Hall. The object of the convention is to
sound California on the silver question.
The advocates Of the white metal have
gathered here before to hear A. J. War

sion three days. The principal speaker s

MORRISON FOR PRESIDENT.

ouivocat Remarks TO the People,

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. 20-Hon. E
W. Carmack, editor of the Commercial
Appeal, one of the delegates from Ten
nessee to the recent Democratic Silver
Conference at Washington, has re
turned. In an interview to day, he
said:
1.-THE talk of Hon. VIM. r. Morrison
for the Presidential nomination by
certain jealous silver men must be
taken as tentative. Col. Morrison
has a record of untToken loyalty
to the cause of silver re monetiza-
ton, but so have a number of other
statesmen. You can't depend on re
cords as you once could, and no more
can you pin your faith to mems loyalty
to party platforms. Col. Morrison can
get the votes of free silver Democrats
only on the condition that he climbs up
on the housetops and make few une
quivocal and well understood remarks
to the American people. The country's
faith in human nature has had some Sc
we're shocks of late, and the people will
not go in blindfolded in the next cam
pajgn, but will keep both ears and both
eyes wide open.
