes 556, noes 849, not voting one, the silyer men joined! in cheer after cheer and a thousand hats were in the air. 1 When Daniel stepped to the chair ten thousand people rose to their feet and cheered until they were hoarse, while the band.burstout in "Dixie." The first fight between gold and silver was over and the silver men felt firm ground under foot. They know where they i4are at." The comniittee on permanent or ganization has selectsd Senator Ste ven White, of California, for perma nent chairman of the' convention. Senator White was selected by a vote of 53 to 6. for Senator David B. frill, of New York. ' The North Carolina Delegation.

A tree that is stired all the time, from Center to circumferecne and from top to hottom, will tiotfgrow. -Two cities of Greece, Sparta and Athens.? gives us a beautiful illustration, of this. Sparta was noted for her wariors. Like the North American Indian, war was the Spartan's joy; he fought for revenge, - they . fought for glory; At seven years of age the hoys were given to "boy trainers," i n order that they might become expert 'soldiers. All their education consisted in this, for the Spartans had a profound con tempt for the learning of. the Athe nians, consequently Sparta ; was hot the home of many great men, and "it soon disappeared from the stage of action. , Her native sister, Ath ens, ."The Hub. of . the Universe," sngaged in war but a little, but gave most of her ti me, to ; literary ; attain ments.
