adjourned, having referred the formation
of a platform to subcommittee of six,
which will report tomorrow morning.
There will be no silver plank in the plat

national or State. gold. silver or paper. it
should be so regulated and guarded by
governmental action. or by wise and care
full laws, that no one can be deluded as to
the certainty and stability of its value.
Every dollar put into the hands of the
people should be of the same intrinsic
value or purchasing power. With this
condition absolutely guarante teed. both gold
and silver can be safely utilized upon
equal terms in the adjustment of our cur
rency."
The above is an excerpt from Cleveland's
letter of acceptance. and typewriter
copy is being passed about among Con-
gressmen by the silver men. Gentlemen
like Dockery and Blanchard of Louisiana
say the Presidents message ana his letter
of acceptance do not jibe; that the letter
is much more favorable to silver than the
message.

HINTS OF, DISASTER.
Already Has Cleveland Divided

The Issue Lies Between the Presi.

Special to THE MORNING CALL.

CINCINNATI. Aug. 9.-Will the Democ-
racy OF Ohio stand by President Cleve-
land, or by the platform on which he was
elected2 That is the question to be solved
within the next thirty-sX hours, and there
is no man in or out of Ohio who can pre-
dict the results with confident accuracy
Half a dozen candidates are in the field,
the last Democratic national platform, and
who is a bid free silver coinage man, in
the lead. Neal has declared that he will
abide by the Chicago platform. and his
followers are Democrats OF the unterrified
stamp. WHO will stick to him as long as
there is show of his nomination. Ex-
Governor Campbell and his friends make no
denial of the fact that they are with the
administration and that they are out to
beat Neal. Campbell himself will not be
candidate. but it is said he will support
Charles w. Baker of Cincinnati. A lively
fight Is expected in the convention for all
Of the Offices. as plenty of candidates are
seeking them.
Some members Of the platform commit

dents message is very striking d0cu-
ment and goes straight to the root OF the
disquiet or stagnation existing in America.
Assuming that Congress will hasten to
repeal the Sherman act, it perhaps is as
well, in the interest of financial stability
everywhere, that the disastrous experience
has been gained.
The Daily Graphic says: Yesterdays
proceedings in the United States Congress
and the House of Commons ought to be
read side by side. Cleveland's striking
picture of the evil wrought by free silver
in the United States constitutes an effec-
tive answer to Chaplin'S economic fallaces.
1t passes human comprehension that, in
the face of change of policy in the
United States. English bimeta!lIsts should
advocate return to free silver IN India.
The Times says: 1t may perhaps be
thought that the President. as the head of
his party. and on ths eve of party fight.
would not likely undertake case for ac-
tion which his party cOntemplates. But it
will be difficult to convict him of exaggera-
ti0n in the face of the daily returns of
American prices and exchanges. No per-
manenr Improvement can be looked for
until Congress abandons the sisyphean
talk of attempting to maintain an artificial
ratio between silver and gold.
1t is one of the mysteries of politics how
a comparatively small body of men has
succeeded in debating the financial policy
of great nation for its own ends. Presi-
dent Cleveland manifestlv is doing every
thing possible to terminate the evil, but
the silver interest is certain to make
tough fight. 1t is not easy TO predict the
precise issue of the struggle.
The Post says: America cannot well
stop at the mere repeal of the Sherman
act The Post throws out no suggestion.
but some action is certainly necessary. 1t
is probable the problem which the United
States has 10 solve may lead, not to BIZ
metalism. but to the more mature and un-
biased consideration of the possible uses
of silver. AS part of the worlds cur
rency the metal cannot be demonetiZed
with safety. and if through America some
method for its more extended employment
is devised. the benefits to the world would
be of supreme importance.

the Sherman law as sincere, nor is it tc
them question of the first Importance.
They look upon 1t as fight between
the gold men and the bimetallists, while
they would not be willing to see the pres
ent laws relating to coinage uncondition-
ally repealed. What they want first of all
is the free coinage of silver. Thati is the
main question"
The anti-slver men have been led to ex-
pect by the expressions Of the silver men
with whom they have conferred regarding
the proposed agreement for prompt dis
cusson of the question that no fiibuster-
ing will be countenanced. There may be
an attempt" said Representative Harter,
one of the leading anti-silverites, this
morning, ION the part Of few radical sill
YER advocates to delay the inevitable, SIM
ply for delay. If their opposition shall
prove to be purely for obstructive pur-
loses there will be no trouble in securing
the signatures of large majority Of the
Democrats to request from the Commit
lee on Rules to report closure"

DUBLIN, Aug. ga convention of the
Parnelite section of the Irish Parliam en-
tary party was held in this city to-day.
Resolutions were adopted declaring that

the bill impossible Of acceptance by the

ENGLAND IS ALARMED.
Cannot Stand the Repeal of the
Sherman Act.

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-The Sun says:
Several exceedingly interesting cablegrams
from London were received in Wall street
yesterday. They were not made public.
nor are they ever likely to be. They were
sent by London banking houses of the
highest repute to their correspondents here,
and were as confidential as they were i'm

conveyed and inquiries made by these
London bankers. it can be stated that the
English have become alarmed at the pros
pecI of the repeal of the Sherman silver
law and members of the cabinet are dis
cussing the possibility of informally max.
ing a proposition to the United States
that, if 1t will continue to purchase
silver under the act Of 1890. the
Indian Government will reopen its mints

SENATORS IN COUNCIL.
Silver Men Will Act Independently
of Party Lines.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Nearly every
Democratic Senator was present at the
party caucus this morning to decide, if
possible. on the plans for party action rel
etive to silver discussion. The meeting
developed as wide divergence of views
as that between the wings Of the party on
free silver coinage. and when the time for
the Senate to assemble arrived nothing
had been accomplished. and an adjourn
ment was taken till after the Senate ad-
journed for the day.
After two hours session the caucus ad-
journed without reaching a conclusion as
to the line of policy. There was a strong
difference of opinion on the silver question,
and the caucus adjourned to meet again in
few days. Meanwhile the subject of
silver repeal will not figure in the Senate.
for the purpose is 10 adjourn from tenor
row until Monday.
The free-silver Democrats at once held
conferences with free-slver Republicans
and the result was soon evident. for when
the Senate met the latter vo ed with the
Democrats for an adjournment of the
Senate without the transaction OF busi-
ness. The caucus then imm ediately re-
assem- bled.
Immediately after the adjournment Of
the caucus German called into consultation
Senators Blackburn. Gray, Ransom.
Voorhees, ana Cockrel. and although
German had not made his appointments at
the time of the consultation. their presence
gave color to the expectation that they
would be named as members of the caucus
committee Tomorrow.
Shortly after the caucus adjourned the
Senate met, and without transacting any
business adjourned till tomorrow on
motion Of German. The ayes and noes
were demanded by Plat, and resulted 4S

licans, PETER P0p.) of Kansas voting
with them, and Kyle Pop.) of South
Dakota voting with the Democrats. The

GOLD AND SILVER.
Substantial Advance in the Price of
the White Metal.

NEW YORK, Aug 9.-One singular feat
ure in connection with the reception of the
Presidents message here yesterday was
an increase In the price of silver, which
was quoted after the message was pub
lished at "a bid and offered at 75A. Brok-
ers recalled the fact that on June 80, when

extra session of Congress, silver sold at 81

was exceedingly dull. almost as dull as be-
fore the receipt of the message.

ceived at the treasury, is upward. 1t was

1000 ounces at 1915. The same price
was rendered for the remainder. The
