IA NEW NATIONAL PARTY
Nav Be the Outcome of the Silver
Conference.
Sovereign Talks KeciprOcity--If Laborins
Men Assist In Securing Silver Legis-
lation the silver Men Should
Take Up Labor Reforms.

WASHINGTON, Dec. le--The confer
ence of leading silver men of the coun
try to devise ways and means to con
tinue the fight for free coinage opened
at the headquarters of the Bimetalli'
league Friday. In all the conferree
numbered about 70, representing thu
bone and sinew Of the free silver move
ment, Tho conference is proceeding be
hind closed doors.
The possibilities of new politica
party, with free silver coinage as the
sole plank Of its platform, was one o
the developments OF the days session
The day was devoted to expressions o.
opinions of the representatives OF th'
different states. There was uniformity
of opinion to the effect that the working
people and farmers were dissatisfied
with the course of congress in repeating
the purchasing clause of the Sherman
act.
Sovereign Believes la Reciprocity.
| Senators Jones and Stewart of Nevada
Master Workman Sovereign and Ma
tional Lecturer Whitehead OF tn,
Grangers was among the speakers. Oar
! ing the address of Senator Jones al
interesting colloquy occurred betwee,
him and Mr. Sovereign. The latter sug
gested that when the labor ranks as
sisted towards securing free silver ther'
should be reciprocity by which the sill
yer leaders would assist in securing
labor reforms,
Senator Jones contended th at all labo
questions were merged in the none!
question and that its solution would set
| tie them all. Mr.. Sovereign and tn,
senator at last met on common grount
on agreeing that the silver question
should be made the paramount issue o.
all labor and industrial organizations
The speeches have now ended and til,
conference will turn its attention to 8
program of political work.
Talk o; u National Silver Ticket.
Frequent references were made dur
ing the speeches to the necessity of or
Eanizing silver party, made up of th
elements heretofore gathered under tn
standards OF the Populists, the Nationa
Grange, the Knights Of Labor, th
Farmers Alliance, etc. The tendency
of the conference Is towards new organ
ization. The probability is that the frs
effort of the united forces will be ex
erted to carry the congressional election
next fall. 1t is undecided as yet as t
whether this will be done.by nominatin!
an independent silver candidate for con
gress or By indorsing such Of the candi
dates of the Old parties as have show
by their records that they favor silver
1t is the belief Of those attending til
conference that a national silver tcke
will be put in the field as a result of tn
present meeting and of the victories
hopes to achieve in the congressional
election.
