ALTGELD A SILvERITE.
Illinois Governor Says State Dem
ocrats Will Declare for Free


s CHICAGO, April SIN an interview
mere today. Gen. Altgeld intimated
that the Democratic party of Illinois
will probably declare for free silver at
the state convention to be held June
3. Il believe" said the governor.
THAT four-fifths of the Democrats
and Republicans of the state are at
the present time in favor of free sill
yer, l mean by this that if the senti-
ment of the votes could be obtained
without any political coloring. it
would show belief in free silver.''
DO you think that with this feel
ing prevailing the Democrats will put
free silver plank in the platform
adopted at the state convention?" he
was asked.
well, no, I can't say as to that be-
cause there is no telling what NAV
take place between now and the time
for holding the convention. will not
attempt to make prediction, but I
will say that the feeling in both parties
is in favor of free silver. The
southern part of the state is a unit
for it. The enthusiasm extends up as
far as the central portion, and I be-
sifeve that the sentiment in that dis
trict alone is strong enough to control
the policy of the entire state in the
convention"

Judge Mcpherson has filed i'm the court

opinion which. if sustained, will have a
