Tie kansas SlLVERITEs.

TOPEKA, kau., Oct. 6.-The Kansas
delegates TO the St. Louis bimetallic conf
vention have returned. They say that the
effect of the convention will be to impress
the country favorably III regard to silver,
and fiually to bring together the forces OF
the west and the south. They think that
it will also bolster up the silver men In
Washington. but they do not think it will
have any effect on the result. They be-
lieve that the purchasing clause OF the
Sherman act VIII be uuconditionaiiy re-
Dealed, and say that this opinion is shared
by the delegates from other states.
To reporter Governor Lewelling said
that while there was possibility that the
sentiment manifested at the convention
might influence enough senators to stand
out and force compromise, be bad no
hopes OF such result. He believed that the
voorhees, bill would become law.
Within ninety days thereafter there
would be II convention of all the forces OPP
posed to the single standard held, and a
new party formed by realignment OF
party lines, which would amount to
political division of the west and south
against the east. He said that it was
matter of no consequence to the Dopullsts
toy what name the new party should De
known. The populists, he said, were after
results, not political honors or glory. The
passage of a compromise measure by the
present congress, he said, would prevent
for d time the breaking up OF the old
parties and delay the formation OF the
proposed new party, but, no matter what
happened, n new party would be organized
sooner or later.
