SIOUX CITY, Ia. July 3O.-The Jour
nails Ottumwa special says:
''How will the .Marshalltown conven-
ton handle the money question:" was
asked Charles A. WEIGH, secretary Of
the state Democratic committee.
Every indication is that the bimet-
allists will be in control. You can
judge for yourself when L say that of
thirty counties thus far heard from,
twelve delegations are instructed
for free coinage of gold and
silver at the ratio of 16 to
l, four counties adopt the Chi
cago platform, two express them
selves in favor of making the campaign
on state issues, and twelve counties go
uninstructed. The probabilities are, of
course, that a majority Of the counties
of the state will not instruct at all, as
it is somewhat unusual in this state
for county conventions to instruct the
state convention. But of those that
go uninstructed a large majority will
be for free coinage of silver at 16 to l."
