4 WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. H.,
Indications already point to an ef-
J fort to consolidate the twenty or
more representatives. of the Inde-
pendents or Greenbackers into a
third party organization, to co.ope-
rate for. the exercise of the balance
of power between the regular DEM
ocrats and Republicans. The
chances, however, are that most of
the Greenbackers will usually act
with the Democrats on
the ground of substantial
accord in financial views and pur-
poses. 1t is not impossible, how
ever, that enough of these Inde-
pendents may hold separate eau
Gus to dictate the selection Of
Speaker and other officers of the
House. Prominent Greenback
leaders urge that their only hope
of success lies in new political
organization, especially as the re-
cent elections show that the East
repudates them, and their availa-
BILE allegiance must be with the
West.

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-There is
some apprehension that parties

speculation in gold. 1t is suggested
that, in order to prevent this, Sec
