NATIONAL SILVER PARTY
Probabilities Of a New Party Entering

SILVER MEN CONFERRlNG
They Are Gathered In Washington
From All over the United states
to Discuss tho Best Means for

WASHINGTON, Dec. ia conference OF
the leading silver men of the country. to
devise ways for continuing the fight for

present are Generals Weaver and Field,

and Moreton Frcwen. the British author
ity ON bi-metallisiu. Grand Master Work.
man Sovereign is expected later. About
30 in all are present, representing the
bone and sincw of the silver movement.
General Weaver says tho conference will
probably last several days and be very
thorough canvass of the situation. Tho
conference is being held with closed doors.
The possibilities of a new political party
with silver coinage as the solo plank I'm
the platform was among the Developments
OF the days secret session of silver lead
ers. The day was devoted to expressions
Of opinion by representatives of the differ
cnt states. They were uniformly TO the
effect that tho working people aud the
farmers are dissatisfied with tho course
of congress IN repeating the purchase
clause Of the Sherman act. Senators
Jones and Stewart. Master Workman
Sovereign of tho Knights of Labor and
National Lecturer Whitehead of tho
Grange, were among the speakers this aft
ernoon. During tho address of
Senator Jones an interesting col
loquy occurred between him and
Master Workman Sovereign. Tho
latter suggested that when the labor
ranks had assisted toward securing free
silver, there should be reciprocity by
which tho silver leaders would assis. in
securing labor reforms. Jones contendcd
that all labor questions were merged In
the money question, and ITS solution
would settle them all. Sovereign and tho
senator at las, met on common ground IL,
agreeing that tho silver question should
he made the paramount issue of all labor
and industrial organizations.
Frequent references were made during
the speeches to-day To the necessity of
organizing n silver party, made up Of cle-
ments heretofore gathered under tho
standards OF the populists, national
grange. Knights of Labor. farmers
alliance, etc. The tendency of the con-
ference is towards this new organization.
The probability is tho first effort Of tho
united forces will be cxerted TO carry tho
congressional elections next fall. II is
undecided whether this will be done by
nominating independent silver candidates
| for congress or by endorsing such candi-
dates of the old parties as have shown by
their records that they favor silver. The
belief of those attending the conference is
that national ticket will be put in the
field. as the result Of tho present meeting
and of the victories they hope to achieve
in the congressional elections. Senator
Jones said at tho close OF the days con.
ference that this new national party was
among the strong probabilities Of tho
meeting.

probably none was ever written. Doubt
less Blaine thought tho standing instruc-
tions and usages OF tho legation of which
then had charge, especially Sec
retary Bayard's dispatch TO Minister
Merrill Of July Il, 1857. were sufficient for
my guidance, thus throwing on tho Amer
lean representatives at Honolulu the re-
sponsibility of dealing with the facts and
emergencies as TO which they could Judge
more accurately than Washington Of
tlcials. All the official dispatches received
by me during my residence in Honolulu
are duly numbered and on file in the lega-
tion at Honolulu"
WASHINGTON, Dec. lS.-There was pub
lished this morning dispatch addressed
by Minister Stevens from Honolulu to
Secretary Blaine, dated March (,
1882, in which Stevens asks for
instructions in the event OF n
revolution movement. This dispatch Is
printed In the official Hawaiian corre
spondcncc and is not new. Tho dispatches
referred 10 an entirely different rcvolu-
tion from the one which has boon effected.
The revolution which Stevens nppre-
hended was threatened by Robert Wilcox,
