SILVER MEN HOPEFUL.

Various circumstances are contribut-
ing to make the friends of silver hope
full. The growing sentiment in Europe
in favor of the remonetization OF silver
has had reassuring effect upon them,
while they find encouragement, also, in
the more favorable tendency of public
opinion in this country toward Il re-
moval of the restriction upon the coin
age of silver. The recent democratic
convention of Virginia declared in
favor of unlimited coinage. which will
commit the representatives OF the party
from that state to this policy,
and it is we'll understood that the repre-
sentatives from the southern states gem
orally can be counted upon to favor in
creasing the coinage. In the new
states, particularly in Washington and
Montana, this question is of supreme
Importance, and it is highly probable
that every man elected to congress from
all of these states will be favorable to
more silver.
The silver men are said to expect the
support of the president and secretary
of the treasury. but this can not be re-
garded rs by any means assured. AT
any rate, SO far rs the secretary
of the treasury is concerned his past
position respecting silver does not war
rant the belief that he can be relied
upon to favor any radical departure
from the present policy. Recently re-
