NOT FOR CAMPBELL, OF ONO.
His Ratio Theory Does Not STIR the
silver Men.

washington Star Independent 25th)
The latest statement OF Ex-Governor
Campbell that he would accept a nomlna-
ton at Chicago. even on silver plat
form. but that he doesn't want the honor
at all, creates no comment and little IN
terest at the Capitol The silver men,
from conversations with some Of them this
morning view the announcement coldly
and indifferently. Their feeling may be
summed up In the remark u Representa-
tive Terry, OF Arkansas, who said. There
Is no danger that Mr.. Campbell Will he
nominated We will nominate a silver
man and he will beat Mckinley"
The majority OF the others seen did not
care TO have their names used. as they
did not want TO offend 30 good and popu-
lar a Democrat as Campbell. but they said
that straight silver man would be the
nominee. Ex-Governor CampbelFs IDEAS
on international bimetallism DO not suit
any OF them.
