DEMOCRATIC SILVER LEADERS
A Meeting Held in Memphis Prominent
Silverites Present.

Memphis, Tenn, Sept 23.-The meet.
ing of the Democratic silver leaders,
called to put in practical shape the con
illusions of the conference held in Wash
ington last month, met here today.
There were present Senators Harris and
Jones of Arkansas; w. HI. Hinrichsen,
chairman of the Illinois State Demo
cratic committee; Governor Stone of
Missouri, Hon. Casey III. Young of Mem
phis and several others of less note.
Senator Turpie of Indiana was the
principal absentee, being detained at
home.
The chief object of this meeting was
to appoint chairmen for the different
States, who are to organize the silver
forces with view to capturing the State
delegations to the National Democratic
convention. The leaders here seem hope
full of accomplishing this result, partic-
ularly Mr.. Hinrichsen. He says the
Democracy of the South and of the
doubtful States are for free silver, and
will vote for it in the National conven-
ton. He reiterated his former declara-
tons as to the policy and purposes of
the administration.
Cleveland, he said, would bring on a
war with Spain about Cuba and eventual
ly with England. This would give him
an excuse to call for big issue of bonds
and rivet the gold standard on the coun-
try, and would, besides, clear the way
for third term.
Up to 1 80 p. m. no appointments
of State chairmen had been made.
The leaders remained in conference
until late this afternoon, when it was
announced that the result of their DELHI
erations would not be made public, as
the executive committee they had met
to select had not been completed. The
names of representatives of a number
of States upon this committee were gone
over, and while in some cases the selec-
ton is final, in others further confer
ence and correspondence will be neces-
sary. To give out the names of the
members of the partially formed COM
mittee, it was thought, would have
bad effect. The leaders are proceeding
carefully in the selection of these heads
of State organizations, as they desire
to secure men who are not only in full
sympathy with the free silver coinage
movement. but who will carry on the
work of agitation and organization Wig
orously. This afternoons conference
concluded the deliberations of the lead
ers in this city.
In an interview tonight Senator Jones
of Arkansas said he though there would
be no financial legislation by the coming
congress, owing to lack of accord be-
tween the president and congress. He
had no doubt, however, that President
Cleveland would recommend in his mes
sage to congress a $500, 900 bond is
sue and the retirement of greenbacks,
which would reduce the REGULATING me-
dunn about 81 per capita.

LOOK QUIZ For YOUR INTEREST,

LOOK OUT FOR YOUR INTERESTS
The New York papers state that 500
colored laborers from South Carolina
! have been contracted for to go to work
on the Jerome park reservoir in progress
of construction for supplying New York
| City with water.
The first object the papers intimate in
employing negro labor was that they
| could get it cheaper than white labor.
| and the second was that the negro was
more docile and would not be likely to
strike. Both objects manifest sinister
design against the negro laborers employ
ed. 1t is unfair for the city of New
York to employ negroes because they can
get more and cheaper work out of them,
and then to presume upon their dociity
to prevent strike when the negroes find
that out, is an evidence that these en-
ployers designedly intend to impose upon
the negroes.
These are sufficient reasons to keen
the negro laborers away from there, but
there is more potent reason. If South
ern negroes go North to work at less
wages than white laborers will work for
it amounts to certainty that they will
not be permitted to do the work in peace.
The white laborers in the North are not
going to stand idly by and see the ne
groes of the South take their work away
from them. Just as certain as the me-
groes attempt it they will be attacked by
mobs and driven away. 1t is best for the
negro to stay in the country and be sur
rounded by the environments and work
for the men that they were raised with.
Whether they go to Mexico or the North
they are going to have trouble, and if
they stay here and are industrious they
are certain both of good treatment and
compensating wages.

there are negroes who will sacrifice the
opportunity to make a dollar day in

WAR IN CUBA.

The Cincinnati Times-Star says
Gwen the Tory London Times virtually

conclusion that the so-called insurrection
can not be suppressed in less than three
years and at cost less than $4,000, 600.
Spain can not sustain war of three
years and can no more raise the sum the
Times holds necessary than could Greece,
Portugal, Turkey or any other of the
European bankrupts. Meanwhile the
desire for annexation to the United
State grows in Cuba"
