Does Not Expect a Bolt. Chairman Hanity’s Views Upon the Chicago Democrat'c Convention. William F. Harrity, chairman of the democratic national committee, in Washington, expressed himself freely regarding the par'y situation: “The Chicago convention will voice the will of the n ajority of the democracy of the country, ”bi began. “I do not expect to see a bolt, nor do I expect to see the silver element in control. If it shall be found to be dominant, speaking as a single delegate, I shall bow to the will of the c .invention and accept the candidate. Of course I am in favor of sound nuney, but the candidate must fit the platform. “The only question before either the St. Louis or Chicago conventions should be that of finance. I have not given up t e belief that the democra y of the country will stand squarely for the principles it has so strongly enunciated, but if the delegates admitted to the convention should decide otherwise T will be among tha first to yield my personal opinions to the will of the ’’-ejoiity. I shall not bolt, nor would I lead a bolting delegation. “I do not believe the delegation from Pennsylvani a will bolt, even it anouta a out silver platform be adopted. Berionsly, I do not expect to see any deadlock at C icago. There will be contesting delegations, just as there has always been in national conventions, butnoplanexistsso far aa I know to override the will of the majority.”- Chicago Chrenicle.
