Gu over the prospecl thdt the convention
may nominate Hardin as free silver can
didate Tor governor and give him SOUND
money platform to stand upon. They say
this would mean a division in the demo-
cratic ranks that would give the republi-
cans walk-over in the state. They are
afraid that the party leaders may succeed
in running in a sound money nominee, in
which case they feel their chances would
be somewhat diminished, but even in that
case they would rely on the secession Of
the radical free silverites to the populist
party TO weaken the democracy
