TAKE A NEW TACK.
Virginia Silver Democrats Have
a New Plan of Campaign.
They Will Put the Gold Men on
the Defensive.
USE THEIR WEAPONS.
USE THEIR WEAPONS
Writings of Carlisle and Cleve-
land to be Employed.
VIII be Used to Defeat the
Gold Cause.

CHICAGO, Aug. IA special to the
Post from Washington says: Politics in
the state of Virginia is beginning to as
sumo a new phase, and the silver Demo-
Gratis are preparing for a form of cam
paign which they believe will have the
effect of changing the character of the
present controversy between the factions
of the party.
They propose practically to abandon
free coinage as the leading issue of the
campaign and to place the sound money
men upon the defensive by attacking
what they regard as the most vulnerable
points in the sound money doctrine.
To do this they propose to use the pres
idents message to the last congress
upon the financial question, the re-
port of Secretary Carlisle upon the
same subject, and the bill which Mr..
Carlisle repaired and submitted to the
house, together with the bill which was
afterward substituted for the Carlisle bill
by the banking aud currency committee,
to show that the administration and its
followers would retire all the green
backs, the treasury notes, and ultimately
the silver dollars, thus causing u con-
traction of the currency by the with
drawal from circulation of more than
SJU,OO0,0U0 of dollars.
that the definition of sound money given
by the advocates of sound money means
gold coin and national bank notes
The plan adopted by the silver men
for launching this method of campaign
ing is somewhat peculiar. Some time
ago Representative elect T. ]. Otey,
of the Sixth Virginia congressional
district issued g call for a convention of
the silver men OF that district As Otey
was elected to congress silver mn and
as his constituency is largely composed
of silver men, it was naturally wondered
what purpose he could possibly serve by
holding such meeting. 1t now
transpires that this convention is to be
the first step in the movement
the silver men are about to start, and
that all the influential silver Democrats
of the state are behind it.
The convention will endorse free coin
age at the ratio of 16 to 1, but this is to
be only minor issue, and dependence
for the effect is to be placed in the other
features of the programme.
