yer conference at Washington met at the
Gayoso House in this city for the pur-
pose of naming Chairmen for the various
States, whose duty it shall be TO superin-

Hons. w. ii. Henrichsen Of Illinois and
Casey Young of Tennessee. All the
members were present except Senator
Turpie, who was detained at home.
" hen the mem Ders of the board met
this morning it was confronted by a mass
of correspondence relative to men whom
It should appoint, and the manner in
which the campaign for free silver should
De carried OH in the several States. These
letters were carefully considered, and
when adjournment came this evening
much, though not all, OF the work of per-
fecting the national silver organization
was done. While several OF the State
Chairmen had been named, but few de-
tails have been decided upon. The names
OF the men who were selected to-day to
lead the silver forces were not given out,
however.
Senator Harris upon this point said to
your correspondent: I'm view OF the
fact that all of the Chalrmen have not
been selected. and the organization being
therefore only partially perfected, we
have decided not to make the names Of
those chosen public. We do not care to
publish as the result of this meeting the
consummation of only a portion OF the
plan decided upon at the Washington
conference. It might convey wrong
impression. Within ten days We VIII
have selected Chairmen for all of the
forty-tive States, and will then make
their names public.
The men we have agreed upon will
be notified immedi .tely SO that they can
proceed at once With their work. The
others will be notified after the same
manner. In addition TO naming some
State Chairmen, we have discussed in a
large measure details OF making the
efforts for organization effective"

SAN Francisco, Sept. 23.-The prose-
cution added an important witness to its
case in the Durrant trial this morning in
the person of ". J. Phillips, cigar man
ufacturer, who testified that he saw Dur
rant come from the pawnshop Of Adolph
Oppenheim, on Dupont street. Philips
was not certain of the date, but he agreed
with Oppenheim that it was between the
4th and 10th of April, and the hour was
about 10 a. NJ. He said he was attracted
by Durrant's natty appearance, and PAID
close attention to him, but thought no
more of the matter until Oppenheim tes-
titled as to Durrant's visit to him. When
the pictures of Durrant were first pub
lished in the papers, Phillips said he had
remarked to his wife that the face was
familiar. When he read the pawnbroker's 3
testimony at the preliminary examlna-
ton it flashed on his mind whore ne had
seen it.
Phillips identified both Durrant and
Oppenhem in court. lie said he had
thought that the loss of DurranSs mus
tache would have made his identification
difficult, but on the stand he was positive
be was the man, and believed he would
be able TO swear to Durrants identity
even though his head had been shaved.
Oppenheim was also on the stand for
awhile this morning. His memory was
tested as TO others than Durrant who had
called al his store and he was unable to de-
scribe them. Several articles which Dur
rants counsel had offered TO Oppenhelm
were shown TO him, and be remembered
when they were offered, but could not
describe the persons who took the articles
to him, though the visits were as recent
as was Durrant's at the time Oppenheim
first identified him.
Notwithstanding gOppenheim's inability
testimony is tsken as conclusive on that
point, unless it shall be broken down by
counter testimony from the defense. This
is promised. Though neither Oppenheim
nor Phillips We're positive of the day OF
Durrant's alleged visit, they are positive
it was not on Sunday, April 7th.
1t is said Durrant's counsel have wit
nesses to show that Durrant could not
have visited OppenheIm's any morning
at the hour stated between the 4th and
10th, unless it was on the 9Th.
Two newspaper men who had inter-
viewed Durrant after his arrest testified
that Durrant had denied having seen
Blanche Lamont on the afternoon OF
April Sd, but admitted that he had been
with her in the morning.
Mrs. a. B. Perry, daughter of Mrs.
Crosset who testified that she saw Dur
rant with a young lady on Valencia
street car on the afternoon of April Sd.
corroborated her mother as TO the date,
and the fact OF her having taken the
Valencia-street car The prosecution
will probably close tomorrow morning.

vincible machine behind it, and no cut
and dried platform. Platform and can
didates will be fought over on the floor OF
the convention. There will be strife be-
tween Tammany and the State Demo-
cracY, Sentiments all over the State seem
to favor liberal treatment of contestants,

city, but TamInany says mo-" and TO all

but his influence is felt and it is all
against letting in the men who helped de-
feat Tammany last year and shared the
victors' spoils with Republicans.
Upon the admission of the State DEM
ocracy depends IN a large measure the
action OF the German-American liberal
treatment OF the Grace tairchild mon,
which means the gain OF many German
votes. Another great question to be set
tied which will affect the German vote is
that of excise and Sunday opening.
