Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, May 1O.-The big
national convention of republican clubs. 20
lie held in this city next June. promises to
be the scene OF conflict between the silver
and the gold forces, between the west and
the st. Both will seek to control the or
ganization of the convention.
The western delegates have up to the past
few weeks shown the greatest enthusiasm
in regard to the convention, but of late the
east has become aroused to the necessity of
action.
y few weeks ago it was believed that q
large majority OF the delegates would be in
favor Of the free coinage of silver at the
ratio of IL to 1 without waiting for any
International agreement.
Now, there is reason to believe that
the majority will be in favor of free silver.
Mr.. Gleason of New York. who called on
the members of the general entertainment
committee here the other day, was told that
the silver men Were making great prepara-
tons TO be fully represented and TO intro
duce the monetary question into the de-
bates of the convention.
Mr.. Gleason was also advised that unless
the alleged sound money men of the east,
known as gold bugs by the outspoken
bimetalists, desired to be everlastingly
buried out of sight he had better rally
them and have them at the convention in
force.
Mr. Gleason saw the force of the sug-
gestiOn. and promised to to it that the
New Workers and New Englanders who
are " edded to a gold standard come to
Cleveland 20 stem what they call the tide
of silver imitation. Mr.. Gleason declared
that the western sentiment must be headed
off by choosing a wise and judicious COM
mittee en- resolutions. He said such
course had been adopted before and could
be again
The local committee however, has set
aside the first day of the convention as
time when any delegate with a hobby can
discuss it, and he may offer any resolution
that his reason fancy may dictate.
In seeking to enforce the selection of an
anti-silver chairman. IL Mr.. Gleason keeps
his promise, there will be the incest de-
bate on the money question this town ever
heard.
Congressman-elect Burton has received q
letter from ex-senator John J. Ingalls,, who
says he viii be here and will deliver an adj
dr. ess unless something unforeseen happens
to prevent him. And Ingalls, will probably
stir up few dry bones with his eloquence.
The finance committee, which is to pro-
vide money for the convention has figured
out that $1,000 will be needed NJ. y.
Hanna is the chairman.

NooALEs NOTES.
orc Blanco Mall Route.

Thursday Postmaster Wylie re- ceived official notification from the department at Washington that the petition for new mail route between Nogales and Old Glory, in the Orc Blanco mining district, had been granted. There were no particulars, but MT. Wylie expects any day a full statements of details. including num- Der of trips weekly, time to be em- ployed in making the trip, etc, with authority to let temporary contract for carrying the mails.
 This new mail facility is one long needed b. Nogales and the Orc Blanco country, and will be great advantage to both. It will greatly shorten the time of communication and facilitate travel between the town and the min ing district. At present all mail has to 20 via Benson and Tucson, and it Is impossible to get letter out there and receive a reply inside of a week; while those wishing to go out there or come in have to hire teams. With the mail route a letter sent one day can receive reply the next, and any one desiring to go out or come in will find the facilities for quick travel at regular and stated times. They can come in from Orc Blanco, do their trading and return home in about the same time it now takes to go to Tue son. This will result in many people and much trade coming to Nogales which now goes elsewhere.

Appended to that however, was an unauthenti- cated rumoEswhich discredited my re- port by alleging that Minas Prietas, Sonora. on the line of the Sonora rail way was the locus of the epidemic. This is not true. No epidemic exists at Minas Prietas any more than in Nogales, There have been few cases of small pox in a mild form there as we'll as at Nogales, but every case has been looked after by the authorities of Sonora and no more danger exists from that source there than from No gales.
