PROGRAMME OF silver MEN
The Compact of Western Silver
Republican Leaders
SILVER ABOVE POLITICS
The Republicans Will Have Show, Then
the Democrats
And Both Old Parties Detecting, Then They
Are to Be Abandoned for an Irde.
pendent Platform

Associated Press Special Wire.
4 CHICAGO, July CA special to the
Daily News from Washington says: West.
ern silver Republicans have outlined an
interesting programme to be pursued in
the next national Republican convention.
Today western Republican of national
prominence, who arrived in Washington
two days ago, disclosed the programme
of the silver mon in all its details and it
is so audacious as to startle the political
managers here. The plan, he says, was
agreed upon at conference of western
senators held last month. The senators
and other western Republican leaders
who participated in the compact repre-
sent.the,western silver states and profess
to be able to control the delegations to
the next national Republican convention
from those states. These states are
Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Washington,
Oregon, Colorado Nevada. Utah, Califor-
MIA and South Dakota. These states are
claimed solidly for the agreement and the
states of North Dakota and Nebraska
may yet join in the movement. 1t is
the purpose of the western silver Repub-
licans to meet and choose delegates to the
national Republican convention IN the
regular form and when the convention
meets to present the name of Senator
Cameron of Pennsylvania for president.
If Cameron is not acceptable to the Re-
publicans the convention will be asked to
agree upon some other representative free
silver Republican. II it refuses to act
upon the suggestion the delegates from
these.western states say they will march
out of the convention in "a oody, carrying
with the committee as many Of their free
silver delegates from other states as they
can command. They will wait upon the
Democratic convention, not as delegates,
because they cannot be admitted as such,
but as commission knocking at the
doors and asking for the nomination OF
free silver Democrat-Senator Morgan Of
Alabama preferred.
If the democratic convention fails to
act upon the demand the silver men will
abandon both old parties. 1t is not now
dependent political movement to nomi-
nate standard bearer for 1885, on an in
dependent silver platform, but their ef-
forts will be directed toward choosing
electors pledged to the election OF free
silver president regardless OF personal
preferences. The idea of nominating an
independent free silver candidate pre-
vailed until quite recently. but was aban-
doned as piece of bad political policy,
and failing to secure recognition from
either of the national conventions. the
silver men say they will seek to hold the
balance OF power in the next electoral
college and prepare one OF the old partles 3
to bring forward silver man in order to
secure the election.
The movement outlined is at present
confined to the Republican party. The
Democrats declare that they fear that a
similar instruction may break Out IN

the Cornell crew will not be aole to hold
out after passing Fawley Court against
the stronger reach and swing OF the Eng
llsh crews.
The Pail Mall Gazette, commenting on
the same subject. thinks the Cornell men
have been doing the reverse of improve
ment during the last week. 1t has been
discovered, the Gazette says, that stale
ness is thing to be guarded against as
well as insufficient preparation. : -
d. H. Mclean, an old oarsman OF Eton
and Oxford experience and who has been
present at the Henley regattas for twenty
years past. thinks that the Cornell men
best the United States could produce as
they have carried everything before
them in American. He adds: "They are
simply an unknown quantity in the
competition for the fchallenge cup. and
if they win we must reconsider our most
cherished ideas of rowing"
Mr.. Mclean also expressed the opinion
that the Canadians. with the crew of the
Argonut Rowing club of Toronto. have
a beautiful crew with which to compete
for the stewards challenge cup for fours.
The cool weather of the past week has
had favorable effect on the atten dance
at the theaters. Daly's came in for
several mem bers of the royal family. The
production of Two Gentlemen OF Verona
has excited much criticism. There has
been praise for the manner in which it
is mounted and objection for the manner
in which Mr.: DAILY interPolated music in
James Lewis have been highly compli-
mented by the critics.
Nj. B. Curtis gave trial matinee of
Sam'l O. Posen on Thursday last at the
Gaiety theater. The result is that the
newspapers have united in a chorus of
-, !,
fact that the play was successful in the
United States.
Mrs. Patrick Campbell returned to the
cast of Fedora yesterday and Beerbohm
Tree is engaged in securing cast for
Trilby.
1t transpired during the week that Du
Maurier took for. his model for Little
Billee the son of cabinet maker of
Hampstead, who has sicne adpoted the
stage as profession. Mr.. Tree has en-
gagged him to play that character in the
approaching production OF Trilby.
Though the Princess of Wales has al
ways shown great fondness for adven-
ture like riding IN Buffalo Bills stage

etc., and this week she, IN company with

Large Bodies Of Armed Men In Western

CHARLESTON, W. Va, July 6.-Gov-
ernor McCorkle's representative at Elk
horn wires that the operators have made
formal demand on the sheriff of Nc
Dowell county for protection against the
threatened outbreak of miners in that
section. and the sheriff has verbally ad-
mitted that he is unable to give it. He
has, however, made no demand on the
governor for militia, though Governor
McCorkle admitted that he IS In constant
expectation OF such a demand.
The governor stated that while the men
never during the last strike committed
any infraction of the law, yet within the
past few days the outlook has materially
changed. Instead of being contented to
resume work the miners are becoming
restless.
Many of them are carrying arms. Eev-
eral of the operators have tried to resume
with non-union men brought from Vir-
ginia. and against these feeling among
the strikers Is very bitter. Large bodies
of men, some Of them armed, are march

The records of the Foreign Mail Bureau

outfit considered necessary to drive aen,e
the continent ! $50 fullgrUWn. broad horned
steers. few if any Of which had ever felt
the touch Of a human hand since they we've
branded as calves, was rather extensive
and IN our case consisted of 20 men 90
horses and two wagons loaded with supplies,
The horses wagons, provisions aud
blankets we're easily obtained in aud about
Austin. but the purchase and branding Of
the cattle took time and plenty of hard
riding. for the cattlemen lived many miles
apart. and 100 To 200 head from each
ranch was all that we could depend upon
at 50 short a notice. as il was late in the
season when we arrived. and the herds
had already been closely culled, and Jnost
of the drivers to the North and West were
well out Of the settlements.
Then came the most important a. well
as what proved to be the most difficult
task Of all-that of hiring the men
Austin was filed with the riff raft that
usually forms a prominent feature in the
population Of towns everywhere along the
Western border; there were disbanded
soldiers, renegades from other States and
adventures of all kinds, but very few ex-
perienced cowboys could be had at any
reasonable figure, as most Of these had de
parted with the earlier herds. After nearly
a week we found we had succeeded in en-
gaeing only i've or six really competent
men. leaving us no alternative but TO fill
out the required number with others who
knew little or nothing about cattledriving,
and whose antecedents were in many cases
Of the most dubious character.
1t is not my purpose to give in this ar
ticle any minute description Of the drive,
albeit the foregoing details are necessary
for al Ineligible explanation Of what fol
lowed. Sufficient then to say that mis-
fortune followed in our trail from the day
