SILVER DEMOCRATS.

Washington, July Ex-senator Jones OF
Arkansas, who joined with Senators Har-
ris and Turpie in issuing call for a con-
ference of silver Democrats in Washing
ton. on the eighteenth of August, has
written to Il friend in Washington eX'
planning the origin of the call and the pur'
poses of the meeting. He says:
"At Memphis. after the adjournment
of the meeting there, a number of Demo
crafts from different States held a meet
ing at the Gayoso hotel, and after consld'
GRAFTON that meeting requested Senators
Harris, Turpie and myself to take steps
to organize the silver Democrats so that
they should be fairly represented in the
next National convention. We conclud'
ed that the best way to do This was to
first organize Il National central commit
tee of silver Democrats, consisting of one
or more members from each State, and lct
these members look after the Organiza-
ton of their own States. To select gen
tlemen for membership of this commit
tee by correspondence seemed slow, hence
it was concluded to invite one or more
gentlemen of character from each State 10
meet in Washington and select if they
thought well of it, this committee. MAT
is all there is to it, aus | understand il"
The general impression seems to have
gone out that this conference was to be
a massmeeting. Senator Jones state
ment puts it i'm n different light.
