WASHINGTON. d. c.. Juiy 1G.-The adoption
Of the free and unlimited coinage plank in the
Ohio platform causes some uneasiness among
Democrats here who are afraid that the silver
question may be made an oyershadowing issue
in the National campaign
A tremendous effort was made to prevent
the adoption Of that plank. Cleveland's anti
silver letter and other documents and argu-
ments against free coinage being extensively
circulated in the State. 1t is believed, how
ever. that it will increase the chances Ok
Campbells election as it will give him tho
support of the free coinage men who would
otherwise have voted with the third party.
The Peoples Party Convention will be held
about the llth of August. and strong ticker
is expected TO be put in the field. Men IN
sympathy with the third party movement say
that the fact Of the Democrats coming out
for free coinage will hurt the independent
movement some in the State this fall. but
that their candidate will, nevertheless. Get a
strong vote Il is expected that whatever this
vote is it will come largely from the Repubii-
cHhs but the criticism Of the Alliance policies
by young Thurman will offend some Alliance
Democrats.
The Peoples party will devote their greatest
efforts 10 secure the defeat OF Sherman.
