Silver Arguments.

DENVER, October 22.-When approached
yesterday for his views on the proposed
silver convention to be held in Denver, ex-
Governor Grant declined to express them,
As the date Of the convention had not been
fixed. and it was too long beforehand to
make statements supposed to have
q bearing upon the matter. At the
present time he believed no hos
tile legislation could be carried
through Congress this winter, and
that the Bland silver law would not be
thrown out, because the Southern and
Western influence in the House would
prove too strong for the Eastern men. he
thought that the most the silver men could
do at the coming session would be to estao-
lish Bureau of Information at Washing
ton, and disseminate silver literature among
Congressman, so as to convince them by
solid argument of the advantages OF the ex-
tension of silver coinage
