SILVER AND LABOR.
An EFFORT BEING MADE TO BRING
ABOUT 4 UNION
Jones Is to Fire the West-Don Cameron
Undertakes to Enthuse the Eastern
Labor Element-Other Notes.

Washington, November 2I-(Special. THE
story which is current in the west that
Senator Jones. of Nevada and Senator Don
Cameron. of Pennsylvania, are proceeding
to the organization of a new poltlcai par
ty is causing considerable talk among
politicians i'm Washington. 1t is said that
the plan and scope of the new party, as
understood by the politicians, reveals the
possibility of an organization OF cohsluer-
able strength. which. while not powerful
enough to pose really dangerous rival
to the old parties, would prove an infuehtlai
element in the next campaign TO the ca
tent OF drawing from the democratic ana
republican following TO degree which
might weaken them. That this IS fact
makes the project worthy of consideration
and discussion.
The plan is a combination ell
terprise O. political partnership with
two branches of work to be respectively as
sumed by the partners, each of whom is to
raise a faction to be united under one pam
ner. and, by voting for each others inter-
ests, to gain their respective objects. In
short, il is to be a union of the labor classes
of the east and the free silver men OF the
south and west, with acquisitions from the
great mass of people who may be dissatis-
fled with the democrats and republicans,
and yet not ready to endorse the visionary
schemes of the populists. The work which
it is said will fall to Mr.. Cameron's lot
i'm this undertaking, will be the ANAL
gamation of the labor classes. All that Is
asked from labor in return for the advan-
tages thus offered is the support of the
free silver demands of another large por-
ton OF the country, situated like labor, UNI
able TO accomplish what II wants alohe'
but which can enforce its needs by union
Senator Jones's task Is explained 10 De
the enrolment of the west and south into
line. promising them free silver and an eX-
tended currency i'm exchange for their sup
port of the interests of the eastern wing OF
the new party. In the west II is claimed
that Senator Jones will nave two fruitful
fields from which to recruit ms ranks
There will be the original free silver men,
who want the UNFOLDING OF the white metai
against allcomers and under whatever con-
ditons may be necessary. These VIII form
the nucleus of his faction. Then he VIII
draw from the republican party, 1t IS claim
ed, those men who were populists TOT
while, held to that organization by the
free silver thread, and who, on account OF
the vagaries of their new love. were final
~ compelled to divorce her at the last cleo
ton and 30 to the republicans.
Hopeful of the south.
In the south, ii is said, the new party
expects To muster a force with the cry OF
more money and fair elections. IL IS pe-
lievod by the promoters of the scheme that
this will capture the populists body ana
soul and swing into lire the Kolbites of
Alabama and the republicans OF virginia
North Carolina and Tennessee, who want
honest elections. 1t is explained that tho
Dopulists OF the south differ from his tan
gled- haired Kansas and Nebraska cousin.
All this would be well enough ii the demo
cratic party had not time and again declar-
Ell for silver and the oft-repeated policy had
not settled into determined principle no
more TO toe baked by irresponsible leaders.
The southern democrats will aswer as Gov
ernor FishbacR, of Arkansas, did, when
asked to join this new party: I'm the demo
cratic party is the only hope for silver, and
that party will ultimately win out on that
issue"
