WAsHINGToN. June 6. 1898.

Governor oates. Of Alabama, came to
the city on yesterday, and this morning
he was seen at his hotel. He said that
the people Of his State were not taking
rnuch interest in the discussion of the
financial questions. As for himself, ne
could be classcd as sound money man
in every sense OF the word, nut ne
thought this was not a very opport tune
time to commence the discussion OF the
silver question. The people Of his state
were not taking the interest as some
class Of politicians had thought. Ihey
are Hooking after their busihess' anu
pushing the same.
Wb,n asked about the delegation when
would likely be sent TO the National con.
vention. he said at present II cannon
be ascertained whether the delegation
would be divided as 10 the financial plank
or not; but would say II the Democrats
straddled or declared for silver ana
made II the issue. victory was most likely
to crown the Republican party ~nominees
But he thought by the time Of the next
convention, the party would all pun TO-
gether and be united.
IL will be remembered that Colonel
oates was a member from Alabama in
the House Of Representatives for years
and ran against the POpulist-RepuDhcan
nominee. Mr.. Kolb, for Governor OF that
state. and by his aggressive fight won
the admiration Of the people Of the coun'
try.
