Silver Men Will Control the Demo-
cratic Convention.
An Organized Campaign VIII BE Conduct
ed Towards This End-No Veto
President Wanted.

The organization of the silver men
provided for by the recent conference
will have the effect of marshaling the
silver men together under trained
leaders in the different states and terri
tories. The compact between the mem
bers OF the recent conference was the
the silver fight should be carried on ex-
clusively within the democratic party,
that every effort should be made to win
control of the party organization. That
only tried and true friends OF silver
should be nominated for office, or elected
delegates to conventions. Particular
pains will be taken to get control OF the
party machinery in the different states,
and with this object in view every silver
democrat will be urged to attend every
party caucus, conference, primary and
see to it that the sentiment of the ma
jority controls. The national COM
mitteeman for each state is to appoint a
state committee, congressional commit
tees and county committees. Silver lit
erature will be Systematically distributed
among the voters and the grand effect OF
the enterprise will be to send delegates
enough to the next national convention
to give the advocates OF silver coinage
control OF that body. The members o
the executive committee having contro
OF the organization, while all earpes
free coinage men, are, in the main, mod
crate and conservative and by no means
slaves of one idea. They believe tha
the democratic party stands for goot
deal more than a reform OF the currenc,
system, and that, while that is vita
and prominent plank in the platform
other great questions and other grea
issues must not be lost sight OF,
The delegates to the recent conferenc
were not of the noisy, shouting, singing
hysterical kind that sometimes max
themselves conspicuous in popula
movements. Singing, shouting and de
nunciation are always observable i
gatherings OF populists, and were ais
noticeable in meetings of the old Green
back party. The republicans in state
like Iowa, Kansas and the western TT
The eagle. (Silver City, N.M.) 1894-1???, 1895-08-28

of Missouri, the Secretary OF State OF
Illinois and ex-Congressman Casey
Young OF Tennessee. The aim OF the
executive committee, understand, is to
select the strongest and most earnest
men whose services can be secured to
serve as national committeeman in the
new movement. They will aim to make
the national committee OF the. free
coinage democrats stronger intellectual
ly and in public estimation than the re-
gular national committee OF the dem
ocratic party. As the machinery OF
democratic party i'll great many OF the
states, particularly in the south and
west, is already under control OF the
silver men, it is easy to see that the new
movement, when pushed vigorously and
skilliully by trained politicians, long
familiar with party organization, can be
made machine OF permanent influence
by the time the next national conven-
tion OF the party assemblies.
In conversation with the delegates to
the conference | found the prevailing
opinion of the more thoughtful to be OPP
position to presidential veto, rather
than demand for an extreme and radi.
cal free coinage advocate as president OF
the United States. The belief prevailed
among them that the object OF eastern
politicians OF all parties was to maintain
control OF the executive, as they put 1t,
elect veto president OF the United
States. This they denominate one-man
government and declare that they are
rigidly and implacably opposed to it.
They believe that the eastern democrats
OF the next national convention will con-
cede anv kind OF II platform almost that
the west and south demand but will in
sist upon naming the presidential candi-
dare. They believe that the eastern
democrats, AS well as the eastern repub-
Leans, will oppose the nomination oi
any man ior president who is not pledged
: to veto legislation in the interest OF si.-
yer coinage and an enlargement OF the
currency. They argue that this is an
isidlous attempt to alter or change the
constitution OF the United States. The
J Constitution, they say, provides that
r laws shall be passed by a majority vote
of both houses OF congress. Under the
ideas OF New York and New England,
: legislation can only be passed by Il two
thirds vote in both houses OF congress-
/ meaning that it requires a two-thlrds
r vote to pass a bill over the veto OF the
President.

quent display OF horrible examples or
object lessons. The silver movement |
within the democratic party, however,
is OF more substantial sort and builted |
on more solid foundations.
The men conspicuous and prominent
in the movement are earnest and digni-
fiedly stubborn, but are not of the gen.
uine crank or frantic kind, as Wall
street would like to have the country
believe. Isham 6. Harris is states
man of the practical kind. He has
never been identified with fads, freaks
or isms. He has been in public life a
long time and enjoys to most hatter
ing degree the absolute confidence OF a
great state, and is considered by his
colleagues in the United States Senate
as one OF the most clear headed, quick
witted, astute statemen in that body.
James X. Jones of Arkansas is a robust
partisan. He takes high rank in the
senate. He is too amiable to be always
effective. Ihave always thought that his
amiability caused him to yield too much
to the little clique who are trying to
destroy the tariff bill when that measure
was before the senate in the last congress
and Jones was one of the men in charge
OF it. The integrity OF the Arkansas
Senator is beyond question. Like Harris,
he has long been in public life--of course,
not as long as Harris, as am inclined to
think that Harris is perhaps the ranking
public lunctionary in years and expert
ence now in the service OF his country
Jones, however, has had long experience
in the House of Representatives, and was
q member OF the Ways and Means Com
mittee by appointment OF Speaker John
q. Carlisle when he was transferred To
the senate. No man in his proper senses
would think OF calling Jones a fanatic or
dreamer, and nobody who knows him
or studies his career would believe he
would advocate movement fraught with
danger or disaster to the people OF his
country.
David Turple OF Indiana is a docr
naire, student, Il philosopher. He is
not as practical statesman as either
Jones or Harris, but is capable OF going
deeper into subject than either OF then
and 20 perhaps to more dangerous ex
tremes to fulfill the ends he has in view
} These are the three controlling minds o

TO PROTECT STEEL HuLrs.

Since tho construction OF steel vessels
without sheathing was adopted by the
navy department the Importance OF pro-
tecting the huls from fouling has been
greatly Increased. Under present regu-
iatiors all steel vessels, wherever prac-
sscable. are required 20 be locked.
scraped and painted at least twice
every year. No ship IL allowed 10 go
over nine months without docking ex-
cept by special order of the secretary
OF the navy. Last year the Newark.

was done at cost OF many thousands
Of dollars. and also compelled her alb

The cost OF dockags Of our new navy
Is n serious item. Vessels stationed at
uawail or at South Pacific ports must
come north 10 Mare island every six

Is true OF those stationed or cruising in

Many experiments are being made
and the naval authorities are constant

srcs that will prevent or diminish the
