WHAT THE GOLD MEN WILL DO. Rochester, J uly 11. Tho Whitney Hill party arrived from Buffalo this morning and proceeded custward. They were quite as non-committal ns last night on tho proposition ns to whether there will bo a bolt. It Is believed their silence Is caused by a desire first, to know whether thcPopu llsts will endorsed tho platform and ticket. If they do there Is sonio llkllhood of a gold convention which will proclaim it Is a Democratic national conven tion, on tho ground that tho so-called ono was controlled by Populists and declared for their tenets. If tho Pop ulists do not join tho Democrats, then Hill and Whitney believe it will 1x5 wise through a manifesto to say to the people just what tho eastern gold men bellcyo will bo the outcome of election.

Pueulo, Col., July 11. Senator Tel ler last night approved the following Interview for tho Associated Press, after receiving tho numerous tele grams from his silver colleagues re garding a conference, which will probably bo hold at Denver: "What do you think of Mr. Bryan's nomination?" "I consider tho nomination un ex- ceptlonnlly strong one,"- said tho senator. "Bryan Is an able map, of high character, a strong friend of silver, and closo to tho people. Ho will make an excellent president," "Do you think he can sccuro the support of tho silver men who left the St. Louis convention?" "The men who left tho St. Louis convention," replied Mr. Teller, "will make tho silver question paramount to nil others. It is not a question of polities with them, but of principle. T nin not at liberty to sneak for them lit this time, as I havo received sev eral telegrams concerning a conference to be lipid wiiiun n uay or vwo, una asking mo to withhold an expression of their views until after such confer ence.' "I believe you have 6ald, Senator Teller, that If a silver man was nomi nated at uuicago. me irienus 01 suver sliouid act togeuier 111 ma siiiqiorL.'- "Yes." replied the senator, "I said u-n-inust for this camnaluu at least overlook all minor differences nnd put the country on a souna unanciai sys tem that recognizes gold and silver as tho money of the constitution. To that end all the energies or the silver men should be bent.' I am still of the opinion, and hope to seo that done, and If it Is, 1 feel confident of success." Killed by a Posse. The Dalles, Or., July 11. Ed Murphy, alias George Mooney, alias Burdotto Wolf, who killed; Andrew Artmnn, at n sheep camp InGrantCo. recently, wns run down and killed by n posso Monday, July 2, on tho Joh n Day river, near Dayvlllc. Following is an account of tho affair sent by Justice Martin, of Popular. "Artcr the crime, Constable W. B. Crowne, or Dayvlllo, got a warrant and started with a posso In pursuit. They came up with their man on the John Day river on Juno 30. Tho ilrst Intimation they had of his where abouts was a couple of shots from a Winchester fired ut them from tho cover of tho thicket. Hero Murphy kept a posso of 20 men at bay until midnight of tho night of July 2, when ho made a break from cover, and wns killed. Ho had gouo till this time, nearly three days and nights, with the thermometer registering over 100 In the shade during tho day, without food or water, and had not spoken a word, though repeatedly called on to surrender. An Inquest was held, and a verdict of justifiable killing was brought in." Persons Just in from MitchelI,Crook county, say It is generally believed that Murphy or Mooney is uono other than Burdette Wolfe, who killed Birdie Morton, his betrothed sweet heart, near Mount Tabor, October 12, 1802. It Is said that ho admitted to tho two sheophcrders, Andrew Art man and Herman Frost, that he was Wolf, and that afterwards fear ing his secret would bo told, went back and tried to kill them. Ho mur dered Arttnau, but Frost escaped and helped raise tho posse that hunted the murderer down and killed him. People at Mitchell had no description of Wolf, and the only basis for such an opinion is the statement attri buted to him. Smoko La Corona cigar. Children Ory for Pitcher's Oattorla. The demonstration which greeted Bryan was the spontaneous outburst or an enthusiasm kindled by the touch or magnetic eloquence. The star or the brllllantyoung orator from tho plains or Nebraska had burned brightly on tho horizon of tho con vention for two days. There wero several demonstrations In his behalf. Thursday, but this walo was the first opportunity ho had to show himself. Tho audience had been warmed up, and was full of pent-up enthusiasm. The powder magazlno needed but tho spark, and Bryan applied It with tho skill or genius. His very appearance captured tho audience. Dressed liko a plain Westerner, In n black suit of alpaca, ho stood with a smllo playing oyer his handsome, mobile, clear-cut face, while with uplifted hand ho in vited tho waiting thousands. He has a face whoso lines might havo been chiseled rrom alabaster by some master sculptor. Ills mouth Is linn, his eyes bright, his nose Roman, his raven hair is brushed back from his forehead and falls to his collar. With well-modulated voice, which gradually roso in pitch until It pene trated the furthermost limits of tho hall, ho wovo tho spell upon his audi ence, ills speech was a mastcrplcco of fovercnt oratory. With consummate eloquence ho stated tho caso of sliver and parried the arguments of the gold men. Mure Antony never applied 1110 match moro effectively. The convention took tiro with enthusiasm. It crackled as with tho war of flames. Hill was forgotten; all else was forgotten for the moment. Cheers swelled to yells, yells becamo screams. Every chair In tho valley of the Coliseum nnd overy chair In tho vnst wilderness on the hillsides be came a dock on which frantic men und women wero wildly wuvlng handkerchiefs, canes, huts and um brellasanything movable. Some, liko men demented, divested them selves of their coats and flung than high In the air. Tho ovation given him wns second only to 'tho ono bestowed upon the New York senator, Moro than 1000 men wero standing, und tho air was full of papers and hats. Four times tho cheers spent themselves and roso again with the roll of nn advancing wave. Bryan stood wtth a smllo playing on his faco and with uplifted arm motioning for silence. Even tho attention given Tillman and Hill did not equal tho breathless eagerness with which thousands peered forward to watch tho first sentence of this young man, whom many Westerners consider their foremost orator. They wero not disappointed. Ho spoke dc precatingly of himself, - 'But,'- ho added, "tho humblest citizen in the land, when clad In tho armor of righteousness, Is stronger than till tho hosts of error." Bryan said; "Mr Chairman und Gentlemen of the Conventien: I would bo pre luuiptuoiis Indeed to present myself against the distinguished gentleman to whom you havo listened, if this wero but a measuring of ability, but this Is not 11 contest of persons. The humblest citizen In nil tho land, when clnd In the armor of righteous anise, Is stronger thnn all the hosts of error that they can bring. I como to spenk to you In (Icfent-o or 11 cnuso, holy ns tho cause of liberty tho cuuso of hutnn nit y, When this debute Is eon eluded) u motion will bo mode to lay upon the table the resolution offered In commchdattou of the administra tion, and also a resolution In condom nation or the administration. I shall object to bringing this question down to the level or persons. Tho Individual Is hut an atom. He Is born, he acts, he dies; but principles arc eternal, and this has been a con test of principles. "Never before in the history of this count r,y has then ix-cu witnessed such a contest ns that through which wo have passed. Never before In the his tory of American politics has a great Issue been fought out as has this Is sue by yoters themselves. On March I, 18tCi, a few Democrats most of them membcisof congress, Issued un address to the Democrats of tho tui tion, asserting that the money ques tion was the paramount question of the heur: asserting also tho right of tho majority or tho Democratic party to control tho position of tho party on this paramout Issue, concluding with the request that all believers In the freecolungo of silver In the Dem ocratic party should organize and tako charge of antj control the policy or tho Democratic party. "Thrco months later, at Memphis, mi organization was perfected, and tho silver Domocrnts went forth openly ahd boldly nnd courageously proclaiming this belief and declaring that they would crystalllzo In a plat rorm tho declaration which they had made; and then began tho conflict, with azcul approaching thozenl which inspired tho crusaders who followed Peter tho Hermit. Our silver Demo crats went forth-o-victory, until they are assembling now, not to dis cuss, not to debate, but cntor upon tho judgment rendered by tho plain pcoplo of this country. "In this contest, brother has been arrayed against brother, and futher against son. Tho warmest tics of love and acquaintance and association have been disregarded. Old leaders havo been aut asido when they re fused to glvo expression to tho senti ments of those whom thoy laid, and now lenders havo sprung up to give direction to this causa of truth. Thus has tho contest been waged, and wo have assembled hero under as binding and solemn Instructions ns over wero fastened upon representatives of tho pcoplo. Wo do not como ns .individ uals. As Individuals, wo might have been glad to compliment tho gontlc lnuu from Now York (Hill), but wo know that tho pcoplo for whom wo speak would never bo willing to put him In n position whero he could thwart the will of tho Democratic party. I Bay it was not n question of person It was a question of principle; and It Is not with gladness,my friends, that wo find ourselves brought Into conflict with those who nro now ar rayed on tho other side. "Tho gentleman who just preceded mo (Governor Hill) spoke of tho old state of Massachusetts. Let mo as sure him that not one person In all this csuventlon entertains tho least hostility to tho pcoplo of tho state of Massachusetts, but wo stand hero rep scntlng people who aro tho equals be fore the law of tho citizens of the state of Massachusetts. When you como before us and tell us we shall disturb your business Interests, wo re ply that you have dlsturbcdlour bust- to you that you havo mado too limited In Its application tho definition of it business man. Tho man who lsr em ployed for wages Is ns much a busfnesn man ns tho employer, Tho attorney In n country town la ns much u busi ness mamas tho corporation counsel In tho great metropolis. Tho rncr chatlt at tho dross-roads store Is ns much u business man as a merchant or New York. Tho farmer wiio goes forth In the morulngand tolls till day, begins In spring and tolls nil summer, and by tho application or bruin and muscle to tho natural resources or this country creates wealth, Is as much 11 business man as the man who goes upon the board of trade and bets upon the price of grain." Tlio sentiments of the speaker wero cheered again und again, and the gal leries seemed to bo a mass of white, because of tho hankcrchlers waving. Cheers were renewed again and again, nnd It was somo minutes before Mr. Bryan could bo henrd. He proceeded us follews: "The miners who go a thousand reot Into tho earth and bring Torth from their hldlng-plnce precious metnls, to be poured Into the channels of trade, arc as much business men as the finan cial magnates who, In a buck room, coiner tho monov of tho world." The rrcc-sllvcr men at this point broke forth In tremendous cheers. Or dor was finally restored, and Mr. Bryan continuing, said: "Wo como to speak for this broader class of bulsncss men. Ah, my friends, we say not ono word against thoso whollvo upon tho Atlantlo coast; but thoso hardy v pioneers who havo braved all tho dangers of tho wilder ness, who havo mado tho desert to blossom us the rose; thoso pioneers away out thoro, rearing tholr children near to.nnturo's heurt, whero cun min gle their voices with tho voices of tho birds; out thero where thoy havo orccted school houses for tho educa tion of their young, nnd churches whero thoy pralso tholr Crcntor, und cemeteries whero slcop tho nshes or tholr dead, aro as deserving of tho consideration of this party as any peoplo In this country. It Js for thoso that wo speak. Wo do not como as aggressors; our war Is not a war of conquost.
