SILVER ELEMENT IN EVIDENCE.
Taubeneck's View of what Will BE the
Result of the Convention.

Taubeneck's View of what Will BE the
Result of the Convent ,on.
"The silver element OF the party, said
Taubrneck, lis much more in evidence
now than the other wing, but this is ow-
ing 10 the fact that the silver movement
is being promoted by the machine OF the
party. silver Democrats in illinois are
not nearly so numerous as they seem. L
think 1t may be safely estimated that full
ly une-third of the Democrats of Illinois
are gold men, and "A declaration for free
silver will drive these men out of the
Democratic party. Tho effect on the Re-
publicans is not yet apparent, because
they are keeping quiet. But when the IS.
sue is finally forced upon that party it
will certainly prove demorahZing. Ulti-
mately l think the result will be that the
Poop es party will gather in all the free
silver men of the country. Personally |
favor the union OF all the forces opposed
to the COLA standard in next years cam
paign
81 mean he silver Democrats of the
south anu west, the silver Republicans of
the vest the Populists of the whole
country, and the BimetanIc party. |
feel certain that the silver sentiment of
the country will eventually be CONSOLE
dated into one party-tnat must be the
Peoples party"
IL is probable that there will be "a meet
ing OF prominent PopuiIsts here this
evening, and an address To the country
will be issued, based upon the action of
the convention. The Cook county Democ-
racy, on It's arrival last night, marched
first To the executive mansion, where
Governor Altgeld delivered to them a free
silver speech.
AT "a meeting of the Democratic state
central committee which lasted until
midnight last night there was "A lively
fight over a resolution authorizing the
district committeeman at the several dis
trict meetings today To request their re-
spective delegations TO select delegates TO

BILE wrangling the resolution was adopt
