Thurman Explains the Conference
of the Ohio SIIverites.

Columbus, o., Sept S0.-There can be
no longer any doubt that the free silver
democrats OF Ohio are determined to pre-
vent the return OF Calvin S. Brice to the
United States Senate.
Allen w. Thurman admitted to-day that
that was the object OF the conference Of
the free silver democrats here on Satur-
day I'VE have found, said he, that very
many democratic candidates for the legis-
lature are for free silver, and we pro-
pose to pledge all of these not to vote for
any man for senator who Is unfriendly to
silver. They will have to come under
the pledge or run the risk of being de-
ifeated. With such force In the legisla-
ture we will hold the balance OF power
II 1t is democratic, and j guess In that
case a man who is hostile to silver will
find some difficulty IN making his way
to the United States Senate"
