Chicago, July a. — Hiun<t. to a o*r- -
tain extent, i« liiu McKinley of the I
present situation. At Xt. Bouis it i
was McK nicy against the fl«*l•!. At i
Chicago in- lay it is tiie Belli against 1
island. The other candidates recog
nize that Bland is thn man most to be
feared, that with Bland defeated the
fight is a more even one for all the
Olliers. The first effort of the opposi
tion. therefore, will be to divide the
Bland vote and prevent him from
reaching thn nomination. Knowing
that it is dittlr.ili to make combina
tions of this kind that will be effec
live, the Bland managers are confi
dent They point oat that Bland Is
the only candidate who has verv much
of a backing. They claim for him iWO
votes, disti ibuled in the South and
Middle West. Bike McKinley, he lias
been quietly bunting delegates while
his rivals were preparing to load their
guns.
Besides all this, according to the
Bland shooters,there are several good
reasons why Bland, of ali tnen, should
be selected as the candidate to stand
on a silver nlatform. There is no
Jh-mocral before the country to-day,
they say. who so thoroughly stands
for the silver Idea as decs he. For
years he has talked and labored for
silver, lie was the author of the law
which gave the country the Bland
silver dollar and he fought to the very
lust to save sliver from its enemies
end in event it from being dropped us
| > one of ilia money metals. In add I lion
to all Hus, he is of lue people lie le
a sou of die soil, lie owns and work*
a farm
Iiland'* most formidable rival a*
things look to-day 1* Holes of Iowa.
Against him is the fact that only quite
recently ha* he become a convert to
free silver. It was not so very long
ago tiiat he was regarded a* a staunch
sound money man and he gave no
Countenance to the silver talk. He
will go into the convention with the
bucking of his own Htate and some
other votes which cannot yet he very
definitely placed. Unless the tide set*
so overwhelmingly in favor of Illaud
that a contest is only a waste of time,
be will be able to make things inter
esting for tiie Mis.niri farmer. In
fact, ft is predicted tiiat tne fight be
tween these two candidates may be
come so warm that it will prevent
either from wlnniug the prize and
leave the road clear to some other
man who will start in tiie race heav
ily handicapped.
liolh men are playing for the aup
port and inflnenco of Governor Alt
gcld, the man who will probably be
the most interesting personage of this
convention, and who threatens to he
Its Warwick playing the role of the
president maker. Altgcld i* said to
oe for Bland and opposed to Holes,
but no one here can learn that he lias
pledged himself or that be has ex
pressed an open preference. The
probabilities are tiiat his inclinations
lean toward Iiland and he would he
glad to sue Hole*'ambition* thwarted
for purely personal reasons During
the great railroad strike* in Illinois
Aitgeid’s course occa*ioned consider
able adverse criticism, to put it
mildly, and Governor Hole* did not
hesitate to freely and publicly express
his opiuion of his fellow governor.
Altgeld remembers t hat little iuciduut.
The candidacy cf Senator liiackburn
of Kentucky. ex-Governor IVnnoyer
cf Oregon and (* vernor Matthews of
Indiana are all a* vet immature
Blackburn has the Kentucky deiega
tion beh'nd him; Pennoyer can doubt

and the Indiana men will come here
prepared to work for Matthews if they
think they see a chance for hi* sue
cess. One of these men u itloncd
might, in certain contingeuc e*, be
the nominee of t.he convention, but
those conditions are not likely to
arise.
AHKeB'l Will Nut Take It.
( iik aiio, July 3.—Governor Altpeld
said that hr would not accept the tern
poiary chairmanship of the Demo
cratic convention in case lie should te

lie said. "A presiding officer, if he is

MR. BLACKBURN’S VIEWS.
The Kentnrk? Candidate Talks About
the Situation.
CntCAOo. Julv .1 —A suggestion by
Governor Altgcld that the national
convention c><u!d be made a one day
affair, and should so be tuatle I v the
c introlllng element, whs not r, j..ed
with much favor tins morning either
by the well known leader* who are
here or by the friends of the many
candidates.
Senator Blackburn of Kentucky
said: “While I don’t suggest or ap
prove delay In this matter. 1 must say
tlmt I am utterly opposed to any gag
law or rushing. Bet this convention
lie one marked bv fairness We have
nothing to lose and much to gain, last
•is give everybody a fair bearing and
then act according to our best judg
ments. I tliink the cause of silver
would he aided by such action, and
Hint the cry of gag rule and unfair
ness could not be raUed, no matter
what tiie result."
Asked wliat his views were upon
the question of m iking Senator II ill
of Now York chairman, Blackburn
Maid: “Senutor Hill would undoubt
edly make a very impartial chairman,
hut lie is allied with the gold force*,
and it would be a roundabout way of
procedure for us to torn over to the
minority of the convention its organ
ization. it Is not to he supposed that
the majority are going to Jeopardize
their own work and chance* As for
Governor Altgeld, 1 never understood
that lie was a candidate for temporary
chairman. ”
“Then you do not believe that Sen
ator Hill will be chairman of the tem
porary organization, even by a con
junction of gold voter and such silver
delegates us favor him?”
“No. Mark thi*," and the Senator
become emphatic, using forcible gest
ures to accentuate Ids point; “this
convention is in control of the silver
men. That Is a fact beyond any ques
tion of doubt. On every question the
standing of the majority will be to aid
llieir movement. Now, if the gold
.. l _ -_A-..1 St... ...1,1_S
think of giving us control of the tom*
porarjr organization. That would be
deemed foolish by them, and 1 don't
believe tlmt they will expect us to do
It Anyway, whether they do or not,
we shall not act in that way. A sil
ver man will wield the gavel.”
"Whom have you heard mentioned?"
•‘Nobody with any definiteness. I
can't tell you. There are many candi
date,-, and I have not committed my
self to any of them. Jones of Arkan
sas would be a good man. Now, re
ferring to the matter of the pushing
through of our plans in a hurry. 1
have talked with several leaders, and
we are not at all In favor of the least
bit of hurry. Kvery man in the con
vention or everv movement should
have a fair and Impartial hearing.
Then we can go before the people
with clean hands and ask their ap
proval. 1 do not agree with Governor
Altgeld that there is any jeopardy in
such a course to our cause."
Senator Blackburn was naturally
rather coy ubout saying anything
about Presidential candidates or their
chances, as his own constituency was
booming him this morning. "1 have
beard," lie said, "that Governor Alt
geld has decided to assist Mr. Bland,
but it is u little early yet to talk of
chances."
A CIRCULAR FOR BLAND.
Missourians IJlMemlnsts a Pamphlet
I.nulling Their Csnitlilste.
Chicago. July 3.—The Missouri del
egation lias prrnared for general cir
culation a long pamphlet setting
forth Bland's claims. It hoi la that
the silver question is the paramount
one and that Bland would be the ideal
candidate on that issue. His Demo
cratic record and his public career are
dwelt upon at great length and his
title "Silver Dick,” declared a badge
of honor. His private life is lauded
and the objection that he came from
a slave stale is denounced. In closiug
it says: "For the reasons state I above
it U our conv etion tlmt Bland should
be nomiuutod. Circumstances have
conspired to his uomination as the
best and wisest possible. If nomi
nated he will be e.ected. As presi
dent he will ba Democratic in the
highest ami best sense of the term.
Although self-reliant, fearless, and
possessed of strong convictions,
lie would not only be will

ing him, and gave them early au
dience.
When asked as to the status of the
temporary chairmanship before be
bad met the silverites, Mr. ilarrity
said that he had no information to
give out on that question. “I can
only say,” he added, “that ao far aa I
am concerned, 1 have no man fur the
place. Whether matter will be har
monised with the silver men or what
the outcome wit I be it is as yet entire
ly too esrly to st'empt to suy. 1 have

diately Into executive aesaiou with a
cordon of guards at the various, doors.
The silver committee, consisting of
Henator* Jones, Daniel and Turpie,
and Governors A1 /eld and Htone,
were admitted and were c'oseted with
the executive committee for an hour
and a half when the silver men with
drew, leaving the national committee
men to continue their conference.
While there was no acrimony on either
aide, the conversation was very earn
est. There were no formal s >eeche»,

character of a general con vernation,

log fire in the country,” said one of
the participants after it had closed.
The silver man first asked that it
should lie definitely understood that
they did not come as the representa
tives of tiie silver committee, but as
delegates representing the majority of

chairman, seats for delegates and
alternates, procedure in regurd to
contesting delegations and the ar
rangement of the temporary roll call.
Referring to the temporary roll call,
the members of the executive commit
tee intimated thut they would expect

tions' committee hud done on all pre
vious occasions and make the tempo
rary roll call. Attention was called to
the fact that there had so far been no
notice of contest -xcept in the one in
stance of Nehrask. . The sliver men
did not indieate whether this would
be satisfactory.
Chairman liarrity stated that he had
had no opportunity for conference
with other members of the national

MRS. STOWE NO MORE.
Tbe Aged Author of 'T'acle Tom’* Cubin''
(loot to Rout.
Haistko!;!>, Conn.. July 8. — Mrt
Harriet Beecher Stowe, the venerable
author, was stricken with congestion
of the brain and paralysis yesterday
ufternuon and at onee became un
conscious. After lingering u 11 night
and this morning in a comatose con
dition she diet, at noon Members of
her family were at her bedside.
Harriet lieecher Stowe, sixth child
of Dr. Lyman lieecher, was horn at
Litchfield, Conn., June 14, MIL Fol
lowing tier mother’s death, which oc
curred when she was 4 years old, the
f ir) was taken by relatives at (lull
ord. Conn., and there trained in
needlework, extracts from South's
“Isa ah," Buchanan's “Researches In
Asia," "Bishop Heber’s Life," "Dr.
Johnson's Works," the liible, the
Episcopal prater books and hymns
and poems. When she was a bright
lU-year-old pupil ut the Litchfield
academy she “read everything she
could lay her hands on, sewed and
knit diligently and wrote composi
tions."
Miss Beecher prepared herself as an
Instructor in drawing and painting,
and attended her sister's school.
Three years more were passed in Bos
ton, (iuUford and Hartford, and then
the sisters, with their father and his
family, went to Cincinnati, Ohio,
where Dr. Beecher had accepted the
presidency of Lane Ttiedloglcal sem
inary.
The subject of slavery wus brought
to Miss Beecher's attention by a trip
into Kentucky in I8M, when she vis
ited an estate that afterward figured
as that of Colonel Shelby in “Uncle
Tom’s Cabin." Three years later sh«
was married to I’rofessor Calvin E.
Stowe, who held the chair of aaored
literature in the institution of which
tier father was pre Ident Her liter
ary career was now fairly begun, and
sue wrote numerous sketches and
stories for the Western Maga line and
the New' York Evangelist, har bus
band being abuint in Europe the
wiille. She also assisted her brother,
Henry Ward lieecher. with the editor
rsIlllJ Ul i lie « luuiiiimu u»uy im;ui iibi.
Mr*. Stowe's attitude toward slavery
was not one of uncompromising hos
tility at this time. In lH3ii she re
ceived Into her family a colored girl
who hud escaped from slavery, and
when complications ensued Professor
Stowe and Henry Ward Boucher drove
the colored girl In a covered wagon up
the country to a place of safety.
Professor Stowe accepted a chair at
Bowdoin college, Brunswick, Me., and
while his wife was there with him
she received a letter from her lister
inlaw, Mrs. Edward Beecher, one
passage of which read as follows:
“Now Hattie, If 1 could use a peu like
you can, I would write something
that would make the whole nation
fee I what an accursed thing slavery
U."
Mrs Stowe read the letter aloud in
the family circle and \sld: “1 will
write something. 1 will if I live.”
That was the Genesis of “Uncle
Tom's Cabin.” The first chapter was
sent to the National Era, a weekly
anti-slavery paper, of which James (i.
Whittier was one of the editors, In
April, 1851. The serial publication of
the story was completed a year later.
Mrs. Stowe received for it 8300. It
was published in book form by John
P. Jewett of Boston, Mass., and 3,0o0
copies of the first edition of 5.000 were
solti in one day. Oue hundred and
twenty editions were disposed of in a
year, and Mrs. Stowes receipts In
royalties amounted to 810,000.
Twelve editions of the great work
were printed in London in Io52, and
v. thin u year no le*> than eighteen
publishing houses were engaged in
supplying the demand which had set
in. Sampson Low, the English pub
lisher, has estimated the sale of the
book In Great Britain at 1,500,000
copies. Translations were made into
Armenian, Bohemian, Danish, Dutch,
E.nnish, Flemish, French, Germau,
Hungarian, Illyrian, Italian, Polish,
Portuguese, modern Greek, Russian,
Servian. Wallachian and Welsh.
Innumerable dramatizations of
“Uncle Tom's Cabin” have been pro
duced and by universal concensus of
opinion it is the most successful vol
ume of the oeutury.
Among Mrs. Stowe’s other works
may be mentioned "The Key to ‘Un
de Tom's Cabin,.Dick; a Tale of
the Great Dismal Swamp,” “The Min
ister's Wooing” and "Pink and White
Tyranny.” In all, she published
tbirtv-two volumes.

place Boies’ vote 100 below him, and
declare that no other candidate bus
over seventy-live votes. It is held
that Bland is so much in the lead that
the declaration of Illinois for him
would insure bis nomination. It is
said that more than one Illinois dele
gate has pledged himself for Bland.
“If you can find out what Altgeld is

“Altgeld is going to be aliout the big
gest man in this convention. lie holds
the key; if he had been born In this
country he would be nominated for
firesiderit. There is not any doubt of
t. Altgeld meets the present peculiar
conditions exactly.”
"Colonel, what will move Altgeld In
the choice of a presidential candi
date?” was asked. “Will he be for the
man whom he thinks will most
strengtht-ii thu Democratic Mtate tick
st in Illinois'.'"
"No, 1 don't think that will move
him. Altgeld already feels that there
isn't the slightest doubt of his elec
tion. lie is so sure of it, he kuows it.
I have talked with men who have
•een Altgeld sioce the Peoria conven
tion, and they suy that Altgeld feels
as certain of bis election as he would
if the returns were in. I can't say
what will move him to throw his in
fluence for any particular candidate,
but it is safe to say that the man Alt
geld is for will be the nominee. If I
was a candidate, und 1 knew Altgeld
wauled un orange, I'd Und some way
to get the orutige into Altgeld's
pocket."
"You think Altgeld's forty -eight
votes from Illinois will determine the
nomination ?*'
“Altgeld's influence for a candidate
means a good dcul more than the
forty-eight Illinois votes, lie is going

BOIES TO WHITNEY.
Vigorous or tho Caaoo of
Silver.
VVATr.ni.oo. la., July 1. -Ex-Gov
ernor Holes has made public this let
ter, replying to a message from a New
York paper concerning the Whitney
declaration:
“Mr. Whitney la entirely right in
his conclusion that there is no disposi
tion on the part of those who will
represent the silver sentiment of the
Mouth and West iu the Chicago con
vention to further discuss the matter
at issue with men whose views are
diametrically opposite to their own
on the currency question.
“He is entire'y correct in his con
clusion that it la now too late to ac
complish any practical results by a
discussion of that character. Through
out Hie Mouth and West that discus
sion has been extended and thorough,
and the view* expressed by Mr. Whit
ney have been put forward by many
people who entertain them, and they
have been fullv considered and
weighed, and, after all of this, the
judgment of an overwhelming ma
jority of the party in these sections la
evidenced by the class of delegates
who have been ciiosen to represent It
in the Chicago convention. Not ona
of those tnen can now disregard the
known sentiment of those who se
lected him without betraying the
IriiMt tn him nnd tint, nnti n f
them, in my Judgment, will ever do so.
"Mr. Whitney is entirely wrong In
assuming that free silver Dsinocruts
are forsaking the fundamental princi
ples of Democracy, or what lie terms
sound money Democrats are defending
those principles In their endeavor to
commit their party to gold monomet
allism. Until the Republican party
met in Nt. Louis a few days since
there was never a line written in a
national platform of either of the
great parties tnal justifies the claim
that one or the other of these parties
was committed to that doctrine. Over
mid over again the Democratic party,
in national convention assembled, has
put Itself on record in the clearest and
most comprehensive language possible
to use, in favor of bimetallism, in
favor of the restoration of silver to its
place in our financial system as
standard mouM'. aud never for a mo
ment in the i ongress of the United
Mates bus a majority, or anything
like a majority, of the representatives
of that party wavered in their devo
tion to the principles so clearly enun
ciated in the parly platforms. To as
sume now that adherence to that prin
ciple is abandonment of an established
doctrine of the party is to defy his
tory uuil ignore the most plainly writ
ten of all its declarations of policy.
"It is useless to claim that a tender
of the good offices of the parly to se
cure an international agreement for
the free coinage of silver is the fulfill
ment of its pledges so often made in
this respect. To sincere believers in
b'metaliism for the United States, an
ofTcr of this character is little, If any
thing. less than unqualified violation
of a sacred pledge by a great political
organization. If tills is all that Mr.
Wbltnev, aud those who think with
him, »n offer, it will be vastly better
to offer nothing.
"When Mr. Whitney says the main
tenance of our present gold standard
is essential to the preservation of our
national credit and redemption of our
public pledges he ignores a great truth
of which he cannot be ignorant. He
knows there is not a single obligation
of this government outstanding to-day
that, by its terms is payable in gold
alone and knows that right upon the
face of the great bulk of the bonds of
the government It is written in sub
stance tiiat they are payable in coin
of the United States of the standard
weight and fineness of its coins before
silver was demonetized,, and that
therefore, by their own express
terms they are payable In our
present silver dollars, if the govern
ment elects to so pay them. It issince
the most of these obligations were is
sued that silver has been demonetized,
whereby, if they are to he paid in
gold alone, their value has been
iloubl d, and the burden of the great
industrial classes, who must provide
for their payment, has been increased
two-fold.
"To talk about a violation of na
tional honor, when no party In the
nation has ever suggested its failure
in the least degree to meet every ob
the strict letter of the contract it
made, has, to say the least, a strange
sound to those who heard the uni
versal cry of distress, occasioned, as
they believe, by doubling the pur
chasing power of money and cutting
in twain the market price of the pro
ducts of labor If to undo what law
has done to add to tne burden of those
toiling millions i f this nation and
double the fortunes of the rich within
it is to disrupt the Dcinoerrtic party
disruption must come.”
