Tho silver states viii Poll an Almost Solid
Vote Against Harrison and Cleveland,
Claims Chairman Taubeneck.
ST.. LOUIS, June 27.-H. IL. Taubes
neck, the chairman of the Peoples party
national executive committee, was
seen Sunday at the committees head
quarters in this city and questioned re-
garding the party's prospects Said he;
"You can rest assuredlthnJ our nutional
convention will be big concern. 1t
will be deliberativo body, not influ'
enced by federal office-holders or those
who expect federal Offices"
Regarding the platforms adopted at
Minneapolis and Chicago Mr.. Taubcneck
said that so far as he could see they
were with the exception of the tariff
planlxs identical. AS to the attitude
the silver producing states would prob
ably take during the coming campaign
Mr. TaubeneclS said: "From the COR
respondence 1 am receiving specially
from Colorado, they say that neither
Harrison nor Cleveland can poll over
per cent. of their respective party vote.
That holds true in every other mining
state. Colorado has 40, 900 voters enrolled
to vote for no man or party unless they
favor an unlimited coinage of silver, and
my opinion is that those people mean
just exactly what they say The demo-
cratic delegates from Colorado at the
Chicago convention have called con-
vention of democrats for Colorado. l
think they will declare both the nomi-
nee and platform at Chicago as undemo-
cratic, repudiate it and elect delegates
to confer with the Peoples party at
Omaha.
'Thcy will also call on every silver
state to do the same, and think it will
be done. The executive committee of
the bimetallic leagues is in session now,
and from information 1 have it will de-
clare both the old parties as enemies to
bimetallism, and issue call to the free
silver clubs and bimetallic leagues to
send delegates to Omaha and confer
with the Peoples party.
'With the proper nominations and
with good canvass we will sweep the
south and the west Everything south
of the Ohio and everything west of the
Mississippi river"
"What is the voting strength of your
party and the different industrial or
ganizations which took part in the Feb
ruary conference?"
"That is not an easy task to get at,
because some of the organizations will
admit members who are not eligible to
vote; but from the best estimates made
! from the roll books of the different or
CARNATIONS last February, we have be-
tween 10000 900 and 7,OOO 600 voters that
belong to the different organizations"
| OMAHA, July 27.-This week will be o
very busy one for the local committee
having in charge the arrangements for
the independent national convention.
Much remains to be done before all will
be ready for the coming crowd, al
though the plans have all been laid.

the hall for the convention, will seat
II, 900 people aside from the delegates.
The chairs will be placed in position
this week. On the speakers desk will
be accommodations for 800 persons.
