And So Are the People In Minne-

Carry the Matter to Satis-
factory Conclusion.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, April 8. = Senator
John M. Palmer does not approve of the
action of the democratic state central
committee In calling q minority conven-
tion to meet here June 4. He says II was
an unwise move and does not represent
the sentiment of the Illinois democracy.
The congress elected in 1892 by democrats
repealed the Sherman act and did other
work In harmony with democratic opinion,
including q call for a monetary confer
ence. The president and secretary of the
treasury by wise and discreet exercise
OF lawful powers, have maintained the
public credit and the receipts of the treas
ury. under the operation of democratic
legislation, arc largely increasing. Moth
ing more is necessary to the return OF
prosperity to the country than that demo-
cratic policies be allowed to accomplish
their beneficial results.
1t is true the people are suffering under
conditions not produced by any act of the
democratic party, yet they are held re-
sponsible, and the result has been stun
ming defeat in the late elections.
"You ask If the democracy of the state
will acquiesce in the action of the state
convention, which declared for free and
unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio of
16 to 1, an article of democratic faith,
answer no. All democrats, SO far as
know their views, are anxious to extend
the usefulness of silver as a money metal; !;
some believe free coinage at the present
ratio would bring about this result. An
other class does not believe it. They want
a dollar of silver to be made the standard
of the value and legal tender. If they be-
lieve the free coinage of silver would pro-
duce a dollar of full usefulness as a dol
lar of gold, they would not care for the
free coinage of silver"
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, April S.-A silver
party is the latest acquisition to political
affairs in Alabama. In Athens, Lime
stone county, 400 democrats, republicans
and populists met and banded them
selves together in favor of the free coin
age of silver and bound themselves with
out any respect to party ties. to support
for Office only such men as favored their
views.
CHICAGO, April 8.-Senator Warner
Miller of New York is at the auditorium.
When asked what was the strength of the
free silver sentiment in the East. he said I:
"A few bankers and many individuals are
in favor of free coinage, but the masses
are opposed to it. 1t appears to me that
honest money aud the tariff question will
control the next republican presidential
nomination, and that populism and free
silver will not only control the demo-
cratic convention, but will dictate the
platform and name the candidates"
CHICAGO, April 8.-A special from St.
Paul, Minn., says: There will be free
silver convention in Minnesota during
the coming summer or fall. 1t is planned
on broad lines and will take in every demo-
crat and every republican who desires to
participate. provided he'is an avowed adj
vocate of free silver coinage.
