Uvcry train brought political uniformed clubs , bands of music and fifes and drums corps. They came In the full regalia ot con ventions , with that Individuality v hlch the nllvcr movement has e ; I veil to Us advocates. Some of tbo clubs were uniformed lu light crash suits , with tall gray hats , others bore flambeaus , many carried horns and other In struments of discoid and all seemed bent on noise and demonstration The third sec tion of the Dick Hland Marching club put In nn appearance at 7 o'clock , reinforcing the 2,500 already here. They madu an attack on the hotels and aroused the occupants fiom tholr Blnmbers. Thn Nebraska sllvur train arrived with a blnro of hunting and un loaded 1.000 silver Bhoiitcrs.

The strcctH near thu political centers are pi Heli cally sunendcrcd to the politicians and on lookers. The same confusion and excite ment reigns In the hotel corridors , wheio the crowds me BO closely wedged that passage - sago through them H Impossible U the 1'almer the miln lobby Is packed with shout ing , gesticulating men who overflow Into the stieets and entries , and to these Is added nt Intervals some club , with Its band , their drums and biases serving to drown the din of the ohoutcrj At thp Auditorium , Sbciman boui > e and other ren dezvous there arc the same scenes of nols ) demonstration INCUBATING MORE DOOMS. The battle among the candidates is reachIng - Ing Its critical stage Today appe-ars to bo one of daik horses A telegram from Vice President Stevenson stating that his election to congress In 1S78 was the * result of bis advocacy of tbo remonetlzation of silver is attracting much attention H came last night In answer to an Inquiry from ex- Congressman T. W. McNealy and Is regarded ns having an especial slKiilflcanco at this juncture. -Congrcssman Slbley of Penn sylvania Is duo to arrive today and icvlval 1 of his picsldcntlal candldac ) is expected to follow In his wake. Ho announced himself some mo'iths ago , but of late has not urged bis candidacy. H Is said he comes at the suggestion of homo ot the Pcnnsvlvnnla dele gation , who show signs of silver Infection and who bcllove none of the candidates now In the field has demonstrated ability to win Senator Tlllman , the picturesqueami , terrible , Is also enjolng a daik horse boom as a result of the arrival of the South Carolina lina delegation , which Is Instructed to vote for him The Bland followers put on a front of great elation over the caucus of their forces yesterday and are making the e\ttemu claim that their candidate will be nominated b ) acclamation. This Is having the counter effect of concentrating the opposition to Bland , and other candidates are Just now Interested In offsetting the Bland movement Theio appears also to be considerable doubt as to whether ooveial states repoitod at the Bland caucus can bo dellvcied to him as bodies. California and Louisiana are hold ing out , although strenuous efforts are being made to bring them Into the Bland line The Indiana men say that Matthwws Is In p healthy condition , but pre giving no figures and making no claims They deny em phatically the report which gained cur rency around the Bland headquarters taat Governor Matthews' name would IIP with drawn befoie the close of the day. Eaily In the day there was talk that Senator Turplo might be another dark horse nnd In herit the Matthews strength when It was known that a nomination could bo made The Boles men are confident that Bland can not win on tbo flist ballot. They aie making up some lost gionnd by reconciling difficulties among their leaders IOWA GOLD MEN FOR BOIES. Kx-Governor Boles Is expected to return to Chicago some time during the day. The gold men of Iowa are perfecting nn organ ! zatlon for the suppoit of Boles The lead era nro J J. Richardson , member of the national committee , Cato Sells. Judge Kln- noy and J. M Gobble. The latter Is one of the four gold delegates fiom Ohio Tbo other three gold delegates refuse to partici pate In the movement for thu nomination of Holes and have already given notice that they Intend to bolt a silver nomina tion , whether Boles or any other man The organization of the Iowa gold men has for Its purpose the holding for Boles all silver delegates possible , and when 'n * has so- cuicd enough to secure a nomination If supported by the gold delegates from the eastern states , these delegates am to vote for him Of course It Is neceisaiy to se euro ple-dge > s from eastern delegations to bring about his nomination. It Is not known how many castem delegates can bo secured Under this arrangement It Is not hitcn.led that eastern gold delegates shall vote for Doles until he has enough slher votes to ngmlnatu him , because It Is feared that tbe support of gold delegates would dilvu thn ullvi'r votes away from him General J B. Weaver of Iowa was In conference with the Boles leaders today and said that bu wax In favor of fusion ot the democrats and populists , not only In congressional districts and In the state of Iowa , but also throughout the nation Mr. Weaver , who was thu populist candl date four jc.ira ago , hns bet In for Teller and hopes that Teller will bo nominated If Teller Is not telctiteil he w III support Doles and will urgu the populists to blip- port him If ho Is nominated by the demo crats , provided ho Is not nominated with the aid of gold votes In the convention Wc-avor sa > s ho will not support nn ) demo crat who Is nominated in the convention with the aid of gold votes and will uigo tlm populists to oppose fusion for such n candidate ! , especially If there Is any ap pearance of a combine for a silver candi date which looks like n coinpiomlae with thu gold forces , M'LL'AN OUT AND SIBLEY IN No McLean badges have ) ct appeared among the delegations , but the boom ot the Ohio Journalist Is met with every where.

Un less they are convinced before the presenta tion of names Is called for In tbe convention that their champion has much more than n lighting chance' bis name will not be for- mnllv offered for first place on the ticket. The miSRMtlon of McLoan's candidacy hns met with strong favor with many of the drlpgAtea , but the draft of Rcntlment seems to bo tl'nt IIP rannot posMbly icach the first place , and ha must content himself with the tall of the ticket Kx-Pon rrsniTian Joseph C1 Slblcy of Penn sylvania arrived hprp toJay and opened head quarters at the Auditorium He * announces himself as n eandldato for the pre-Mdcncy on a free silver platform , and his fi lends who have been hero foi sevi-rnl das , started n v Igorous nint earnest campaign In behalf of his candidacy.

It Is also said that Mr. Slblpy would be suppoited by the silver senators from the nnrtluvnst Senator Tin pie stated this ninrnlni ; that the mention of his name as n possible com promise * candidate was wboll ) unauthorized. "Tho Indiana delegation is emphatically lor Governor Matthew H , " said bo "and will stand by him , first Inst and alwaa , In no- cm dance with the Instructions of the state convention The teports reaching us aio most c'licouragliiK. and wo believe Matthews has elements of strength that will draw delegatcB from all sections 'vl en It Is dem onstrated that other candidates lack the strength to nominate " LABOR'S PLATPORM DEMANDS. Ihei labor organizations have representa tives In the rll ) who are woil.ing with meni- beis of the committee on resolutions to se em e thn adoption of n plank for restilctlou of Immlgiatlim The decimation which they are urging Is practically identical with the Immigration plank of the republican plat foim ilemandinK the exclusion of aliens vho cannot lead and write Representatives of ' organized labor will endeav'or to secutc a hearing from the resolutions committee on that question whc-n that bed ) has been 01- ganlzcd. Another plank urged by the labor men Is for homo rule In the District of Columbia They deslio to have the District commls.- sloneis now appointed by the piesldent elected by the people and the committee In- cicabed from three members to five James L Norrls thp District of Columbia national commltlceman , Is supporting this proposed plank. A committee of three , representing the Amcilcan Industrial union of New- York , is here to have , If possible , several planks Inserted - sorted in the platform Ono declares In favor of "protection of American labor against ruinous and degrading competition of Imported pauper labor and Impoited goods made by cheap foreign labor bj a tariff ta\ equal to at least the dlffeieuce of cost and wages between native and foreign products " Another Is In favor of arbitration for settling labor troubles Another asks for honest money Issued b ) the United States sufficient in amount to tiansact the bublness ot the- country. Mrs Wlnslovv Cranwell of Albanv N Y Is at ono of the hotels representing the Antl Woman Suffrage league She sas "I am here to combat before the committee on res oliitlons anv- attempt on the pait of the woman suffiagists to obtain a suffrage plank In the platform. I shall not appeal and shall not make any argument unless the othci side appears , for I am assured that nothing of that sort Is contemplated In the platform at present. " So far none of the woman But fraglsts have appearejl , although it is said that Mrs. Lllllo Devereaux Blake will be hero , nnd that a clabh similar to that at St Louis will oecut. CALIFORNIA'S BID TOR VOTES. The California railway Issue Is to play Its lart In the convention. A plank , which cn- lorses the action of the Pifty-thlrd con gress In defeating tbe Helllj Pacirtc rallioad 'unding bill , will be presented to the com mittee on resolutions and It" ? Incorporation n the platform asked for. Theio was talk of a plank committing the party against any ilan for funding the Pacific railioad debts o the government , but the California men concluded that the chances of securing suJi a plank were smaller than for the less com- irehonsivc expression Tbo fiftieth con- re ss was contiolled b ) the demociats and most of the votes cast against the Rcllly ! > lll In the ho'ibc were by the demoerats Tor this reason the California ! ! argue that the convention should be w tiling to en dorse the planlc. On the other hand they etppct some op position from eastern member ? because ngipssman Rellly , the author of the bill , was a Pennslv.inla democrat and it was supported by most of the eastein demo crats The eastern gentlemen think the question is one upon which they bhould not bo called to commit themselves The western and southern democrats weie nearly unanimous against the funding bill , ! iowcver , and they seem to bo in contiol o the Callfornlans are very hopeful that thpy will carry their point E-c-Pongrcbsitian Camlnettl nnd Congress man Magulro declare that the adoption of their proposed railroad plank will pro\o a stronger card for the party on the Pacific coast than the free silver declaration. STRONGLY FAVORS CUBA. Congressman William fiulzcr of New York lias prepared a lesolutlon , which ho will present to the platform committee. He has boon promised a hearing by such members of that committee ns have been selected. His lesolutlon Is as follows "Wo extend our sympathy to tbo people of Cub i In their heroic btrugglo against the corrupt nnd cruel political sstem which lias oppressed and Impoverished them , nnd wo look forward with confidence to the day when the new icpubllc shall take Its place among the nations of the earth. The Spanish government Is no longer capable of maintaining Us anthorlt ) In the Island of Cuba or of fulfilling Its tieaty obliga tions , and the destruction of American property In the Island , thu repeated Im prisonment of Ameilcan citlrcns without duo process of law , tbo annihilation of . \meilcan commoicc , the frequent alarms on our coasts , and tbo constant menace to our peace , Impose upon the government of the United States the duty of restoilng older In Cuba We , therefore , favor the prompt Interposition of our armed forces nnd bo- llo\o that a government satisfactory to the Cuban people should bo established as a guaianteo of permanent peace. The fact that war exists In Cuba Is no torious and undeniable , In our Judgment the government of tbo United States should recognize tl.o patriots as belligerents en titled to all the rights accorded by In- tc : national law and usages" The Tammany delegation from Now Yoik nnlved this morning , and there weru some ludlcious features to the arrival. The delegates - gates came In on two trains , and the ma jority grabbed tholr bags and went to their headquarters Some few , however , not be- HuviiiK It possible that the great club would not bo met by a band follow c-d n hand that started across Michigan avenue. Whin they had walked sove'ial blocks by tholt headquarters the ) suddenly found that they had been marching and pei spiring behind n Bland conUngent and they began rapidly to drop out of line very eie-stfallen. There were buvcral state senators and other prom inent men In the delegation The Bland boomers began a systematic campaign of shouting for tbo Missouri man today Hlund'ff bands , followed by marching clubs , besieged the corridors of all tbo hotels , and little crowds visited the head quarters of dlffcicnt delegations and inado their vocal battle cry Their cries vveio botl unique ami picturesque.

" "If Mercer is not retuined , " remarked Captain Palmer , emphatically , "the exposi tion , in my opinion. Is a dead duck. The business men should tmn out to a man to elect him and to refute the lies , , eharges nnd misieprcsentatious that arc being spread .btoad regaidlng him " A C. Tester believed that the woiUingmei- of the city were fully alive to the neccbslt ) of re-electing Meicer , and that all that was left to be done was for the business men to add their efforts. 0 C.

I Klerstead denounced the misrepre sentations that are being made regarding Mercer by his envious rivals , and piedlcted a viitory In todaj's primaries. In the courte of the meeting a dlbcnaalon arose over the light of those who voted for the citl/ens' ticket last fall , Including demo ciats who desire to vote foi Mercer , to ' cast 'ballots at the pilmartcs toliy. The question was discussed at length , and it was the opinion of the majority that In line with a recent decision of Chairman Caitcr of the national republican committee that such could vote If they declared their Intention of voting at the election for the republican concessional nominee This opinion -was concuired in by a number of attornujs , and they btated further that they believed the courts could bo Invoked if an attempt was niado to rule out such votes Every one in the meeting donated one 01 more carriages for service In the various wards In the city , to bo used to convey ills tant voters to the polls Some of the ve hicles will bo elegant private equipages of the moat piomlneut men In the city. or THU WAHUS * .
