THE SILVER LEADERS
They Have a Lively Literary Bureau in
Washington.
PROSPECTS, IN THE SOUTH.


WASHINGTON, u. C.. April 5.-Cspe-
cial) THE leaders Of the proposed inde-
pendent silver party are very hard at
work devising plans to gain recruits
between now and the opening Of the next
presidential campaign. They are run
ming a lively literary bureau In Wash
ingion. and preparations are made
for turning out large amount Of mat
ter 10 be distributed among the people
living in the rural sections. Men promi-
neht in the movement make regular visits
10 Washington to confer with The mana
gers. and it IS understood they Will en-
deavor especially TO work up a sentiment
in the South in favor Of II distinctive
silver party, having no connection with
either Of the old parties.
1t is said that the managers are not
yet meeting with very much encourage
ment in virginia. They claim things are
more encouraging, however. in North
Carolina, where the indications are that
many thousands OF people formerly afiili-
ating with the Republican and POpulist
parties will join the silver party They
even go so far as to insist that the POpu-
lists will be disintcgrated as party in
North Carolina. But what they want TO
accomplish down there. as well as in Viz
glnia and other portions Of the South. Is
10 split the Democratic party. just how
to DO this I'm Virginia puzzles the silver
League They privately admit that the
rank and file OF the property owners in
Virginia have had such bitter expert
ence with the Malone crowd they are in
40 mood 10 try any other experiment,
but are disposed to stand by the Demo
crate organization.
Politicians in this city who are opposed
to the Democratic party let no opporiu-
nifty escape 10 speak harshly Of tho
Walton election-law in Virginia. They
charge that that law was framed with the
view 10 holding the state for the DemOc-
racv. and until 1t is repealed they think
there will be little chance OF carrying
out any new ideas in politics in Virginia.
RANSOM'S INDISPOSITION.
some OF General Ransom's friends now
i'm this city DO not attach much impor-
lance TO the news from the city OF McXi-
co to the effect that he Is indisposed. He
was not feeling very strong when he left
Washington last Saturday, and the teii-
Gus Journey was expected TO tire him
considerably although il was broken on
the trip 10 give MIN some rest. beneral
Raneom has not been entirely free from
ailments since his accident last November,
and the injuries then sustained have
caused him much pain. Then. again, the
arduous duties IN a closing session Of Con-
cress. together with the preparation for
assuming his new duties as minister, were
enough 10 tax the strength Of any man.
II is believed that within few days
General Ransom will be all right The
climate. It is thought. will brace him up
rapidly.
